Chapter 480: Chapter 480: Are you in?
'Yiping, don't go,' After class, Feng Yiping, who had to go to the company, was not stopped by the tutor, but was blocked by Jinbao.
He was looking for Feng Yiping, of course, for the sake of the Entrepreneurship Club. As for why he was so concerned about the Entrepreneurship Club, the main reason was to increase his comprehensive strength, or rather, to balance it, to directly create opportunities to get in touch with girls, and ultimately, the main purpose was to be able to have a happy love affair or several love affairs in college.
It has to be said that he is only of average appearance, but in order to look back on his life without remorse for having wasted his university years, he is really trying hard so that he can be proud of having had a few solid relationships during those years.
As expected, his first words were, 'Don't go, come with me to the Academy of Fine Arts to find Xiao Cai. This semester is almost over, and it's the official start of the second year. We have to decide what projects to work on now.'
'Boss, your enthusiasm makes me feel ashamed, but our main task now is still studying, you haven't got the focus wrong, have you?' Feng Yiping reminded him with a smile.
'Don't worry about that, I'll show you my strength once again in this final exam. Don't make excuses, Yonggao should already be waiting over there,' he said, pushing Feng Yiping towards the Academy of Fine Arts.
The Academy of Fine Arts and the School of Management are very close to each other, separated only by a building. So when they were merged last year, the wolves from the School of Management would come here to take in the scenery whenever they had nothing better to do. Liang Yonggao was able to catch up with Xiao Cai so quickly because of this geographical advantage.
Xiao Cai, who was downstairs to meet them, had good connections and took them to the office of a teacher. Liang Yonggao was indeed waiting here, with the last few proposals everyone had worked on on the table.
After several site visits, following the bookstore, Xiao Cai and the others also dismissed the idea of opening an audio-visual store. This idea, again, seemed beautiful but was very difficult to implement.
In the end, apart from the dry cleaners mentioned by Feng Yiping, the only other options were a restaurant and a bicycle store.
However, Feng Yiping, who was visiting the Academy of Fine Arts for the first time, did not want to focus on these.
Don't think that the Academy of Fine Arts is mainly about painting just because it is called the Academy of Fine Arts. You would be very wrong.
The predecessor of the Academy of Arts and Design of Tsinghua University was the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts, which actually placed more emphasis on design, or it would be more appropriate to call it a design college.
Since its establishment in 1956, it has been the founder and pioneer of Chinese design and represents the highest level of Chinese design.
It was ranked 7th among the world's top 60 design schools and has undoubtedly ranked first in Chinese design for many years.
So, unlike other art academies, seven of her ten departments are design-related, with only one department each for painting, sculpture and art history.
And first-class design talent? Come on, isn't that exactly what Feng Yiping wants? Not to mention all the other projects he has in mind, such as Jiasheng Decoration, Youjia Convenience, Frontier Magazine and the website he is preparing to launch.
'Cai, what do you think of the idea I mentioned to you last time, of designing it ourselves and then having it manufactured by someone else?'
'I like it, of course, but you mentioned it once and then there was no follow-up. These days, I can't even find you,'
Feng Yiping heard this and smiled wryly. Fortunately, among the four people present, there was her boyfriend Liang Yonggao, otherwise this remark would definitely be misunderstood.
'There's nothing I can do, I'm just a hard worker,' Feng Yiping said to himself with a self-deprecating remark, "but I've always been concerned about this matter. I just haven't figured out exactly what to do. A while ago, I still hadn't made up my mind, but now I've finally made a decision.'
'What haven't you figured out about what to do?" Xiao Cai asked, and Jin Bao and Liang Yonggao also looked over.
In their minds, what could be so difficult about it? If you want to start a bicycle store and design your own model, just do it. It's a simple matter. A comprehensive national first-class science and engineering school can handle this with ease.
'It's like this. I already have some design plans that I think are quite good, but I just don't have the time or energy to perfect them. As long as the follow-up work is done well, I'm not bragging, but it's not impossible to go to Germany and win a red dot award.
To be honest, I'm a little reluctant to just put such an original plan out there.
When the era of Internet Plus was emerging, it was also the time when everything was about looks and had reached its peak. It wasn't just the actresses who could get by with just a pretty face; the same went for the male stars. No matter how ridiculous the plot was and no matter how amateurish the acting was, as long as they had a pretty face, they would have fans and box office success.
Later, this trend gradually spread to all aspects, including food, clothing, housing and transportation. No matter what it is, it has to be good-looking.
At that time, the tentacles of Internet companies also involved all aspects. For example, some websites vigorously developed the breeding industry, specifically pig farming.
Of course, that was not the point. At that time, Internet companies, under the banner of intelligence, stirred up many industries. For a while, Internet companies that could not produce mobile phones were not good home appliance factories.
In addition to the mobile phone and home appliance industries, which everyone rushed into, they also ambitiously entered the personal transportation industry. There were bicycles and electric bicycles that were still ridden by humans under the banner of intelligence, and of course there were also electric vehicles under the banner of intelligence.
There were modules for this and modules for that, navigation, heart rate measurement, social networking, sharing, and other functions... But in the end, none of these so-called intelligent functions solved the pain points of consumers, they were just gimmicks.
For example, the so-called navigation function. Please, with an electric car that only has a range of a few dozen kilometres, how far do you plan to ride it? Do you think it's a Tesla?
And what about social media and sharing? In the end, you still have to use your phone for a lot of things. Can't I just use my phone? How convenient!
But apart from these drawbacks, there is one thing you have to admit: the appearance of these products is really not bad!
Now that these smart gimmicks are not possible, it's just as well that all the useless functions have been removed and the most basic functions have been restored.
The solutions that became popular later, which Feng Yiping remembers, are definitely able to dazzle a group of people's 24-carat gold dog eyes.
The Red Dot Award, Jin Bao and Liang Yonggao don't know, but Cai, a student in the industrial design department, certainly understands. 'What is the solution that makes you so confident?'
'There are both motorcycles and electric cars. I really don't mean to brag, but I think they're really good. So I thought, why not set up a design company, and locate it in the university science park, so that students with the ability and interest can work part-time there,' Feng Yiping said, revealing his idea.
'Rent an office in the science park?' The three of them brightened up at the mere mention of it.
Tsinghua Science Park was founded in 1994 and was one of the first university science parks recognised by the state, and is now the only Class A university science park.
This year, the government has set higher standards for the Zhongguancun Science Park, with the aim of turning it into China's Silicon Valley. Tsinghua Science Park is geographically located within Zhongguancun Science Park, and working there is a pretty cool thing to do.
Many internationally renowned companies have set up research institutes here, and later some giants' China headquarters were also set up here, such as Google.
'What you mean is that the intellectual property rights of the designs completed in your plan will ultimately belong to your company, which is actually asking some students at the school to work for you, right!' Xiao Cai said.
That's my goal. 'I'd rather say we're working together,' Feng Yiping said with a smile. 'In fact, I also have a very well-developed decoration company with a good level of design. You've been to my home before, and the design of my home was done by my company. This decoration company also needs design talent, as does my software company and website.
'Yiping, I don't think this is a problem at all. You are actually providing your classmates with a great opportunity to work part-time and gain practical experience. I think many of them will want to join,' Jinbao said.
'I studied electronics, and although I'm still taking basic courses, I'm considered a professional. Can I join?' Liang Yonggao asked immediately.
There was no way. In fact, when he was at school, he was most eager to go out and work.
'Of course you can. Motorcycles and electric cars can't do without electronic systems,' Feng Yiping gave him a definite answer.
He hopes that through this design company, people from all majors at the school will be attracted, not just those from the School of Design, but also from other majors such as automotive engineering, aerospace engineering, electronic engineering, computer science, and the School of Software...
'As long as the plan you come up with is excellent and attractive, I think I will be very interested, and there must be quite a few people like me,' Xiao Cai and Feng Yiping have dealt with each other a few times and know his temperament. He is not the type of person who likes to brag, so he really believes that the plan he is talking about must be very good.
'However, it seems that our focus today is not on that, is it?' Jinbao, who is studying philosophy, suddenly felt a little let down.
