Chapter 12 Research
Yu Xing wanted to explore the market separately with Zhong Zhiling, but considering his junior's ability, he brought him with him in the first wave to avoid being at a loss when he took action.

The soon-to-be-established "Guiai.com" needs to set goals for the team to be built. The current step is to investigate the love status of college students and graduates, and then further evaluate the potential user groups in the city of Jinling, as well as the domestic groups it represents to a certain extent.

As for whether the data is rigorous or not...

Yu Xing felt that the goal should not be too outrageous, and there should be room for flexibility anyway.

"Counselor, Qiu Zhaoming, male, 31 years old, has a good relationship with students and is a gossipy person."

"I used to think he was too gossipy, but now I see that he is just the right kind of gossipy."

On the way, Yu Xing introduced to his junior fellow student the first target of this trip, who was his counselor during his undergraduate studies.

On the way, he bought two packs of cigarettes from the school supermarket, gave one pack to Zhong Zhiling, and printed out a few formal questionnaires.

When he saw the target, before Zhong Zhiling could react, he saw the two of them leave the office and find a staircase to smoke.

When Yu Xing saw the counselor, he felt a little emotional and inevitably exchanged more pleasantries.

"Hey, hey, why did you light up another one?" Qiu Zhaoming looked at Yu Xing who had just smoked half of a cigarette and asked in surprise, "Are you smoking so heavily now?"

Yu Xing smiled and said, "I've been under a lot of pressure lately. Oh, right, let's get down to business. Come on, Zhiling, bring me the questionnaire."

Qiu Zhaoming took a questionnaire and saw the title on it - Chinese College Students' Love Survey.

He looked at it carefully and asked in confusion, "Is this the serious matter you were talking about? I thought you wanted me to introduce you to a girlfriend."

"Who can introduce a girlfriend prettier than this?" Yu Xing said with a smile, "I'm also helping my buddy. They are going to do a campus survey and they seem to be thinking of getting sponsorship from some big companies. I thought about it and decided that for students like this, they need to find someone like Brother Qiu who is capable and responsible."

"Introducing a girlfriend is more serious." Qiu Zhaoming looked at the questionnaire, took out a pen from his pocket, and muttered, "Is there something going on, Brother Qiu, it's okay, Old Qiu, right?"

Yu Xing just laughed.

Qiu Zhaoming looked at the questionnaire carefully and found it was not complicated.

——What percentage of college students do you think have ever been in a relationship?
——How many college students are in love?
——What is the percentage of graduates who are in love?

——What percentage of college couples do you think get married after graduation?
"You've talked about it yourself, so why are you asking me this?" Qiu Zhaoming was holding a pen. Although he said this, he had already started to figure out the proportion that matched his impression in his mind.

Yu Xing smiled and asked directly the first question: "How many students in the classes you have taught in the past few years have been in love?"

Qiu Zhaoming has already read the question and thought about it carefully. It doesn't matter whether there is a score now or not...

His pen hesitated between the two options, and he looked up and said, "A lot of people have dated. College students suddenly come out of high school and enter a relaxed environment like this. Parents are not around, and they are all people of the same age. Some are budding, and some are following the trend. I think at least 70% of them have dated. For example, I have four classes now, with nearly 200 people. Well, maybe to of them have dated, but they break up quickly as well."

"Then choose." Yu Xing did not mix in his own opinions. He just wanted to see the counselor's current state of knowledge. "You can also write down the proportion you think, such as 75% or 78%."

Qiu Zhaoming chose 70%-80%.

Then, he took the initiative to say, "Those who are still negotiating...maybe less than half, no, 30%, um...not right, let me calculate."

Qiu Zhaoming kept mumbling to himself, Luo Maobin, Jiang Jianhe, Jin Xinhui, Shang Linlin, no, she is not there, she broke up...

Zhong Zhiling couldn't help but wink at his senior. This counselor was indeed quite gossipy.

After a while, Qiu Zhaoming used the 200 people he brought with him as a sample and gave a number that surprised himself: "The proportion of people who are still in love may be only 25%, which is about 50 people."

Yu Xing nodded slightly and asked, "For next month's graduates, their ratio should drop again, right?"

"It seems..." Qiu Zhaoming thought about it and shook his head, "It doesn't seem to be much different."

He hesitated and said, "I estimate that it will drop by 5%. Some people will break up, but most of them will break up after graduation."

"Five points, not a small number. That means there are still 5 people in love among the graduates." Yu Xing asked a question that could verify the probability. "Based on your contacts, how many of these 40 couples will eventually get married?"

Qiu Zhaoming fell into deep thought.

Yu Xing did not urge and waited for the answer.

"If they are married, they definitely cannot be counted as the students I am teaching now. The students before that..." Qiu Zhaoming said hesitantly, "If we still count the total number of 200, there will be 40 left after graduation, so there will be about 1."

Yu Xing was stunned: "1? Just one couple?" "Getting married and then divorced, does that count?" Qiu Zhaoming asked.

Zhong Zhiling, who was listening nearby, said: "..."

Yu Xing was silent for two seconds, then said firmly: "Forget it!"

Qiu Zhaoming nodded: "That's a pair."

Yu Xing: “…”

Still counting it as one couple, 1/1, the probability of marriage among graduation couples is 40%.

"You will encounter too many problems after graduation. You are innocent on campus, but when you enter society, you are not just two people, but two families." Qiu Zhaoming thought about it and felt that it was not enough. He sighed, "Parents, life, buying a house, personality, work, too many factors."

As he said this, he answered the last question with a pen.

Yu Xing took the questionnaire that Qiu Zhaoming handed back, glanced at it briefly, and took five more from his junior brother. He smiled and said, "Brother Qiu, please help me and let the other counselors fill it out."

"What's there to fill in this?" Qiu Zhaoming shook his head, but still took it.

"I'll treat you to lunch tomorrow at noon." Yu Xing smiled and handed over another cigarette.

Qiu Zhaoming waved his hand and reminded: "Don't smoke anymore. You should smoke less too. It contains nicotine."

Yu Xing agreed with a smile, thanked the counselor again, and then left with Zhong Zhiling.

When he got downstairs, he asked his junior fellow apprentice: "This isn't that difficult, is it?"

"Yes..." Zhong Zhiling nodded first, then said in embarrassment, "But, isn't it because you know each other?"

"Let's go to the Tourism College next door." Yu Xing did not refute, but just said his own thoughts, "We need to make good use of our student identity. This identity can greatly reduce the cost of communication in campus activities."

Zhong Zhiling subconsciously asked, "Hmm?"

"He's still a student. What can he do?" Yu Xing shrugged. "That's probably how it feels."

Zhong Zhiling couldn't help but laugh, and then said, "Only one person out of 200 got married in the end?"

"In the end, only one person can go from campus love to real marriage." Yu Xing asked casually, "Will you be that one?"

Zhong Zhiling stopped talking.

When we walked out of the school gate, he suddenly said, "Xiaoying is also in the company now. If we break up, will it affect our work?"

Yu Xing stopped, looked at his junior brother, said nothing, and just gave him a thumbs up.

He did not answer such questions. As he walked into the school next door, he explained the ultimate goal of today's survey: "We need to have a rough number so that we can know the extent of our activities in Jinling."

"A small ship is easier to turn around. If there are 1000 potential customers, we may be able to set a conversion rate of 30%."

"Based on the performance goals, we can then consider the size of the team needed and how many people are needed to do this."

“Campus activities are relatively simple. As long as you have some experience in the early stages, the rest will be similar.”

Yu Xing asked his junior fellow apprentice: "Do you understand?"

Zhong Zhiling nodded and asked, "Where will the team members come from?"

Yu Xing pointed to the school and said, "Let's do this first. That won't be difficult either."

He added: "Also, I will use our survey samples this time to issue a "Chinese College Students' Love Survey Report", and once the team has some initial experience and results, I will create some additional reputation."

Zhong Zhiling heard this high-sounding name and was a little unsure that it came from the hands of two medical students.

Perhaps, it would be more appropriate to write a "Huaxia University Student Health Report" or a "Mental Status Assessment Report"...
