I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.

"...Anjia Home Services' value is far more than a traffic funnel in traditional channels. It is an ecological collaborative platform that can provide full-link value empowerment, including user insights, precise reach, scenario conversion, data feedback, and product co-creation! We are reconstructing the family consumption portal with services, driving product definition with data, and realizing value monetization with scenarios, creating a business operation system of service-product-data."

"We look forward to joining hands with more leading manufacturers to jointly explore the incremental blue ocean of the smart home economy. Through data collaboration, scenario co-creation, and model symbiosis, we aim to create a second growth curve for the industry and share the dual-driven value of trust economy and data dividends."

"To define Anjia Home Services in one sentence: We are not a home services company that sells services, but a new infrastructure operator that restructures the family consumption decision-making process through services!"

"On the road to smart homes, what Anjia Home Services aims to do is not to grab a share of the market, but to redefine the dining table!"

"Thanks."

After Shen Kang finished speaking, he bowed to the audience.

Everyone present was stunned by Shen Kang's last cryptic remark and remained in a daze, resulting in a moment of silence.

A lone ovation broke out somewhere, sounding somewhat abrupt in the hall.

Shen Kang glanced over and found that the person clapping was a boss he knew—Wei Shengjun.

It was early morning when Wei Shengjun, the boss, showed great enthusiasm and even reached out to shake hands with him.

Wei Shengjun's applause was like a switch.

Soon, people around started clapping, and then more and more joined in. In less than two seconds, the applause was deafening throughout the hall.

Yes, they were genuinely impressed: although they couldn't understand the slang at the end, they could understand Shen Kang's earlier remarks and learned about Anjia Household Services' business model.

This model of combining housekeeping services with sales channels truly opened their eyes. Moreover, it wasn't just a concept; the other party also created a successful sales case, proving the feasibility of this model.

They were impressed by this kind of creativity and applauded it wholeheartedly.

Others admired Shen Kang's final cryptic remarks: they had seen plenty of people spouting nonsense, but this was the first time they had ever seen someone use such "divine language" to write such a long and sophisticated speech, leaving them feeling both confused and impressed.

After the applause subsided, Shen Kang finally revealed the purpose of his speech.

"After my previous introduction, I believe everyone here has a good understanding of Anjia Housekeeping and Anjia Technology. On the occasion of this conference, I would like to announce some more good news."

The "Anjia Ecosystem" is officially launched today, and we sincerely invite partners to join us!

"There are two ways to cooperate. One is supply chain cooperation, which involves integrating with Anjia Technology. For example, if Anjia Technology wants to manufacture a smart refrigerator, all the necessary components, such as compressors and main control boards, will be purchased from the cooperating supply chain companies."

"Another option is channel cooperation."

"Manufacturers of finished products can choose to cooperate with channels and sell their products directly through the 'Anjia Housekeeping' channel. Of course, in keeping with our responsibility to users, we have relatively high requirements for the overall quality of the products of our channel partners."

"If you are interested in cooperation, you can contact me directly after the meeting, or you can visit our Anjia Housekeeping website to make a contact."

After Shen Kang finished speaking, he asked the crowd, "Does anyone have any other questions?"

The emergence of Anjia Ecosystem was indeed unexpected and something no one had anticipated before the meeting.

Everyone had a lot of ideas, and when they heard there was a Q&A session, many bosses immediately raised their hands, wanting to learn more about Shen Kang's cooperation plan.

Shen Kang then randomly pointed to someone and asked him to speak.

The boss then said directly, "Mr. Shen, I manufacture electric kettles under an OEM brand. If I choose to cooperate with you through your distribution channels and sell my kettles through your network, what would my sales volume be?"

Shen Kang said, "I can't give you an exact number right now. Based on the current number of Anjia Home Services users, it should be around 10,000 units. However, Anjia Home Services is about to launch a new round of expansion plans, which will simultaneously expand its business to more than a dozen cities in the province. At that time, the shipment volume will increase significantly."

Another business owner asked, "Mr. Shen, you said your distribution channels have high requirements for the overall quality of the products you partner with. Just how high are those requirements?"

Shen Kang said, "The overall performance indicators vary depending on the product. Those interested can contact me after the meeting regarding specific requirements."

offstage

Yang Baiwei has finished filming some specific shots and has now placed the camera on the tripod he brought.

He glanced at the viewfinder again, then turned to Zeng Jie beside him and whispered, "This kid, with that attitude, he really doesn't look like a college student."

Zeng Jie didn't say anything, but just looked through the viewfinder, then at Shen Kang who was calmly handling things on stage, and finally back at the enthusiastic entrepreneurs in the audience. He thought to himself, "This is really an unexpected gain."

In particular, he felt that Shen Kang's seemingly profound but actually enigmatic slang was perfect for the show, as it would effectively highlight the character's business acumen and create a striking contrast with his college student persona.

……

After answering the bosses' questions one by one, Shen Kang stepped down from the stage and returned to his seat.

On stage, the proceedings continued as scheduled, and another boss went up to speak.

Chen Kexu, standing next to Shen Kang, whispered to him again: "President Shen, you've been keeping this a secret for a long time. Lao Xiang and I thought you were just going to give a casual speech on stage, but we didn't expect you to have such grand ambitions."

Shen Kang also said in a low voice, "Not at all, it's just that the current economic environment is not good, everyone's orders have plummeted, and life is tough for everyone. Luckily, I have a sales channel that I can help find sales outlets and lend a hand."

Chen Kexu said in a low voice, "I think the sales model you mentioned is excellent and I'm very interested in it. However, my factory doesn't produce finished products; we only manufacture components. I wonder if Mr. Shen, your Anjia Technology needs electronic control modules?"

Chen Kexu was genuinely interested, but not particularly so.

After all, based on the data Shen Kang presented on stage, Anjia Household Services' sales channel has a rather limited capacity to ship goods.

Judging from this shipment volume, if Chen Kexu's factory were to supply Anjia Technology, the quantity would be very small, making it a "white elephant"—unprofitable but not worth abandoning.

It doesn't matter.

Chen Kexu wasn't just after Shen Kang; he was also watching the background behind Shen Kang.

Small shipment volume is fine; as long as we can cooperate, that's a success.

"An electronic control module?" Shen Kang said in a low voice, "Of course we need it. Our Anjia Technology is currently developing a product. If Mr. Chen is interested, I can arrange for someone from there to come and connect us to see if there are any areas for cooperation."

"Then it's settled."

The two were rustling around when, before long, Xiang Lingdong joined them.

After a flurry of whispers, the meeting finally came to an end.

Niu Haisheng also came to the stage again to deliver a closing speech.

After delivering his closing remarks, Niu Haisheng arranged the final part of the conference – a group photo.

Men generally don't like taking photos, but group photos in this kind of situation are a key focus.

The hotel staff started working on the stage, setting up the scaffolding—there were too many people wanting to take photos, and one row wasn't enough; they needed to stand in three rows, so they had to set up the scaffolding first, and the people at the back could stand higher so that everyone could be in the photo.

Once the scaffolding was set up, everyone went up on stage.

Niu Haisheng and some others coordinated on-site and arranged the positions.

When it was Shen Kang's turn, he was quite modest: "Among everyone here, I am the youngest and a junior. I think I'll just stand in the corner."

Chen Kexu was the first to object: "That won't do, President Shen, you have to stand in the first row."

Niu Haisheng chimed in, "Yes, I think it would be good for you to stand next to me, Mr. Shen."

Besides the two of them, the surrounding bosses also chimed in, urging Shen Kang to stand in the center position.

Before the meeting even began, Shen Kang had already impressed them with his image as a "guru on relationships" regarding emotions. Later, after taking the stage, he further impressed them with his expertise in "Anjia Ecology," showcasing his professional skills. It's fair to say that Shen Kang was accepted by them in every way, and they were quite comfortable with him standing in the center position.

With everyone's unanimous agreement, Shen Kang stopped insisting and had no choice but to accept the center position, standing next to Niu Haisheng, who was in the very center.

The three bosses stood in front of that large backdrop and took a group photo.

Among a group of middle-aged men in their forties, Shen Kang, standing in the center, was remarkably young and eye-catching.

……

After all the activities were completed, the meeting ended, but the group lingered, moving around and connecting with each other.

Many people came to this meeting with the intention of "seeking opportunities".

After an afternoon of meetings, some people did find some opportunities and immediately started making connections. Others, although they haven't found any opportunities yet, have people they want to meet and have also started making connections.

People also came looking for Shen Kang.

The first person to come looking for me was Wei Shengjun.

"When we met this morning, I could tell you were no ordinary person, Mr. Shen. Using housekeeping services as a sales channel, brilliant, truly brilliant!" Wei Shengjun said with a beaming smile, as enthusiastic as he had been that morning.

Shen Kang repeatedly said he dared not.

After a few pleasantries, Wei Shengjun got to the point: "Mr. Shen, I manufacture soy milk makers. I'm quite interested in your channel cooperation model. How about we schedule a time to discuss it in more detail?"

Shen Kang: "Sure. You're very welcome."

After Wei Shengjun, many more people came to find Shen Kang, and the number was quite large. Shen Kang's area had clearly become the liveliest area in the venue.

However, most of these people just come over to exchange business cards and exchange a few pleasantries; very few actually express any intention to cooperate.

Actually, many of these people are interested in Anjia's sales model, but like Chen Kexu, they all feel that Anjia's current sales volume is still too small, making it somewhat impractical. They wonder if the additional costs incurred from such a large-scale collaboration can be recouped.

So I plan to wait and see. Leaving my contact information will also make it easier to contact Anjia Housekeeping and cooperate when their shipments pick up in the future.

Only a few manufacturers who are currently struggling financially inquired about cooperation on the spot—they are so desperate that they want to pounce on any piece of meat they see and don't care whether it's fatty or lean.

In conclusion, Shen Kang's trip wasn't in vain; he did find some potential partners.

Of course, the cooperation wasn't finalized there. He still needed to contact Anjia Technology to assess the qualifications and capabilities of these companies. The standards and requirements of Anjia Ecosystem, as well as specific cooperation details, would all be discussed gradually in the later stages.

Zhou Man did not come over during this process.

After observing the young man's performance at the meeting, and seeing that Shen Kang was quite busy, she quietly left.

As for the industry conference, after everyone had finished making arrangements, Niu Haisheng, the organizer, called everyone together for dinner. He specially opened a banquet hall, set up many tables, and everyone enjoyed a hearty meal.

Shen Kang, one of the key figures at today's meeting, naturally couldn't be absent. So Shen Kang called He Qiuzhu, explained his situation, and then went to eat with everyone.

Reporters Zeng Jie and Yang Baiwei finished their work for the day and took their leave to return to the station, declining Niu Haisheng's kind invitation.

When the two left, Shen Kang also prepared red envelopes for their travel expenses.

With all the important matters discussed in the meeting, people started talking about romance and nature during the meal.

As the conversation flowed, after the dinner ended, some people started making arrangements for the next event: karaoke.

These business owners aren't going to sing karaoke; they're obviously not going to a chain karaoke bar for pure singing. It goes without saying that everyone knows they're going to a commercial karaoke bar.

People have already picked up the phone and made reservations.

As one of the focal points of the crowd, Shen Kang was naturally pulled along as well. He quickly declined, but everyone was in high spirits and ignored his refusals, insisting on dragging him out.

"Mr. Shen, we can all see that. Don't let your young age fool you, you're definitely a pioneer in the world of ladies' man, and you know how to have fun better than anyone else. We're all waiting for you to show us what it's like, how can we just let you off the hook like this?" someone said.

Hearing this, the people around also chimed in, saying things like "That's right, that's right."

The group of people then left the banquet hall.

Shen Kang was being pulled and dragged by these people, and there was no way he could refuse.

Just as he was thinking about how to get away, the surrounding crowd stopped, the previously noisy chatter subsided, and everyone looked ahead.

Shen Kang felt something was off, so he looked ahead and saw He Qiuzhu standing in the wide corridor outside through the gap between the two figures in front of him.

The corridor outside the banquet hall was spacious, with a clean and reflective floor. Under the bright lights overhead, He Qiuzhu stood there, wearing a black dress with a red belt around her waist. Her features were exquisite, and she looked over with a cool and aloof air, like a queen, with an intimidating presence.

Shen Kang thought to himself, "It's just in time," and sighed, saying, "I knew I really couldn't go."

After saying that, he pushed aside the two people in front of him and walked towards He Qiuzhu.

Perhaps intimidated by He Qiuzhu's appearance and aura, the bosses who had been forcibly dragging him away just moments before stopped and let him walk out.

After taking two steps, Shen Kang turned back and said goodbye to them, "I'll be going now. Contact me by phone if you need anything."

After saying that, he turned around and walked to He Qiuzhu's side.

He Qiuzhu looked at him with bright eyes, "Shen Kang, I've come to pick you up."

Shen Kang just smiled and said, "Let's go."

He Qiuzhu then turned around, and the two walked side by side toward the elevator at the other end.

Behind them, watching the two figures depart, the group of people who had surrounded Shen Kang finally spoke.

Exclamations of "So beautiful" rose sporadically.

Lin Yishan then asked, "Is that President Shen's girlfriend?"

Bei Ronghuan stroked his chin and said, "I think so? No wonder President Shen was so adamant about not going; it turns out he already has such a beautiful woman at home. President Shen is quite the lucky man!"

As he spoke, he thought of his beautiful girlfriend who had "low assets and low cash."

Previously, he was very satisfied with his girlfriend's appearance and figure, but now compared to President Shen's girlfriend, the difference is really quite large.

Chen Kexu was also in the crowd, remaining silent the whole time.

He was probably the most knowledgeable among them about whether the girl was Shen Kang's girlfriend, but there was no need to speak up. He just thought to himself, it seems not only Zhou Man values ​​this son-in-law, but Zhou Man's daughter is also very satisfied with him, even coming here to arrest him. Steady, very steady, that's good…

Mr. Shen was taken away by this pretty young girl right in front of them, which sparked another round of discussion. Many people even lamented for Mr. Shen, feeling that he had really lost his mind. Although the girl was indeed stunningly beautiful, Mr. Shen was still so young and promising, and it was a real pity that he gave up the whole forest for one tree.

However, this was just a minor incident.

Even without President Shen, Business K still had to go. After some discussion, everyone set off.

And that one

As Shen Kang and He Qiuzhu walked towards the elevator, Shen Kang casually asked, "Why did you come here?"

He Qiuzhu stated bluntly, "President Zhou sent me to pick you up."

Shen Kang thought to himself, "That makes sense. He Qiuzhu is so silly, she definitely wouldn't think of coming here to ambush me."

They then quickly changed the subject, asking about something else: "How did the innovation and entrepreneurship competition roadshow go this afternoon?"

Upon hearing this, He Qiuzhu became more talkative, chattering away: "It went very smoothly! All the judges praised our project!..."

She spared no effort in describing the entire scene. Her memory was also quite good; she even managed to roughly summarize the main points of the judges' remarks.

After they finished talking, the two of them took the elevator to their floor and walked on the carpet in the corridor.

After she finished speaking, He Qiuzhu turned around and stared at Shen Kang with bright, sparkling eyes.

Shen Kang, as if on cue, reached out his right hand and ruffled her hair. "Looks like I really didn't trust the wrong person. You're amazing. I doubt even if I did it myself, it wouldn't have been as successful as your presentation."

He Qiuzhu squinted her eyes like a kitten being comforted by a UA, her gaze full of pleasure.

"Silly."

Shen Kang smiled and rubbed it a couple more times, but in his mind he was thinking about He Qiuzhu's description of "the judges asking questions and then the judges answering the questions they asked themselves," and his eyes were thoughtful.

……

The Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition has ended. The next day, everyone's schedule is the same as the last city-level competition: leaving the hotel in the evening. During the day, everyone will be treated to a relaxing break. Those who want to laze around the hotel can do so, and those who want to explore the surrounding area can go about their business.

Shen Kang was woken up early in the morning by a phone call.

The call was from Zhou Man. She said she had something to do and had already left. She asked him to take He Qiuzhu out for some fun and relaxation today.

Shen Kang lay on the bed with his eyes closed, making "hmm hmm hmm" sounds for a while.

Once he regained consciousness, he got up, washed up, and then went out to catch the person.

Qian Ming'en had his own activities planned, including appointments with several teachers from other schools.

So Shen Kang didn't look for Qian Ming'en, but instead went to find He Qiuzhu, Ye Jintong, and Ma Liang, and then prepared to leave the hotel.

However, when they reached the hotel lobby, they ran into another team that was also participating in the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition. It was a team that Shen Kang and the others knew – the team from Qiannan University for Nationalities, whose captain was Yu Zeliang, the guy who sold counterfeit mobile phones.

Look at the swallows; they seem to be getting ready to leave the hotel to go sightseeing.

Shen Kang smiled at them as a greeting, and then prepared to lead them out to get in the car.

Yu Zeliang glanced over and then spoke up, "Shen Kang, what a coincidence, you're going out to play too?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Kang stopped. "Yes. You guys too?"

Yu Zeliang smiled. "Yes, where are we planning to go?"

"Zhuangyuan Street" (Scholar Street).

Upon hearing Shen Kang mention "Zhuangyuan Street," Yu Zeliang became even more enthusiastic and took the initiative to invite him: "What a coincidence, we're also going to Zhuangyuan Street, why don't we go together?"

As he spoke, Yu Zeliang picked up a bag he was carrying and gestured, "We also brought a camera, so we can take pictures later, which will be clearer than those taken with a mobile phone."

After thinking for a moment, Shen Kang glanced at the opposing team and his own team members. Seeing that no one seemed to be opposed to the idea, he smiled at Yu Zeliang and said, "Okay."

Seeing that Shen Kang had agreed, Yu Zeliang was quite pleased.

When he checked into the hotel the day before yesterday, his first impression of Shen Kang was that he was a quiet, unassuming person, so he didn't bother with him. However, after the "remote courtesy" incident at the hotel, Yu Zeliang's opinion changed. Later, Yu Zeliang even saw Shen Kang being courted by a group of businessmen in the Chinese restaurant that morning. Last night, on his way back after dinner, Yu Zeliang happened to pass by and saw Shen Kang being surrounded by a group of businessmen as he came out of the banquet hall.

All of this made Yu Zeliang very eager to befriend Shen Kang, who was standing in front of him.
