Chapter 5: A New Beginning
"What are you?" Xuanyuan Feng looked at Zhou Yanlan a little confused.
Zhou Yanlan looked at Xuanyuan Feng and said word by word: "I said, I am homeless, so I can only come to you!" β
"What are you doing? Quarreled with your family? Why? β
"No reason, I just don't want to stay at home anymore, come out for a walk, didn't I tell you that I want to start a business?" Zhou Yanlan said casually.
"Do you think I?" Xuanyuan Feng asked solemnly.
Zhou Yanlan did not answer directly.
But he walked around in this newly rented office, and excitedly shouted: "Wow, Brother Xuanyuan, there are two rooms here, you and I just happen to have one for each person, the hall is used for office, it's perfect!" β
Xuanyuan Feng said, "You haven't answered me yet?" β
Zhou Yanlan looked at Xuanyuan Feng and said embarrassedly: "Actually, it's not exactly for you, it's also for my ideals!"
"Ideal?" Xuanyuan Feng asked suspiciously, "What does this have to do with your ideals?" β
Zhou Yanlan smiled and said, "I'll say it first, don't think I'm naΓ―ve, you can't laugh at me." β
Like Zhou Yanlan took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind and said:
"Although I relied on my parents and lived a good life, when I was in college, I also participated in a lot of social activities, and I also went to Daliang Mountain to see many children in very remote and poor places;
They have a bad fate, they were born in such a place and such a family, but they are also very kind and lovely, but they lack good conditions and opportunities.
I've been thinking about how unfair the world is sometimes!
Wealthy families are getting richer and richer, and the money for a meal can be enough for those mountain families to live for a year!
But in the eyes of the rich, they can't see these weak groups at all, and even hate, reject, and despise them. β
"And they themselves, seeing people who are stronger and richer than themselves, have lost all their dignity and dignity, and even have no shame!
Just want to get what you want!
I don't like this kind of life!
I don't want to be like that. β
Xuanyuan Feng's heart was shocked.
He never thought that the little girl in front of him would have such a broad and compassionate mind hidden in her heart!
Compared to her, she is really too narrow-minded.
Although Zhou Yanlan didn't mention anything related to Xuanyuan Feng, Xuanyuan Feng was not a fool.
He knew that Zhou Yanqing was now fighting with Yang Xiaocong, and the hatred between the Xuanyuan family and the Yang family was not the same;
Zhou Yanqing and the Zhou family will definitely not let Zhou Yanlan come to him, everything must be in the interests of the family.
I really didn't expect this stupid girl to run away from home for herself, and running away from home means that everything in the future will depend on herself.
Xuanyuan Feng asked seriously, "Yanlan, have you thought about the consequences of you running away from home?" Is it worth it? β
"It's worth it! I've thought about it repeatedly these days, it's nothing more than that my dad won't give me pocket money anymore and my car has been confiscated!
But it doesn't matter, I believe that the two of us will be able to succeed in entrepreneurship, and I can work my own! β
"Good!" Xuanyuan Feng was aroused by Zhou Yanlan's pride, a girl still has such courage and mind, so what else do you have to fear!
Xuanyuan Feng moved Zhou Yanlan's two big boxes into the big room and said, "Then the two of us will work hard and make a career for them!" β
"WELL, COME ON, FIGHTING!" Zhou Yanlan also said excitedly.
"Then let's settle these two rooms first, let's take a look at the furniture, and tidy up the room and office area;
In the early stage, we worked hard, eating, living and working together, and in the later stage, we changed to a better place when we had money. β
Xuanyuan Feng said.
"Great!" Zhou Yanlan is also full of confidence and longing.
The two of them immediately went out to find the second-hand furniture market, and spent a day buying two beds, cups, toiletries, buckets, basins, etc.;
Xuanyuan Feng also specially chose a beautiful dressing table for Zhou Yanlan.
Then I bought two desks, two computers, and a tea set.
After a tiring day, I finally basically set up two offices.
Looking at the new company and new home, the two of them glanced at each other, and their hearts were indescribably excited.
Xuanyuan Feng is okay, he has a superhuman physique, and he will never get tired.
It's just that Zhou Yanlan is a little tired!
It's no wonder that she has basically never worked like this since she was a child.
Zhou Yanlan was lying on the sofa next to the tea set, kept fanning the wind with a notebook, and said:
"Brother Xuanyuan, I'm tired, I'll rest for a while, now the weather is so hot, I have to buy an air conditioner, otherwise the guests will not be able to stand it."
Xuanyuan Feng nodded and said, "Yes, the air conditioner will be installed tomorrow, you have worked hard today, rest for a while, and then we will go down to eat." β
Zhou Yanlan fanned the wind for a while and asked, "Brother Xuanyuan, have you figured out what the name of our company is?" What is the main business? β
Xuanyuan Feng frowned and said, "This is exactly what I've been worrying about all this time.
The industries I used to know were biopharmaceuticals and genetics, but I only knew about management, and I basically only knew a little about the business.
And that industry requires too much capital for a startup like us to get involved in, but I can't think of anything else for a while. β
Zhou Yanlan smiled mischievously and said proudly: "Brother Xuanyuan, you have made money by finding me as a partner!"
I knew you were going to worry about this main business, I have an idea. β
"Oh, what an idea, you say it." Xuanyuan Feng asked curiously.
Zhou Yanlan put down the notebook, picked up the mineral water on the table, unscrewed it and took a sip, and said:
"My university major is international foreign trade English, I graduated, my dad wanted to ask me to go to a newly established new energy company under Hengdao Group to do foreign trade procurement.
I interned in it for three months, and I knew that the photovoltaic industry has been rising rapidly in the past two years, and the international market is opening up soon, but not many people know about it. β
"A few domestic state-owned enterprises have slowly begun to invest in the photovoltaic industry, and the most important thing is that for the purification of solar-grade silicon materials, there is no technology in China, and they need to be imported from Europe and the United States;
Especially in Germany, the finished product is very expensive, and only some semi-finished products can be processed, so the domestic demand is particularly large now.
The key is that the leftovers after the finished products of the current European and American enterprises are discarded and need to be disposed of, and foreign environmental protection regulations and strict treatment require corresponding treatment costs;
And these leftovers and scraps can actually be smelted and processed, domestic enterprises can do this, and the price is very high, 2,000 yuan a kilogram of Huaxia coin! β
Zhou Yanlan took out a USB flash drive from her bag, handed it to Xuanyuan Feng and said: "It contains the suppliers, customer information, specifications, and price quotes that I have accumulated in three months. β
Xuanyuan Feng looked at Zhou Yanlan dumbfounded, and said: "Yanlan, when it comes to this business, how come you seem to have changed as a person, no longer like the little girl who just graduated, but like a professional manager who has been on the battlefield for a long time." β
Zhou Yanlan said proudly: "Now you know how good I am!" β
Xuanyuan Feng had to say in admiration: "Amazing! β
He took the USB flash drive and asked a little hesitantly: "It's just that you took out all these materials, aren't you digging into your father's corner?" β
Zhou Yanlan shook her hand: "Brother Xuanyuan, what you said is not right, what do you mean by digging my father's corner?"
First of all, I'm still my dad's daughter, right?
This is called fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders!
Secondly, we are now in a small volume, where can we be listed to dig the foot of the wall, at most we can pick up some small fish and shrimp in it and raise our company first!
You can rest assured, this matter, An! β
Xuanyuan Feng nodded at this time, Zhou Yanlan really solved his own ** trouble, this is the benefit of rich people.
Because if you have money, you will have more resources; As soon as there are more resources, the platform will be bigger, and if the platform is big, the horizon will be wider!
Naturally, the business is getting bigger and bigger.
Just like a young girl like Zhou Yanlan, who has just graduated, she can see a lot of ways to make money when she studies casually in the family business.
Photovoltaic has emerged in the past two years, and the vast majority of people still don't know about this industry, and have always thought that it is high-tech applied in the aerospace and military industry;
In fact, it has long been popularized for civilian use abroad.
Of course, Xuanyuanfeng's understanding of photovoltaics at this moment is also at this stage.
Xuanyuan Feng said to himself: "Since we are doing new energy, then our main business is there, I think it is better for us to call it Shimmer New Energy!"
A great man once said that a spark can start a prairie fire, and a spark is not a glimmer of light.
The implication is that our faint light, which is just starting out, will one day become a dazzling star.
What do you think! β
Zhou Yanlan thought about it, read it carefully a few times, clapped her hands, and said:
"Shimmer,
Okay!
It's nice and meaningful!
Brother Xuanyuan, you are too powerful, our first company is called Shimmer New Energy! β
Xuanyuan Feng then asked: "Although the name is confirmed, and the main business is known, the next thing is how to operate."
Photovoltaic new energy, we are such a small company is estimated that it will definitely not be able to cut in from the production and research and development, and can only go through the trade link, right?
Listen to what you just meant, now that foreign scrap polysilicon is very cheap, we can buy it at a low price, and then ship it to China and sell it to domestic buyers at a high price? β
Zhou Yanlan gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Brother Xuanyuan is really powerful, and you grabbed the key point all of a sudden."
At the moment, we can only play the time difference and earn the difference.
We have no shortage of suppliers, and we are not short of customers.
My English is not a problem, I will communicate with foreign suppliers, and you will be responsible for domestic customers.
Our biggest problem right now is funding!
Brother Xuanyuan, do the math, how much money do we have left after renting the house? β
Xuanyuan Feng had already calculated it, and said without thinking: "About 110,000." β
Zhou Yanlan took out a card from her bag and said, "I still have 50,000 yuan here, adding up to 160,000, this is all our funds, and our business starts with these 160,000." β
Then Zhou Yanlan picked up the pen and calculated in the notebook: "Our purchase of waste silicon from Germany and Spain is now 5 US dollars a kilogram, the exchange rate is 7.6, and one kilogram is equivalent to 38 yuan in Huaxia currency."
If you go by sea, it is 35 Chinese yuan a kilogram to Hong Kong Island, and 25 yuan a kilogram from just arrived to the deep sea, a total of 98 yuan a kilogram;
Coupled with the freight and labor of the deep sea, the storage fee is 120 yuan a kilogram, 1200 yuan for 10 kilograms, 12000 for 100 kilograms, and 12000 for a ton.
Then we can theoretically buy a meal of polysilicon and 30,000 yuan of activity funds;
Because the suppliers are generally out in batches, our funds are not enough, and we can't eat too big goods, so we can only buy a few more small factories to make up for it. β
Xuanyuan Feng looked at Zhou Yanlan, who was seriously calculating, and smiled helplessly and said: "You kept saying that I would take you before, but now it seems that the money is also from you, the way is also from you, and the detailed situation and planning are also made by you, it seems that I have become superfluous." β
Zhou Yanlan raised her head and said seriously: "Brother Xuanyuan, you can't say that, the market customers rely on you, the wine also depends on you to drink, and the business still needs to be negotiated by you!"
In addition, according to the policy, each person only has a foreign exchange quota of 50,000 US dollars a year, and when it is used up, it will be gone, and a way must be found;
It's best to go to Hong Kong Island to register a trading company when the conditions are ripe, but how do you think it can be solved in the current situation? β
Xuanyuan Feng thought for a while and said: "I have a way to do this, I know a few friends who are underground money banks, and they can use their company on Hong Kong Island to help us send money, but they need to charge a certain handling fee." β
