Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

College students' purchasing power is indeed astonishing.

With the arrival of freshmen at the start of the new semester, and with Li Haoyu and Huang Qingsen's efforts to expand their agent network, their campus agent team has basically covered the entire Xishan University Town.

They sold several thousand more lazy desks, essentially monopolizing the student market.

This time, Li Haoyu was not stingy.

In addition to the agents' regular commissions, each person received an extra bonus.

Leaving aside Li Haoyu himself, and Huang Qingsen and other campus agent managers.

Xishan Media has a total of 10 campus agents, and each of them receives between 3,000 and 5,000 yuan in cash.

As stacks of cash were distributed to each campus agent, Li Haoyu noticed a change in how each agent looked at him. The students seemed to be treating him like a god of wealth, almost worshipping him.

This is indeed a considerable fortune!

In this era, the average college student's monthly living expenses are only around one thousand yuan.

This amount of money is enough for them to buy a decent laptop or mobile phone.

The power of money is immediate.

Many of the campus agents are actually much older than Li Haoyu.

But when it came time to divide the money, everyone was so impressed with Li Haoyu that they practically prostrated themselves before him and shouted "Long live the Emperor!"

Everyone agreed to have a celebratory banquet together, and Li Haoyu did not refuse.

……

A stir-fry restaurant not far from the school gate.

The table was laden with a sumptuous feast. After the meal began, the atmosphere became even more relaxed. 😾 69 ...

Everyone was young, and as they drank and enjoyed themselves, people would occasionally go on stage to sing and dance, bringing the celebration to a climax.

Today was a joyous day, and Li Haoyu no longer restrained everyone. They all raised their glasses and mingled together. Many campus agents raised their glasses, expressing their admiration for him.

He didn't stand on ceremony and drank a beer with each of the agents.

After a round of toasts, he didn't get drunk.

But his stomach was already bulging from the beer.

Li Haoyu gently blew away the foam on the beer, and then he and Huang Qingsen, the unsung hero behind the scenes, downed a whole bottle of beer in one go.

Huang Qingsen said, "The market is basically saturated, and it will be difficult to maintain the previous sales boom. Not to mention that other students will see how well we sold this year, and there will probably be a lot of competition next year, so this business will be difficult to run."

Li Haoyu smiled and said, "As expected of Minister Huang, you have a very sharp eye."

Actually, the fact that things went so well this time is a bit beyond my expectations. It's all thanks to your tireless efforts in expanding the market. This was originally a small, short-term, high-profit business, so this result is already quite good.

Huang Qingsen said, "But nobody wants it to end like this. Everyone wants to continue working for you. Boss, do you have any thoughts on this?"

Li Haoyu laughed twice. "Of course I'm very happy that everyone trusts me so much. But if being an agent for Lazy Desk was a blitzkrieg, then starting a business is a war of attrition. The two are far more difficult."

Huang Qingsen said, "I know that starting a business is not that simple, but the biggest problem right now is that everyone is clueless about the future direction of development."

Li Haoyu said, "Besides choosing a direction, there are two other major challenges in the initial stages of starting a business: funding and manpower."

Entrepreneurs must use other people's money, not just their own.

To make more money when starting a business, you need to learn how to integrate resources.

You must use other people's money, and you must use other people's money well!

If you only use your own money, it's hard to avoid a selfish and closed-off mentality. If you're unwilling to bring in new investors and partners, and instead get caught up in self-satisfaction and immerse yourself in your own little circle, this kind of entrepreneurship won't grow big.

Only by learning to use other people's money can one achieve peace of mind.

To remain undisturbed, stay true to oneself, and persevere in doing it for a long time.

In comparison, the issue of manpower is more critical.

A dozen or so people are still too few. We need more hardworking, reliable, and dedicated people to build a sales force.

Don't be afraid of high turnover when hiring new people; even replacing the entire team isn't a big deal. If you let the right people leave but they don't, and the right people don't stay, the team will actually become worse.

Li Haoyu took a sip of his drink and continued, "If we want to continue, we have to follow the proper procedures. I'm planning to set up a company; I'll be responsible for strategic decisions, and you'll be responsible for management."

"You need to free yourself from the daily execution level. When it comes to the specific implementation, you need to learn to find others to help you share the burden."

I think Shen Manyu and Yu Ling are both good people. You could give them some more responsibilities and share some of your current workload.

Li Haoyu said, "I do have some ideas about the direction of starting a business. I think we can start from two aspects."

"The first path: We can start by picking up packages on campus and establishing fixed collection points. As we grow, we can expand into errand services such as bringing food or carrying books."

"Ultimately, we built our own delivery platform on campus, established our own delivery service, recruited students to form a delivery team, helped partner merchants solve delivery problems, and then charged the merchants for delivery services."

"Our second approach: We can leverage the advantages of our campus agency model by creating snack boxes on campus. Simply place the snacks inside the box, and put the box within easy reach. Scan the QR code on the top of the box, place your order, and you'll receive your delicious snacks."

Neither of these two entrepreneurial paths is superior or inferior.

Snack boxes have low operating costs, quick returns, and high market demand.

Campus platforms, on the other hand, require a long cultivation period and yield slow returns, but once successful, they create a strong competitive advantage.

Huang Qingsen said, "Boss, you are really amazing. I am confident that I can do a good job with the snack boxes, but I don't understand the technology for the campus platform. I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to handle it. Let's find a technician to be in charge."

Li Haoyu said, "You don't need to worry about that. If the business grows, we'll naturally hire some professional software talent. No one starts out with experience, and I think you can do it."

"Since you've conquered the entire university town market in such a short time, this kind of thing must be no problem for you. Experience can be accumulated gradually, and you'll definitely do a great job."

They discussed some details of starting a business, and Huang Qingsen became more and more excited as he listened.

Li Haoyu concluded by saying, "You need to keep the snack box plan a secret. At the same time, you need to negotiate with the suppliers first, finalize the contract details, and then proceed. You must capture the market."

"We can put the campus platform issue aside for now. I'll contact an outsourcing company to develop the software first. This will require gradual optimization and accumulation."

Huang Qingsen nodded repeatedly in complete agreement.

Shen Manyu and Yu Ling, who were eavesdropping nearby, couldn't help but chime in.

Both girls felt that Li Haoyu's proposed business plan was well-organized and, importantly, its execution was very clear.

It seems like two more lucrative paths to wealth!

More importantly, Li Haoyu had indeed helped them make money before, and they were all willing to follow successful people.

This also reflects a social reality: successful people tend to remain successful. Until they fail, everyone is more willing to believe in them.

Li Haoyu said, "I will be responsible for the initial start-up capital and hold 70% of the shares. I will not give you any dividends afterward. Huang Qingsen will get 20%, and Shen Manyu and Yu Ling will each get the remaining 10%."

"Initially, I want absolute control, but later I will dilute the equity to create an equity incentive pool."

For Shen Manyu and Yu Ling, making money was already enough; the equity was just an unexpected bonus.

The two readily agreed without much hesitation.

Huang Qingsen thought for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "Boss, I trust you. Your arrangements will definitely not go wrong."

Li Haoyu stood up, opened another bottle of beer, and said to them, "So today our startup team is officially established. Let's have another drink to celebrate."

All four of them drank it all in one gulp, and after three rounds of drinks...

Li Haoyu began to dismiss the drunken crowd.

Once everyone had left, he was finally able to stop pretending to be the boss.

Li Haoyu's stomach was already churning violently, so he found a secluded spot against a wall.

"Splash!"

He vomited it all out, and his stomach finally felt relieved.

He couldn't help but sigh, "Being a boss is really not easy!"

"I felt like throwing up after drinking too much, so I had to wait until everyone left!"
