Dressed as a cannon fodder substitute for a beautiful president

There is no need to waste time arguing to persuade the team members, the BP work is progressing smoothly, and the progress that was left behind is gradually recovered.

But Qi Zheng, as the team leader, still has to urge each team member to complete the part he is responsible for in time, and also coordinate everyone's different opinions.

"Qi, you work in Shen's President's Office, and you have participated in the negotiation of many important projects. If you take out some data models, wouldn't it be more convenient for us to modify the data in them?"

This is not the first time this topic has been brought up, Qizheng refuses without hesitation every time.The reason is simple, this is Shen's business secret, she can't disclose it at will, even if there is only a model without real data, she is unwilling to tell others the information she came into contact with in the secretary's office.

"You are too stubborn. Business is not scientific research. You need to adapt appropriately." The classmate shook his head and spread his hands, sighing, "You really should work for a few more years. Proper training is indeed necessary."

The implication is that Qi Zheng doesn't know how to handle things smoothly enough and doesn't know how to be flexible.

The average working experience of the students in the class is about five years, and the highest is even nearly eight years. In the eyes of these people, Qi Zheng is indeed a newcomer.

Such doubts have been faintly present since she entered school, but Qizheng's grades and classroom performance are nothing to criticize, so no one takes this as an issue.When it came to the final big assignment, when strong coordination and balance skills were needed, they finally seized the opportunity and magnified it infinitely.

"Keeping business secrets and safeguarding the interests of the company are principles rather than experience. I think this is only related to people's character and philosophy, and will not change because of the increase in working hours."

That classmate was an Indian who went to study in the United States as an undergraduate. After graduation, he went to work in Silicon Valley for a few years and then came to study for an MBA. He wanted to seek opportunities for promotion.Usually before the group discussion, he has the most opinions. He lists various plans and ideas one after another. When it is time for a group meeting or homework to be handed in, his phone will never be answered in time.

This time, I thought he would be the team leader based on his qualifications and positive performance, but he didn't expect Qi Zheng to be the team leader in the end.

When Qizheng said this, his face turned ugly, and he couldn't explain anything forcefully, after all, he really wanted to take advantage of it.

After hesitating for a while, I finally found a way for myself: "Although it is a big assignment, it can't really be regarded as a job. After all, there are no resources and time."

This is true, almost all the students come from well-known companies.The advantage of a large company is that it has a large platform and sufficient resources, and it is true that they do not need to do everything by themselves.

But Qizheng cherishes this opportunity very much. If she wants to start a business, she has to start from a low level.No matter how insignificant the opportunity is, she can't let it go. She can only rely on herself for many jobs, and she has to adapt to multiple role changes.

Just like now, facing the doubts and dissatisfaction of the team members, she is also different from the past in keeping a low profile and keeping silent to avoid conflicts as a means of resolution.

Qizheng still kept a decent smile: "It's not work, but it's more important than work at this time. The hard work of the past year or so has been used to show the results. If such a good opportunity is missed, it will be worse than ordinary work mistakes." Frustrating."

This achievement will definitely be included in the resume in the future, and no one wants to get a C for this job that is closest to the real business environment.

After the meeting, Li Yunshan laughed wantonly, and walked to the small wonton shop with Qizheng: "I'm so happy to see him slackened. He usually talks so much, and he doesn't want to do one job. Fortunately, he can figure it out and let you Taking out the calculation model in Shen’s, I suspect that all the projects he did in the company before were taken.”

"In the future, there will definitely be people like this. We just need to stick to our principles. We can't control what happens to others. We can only work hard to make ourselves stronger. We can choose not to work with such people."

Li Yunshan laughed even louder: "You are right! You must work hard to be your own boss, and when you meet such a person, just say noway!"

Qizheng is already a regular customer of this store, and her tastes are basically fixed, so that as soon as she walked into the store, the proprietress smiled and nodded at her, and she knew what she was eating today.

"The homework has basically been settled, and it's time to officially start the business." Qizheng sent her business plan to the mailboxes of several angel investors last week, hoping to get a response.

"Have you submitted the venture capital application for University B? I heard that this year's competition is quite fierce."

"I have sent all the materials that can apply, and hope to get a reply next week."

Qizheng was also a little nervous about this. This was the first time she had contacted these venture capital funds in her own name.

"But Neil Consulting also sent you an interview notice, are you still going?"

Neil Consulting is one of the top five well-known consulting companies in the United States. In recent years, it has vigorously developed the Asian market. It just moved its Asia-Pacific headquarters from Hong Kong to Haicheng the year before last.

"Go, in case the venture capital fails, at least make sure that you are not unemployed after graduation."

Now that he has already mentioned to Shen Zhibing that he wants to stay in the United States, whether it is work or starting a business, Qi Zheng has made plans for himself.Besides, she also had to pay back Shen's tuition fees.

Li Yunshan bit her spoon and thought for a while, then realized: "I used to always feel that you were a little different after you came back from the last vacation, and now I know exactly what has changed."

Qi Zheng took a bite of the scallion pancake, a little curious, not only did Zhuang Muqing say that, she really wanted to hear it.

"Before you were always a little sad, and you couldn't tell what was wrong, but you were not as energetic as you are now. If you told me at that time that you wanted to start a business, I would definitely persuade you to reconsider."

Qizheng listened silently, but she didn't feel such a big change in herself.But the mentality is indeed different. Now she can devote herself more to doing what she wants to do.

"Looks like a good change."

"Absolutely."

It was already one o'clock in the morning when Qi Zheng finished her homework.She moved her neck a few times, and clicked on the mailbox to see if there was any response to the business application that she sent out before.I have been mentally prepared before, but I have received very few replies in the past week, and most of them are nothing.

Occasionally received replies, but also declined.

There are too many people in the world who want to start a business, and she also knows that she will not be the lucky one, but she still doesn't want to give up.

Deciding to study for an MBA at the beginning was definitely a correct decision. Here she met classmates from different industries and fields, as well as professors with unique insights into business theory. More importantly, she had the alumni resources of the Business School of B University.

This is not something that can be bought with hundreds of thousands of dollars. Qizheng's ambition is nourished here and gradually grows.She admitted that Shen Zhibing had provoked her, but after she calmed down, she knew that she did not do such a thing for anyone.

She hopes to walk out of her own path, only then will she have the ability to truly choose.

With such a firm goal, it seems that I am not so disappointed when I see the rejected email.To be exact, she didn't give herself too much time to be sad, and had to race against time to find the next opportunity.

What she wants to do is to provide integration assistance for the group of foreign students who have just arrived in the United States, especially the younger ones.It is not renting a house, making friends, or even illegal assignments that are popular in the market today.

She focuses on how young people adapt to an unfamiliar cultural environment when they first arrive, and how to complete rapid and natural transformation under high-intensity learning pressure.This was an insurmountable obstacle for her, let alone those children who had just grown up.

But currently there are very few people who provide such services, or even none, but it cannot be said that there are no such services at all. They are just fragmented and scattered in various projects.The first thing Qizheng needs to do is to integrate, first integrate the basic projects into a closed loop, and then optimize.

She shared her idea with a few Chinese classmates, and everyone agreed that there is indeed a market demand for it, but she also objectively pointed out that the target customer group is not large, and it is difficult to gain early trust.

Who would feel at ease to hand over their children to a company or institution that they don't understand to help them integrate?

For this reason, Qizheng revised the original plan. She changed the first group of customers from those who came to study alone to those who were accompanied by their parents.

Li Yunshan looked at her latest modified version and thought for a while: "It's possible, but you have to convince two clients."

Qi Zheng laughed. In fact, the target customer is still the same, but they have become parents.

Seeing that Li Yunshan still had doubts, she continued to explain: "Parents who accompany students are generally in relatively good financial conditions and are able to purchase such services. Being able to come to accompany students shows that they care more about their children's lives and can impress them. Naturally, they don't have to worry about word of mouth. .”

Li Yunshan thinks it makes sense, parents actually have their own small circle.When encountering good things, we must share and recommend each other as soon as possible.Their service itself is niche, so there is no need to advertise extensively.

"Targeted in-depth is better than exhaustive."

Qizheng revised his thinking, adjusted and explained several important parts, and sent the new version of the proposal to several new funds.

She noticed that she recently came to University B to promote the Lemon Fund. The amount provided is not too high but the application threshold is low, which has attracted great attention.

However, there were very few introductions about the Lemon Fund, which made Qi Zheng unable to start, so he could only send the proposal to the mailbox on the brochure.

Li Yunshan originally planned to stay in the United States after graduation. After hearing about Qi Zheng's business plan, she became interested and planned to venture out together.

"This lemon fund looks weird. It seems that I haven't invested in anyone before. Could it be a lie to the idea?"

Qizheng also had such concerns, but after all, it was an opportunity, and she didn't want to miss it.

"The initial submission is just a framework, and the specific data is not complete. Besides, our product is to be implemented, and we have to integrate resources. It is not worthwhile to steal the idea."

Indeed, this is not an "Internet project" suitable for high-speed replication. After the capital is taken, we still have to find someone to do it.

"It's too bad that it can't be copied quickly. Don't you know that capital likes chickens that can lay eggs in a short period of time, preferably every day."

Qizheng comforted her with a smile: "That's why we have to try more, maybe we will meet investors who are not so eager for quick success."

Qizheng herself did not expect that three days later, she received a reply from Lemon Fund, saying that she was very interested in her business plan and wanted to know more about it.

She was checking her mailbox in a daze, but now she woke up instantly, and immediately got up to call Li Yunshan.

"Qizheng, you are sleepwalking in the middle of the night, thinking of me the first time, right?"

"Yunshan, the Lemon Fund has written me back, we have a chance!"
