You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

"This first layer represents the circulation of second-hand textbooks, which addresses the issue of basic needs."

Jiang Che then moved the pen tip and tapped the circle in the middle, "The second layer is the campus idle mutual aid module, which can include idle items other than textbooks, such as desk lamps, fans and other miscellaneous things. It can even be expanded to lost and found and pet adoption later."

As soon as he finished speaking, the pen tip moved outwards one more circle, landing on the outermost circle. "This third layer is public service, which directs the resources and users we've accumulated on the platform to public service projects in schools and surrounding communities."

Xu Wenbin leaned closer, his eyes widening in surprise: "Wow, pet adoption? That means we can help find homes for the stray cats on campus too?"

"Of course, but that's for the second phase. Right now, we can only work on the first layer."

"Why?" Xu Wenbin scratched his head, puzzled. "Since you've already thought it all out, why not add them all at once?"

Jiang Che did not answer Xu Wenbin's question directly, but instead gestured with his chin towards the area under the coffee table.

Xu Wenbin turned his head and saw Xiaoman lying at Su Qinghe's feet, its tail tip slowly sweeping the floor, occasionally raising its head to lick its front paws.

Then Jiang Che slowly asked, "What do you think Xiaoman has been eating every day since she came to my house?"

Xu Wenbin was taken aback for a moment: "Cat food."

"What kind of cat food?"

"How should I know? I didn't feed them."

Su Qinghe bent down and patted Xiaoman's head, then continued, "When we first adopted Xiaoman, we bought it imported food, but we found that it wouldn't eat it."

"Later we tried three different brands, and finally we found that it only ate the chicken flavor, and it had to be the small pieces. It would lick the large pieces a couple of times and then leave."

Xu Wenbin nodded as if he understood, but not quite. He understood that he knew Xiaoman was a picky eater, but he didn't understand why Jiang Che would bring it up out of the blue.

Jiang Che then revealed his true intentions: "Look, even the cat food a cat eats has so many rules. So what do you think users will think if a campus secondhand textbook trading platform piles up a whole bunch of features like textbooks, unwanted items, pets, and lost and found?"

Xu Wenbin remained silent.

"Users will open our mini-program, and the core purpose is just one thing: to sell or buy books."

"Forcing so many fancy features on the platform will actually squeeze out the space for showcasing the core functions, making it difficult for users to use and causing them to feel that the platform is hard to use and garbage."

"If we don't even understand the simplest needs, blindly expanding our operations will only make things worse."

Jiang Che picked up his teacup, took a sip, smiled, and said, "Xiaoman being picky about food will at most make her go hungry for one meal, but if users find our platform unusable, they won't come back after uninstalling it."

Jiang Che's words of enlightenment made everyone realize the truth as if they had been struck by lightning.

Song Mingxuan pushed up his glasses. "Old Jiang is right. We need to thoroughly understand the teaching materials first before considering horizontal expansion."

He paused, then picked up a pen and made some circles and dots on the paper in his hand. "But there's still a problem. If we include the charity donation module that my sister-in-law mentioned in our first version, the workload will probably double."

Su Qinghe was scratching Xiaoman's chin when she heard her name and paused.

Song Mingxuan flipped to the summary page of the questionnaire data and pointed to a line of numbers at the top: "I asked the users in the sample who were willing to donate old books, and the three questions they cared about most were: who did the books go to, whether the recipient actually used them, and whether they could get some form of feedback, such as points or a thank-you letter."

He flipped the paper over again, saying, "If we want to create a separate donation system, we need someone to be responsible for registering donations, managing inventory, verifying eligibility, and tracking usage feedback."

"With the first edition launching simultaneously for trading and donations, the five of us simply couldn't handle it all."

This is indeed a very difficult problem.

Jiang Che frowned as he pondered a solution. To be honest, he did have a solution: he could just spend money to hire someone to do it.

Jiang Sheng Group is such a big company. As the future boss, he can just wave his hand and summon a truckload of people to help him with his work.

But this was not the solution or outcome Jiang Che desired.

If that's really the case, then there's no need for him to participate in the Challenge Cup at all. He could just tell Jiang Sheng's development department about the idea and let them develop the program.

Moreover, in terms of subsequent launch, maintenance, and operation, Jiang Sheng's project team is far more capable than those five freshmen, right?

One reason he did this was the competition, but the more important reason was that he wanted to experience what it's like to be an entrepreneur.

If his startup fails, it will not affect his ability to take over the group later.

However, if he succeeds in starting a business, it will undoubtedly add a highlight to his resume.

And it's also a way to show off.

Therefore, Jiang Che tries his best to find solutions to problems without relying on family resources.

While Jiang Che was thinking, Su Qinghe was also thinking.

She looked down at Xiaoman, who was lying at her feet, and then at the document on the coffee table that Song Mingxuan had marked with several red circles.

A moment later, she reached out and took the materials, carefully flipping through them from beginning to end.

"Song Mingxuan, I'd like to ask the people in your survey who want to buy secondhand textbooks, what do they care about most?"

Song Mingxuan: "It should be the price and the version. I think 80% of people chose these two items."

"And what about the bookseller?"

"Book sellers, of course they care about the speed and convenience of the transaction. After all, no one wants to go through all that trouble for a used book."

Su Qinghe nodded, put the materials back on the coffee table, thought for a moment, and said, "I have an idea."

"We no longer need to build a separate warehouse to store donated textbooks. When the textbooks are published, the publishers can choose whether to 'transfer for a fee' or 'donate for free'."

Song Mingxuan frowned, about to speak, when Su Qinghe raised her hand to indicate that she hadn't finished speaking.

"The platform is only responsible for matching users and does not keep the books for users. Once someone chooses to donate, the system will push their books to someone who needs them. The other person will then contact them, and the two will arrange a time to exchange the books in person on campus."

"Whoever has the books is responsible for their safekeeping. We don't manage inventory or set up warehouses; we only facilitate information exchange."
