Chapter 13 It’s Me Again
Chapter 13 It’s Me Again
Yu Xing's second research trip with Zhong Zhiling also didn't take much effort.
In fact, this trip is faster than finding your own counselor.
Yu Xing arrived at the office, politely stated his identity as a student, and courteously sought help from the counselors. Except for one counselor who was busy with something, everyone else in the office came over, including the female counselor, who had an enthusiastic discussion.
"Hey, that couple of students you proposed to in public last year, have they got the marriage certificate yet?"
"No, no, I was lurking in the group and heard that there was a cold war."
"Who gave me 70%-80%? I think it should be 80%-90%?"
"Maybe more. The percentage of students who have been in love should be over 90%! I won't tick it, I'll just write 92%!"
There was a lot of lively discussion in the office, and it was much more fun than work.
Full of enthusiasm, actively cooperating, chattering, and seeming to want more.
When Yu Xing and Zhong Zhiling walked out of the office, they could still hear the discussion coming from behind them. The two looked at each other and saw disbelief in each other's eyes.
This isn’t a difficult thing, but it’s a bit too easy!
"I miscalculated. I shouldn't have picked up some fruit. I should have bought some melon seeds!" Yu Xing reviewed his mistake.
Zhong Zhiling couldn't help scratching his head: "Why are the counselors... uh, I can't explain it."
"Counselors are also human beings. This is no different from you guys discussing girls in your class, the class next door, and which teacher is prettier in your dormitory." Yu Xing said, "Okay, let's get busy. You stay in these schools and I'll go to Nanjing University."
He thought for a moment and made arrangements: "We will use two or three days to conduct the research. Today's time is not enough. I will call a few more people tomorrow and hand the information to Sister Ying the day after tomorrow. We will try to officially start the work this week."
Zhong Zhiling held a stack of survey questionnaires and nodded vigorously.
Soon, when it came time to act alone, he found that he was still a little nervous and his speech was a little stuttering.
But the tension and stuttering did not affect the progress of this work too much.
Sometimes, the counselor would ask which school and the meaning of the questionnaire, but after explaining it a few words, there were no harsh questions.
Zhong Zhiling was new to the experience but became more familiar with it the second time, and he did not end his research trip until the evening.
There are 15 universities in Jiangning University Town, including well-known domestic universities such as Southeast University and Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Today's survey was conducted by cycling to 5 of them. Together with our own university and neighboring universities, there are 7 universities in total.
Zhong Zhiling had been busy all day and was sweating all over. While waiting to meet up with his senior brother, he flipped through the survey questionnaire and marveled at the results.
Is this a research activity?
It doesn’t seem to be that high-end.
It was seven o'clock in the evening when Zhong Zhiling finally saw his senior brother, whose face was filled with fatigue.
"Brother Xing, how is it?" Zhong Zhiling quickly handed over a bottle of mineral water.
"I went to Xianlin and visited eight schools." Yu Xing gulped down half a bottle of water. "How is it going here?"
Zhong Zhiling reported his results: "I visited 5 schools, plus the 2 we visited together, so now there are 15 schools in total!"
There are almost 50 colleges and universities in Jinling, and 30% of them have run away!
"Well, there's no need to go through all of them again. It looks like if I find someone to help me tomorrow, I'll be able to finish the report." Yu Xing wiped his sweat off his forehead, took over his junior's report on today's achievements, and read it carefully.
He flipped through two pages and took out a copy and put it on the table.
Zhong Zhiling took it and asked curiously, "What's wrong with this one? Is there a problem?"
"Those with too low scores will not be included in the statistics. Haven't you watched TV? Remove the highest score and the lowest score." Yu Xing said casually, "The love rate of the first answer will be 20%-30%. Which school is it from? Just write it randomly!"
Zhong Zhiling also had some impression of this questionnaire: "It seemed to be a civil engineering instructor, and he also asked me for other people's answers."
Yu Xing hummed, "Civil Engineering? Not surprising. Hey, he didn't write it higher for the sake of Civil Engineering's face, did he?"
Zhong Zhiling blinked and roughly understood the situation: "In this case, we don't have to go there anymore."
"No, on the contrary, it's not that civil engineers don't want to date, it's just that there are not many girls. How can they not be willing to spend money on dating?" Yu Xing shook his head, "Not only will they go, they will also be our high conversion rate target."
Zhong Zhiling only had one feeling: "Damn..."
Yu Xing finished drinking the water and roughly read through the questionnaire.
Before he could start counting, Zhong Zhiling received a call from his girlfriend, who said that she had already dealt with two clients and obtained 598 yuan in funds, and asked him to come over to join them.
When Lv Haiying arrived, Yu Xing's statistics were almost finished. "I haven't written the contract yet! I remember Zhiling had the contract before! They didn't even ask me for it!" Lv Haiying was very happy when they met, "It went well, it went well! I have talent, right!"
"You have talent. Well, you will work in the market from now on, and let Zhong Zhiling take care of the money." Yu Xing was very optimistic about the third-in-command who had no ideological burden. "Our project will inevitably come into contact with many female students. You are very suitable for communicating with them."
Lu Haiying became vigorous and confident.
"Come, let's take a look at our results today, which are preliminary statistical conclusions from 15 universities in Jinling." After Yu Xing finished his calculations, he picked up the notebook and announced today's results.
——80% of college students have been in love, but only 32% are currently in love. The proportion of graduates in love is 21%, and the proportion of marriage after entering society is 1.5%.
In other words, the marriage probability, which is the core of the dating contract, is roughly in line with the current situation.
Also, if we follow this data, there will be a maximum of 11.5 couples among Jinling’s 24150 graduates this year. However, considering duplication, the actual number of graduating couples will inevitably be reduced.
"We can round off the number," Yu Xing thought, "that is, 20,000 graduating couples."
He continued: "Excluding those who are angry about the cold war in long-distance relationships, there are 3000 couples."
Zhong Zhiling and Lu Haiying couldn't help but look at each other.
Yu Xing picked up his pen again: "Excluding those who are planning to break up, the number is 3000."
That’s 1.4 couples.
"Excluding those who are just dating for the sake of getting along and will break up immediately after graduation, there are still 3000 couples." Yu Xing reduced the number again.
There are 1.1 million more.
Yu Xing raised his hand again and was about to speak.
Zhong Zhiling had no choice but to speak up, and said in a somewhat pleading tone: "Brother Xing, don't go again!"
He didn't know why, but he always felt uncomfortable.
Yu Xing raised his head and said, "Oh? Have you considered all the factors? Well, according to today's rough statistics, only about 100 out of 2 couples can get married after graduation, which is quite high."
The expression on Lu Haiying's face was a little stiff.
"Okay, we'll continue with the statistics tomorrow. Now that we've done it, let's be more solid." Yu Xing was quite satisfied with today's work. "Excluding the influence of various factors, this year's 1.1 graduating couples will be our potential customer base. Not to mention the 30% conversion rate, even if we can get 10%, that's still... 1100 couples."
"1100*299, 328900."
"After removing the decimals, the revenue is 30."
Yu Xing looked at the second and third in command and said, "Let's see the actual conversion of the previous work. If we can raise it to 30%, we will be aiming for a million in revenue."
Zhong Zhiling and Lu Haiying nodded silently.
"Okay, I'll write a data set. You can all take a look at it and think more about the work we are about to do and find out what is missing and fill in the gaps." Yu Xing took out another A4 paper.
Everything is done, time to call it a day.
Zhong Zhiling and Lu Haiying left with a rough version of the couple research report. They had no interest in talking along the way.
When they arrived at the dormitory door, the two young men hugged each other, their hearts trembling.
Today I got to verify the reality with my own hands.
"Do you think we can make it to the end?" Lu Haiying asked in a low voice.
"Yes, I definitely can." Zhong Zhiling knew how to answer at this time.
However, he couldn't help but recall the various scenes from the daytime survey, when different counselors answered the last question on the questionnaire in different accents and expressions - as for whether they were getting married, the proportion was too small.
Zhong Zhiling had just broken up with his girlfriend when he received a call from his senior.
"Oh, yes, I forgot one thing. We need to apply for a Taobao store on Taobao. You can register with your ID card and the name will be Guiai.com." Yu Xing said, "It will be useful in the future. Once we publish this report, there will definitely be online traffic."
Zhong Zhiling asked: "Me again?"
Yu Xing said, "Yes, or you can let Lv Haiying do it. You can discuss it. It won't be a problem."
Zhong Zhiling thought about his girlfriend who was as weak as a kitten in his arms just now, and sighed: "Let me do it."
