Chapter 522: Chapter 196: Teaching Nanaz to Drive

The next morning.

Su Zelin sat in front of the computer, scrolling through the Zhejiang University BBS with great interest.

Because of his all-day campus date with Qin Shiqing, the place had already exploded.

The forum was full of condemnation, most of it bashing him, unmistakably from guys, and some were just sour grapes.

Before the Zhejiang University store opened, Su Zelin had created several small accounts on the Zhejiang University BBS, and now he logged into one of them,

"Taptaptap..."

He quickly typed a few lines and sent them with the Ctrl+Enter shortcut.

You don’t understand how awesome I am: "Yeah, is Qin Shiqing blind? What’s so great about that guy? Isn’t it just a bit of filthy money, the ability to drive a Passat with one hand, generosity, looking as handsome as Huang Zongze, being over 1.8 meters tall, speaking humorously, twirling a pen deftly? What other strengths does he have?"

Just like the NBA star Kevin Durant in later times, hooligans occasionally like to use small accounts to argue with netizens, but Durant was too straightforward, just openly arguing with netizens, which was unworthy of a superstar identity.

Su Zelin, on the other hand, was very tactical. He understood strategy, like infiltrating the enemy ranks to play double agent.

When he posted this, the male netizens on Zhejiang University’s side were shocked, but they couldn’t unleash their Italian cannons.

Who is this kid, wearing friendly forces’ uniforms but seeming to compliment that guy in a roundabout way?

The advantage of nimble fingers came into play, and in no time, the fast-typing hooligan managed to infiltrate almost every post that was bashing him.

The male netizens didn’t use their Italian cannons, but the female netizens started firing.

"What do you know? Who wouldn’t like such a young, wealthy, and romantic guy willing to spend money on girls!"

"This kind of guy is simply the best, if I were Qin Shiqing, I’d accept him too!"

"Haha, really jealous, is it so hard to admit someone is excellent?"

"You can tell he’s a pathetic guy who can’t find a girlfriend, feeling unbalanced seeing a handsome guy winning over Qin Shiqing. Such an attitude deserves no girls’ attention!"

"..."

The hooligan logged into another small account, pretending to support the allies, and argued with the female netizens.

The rhythm quickly picked up, eventually turning into a chaotic battle between male and female factions.

The males were belittling the hooligan, while the females were praising him in various ways.

Although they were Zhejiang University students, in the end, they were still just college students, not as experienced as Su Zelin, easily led by the nose.

As a result, there weren’t just people bashing me; I was also a friend to females with a huge support group, hehe~~~

Just when the Zhejiang University BBS was in an uproar, the hooligan leading the fiasco quietly slipped away, achievements and name hidden.

He still had things to do today and couldn’t spend all his time on the forum.

He first went to the electronics store, took a stroll inside. Though he hadn’t yet given the manager position to Xiaoliu as a student, he was still the nominal head of the Financial Institute store and had to occasionally show his face to maintain his presence.

But Su Zelin didn’t stay long and quickly left.

Driving a Santana to the city center to a newly erected commercial building that started leasing just last month.

The headquarters of New Era is located here.

The location here is great, with good traffic, and there’s a direct bus stop from the university town nearby, making it very suitable for a headquarters.

The rent is a bit expensive, but Su Zelin doesn’t mind, securing a 500 square meter space in the electronics area right away.

The company loaned five million, funds are ample.

Go big or go home, small plays are meaningless.

This is the headquarters of New Era, which represents the company’s image and stature, so it can’t be smaller than ordinary stores.

Moreover, New Era signed a ten-year contract here.

At this time, real estate hadn’t been hyped up, many people didn’t have the foresight for short contracts and rent increases every two to three years, so signing a long-term contract was relatively easy.

New Era cited the substantial investment in renovation to secure guarantees and negotiated with the developers twice, effortlessly securing this long-term contract.

Besides the location advantage, another reason for choosing this building.

It won’t be long before Lin’an municipal government plans a large cultural park next to it, which will increase the area’s popularity, consequently raising rents.

You could then profit handsomely even if you don’t operate a store and decide to transfer the lease!

The developers wouldn’t want to breach the contract because the penalty is high, and being a major developer, they value their reputation. Word of contract breaching spreads easily and could lead to losing other merchants’ trust. Who’d dare take up space in your shops if you breach contracts after signing?

This is the advantageous foresight of someone who reincarnated, so Su Zelin dares to casually take out a loan from the bank, borrowing as much as possible.

Others may not be able to make use of these assets, but for the hooligan, borrowed money is definitely a hen that lays golden eggs!

Although the headquarters isn’t in the university district, that’s not an issue.

New Era targets young people, not just university students. Su Zelin simply used the university market to break into and expand from it. He had previously discussed his plans with Brother Yang — to surround the city from the universities. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Once you’ve made a name at universities, you can expand the business beyond campuses.

As long as you’re famous and have a good reputation, any consumer could be a potential customer, not just university students.

Moreover, with so many universities in Lin’an, New Era doesn’t have stores in all of them, and the main store in some ways fills this market gap.

In short, Su Zelin is very confident about the main store. He believes business should be better than any branch, and significantly so.
