Chapter 515 A Lucky Break
When publishers publish teaching materials, they can select "paid transfer" or "free gift," and the system will automatically distribute the materials based on the tags.
The books offered as gifts appear on a separate page. Those who are interested can filter by their criteria, and the two parties will be matched on the platform and then arrange a time to meet in person for the handover.
Throughout the entire process, the platform does not touch the books, does not set up warehouses, and does not assume responsibility for safekeeping; it only acts as an information matching platform.
Song Mingxuan picked up a pen and drew a few lines on the paper, breaking down and deduce the transaction process step by step.
From publishing, matching, contacting, and handing over to final confirmation, are there any loopholes in the connection between each step?
"If the person donating the book sets conditions for receiving it, can the system automatically filter and match recipients?"
Song Mingxuan looked up at Su Qinghe, "For example, if someone wants to leave the textbooks for junior students in the same major, then if someone who does not meet the requirements clicks in, the system will prompt that they do not meet the requirements to receive them."
Su Qinghe nodded: "Yes, add a condition setting entry when publishing, so that the book giver can fill it in themselves."
"Then this entry point needs to be made interactive, otherwise if users fill in a bunch of random things, the backend simply won't be able to match them."
Lu Ziang started typing on the keyboard, taking notes on the page requirements: "The release page needs to have a gift switch. When turned on, a condition settings box will pop up, with optional conditions including major, grade, and gender. Also, add a custom input box."
"Don't make the custom input boxes mandatory, otherwise some people will find it too troublesome and won't send them," Xu Wenbin interjected.
"Okay, then make it optional." Lu Zi'ang typed this line in his memo.
Song Mingxuan pushed the flowchart on the paper to Jiang Che: "If the first version only retains the four functions of publishing, searching, contacting, and gifting, and completely cuts out payment and delivery, and the two parties verify the books in person on campus, then the risk of the trial run will be reduced."
"Even if something goes wrong, at most it's just that the two people didn't meet because they agreed to meet, and it won't lead to any financial disputes."
Jiang Che took the paper, glanced at it, and looked up at Su Qinghe: "What do you think?"
Su Qinghe thought about it carefully and said, "I think we can give it a try first."
"Although it's a bit troublesome to hand over the work in person, we're all from the same school, so we can arrange to meet at the cafeteria or library entrance, which is just a few steps away."
"Moreover, face-to-face book inspection allows buyers to check the pages on the spot for missing pages or scribbling, and sellers don't have to worry about the buyer finding fault after receiving the goods."
"This is a good time." Jiang Che nodded, put the paper back on the coffee table, "Inspect the documents in person, and the money and goods will be settled. There will only be a confirmation button on the platform. Once both parties click to confirm, the transaction is complete."
"What if someone sends a book, but the recipient doesn't confirm receipt?" Xu Wenbin raised his hand to ask.
"Automatic confirmation upon timeout, seven days, just like on Xianyu and Taobao."
"Okay, then write this down too."
"Then it's settled." Jiang Che clapped his hands. "The first version will only have four functions: publishing, searching, contacting, and gifting tags. It won't handle payment or delivery, and both parties will verify the documents in person."
"Old Song, polish the plan again in the next couple of days. Old Lu, you build the page framework first. Old Xu, think about how to attract people."
"Why isn't it specific when it comes to me?" Xu Wenbin glared.
"Because your greatest strength is dealing with people, isn't it?" Jiang Che smiled. "Once the platform has a basic structure, you can use it to attract people. For now, think about how to write the promotional copy."
Xu Wenbin scratched his head, turned the computer screen towards himself, opened a blank document, and began staring blankly at the cursor.
Lin tide had told him that he should think clearly about what he wanted to express before writing, but his mind was full of words like "second-hand textbooks," "buying books at low prices," and "giving them to junior students," and he couldn't put them together into a decent sentence no matter how hard he tried.
He tried typing a few words, then deleted them, then typed again, then deleted again.
He pounded away on the keyboard, but the document only contained a single, lonely title.
Song Mingxuan glanced at his screen and kindly reminded him, "Don't overthink it, just write the simplest sentence."
"The most straightforward..."
Xu Wenbin bit his lip and thought for a moment before typing five words: "Buy textbooks cheaply."
Song Mingxuan glanced at it, hesitated, and finally chose to remain silent.
Just then, Xiaoman, who had been lying at Su Qinghe's feet, suddenly stood up, stretched, reached forward with its front paws, kicked twice with its hind legs, and then leaped up and landed steadily on the coffee table.
Xu Wenbin was staring at the screen, completely unaware that a furry thing was walking towards his computer.
Xiaoman shuffled around Song Mingxuan's water glass, its tail tip brushing the edge of Lu Ziang's laptop before it stepped on Xu Wenbin's keyboard with one paw.
The line "Buy textbooks cheaply" on the screen immediately disappeared by half, becoming "Buy cheaply," and the rest of the text was swallowed up by Xiaoman's paw pressing the delete key.
"Hey hey hey!"
Xu Wenbin frantically tried to save her, but Xiaoman showed him no mercy, stepping on her with her other front paw and deleting two more words with a snap.
"Xiaoman!" Su Qinghe quickly reached out and scooped the cat back, holding it in her arms and scolding it softly, "Don't cause trouble, the uncles are working."
Xiaoman looked up at her, meowed, and didn't think she had done anything wrong at all. She even rubbed her head against Su Qinghe's arm.
Xu Wenbin looked down at the screen with a long face and found that the title he had painstakingly typed out was reduced to just three words - "Buy Cheap".
"I finally managed to squeeze this out..." Xu Wenbin was about to wail again when Jiang Che suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm.
"etc."
The remaining text on the screen was a mess from Xiaoman's stomping, but one line of the title that hadn't been completely deleted caught Jiang Che's attention.
That was a rough draft that Xu Wenbin had scribbled down before. Most of it had been deleted, leaving only the last half-sentence—"Let the old book find its next owner."
Jiang Che stared at the line of text for two seconds and read it aloud.
"Let old books find their next owner."
"This is much better than 'buying textbooks cheaply'," Jiang Che patted Xu Wenbin on the shoulder. "Let's use this."
Xu Wenbin paused for a moment, then looked down at the line of text again, a slow smile spreading across his face: "Really? I just typed it randomly."
"It's because you typed it casually that it looks natural," Jiang Che said. "Think about it, what's the core of our platform? It's not about being cheap, it's about connecting people who need books that you don't need."
"Cheapness is just the result; this is the starting point."
Song Mingxuan nodded: "Indeed, this slogan is more fitting than any I had in mind."
"The idea of 'finding a new owner for old books' sounds heartwarming, but it doesn't feel like a hollow, empty public service announcement."
Xu Wenbin was a little embarrassed by the praise. He chuckled twice and quickly copied the sentence into a document to save it, afraid that Xiaoman would delete it again.
Xiao Man was completely unaware that she had done a great service. She was nestled in Su Qinghe's arms, licking her paws. After licking her left paw, she licked her right paw, licking them very earnestly.
Jiang Che reached out and rubbed its head, then looked at everyone: "Then it's settled. We'll use this sentence for the promotional headline."
"Tomorrow is Sunday, so let's not try to attract users yet. Let's get a batch of books first and enrich the content of the platform."
"You're making the books yourself?" Xu Wenbin asked. "How?"
