280. Countercurrent Design Office
After eating, Huang Shouzhen and Cai Siqi said goodbye to each other and walked home on foot, before taking out all the documents that the other party handed him before the meal and checking them carefully.
The school's material support subsidy is similar to what he saw on the official website before, that is, on the basis of the national entrepreneurship support policy implemented by the municipal government, it has slightly added some small discounts that belong to the local area.
As for the school's internal support policy, it is the same as what he saw on the official website.
One is to provide him with the office space he wants, which is a small office on the other side of the activity center, for free, and let him use it for three years.
Second, after he successfully establishes the studio, he can also go to the school to apply for an entrepreneurship support fund of 10,000 yuan.
Overall, Bailu University's entrepreneurship support policy is quite good.
"Shouzhen, are you sure you want to open a studio?" Xu Fan and the others asked while working when they saw that Huang Shouzhen was really looking at those entrepreneurial support documents.
"Yes, our business volume in Chuzhou City has been relatively stable, and it is urgent to create a studio, otherwise if it goes on like this, it will depend on the strength of the four of us, and we will gradually become too busy, and we must cultivate another group of people.
And there are a lot of chores that can be handed over to other people, so you can concentrate on design. Huang Shouzhen had nothing to hide from Xu Fan and the others, and replied directly.
"That's true, but it costs a lot of money to open a studio, right?"
"No, opening a studio is not a company, it doesn't cost much money itself, and only registered companies need registered capital...... But I want to renovate the studio a little simply, and it is estimated that it will cost tens of thousands of dollars. Huang Shouzhen replied casually.
For the matter of the studio, he has already thought about it, just register the individual business first, and if the scale of the business is bigger in the future, he will cancel the studio and turn it into a limited company.
Anyway, in the early stage of starting a business, it is definitely not cost-effective to start a company.
After Huang Shouzhen read the information sent by Cai Siqi, he followed the steps and procedures given by the other party, first filled in the form for applying for the office space of the school, and then handed it to the other party the next day.
Later, because of the latter's help, the school quickly approved it, and in just three days, he got the venue certificate provided by the school, as well as the key to the office, etc.
In addition, the school can also provide him with some desks and chairs for free, but Huang Shouzhen didn't ask for it.
As a design studio, the office environment still has to have a certain grade and taste, so he is going to go to Zou Wenna to buy the furniture, otherwise when the customers here in Bailu City come to negotiate in the future, they will see that the office environment of their studio is too bad, and they have to leave directly.
After all, there are still a lot of snobbery in this world who only look at the surface.
Of course, he is not in a hurry to buy furniture for the time being, because before that, he has to decorate the studio.
One of the most important is the functional planning of the work area.
The office space provided by the school is a large frame structure, although it is the size of two classrooms (about 100 square meters), but it is currently completely connected, with only load-bearing columns in the middle, but no partition walls, so he needs to invite someone to come over to renovate and renovate.
But that's exactly what he wants.
Because in his opinion, as a complete studio, in addition to the main office area, there must also be a reception/front desk, a separate negotiation room, a back office, a material room, and his personal office.
Anyway, he is a designer himself, and he is a guy who knows a lot about the design industry, and he can control all the space planning and decoration costs of the studio.
A week later, after Huang Shouzhen got out all the design plans and construction drawings of the studio, he no longer hesitated, and went directly to the local industrial and commercial bureau in Bailu City with all the information needed to register the studio.
He must get this matter done completely before May Day, after all, the time to apply for the certificate is quite long, at least ten days, more than half a month, if you wait until after May Day, the third phase of the Yinhu Community project is opened, he will definitely not have time to go around these things for three more days.
In addition to registering the studio, in the period before May Day, Huang Shouzhen also finalized the renderings of Zhang Guifang's sister and brother's villa.
After that, he went to the city to determine the materials needed for the decoration of the studio with those material vendors, and by the way, he informed the material vendors who were cooperating with him of the news of his establishment of a design studio.
The reason why he had to inform them was because after he had a fixed office location, he no longer had to go to the material market in person as before, but only had to wait for those material dealers to take the initiative to send him the sample documents of the existing goods in the store.
In this way, once he uses the materials in their store in his new projects, he only needs to call those material suppliers and ask them to deliver them to the construction site.
However, what made Huang Shouzhen cry and laugh was that when he came to inform those material dealers that he would open a studio in the university town and buy decoration materials from them by the way, those material dealers did not say a word, and directly provided him with all the materials needed for decoration for free, without asking for a penny.
This made Huang Shouzhen, who had already planned to spend tens of thousands of yuan to decorate, save a lot of money.
"This is the benefit of being a pure designer who doesn't take back the buckle!" Huang Shouzhen sighed silently.
In fact, he didn't know that the reason why these material dealers did this was purely to promote the cooperative relationship between them, which could be regarded as a relative investment in him.
However, he saved all the money for decoration materials, but he couldn't save the cost of buying air conditioning and asking the decoration team to construct.
A week before May Day, Huang Shouzhen also officially got his own business license for his personal design studio from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
As for the name of the studio, it is the name he had already thought of in advance in his freshman LOGO design course: Countercurrent Design Office!
Xu Fan and the others were a little unclear about this name, but they didn't ask much.
No matter what Huang Shouzhen does or what name he chooses, he must have his own ideas and plans, and there is no need for them to interfere.
However, the studio's business license is down, but they want to officially move in to work, but it is still very early.
Because the office is currently under construction, and after the renovation is completed, it will take a while for them to ventilate before they can enter, so they want to move here to work, and it will be two months at the earliest.
