Who should he ask for help?
Li Yi looked at the three of them and could not help but frown.
He was usually quite nervous about his studies. He was afraid that they would get involved and delay their studies. In addition, when it came to money, it was somewhat sensitive. If they did not handle it well, it was easy for unnecessary ripples to appear.
After thinking for a moment, Li Yi dismissed the idea of getting his roommates to help.
Start a company and ask for help?
This seemed to be possible!
With the efficiency of the scanning tool, he would definitely not lose out by opening a small company.
Thinking of this, Li Yi could not help but be tempted.
In the future, if he wanted to transform the knowledge he learned from the library into technology, he would also need a company. It seemed that he could not avoid starting a company.
Li Yi made up his mind and prepared to find time to implement this matter.
Saturday, in the afternoon.
Li Yi left the campus and arrived at a café alone.
Not long after, Li Yi’s phone rang.
“Hello, is this Miss Lin? I’m in the café wearing a white T-shirt. Yes, I see you.” Li Yi answered the call and waved at the door.
A young girl in a professional outfit walked towards Li Yi with a smile.
She was somewhat surprised by Li Yi’s young age. However, Lin Meiyu still smiled and sat in front of Li Yi. “Mr. Li, are you sure you want to register a company? Did you bring the information?”
“Yes, sit. Miss Lin, what do you want to drink? I’ll order you a cup of coffee,” Li Yi said politely.
“Thank you!” Lin Meiyu thanked him.
Li Yi went to the cashier and ordered two cups of coffee before sitting in front of Lin Meiyu again.
Lin Meiyu looked at Li Yi and asked, “Mr. Li, our company provides a service for registered addresses. Do you need anything in this area?”
“No need. I’ll rent an office.” Li Yi waved his hand.
Lin Meiyu nodded and continued, “Alright, hurry up and implement it. When the time comes, send me the address. How much money are you prepared to fill in? Do you need any funds?”
“One million. No need for installments.” Li Yi smiled confidently.
Lin Meiyu looked at Li Yi in surprise and reminded, “Understood. When we register the company, the Trade and Commerce Bureau will need you to transfer the money into the company’s account.”
“No problem. How long will it take for the company to be registered?” Li Yi asked with concern.
“Approving the name usually requires 1 to 3 working days. If you fail, you have to get the name approved again. If you submit the registration materials for review, you usually need 5 to 15 working days. As for the engraving seal, you usually need 1 to 2 working days. Our company has channels in this area. If you cooperate well, you can complete everything in about 7 working days.” Lin Meiyu introduced.
“No problem. In that case, I’ll be counting on you.” Li Yi nodded and was quite satisfied with this speed.
After discussing the matter of registering the company, Li Yi left the cafe and immediately walked into a nearby property agent to get a girl called Chen Xiaomei to help him find an office.
Li Yi wanted to rent an office near the school so that he could directly come from the school.
“I’m very sorry, Mr. Li. I can’t find an office area within 100 square meters in the nearby office buildings. It has to be at least 200 square meters,” Chen Xiaomei said with a bitter smile.
“200 square meters. How much is the monthly rent?” Li Yi frowned and asked with concern.
Chen Xiaomei perked up and introduced, “The geographical environment of the West Sea Building is excellent. It’s a three-minute walk from the subway entrance and has an excellent view. The average rent is about 85 yuan per square meter for 200 square meters. The monthly rent is 17,000 yuan.”
Li Yi thought for a moment. This price was still acceptable.
“Alright, bring me to take a look!” Li Yi immediately decided.
“Alright, Mr. Li, we’ll get the key from the property manager’s office first. Please follow me.” Chen Xiaomei walked in front and led the way excitedly.
Soon, Chen Xiaomei brought Li Yi into the West Sea Building and looked at the office area.
The 200-square-meter office area was located on the 15th floor of the building. It was one of the smaller offices among the more than ten offices and was located in the corner. There were already many small companies working here. For example, there were companies like Dai Fei’s makeup, Ciel Internet Technology, and the Spring and Autumn Tea Company.
With Chen Xiaomei leading the way, Li Yi walked into the office area he wanted to rent. It was a room separated by a glass door into three small rooms.
The office layout was not bad and was also close to the school. Li Yi took a fancy to it immediately.
“Not bad, but the rent is a little expensive. Is there any room for discussion?” Li Yi said bluntly.
“Mr. Li, we can go to the second floor. I’ll help you talk to the owner.” Chen Xiaomei led the way happily.
Li Yi nodded and followed behind Chen Xiaomei.
Soon, with Chen Xiaomei’s hard work, Li Yi successfully reduced the rent to 15,000 yuan with half a month of renovation.
After spending nearly an hour signing the contract and paying, Li Yi successfully obtained the key to the office.
Next, without the help of anyone else, Li Yi had to do the rest of the work himself. This included getting the furniture as well as hiring employees.
Therefore, Li Yi planned to get someone to help first. Now, he had a resource he could use.
The company next door was Dai Fai Makeup. People came and went. Li Yi saw many applicants with resumes.
Li Yi went to the second floor and borrowed a printer to type a recruitment notice. He directly pasted it in the most conspicuous spot outside the office door.
Then, he waited for the “fish” to take the bait.
Indeed, Li Yi did not have to wait long before a young girl stuck her head out of the door and asked in a timid voice, “May I ask if your company still recruits office workers?”
“Come, come in!” Li Yi waved happily.
At the same time, he sized up this “fish” with a curious gaze.
The applicant was a young girl in her mid-twenties. She had an oval face, long hair and mid-length bangs, a pair of round glasses, and a tall figure. She had black suit pants and a short white shirt. She carried a small black bag and held a white file bag. She was ordinary and so were her clothes. However, she was young and had no makeup on. She was also very good-looking.
Hearing this, the girl walked in carefully with a trace of unease and curiosity.
“As you can see, I just rented this office today. It’s empty. There’s no table or chair. The interview will be held standing. You don’t mind, right?” Li Yi asked with a smile.
“No!” A trace of understanding flashed in the girl’s eyes as she hurriedly waved her hand.
“Thank you. Is it convenient for me to take a look at your resume?” Li Yi smiled and asked.
“Yes!” The girl nodded and replied. She hurriedly opened the document bag, took out a resume, and handed it over with both hands.
Li Yi received the resume and quickly reviewed it.
Cai Xiaowei, Age: 23, Height: 166, Weight: 51 kg, from Ling Dong, Senior High School Wen Ping, Business Management Major, English Level 4…
Looking at this resume, Li Yi could not help but smile. The girl in front of him was a newbie who had just graduated.
Li Yi looked up at Cai Xiaowei and asked with a smile, “Your resume is not bad. You have a few months of work experience and are very suitable for the position of a clerk in our company. I wonder if there’s anything you want to know about our company? Just let me know.”
“Yes! I want to understand more about your company.” Cai Xiaowei sized up Li Yi curiously and nodded.
The boy in front of her who looked even younger than her gave her a mature and steady aura. He did not look like a scammer.
She had been looking for a job for a while. It was either 996 or sales. She had encountered all kinds of pitfalls and had never been able to find a job that she was satisfied with. Coincidentally, she saw a recruitment notice posted at the door. If the salary and benefits mentioned were real, she could really try working in this company.
