Chapter 8 Company Formation

After Zhao Lihong signed a contract with the school last semester, she used the few days when she returned to school early during the summer vacation to renovate the site assigned to her by the school. In the past few days after the start of school, Zhao Lihong and Yu Xiaolong began to intensively advertise the opening of the first "company" in their lives - "X Express Service Station".

Due to the large number of functional departments and the large number of students and employees in the school, the number of express shipments from a wide variety of express companies every day is very large. In the past, in addition to Xfeng, Xtong, and Xtong, the three courier companies had campus terminal sites on campus, and the couriers of other courier companies were rampaging on campus when they delivered express delivery. Since there have been several student security incidents on campus, the school has upgraded the access control system of several school gates, and no outsiders are allowed to enter the campus casually, and the courier boys are blocked out of the campus gate. The express mail sent by the courier boys to the students and teachers of the school can only be stacked on the ground outside the school's doors. Sometimes when encountering urban management law enforcement, these courier boys are forced to hide in Tibet. And if the students and teachers of the school get the express mail, they may not be notified by the little brothers to pick it up somewhere outside the school, so the teachers and students of the school are full of complaints about this.

Zhao Lihong has been working part-time at the express station, so she naturally saw the chaos of the couriers rampaging at the school. She has always been thinking about this phenomenon, because there is only one theory course in her senior year, and there are only two hours of classes per week, and the rest of the time is basically free. She is a caring person, in the second semester of her junior year, after careful research, she decided to set up an on-campus express "company" with Yu Xiaolong, the name is "X large express service station", to provide terminal services for various express companies in the society on campus, and to receive, manage and distribute all express mail entering the campus in a unified manner. This can be regarded as a response to the call of "college students to start their own businesses" that the school has been emphasizing. Since Zhao Lihong and Yu Xiaolong are going to work in Beijing after graduation and do not plan to stay in Shenyang, there is no need to set up a real company, but only to hang this "company" under the name of the school's asset management company, so that there is no need to pay taxes or pay a variety of fees.

With the help of Yu Xiaolong, Zhao Lihong prepared a very specific feasibility report for the project, detailing the current situation, trends, prospects, goals, development and market expansion, implementation methods, existing conditions, and even financial budget and expected profit of the project. She took the feasibility report to the school's logistics department to negotiate the contract. The school logistics department was originally a headache about the current situation of unorganized and undisciplined express delivery sites at the school gate and several express delivery sites in the school, and there were complaints from students and faculty members about the inconvenience of receiving express mail.

Although Yu Xiaolong is Zhao Lihong's fellow villager in Wenzhou, he didn't know Zhao Lihong before, and later learned through Wu Zeyu that there was such a "courier" fellow villager as him in Song Yao's dormitory, and the two also met because of express delivery. The two have the foundation of fellow villagers, and their relationship quickly developed into a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship. Yu Xiaolong ran to the express station when he was free, playing games and accompanying Zhao Lihong. The proprietress of the site saw that Yu Xiaolong often accompanied his girlfriend here with nothing to do, and once learned that the Xtong Express Station next to it needed to re-recruit a work-study student because the previous part-time student had resigned, so she hurriedly introduced Yu Xiaolong. In this way, Yu Xiaolong and Zhao Lihong are stuck together from time to time. After the junior year, they all began to take professional courses, when choosing elective courses, Zhao Lihong and Yu Xiaolong tried their best to choose the 1st and 2nd periods in the morning or the 9th and 10th classes in the evening elective courses, so that they could have more time to work at the express station, so that there were more working hours, and the salary was also rising, Zhao Lihong could receive a salary every month, Yu Xiaolong did not have to deliver to the house, but he could also receive a salary of 2000 yuan every month.

Now Zhao Lihong has set up the "X Big Express Service Station" in the school, and has become the "female boss" of the express service station from a work-study student worker, fully responsible for the company's operation. Yu Xiaolong became the "executive manager" of the express service station, responsible for some relatively more specific matters such as the supply of goods and the receipt and delivery of express mail.

According to the conditions that had been negotiated with the school logistics at the end of the last semester, Zhao Lihong borrowed four rooms on the first floor on the west side of the main building of the 15th dormitory building for boys, and these four rooms stood opposite each other on both sides of the corridor in the building. The 15-dormitory building for boys is a six-story main and auxiliary building structure, the main building runs east-west, and there is a half-annex building vertically connected to it at the westernmost end, and the other end of the annex building extends out until it is blocked by the west wall of the logistics department building. The staircase of the dormitory building is located in the middle of the main building, and the building door opens to the north. There are three student dormitories on each side of the corridor on each floor of the annex building, facing each other. Six rooms on the first floor of the annex building have been lent to the school post office for use. This post office is actually just a post office under the branch office, and students are accustomed to calling it "post office" for short. Zhao Lihong's courier service station and post office are located on this vertical corner of the main and auxiliary buildings, and they have become neighbors.

Zhao Lihong and Yu Xiaolong both returned to school a few days early this summer vacation, looking for a small worker to put a wall in the east corridor of the room at the express service station to separate it from the other dormitories. Two dormitories were selected, the east and west dormitories, and their original windows were opened to the front and back of the building, and the original corridor area of the dormitory was used as the office of the courier service station, with two desks, one large and one small, and a filing cabinet. These desks and filing cabinets were discarded after the logistics group updated their office furniture, and were randomly stacked in various courtyards of the college. Zhao Lihong and Yu Xiaolong saw that these furniture were all new and of good quality, so they called Wu Zeyu and Wang Qiang, and several people moved these items from the courtyard together and put them in the office. Zhao Lihong went online and ordered a printer to put on the small desk indoors. In the past, Zhao Lihong's laptop was just an ornament, almost useless, but now she just uses it, she puts the laptop on the big desk and uses it as an office computer. The original four dormitories were all used as warehouses, where shelves were installed and express parcels were placed. A week before the start of school, Zhao Lihong hired a small worker to paint all the walls of the room, and Zhao Lihong and Yu Xiaolong also designed the placement and shelf size according to the size of the room, and ordered express shelves and barcode scanning guns online. At present, the walls have all been dried, and this batch of goods has also arrived at the express station smoothly and received by Yu Xiaolong.
