Their 1,000 square metres of space is spread over two and a half floors. Feng Yiping pointed to the half-floor and said to the employees of the decoration company who had followed him, 'Decorate this half-floor first. The design company needs to be put to use as soon as possible,'
'What about the decoration plan?'
'I'll come up with one, and ask the design company to come up with one too. Wait a minute, some of my classmates will be here soon, let them come up with one too. Whose is better will be used,'
Huang Jingping came over, holding Jin Ling's hand. 'Do you want to decorate an office for you here?'
'That's fine,' Feng Yiping said, looking around. There was no problem leaving ten or so square metres for himself in such a large place. Although it seemed quite spacious and the rent was not high, it would be fine to have a bigger office, but it was possible that there would be teachers coming here frequently in the future, so it was not a good idea to be too conspicuous.
'It's necessary. Setting up an office here will save you running back and forth in the future, and it's convenient. If there are any more documents, I'll have them delivered,' Jin Ling also agreed.
'Is that a suite? Do you need to partition off a lounge?' The young man from the decoration company was also a quick thinker, and asked a follow-up question.
'That's fine,' Huang Jingping immediately agreed, 'in the future, if I'm tired at noon, there'll just be a place to take a nap,'
'You can set up a bathroom, and you can skip the lounge,' Feng Yiping firmly refused, 'the building opposite will be ready for occupancy in the second half of the year, so there's no need to bother with this,'
'Right, when we first arrived, we were talking about how the houses across the street would also be ready for occupancy on National Day,' Huang Jingping also remembered.
In fact, Feng Yiping had another reason for refusing. If they knew that he had a rest room here, would those people in the dormitory not want to pay for a room and bring their lovers here to borrow a place?
They would definitely do this with a clear conscience. At that time, would the rest room still be a rest room? A free clock hotel!
'The people assigned to set up the budget hotel were also based here in the early stages,' the car website manager said. The hotel won't be up and running anytime soon, but the space can't be left empty. One of the priorities for budget hotels this year is to develop the capital market. With the size and market capacity of the capital, it's a piece of cake to open a few dozen hotels, and there will be no shortage of people coming here.
'Sister Jin, take a look, some departments of the convenience store can also be moved here to work. The park will regularly organise training, and I hope that everyone who wants to listen can come. There seem to be a lot of activities like salons, and employees who want to learn more can come,'
before the words were finished, someone else came in.
It was quite lively when they arrived, and quite a few people came to say hello enthusiastically. And here come two more. 'Hello, congratulations! We are from Medi Bio downstairs, welcome!'
The instigator paid these people little heed, and once again Feng Yiping had to deal with the situation. 'Thank you! I'm Feng Yiping. Please look after me in the future!'
Seeing Jin Ling and Huang Jingping discussing how to arrange the office area on their own, the two people who had just come in were not discouraged. 'General Manager Feng, you're so young. What year did you graduate?'
'I won't graduate until three years from now,' Feng Yiping said with a smile.
'Oh, you're doing a postgraduate degree, that's tough, with the heavy workload and juggling company affairs. When we were doing our postgraduate degrees, we were in the lab every day, we didn't even have time to find girlfriends,'
'I'm a first-year undergraduate student, when did you graduate, senior?' It's not good for an undergraduate to pretend to be a postgraduate, so this needs to be explained clearly.
'Freshman?' The two men made sure they heard correctly, 'Did you also take a leave of absence? They really got off to a bad start. My junior, we're going to be honest with you, you need to be careful with this. Don't look at them now, they're doing OK, but you know about NASDAQ, the trends there will affect here sooner or later. By then, I'm afraid a lot of people won't be able to laugh.'
Jin Ling and Huang Jingping over there laughed when they heard him mention NASDAQ. He was the first to know about it.
As for what the senior brother said about starting off on the wrong foot, he was referring to the five founders of Yidufangzhou, who had just launched the much-hyped 'China Campus e-Solutions' in the lofty setting of the Great Hall of the People in the middle of last month. Later, they were collectively known as 'capitalist kids,'
and their founder, a postgraduate student at the school's Institute of Economic Research, took the lead in suspending his studies in order to run the company. At the time, it caused a stir at the school, but the outside world generally showered praise on them.
He was hailed as the first person in a Chinese university to take a break from his studies to start a business, and nowadays he is even more widely regarded as the Chinese version of Bill Gates. This is because in August last year, they received their first private investment of tens of millions of yuan, and the plans announced this year have also been praised by some famous people in the investment and cultural circles.
What this senior at Medy Bio said may also be true, because Yidufangzhou is also in the science and technology park. I believe that now they have inevitably been impacted by the bursting of the Internet bubble across the ocean.
Feng Yiping is not familiar with this company and doesn't know if they can survive this wave. Even if they do, it is estimated that their subsequent development will not be good because Feng Yiping has never heard of this company since.
It is estimated that in the next few months, there will be many companies closing down in the park because many of them are Internet-related 'high-tech' companies that are actually similar to the .COM companies across the ocean. They are also burning money, but because the investment they have attracted is limited, they are not as good as their counterparts in the United States.
'Thank you for your concern, but I dare not take a break from school. If I do, my parents will definitely break my legs. I want to do something while going to school,' Feng Yiping said with a smile, "Brother, what kind of research is your company doing now?'
'We graduated from the Department of Biological Science and Technology and returned from studying in the United States last year. The company is now researching anti-cancer drugs," he said. The department he mentioned was later renamed to sound more prestigious, 'School of Life Sciences.'
However, like the previous groups of people who came, the focus of his words should be on Jin Ling and the two women over there.
There was no way around it. Feng Yiping drove with the people from the decoration company, and Jin Ling and Huang Jingping both drove their own cars. Jin Ling's Ferrari in particular grabbed everyone's attention as soon as they entered. It was driven by a beautiful woman, and the other car, although low-key, was also a sports car, and it was also driven by a beautiful woman. This immediately became the topic of conversation.
A beautiful woman in a beautiful car – aren't these the goals of many heroes and entrepreneurs at this stage?
And these two girls in sports cars entered the same place. Isn't it normal for everyone around them, upstairs and downstairs, to come and say hello?
'Brother Feng is amazing!' Feng Yiping looked solemn and respectful. Anti-cancer drugs are indeed high-tech, but why does it sound so unreliable to me?
'It's still in the early stages of research, but the direction is clear, and results will be forthcoming soon. What about you? I've seen it, upstairs and downstairs, this is thousands of square meters, a very large scale, what are you going to do?'
'I don't have the same level of expertise as you guys, so I can only do something more traditional. I'm thinking of starting a design company,' Feng Yiping was nice enough to come to their door, and they would be seeing each other in the future, so he couldn't ignore them, and just spoke with them in a perfunctory manner.
Just then, the cavalry arrived. Xiao Cai brought along a few female classmates, followed by the ones from Feng Yiping's dormitory, who also came to visit.
'Haha, the design is not bad either. You go ahead, we'll support each other in the future,' the two said with a smile as they bid Feng Yiping farewell. Although he was a little disappointed that he hadn't been able to speak to the two girls in the sports car, there was still plenty of time for that.
'Wow, Boss Feng is really generous, taking such a large place at once. Oh, hello Jingping! Hello, Mr Jin!' Cai praised Feng as soon as they met, and greeted the two people over there, whom he had also met before, as soon as he saw them.
'Does a design company really need such a large space?' Jin Bao and Liang Yonggao went downstairs to take a look.
'The downstairs area is intended for another company, so the design company will be here for the time being. Cai, don't be upset. Look at this place. Are you interested in creating a design plan? From the overall layout to the specific zoning, as well as the style of office desks and chairs, if you are interested, you can do it all. If the plan is good, the next renovation will be done according to your wishes.'
They were a little disappointed to hear that there were only 200 square metres, but they were very interested in the topic that Feng Yiping had raised. It was rare to have the opportunity to have someone follow their own plan, even after graduation and entering the workforce. 'Really?'
'More real than real gold. You can join forces with students from other majors. But you need to hurry, because our design department is also working on a plan,' Feng Yiping said with a smile.
'Thank you Yiping, thank you for giving us this opportunity! Then let's get started right away. Do you still have the keys? Give me one, I want to bring someone to see the site,' Xiao Cai immediately got into the swing of things.
Feng Yiping just loves this enthusiasm from his classmates!
Jinbao next to him gave him a thumbs-up, 'No wonder you're a capitalist, you're really smart! You let them work for free and they actually want to thank you for giving them this opportunity!'
'Money comes first in everything, boss. With an awareness like yours, I can see that your philosophy class was really average,'
