103. Grab time
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Dongcheng, who was watching TV in the living room, heard the doorbell ringing.
Zhang Lu got up from Chen Dongcheng's arms and went over to open the door.
"Chen Dong, the car has been bought, the landing price is 1.9 million in total, and all the formalities have been completed.
The 4S store first gave the temporary license plate, and I am helping you find the owner of the license plate who intends to sell the beautiful number of the license plate. ”
Xie Jingyu handed over the car keys to Zhang Lu, walked in and closed the door, and stood at the door.
Chen Dongcheng nodded and said casually: "Anyway, it's just an occasional opening, I want to customize a few suits, do you have any good recommendations?"
Xie Jingyu pondered for a moment and said: "If you want to customize a suit, I personally recommend Anderson and Shepard in the United Kingdom, and Kiton's K50 series is also a very good choice." ”
Anderson vs. Shepard?
Chen Dongcheng seems to have heard a friend talk about it before, it is a national treasure-level luxury custom brand in the United Kingdom.
"Are they in a custom shop in the magic capital?"
"No, but we can pay to bring in a master tailor from their shop, but you may have to pay a certain amount. ”
"That's fine, you can tell them, I'll make a few more customizations, and if it's a fabric, I'll choose the best one." ”
Chen Dongcheng has some understanding of these custom suit brands, and the prices of different fabrics are also very different.
"You tell them that if they can send someone, I can reimburse the first class and pay an extra £10,000.
But it had to be the best tailor in their shop. ”
Chen Dongcheng doesn't know much about suit customization, and he has gritted his teeth to buy a mid-range price suit before, spending thousands of oceans.
But I also know that if you want to play haute couture, you have to find a reliable tailor.
Otherwise, what you make is definitely different from what you imagined.
"I understand, then I'll contact them as soon as possible. ”
"Well, if you have a license plate, you can buy one first, and you don't have to buy a beautiful number. ”
"Okay. ”
Xie Jingyu thought for a while, and said: "Mr. Zeng called me today, saying that the recruitment of employees has been completed, and now the construction has started, when will you go over and take a look?"
Chen Dongcheng glanced at the time, went to Zeng Yiming's to take a look, and went out for another meal in the evening.
"Now, then, you give notice. ”
"I'll contact Mr. Zeng. ”
Zhang Lu handed the car key to Chen Dongcheng and asked, "Can I accompany you?"
"Let's go change our clothes, it's too late and it's time for a traffic jam again. ”
"Uh-huh. ”
Zhang Lu happily ran to the cloakroom.
Chen Dongcheng smiled and beckoned to Xie Jingyu: "Jingyu, come and sit." ”
Xie Jingyu nodded, changed into a pair of disposable slippers and walked over, sitting upright and facing Chen Dongcheng.
"The company's procedures and licenses have been completed, right?"
"It's done, the intermediaries that Mr. Zeng found, the people from the legal and finance departments were all recruited by me personally, you can rest assured of this.
I'll check with them regularly in the future and then report back to you. ”
Chen Dongcheng chatted with Xie Jingyu for a while, mainly to understand the situation on Zeng Yiming's side.
The decoration of the office building of the Global Center is ready-made, and there is no need to buy tables and chairs, and you can start work by directly recruiting people.
The first task of the company was to develop the App first.
In the era of mobile Internet, there is no app and a snake.
Xiaohongshu is now suffering from the loss of no App, and it can't accumulate users just by relying on some PDF files.
The app in the early stage can not be too exquisite, but it must be faster than Xiaohongshu.
Employees will definitely be punished, Chen Dongcheng can give them a salary increase, but Xiaohongshu must not be allowed to grow wantonly.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Lu also changed his clothes and came over.
"Honey, let's go. ”
Chen Dongcheng smiled and nodded: "Let's go, by the way, Jingyu, you go and buy some clothes according to my size at night, it's not a matter if the wardrobe is empty." ”
"Okay, if it's a suit, I don't think I need to add any more.
I recommend that you buy more casual and athletic clothing. ”
"You look at the purchase, just give me the total amount of the specific consumption. ”
Chen Dongcheng was too lazy to toss, and directly transferred 500,000 yuan to Xie Jingyu.
"I went to buy the money first, and filled my wardrobe as much as I could. ”
Xie Jingyu responded, and he was also feeling the difference of the new boss in his heart.
Being a secretary in a state-owned enterprise is not the same as working in such a private enterprise.
The boss usually can't be as extravagant as Chen Dongcheng.
In other words, in Xie Jingyu's impression, he can buy hundreds of thousands of clothes casually.
That is, only those business elites who are worth hundreds of millions can do it.
The square appearance of the Mercedes-Benz big G made Zhang Lu a little disgusted.
also suddenly understood why Chen Dongcheng had to add a sentence not to change the car paint.
With the obsidian black paint and platinum white interior, Chen Dongcheng looks quite pleasing to the eye.
The interior of Mercedes-Benz is still very passable, and the quality is as long as it does not touch the domestic pit.
Stop and go all the way, the Mercedes-Benz big G does not have the lethality of a sports car, and the traffic in the magic capital is indeed too bad.
When I arrived at the Global Center, it took half an hour, and it would normally take ten minutes to get it done.
After parking your car, take the elevator straight to the 60th floor.
After walking a few steps out of the elevator, I saw the logo of Xiaolanshu, including the name of the company's registration, which is also called Xiaolanshu Technology Co., Ltd.
Chen Dongcheng walked into the company, and the front desk saw Xie Jingyu respectfully following behind Chen Dongcheng.
I didn't know that this person in front of me was the big boss of the company.
"Hello Chen Dong!"
The two front desk girls hurriedly said hello, and their appearance was considered to be passable, and their real appearance was 80 points.
The front desk is the face of the company, and Zeng Yiming is quite attentive.
A girl at the front desk came over, a little goose-faced.
"My name is Wang Xi, and I just joined the company the day before yesterday. ”
Wang Xi introduced himself and found that Chen Dongcheng was not interested in asking much, so he hurriedly led the way.
Walking into the office area, the workstations are divided in an orderly manner, and each workstation has employees busy with the things at hand.
Wang Xi just wanted to introduce Chen Dongcheng, but was stopped by Chen Dongcheng with his eyes.
"How many people are in the company now?"
"There are a total of 120 people, of which the technical department is the largest, accounting for 60 people, all of whom were personally recruited by Mr. Zeng. ”
Chen Dongcheng nodded slightly, and it happened that Zeng Yiming also received a call from the front desk at this time, and when he walked out of the office, he saw Chen Dongcheng who was visiting.
"Everyone be quiet, this is our company's Chen Dong. ”
Zeng Yiming smiled at Chen Dongcheng and took the lead in applauding.
Other employees also puffed out their mouths with hula, and quietly observed Chen Dongcheng by the way.
At first glance, this Chen Dong is too young.
At second glance, this Chen Dong is a bit handsome.
Chen Dongcheng and everyone applauded and said, "Welcome everyone to join Xiaolanshu, I believe this will be the place where everyone's dreams begin."
I have always believed in Mr. Zeng's ability, and the company's important task is to develop and test the App as soon as possible.
The time may be a little tight, but the company will ensure that any employee who has worked hard can get a satisfactory return, and a generous year-end bonus will be waiting for everyone. ”
For Internet companies, money is always the biggest problem.
Without enough funds, even the salaries of employees cannot be opened, let alone salary increases and year-end bonuses.
Chen Dongcheng said very simply, but the enthusiasm of the employees is very high.
They like this kind of boss who is kind of to his employees.
It's almost the end of the year, and it's so comfortable to work hard to get a few more months of year-end bonuses and go home.
"Everyone understands what Chen Dong meant, then hurry up and continue to work, I will stay in the company during this time, and we must go online before Christmas. ”
Zeng Yiming finally summed up, waving his hand to signal everyone to continue to be busy.
When he came to Zeng Yiming's office, Zhang Lu was quite curious, and listened patiently to Zeng Yiming's report to Chen Dongcheng.
In fact, Zeng Yiming said that Chen Dongcheng had heard Xie Jingyu know about it before he came.
However, Chen Dongcheng still listened carefully and commented a few words from time to time.
"Chen Dong, that's probably it, but it's a bit difficult to launch the App on Android and Apple App Store at the same time before Christmas, I suggest developing the iOS side first, and then developing the Android side after we seize the opportunity. ”
Zeng Yiming also gave his own reasons: "First of all, we have the same purpose as Xiaohongshu, targeting people who shop overseas during Christmas.
These people who can go overseas to shop generally use more mobile phones from Apple.
And one of the advantages of developing the iOS side first is that the iOS system is only used by Apple.
Unlike Android, which is a Wanguo brand, there are many mobile phone brands used, and our early testing can reduce a lot of pressure. ”
"Well, I agree with this, we don't need to think too much about the community model in the early stage, the focus is on shopping strategies, how about the progress of your people collecting overseas shopping strategies?"
Zeng Yiming said with a smile: "We recently did a survey and found that Hong Kong and Macao are the first choices for Chinese people to travel abroad, and the two places received a total of more than 60 million Chinese people last year. ”
"With this in mind, we funded some of our marketing staff to conduct on-site visits to Hong Kong and Macau, and made the shopping strategy as detailed and comprehensive as possible.
And hire some bloggers and influencers in the travel industry to polish the strategy. ”
"In my opinion, it should be able to meet the needs of Chinese people when shopping overseas to a great extent.
At the same time, it increases their favorability towards our little blue book, which is the first batch of seed users we have cultivated. ”
"It's a bit too much money, and these strategies in the early stage are predicted by the marketing department to exceed one million. ”
Sending people to Hong Kong and Macao for field trips, food, accommodation and shopping expenses have to be calculated, but the money is well spent.
What investors look at is the number of users you look at.
As long as Little Blue Book can grasp the Christmas shopping crowd this time, it can really stand out from a group of startups.
Zeng Yiming said with some embarrassment: "Chairman Chen, the company's funds are a little insufficient. ”
Chen Dongcheng didn't care much, as long as the finance and legal department were in his own hands, Zeng Yiming was still very honest.
"Well, I gave you two million before, and then I gave you three million, which is the company's start-up capital. ”
Chen Dongcheng remembered that Xiaohongshu's angel round investment was less than five million.
Not to mention that Zeng Yiming doesn't have to worry about miscellaneous things such as rent.
"Thank you, Chairman Chen. ”
Zeng Yiming breathed a sigh of relief, if it was really only two million, according to Xiaolanshu's current actions, it would be really easy to run out of funds.
Now that the capital has reached five million, Zeng Yiming's heart is immediately steady.
Generally, startups receive this number of angel round investments.
What made Zeng Yiming feel even more secure was that the money was all from Chen Dongcheng himself.
The boss is a rich second generation who is not bad for money, and that is really comfortable.
Zeng Yiming had also been in contact with those who wanted to prove themselves with their family's money.
With tens of millions of entrepreneurial funds at every turn, they envy these hard-working professional managers not to want it.
Of course, now that he is working for Chen Dongcheng, Zeng Yiming wishes that Chen Dongcheng's family would give as much money as possible.
