Starting with the Broken-Winged Frost Butterfly: Beast Taming

Zhongdu University, fifth floor of the Business Building.

"...If there are no objections, Zhu, please sign here."

Director Li is an overweight elderly gentleman who habitually smiles and doesn't put on airs of authority.

After a full hour of consultation, Zhu Ran made her decision.

Start a business!

Zhongdu University's terms remain the same: 100 million RMB for 20% of the project's profit sharing (the entire series of Little Tiger breeding, raising, and evolution projects), without participating in the company's daily decision-making, only needing to regularly report operating data and participate in quarterly or year-end profit sharing.

However, the support provided was far more substantial than Zhu Ran had anticipated.

For example, he plans to establish a "little tiger breeding base". Once the location is finalized, his legal department will help him negotiate contracts and avoid many risks.

If it's an empty plot of land, building a house from scratch is easy. Some of the senior students who graduated from the Engineering College of Zhongdu University have started companies, and you can choose from large, medium, or small construction teams. There's bound to be one that suits you.

The purchasing department was even more enticing. When Zhu Ran learned that once the company was established, he could get a more favorable discount than the gold members of the experimental building, and at the same time, he could also get some materials that only mentors were qualified to purchase, his eyes lit up.

sign!

Being a boss and being an evolutionary scientist are not contradictory; they may even complement each other!

After inspecting the paper documents, Director Li ordered the "ghost maid" beside him to lock them in the cabinet, and said with a smile:

"Then, according to the first clause of the agreement, you need to prove once again that the little tiger was not accidentally bred, but is an evolutionary form that can be replicated."

"Only after that will the funds be officially transferred to your account."

Zhu Ran nodded.

The evolution formula will not be disclosed. This step of self-proof is crucial to proving that he has the foundation to run a company.

However, there is a slightly awkward problem: he currently has less than 10,000 yuan in savings. Even if he withdraws all the money from his Douying account, he still won't be able to cover the material costs for the correct recipe for Little Tiger.

"That's easy, I'll just use my personal name to pay on credit. Lingling, go and prepare the materials."

The ghost maid slowly dissipated from the spot.

A moment later, a cage of baby tigers and a suitcase full of materials were delivered to a floor of the laboratory building.

……

Three days later, Zhu Ran brought a male tiger cub, which he named "Da Xiong," to Director Li's office again.

Looking closely at those heart-shaped eyes, Director Li nodded and said with satisfaction, "They are indeed adorable. I must buy one for my granddaughter when she is born."

"Huh?"

Nobita held it in his left arm, and Shizuka held it in her right arm.

The two little tiger cubs looked at each other, one bewildered, the other surprised.

Only the large butterfly on its back seemed unhappy—why is there another unofficial member? A male and a female, will they become a couple? Constantly dominating the camera and showing off their love?

Regarding the company name...

Zhu Ran has proven his ability to be repeatedly nurtured, so the entrepreneurial support process will move to the next stage. He then carefully considered the matter and said:

"Let's call it 'Blazing Clouds City Super-Burning Life Co., Ltd.' The related logo will be designed with a book as a reference..."

One hour later.

Leave the business building.

Zhu Ran's heart was still pounding wildly.

I'm not going to be a wage earner anymore.

Be your own boss.

This statement has come true.

but.

Even with the support of legal, procurement, and construction departments, there are still too many obstacles to starting a company from scratch.

The first problem he faces is that he can't be both the boss and the employee all by himself, can he?

The largest partner is Zhongdu University, but the contract doesn't restrict him from inviting other partners...

"Hey Mr. Liang, where are you hanging out? I have a seven-figure job offer I'd like to discuss with you."

"beep--"

Grandpa Liang just hung up.

Talking nonsense in broad daylight.

Zhu Ran scratched the back of his ear.

Why is it that no one believes the truth these days?

Zhu Ran retaliated again.

This time, let's get straight to the point:

"Uncle Liang, didn't you say yourself that you wanted to open a breeding shed after graduation?"

"Yes," Liang Baizhou nodded, "but I don't have any money right now, and my advanced trainer license is a long way off. Isn't it a bit too far-fetched to be thinking about these things now?"

"It doesn't require your money, nor does it require you to take any risks."

Zhu Ran said:

"I just received investment from the Business Department of Chung-Du University and started a company."

"Forget about the small house or the big house. I'll give you 10% of the project profits. You can come and be the technical director of the breeding base and raise cute tiger cubs with me."

"Huh?" Liang Baizhou was stunned. In just one morning, Master Zhu had done another earth-shattering thing.

At that moment, Zhu Ran's phone vibrated, and he opened the message.

The 100 million yuan distributed by the college, and the 30 yuan in support funds for college student entrepreneurship in Chixia City, have actually arrived in my account.

Furthermore, the company has already been successfully registered, and his personal account is directly linked to "Chixia City Super Burning Life Co., Ltd."

Zhu Ran was stunned. Was the world really this efficient? While others were slacking off, you were turbocharged?

"Uncle Liang, please make time this afternoon to come with me to choose a location. The sooner we get things started, the sooner we can start making money!"

"Oh..." Liang Baizhou's head felt like it was filled with a lump of paste, and he responded in a daze.

……

In the afternoon, Zhu Ran skipped her elective class and met up with Liang Baizhou.

Liang Baizhou noticed immediately that Zhu Ran's chest was swollen, with two extra balls.

As soon as the zipper was unzipped, two tiger heads eagerly popped out, looking around with anticipation.

"This is Da Xiong," Zhu Ran introduced.

"Uncle Xiong?" Liang Baizhou secretly made a mental note of it.

"I just checked, and there are many places in Chixia City that can be used to build a juvenile breeding base, but it's too expensive within the Fourth Ring Road and too remote within the Sixth Ring Road. I plan to finalize a location within the Fifth Ring Road."

Zhu Ran turned on his phone screen, occasionally dragging the map to zoom in and out, and said:

"Here, here, here, these places are all good. Let's inspect them one by one and finalize the results as soon as possible."

Liang Baizhou hesitated for a moment, then suddenly asked, "You mentioned a 10% profit share, roughly how much is that worth?"

"At least equivalent to 500,000," Zhu Ran said casually.

"So many?"

Although Liang Baizhou had some suspicions, he was still startled, a hint of unease flashing across his face. He hesitated and said:

"Why don't you just pay me a salary? I'll just do odd jobs. Being a director... that's too unrealistic."

"no."

Zhu Ran shook his head: "Profit sharing is one thing, but salary will be settled separately."

"Uncle Liang, the evolution formula is in my hands, and Zhongdu University is behind it. It's almost impossible for our project to fail, so you can get on board with peace of mind."

"Besides, if you don't take on this role as the second-in-command, how can I peacefully be a hands-off boss? This money should be yours to earn, be confident!"

"The project has just been established, there's nothing there, and you're already thinking about making money while lying down?" Liang Baizhou hesitated before speaking.

"Just tell me if you're going to do it or not?" Zhu Ran said calmly.

"..."

Liang Baizhou remained silent for a moment, then sighed:

"They're giving too much, how can I refuse?"

"When you're out and about in the future, remember to call me General Manager Liang."
