"I'm dating a girlfriend. I need to bring it back to my mother to see."
"Tell mom, tell me quickly, when will it be ready?"
As soon as she returned home, Xia Xiaorong interrogated Zhang Yida with excitement on her face.
"He's just an ordinary classmate, and the other one is her friend. He's not in a relationship. Why don't you believe it?"
Zhang Yida said bitterly, scratching his head, too lazy to explain anything.
On the other side, Zhao Erya was also questioned.
"Yaya, who is that boy?"
"You said you were going on a trip before, why didn't you tell us there was a boy?"
"I've only been in college for a month. How long have you known each other? You dare to travel with others to Yunnan Province. What if you suffer a loss?"
"You, it's all your father's fault for spoiling you rotten!"
Wang Hongxin scolded him with a straight face.
"Isn't this okay? Besides, Qingxuan is with me. I have grown up and I will protect myself!"
Zhao Erya stuck out her tongue and said back.
After asking specific questions about some details of the journey, and repeatedly confirming that there was nothing hidden from her, Wang Hongxin breathed a sigh of relief.
But my intuition told me that my daughter must have a problem with that Zhang Yida. Maybe she was dating secretly, but she just refused to admit it. She must take time to meet that boy. Wang Hongxin thought to herself.
Zhang Yida bid farewell to his mother and embarked on a journey back to Beijing with his father.
After arriving in Beijing, he accompanied his father Zhang Qinghua to book a room at a hotel next to Beijing University. After settling in, he returned to the dormitory of Beijing University and put away his luggage.
Without stopping, he quickly asked Lin Zhenyang to meet him at a coffee shop to talk about the upcoming work.
After ordering two cups of coffee, Zhang Yida and Lin Zhenyang sat on both sides.
Zhang Yida spoke first and went straight to the point: "How is the current recruitment situation for personnel?"
Lin Zhenyang snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "All done!"
After a pause, he went on to introduce in detail:
"There are 6 people in the technical line, including 1 product manager, 1 UI designer, 1 iOS engineer, 1 Android development engineer, 1 server development engineer, and 1 test engineer."
"There are 4 people in the operation line, 1 person in product operation, 1 person in user operation, 1 person in event planning, and 1 person in data analysis."
"There are 5 people in the marketing line, 1 in marketing planning, 2 in new media marketing, and 2 in business."
"There are 15 people in total. The technical team is all senior post and telecommunications students from Aoki and Jingcheng. Although they are all students, don't worry, there is absolutely no problem with their technical level! We are looking for people with several years of work experience in operations and marketing. Can we find these positions?
I’m a little worried about experienced students.”
Zhang Yida nodded, a dozen people are enough. Although the sparrow is small and has all the internal organs, the framework has been set up, and it will just continue to be improved.
After thinking for a while, he spoke again:
"In the early stage, it is enough for us to have three departments: technology, operations, and marketing. The front desk, administration, human resources, and finance will be temporarily vacant for now. The funds are limited. After the product is completed and the results are achieved, we will discuss financing and the financing will be in place.
I’ll add more later.”
After saying that, he looked at Lin Zhenyang, wanting to hear his opinion.
Lin Zhenyang touched his chin, thought for a moment, and then said:
"Those positions don't matter for the time being. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and you can just make up for it as you develop later!"
"What I'm worried about now is the funding issue. The office space is free, and employees can also ask employees to bring their own early computer equipment. But I calculated the monthly salary of these more than a dozen people, and it's about 150,000, with an average of one per person.
Ten thousand yuan a month. Our one million funds can only support us for 6 months, and this is when we only use it to pay wages and not make any other expenses."
There were some things that Lin Zhenyang didn't say out loud because he didn't want to take credit. Zhang Yida trusted him and gave him shares, so he wanted them too.
These people were all collected by him through various connections and they were of high quality and low price. Especially the big names in the technical field, it was he who visited the thatched cottage three times and went through a lot of hard work to persuade them to agree to join. And he only agreed to join first.
If you try to work for a while, if you don't develop well, you have to go back and participate in the recruitment of major Internet companies next year. There is nothing you can do about it. They are all graduates of prestigious schools, so there is too much room for choice.
If all the technicians are recruited who have graduated and are working, and compared with the technical level of those 6 people, the total of 6 people is estimated to be less than 200,000 per month, which is not enough to retain. Including operations and marketing, it is nearly 100,000 per month.
The salary expenditure will reach the bottom within three months.
Now that his operation has given the company three more months of development time, it also has more hope for success.
Before starting a business, I thought one million was quite a lot, and it seemed like I could do a lot of things. Only when I started doing it did I realize how difficult it was, Lin Zhenyang secretly sighed in his heart.
"Don't worry about funding. As long as we build the product as quickly as possible and increase the user base, financing is not a problem. Seed rounds look at creativity, angel rounds look at the team, and Series A venture capital looks at data, user scale and business model.
"
Zhang Yida said with a confident smile.
"Okay, no problem! Whatever you do next is up to Director Zhang's arrangement!"
Lin Zhenyang pretended to be serious and joked.
"Then we will gather the team, and at eight o'clock in the evening, everyone will go to meet the first angel investor."
Zhang Yida said this sentence inadvertently.
"Who are the angel investors? You got venture capital so quickly?"
Lin Zhenyang said in surprise.
"My dad, Zhang Qinghua, general manager of Rongcheng Xingnong Feed Co., Ltd.!"
Zhang Yida chuckled.
Lin Zhenyang:......
Zhang Yida briefly told Lin Zhenyang about the history of his father's business, his current feed business, and his personality traits.
Then the two began to plot how to perform tricks at night to win the investment.
At eight o'clock in the evening, in the private room of Daronghe Restaurant, eighteen people were sitting around a large round table.
Lin Zhenyang raised his glass and spoke with a smile on his face:
"There are two main things to call everyone here this time!"
"First, the company's entrepreneurial project is officially launched. Let's all get together to have a meal and get to know each other. The next work also needs the full support of all our friends, so that we can create brilliance together!"
"Second, there is a distinguished guest here today, Mr. Zhang, an angel investor who came all the way from Chengdu! Mr. Zhang came to Beijing this time to inspect our company's entrepreneurial projects, so he wanted to chat with everyone."
"Come, let's toast Mr. Zhang together."
After finishing speaking, more than a dozen men and women stood up and raised their glasses to drink together.
Zhang Qinghua didn't understand it, so he was called here by his son from the hotel. It was just to inspect an investment project, and it was so grand. However, he accepted it after a while, and said a few words in the scene.
"Thank you Mr. Lin for your invitation today!"
"You all young talents have a bright future!"
"Keep working hard and create a better tomorrow!"
“I wish you all success in starting your own business!”
After drinking for three rounds, Lin Zhenyang asked his fifteen friends to introduce themselves one by one, focusing on honors and achievements.
"Hello everyone, my name is Zhou Feng. I am studying in the Yao Class of Computer Science at Qingmu University. I ranked first in the college entrance examination in Hunan Province and won the first prize in the College Student Programming Competition..."
A thin boy wearing black-rimmed glasses introduced himself.
"What a great person, Yao Ban, provincial champion, first prize."
Zhang Yida was shocked that such a true god came to his small temple. He glanced at Lin Zhenyang beside him and said to himself that he could really deceive him.
Lin Zhenyang leaned over to Zhang Yida's ear and said:
"How about this great guy? I spent a lot of effort to hire him."
"Let him be the CTO. We will allocate some equity and we will discuss it in detail. This kind of big guy must be retained!" Zhang Yida said softly to Lin Zhenyang.
Lin Zhenyang nodded to express his understanding.
The dozen friends who introduced themselves next all had impressive resumes.
The technical team is either from Aoki University or is a computer major from the Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications.
The operations and marketing teams are a little weaker, but they all have bachelor's degrees, and a few of them are from 985 and 211 universities.
Zhang Qinghua was also listening dumbfounded. The young men and girls sitting at the same table as him were all college students. There were also provincial champions, national scholarships, first prizes, outstanding college students...
Everyone here is a college student, except myself. After thinking about it, I asked myself whether I should invest a sum of money in this luxurious team?
Watching these proud men toasting to him one by one, Zhang Qinghua refused everyone who came. After a while, he became a little dizzy from drinking and his face turned red.
Seeing that his father was drunk, Zhang Yida winked at Lin Zhenyang.
Lin Zhenyang signaled that he had received it, and then asked:
"Mr. Zhang, what do you think of our team?"
“Excellent, everyone is talented!”
Zhang Qinghua replied drunkenly.
Lin Zhenyang said with a bitter look on his face: "We have everything ready to start a business, but we still lack funds. We are very eager for successful people like you to lend us a helping hand. Are you willing to help us young people?"
"Help, definitely help!"
Zhang Qinghua answered decisively.
Lin Zhenyang rolled his eyes and asked again:
"You mean you are willing to invest in us?"
"Invest, invest, invest in shares, no problem!"
Zhang Qinghua leaned on the chair and said with slightly squinted eyes.
"Okay, thank you very much!"
Lin Zhenyang winked at Zhang Yida and thanked Zhang Qinghua.
"Why are you thanking me! Do a good job, young man, I think highly of you!"
Zhang Qinghua burped and praised.
Zhang Yida and Lin Zhenyang looked at each other with smiles on their faces, and it's done! Hahaha!
Everything tonight was planned in advance, from the opening remarks to the self-introductions of the employees. At the same time, knowing that his father loved drinking, Zhang Yida and Lin Zhenyang discussed toasting a few more glasses of wine. Isn’t that right?
! After a few glasses of wine, Dad easily agreed to invest!
Although it is a bit unethical, it is only natural for a son to cheat on his father!
Anyway, this investment was spent on Zhang Yida's company, so I can double the compensation to my father in the future.
Seeing that everyone had eaten and drank, Zhang Yida called the waiter to settle the bill. First, he sent his drunken father back to the hotel to settle down, and then he returned to the dormitory with peace of mind.
