Confession of Rebirth

"Gu Chen, thank you." Zhou Xiaoting was silent for a long time, then smiled at Gu Chen and said, "I think, I know what I should do."

Gu Chen looked at Zhou Xiaoting's expression and said, "If you need my help, just ask."

"Yeah." Zhou Xiaoting looked at Gu Chen and smiled: "I won't be polite to you. We are friends."

"By the way, how are you doing recently?" Zhou Xiaoting asked Gu Chen: "I heard one by one that Gu Xiu has been recognized by the Ling family. He didn't bother you, did he?"

"It's not important." Gu Chen said.

"That's right." Zhou Xiaoting looked at Gu Chen with an unconcealable admiration in her expression: "You are so powerful, no matter what he wants to do, it won't affect you."

"If only I could be like you." Zhou Xiaoting said enviously.

"I believe you can." Gu Chen took a sip of coffee and said, "Because you are one of the best girls I have ever seen."

"Really?" Zhou Xiaoting's eyes lit up.After seeing clearly the unscrupulous methods of her father and brother, as well as her own helplessness, the little girl was actually very frightened in her heart.She never thought that her seemingly independent and free life was actually completely under the control of her father and brother.Just suspending her credit card and adding an application for suspension of school can make Zhou Xiaoting's world collapse in half.Zhou Xiaoting plucked up the courage to resist, but she didn't have any chips to shake the foundation of her father and brother.Especially after hearing Gu Chen's analysis just now, Zhou Xiaoting even felt a little desperate.

She didn't know what to do to get rid of her father and brother's control.The good life of the past 20 years seems to be just a mirage.Only when you get close to you can you see clearly that everything you own does not actually exist.She is like a marionette dressed up on the stage, she looks gorgeous and beautiful, but she doesn't know that her every move is under the control of others.

No one can understand what it feels like when everything you are proud of is smashed.Zhou Xiaoting knew that her persistence was faltering.She even suspected that she was a worthless vase.However, after hearing Gu Chen's affirmation, this doubt gradually dissipated.

"You really think I'm good?"

"Huh?" Gu Chen nodded.He wasn't lying.Zhou Xiaoting is indeed one of the few plot characters he has seen who can stick to his own point of view.

"Then do you think I can get rid of the control of my father and my elder brother and support myself?" Zhou Xiaoting looked at Gu Chen with trusting expression.

"That depends on how far you can go." Gu Chen said, "But I believe that as long as you persevere, you will be able to live the life you want."

"I want to start a business!" Zhou Xiaoting said: "I want to create my own business, comparable to that of Dazhou Group. I want my father and my elder brother to know that even if I am the daughter of the Zhou family, my value is not only in marriage."

"Then you have to work hard." Gu Chen gave Zhou Xiaoting an idea: "But you have no foundation at all now. I don't think you are suitable for starting a business."

Zhou Xiaoting frowned: "You mean, I should first go to another company to gain experience. After I have rich experience, I will start my own company?"

Gu Chen said: "I mean, you should think about how you will live after your dad freezes your secondary card. How will you earn your living expenses and tuition fees? Do you need me to lend you?"

Zhou Xiaoting was stunned for a moment.

Gu Chen was a little funny: "Why are you standing there? You haven't thought about this yet, have you?"

Zhou Xiaoting really didn't think about it.She thought about how she would behave in the group after returning to China, how she would win over the shareholders of the group, and how she would compete with her father and brother for power.I just didn't think about this kind of thing.

"I can be a tutor for students." Zhou Xiaoting reacted: "My grades are still good. And I also have contacts."

"That's the Zhou family's connections." Gu Chen corrected: "If your father and your eldest brother call those people to prevent them from hiring you as a tutor, who do you think they will listen to?"

Zhou Xiaoting was splashed with cold water again.

Gu Chen vaccinated the innocent little girl: "From now on, you have to be prepared. Everyone you knew in the past, and all the relationships you made, may cease to exist under the influence of your father and brother, or even turn around. Deliberately targeting you. When you go to find a job, your father and brother may use the influence of the Dazhou Group to force your boss to fire you. In the most difficult time, you may not even be able to eat. Don’t talk about starting a business, your own life is very difficult. It may be messed up by your father and brother."

They will use all means to make this little girl understand that she is useless without the protection of the Zhou family.He will do everything possible to break the back of the little girl who wants to resist, and make her obediently accept her fate and be obedient.

"Of course this is the worst situation. Things may not develop to this point. But since you decide to resist, you must be mentally prepared for this." If you can't do it, don't bother.Gu Chen didn't want the incident to end. This innocent and kind little girl was tortured beyond recognition. After suffering all the cruel persecution, she still had to compromise her own destiny.

"Not all phoenixes have the power to be reborn from nirvana." Gu Chen looked at Zhou Xiaoting and said lightly, "In the eyes of many people, you are already a phoenix. Even if you don't resist, your future will be bright."

It's just that the kind of rich and noble life is probably like drinking water, knowing whether it's warm or not.

Zhou Xiaoting blinked her eyes and looked at Gu Chen thoughtfully.

Gu Chen didn't intend to say anything more.He glanced at the time and drank the last sip of coffee: "It's getting late. I'm going back to school first. You also go to bed early."

Gu Chen got up and left the coffee shop.

In early summer in May, the evening breeze is quite cool.When the lights came on, Gu Chen walked slowly along the pedestrian street all the way back to school.It is rare to have such a quiet time.

It has been more than half a year since Gu Chong was born.For the past half a year, Gu Chen was either busy with his studies, or starting a business, or fighting against the plot.I have been immersed in doing things, and I seldom have the time and mood to feel everything I have encountered.

Looking back now, Gu Chen realized that the plots he had experienced in his previous life had long since been impacted by the reality of going astray.

Gu Chen didn't know if he had completely escaped the restrictions of the plot.But now, at least he has the confidence to continue to fight against the halo of the plot.

"It's a little hypocritical!" Gu Chen looked up at the cold moon and smiled self-deprecatingly.Before he had time to feel his sudden sentimentality, he was interrupted by the sudden ringtone of his mobile phone.

"...What, you want to sell crab sauce on the stall website?" Gu Chen listened to Cheng Yi's phone call, and was confused for a while: "Why did the sauce sell to the stall website? They didn't make a mistake, did they?"

"It's not wrong. I asked the customer service to confirm again and again. It is indeed to sell their crab sauce on our online stall." Cheng Yi was also a little bit dumbfounded: "I didn't want to talk to them at first. But the price they gave is really favorable. And they I also said that there is no need to display pop-up advertisements in the exchange area, as long as you set up a stall in the second-hand trading area. All sales processes are also willing to abide by the weight recommendation rules of the second-hand trading area. No need for us to make additional recommendations.”

"I don't want anything, I just want a booth in the second-hand trading area?" Gu Chen didn't understand: "Then they just go to a certain treasure website to open a store?"

"That's what I said too. But they said that the customer base of a certain treasure.com is uneven, which does not meet the consumer audience of their crab sauce. It is useless to open a store on a certain treasure.com. They will look for us to set up a stall network When Cheng Yi said this, he couldn't help feeling a little complacent: "They said that this crab yellow sauce can only be sold to college students, and there are also some petty bourgeois white-collar workers who have a financial foundation and are willing to satisfy their appetites. At present, we are the only ones who set up a stall network Registered users are in line with this."

That's right.Speaking of the current social platforms across the country, it is estimated that only stall.com can guarantee the educational threshold.

Gu Chen thought for a while, then asked again: "What conditions did they offer, are you so reluctant?"

"Ten percent sales commission. And if we are willing to promote their booth, they will pay an additional promotion fee." Cheng Yi said: "If we are willing to recommend a spot on the homepage, they are willing to pay every month A promotional fee of 10 yuan."

10 yuan per month?It is indeed not a small amount.Gu Chen reckoned that the other party dared to spend such a large amount of money because they were very confident in their products.Could it be that they are thinking that as long as one month's recommendation exposure, they can attract website users, and then rely on the weight of customer reviews to stay on the homepage?

On the other end of the phone, Cheng Yi continued: "That's what I think. If this transaction can be completed, then can we follow the example of the gourd and use the same method to discuss cooperation with other merchants. When the time comes, the second-hand transaction The division is divided into two parts, one part continues to be used for second-hand transactions, and the other part is given to merchants. In this way, we can also find the profit model of the stall network.”

Ever since Gu Chen bought a follower advertisement on Weibo, the exposure of stall.com has also greatly increased along with Gu Chen's search volume.The number of registrations has increased in a blowout manner.The daily maintenance fee is like swallowing gold, and it is almost a bottomless pit.Cheng Yi was really worried for Gu Chen, and wanted to help Gu Chen find a profit model for the stall network as soon as possible.

"You don't want to advertise in the communication area. The takeaway area is also recommended according to the weight of customer reviews, and the fees charged by the merchants are not enough to maintain the operation of the website. During the holidays, there are also discounts for group buying and order-free promotions. Website users give benefits. If this continues, I'm really worried that your website will go bankrupt." Cheng Yi thought.

Gu Chen thought for a while, and felt that if some merchants were reliable, it would not be impossible to cooperate with some niche boutique word-of-mouth cooperation: "Have you asked them to meet?"

"...I just want our website to make some money as soon as possible...huh?" Cheng Yi didn't expect Gu Chen to agree so much, and he couldn't accept it for a while: "What did you say?"

"I said we can meet and have a chat to see what's different about their crab sauce, and they still have to sell it online at a stall." Gu Chen said with a smile: "If the quality is good and the taste is good, it's okay to cooperate." Not impossible."

"I'll contact that merchant right away." Cheng Yi said immediately, "Hang up first."

Before Gu Chen could speak, Cheng Yi hung up the phone with a "bar".About ten minutes later, Cheng Yi called again: "They said they can meet. We can meet tonight. The place is at the coffee shop opposite the school."

Gu Chen, who had already walked to the school gate, turned his head and glanced at the opposite side, and said with a smile, "I'm right here now."

"Then I'll come over right away." Cheng Yi didn't seem to realize that he was just a "technical director", and immediately said, "Wait for me."

Five minutes later, Cheng Yi ran to the school gate panting, and said to Gu Chen, "They said they would arrive in half an hour. Shall we go and wait first?"

"No need." Gu Chen smiled.Talking about business is not like this: "Accompany me to the bookstore."

"Ah?" Cheng Yi didn't understand: "Go to the bookstore now?"

"En." Gu Chen responded, and Cheng Yi turned around and entered a bookstore next to the school.

Because he often came here to buy books, the owner of the bookstore also recognized Gu Chen, a man of great A.He smiled and said hello, and said, "The best selling bookstore now, except for a few sets of tutorial books, is your CPA mind map. When will you release a new book?"

Gu Chen has no time to publish a new book.All he has to do is buy books.Handing the book list listed by Professor Xing to the bookstore owner, the bookstore owner took the book list and was stunned inwardly: "Do you want the original text for most of these tomes?"

"There are still a few translations, and I have written them all. Some books are not very easy to buy, so please trouble you." Gu Chen said with a smile.

"Don't bother, don't bother, this is what I do! But Mr. Xing is cruel enough to you as a student. There are many books here, which are usually only read by students who are PhD students in your school." The bookstore owner shook his head, Face sighed: "It's really hard for you."

Gu Chen smiled and said nothing.

Cheng Yi felt a headache looking at the titles on the book list.I ran to the side to flip through programming books.After thinking about it, he ran back and asked the bookstore owner: "...I want to order a few magazines, can the boss order them for me?"

Cheng Yi reported the names of several magazines, but the bookstore owner hadn't even heard of them.Suddenly shook his head: "There is no channel."

Cheng Yi was slightly disappointed.Gu Chen said: "You write your name back to me. I have a friend who is studying at an Ivy League university in country M, and I will ask him to help you figure out a way."

"That's fine." Cheng Yi nodded: "They are all internal publications. I have only heard of them, but never seen them."

Gu Chen immediately said: "Then don't expect too much."

Cheng Yi did not report much hope.The two spent a while in the bookstore when Cheng Yi's cell phone rang.Cheng Yi answered the phone and glanced at Gu Chen.Gu Chen was flipping through the book.Seeing this, Cheng Yi ran outside the bookstore and said, "Wait a minute, our boss is reading a book. We'll go over after finishing the book."

While talking, Gu Chen also came out from the bookstore.Patted Cheng Yi's shoulder: "Let's go."

The two entered the coffee shop opposite the school.Manufacturers have arrived.They are two middle-aged men in their 30s, one is thin and tall, the other is short and fat with smiles on their faces, and they look particularly happy.

"You are Mr. Gu! Hello, hello, I have known you for a long time. My name is Pang Feng. This is my younger brother, Pang Sheng." After seeing Gu Chen, the short and fat middle-aged man immediately stood up and held Gu Chen in his arms. Shen shook his hand and boasted fiercely: "You are much more handsome in real life than in the photos on the Internet and on TV. You are like a star."

Gu Chen smiled: "You're too much."

"No award. It's definitely from the heart." Pang Feng said, and shook hands with Cheng Yi again: "You are Mr. Cheng. Young and promising, young and promising."

It was the first time Cheng Yi was called Mr. Cheng face to face, and his expression was a little embarrassed.Seeing this, Pang Feng immediately became more enthusiastic.

Because we wanted to talk about things, we chose a box instead of sitting in the lobby.As soon as he ordered, Pang Feng couldn't wait to take out two bottles of crab paste from his bag and put them on the table: "This is our product."

Gu Chen took it over and took a look, the small bottle was quite delicately packaged.A bottle of 120g.

Pang Feng introduced: "The crab sauce in our family uses hairy crabs from Yangcheng Lake. The ingredients are absolutely authentic and the taste is particularly good. You two can try it first."

As he said that, without waiting for Gu Chen and Cheng Yi to react, he quickly unscrewed the two bottles of crab sauce on the table.Suddenly, a strong aroma of crab oil permeated the private room.Cheng Yi stretched out his head to take a look at the red crab sauce, and swallowed: "It's quite delicious."

"Of course. If it wasn't for the high quality materials, we wouldn't dare to set up a stall and recommend ourselves. We all know that college students have the worst tastes." Pang Feng said with a simple smile, "Try it first, both of you. Let's see if our products are good. As long as you like this, we can talk about the rest slowly."

Gu Chen was not polite either.A spoonful of crab paste was scooped up with the small silver spoon used to stir the coffee.Under the dim light, crab roe is reflected by the light into an oily layer, exuding a strong aroma.

Gu Chen took a sip, and in an instant, it seemed as if a pack of delicious crab oil exploded in his mouth, and the taste was still sticky like silky crab oil.Delicious and rich, really good.

"It's just a little salty." Gu Chen said, taking a sip of coffee to dilute the saltiness.

Pang Feng smiled: "To make crab paste, in order to preserve it longer, of course it should be salty."

Cheng Yi also took a bite.Immediately, his eyes lit up, and he was surprised: "It's delicious! If there is a bowl of rice, it will be invincible."

Pang Feng smiled and said: "Bibimbap, porridge, and noodles are all delicious. And the shelf life is quite long, it can be stored for three months."

Gu Chen asked, "How do you set the price?"

Pang Feng made a "nine" and said, "A bottle of 99."

Cheng Yi barely choked on his saliva: "Isn't this too expensive? Who do you want to blackmail!"

Pang Feng smiled and said: "We are Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs with a lot of ingredients. With this taste and ingredients, the price is not expensive. Do you know how much a Yangcheng Lake hairy crab costs?"

That's right.Cheng Yi blinked and couldn't help but said, "That's too expensive!"

Pang Feng knew that Cheng Yi couldn't make the decision, so he looked at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen asked slowly: "How many crabs do you need for this bottle of crab sauce?"

Pang Feng clenched his fists: "Ten crabs. I'm not lying at all. If you don't believe me, you can go to our factory to see our production process with your own eyes."

Gu Chen didn't mean to doubt the dosage, but was just curious about one thing: "How many hairy crabs can Yangcheng Lake produce every year?"

Pang Feng was stunned for a moment.

Pang Sheng, who was sitting next to him, was blushing, and managed to choke out a sentence: "It's not Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs. It's Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs."

Cheng Yi blinked his eyes in confusion.What's the meaning?

Pang Sheng explained: "Our family lives in Yangcheng Lake. We two brothers contracted two reservoirs."

Artificial breeding!Cheng Yi's eyes widened, and he looked at Pang Feng angrily: "You lied to me?"

"It's not a lie." Pang Feng touched his nose and said with a smirk, "It's indeed the hairy crabs from Yangcheng Lake. The water quality is similar, and it's all from the Yangtze River."

Cheng Yi couldn't hold back: "Isn't Yangcheng Lake a closed lake?"

Pang Feng blinked and laughed.

Gu Chen said: "99 a bottle is impossible. It's too expensive, even students can't afford it. 99 buy one get one free is about the same."

Gu Chen cut the price in half with one sentence, and Pang Feng frowned: "This is a loss of money."

"Whether you will pay or not, you know." Gu Chen was too lazy to talk nonsense with Pang Feng: "I also gave you a chance because the ingredients of your crab sauce are good. But we college students are not being taken advantage of. If the price of this product is too high , Even if it is a college student, it is impossible to buy it."

Pang Feng was frowning.

Gu Chen continued: "You also know that this kind of crab sauce has insufficient ingredients and poor taste, so it is not competitive at all. If the ingredients are sufficient, the cost is high. For the price of a bottle of sauce, you can go to a small restaurant to eat a meal with four dishes and one soup. Ordinary salaried consumers will definitely not buy it. Only students who are not very sensitive to prices can buy it. However, students have no financial means and rely on their parents to pay for living expenses every month. The main registered users of our stall network They are all students, and I am a student myself. Of course, I will stand on the standpoint of students and fully consider the interests and consumption levels of students. If you sell us 100 yuan for a bottle of sauce, I will not agree."

Pang Feng didn't speak.

Gu Chen said again: "According to the current quality, if you buy one and get one free for 99, you will definitely earn something. If you disagree, forget it."

As Gu Chen said, he was about to get up.

Seeing this, Pang Feng immediately said, "Wait!"

Pang Feng stood up and hurriedly comforted Gu Chen: "Don't leave in a hurry. Talk about something, talk about something."

Gu Chen sat down again: "I hope Boss Pang understands that I have the initiative in this transaction. My bottom line is that you can make money from students. But you can't take us students as a fool."

The original intention of Gu Chen to set up the stall network was to accumulate fame and fight against the halo of the plot.Therefore, his demand for the stall network is to solve the troubles that the students want to solve to the maximum extent, and fully guarantee his reputation and image in the minds of most people.Making money is secondary.

Seeing Gu Chen's attitude, Pang Feng immediately understood.Although he still laughed at Gu Chen's bookishness in his heart, he felt that Gu Chen really didn't need to take the students' interests so seriously.

Pang Feng thought about it, but was still a little unwilling.He made a "two" with his right hand, and said, "99 a bottle, I will split the bill with the website at [-]. We earn [-], and the website raises [-]."

This is doubled.That is to say, 99 bottles of crab paste.Every time the Pang brothers sell a bottle, the stall net can make a net profit of 20 yuan.This is directly doubled.

In fact, Pang Feng's psychological bottom line is 30.00 points.As long as the stall network agrees, the Pang brothers can give up [-]% of the profits.As long as he uses the stall network to open up sales, Pang Feng will not worry about not being able to sell his crab sauce.At that time, it will be a big deal to cross the river and demolish the bridge.Just like what Gu Chen said, no matter how high-quality the registered users of the stall.com are, the audience is no match for a certain treasure.com.The quality and quantity of the Pang brothers' crab sauce is guaranteed. As long as there is a basic consumer group, even if the product is sold on another platform, people will still buy it.

The Pang family brothers can also reduce the price by 20.00%, saying that the commission for setting up a stall is too high, and the Pang family brothers cannot afford it.Change the platform and transfer the 20.00% profit to consumers.It is also named and profitable, and the big deal is a little less in terms of materials and materials.Presumably consumers will not say anything.

20.00% commission!Cheng Yi's heart skipped a beat.Turning to look at Gu Chen.Pang Feng also looked at Gu Chen expectantly.He believes that a college student who has not left school should not refuse such sincerity and interest.

However, no matter how good Pang Feng's calculations were, Gu Chen didn't buy it: "99 buy one get one free, 10% commission. If you agree, first mix a hundred bottles of crab paste of the same quality and send it to the cafeteria A. Let Students eat for free. I will give you free promotion for three days on the stall online. If students are interested, they can place an order on the stall online. You need to pay a stall deposit of [-] yuan. If you sell crab paste If the taste does not match this batch of ingredients, the website will deduct the corresponding deposit from your store to compensate consumers on the grounds of deceiving consumers."

Gu Chen looked at Pang Feng: "If Boss Pang is willing to cooperate, he can deliver the crab sauce to the cafeteria tomorrow. The stall network will randomly select samples and send them to relevant departments for inspection."

"We clearly marked the price, equal and voluntary."
