A new guide to winning over a girlfriend with an abstract identity is released every week.

If Chu Qi knew the specifics of the people who made these comments, she would definitely be speechless on the spot and make a meme.

The clown is actually myself?

Chapter 243 The Winds of the Times

"I just posted an update, and these friends are just joking. Look, even Zhang Xuan commented. He can't possibly be my wife, can he?"

Lin Zheng immediately let out a wronged snort.

Seeing Jiang Luoyu's suspicion, he immediately asked her to send a beautiful photo of herself that she had recently taken.

Immediately afterwards, he left a comment in her comment section: "My wife is so beautiful, obedient, cute and well-behaved!"

A compliment and a bold confession made Jiang Luoyu feel very happy.

As for Lin Zheng's post just now, she didn't care.

However, what she didn't notice was that only Lin Zheng called her "wife" in her post.

The other classmates all complimented her and her sister on how pretty they were.

Today, Lin Zheng plans to visit Zhou Shishi to see how she's been doing lately.

After all, he hadn't seen her for a month since he came to Nancheng.

After having lunch with Jiang Luoyu, he escorted her back to her dormitory, then left through the back door not far from the women's dormitory and took a taxi directly to Nancheng University of Posts and Telecommunications.

This move really has the feel of a time management master.

Nancheng University of Posts and Telecommunications and Nancheng University are both located in the University Town and are very close to each other; it only takes about 20 minutes by taxi to get there.

It must be said that there are significant differences between schools.

As a comprehensive university, Nancheng University covers an area of ​​more than 5,000 mu.

How large is this range?

It's roughly the size of most of the urban area of ​​an average county town.

Then, non-comprehensive universities like Nancheng University of Posts and Telecommunications don't have such a large land area.

After entering the campus and taking a stroll, we soon arrived at the girls' dormitory area where Zhou Shishi lived.

He didn't tell Zhou Shishi beforehand that he was coming to see her; he only called her when he arrived at her dormitory building.

"Hey? Shishi, what are you doing?"

Huh? Playing games in the dorm?

I came to visit you at your school, and I'm at the entrance of the girls' dormitory now.

Okay, I'll wait for you to come down.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Shishi on the other end was a little flustered, not expecting Lin Zheng to suddenly come looking for her.

About half an hour later, she was ready and came downstairs to see him.

A girl's preparation time before going out is directly proportional to her appearance.

Knowing exactly what Lin Zheng, this pervert, liked to look at, she changed into a pink short dress, with pure and seductive white stockings on her legs and a pair of silver-white diamond-encrusted five-centimeter high heels on her feet.

She asked her roommate to style her hair into a princess hairstyle, with her long, flowing hair cascading down her back, revealing her delicate collarbones and a large expanse of snow-white skin.

This outfit is absolutely stunning; even someone with average looks can look amazing in it.

Moreover, she already possessed the looks of the class beauty.

Then, with a touch of light red lipstick, she looks rosy and youthful, radiating the energy of a young girl.

As she walked out of the girls' gate, passing boys cast surprised glances at her, exclaiming to their companions, "Look at this beauty!"

When they met again, there was no melodramatic scene of the two rushing to each other from afar and embracing.

The two met with a slight smile, everything conveyed in their smiles.

Then, hand in hand, they strolled around the campus.

Zhou Shishi talked about her recent situation.

After arriving in Nancheng, her first task was to rent a house, buy some equipment, and hire three girls to do live streaming.

This thing has really low technological value.

Anyone can start this business as long as they have money and access to goods.

The salary for recruits is in line with the plan in Songyun City: a base salary of 10,000 yuan per person, plus commission on sales.

Soon the two left the school and went to the live streaming studio that Zhou Shishi had set up.

It's just a regular three-bedroom apartment, with a monthly rent of 2,400 yuan.

Accommodation provided, meals not included; high base salary plus commission.

The job seekers were attracted by it, and Zhou Shishi naturally kept the three most beautiful ones.

As the door opened, a tall, young woman in pajamas was pouring water from the water dispenser.

She looked towards the door in surprise, and upon seeing Zhou Shishi, she immediately greeted her respectfully as "Sister Zhou."

Hey~! Zhou Shishi, who is only eighteen years old, has become Sister Zhou. That's quite novel.

Upon seeing Lin Zheng, her expression, which had just relaxed, turned even more surprised.

"Yes, let me show the boss our live stream room. This is Lin Zheng, the biggest boss of our studio."

Zhou Shishi smiled and nodded, while introducing Lin Zheng next to her.

Lin Zheng nodded and greeted him.

Then, under Zhou Shishi's guidance, he met two other employees.

What should you say when your employees come to see you?

It's just empty promises, of course.

"You guys work hard. Our studio in Nancheng is just starting out, and you're already veteran employees! When the studio expands and we hire more people, you'll all be team leaders, each in charge of a work group. Your salaries and commissions will increase accordingly, right?"

Some employees readily accepted this pie-in-the-sky promise, nodding happily in agreement.

Some employees didn't eat, but forced a smile and agreed.

However, Lin Zheng added the three of them on WeChat and transferred 1,000 yuan to each of them as the first cup of milk tea of ​​autumn. This made the three of them extremely excited, and they all exclaimed that Brother Lin was very generous.

Even in some good companies, it's unlikely that a leader would give an employee that much money just by meeting them, right?

Therefore, their sense of belonging to their current small company has increased significantly.

Immediately after leaving the studio, the two found a bubble tea shop to sit down and discuss the company's future development plans.

The live-streaming sales of sex toys sector is currently doing well, but the entry barrier is too low.

Over the next two to three years, a large influx of people will continue to come in to compete for resources.

Those who used to eat meat now drink soup, and those who used to drink soup now live on air.

Those who were originally starving to death had to change careers.

Therefore, they must find ways to mitigate the risks of competition.

"How about we cancel the warehouse in Songyun City and sign an agreement directly with the manufacturers in Xingcheng? We could do something like live-streaming sales for them, right? What do you think?"

Zhou Shishi offered a developmental suggestion.

That means going all-in on live-streaming e-commerce and abandoning its own warehousing, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Zheng raised an objection: "Should we directly sell goods to manufacturers? I don't think that's a good idea. The reason why some traditional manufacturing industries have failed is essentially related to their failure to adapt."

The barrier to entry for live-streaming e-commerce is not high. After they've figured it out, why would they want us to sell their products?

Right?

We're not some big internet celebrities.

They realized that selling this through live streaming didn't require any internet celebrities at all; all they needed was a few pretty girls...

They'll definitely kick us aside and do it themselves.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shishi fell into deep thought and finally sighed helplessly.

Is such that.

She got the game and chose the identity of the reborn person too late.

What use is it to be reborn four years in the past?

In the next few years, things will only get more complicated.

With money, everything is easy.

In the era of the "King of Capital," capital is everything; any competitor who dares to challenge you can be crushed by capital.

Without money, you can't move an inch. Development and innovation have almost reached their limits; there's no good path left for innovation.

In other words, they can only make money for two or three years at most with this studio before it goes out of business.

Seemingly sensing Zhou Shishi's worries, Lin Zheng smiled gently, put his right arm around her waist, and shook her gently, saying something quite philosophical: "The winds of the times won't blow forever. For most industries, the time to make money is only a few years."

To prolong the period of profitability, one must develop and innovate one's thinking.

Actually, I already have a good idea.

"Oh? What idea?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shishi immediately inquired.

Lin Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "I have an immature idea."

As he spoke, his gaze gradually sharpened.

He has been growing and has never forgotten his original ideal.

Now, perhaps this ideal will become his greatest asset for continued development.

Zhou Shishi didn't speak, but gradually became surprised. She found that Lin Zheng seemed to be exuding an indescribable aura, which made her feel a bit more awe.

It's really quite baffling.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Zheng said, "I plan to open my own factory. All the profits from the factory will go to the employees. We will only earn the money generated from the factory."

"Hmm? Opening a factory?"

Zhou Shishi was a little confused. Why did they suddenly want to open a factory?

"Huh? It's not making money?"

She was even more astonished when she read the second half of the sentence.

Opening a factory that doesn't make money, oh well...

Lin Zheng smiled slightly and explained, "The profit margin in manufacturing is too low. Excellent products only have a profit margin of around 5%, and outdated industries such as textiles have a profit margin of only 1%."

With such a small profit margin, even if we can keep operating, we won't make much money.

However, if we distribute that profit to the workers, that would be a huge success.

For example, that sex toy factory in Xingcheng has an annual profit margin of 5% and can earn tens of millions of yuan a year.

If I remember correctly, they have fewer than 500 employees.

If this profit is given to the employees, wouldn't each person earn at least 20,000 more per year?

With higher incomes, are they more dedicated? Are the quality of their goods higher? Does our competitiveness also increase accordingly?

Lin Zheng's series of words made Zhou Shishi nod repeatedly, but she still didn't understand.

Is it worth investing a lot of money to open a factory that doesn't make money, just for a live stream?

She raised her doubts, and Lin Zheng explained them again.

"Who says we only have live streaming as a source of income? I recently launched a dating and matchmaking platform for college students, where you can buy our products. We can also open offline experience stores. These are all ways to make money."

In an era of involution and economic downturn, the entertainment industry has become even more developed; our industry is essentially the entertainment industry.

We can use the products we manufacture to develop more derivative ways to make money.

So, Shishi, have you felt it?
