I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.

Chapter 99 He wasn't just hypothesizing, he was actually hypothesizing.

"Good news?"

Yang Yunhan was stunned.

Instead of answering, Shen Kang asked, "Why do you think this is a bad thing?"

"Aren't these two people's actions just like those of scalpers? Scalpers infringe on our interests—" Yang Yunhan explained her understanding.

Shen Kang, however, had a different view: "Aren't we distributing questionnaires to find out customers' psychological price points? This thing they're doing is actually helping us, using real market feedback to help us determine customers' true psychological price points."

"Besides, our trial vouchers were given out for free, and he made all the money, which is essentially stealing our profits. But we can also become scalpers. Or, we can enter this secondary market and become big players—"

Shen Kang explained his understanding to Yang Yunhan, and finally said, "You need to control the verification of the experience vouchers carefully. If you notice anything wrong, check the code on the computer."

Because of his usual caution, Shen Kang didn't have the vouchers for the 302 study room made by the school's printing shop. Instead, he went to a large, professionally qualified factory outside the school to make them. Just like some mid-to-high-end restaurants on the market make their vouchers, he paid extra for anti-counterfeiting measures.

The 16-digit number and letter code is also an anti-counterfeiting technology. The manufacturer provided them with the corresponding code, which is stored on the computer in the store. Each coupon corresponds to a unique code.

"We need to get the staff recruitment going as soon as possible; you're too busy doing it all by yourself right now. Never mind, I'll handle that. You focus on keeping the store busy—"

Shen Kang listed the items and gave them to Yang Yunhan one by one.

After Shen Kang's explanation, Yang Yunhan finally calmed down and said she would take good care of the 302 study room.

After hanging up, Shen Kang called Qian Jun again, instructing him to leave 80% of the 302 study room trial vouchers untouched. Starting tomorrow, only 20% of the vouchers should be given away.

After doing all that, he looked at the two posts on the computer screen in front of him that advertised buying and selling trial vouchers.

A single flower does not make spring; a hundred flowers blooming together make a garden full of spring.

However, I have a lot on my plate right now and can't be in two places at once.

Just then, the dormitory door rang, and then Wang Pan and the others entered the small dormitory.

"You've been studying all this time?" Shen Kang couldn't help but ask.

"Not really, we did go out for dinner in between." Wang Pan's face was beaming, clearly he had a great time today. "Old Shen, I don't think your laundry room is anything special, it just helps us do our laundry. But this 302 study room is really great, I'll go study there tomorrow!"

Feng Moquan then asked, "Old Shen, where did you buy those 'Three Kingdoms Kill' cards? I want to buy a set too."

"I bought it on Taobao. You can find it by searching for 'Three Kingdoms Kill' on Taobao."

After Shen Kang finished speaking, he looked at Jin Chao and said, "Old Jin, come here, I need to talk to you about something."

Jin Chao was a little puzzled and walked over. "What's wrong?"

"Would you like to work part-time and earn some pocket money?" Shen Kang looked at him with a smile.

Jin Chao thought for a moment and asked, "What kind of work? Working in your study room 302?"

"no,"

As Shen Kang spoke, he stood up, pressed Jin Chao down onto the bench, pointed to the screen, and began to explain: "It's just about posting ads, collecting trial vouchers for the 302 study room, and then going offline to make a face-to-face transaction, paying and taking the goods—"

Jin Chao listened for a while and understood. It didn't seem difficult, but he was a little worried: "We have class tomorrow."

"Just attend class as usual, and you can do the trading afterwards."

Jin Chao was no longer worried. "If that's the case, then there's no problem." He had thought Shen Kang had asked him to skip class to do this job.

Wang Pan, who had listened to the whole thing, seemed somewhat dissatisfied: "Old Shen, why didn't you come to me?"

Shen Kang remained calm: "You're willing to work for me?"

Wang Pan quickly shook his head, "That's definitely impossible!"

"Isn't that settled?" Shen Kang then looked at Feng Moquan. "Old Feng has been busy developing his relationship with Zhong Lin lately, so he doesn't seem to have much free time. That's why he asked Old Jin for help."

Feng Moquan nodded, then resumed his calm tone: "Indeed, Zhong Lin keeps sending me messages, I can't ignore them."

In fact, Shen Kang sought out Jin Chao because he felt that among the three people in the dormitory, Jin Chao was the most composed and unlikely to make mistakes.

"Old Jin, when you don't have class tomorrow, go back to your dorm and use my computer to keep an eye on things."

As Shen Kang spoke, he took out his wallet and pulled out all the red bills inside. "Here's a thousand yuan. You can use it first. It's a special fund for collecting trial vouchers. Also, I'll give you a hundred yuan for every day you work, as your salary."

Wang Pan watched with envy—mainly because his wallet was so empty lately that he wanted to do this job too, but the thought of working for Lao Shen made him reluctant.

Old Shen is a good person. He gave Wang Pan a lot of face today, but it's absolutely impossible for him to work for Old Shen. It's more like Old Shen working for him.

The following Monday, the freshmen officially began their classes.

Shen Kang and his classmates have a class in the morning, "Introduction to E-commerce," which starts at 10 a.m. and consists of two consecutive sessions, lasting until 11 a.m.

40.

When Wang Pan and the others were woken up by their 9:30 alarm clock, they found that Shen Kang was gone.

"Old Shen is still very proactive. He went to the classroom so early on the first day of class. But it's not good that he didn't call on us." Wang Pan said with some emotion and some dissatisfaction.

The three of them quickly washed up and were about to leave when Wang Pan received a call from Shen Kang.

"Brother Pan, I have something to do today and I won't be at school. Don't forget our agreement, please help me with the attendance check, thanks."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Pan was still a little incredulous—what kind of freshman skips class on the very first day of college? That's too outrageous! Old Shen was probably joking with him; maybe he was already in the classroom by now?

When Wang Pan and the others arrived at the classroom, the teachers were already there and class had started, but Shen Kang still hadn't appeared.

"Holy crap, Shen Kang really skipped class on the first day?!" Feng Moquan sat next to Wang Pan, lowering his voice, his eyes full of surprise.

Jin Chao finally understood why Shen Kang had assigned him this "simple work-study job".

Wang Pan remained silent, his mind filled with the words Shen Kang had spoken to him on the balcony the night of their first day of school: "Suppose, I mean suppose. Suppose I became your class monitor, then if I missed a class, would you record me as present on the attendance sheet, instead of absent?"

"So, assuming I miss many classes, will you help me with the attendance sheet?"

"So, assuming I stay out all night for many nights, will you write my name down when you check the dorms?"

"So, assuming I don't have any notes in any of my textbooks, could you highlight the key points for me at the end of the semester?"

"————

Wang Pan had a bad feeling.

Old Shen might not be making a hypothesis, he might be making a real one!
