Self-redemption introverted otaku turned into "godfather"
?
Wei Jie, 30, was born in a doctor's family in Wuzhou, Guangxi. After graduating from the health school in 2004, he went through all kinds of hardships to enter a big hospital in the city, but because he could not afford the expensive "employment fee" for a long time, he was swept out of the house by the employer before the probation period.
?
In 2006, Wei Jie came to Guangzhou alone. Introverted, the job search was not smooth, and after many twists and turns, I entered a company to do marketing work. But he is shy, and he will blush even when talking to strangers. Where are the materials for sale? After a month of zero performance, he had to leave his job automatically.
?
In March 2007, Wei Jie applied for the position of website editor of an IT company with his self-taught computer technology. Although I don't have to deal with strangers anymore, the salary is very low. Without money, he is even more reluctant to go out to socialize. Gradually, he became a typical "otaku". A lovely girl in the company, who looks very good, and Wei Jie have a good impression on each other in their work contact, but he is never embarrassed to invite girls out together, and he can't muster up the courage to express his love. It was not until half a year later that Wei Jie watched the girl he liked become someone else's girlfriend.
?
Once he went back to his hometown to visit relatives, Wei Jie attended a classmate party. He feels that all students who get along well have the characteristics of gregarious. After getting drunk, the frustrated otaku decided to "redeem" himself.
?
Wei Jie found a bunch of foreign language books about the science of chatting up and dating on the Internet, and studied them in his spare time, hoping to change himself from a "technical house" to a "sunny man". In order to change his wooden and introverted personality and have a love affair as soon as possible, he decided to try it according to the chat-up method advocated in the book!
?
Every weekend, Wei Jie will go to public places such as streets, squares and subway stations to chat with strangers. At first, due to his inexperience, he created a lot of embarrassment and was even laughed at and abused. Summarizing the lessons of failure, Wei Jie believes that the topic you are most afraid of when chatting up can't arouse the interest of the other party, and even make people bored. Therefore, in addition to being thick-skinned, we should also pay attention to skills when chatting up strangers.
?
One day, Wei Jie just walked out of the company gate and found it was raining outside. At this time, a 20-year-old MM was holding an umbrella and preparing to leave. He quickly said, "Hi, are you Lei's classmate?" The girl looked at him in surprise and said, "Ah? You have the wrong person! " Wei Jie continued to smile and said, "No! Everyone calls you Lei Feng! " With that, he pointed to the umbrella. Beautiful MM got the message, hahaha smiled and nodded in agreement to open an umbrella with him. After two months of practice, Wei Jie found that his self-confidence was greatly enhanced, and his experience of actively chatting with people was becoming more and more abundant.
?
At the beginning of 2008, he applied to be transferred to the company's marketing department, hoping to exercise his communication skills by doing business. At the same time, Wei Jie feels that good things should be shared with everyone. So after work, he opened a chat bookstore on Taobao, which specializes in selling such books. Unexpectedly, business is not bad after opening. In order to do a good job of after-sales service, Wei Jie read books related to bookstores and various technical posts circulating on the Internet day and night, and created QQ chat groups to exchange experiences with experts, gradually answering customers' inquiries and becoming the "godfather of chatting up" in the eyes of netizens.

Commercial advantage, original "strike up a conversation training camp"
?
In April 2008, Wei Jie won the heart of a girl in Guangzhou with her elegant temperament and humor. The other party is not only young and beautiful, but also a white-collar worker of a Fortune 500 company, which makes friends and colleagues envious and everyone learns from him. By opening Taobao Bookstore, Wei Jie was also surprised to find that many young people became older "leftover men" on the Internet because they were addicted to the Internet and ashamed to communicate. This message touched Wei Jie's heart: Why not give full play to your own advantages and set up a "strike up a conversation training class" to save the otaku!
?
This idea has been unanimously endorsed by friends. Wei Jie resolutely resigned from the IT company and decided to start a business with a colleague named Lao Yang. He first spent a month compiling a "Chat Training Textbook" with his rich chat experience, and then built a "Guangzhou Chat Training Camp" in Douban.com to recruit chat students and members. Wei Jie's slogan is: learn to build a better tomorrow! Unexpectedly, after the establishment of the training camp, not only no one signed up, but also many netizens patted bricks. Seeing this situation, Wei Jie had to find some familiar netizens and conduct free training first.
?
On September 2, 2008 10, Wei Jie invited10 students to his own "training camp"-a suite in a residential area next to Tianhe City in Guangzhou, and started the first training. During the training, he led the students to the streets and demonstrated the chat skills on the spot. When he saw a tall girl coming from the opposite side, Wei Jie greeted him with a bright smile and shouted in surprise, "Sun Xiaorui, why are you here?" The other party was surprised and said, "Sir, you mistook me for someone else." Looking at each other carefully, I sighed, "God, you look so much like my high school classmate Sun. You are simply twin sisters!" " The girl was dubious: "Really?" "
?
"Of course it's true. What is your QQ number? I will send you her photo later to make sure you will be surprised! It is also a great fate to meet people who look like themselves in the vast sea of people! " The girl hesitated and finally handed Wei Jie her business card.
?
After the success of the first battle, I explained to my classmates: "Actually, I didn't call Sun's classmate, I just made up this excuse to chat up her, just to make the opening remarks less abrupt. In the future, even if the girl finds out that I lied to her, she won't be angry, because it's just a little lie that I have painstakingly told to get to know her. " The students nodded frequently.
?
Then, Wei Jie accosted a beautiful MM in her twenties in front of a cosmetics store with many beautiful customers and said, "Hello! A friend of mine who is studying in new york asked me to buy her two boxes of masks. The salesman recommended the most expensive product. Can you give me some good advice? " The girl smiled and agreed. The two chatted like this, and later even turned the topic from cosmetics to work and even life. Wei Jie learned that the girl is from Chongqing and has just come to work in Guangzhou. When they left, they also left each other's phone numbers.
?
After appreciating Wei Jie's superb strike up a conversation skill, the students were impressed and immediately expressed their willingness to become lifelong members of the strike up a conversation training camp. The first business made Wei Jie earn 8000 yuan.
?
In order to expand the publicity, Wei Jie filmed the training scenes into videos and photos and uploaded them to the website of "Chatting Training Camp". Unexpectedly, this move attracted a lot of popularity. Seeing that he really started chatting up training, many netizens began to support him with posts. Seeing is believing, and those otaku girls who are frustrated by love and career have all signed up.

The book "Talk to Brother" nuggets 2 million.

In June 2009, a handsome boy in his thirties came to the training camp. After talking, Wei Jie learned that his name is Yang Chen, a native of Changsha, and he holds a master's degree in computer science from Guangzhou University with a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan. But it is such an elite man with outstanding image that he has never been welcomed by women. At the same time, Wei Jie also found a beautiful member named Xu Mengru, who looks like Yang Chen. Although she is beautiful and has a considerable income, she is an older woman who doesn't go out for a long time.
?
Wei Jie had a brainwave: Why not combine otaku and otaku and let them collide? So, he designed a scene ―― one night, he and Lao Yang took Yang Chen and Xu Mengru who didn't know each other to a bar. Later, he asked Yang Chen to dress up as a "frivolous man" and approached Xu Mengru: "Beauty, are you going to your house or mine tonight?" Under normal circumstances, most women will say, "Fuck you." This will often irritate each other and cause trouble. Then, Lao Yang taught Xu Mengru to strike up a conversation: "Everyone goes. You go to your house and I will go to my house. " Xu Mengru's witty answer not only did not irritate Yang Chen, but attracted him deeply. Later, through contact, otaku and otaku really became a sweet couple.
?
After the story spread, many leftover boys and girls asked Wei Jieduo to design some such scenes. By the end of 2009, Wei Jie's training camp had 1 10 members and more than 500 students. His monthly income is as high as 20 thousand yuan!
?
A person's voice plays a vital role in the process of chatting up. However, Wei Jie found that there were many "sissy" otaku in the training camp, and a chat-up would definitely scare the girls away! To this end, he specially invited a female college student majoring in broadcasting with sweet voice to practice her voice for the students. Introduced by a friend, Wei Jie invited Macci, who is engaged in personal image design in Guangzhou, to add a "fashion modeling class" to the chat-up training camp. The "lonely otaku" has become a fashionista, and he is much more confident when he goes out to chat up.
?
After systematic training in language skills, voice expression and image temperament, the last and most important one is actual combat training. Every weekend, Wei Jie will lead students out to "walk the streets and lanes" three or five times. For these otaku otaku girls, since attending the training camp, the boring streets in the past have changed their mentality and become an adventurous tropical jungle! Once they meet the right person, they are all ready to try. From the initial "no gain" to the final ease, the students gradually accumulated confidence in actual combat. Weijie Training Camp not only teaches faculty and staff chat skills, but also helps them to tap their charm, build confidence and broaden their social circle.
?
With more and more students signing up, the charging standard of training camp is getting higher and higher: 880 yuan, an ordinary member, mainly studies chat skills, as well as VIP special training camp and Platinum VIP private tailor-made class. After graduation, students can still take turns to speak in the QQ group of the training camp, talk about their recent chat-up experiences and dating stories, share their experiences with each other, and Wei Jie will make comments.
?
By April of 20 13, Wei Jie had successfully held more than 300 training camps, which made more than 2,000 students gain fruitful results on the road of love. Nowadays, he not only teaches people to chat up and date, but also is often invited to give lectures in colleges and universities to help college students overcome social barriers and develop interpersonal relationships.
?
In the past five years, Wei Jie has published four professional works, such as Improving the Energy of Love and China People Need to Talk to Learn, which raised more than two million yuan from the unpopular market with great potential, and was praised by the media as "the first person in Guangzhou to talk to"!
