Rebirth in 2011: Starting as an Advertising Genius

In 2011, the popularity of online shopping had increased significantly, but it was still far behind that of later generations.

Currently, people need to obtain a USB token from a bank to make online payments. In another year or two, around 2013, the restriction on USB tokens will be completely eliminated.

Chen Jianghe and Xia An met in the school cafeteria.

It's difficult to find a place to discuss things now, so Chen Jianghe plans to apply for a startup office at the school later.

"What are you planning to film? And it costs 2000 yuan a day?"

Xia An looked at Chen Jianghe curiously.

This junior was completely different from the previous one. Before, Tian Ke didn't even dare to look her in the eye, but this one was looking her up and down.

"She's even prettier than she was at 30!"

Chen Jianghe looked Xia An up and down. He hadn't expected that the senior student Tian Ke had found would be Xia An.

He was quite familiar with Xia An.

In his previous life, he worked at his company after starting his own business, and his mastery of light and shadow was unparalleled.

"Senior, I need to shoot a series of photos in a forest-themed outfit, and also a promotional video of about one minute. Do you have any model recommendations?"

"Do you know about the forest style?"

Xia An was surprised. The concept of "forest style" has not yet been systematically established in China, but it already exists abroad.

I didn't expect Chen Jianghe to be so familiar with these styles.

The so-called "forest style" is actually a style that leans towards nature, with clothes generally in light colors.

"I've drawn some sketches and a script for the video we're shooting. Please take a look, senior. If you have any actor recommendations, we can work together!"

Chen Jianghe is going to shoot two things this time: one is photos of the clothes on models, and the other is a promotional video for Tianji Clothing, which he believes is the key to selling the clothes.

It's just that it costs too much money in the early stages.

Registering two Taobao stores has already cost 1000 yuan, and now hiring Xia An to film will cost another 2000 yuan. Adding in the cost of some actors, it will probably cost another 2000 yuan, not to mention Huang Xiaoqian's fee as a model.

Anyway, he needed 5000 in cash flow all at once. He just regretted that those small online loans hadn't appeared yet, otherwise Chen Jianghe would have borrowed them directly.

Left with no other option, he secretly borrowed 10,000 yuan from his cousin.

My cousin is also in Suzhou and is now working. When he heard that Chen Jianghe was borrowing money, he was initially worried, but Chen Jianghe persuaded him with a long explanation.

My cousin wasn't unwilling to lend money; he was mainly worried that Chen Jianghe would be scammed.

This is why Chen Jianghe asked his cousin for money. He could have asked his parents or uncles, but Chen Jianghe knew that once he asked, he would be questioned relentlessly about what had happened to him.

However, Chen Jianghe was confident that he would be able to pay back the 10,000 yuan in a short time.

"I am Tian Ke, and I speak for myself."

Xia An took the materials prepared by Chen Jianghe and started reading them. After reading the video script, she had a strange look on her face.

Well, how should I put it?

These shots are all very rudimentary.

A woman is looked down upon at work, a young man is looked down upon by his father, an ordinary person is looked down upon by a rich kid...

These scenes don't even require professional actors, because there are no lines.

However, the lyrics of this song are very powerful, even though they seem a bit cringey.

"For these kinds of scenes, we don't actually need to find professional actors; some students from our school will suffice!"

"Could you help me get an introduction, senior?"

Xia An nodded noncommittally. These things didn't even cost money; they could be covered by treating everyone to a meal under the guise of a team-building event for their photography club.

"There's a gift box that appears throughout your video; is it part of the promotional video for that Mori-style clothing line?"

Chen Jianghe nodded approvingly. As expected of a master photographer from later generations, he captured the key information in an instant.

"Yes, I want to make a promotional video to promote my Taobao store, so the video will include my Taobao store information at the end!"

Xia An was even more surprised now.

"You also opened a Taobao store?"

I've seen college students start their own businesses, and there are quite a few from art schools like theirs, but most of them just take on freelance work, like designing posters or murals, or like her, taking on photography jobs.

But she, who runs a Taobao store, has never seen it.

Opening a Taobao store usually requires having your own products, which must involve a significant investment, right?

Could this junior be a rich kid?

Shaking her head, Xia An stopped thinking about it; none of this had anything to do with her.

"Okay, it's settled then. I'll find the actors for you. One is a model for the clothing shoot, and a few are for the promotional videos. You're casting Tian Ke as the male lead, right?"

"Yes!"

The two quickly finalized the filming method and time, and the meeting came to an end.

Chen Jianghe didn't rush back to his dormitory; he strolled around the campus.

When I arrived at the university student entrepreneurship base, I saw that there were many empty offices, so I thought I would go over and take a look, and maybe I could choose an office for myself.

Their junior college is definitely not as good as a bachelor's degree. They probably only have less than 10 offices in total, two of which are labeled "Student Union Office".

There are only 8 offices available in total, of which 3 are in use, leaving 5 vacant.

Chen Jianghe looked at one of the rooms; it was a bit bigger and he thought it was nice. He'd ask his advisor how to apply for it later.

Just at this time,

"Chen Jianghe?"

The voice sounded familiar. Chen Jianghe turned around and saw Chen Wanting.

"When I took my boyfriend out to dinner last time, my meaning was very clear: I didn't want to tell you directly to avoid hurting you. And yet you still came all the way here to find me?"

Chen Jianghe: ? ? ? ?

"Um...I..."

"I know you liked me a lot in high school, but now we're college students, and there are so many people more outstanding than you. You need to face reality, study hard, and you'll find someone better in the future!"

This sentence,

Chen Jianghe seemed to agree, "Hmm!"

He nodded.

"Um?"

"What are you 'umming' about?"

"Yeah, you said it, I'll find someone better!"

"You..." Chen Wanting's face was somewhat angry. She just wanted to give Chen Jianghe a way out, but the other party actually mocked her.

Chen Jianghe shrugged indifferently, "You said it yourself!"

"Oh? Your name is Chen Jianghe, right?"

A voice came from behind Chen Wanting, and Chen Wanting immediately changed her expression, smiling broadly as she stepped forward and took his arm:

"Brother Wei, where have you been? I came looking for you but couldn't find you!"

Guo Wei affectionately stroked Chen Wanting's hair, which made Chen Jianghe feel disgusted.

"I just went to discuss a startup project with some classmates!"

"Hey Wei, you're starting a business?"

"Yes, a few of us classmates are planning to open a studio together and take on some pottery work from outside!"
