Open business day-to-day

Chapter 4 Office

Having decided to start a business and chosen a direction, Lin Rui won't be tomorrow after tomorrow, there are so many tomorrows.

Otherwise, if he skipped class for a while without a valid reason, the counselor might want to talk to him.

Lin Rui is still very serious in his work, and immediately reduced the time for coding, and began to collect information in this regard.

This search really allowed him to discover a lot of good things. In the past two years, the country has begun to encourage innovation and entrepreneurship among the masses, and many of them are about supporting college students to start businesses.

Although many of them are official articles, they are after all the policies set by the state.

In addition, I also found an article on the official website of my school, the University of Los Angeles, in response to the call of the superiors, encouraging and supporting the students of this school to start their own businesses.

Looking at the date in October 09, Lin Rui really remembered October last year. It seemed that someone had mentioned this matter, but he didn't pay attention to it at the time, and there was no further text after that.

It's not surprising when you think about it. Los Angeles is an inland city. Compared with the coast, it is still a bit traditional. There are really few people who go out to start a business after college.

It is estimated that the school sees that the propaganda effect is not great, so it is just a formality.

Lin Rui read the content of the article carefully, and found that there were more articles aimed at fresh graduates, but relatively few aimed at college students.

There are really many benefits.

First, it is more convenient to ask for leave, and the class time is also relaxed a lot.

Second, you can apply for low-interest loans for college students to start a business.

The third is that there are many preferential policies, such as tax relief and so on.

Lin Rui didn't care too much about starting a business at first, and mainly focused on writing novels. Starting a business was also for the convenience of skipping classes and taking leave, and by the way, he developed a useful writing software for himself.

Seeing this information, I was suddenly moved.

In fact, starting a company is quite fun, even more interesting than writing a novel. I really have the idea of ​​starting a company seriously.

He studied the process of applying for a college student to start a business. With the status of a college student, applying for a business is not only convenient, but also has many benefits.

Not only are there various tax breaks, but the government and schools also provide low-interest loans.

This made him feel again that he needed to take entrepreneurship seriously.

No matter how well a novel is written, he can see the upper limit at a glance, and it is impossible for him to write novels all his life.

To start your own company, as long as you choose the right industry and add a systematic reward system, your development potential will be endless.

Lin Rui's mobility is good, and some supporting documents, copies, and application forms can be completed in two days.

The development direction has been determined, and the project application is naturally easy to write.

At the moment, I used my brain and spent half a day to write out a colorful project plan and an application for a low-interest loan for starting a business. What if it is approved!
It has been carefully revised several times. Although the project is relatively unpopular, after careful analysis, the possibility of success is very high, and it does not require too advanced technology.

Take these things and go directly to the counselor Lao Liu.

Although Lao Liu is called Lao Liu, he is not old at all. He is only 28 years old this year. His name is Liu Yu, and he is a doctoral candidate in our school.

He started working as an instructor the year before last. Lin Rui and the others were the first class of students he led. Although they don't talk much, they are very responsible for these students. Usually, they are eager to help any student encountering difficulties.

The reason why Lin Rui looked for him was mainly because he found out on the school's official website that the person in charge of Luo University's entrepreneurship for college students is the doctoral supervisor of the instructor Liu Yu.

He is also responsible for reviewing the low-interest loans for college students starting businesses at the school.

With this kind of shortcut, by the way, you can also report to the instructor, how not to use it.

As expected, things went smoothly, and the instructor Liu Yu agreed to go to his instructor to talk about it, so don't get stuck in any link, and Lin Rui was in a good mood for a while.

Moreover, now that he has money in his hand, it is still a huge sum of 10,000+ for him, and he feels a little itchy.

Although I know that there are many places to spend money in my next business, I dare not spend it recklessly, but I have to spend some money.

Since I want to start a company, as a start-up company, a small company with only one polished commander, I want to recruit reliable talents when I have no strength.

It is necessary to show the development potential of the company, and the superficial effort must be sufficient.

This is important!

Therefore, Lin Rui had to go to the business district near the school and find a hypermarket.Under the guidance of the shopping guide, I chose a suitable light blue suit, added a shirt and tie, and finally bought a pair of leather shoes. The set added up to more than 8000 and went out.

He put on the whole outfit directly in the mall, carried the changed clothes in a shopping bag, walked out of the mall, took a taxi, and went straight to the car rental company.

Since you want to start a business, run a company well.It needs to be taken seriously and strategically.

To open a company and recruit people as an ordinary college student, one must dress up one's face, have clothes, and a suitable car is also essential.

Self-use is one aspect, and employees should also have a look at it to have more confidence in the company.

All the way to the car rental company, Lin Rui walked around inside, chose a brand new white Audi A4, the rent was 380 a day, paid the deposit, went through the formalities, and drove the car out carefully.

So far, there are only a little over 12 left on the card.

With this little start-up capital, we still need to rent an office, buy office furniture, computers, and recruit people.

It's really stressful, so I have to save money.

He touched the wallet, and there was an ICBC credit card in it. Last year, the bank came to the school to promote, and it waived the annual fee and distributed some small items. Lin Rui felt itchy, so he applied for one.

At the beginning, there was a quota of 3000, and he didn't use it much at ordinary times. Last year, the quota was increased once.

This month, he sent a manuscript fee and received a system reward.The quota has been increased again, to 8000.

I have been doing it for a year, and now the credit card is finally useful. When the money in the card is used up, I can swipe the credit card to save the emergency.

Lin Rui slowly drove on the main road. He took the driver's license test last summer, and he was a novice, and he had never driven a car before.In addition to taking the driver's license test and learning to drive, this is the first time to drive in a real sense. I can only be cautious first, and there is no big mistake in being careful.

I drove the car along the main road to an open space, and started to move forward, back, turn, reverse, and practiced.

After practicing for more than an hour, I became a little familiar with the car, at least if I walked slowly, I could drive normally.

I drove to a nearby gas station to fill up the gas, checked the time, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon, and I randomly found a small restaurant nearby to eat.

When you are in a good mood, you can see everything.At this moment, the boss's greeting sounded so warm and sincere to him.

I saw myself in a suit and leather shoes in the mirror opposite, wearing a decent suit and shiny leather shoes, adding a sense of stability.

Coupled with the Audi A4 parked in front of the small restaurant, a picture of the peaceful years unfolds, but the mentality is actually a little swollen.

This is nothing, the first step of the Long March, how many wonderful scenery are waiting behind!
……

Another few days passed, and he still didn't go to class these days.

Fortunately, the instructor already knew that he wanted to start his own business, so besides persuading him to be cautious and steady.He also began to explain to those lecturers and professors why Lin Rui was absent from class.

Although he didn't think he could make a name for himself, the absence from class was finally over!
Lin Rui gave the instructor a big thumbs-up in his heart, and finally felt relieved, and now he can skip class in a fair manner.

……

With the help of the mentor Liu Yu, the application for starting a business went smoothly and passed quickly.It is even possible for Lin Rui to get a low-interest loan for starting a business, but it will take longer.

In addition to the fixed coding time these days, he is busy registering companies and looking for office space every day. Registering a company is easier, just go through a process.

Moreover, with the cloak of college students entrepreneurship and the support of the city's policies, many processes have been simplified and accelerated.

Finding an office space is a bit difficult for him. It's not that the house is not easy to rent. There are many rental houses and facades near the school.

Even in the school, the instructor said that as long as you work hard, you can find a room for free as an office space, and it will be fine for a period of time.

However, Lin Rui felt that these places were too restrictive. If he wanted to develop in the future, it was easy to find part-time jobs for students, but it was difficult to recruit regular employees.

When others see it founded by college students, the workplace is simple and the scale is small, it will give people the impression of a small cottage workshop.

Anyone with a little ability and self-confidence would not choose to come here.Even incompetent people have a hard time choosing in the face of such a precarious company.

Lin Rui wandered around the school for two days, but he still couldn't find an office that caught his eye.

Gritting his teeth for the last time, he finally decided to take a look at a business district three kilometers away from the school. There seemed to be a lot of high-end office buildings for rent nearby.

When Lin Rui started the car and touched the bank card in his pocket, he felt a little lack of confidence.

With a total of more than 12 venture capital, I just want to rent a somewhat high-end office, plus purchase office furniture and computers.There are also employee salaries and operating funds, which are a bit whimsical no matter how you look at it.

Lin Rui could only sigh helplessly in his heart, "Fortunately, I have a system. As long as the company survives in front of it, the company's basic expenses can always be maintained when the system reward funds are released next month."

Without this guarantee, he would never dare to deal with this kind of behavior of living without money. He has never seen a large foreign company start a business, and they all work in the garage!

When he arrived at the place, Lin Rui wandered around casually, chose a building that best suited his eyes, and walked in.

In fact, it's just because this building is the tallest among the nearby buildings and looks the most fashionable in appearance.For a dog like Lin Rui, if he has eyes, he just looks good.

This building is called Lanhai Building. Lin Rui found the management office of this building, and under the guidance of the staff, he came all the way to the property office in charge of the leasing business.

Just finished the introduction, explained the purpose of coming, and chatted a few words.

Next to him, a young man in a suit and leather shoes walked over quickly, and said to Lin Rui, "Dude, are you renting an office? Come on, I'll show you a good place!"

As he spoke, he enthusiastically wanted to greet Lin Rui, but Lin Rui was dumbfounded. Are the office staff so enthusiastic?

The person sitting inside suddenly knocked on the table and said: "Fengyuan, pay attention to the impact, the conditions are almost enough, how many times is this the first time? You haven't sublet it yet!"

Yang Fengyuan was a little shameless, he laughed and said: "Old Wang, isn't there nothing I can do? I still rely on this for the staff's last month's salary, and you know the office conditions, it is absolutely good!"

Old Wang said helplessly: "You are doing this every day, and I am also very embarrassed, and the boss is watching."

Having said that, Lao Wang bowed slightly to Lin Rui and said, "Mr. Lin, I'm sorry, I made you laugh."

Then he pointed to Yang Fengyuan and said, "This is my good buddy. After graduating from university, he went to BJ for a few years and wanted to start a business after he came back."

"At that time, there was a foreign company in our building, which rented an office as an office. It was canceled after a few months of establishment, and some facilities and office furniture in it were also disposed of at a low price to our building property."

"This foreign company sells fashion and light luxury products, and the office decoration is very tasteful. At that time, I knew that this kid was going to start a business, so I notified him immediately."

"Later, I owed a few favors and said a lot of good things. Finally, I asked him to add some money and rent some of the things and office furniture in the rent. I didn't expect his company to last a year. Now, even the wages of employees cannot be paid.”

"The office is on the 18th floor, with a total of 281 square meters. The agreed lease is signed once a year, with a monthly rent of 18000, and a year of 21, paid every six months."

"There are still two and a half months until the rent is due. If you are interested, you can follow him to take a look. The decoration of the office is really good."

Hearing this, Lin Rui also became a little curious, greeted Lao Wang, and followed Yang Fengyuan upstairs to see the office.

This building has a total of 33 floors, which is not too low in the entire city of Los Angeles.

Since it is not in the city center, it is one of the tallest buildings in the vicinity, and it feels a little like seeing all the mountains.

For Los Angeles, a third-tier city in the mainland in 2010, the monthly rent was [-] square meters for an area of ​​less than [-] square meters and it was not located in the city center, which was indeed very expensive.

However, according to office standards, this kind of building is a Grade A office building, and the rent includes some office furniture and facilities, as well as property fees.

Judging by what they mean, the office decoration is very fashionable and luxurious.

Otherwise, it will not be sublet, and it is not worth the price.

When the elevator reached the 18th floor, Lin Rui followed Yang Fengyuan into the office, and suddenly felt a bright light in his eyes.

Concise and stylish European style, smooth marble floor, minimalist walls in Western Europe.

Stylish and luxurious office furniture and a wide variety of supplies are worthy of being the former offices of foreign light luxury companies.

The decorations everywhere are very stylish, fashionable and elegant, and there are many green plants, which add a lot of spring atmosphere.

Lin Rui had to admit that the office was well decorated.

The windows are bright and clean, with a wide view, and a sense of stylish luxury, which makes people fall in love with it at a glance.

Imagine yourself working here, basking in the sun, drinking tea, overlooking the bustling people outside the window, enjoying the quiet leisure in the afternoon, it is really a very enjoyable thing.

The layout of the office is also good. There is a suite of more than 40 square meters, which is used as the boss's office.

There is also a small conference room of more than 20 square meters; two cubicles of more than ten square meters separated by frosted glass are for finance and personnel.

There is a tea room of more than 20 square meters, which is equipped with snacks, drinks, several game consoles and two sets of sofa coffee tables, which belong to the benefits of employees.

These add up to about 130 square meters.

The rest is an open comprehensive office area with a size of 150 square meters and more than 20 workstations. It is very modern and fashionable, with a harmonious artistic beauty.

Lin Rui visited the layout of the entire office. This minimalist and modern style in Western Europe is really amazing, and it has a better feeling than the tall office seen on TV.

This decoration taste is really not something that ordinary companies can afford.

Especially start-up companies are the ones who spend their money in half, and they are most particular about practicality.Isn't he good for making all these fancy money and developing the company!
Lin Rui also often claims to be a person with style, although it is hard to say whether it is true or not, but as a handsome dog, he naturally likes beautiful things, what's the problem?

If you don't have the money to decorate the office like this, if you have the opportunity to rent it out, you can try it out.

It is indeed a pleasure to imagine myself working or coding in such an environment every day.

Make up your mind now and try to get it if you can.
