Chapter 44 I want to start a company
The popularity of the oil painting contest gradually faded. But the afterglow is slowly revealed. First of all, the interest class for deaf and mute children officially entered the attention of the general public, and Cen Man's inspirational story was used as an example to spark a national discussion. On this day, Huang Lao came to Cen Man excitedly: "Today's interest class has enrolled four more deaf and dumb children. There are also many parents of children with mild intellectual disabilities and autism who come to the gallery for consultation and ask if we can take in their children. ”
Cen Man smiled silently, because of the particularity of this kind of children, they need more professional teachers to teach and accompany them, and with the current level of the art museum, it is impossible to meet the conditions.
Huang Lao sighed with emotion that it would be great if there was such a company that could integrate all the special education institutions in T City, and then help those parents who came to consult and recommend the most suitable training institutions for them according to their children's conditions and financial conditions.
Unfortunately, such a company or institution is destined to be unprofitable, so no one will do such a thankless task. Even a listed company like Ji's, which is not bad for money, can take out a part of the funds every year to do charity and fund art museums, after all, the purpose of shareholders is to make money and not to be good people.
Cen Man listened to Huang Lao's words and thought thoughtfully. The Cen family has also been brilliant, although it is not welcomed in the family, but there has never been a shortage of food and clothing, so such a practical consideration makes Cen Man feel very moved.
She told Huo Li about Huang Lao's words and her own thoughts. Huo Li scoffed, "Why no company is willing to fund such an institution, wouldn't it be good to find a few more cooperation, anyway, everyone has to contribute money to charity every year, why not make it bigger and sit in the open?" Huo Li's words made Cen Man suddenly enlightened, yes, there is great power in numbers.
"If I want to open an agency like this, will I be okay?" Cen Man carefully wrote down this question, peeking at Huo Li's face as he wrote.
President Huo, who felt that Cen Man's appearance was cute, glanced at the problem and revealed domineeringly: "If you can really do it, the first investment will be on me." ”
Huo Li said boldly, and soon he knew how big a hole he had dug for himself.
Cen Man really moved this idea. She approached Bai Annian to consult the relevant legal procedures.
Bai Annian felt that he could be frightened by Cen Man every time he saw her, and deeply felt that the seemingly weak Cen Man and the decisive and domineering Huo Li really couldn't tell who was accommodating whom.
Cen Man's special education consulting company quietly unfolded the blueprint in full swing.
In the Huo family's mansion, Mrs. Huo was complaining to Yang Meilian about Cen Man.
"You said that she was a dumb person, not only was she not ashamed, but she also showed up outside in the name of the Huo family, and now everyone knows that she is Mrs. Huo Shao, and if Xiaoli wants to divorce her in the future, won't it be a storm in the city."
Yang Meilian obediently explained this Mrs. Huo and echoed her words.
"Hey, it's also a blessing for Xiaoli, how nice it would be if my daughter-in-law were you." Mrs. Huo patted Yang Meilian's hand, full of regret. Yang Meilian pretended to be shy: "Auntie, I am willing to wait for Mr. Huo to divorce, I... I don't care about those rumors, I only like him as a person. ”
Mrs. Huo shook her head: "Silly boy, your conditions are so good, you should think more about yourself when you meet the right person, it will be a long time before Huo Li divorces." Yang Meilian asked why suspiciously, Mrs. Huo realized that she had lost her words for a while, and it involved the secrets of the Huo family, no matter how Yang Meilian knocked on the side, she no longer discussed Huo Li's marriage.
Yang Meilian was shocked in her heart, what did Mrs. Huo mean by this, obviously she vowed not long ago to break up Huo Li and Cen Man, why did this attitude turn a hundred and eighty degrees? Could it be that she has already admitted that Cen Man is the daughter-in-law of the Huo family, no, if Mrs. Huo had recognized Cen Man, she would not have complained about Cen Man's various wrongs in front of her today. There must be something hidden in this, but I don't know how to find out? It seems that we still have to find a way to start from Cen Man.
Cen Man stands downstairs at Jinding Company, a media company that has just made its mark in the business world, and Cen Man is the first target he chooses to ask for sponsorship. Bai Annian had already prepared the necessary legal materials for Cen Man to start a company, and she had the courage to walk in with a thick stack of envelopes.
The front desk lady showed a professional sweet smile and greeted Cen Man: "Hello Mrs. Huo, Mr. Lei is already waiting for you in the office." Cen Man nodded and smiled gratefully at Miss Chong, and walked into Mr. Lei's office under her leadership.
Lei Yu, the boss of Jinding, is forty-five years old this year, with a huge beer belly and a chubby face, and when he saw Cen Man, he quickly stood up to welcome him. Cen Man politely handed him the prepared lobbying draft, because she couldn't speak, Bai Annian helped her write the content she wanted to lobby and print it into a document like a planning book, so that these businessmen could read and refer to it in their busy schedules.
tried to pretend to be calm, but in fact, Cen Man's heart was pounding, like a little rabbit.
Except for Huo Li and Ji Shenyan, this is the first time she has come into contact with other big bosses, and she is always a little apprehensive and shy with the mentality of hoping that the other party will invest.
Mr. Lei carefully read the information brought by Cen Man, and his face was full of friendly smiles. "Mrs. Huo Shao is worthy of being a member of the Huo family, the content of this plan is very detailed, and the concept is also very good." Cen Man breathed a sigh of relief.
"However," Mr. Lei changed his words: "With all due respect, if Mrs. Huo wants to find someone to invest, President Huo is a ready-made gold mountain, so why bother to come to a small company like us?" ”
Bai Annian once told Cen Man that groups like Ji and Huo, which already account for half of the country, have a special department to control their annual spending on charity, because doing charity can not only improve the company's image, but also enjoy the policy of tax reduction and exemption. The larger the company, the more complete the system, and it is difficult to convince them easily.
Emerging small businesses are different, firstly, because they are not as profitable as large companies and do not focus exclusively on charity; Second, with their strength, that charitable donation can't bring much tax-free income, so if they want to unite some group companies to fund Cen Man's company, they are the best choice.
Cen Man took out a pen and paper and wrote quickly: "Mr. Lei doesn't have to be presumptuous, although the Huo Group is strong, our concept is to gather multiple enterprises to participate in the development of special education institutions, and we do not plan to be a monopoly." ”
Mr. Lei nodded in understanding. Cen Man thought he would agree, but Mr. Lei's answer made her very frustrated.
"Mrs. Huo, maybe I will inject capital into your company for the sake of Mr. Huo's face, but in business, it is impossible for Huo's to choose Jinding for business cooperation, so my money is just a waste of favors, please don't blame me for being selfish, we are not a listed company, I am responsible for my employees."
"I admire your deeds and support your good deeds, but Jinding has no plans to get involved in charity, and I can't see the benefits in you, so I'm sorry."
Mr. Lei politely sent Cen Man out of the company, and repeatedly expressed his hope that she could say hello to President Huo for himself.
This is probably the slickness of the businessman, rejecting you but not hurting each other's harmony.
Cen Man went to the back few small enterprises that were not as strong as Jinding, and their person in charge or manager said similar things to Mr. Lei, who was ideologically supportive, but unwilling to pay money.
I didn't expect the first step to be taken so hard, Cen Man was a little sullen, and this mood lasted until Huo Li went home.
At a glance, it can be seen that Huo Li, who has eaten a "closed door" for a day, is a little funny. He pulled Cen Man, who was still reading the information repeatedly, up and hugged him whole.
Cen Man honestly nestled in Huo Li's arms and didn't say a word.
"Is that disappointing? Which company doesn't start from the time of decline, it's easy to spend money and hard to make money. Even if it's Huo's, do you think that you will invest so heavily in projects that have no return from the beginning? ”
Cen Man admitted that what Huo Li said was very reasonable, but she just felt that she was very useless.
"How can a little flower raised in a greenhouse like you be able to beat those old fritters who are working hard in the business world." Cen Man stood up and gestured at Huo Li, meaning that he was not a flower in the greenhouse, so don't look down on her.
Huo Li pressed the person back into his arms and couldn't help teasing her: "If you can take out the stubbornness in front of me, I'm afraid you won't be able to deal with those people?" Cen Man secretly glanced at him, and knew that this man was very stingy, and from time to time he had to talk about her resistance to him.
Huo Li was in a good mood because of Cen Man's obedience, rubbed the top of her hair, and said half-jokingly: "If you are willing to beg me, how about I give you a trick to settle the golden tripod?" Cen Man typed on his mobile phone: "I don't want to use your and Huo's name to suppress others." ”
There was a warm current in her heart, and the little woman said that she didn't want to use him. Huo Li's always cold face smiled, but fortunately Cen Man couldn't see it.
"I took over the Huo clan at the age of sixteen, do you think it's just a lone soldier?" Huo Li pointed to his head: "I rely on wisdom." Cen Man was amused by Huo Li's childish appearance, and laughed out loud, which provoked Huo Li's index finger to move, and directly hugged the person to the bed, and said condescendingly; Don't beg me yet,"
Cen Man kept smiling, and couldn't wait for her to say something, Huo Li couldn't wait to enjoy his "big meal".
Cen Man didn't take Huo Li's words seriously, Huo Li's lack of objection to what she did was already a big concession, and she didn't want to bother him because of her own trivial matters.
Who knew that Huo Li gave her a surprise.
"Knowing oneself and knowing the other side can win all battles." Huo Li handed her a pile of information and dropped a sentence incomprehensibly.
The information is the life of Mr. Lei and the whole process of Jinding from its establishment to development. This is not a public information that can be found by the outside world, and it is even clear what elementary school Mr. Lei went to and how many relationships he talked about.
