Chapter 467 Little Red Book (Please Vote for Me!!!)

As soon as Wang Manni finished speaking, the conference room became lively.

"Didn't it say that you need at least two years of luxury sales experience to advance to the second round of interviews?"

"I guess because the salary is high, I want to try my luck. This business is not that easy."

Wang Manni's face turned red. She wanted to refute, but because she was in the middle of an interview, she could only silently endure the critical looks of everyone.

Qin Hao knocked on the table: "Next one."

Only then did everyone turn their attention away from Wang Manni, who cast a grateful look at Qin Hao.

However, Qin Hao seemed not to notice and ignored Wang Manni, which made Wang Manni a little depressed.

After everyone had introduced themselves, it was time for questions. Qin Hao asked some sales-oriented questions, such as how to get customers to buy a product that exceeded her expectations. Everyone was like the eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers. But Wang Manni hesitated and couldn't answer.

Half an hour later, Qin Hao put down everyone's resumes, which already had their evaluations, which would also determine whether they could get the job.

"Today's interview ends here. Everyone has worked hard. Go back and rest first. The company will notify you of the final result within three days."

Everyone dispersed, except Wang Manni who never left.

Ricardo also specifically reminded her that the interview was over.

Wang Manni pleaded: "Two interviewers, I know that I have no luxury sales experience, and my current ability may not meet your company's standards, but I learn things quickly. Please give me a chance. I Certainly possible"

Qin Hao suddenly felt compassion when he looked at Wang Manni, who was begging for a job opportunity.

"You are not suitable for this job, and I personally think that you are also not suitable for sales positions. Sales is not just about being beautiful. If you can sell products with your face, then you Sales is too easy to think about.”

After saying that, Qin Hao stood up and left the conference room.

In Qin Hao's view, the reason why Wang Manni has such distorted values ​​is largely due to her position in luxury goods sales, which gave her the opportunity to interact with rich people, and she watched others give her several bucks with just one package. A month's salary, after a long time, anyone's heart will be distorted.

If Wang Manni was engaged in an ordinary job, there is a high probability that she would not end up in the situation she ended up in later.

However, Wang Manni was already in tears at this time, but she quickly wiped away her tears and looked at the direction Qin Hao was leaving and secretly swore that she must become the best seller of luxury goods!

After coming out of the store, Wang Manni stood outside the luxuriously decorated display window with a look of yearning in her eyes.

Dragging her tired body, Wang Manni returned to the rental house. Her boyfriend Jiang Chen knew from the look on her face that she would probably fail in today's interview, so he reached out to take her satchel, helped her sit down on the bed, and picked her up again. "Come on hot water," he said comfortingly.

"It's okay. It's just a job. What's the big deal? If it doesn't work, you can go back to the cafe."

However, before Jiang Chen finished speaking, Wang Manni yelled impatiently.

"I said, I won't work in a dead-end job like a cafe waiter anymore. Look at you, your monthly salary is more than 3,000 yuan, and the two of us together are less than 7,000 yuan. We just If we can live in such an old and small house, do we have to live in a place like this for the rest of our lives? Can you make a difference?"

Jiang Chen was overwhelmed by Wang Manni's sudden outburst.

Wang Manni started to cry: "Do you know what the interviewer said about me today? He said that I was not suitable for the sales position and that I only had a beautiful face. Why did he say that to me? I must prove it to him Look, there’s nothing I, Wang Manni, can’t do!”

"Okay, Manny, I believe you can do it. Stop crying. Are you hungry? I'll cook for you." Jiang Chen comforted her hurriedly.

Qin Hao didn't know that his actions actually aroused Wang Manni's competitive spirit, but even if he knew it, he wouldn't care. It's hard to persuade him with words, and he would only show compassion to Wang Manni. Move once.

Qin Hao was very busy for a long time. He had to manage the company and promote it at the same time.

The concept of affordable luxury has not yet been formed in 2013. It is not an easy task to instill the concept of affordable luxury into consumers.

The fastest and most effective way is to spend money on promotion, but this method is not suitable for Qin Hao, because he does not have that much spare money to squander. So far, one-third of the 80 million start-up capital has been spent, and the remaining Every penny of money is precious.

At the beginning, Qin Hao planned to bring goods through some big Vs on Weibo to raise the reputation of "Mainasi" first. However, the business atmosphere on Weibo was already very strong at this time, and those big Vs with millions of fans would charge a fee. It’s expensive, and many of them are based on whitewash and data manipulation, so the input is not directly proportional to the output.

"Hey, isn't Xiaohongshu online yet?" Qin Hao searched for Xiaohongshu on Baidu, but found that the web pages that popped up were all irrelevant information.

There is no doubt that Xiaohongshu is currently the most suitable platform for "Mainasi" brand promotion. When it comes to stimulating female consumerism, there is really no platform in China that has made a greater contribution than Xiaohongshu.

Taking a look at the calendar, Qin Hao recalled it carefully. Xiaohongshu seemed to have been established in June 2013, which was still half a month away.

According to some media reports, when the two founders of Xiaohongshu, Mao Wenchao and Qu Fang, started their business, they were short of money and could not afford to rent a decent office building. They could only work in a private house on Wutong Avenue in Shanghai. After thinking for a moment, Qin Hao decided to try his luck first.

Since he didn't know the specific office location of Xiaohongshu, Qin Hao came to Wutong Avenue, observed it, walked straight to the only cafe on the street, chose a place by the window, and waited.

For several days, they found nothing, but they helped the cafe attract a lot of female customers. The manager of the cafe took the initiative to reserve a seat for Qin Hao every day, and also thoughtfully provided free coffee and refreshments.

Finally, after three consecutive days of squatting, Qin Hao finally discovered the target person. Coincidentally, Mao Wenchao and Qu Fang also entered the cafe with laptops in their hands.

"Boy, can I sit here?"

After Mao Wenchao and Qu Fang sat down, Qin Hao walked directly in front of them.

Mao Wenchao frowned slightly. Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was obvious.

"Of course, handsome men always get preferential treatment, please take a seat." Qu Fang looked at Qin Hao for a while, then smiled and said, and specially sat inside.

"Thank you, beautiful women are always easy to make people like." Qin Hao bowed and sat down as a gentleman.

"I forgot to introduce myself, Qin Hao, I just came to Shanghai from Xiangjiang. This is my business card."

Mao Wenchao and Qu Fang were both stunned after taking Qin Hao's business card.

"I wonder what Mr. Qin calls Chairman Qin Yi of the Qin Group?"

"It's my father."

"It turns out to be Mr. Qin, disrespectful and disrespectful."

"No, no, just call me by my name, otherwise people who don't know will think we are filming."

Mao Wenchao and Qu Fang saw that Qin Hao did not have the arrogance of those second-generation ancestors, and their views on him changed a lot.

"Mr. Qin Qin, are you here for tourism or..." Qu Fang asked curiously.

Qin Hao said seriously: "Start a business."

"oh?"

Qu Fang and Mao Wenchao were obviously stunned for a moment.

Qin Hao said calmly: "To tell you the truth, my mother died of illness when I was very young. Later, my father remarried, and soon I got a younger brother. The troubles in Xiangjiang were quite unpleasant these years, so I simply left. , try it out on your own.”

Seeing Qin Hao reporting his family status so frankly, Qu Fang and Mao Wenchao couldn't help but feel a little more favorable towards him.

Later, Qin Hao took out the business card of "Mainasi" and handed it to the two of them, while explaining his entrepreneurial concept to them.

They are also entrepreneurs, and the relationship between the three of them has improved to a new level.

And through a simple conversation, Mao Wenchao and Qu Fang discovered that Qin Hao was not the kind of second-generation ancestor with high ambitions and low abilities. Every step of the entrepreneurial process was very orderly.

"The concept of light luxury is indeed in line with the current market trend. To be honest with Mr. Qin, Mao Wenchao and I are currently working on an Internet product. Well, how should I put it, it is similar to Dianping abroad." Qu Fang obviously said to Qin Hao I am very interested in the concept of light luxury.

Qin Hao smiled to himself, finally getting to the point, so he pretended to be curious and asked.

"Oh? This is a good direction. Nowadays, many middle class people are no longer satisfied with domestic consumption. If there is a platform with information about foreign food, drink and entertainment, it will definitely get a lot of traffic. Even if you don't have money to travel abroad, There should be many users who are willing to experience foreign customs, increase their knowledge and gain social currency."

When Mao Wenchao and Qu Fang heard what Qin Hao said, their eyes lit up, as if they had met a close friend.

"I didn't expect Mr. Qin to have such a deep understanding of the Internet."

After an in-depth conversation, Mao Wenchao took the initiative to add WeChat friends to Qin Hao, and Qu Fang also applied for friend verification.

Later, Qin Hao took the initiative to mention the difficulties encountered in starting a business, and immediately hit the pain points of Mao Wenchao and Qu Fang, and started a "patient exchange".

Until Mao Wenchao sighed and mentioned the shortage of entrepreneurial funds, "Little Red Book" was likely to end without any problem.

Qin Hao took action.

"If it's just a funding issue, I can help you two solve it."

Mao Wenchao and Qu Fang looked at each other and were a little surprised. After all, Qin Hao was just an entrepreneur. He suddenly said that he wanted to invest in them. This change in status was really big.

Seeing that the two of them were suspicious, Qin Hao smiled faintly: "To tell you the truth, this time I came from Xiangjiang to Shanghai to start a business, my dad still gave me a lot of start-up capital. I am very optimistic about your project and will invest in it in the early stage. Ten million yuan is still no problem.”

Only then did Mao Wenchao and Qu Fang remember that Qin Hao had another identity, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in their hearts. The second generation of rich people felt happy. Not only did their family have the backing to start a business, but they also took out 10 million casually, unlike them. I beg my grandpa to tell my grandma to go and attract investment.

"Mr. Qin, are you sure you are not joking?" Qu Fang asked cautiously.

Qin Hao said seriously: "If you two don't believe it, you can sign the contract now."

Hearing Qin Hao's words, Mao Wenchao and Qu Fang looked at each other and pondered for a moment, and then said seriously.

"Mr. Qin, this matter is a bit too sudden. Please allow us to go back and discuss it before giving you an answer."

Qin Hao smiled and nodded: "No problem."

Before leaving, Qin Hao added: "By the way, my first store in Magic City will open at the end of this month, and it needs to be promoted. Regardless of whether the investment is successful or not, I still need two people for this business order. Don’t refuse your seat.”

"That's a big thank you to Mr. Qin. We will definitely take Xiaohongshu's first business order seriously." Mao Wenchao said gratefully.

"Okay, then I'll go back and wait for the good news from you two."

"Mr. Qin, walk slowly."

After Qin Hao left, Qu Fang said to Mao Wenchao: "How much do you think he can believe it?"

"It's hard to say about the investment, but the business orders should not be fake. Otherwise, we will wait until we finish the online testing of Xiaohongshu in the past few days and then go to his store to have a look. Anyway, with the profit model, we It will be much easier to attract investment in the future." Mao Wenchao analyzed calmly.

"Yeah, that makes sense."

A week later, Mao Wenchao and Qu Fang arrived at the "Mainasi" store. At this time, the store decoration had been completed and the clerk was busy placing goods.

Mao Wenchao whispered: "The scale of this store is not small."

"Well, it's basically designed after top luxury stores like LV. Mr. Qin seems to be young and ambitious." Qu Fang nodded.

When the two walked into the store, a female salesperson thought they were customers and hurriedly greeted them.

"I'm sorry, you two, our store is not officially open yet. If you have any shopping needs, I can help you introduce it."

When Mao Wenchao was about to speak, Qu Fang winked at him, and then said to the saleswoman: "Then help me choose some formal clothes."

"Okay, please follow me." The saleswoman led the two of them to the women's clothing area of ​​the store.

"What is the name of this lady?"

"The surname is Qu."

"Ms. Qu, this off-white dress is very suitable for a professional elite with a good figure and good temperament like you."

Qu Fang said calmly: "I took a look at your prices. They are not cheap, but I have never heard of your brand. Is your price too high?"

"Ms. Qu is like this. The reason why we, 'Mainasi', are not very well-known in China is because we have just entered the mainland market. But in fact, we are an orthodox Italian fashion brand. Our products include all accessories. Designed by well-known Italian designers, look at the fashions in the window over there, they are all handmade." The female salesperson spared no effort to describe the brand culture.

Qu Fang and Mao Wenchao nodded secretly. At least in terms of products and sales, this store is no worse than those well-known luxury goods.
