The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

"Boss Cao, what are you doing?"

Someone in the corridor called Cao Yirui again.

From this we can also see that Cao Yirui's reputation as a generous rich man has spread. Many people like to make friends with such a good man with a lot of money.

Regarding this, Cao Yirui learned everything from his father Cao Shujie.

It’s a pity that Mr. Cao’s money has just been transferred out, and it’s useless to come and lick him now. It’s possible that these tens of thousands of dollars will not last until next year, and he will have to borrow from others.

Cao Yirui thought that when he went to borrow money from someone, a few of these grandsons would surround him.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Cao Yirui became more and more eager to try it out, and he couldn't wait to give it a try right now.

"Well, should I spend the remaining money before my sister gets her dividend?" A big question mark popped up in Cao Yirui's mind.

"Boss Cao." The student in the corridor shouted again.

Cao Yirui turned around, looked at Zhu Chao who was walking over, and asked him lazily, "Squad Leader Zhu, is there anything I can do for you?"

"I came out for a walk when I had nothing to do. What are you looking at here?" Zhu Chao asked him.

Cao Yirui pointed to the diagonal corner where he was standing. There was an artificial lake over there, and many people were playing around the lake. "I'm looking at the lake diagonally opposite our dormitory."

"Look, squad leader Zhu, so many people are dating there." Cao Yiru said seriously.

When Zhu Chao heard Cao Yirui say this, he also became interested: "Let me take a look."

"What's so good about it? Squad Leader Zhu, why don't you find a partner?" Cao Yirui asked him.

After hearing this, Zhu Chao said in a muffled voice: "I would like to, but I don't have money. Dating is so expensive nowadays. Let's forget it and wait until after graduation."

Cao Yiru thought to himself, you are absolutely right.

Zhu Chao turned around and asked him: "Boss Cao, you are so rich, why don't you find a partner?"

"My parents also told me to find a partner, preferably one who can bring the child back with me. They also said that we can both go to school and they will help take care of the child."

"That was in the past. I'm extremely poor now. I only have tens of thousands of dollars left on me, and I have to survive until the start of my sophomore year next year. I'm already struggling to eat by myself. If you ask me to find another one, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?" Cao Yiru said quickly.

Zhu Chao didn't know what to say as the words were half true and half false. He thought to himself, is tens of thousands of dollars not enough?
But if you think about it carefully, these tens of thousands of dollars are a lot for him, but for Cao, the famous rich man in the class, it is really poor.

According to incomplete statistics, Cao Yirui spent at least hundreds of thousands of yuan in the first two months after arriving at the school, and this was the money that Cao Yirui asked his classmates to spend.

They don't know more.

"Where is your money? If you don't have any, ask your parents for it." Zhu Chao gave him advice.

Originally, Zhu Chao wanted to organize a class bonfire party and was thinking about asking Boss Cao for some sponsorship, but he didn't expect that just before he came and even mentioned this, Boss Cao complained that he had no money.

How should he explain his idea of ​​getting sponsorship?
Zhu Chao felt bitter because he had kept such a good idea in his heart and it came to nothing.

……

After Cao Xuemeng received a total investment of 600 million RMB from her brother and Lei Xinyi, she started working hard without hesitation.

The rent of office space in good locations is too expensive and not cost-effective at all.

In addition, although Cao Xuemeng wanted to set up a design studio, she didn't intend to make it like the Bluebird Design Studio, where there were a lot of people but most of them were scheming against each other and few of them did their work.

According to Cao Xuemeng's plan, some departments don't need to exist at all, and some departments only need two or three people to support them.

In her opinion, when running a design studio, quality is more important than quantity. Except for the main departments such as the design department and the business department, other administrative departments with more than 5 people are a bit too many, and more than 10 people are considered extremely bloated, and the company is only one step away from bankruptcy.

Therefore, Cao Xuemeng decided to take the elite route from the very beginning. In addition, she graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts and had many fellow students and brothers, so the thing she had the most was talent.

As for the office space, Cao Xuemeng thought about it and decided that the rent should not be too expensive and the place did not need to be too luxurious. He should take on more projects in the early stages and spread his reputation through his business capabilities.

Once their design studio becomes really famous, it will not be too late to move to a better office building as office space.

In the busyness, more than a month passed in the blink of an eye.

During this month, Cao Xuemeng rented an office, recruited people as planned, and personally started working on the project.

She realized that she couldn't delay any longer.

Not to mention anything else, like the design studio recruiting people, any designer with a little ability has a monthly salary of no less than 2 yuan, and a real master can only be hired for tens of thousands of yuan. For example, she asked for 2 yuan from the Blue Bird Design Studio before, and that was not just a random request. She was also in a hurry to make some money at the time to fill her shortfall in savings and try to survive.

It's like selling your abilities at a low price.

But when Cao Xuemeng recruits people, she is aiming for the elites. She herself is very capable and has a very strong ability to distinguish when recruiting people. There is no market for those who want to pass themselves off as genuine here.

Cao Xuemeng would rather pay more wages than hire a few people to get by just for the sake of cheapness.

The consequence of this was that she thought the 600 million investment of her brother and good sister Lei Xinyi was quite a lot, but after the entire "Three Musketeers Design Studio" was built, the combined salaries of these people would cost hundreds of thousands a month, and Cao Xuemeng was completely stunned.

She didn't dare to waste any more time, so she put on a stern face and went to Xiaomi in person to solicit business.

Since no one at Xiaomi dared to let her participate in the bidding, Cao Xuemeng directly called her uncle Lei and asked them to make their "Three Musketeers Design Studio" operate normally first.

As for what to do next, we have to do it step by step.

Otherwise, relying solely on the 600 million investment from her brother and good sister, she would have spent all her money and it wouldn't last long.

However, just getting small orders from Xiaomi is not enough to maintain the normal operation of the Three Musketeers Design Studio.

Cao Xuemeng also needs to get a few more regular orders.

And if you want to make money from these orders, forget it, so Cao Xuemeng still wants to get a few big orders.

It just so happens that large orders require bidding, and this is where the salesmen in the business department come in handy.

Before these elites went to get orders, Cao Xuemeng held a special meeting with them and told them that as long as they could get large orders, they would receive a commission of 3% of the order amount.

What Cao Xuemeng calls big orders are basically orders with a seven-digit amount, and some projects even have annual general contractor orders exceeding eight digits.

But there are very few such large orders, and basically you need to use connections.

"Boss, what if someone cheats during the bidding?" asked Wen Yuzhe, a salesperson in the business department.

This is a very realistic problem. There are too many ways to manipulate bidding behind the scenes.

People who bid frequently know that there are endless methods such as bid rigging, tailor-made bidding documents, false bid evaluation, illegal subcontracting, etc., which make many small companies with no connections and no background completely helpless, miserable but with no place to seek justice.

Because no one listened to their cries for justice.

These are the situations that Wen Yuzhe was talking about.

Cao Xuemeng had never explained to them the origin of the Three Musketeers Design Studio, and Wen Yuzhe and the others were not clear about the strong background and heritage of the Three Musketeers Design Studio.

They only knew that their boss was a woman who was very rich at a young age.

Apart from the boss, they had never seen any other man accompanying the boss in and out of the Three Musketeers Design Studio.

In other words, the boss is not the kind of person who depends on men to survive as they privately think. She opened a design studio for fun based on her personal hobby to show her "value".

As for how the boss got the order from Xiaomi Group, they have no idea.

But they know that the boss has received Xiaomi orders one after another at a young age. From this point of view, the boss’s identity must be not simple.

But these are just guesses, because I don't know much about the boss and I have no idea what to do.

What Cao Xuemeng least wants others to know is her identity.

The cute princess succeeded in starting her own business entirely due to her own abilities!
Who do you look down on?
Cao Xuemeng raised her head calmly, looked at Wen Yuzhe who was asking the question, and told him: "Just go and get the business. Whether you can get the business or not is up to you. But if someone plays dirty tricks to harm us in the process of getting the business, come back and tell me, and I will go and talk to them in person."

"Yes!" Wen Yuzhe didn't dare to ask any more questions.

To be honest, facing Cao Xuemeng's sharp eyes, Wen Yuzhe was a little scared. He thought this matter was really weird. When he came to the business department, Wen Yuzhe conveyed the request from the boss to other colleagues and cheered them up.

"The boss said that we should run the business honestly. If anyone dares to use dirty tricks to take our orders, we will fight back directly. If we can't handle it, we will come back and tell the boss, and he will personally take action." This is what Wen Yuzhe said.

The others looked at each other in confusion. They always felt that Wen Yuzhe was not telling the truth.

Isn’t this too arrogant?
Going out to solicit business like this is purely asking for trouble. They couldn't understand why the boss said such a thing and always felt it was impossible.

"Wen Yuzhe, did you hear it right?" Du Qiuyang, another person in the business department asked him.

Wen Yuzhe swore, "What I said is true. This is what the boss meant. If you don't believe me, go ask him."

"Let's go, don't waste time here, hurry up and negotiate business to make big money." Someone said.

Others responded one after another, and except for the business manager Ning Changhu, all the other salesmen in the business department left.

The boss promised a commission of 3% of the order amount, which is equivalent to a commission of 100 yuan for a 3 million yuan order. As long as they can get a big order, they will get rich, and they all want to earn this money.

Because the salesmen from the business department who were "walking around the streets" looking for people to chat with in the design studio had all left, the Three Musketeers Design Studio, which was originally quite lively, became quiet for a while.

It was just that the atmosphere suddenly went from noisy to quiet, and the remaining people couldn't adapt to it.

They wanted to be busy, but the boss had finished completing the orders from Xiaomila and the other orders had not come in yet. Now was a period of time when there was a shortage of food and clothing, so they had no time to get busy even if they wanted to.

Just when they were thinking about having some fun and having some fun together, the boss Cao Xuemeng came to the design department.

She smiled and said to everyone: "Hey, guys, I'm going to give you a big job, so you all should cheer up. If anyone keeps looking so dead, don't blame me for killing you."

It’s a pity that Cao Xuemeng lacked the momentum when scolding others, and she didn’t have the domineering power she had when she slammed the table with Tan Borong.

Cao Xuemeng also knew this. The last time he went against Tan Borong, it was a class struggle between them, a life-and-death struggle. Cao Xuemeng was definitely going to crush him to death at that time.

But now these are his seniors, juniors, and comrades who started the Three Musketeers Studio together. There is no difference between the two.

After chatting with them for a while, Cao Xuemeng also went to get orders.

The key is that this order is placed at Xuemeng Food Factory.

Cao Xuemeng certainly cannot keep taking advantage of Xiaomi Group. Even if she wants to continue taking advantage of it, she has to switch to another company.

Because of this, our own Xuemeng Food Factory lined up in advance.

She has already decided to call Xuemeng Food Factory and discuss all of Xuemeng Food Factory's design business from now to next year.

There is a saying that goes, good things should be kept within the family.

Cao Xuemeng felt that the designers at Xuemeng Food Factory had backward ideas. Assigning these design tasks to her could increase the sales of Xuemeng Food Factory by at least 10 percentage points. It would also let people know that Princess Mengmeng was not a good-for-nothing, but had her own value.

As for the possibility that Xuemeng Food Factory might not give her the order, Cao Xuemeng didn't dare to think about it, unless they were extremely bold or they were taking drugs.

Cao Xuemeng felt that if those people had normal thinking, they would not go against their own princess.

A phone call was made and the person who answered the phone was Hu Yong. Cao Xuemeng directly asked him whether Xuemeng Food Factory had any outsourced design orders recently.

"Uncle Yong, I have now set up a Three Musketeers Design Studio, which specializes in the design of the appearance and packaging of various products. If our factory has any business in this area, please take care of my niece's business." Cao Xuemeng felt that she had expressed her intentions in a very tactful tone.

If Hu Yong still doesn't understand, then he is unworthy of his position.

After hearing this, Hu Yong said to Cao Xuemeng without thinking, "Mengmeng, isn't it a coincidence that we have several orders right now? I'll send you the requirements and you can get me a design drawing as soon as possible."

"Okay, Uncle Yong, I think it's a bit of a loss for you to be a purchasing manager at Xuemeng Food Factory. Have you ever considered developing in other areas?" Cao Xuemeng asked him.

Hu Yong: "..."

Is this poaching people into your own company?
Since becoming the purchasing manager of Xuemeng Food Factory, Hu Yong has become a senior purchasing manager with his excellent work ability and personal qualities. He is also the first senior manager since the establishment of the purchasing department of Xuemeng Food Factory.

Because of this, Hu Yong would never become a rebel ninja.

Cao Xuemeng also knew the result, she just asked casually.

Having already achieved the desired result, Cao Xuemeng had no time to continue chatting with Hu Yong as she had to accept the design order from Xuemeng Food Factory.

With the long-term orders from Xuemeng Food Factory as the support for the Three Musketeers Design Studio, they can focus on developing other businesses with this as the center.

In fact, Cao Xuemeng knew very well that businesses like those of Xiaomi Group and Xuemeng Food Factory were merely a way out for them. If they really wanted to expand and strengthen the design studio's business, they should explore more new sources of business.

Even Cao Xuemeng herself went out to do business.

But when she went out, she remembered to bring Wu Shangying with her.

People are cunning and the world is dangerous.

Cao Xuemeng is not a person who is ignorant of worldly affairs, nor is she unaware of how complicated this society is. Precisely because of this, she understands that it is very dangerous outside.

When going out on business, letting Wu Shangying accompany him can at least ensure that his personal safety is not affected.

Cao Xuemeng felt that her mother must have had this consideration in mind when she sent Aunt Wu Shangying over.

……

That night, after returning home from the Three Musketeers Design Studio, Cao Xuemeng suddenly felt a little tired.

Recently I have been running around the market, coordinating resources from all aspects, trying to get as many orders as possible for my own designers so that they have work to do. I also have to participate in some companies' design bidding activities.

The key point is that this thing is really tiring, and Cao Xuemeng also feels overwhelmed by it every day.

Only then did she truly understand how tired her father had been in the past.

It suddenly dawned on me. No wonder I always saw my father looking very tired when I was a child. He would always keep a smile on his face when he came home from outside. It turned out that her father was more tired than she was every day.

The key point is that Cao Xuemeng now realizes that hard work does not necessarily lead to results, which is the most difficult thing for Cao Xuemeng to accept.

But Cao Xuemeng also knew that even if she didn't want to accept it, this was a fact.

Lei Xinyi came to play with her after school today. Seeing that she looked listless, Lei Xinyi asked her if she had her period today.

"Bullshit, I've been discussing business with others all day, it's so annoying." Cao Xuemeng complained.

Lei Xinyi smiled proudly: "Sister Mengmeng, so the business is pretty good. Tell me, how much money can you make by the end of the year?"

Cao Xuemeng has never really calculated the cost, and some orders are very complicated and take a long time to draw.

"I estimate that I will only make a few million by the end of the year, so don't expect too much," said Cao Xuemeng.

In fact, having this profitability is already very good.

Many newly established companies suffer losses in the first one or two years, and gradually go bankrupt as they can no longer sustain themselves.

There are only a few entrepreneurial companies that can actually survive and start making profits.

But Cao Xuemeng relied on his connections to get orders from Xiaomi Group and Xuemeng Food Factory.

They also rely on this to continue to expand the market.

However, the market is not limited to Xiaomi Group and Xuemeng Food Factory, there are many other companies.

There are also many companies that are larger than Xiaomi Group and Xuemeng Food Factory. The Three Musketeers Design Studio also encountered a lot of trouble when expanding the market.

Lei Xinyi couldn't bear to listen to Sister Mengmeng's complaints, so she pulled Sister Mengmeng's arm and was about to walk out: "Sister Mengmeng, let's go, I'll treat you to a drink and relax."

"What are you drinking? I'm not going." Cao Xuemeng was too lazy to move now: "I'm too tired, Xinyi, how about you massage my legs and arms for me?"

Seeing Cao Xuemeng's lazy look, Lei Xinyi rolled her eyes and started to play with her. (End of this chapter)
