Rebirth in 1993, My Dad is a Returned Youth

Chapter 225 New Partner

After half a month of stability, Li Kang finally couldn't hold on any longer.

Finally, I had to call my old friend Chen Xu.

Chen Xu has been taking a leisurely trip recently, even having time to travel to Japan, and his next step will be to go to the United States.

An income of thirty to forty thousand a month is enough for him to spend lavishly.

"Brother, if you had called me one day later, I would have gone to America."

"Are you interested in partnering with me? I'm starting a business and running a training class. I'm short of staff and I'm in urgent need of talent like Brother Chen."

"Wow!" Chen Xu was a little surprised, "You are really brave, so courageous."

He doesn't want to change jobs even though he's getting a high salary every month, and he doesn't want to move out of his comfort zone.

Li Kang said in a seductive way, just like Niu Yun had seduced Cai Xin in the past, "Brother Chen, I want to create a great company to solve the problem of unbalanced educational resources in the mainland in the future. If you can come to help me, I can do my best."

"Ah?!" Chen Xu was somewhat moved and infected.

With his income level, who wouldn’t want to go further and do something big?

But he doesn't have the courage. He can do things, but he lacks the determination like Li Kang.

If the two of them work together, it should be very effective.

"I currently earn 30,000 to 40,000 yuan a month. Would you like me to start a business with you?"

"Brother Chen, although the salary I pay you now is only one tenth of your current income, the future prospects are broad! The education and training industry is a huge cake, enough to fill you up. I have done some research and found that a resignation in the north has made a big difference. Many students in the south have to travel thousands of miles to go to his place for classes. If we can make it in Shanghai, East China, Central China, and South China will all be ours."

Chen Xu was really tempted by the prospect he was talking about. He asked him again, "What business do you want me to do?"

"Brother Chen has good spoken English, so he's suitable for high-end training business. He can teach the children of rich people."

"What about you? Do you provide study abroad services?"

"Of course, I have relevant experience after all. I promise that after you come, I can mobilize your connections to recruit teachers and give you certain personnel rights."

Chen Xu no longer had any reason to refuse. Li Kang had given him such a big stage. Even though the salary was not high, it would be more fulfilling for him to display his talents than his current job.

He has cancelled all the subsequent trips, so why would he go to the United States?

Get on the plane and head straight to Shanghai.

After Li Kang and Chen Xu reached an agreement, they breathed a sigh of relief temporarily, as the overseas study training business was really booming right now.

With his successful performance at the China Normal University and several free classes, his fame was completely established.

Hundreds of people have already signed up for his study abroad training, which also includes visa application interviews, school application and other services.

General exam training costs three thousand yuan, and if you add the full set of study abroad services, it will be five thousand yuan.

There are even mock interviews for visas, school selection, major selection, etc.

But at this time, Xindongfang also began to come to Shanghai to compete for students.

It seemed that Lao Yu had heard that Li Kang was very capable, so he even sent someone to pass a message over, hoping that Li Kang would join him and become his partner.

Li Kang just laughed at this. He had the best of both worlds in Shanghai, and only a fool would cooperate with him.

According to Li Kang, Xindongfang currently has 2,000 students and has just obtained the qualification to run a school. It has more than 40 teachers and an annual profit of more than 9 million.

Some of his best partners in the early days of his business, including Xu Xiaoping, Minister of Culture of the Peking University Youth League Committee, and Wang Qiang, Director of the Peking University Art Troupe, are still abroad.

The people Li Kang sent had not yet been found. Now the people following Lao Yu were people he did not know.

From this we can see that Lao Yu is a very stable person. He started his business in 91, and by 93, his business was basically in BJ, and students from Shanghai and Guangzhou had to take the bus to attend classes.

He had plenty of time.

At that time, not many people realized that there was a huge market for education and training.

Although many schools have opened relevant study abroad services, they are all for students in the school and rarely advertised to the outside world. In addition, the teaching level of the teachers is also a big problem. How can a flower grown in a greenhouse compete with a person who has experienced wind and rain?

This gave Li Kang the opportunity to develop.

He must seize the Shanghai market before Lao Yu sees him as a competitor. Li Kang had just handed out a job when a difficult matter came up. Li Xueer told him over the phone.
Because the enrollment is too fast, the classrooms and teachers are unable to keep up. Many students have complained in the questionnaire that there are too many people and the lectures are not effective.

There was no other way. Li Kang currently only had one large classroom, which was converted from a warehouse.

Originally designed to accommodate more than 300 people, now more than 500 people have to be squeezed into one large classroom.

There’s no chance it will work.

If Li Kang didn’t provide useful information and be interesting in every class, I’m afraid these students wouldn’t have such good patience.

"How much money is left in the account now?"

"Three million."

Li Kang was in a dilemma: with three million yuan, should he build a building?
The money is definitely not enough.

Moreover, as the business expands, the small building that cost three million yuan to build will soon be abandoned.

Either don’t build it, or build a bigger building, as tall as more than ten stories.

Building a building will cost at least five million yuan. See if you can get a bank loan.

It’s not easy to get a bank loan these days. You either need to have connections or assets.

It is the same in every era, especially in 1993 when we were experiencing some unstable factors and a large number of state-owned enterprise employees were laid off.

Banks are very cautious in lending.

When Li Kang went to the bank, no one was willing to lend him money.

You just have a small workshop with no assets. Who would dare to lend you money, unless you don’t want to eat?

Every branch manager responded to him with, "The risk is too great, we cannot lend you the money."

Li Kang had no choice but to continue renting a house and expand the original classroom as much as possible.

And he wore a loudspeaker during class.

This is the only way to make sure everyone can hear his voice.

For now, we can only make do with letting students attend classes.

In class, Li Kang once again asked the students a soul-searching question: "No matter where you go in the future, you must always remember that you are Chinese and descendants of the dragon. Always be proud of your country. If you don't do well in the United States in the future, you can come back. Teacher Li will keep a place for you."

"Teacher Li, how can we not do well in America? When we make money, I will help you buy a luxury house in America."

"Okay, kid, what's your name? I remember what you said. You owe me a luxury house in San Francisco, USA. Of course, this is a joke."

The students were amused by his humor and supported Li Kang's class. It not only allowed them to understand some things about the United States, but also allowed them to learn knowledge, both in the textbooks and outside the textbooks.

"My name is Xie Duoduo, majoring in electronic information and technology."

When Li Kang heard about this major, he silently wrote down his name.

After class, I looked through the student roster.

The first row is the student's name, and the second row is the major, school and other information.

The statistical information is a bit messy, and there is no separation between liberal arts and science and engineering.

Li Kang still has to choose one by one.

When Li Kang sees a suitable science and engineering student, he will pay special attention to him.

Found the information of Xie Duoduo.

【Xie Duoduo, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Electronic Information and Technology, senior year. 】

A boy who looks optimistic and cheerful, and has a very high level of education.

I didn’t expect that there would be people in his class who would hand it in.

The registration was done by Zhang Xiting, the girl that Li Kang met at the Bird factory.

He was only seventeen or eighteen years old and had not even finished high school when he came to Shanghai to work.

I was very envious when I saw Li Kang looking so proud when he was serving as a translator.

Li Kang also left her his phone number. If she hadn't called him, he would have forgotten about this girl from Deyang, Sichuan.

When he was in college, there was a girl from Deyang, Sichuan who left a deep impression on him.

Zhang Xiting felt that working on the assembly line in a factory had no future, so after earning enough to live on, she quit her job and came to live with Li Kang.

Since Li Kang had promised others, he did not regret it. Seeing that she was smart, could read and write, and had a sweet and lovely appearance, he gave her the job of registration at the front desk.

There is really a shortage of people.

Zhang Xiting had suffered in a factory and knew that only by following Li Kang could she have a chance to change her fate, so she was willing to learn and work hard.

I quickly got the hang of the job and I still study English when I have free time.

He immediately called Zhang Xiting over.

"Boss, what's the matter?"

"Xiting, when you register student information in the future, you must separate the different major types. Arts is one category, and science and engineering is another."

"Boss, what are liberal arts and what are science and engineering?"

"..."

"Didn't you go to high school?"

Zhang Xiting shook her head vigorously and said in a muffled voice: "My family is too poor. I only thought about making money. I never thought about continuing my studies after graduating from junior high school."

"..."

Well, Li Kang really didn't expect that the person he accepted out of softness had never even attended high school.

However, Zhang Xiting has one advantage, which is her good figure. Even though she is close to the basin, her hills are very prominent.

It can be said that he has amazing talent.

"When you get off work, learn more from Li Xueer. She has been to college and does an excellent job."

Li Xueer just happened to come over with documents, and she was very happy to hear Li Kang praising her.

I encouraged myself in my heart: Come on, Li Xueer, as long as you are willing to work hard, the boss will definitely recognize and accept you!

This woman's mind was full of Li Kang's shadow, and she even ignored her ex-boyfriend when he came to her to get back together.

"Boss, I have good news."

"What good news?" Li Kang has been under a lot of work pressure recently, and the smile on his face is uglier than a bitter gourd.

Li Xueer chuckled when she saw him laughing.

"Boss, you look so cute when you smile."

"You can't flirt with your boss while you're working! But now it's time to get off work, so you can talk."

Li Xueer was controlled by the rhythm of his speech. Her mood fluctuated and she felt itchy.

I really envy those two female students.

Hey, it seems that the boss likes young girls?

But I’m not old, I’m only twenty-one.

Retracting her thoughts, Li Xueer said to Li Kang, "There is an old school nearby, and the original principal is planning to sell it. Isn't the boss looking for classrooms? We can buy some and use them temporarily."

"How did you find it?"

"Some of my classmates joined real estate companies after graduation. When we met by chance, we talked about this. But their companies also took a fancy to the school and wanted to buy it to develop real estate."

"Your classmates can tell you this information, it seems that they trust you."

Li Kang took out 5,000 yuan for the activity fund and said, "Use this money first. If it's not enough, tell me again and try to get more information from your classmates."

"No, that's not necessary, Boss. That classmate of mine is a good friend from college."

After that, she mustered up her courage and said to Li Kang, "Can I have dinner with the boss tonight? We can talk about it in detail."

Li Kang didn't expect that Li Xueer didn't want money, and her request was to have a meal with him.
In consideration of the other party's hard work and great contributions, Li Kang agreed.

After get off work, most employees have to take some flyers home.

Li Kang provided incentives, and all the students he recruited could receive 10% of the registration fee.

Therefore, everyone in the team is very enthusiastic. They work hard at work and do not forget to attract students to help promote the school after work.

In the car, Li Kang was driving in the front and Li Xueer was sitting in the back.

Because of Ye Yuqing's presence, she didn't dare sit in the passenger seat for fear of arousing the other party's hostility.

"Where would you like to eat? Any recommendations?"

"Can we go to the tavern for a drink?"

Li Xueer quickly explained: "I just saw that the boss is under a lot of pressure recently and should relax appropriately."

In consideration of the good news she brought, Li Kang was willing to sacrifice his looks a little.

When we arrived at the pub, the atmosphere was very lively.

The smell in the air can stimulate people's hormones.

Before that, Li Kang had to call two people to report.

They have almost become fixed daily check-in tasks, and any one of them cannot be missed.

Fang Linxue had almost no doubts about him, trusted him 100%, and also told him not to overwork himself.

She said she wanted to help him many times, but Li Kang always refused with excuses and asked her to wait.

Ye Yuqing was not so easy to deal with, and Li Kang had to use a lot of words to calm her down.

"Humph, you're just out there flirting with pretty girls. You must be thinking the same thing about me."

"Why does someone's mouth sound so sour? I seem to smell the vinegar of the void."

"Who is jealous of you? Just hang out outside. I need to study."

Ye Yuqing said this, and basically nothing happened.

If you remain silent, that would be a big problem.

Their relationship had already developed into a romantic relationship, but someone had never admitted it.

People stayed at his house on weekends.

Li Xueer was very envious when she saw Li Kang calling the boss's wife.

"The boss is really energetic and considerate to his girlfriends." Li Xueer winked at him in a somewhat ambiguous way.

When Li Kang heard his girlfriends, he immediately reached out and patted her on the butt.

The sound was very loud and the two of them could hear it clearly.

"What are you talking about! How could she be my girlfriend?"

Li Xueer's body trembled after being slapped by him. Her body was numb. Her eyes were full of love and she bit her lips lightly. She looked very charming.

"Waiter, bring the wine!"

Then Li Kang said seriously: "Tell me about your classmate in real estate? Why is he willing to reveal company secrets to you?"
