() Of course Lu Yang doesn’t think that his mother, Zhang Shufen, is the most suitable person to open a decoration company as she is a layperson.
But he needed a reason to persuade Zhang Shufen to come out. If he rashly suggested that she open a store, it would be difficult to convince her because she was too unfamiliar with that industry.
As for decoration, Zhang Shufen has just been exposed to the entire process, so she is familiar with it and will not have any resistance.
The decoration industry does not have much demand for capital. The money Lu Yang has is enough to run a small decoration team. If he opens a store with such a small amount of money, it will be difficult to compete with other first comers.
Home decoration is a relatively simple industry. You don't need to deal with complicated social relationships. Most of the time you just need to deal with the owners.
With Luyang's vision ahead of the times, he can make many novel designs to attract customers. This kind of core competitiveness is something that other companies currently do not have.
"Open a company?"
Zhang Shufen was surprised, then waved her hand and said: "That would cost a lot of money, how can we open it?"
In these days, there are not as many supporting policies that are conducive to individual entrepreneurship in the future. Unless you become a self-employed person, it will require a lot of investment and various connections to establish a formal company. Naturally, Zhang Shufen cannot afford to be a self-employed person now.
"Don't worry about this," Lu Yang had already considered this and said calmly: "We can go to Wang Ming and tell him where our company is affiliated and just pay a management fee every year. He will give us a Shannan branch.
Just the name will do."
Although it is possible to get jobs without registering like those decoration teams, this cannot give the owners a formal feeling and is not conducive to building their own brand. Naturally, Lu Yang will not make such a short-sighted choice.
"Is this okay?" Zhang Shufen's eyes widened.
"certainly!"
Lu Yang waved to Wei Zhixiu who was wiping his hair and said, "Sister, bring me your bankbook."
Wei Zhixiu went to the room, and then took the bankbook into Lu Yang's hand with relief. She had been looking at the numbers on it quietly recently, and she always felt dizzy. She never imagined that she could earn so much money in such a short period of time.
"Mom," Lu Yang handed the passbook to Zhang Shufen and said with a smile: "I have discussed it with my sister. Both she and Fifth Brother plan to stay in Chongshan to start a business. You can open a company together and work hard together. She is willing to put her own earnings
I invested the 20,000 yuan into it.”
"Twenty thousand?"
When Zhang Shufen heard this number, she quickly opened her bankbook and found that more than a month later, it had tripled.
"Well," Lu Yang nodded, made a joke and said, "I should have some more in the future, so I won't be unable to afford food!"
All the old books accumulated now have been moved here. Although Liu Qiuhua asked the workers in the collective to continue collecting old books, others would not be as serious as her. It is difficult to say how much money will be made from this in the future, but there should be some.
Wei Zhixiu wiped her hair dry and just sat quietly next to Lu Yang. Lu Yang had already told her these words before, and she decided to stay in Chongshan.
By Lu Yang's side, she would feel at ease, just like she does now.
"Fifth brother, come here too!"
At this time, Wei Zhiwu parked the car and came back. Lu Yang quickly waved to him to come and sit down, and then told him about the matter.
Wei Zhiwu was actually not very interested in the decoration matter, but it was certainly more interesting to stay in Chongshan than to return to Yaoquan, so he naturally agreed happily.
Then Lu Yang started to talk about some of his own ideas, especially how to compete between regular companies and decoration teams.
"This is what I think," Lu Yangshen said with excitement, "We mainly target the market between medium-sized and luxurious clothing, with a decoration budget of 10,000 to 15,000, and I will launch it at that time.
Let the owner choose from several design styles, and then find a designer to draw the specific design work.”
"Mom, don't worry!"
Seeing that Zhang Shufen wanted to speak, Lu Yang quickly waved his hand and said, "There will definitely be no problem with the placement test. I reviewed it very seriously. If you don't believe me, call me and ask!"
Zhang Shufen and Grandpa Lu Yang were still embarrassed, so of course they wouldn't ask, so they just glared at him with a very clear meaning: if they don't do well in the exam, they will get the golden stick.
"Compared to those decoration teams," Lu Yang continued to encourage morale, saying: "We also have an advantage, that is, we have ready-made model rooms that can attract people."
"Model room?"
Wei Zhiwu spoke. Even though he was not very interested in decoration, he was very interested in new words.
"right!"
Lu Yang nodded and replied: "It's our renovated house. We can invite the owners to visit directly. Aunt Li is from Chongshan. She has seen a lot and likes everyone so much. When the time comes, just
This live advertisement can attract many customers!”
"Then we don't want to live in this house?" Zhang Shufen asked in confusion.
"Mom," Lu Yang shook his head and said, "I told you, it's best not to move in immediately after the decoration is completed. It takes time for formaldehyde to evaporate, so for the time being, we'll live here and wait a few months before talking about it."
"Okay," after hearing what Lu Yang said, Zhang Shufen finally nodded and said, "Then let's give it a try..."
Zhang Shufen didn't have much confidence in starting a company by herself, but her son's recent performance gave her a lot of confidence. Anyway, there was no suitable job during this period, so it didn't matter if she gave it a try first.
"good!"
Finally it was decided. Lu Yang clapped his hands excitedly and said, "We will go to Wang Ming's place tomorrow to go through the formalities and hire a designer by the way."
"Poach designers?"
Wei Zhixiu rarely spoke, asking Lu Yang with his big watery eyes.
"We'll find out tomorrow!"
Pursued by the three people with three eye rolls, Lu Yang giggled and escaped into the bathroom.
The smell of Wei Zhixiu hit him all over his face, and he was immediately fascinated. He almost suffered a tragedy when his foot slipped.
…
The next day was the weekend. Zhang Shufen took Lu Yang and Wei Zhixiu into Wei Zhiwu's double-cab minivan and drove towards the Nanjiang District Building Materials Market.
After getting off the car, Zhang Shufen first called Li Yumei and said that Lu Yang had promised to design it for her and asked him to make an appointment.
Li Yumei was impatient, so she immediately said that she would treat her to dinner at noon, and also told her the name of the place.
This is the last design that Zhang Shufen promised Lu Yang. From now on, it will have to be crafted by the designer Lu Yang said he wanted to recruit. He can only give pointers. After all, sketching is also very time-consuming.
The four of them arrived at Wang Ming's company. Unexpectedly, Wang Ming was not there and only Liao Li was there, so they could only sit and wait for a while.
During this period, Lu Yang didn't speak and just stared at Liao Li with a smile. She was confused and stared back.
Half an hour later, Wang Ming came back. He was stunned when he saw the four people, thinking that there was something wrong with the decoration.
Zhang Shufen explained the purpose of her visit, and he was shocked. Although affiliations were very common these days, it was too rare for a small and unknown company like his to be affiliated.
Zhang Shufen followed Lu Yang's previous statement and explained with a smile that in the initial stage, the funds are limited, so we can only choose a low starting point. It is impossible to be affiliated with a good company without ten thousand or twenty thousand. Everyone who has dealt with Wang Ming's company can trust it.
Then Lu Yang spoke up, saying that the design was actually not that amazing, and that he had learned from experts. He also boasted that his grandfather was a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts, implying that he was a friend of his grandfather's.
By chance, Liao Li had never heard Lu Yang's voice since that night.
At this moment, she was staring at Lu Yang, her face getting paler and paler as she listened to the familiar voice that she should have gradually forgotten.
In Liao Li's mind, the nightmare she tried so hard to forget flashed through her mind again and again.
"Sister Liao!"
Zhang Shufen and Wang Ming started to talk about specific matters. Lu Yang suddenly stood up, pulled Liao Li and said with a smile: "I want to go to the toilet, please take me there."
Liao Li was pulled by Lu Yang in confusion, outside, and then walked to a blind corner on the side of the building. It was quiet and quiet with no one coming and going.
A car passed by with its horn honking, and Liao Li finally woke up, stared at Lu Yang, and asked, "Who are you?"
"I didn't expect," Lu Yang smiled slightly and said, "You really found a decoration company to come to work."
"..."
The other party's words had already revealed his identity. Liao Li looked pale and didn't know what to say.
"I have forgotten what happened that night," Lu Yang continued to smile and said seriously: "My mother's company is newly established and is short of a designer. Are you interested?"
"ah?"
Liao Li was stunned and surprised by this inexplicable turning point.
"We have just started a business and are short of a designer. If you are interested, you can come," Lu Yang paused and continued, "I will definitely forget everything this way."
"you!"
The threat in the other party's words was obvious, and Liao Li's face turned from white to red, becoming embarrassed and annoyed.
"This is the address," Lu Yang threw a note to Liao Li, turned around and left, and said behind his back: "You can come and report tomorrow if you want."
Liao Li pinched the note hard and looked blankly at the figure who had disappeared around the corner. She suddenly wanted to cry.
It turns out that I tried so hard to forget, but it was of no use!
Lu Yang returned to Wang Ming's company, and Zhang Shufen had almost finished talking with him.
The two parties agreed that the annual affiliation fee of 3,000 yuan would be paid in one lump sum, and then Wang Ming would give Zhang Shufen a complete set of documents for the branch with an official seal. If you have any questions in the future, you can come to him at any time. Of course, it will take time to draft these documents. We will come back after they are completed.
Pay money to get documents.
Lu Yang, Zhang Shufen, Wei Zhixiu, and Wei Zhiwu left Wang Ming's company, and Liao Li happened to come back with tears on her face.
Seeing Lu Yang, Liao Li glanced bitterly, then lowered her head and entered the company.
"What's wrong with Miss Liao?"
Zhang Shufen was at a loss. After asking, there was no response. Then she said, "Yangyang, where should we find a designer?"
Lu Yang replied: "We'll wait until all the procedures are completed."
"That's okay." Zhang Shufen thought about it and was really not in a hurry, so she nodded.
The four of them went to the central street of Nanjiang District, which is called Nandi. Li Yumei's home is nearby.
When she saw Li Yumei, she took the four of them to a high-end restaurant nearby. After ordering, they started chatting.
