Hangzhou University of Science and Technology.

Su Yuxiang's home.

"Look at how skinny you are, eat more."

On the dining table, the food in Zhou Ming's bowl was piled to the top. Su Yuxiang on the side kept adding vegetables to his bowl, telling him to eat more and grow more meat.

"Xiao Zhou, I heard that Yuxiang said that you want to start a business and open a company?" Song Yaqin, who was sitting opposite, asked, with a curious look on her face.

"Yes, Auntie, I plan to start a career and make more money." Zhou Ming stopped his chopsticks and nodded.

"Do you have enough funds to start a business? Do you want a loan? If you don't have enough funds, I can borrow some."

Song Yaqin looked happy. Xiao Zhou was finally willing to do something down-to-earth. In the past, in her eyes, Xiao Zhou was very smart, but he had no fixed job and was always idle. Although he participated in "The Strongest Brain" and won He has paid more than a million in appearance fees, but he cannot continue like this.

Today, Song Yaqin suddenly learned that he was going to start a business. Song Yaqin was still very happy. Secondly, she was worried about his financial problems. Many entrepreneurs failed, not because of lack of ability, but mostly because of financial problems, and eventually gave up halfway.

Xiao Zhou is so smart, Song Yaqin is not worried that he will not succeed, but is worried that he does not have sufficient financial preparations.

"The funds are sufficient. I have prepared 30 million yuan on hand. There is no shortage..." Before Zhou Ming could finish speaking, Su Yuxiang next to him touched him with her feet and signaled him not to say more.

thirty million?

Song Yaqin was startled when she heard this number. Su Qingrong next to her also opened her eyes wide, put down her chopsticks, and tried to digest the information.

Song Yaqin immediately asked: "Thirty...thirty million, Xiao Zhou, where did you get so much money? Is it your own?"

"No, Zhou Ming only contributed a small part, and most of the others were contributed by his partner. That person was very rich and optimistic about Zhou Ming's project, so they formed a partnership together." Su Yuxiang helped smooth the situation and gave Zhou Ming put a big piece of fat meat in his bowl and told him to talk less and eat more meat.

"Oh, I see."

Song Yaqin nodded, but still said: "For those who start a company as a partnership, most of them will break up in the future. If there is really a problem with the funds, Mom can borrow it from here. If it is not enough, the worst possible scenario is to mortgage the house to get a loan."

Zhou Ming's eyes warmed slightly when he heard this, and he repeatedly said that there would be no problem with the funds, it was definitely enough.

Su Yuxiang next to her also showed a hint of shame. Zhou Ming went to Omen to gamble and won more than 100 million, but he only told her one thing. Faced with this huge sum of money, no matter how strong her mental quality was, it would be hard to see When I saw the long series of numbers on the bank's black card, I couldn't help but feel my breath stagnate, and my heart started to beat faster.

150 million (tax deducted). Based on her salary of less than 10,000 yuan a month for teaching in a school, it would take more than 1,200 years of teaching to earn it, right?

Right in front of you now?

Grab it quickly, she wants to help keep it!

Of course, Su Yuxiang did this not because she was greedy for money. She wanted to use this method to catch the man who was completely lost in the dream and prevent him from breaking away.

And that night, after the two of them had a heart-to-heart talk with each other, after hearing the miserable story, Su Yuxiang became jealous and hated the woman who had stolen his man's heart! On the other hand, I also hate myself for not being able to enter that kind of dreamland, so I can only worry outside.

Fortunately, two days ago, the man finally figured it out and apologized to her. The two of them reconciled and even became more disgusting in the eyes of others.

Now that Zhou Ming wants to start a business, she also supports it 300%. As for whether the business will fail? She said she had never considered this issue at all, she only knew that she would definitely make a lot of money.

You must know that the technology in her man's mind is five hundred years ahead of today's world. He can win the GDP of a small country even by casually visiting casinos around the world.

In short, this man is almost awesome.

"Daughter, Xiao Zhou wants to start a business. He may not be able to handle it alone. Why don't you quit your job as a university professor and help Xiao Zhou start a business? There is a bright future in starting a business. Being a teacher for a lifetime is not as good as being a big boss for a month. You make a lot of money." At this time, Su Qingrong said, he felt that the Su family's cultural heritage was not lacking, but what was lacking was money.

"this……"

Su Yuxiang's face was a little embarrassed. It wasn't that she didn't want to help Zhou Ming, but that she was really not good at many things in business.

"No need, Yuxiang has things she likes to do. Things in the mall are not suitable for her. She can just take care of the logistics."

Zhou Ming said that for starting a business, one head at the top of the company is much better than two heads, and mom-and-pop shops are the most likely to cause trouble.

Su Yuxiang glanced at him, pouted, and said in her heart: I not only want to be your logistics manager, but I also want to supervise you!

She has no control over the woman in the dream, but in reality, don’t even think about someone stealing his heart!

…

In the next ten days or so, Zhou Ming embarked on his entrepreneurial journey and was so busy that he could barely touch the ground.

First, go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to register a company with a registered capital of 30 million yuan and one legal representative.

Then he came to rent office space. Zhou Ming visited more than a dozen industrial parks in Hangzhou, and finally rented 4, 5, and 6 full rooms in the vacant E Building in the "High-Tech Park" close to Hangzhou University of Science and Technology. For a three-story building, the annual rent is more than 6 million yuan. Including decoration costs, it will cost at least 10 million yuan.

However, Zhou Ming was not short of money, and everything was decorated to the highest standards, including sterile and dust-free laboratories, constant-temperature incubation rooms, high-clean work areas, etc., plus multiple sets of expensive physical and chemical experimental equipment, pharmaceuticals, test tubes, Petri dishes, high-magnification microscopes, various instruments, etc. are estimated to cost tens of millions.

Zhou Ming will not spend a penny less on the money that should be spent, and medical equipment has always been known for being expensive and hugely profitable. It is normal to spend 40 to 50 million for a complete research institute. What Zhou Ming lacks most is all kinds of Such talent.

Based on his many years of dungeon game experience, he came to a conclusion: there are two types of talents, practical and management talents. Both types of talents are very important, but if you ask which type of talent is more important, Zhou Ming will answer: management talents.

Managerial talents are equivalent to the human brain, just like the operating system of a computer. Although many specific tasks must be completed by practical talents, without good organizational skills and proper planning and arrangements by managers, even if the practical talents are capable Outstanding, wrong direction, disrupted the overall plan, even if some results are achieved, they may not be useful.

Take Steve Jobs, for example. He couldn't type a line of code, but no one denies that he was a genius product designer and the soul helmsman of a large enterprise.

Of course, the top managers should still have the two qualities of managers and doers. They should understand technical issues and not give blind orders. They should also be able to grasp the right direction in management and not lead the road astray.

Therefore, Zhou Ming would not have to worry too much about the recruitment of technical personnel. Offering high salaries would naturally attract talents.

But in terms of the company's top management, he has to personally control it.

So he asked Wu Xiaohong, the HR manager who first joined the company, a capable woman in her forties, to post a job recruitment information on the largest recruitment website in China, with a monthly salary of 100,000 + year-end commission, to recruit a person in the field of nutritional solution research and development. , a senior manager with more than five years of work experience.

Less than three days after the recruitment information was sent out, four applicants came from all over the country to participate in the interview that Zhou Ming personally controlled.

The first interviewer is a middle-aged man named Jiang who has been working in the field of health care products for 13 years. He has a wealth of knowledge about the health care products industry. He can sum it up in two words: huge profits. If this research institute also produces health care products. If you do research and development, you will definitely make a lot of money!

Health products?

Zhou Ming's heart skipped a beat when he heard this term. There seemed to be thousands of various health product formulas in his learning machine. He took out a few of them and developed formulas with the functions of beautifying the face, strengthening the body, and replenishing the body. Healthy nutritional solutions with brain-enhancing and other effects should be able to defeat health care products such as "Brain Gold" that rely on brainwashing advertisements to defeat them, right?

Immediately, Zhou Ming eliminated this interviewer for no other reason than two words: a liar, a liar who makes fake health care products. He doesn’t have any real information in his belly, and he also wants to use those nonsense words to deceive middle-aged and elderly people. It would be too stupid and naive to fool him.

The second interviewer is a little more normal. He has a high degree of education and a Ph.D. who has returned from studying abroad. He has six years of work experience as a project manager in a laboratory. He has a lot of knowledge, but he is a bit arrogant. After reading Zhou Ming's post here, After learning about the environment, I found that it was a small company that had just been established. I was not interested at all. After chatting for a few words, I left on the pretext that something happened.

The third interviewer is also a doctor. He is in his thirties and has no experience of studying abroad. He has led several research projects, but he gives the impression that he is not very active. He is a boring Hulu science and engineering man. It is not a big problem to do some technical work. The management is really failing.

Moreover, he was not very satisfied with the environment of this newly established company. He said that he could work here, but the salary should not be less than 150K. With various bonuses, he would get the equivalent of more than 16 months' salary in a year.

Naturally, Zhou Ming asked him to go back and wait for news.

The fourth interviewer is a middle-aged man who is nearly fifty years old. He graduated from a junior college and has worked in a juice factory for twenty years. He has developed hundreds of various juice products. Logically speaking, this He was a "juice uncle" and had nothing to do with the field of medical nutritional solutions, but Zhou Ming was moved by the resume he submitted because of one sentence in it:

I have developed hundreds of kinds of juices, using the least additives to prepare juices with the best nutrition and taste. I resigned because I didn't want to give up the principles I adhered to.

Zhou Ming gave him a chance and asked him several questions during the interview.

"Mr. Song, since the juice you prepared is nutritious and delicious, and only uses a small amount of additives, it sounds very good, but why can't it be sold?"

Song Wenhui smiled bitterly: "The cost is 6 to 8 yuan per bottle. It is not well-known and expensive. The boss does not agree to put it on the production line and dealers are unwilling to join."

"Then why don't you lower the cost or use more additives?"

"If you reduce the cost, it will not taste good. Use as little additives as possible. If you use too much, you will never taste the fruity taste! I also firmly believe that the juice I make is a bit expensive, but there must be people who are willing to consume it. .”

"When you prepare juice, how do you keep the pH appropriate and avoid chemical reactions between nutrients?"

"I majored in chemistry in college and worked as a high school chemistry teacher for several years. I am very good at this aspect..." Song Wenhui gave many examples of how to avoid neutralization reactions, maximize the nutrition and original taste of juice, etc.

"Did you bring your juice? How about giving me a taste?"

"Take it, take it."

Song Wenhui took out a bottle of juice from the briefcase he carried with him and handed it to Zhou Ming.

After unscrewing the lid, Zhou Ming only took a small sip and then said to Song Wenhui: "Come to work early. You are hired."

Song Wenhui was stunned after hearing this. After searching for more than half a year, he finally found a job, and it was a high-paying position... Then his eyes turned red and his voice trembled: "Mr. Zhou, I will come to work tomorrow!"

…

October 10th.

The research institute founded by Zhou Ming has more and more employees. It already has more than 20 people. It has various departments such as human resources department, finance department, R\u0026D department, equipment management department, as well as general manager, R\u0026D director and other senior management personnel. Yes, some equipment and medicines have arrived. When the master workers work overtime to complete the decoration of the laboratory on the fourth floor, this research institute will officially enter the research and development state.

This afternoon.

It only took more than half a month for Zhou Ming to take the prototype of his business. He had come up with the basic framework of the company so quickly. Su Yuxiang and her parents took advantage of the weekend vacation to come to the company to have a look.

However, before entering the company, they only saw the big words posted on the front desk and the wall behind the company. Su Yuxiang and others were all stunned there, with the corners of their mouths twitching and strange expressions on their faces.

After a long time, Su Qingrong turned to Zhou Ming and said, "Xiao Zhou, the name of the Demonic Liquid Research Institute is really..."

Zhou Ming shrugged helplessly: "When I went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to register, I thought of dozens of names. Eastern Divine Liquid, Wanling Liquid, Origin Energy Liquid, etc. were all used by others. What can I do?"

Su Qingrong shook his head: "The Demonic Liquid Research Institute, with such a strange name, will anyone buy the products it makes?"

In other words, does anyone dare to buy it?

Zhou Ming isn't worried about this. As long as the product is good, it doesn't matter if the name is bad. Besides, magic liquid... a magical liquid, what's wrong with it? Is there any dirt there?

That's the name.
