Lin Yi makes it easy, but cash flow issues are a top priority for startups, so they must be prepared in advance.
The current situation is that the website is doing well, and the reason why cash is flowing out quickly is because they have been expanding their scale.
In terms of quantity, in the past month or so, they have entered more than a dozen colleges and universities on Xueyuan Road, and the order volume and transaction volume have increased several times.
Theoretically, as long as they stop this crazy expansion, their financial situation will be greatly improved immediately.
But Lin Yi would not stop.
Li Moyan also knew that he couldn't stop. After all, the mantra that this guy kept talking about all day long was Zweig's saying, "The first place has everything, the second place is nothing."
"What are your plans for the three of us to pool money together again?"
This proposal was immediately rejected by Lin Yi. After converting the money he earned in high school into Bitcoin, there was not much left, and relying on shareholders for additional investment was not a long-term solution.
So where else can you make money?
Lin thought of Senior Brother Guo Nan who had just been sent away.
Of course, he didn't just pay this person's salary and then look for an opportunity to get it back. Instead, he targeted the female professor behind Senior Brother Guo.
So Lin Yi suggested: "It seems that we haven't visited Teacher Li Feifei for a while. Now that the business of Yiwu Food Network has developed in stages, we should take the initiative to report to her."
Li Moyan understood immediately. It seemed that free prostitution was indeed addictive. This guy was thinking about stealing the college's money again, but she didn't object.
So the three of them sent Li Feifei an email to make an appointment as mentioned before, and they happened to be free the next day, so they showed up at the last office on time.
"Come on, sit down."
Li Feifei is still as casual as before, but compared to last time, she is a little more interested in these three people today:
"I heard what Guo Nan said yesterday. I didn't expect that you have made such great progress in more than a month. It seems that I underestimated you. So far, at least your ability to act is still very strong."
Today, Lin Yizhi was still talking. He first complimented: "Thanks to Senior Brother Guo Nan for helping us during this period, in the final analysis, it is Teacher Li's support."
Li Feifei smiled. She didn't take a student's compliment seriously: "There's no need to give me a high hat. You probably go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, right? Tell me why you came to me."
Lin Yi appreciated her efficient work style and said very bluntly: "That's right, Mr. Li, after this period of development, our business scale has expanded a lot, but the corresponding investment is continuous capital investment."
"I wonder if the teacher has any suggestions for us?"
Li Feifei knew that he was asking for advice, but actually she wanted to ask for money.
"I remember that your initial start-up capital was 100,000 yuan, right? You spent the money quite quickly, but that's right. This is how you do things."
"I understand what you mean, but the hospital says it is for entrepreneurship support, but in fact it has not prepared this money. You still don't understand... In short, it is almost impossible to get money without a budget."
"So I can go to the hospital to report for you, but it's best not to have too much hope."
At this point she paused, "By the way, Dean Chen seemed to be very concerned about this matter when he assigned me tasks in the front yard. You can ask him to come up with a solution that will be more effective than my words."
Strictly speaking, these words are a bit over-the-top. It may be due to Li Feifei's personality, or she may think that these children can think of it themselves.
"Which Dean Chen?"
"You don't know about our School of Computer Science, Dean Chen Mingzhang?"
Li Feifei was very surprised. She thought these three people were related to Dean Chen and came to brush up their resumes, so she didn't pay much attention to them at first, but she didn't expect that they actually made something.
Lin Yiyi nodded and already knew it in his mind. He avoided the topic for the time being: "I can understand what Teacher Li said. In fact, the hospital does not necessarily have to pay for us."
"For example, with the expansion of website orders, renting servers is a big expense for us. I remember that there are some idle servers in the computer room in the hospital. Can you allocate some to us?"
Li Feifei smiled and commented: "You are starting a business there, but you are quite familiar with the things in the hospital. It seems that you have been secretly thinking about it for more than a day or two."
She made a simple joke and then said formally: "I think this plan is more realistic than giving money. You can try it."
Lin Yi followed the principle of thieves not taking advantage of the situation. However, it was not over yet. He asked again: "Last time, I heard from Teacher Li that you also have some contacts with the industry. I wonder if you can help us."
Looking for financing?”
This request was also expected by Li Feifei: "I can help you pay attention, but to be honest, your scale is still a bit small now, so you can only look for angel wheels."
"Actually, the principle is the same. Whether you are looking for financing here at the college or in the external market, the more you spread your business and make more noise, the easier it will be to get money."
Lin Yi also understands this truth, but this matter cannot be rushed. It has only been two months since the birth of the casual takeout website. In fact, it has already been running wildly.
After all, Li Feifei is a professional. She thought about it and actually gave some useful suggestions.
"Actually, there are many entrepreneurship competitions for college students. I wonder if you have heard of them before. I think you can participate."
"With your current results, you are much better than those current students who can only speak PPT. You can easily get a good ranking."
"These competitions are all sponsored. If you win, you will get some money, which can temporarily alleviate your financial problems."
"On the other hand, these competitions sometimes invite professionals from investment institutions to serve as judges or guests. If you are lucky and meet someone who likes you, then your first financing will be
Landed."
This sounded like a good idea, and Lin Yiduo asked for some details.
Li Feifei simply rummaged through her email, and sure enough she found an email and forwarded it directly to them.
"Now, you can take a look at this. It's a college student entrepreneurship competition hosted by the well-known MBB consulting company. The first place prize is 300,000 yuan."
"This was originally an invitation letter sent to me to be a judge. I definitely don't have time and have to turn it down. But if you want to go, I will recommend you to it and you can be shortlisted directly."
Three hundred thousand is a lot.
For the sake of money, Lin Yi couldn't let it go, so he decisively asked Li Feifei to register for them. At this time, he didn't take a serious look at the registration conditions and competition methods of this event.
After coming out of the office, Li Moyan asked: "Are you confident in this competition?"
"Let's talk if we have confidence." Lin Yi's attitude was quite optimistic.
Li Jianguo remembered the bargaining inside just now, and suddenly thought: "How do you know there are idle servers in the courtyard?"
Lin Yi smiled: "I don't know, and it doesn't matter whether there are idle servers in the hospital. The important thing is to allocate the old ones to us to support entrepreneurship, so that we can get money to buy new ones."
