Chapter 61: Chapter 61: The Company Starts Up_1
Wang Ye introduced them to each other and specifically ntioned that the “Qingyun Study Abroad Service Company” will be managed by Liu Jun as the general manager from hereon.
For any public appearances, Liu Jun will be the representative.
As for Wang Ye himself, he will stay behind the scenes, strategizing, and quietly making a fortune…
After the small talk, they all proceeded to the company’s fifth-floor office. Nearly 500 square ters of the large office area were already under renovation.
Based on the conversations between Wang Ye and Xiao Hu, the entire office area was divided into two parts, with two entrances.
Four hundred square ters belonged to Xiao Hu’s sports shoe brand company, while the remaining hundred square ters were allocated to Qingyun Study Abroad Service Company.
The interior was interconnected.
Unless you specifically noticed, upon entering through the Qingyun Study Abroad Service Company’s door, you might think that the entire 500-square-tre inside belonged to this company!
This was to enhance the company’s prestige—once the business gets underway, guests from dostic educational departnts would inevitably co for inspections…
When leading them around the office that stretches to four to five hundred square ters, for a study abroad agency, it would appear as a large company!
“Here, we separate three individual cubicles, two about ten square ters, one about twenty, divided with frosted glass, and the decoration style should be as simple as possible, it needs to look grand and high-class,” Wang Ye said while inspecting.
As for the renovation costs, it was included in Xiao Hu’s budget.
This simple renovation wouldn’t cost much; since his company was getting renovated anyway, they might as well both get it done together.
Moreover, the office space ca basically furnished; it just needed slight layout changes and a few additional office facilities, quite simple.
Looking at the current renovation process, it should be completed in about half a month.
The partitioned three rooms had two smaller ones: one for the general manager’s office and the other as the VIP reception room.
The remaining larger one naturally functioned as the eting room.
“Will we also have to co to work here later?” Nalan Yaqi asked curiously.
“During busy tis or while receiving guests, your presence will be required. On normal days, we will hire a few Russian employees to communicate with the schools and handle reception and settlent procedures,” Wang Ye replied with a smile.
In a study abroad interdiary company, there is no requirent for many employees, and specifically in Moscow, the work is comparatively simple.
After receiving the student applications, the next step is applying for invitations from the University’s Foreign Affairs Office, then sending the invitations back ho.
Once the students studying abroad arrive in Moscow, pick them up from the airport, deliver them to their schools, help settle into the dormitory and assist with enrolnt procedures…
It’s that easy!
Having two employees assigned to each school would be sufficient. Wang Ye did not plan to handle many schools; it’s not necessary.
He planned to focus on Moscow University and Friendship University.
Moscow University is expensive but has a high reputation, which can satisfy students from wealthy families, who cannot afford studying in Arica, the UK or Australia.
Friendship University, on the other hand, is much cheaper and reputed, particularly for its internationalization. It can cater to families who struggle financially yet desire a foreign diploma for their children…
Limiting the business to these two universities has another advantage. That is, becoming the “major client” of both universities!
Building a good relationship with the Foreign Affairs Office, and after the scale builds up later, we can even negotiate for “monopoly”…
…
After touring the company and in Xiao Hu’s nearly furnished eting room, they had their eting.
Wang Ye outlined his broad plan for everyone, to which they all voiced their approval, indicating no objections.
They couldn’t co up with any objections anyway, as Wang Ye’s plan was comprehensive, and he had already made all necessary arrangents.
In addition to this, except for Liu Jun, the others were still students who didn’t have much idea about how to do business…
Xiao Hu’s family business is not small, but he has limited exposure and is still in the process of gaining experience.
As for Nalan Yaqi and Wang Dan, they don’t need to be ntioned. They invested in the study abroad interdiary company because of Wang Ye, and without him, they probably wouldn’t even consider it…
Liu Jun furrowed his brow. Wang Ye had said a lot but did not address the key issue.
The key to a study abroad interdiary company is student recruitnt. If you can’t recruit students, what’s the point of great policies?
He asked: “Wang Ye, you told
last ti that you would be responsible for student recruitnt in China, right?”
This old fox, with one sentence, he placed the biggest “burden” on Wang Ye’s shoulders.
But this was reasonable, as Wang Ye hadn’t given a penny and had received the most shares in the company based on his resources and capabilities!
This naturally ant he had to accept the greatest responsibility, which is dostic student recruitnt.
Wang Ye smiled and simply replied: “I already have a plan for the student recruitnt. This year, as the company just began operating, the staff and experience are insufficient to support a large scale. So, I plan to focus on the two cities in our Zhongyuan Province initially. If we succeed with these two cities, it should provide a substantial source of students. It is better to focus on a few areas diligently than scramble to cover many places.”
“Two cities, one of them must be your hotown, Wang Ye; which is the other one? Do we have connections there?” Liu Jun imdiately asked.
He knew that the other city would definitely be Wang Dan’s hotown.
But this was sothing that neither he nor Wang Ye could ntion openly…
“My hotown is confird as I have resources there. The other city is Heluo City adjacent to it. The troubleso part is that I am unfamiliar with Heluo and don’t have any acquaintances in its education departnt, leading to so obstacle.” Wang Ye explained with a troubled expression.
“Hey, I rember Wang Dan is from Heluo City,” Nalan Yaqi comnted from the side.
“Really?” Wang Ye expressed surprise.
“Yes, I am indeed from Heluo City. If the company plans to tap into the Heluo market, I can be of assistance.” Wang Dan responded with pride.
With her comnt, the matter was settled!
Wang Ye and Liu Jun exchanged glances, their eyes revealing a hint of amusent.
The reason for having Wang Dan as a shareholder was this very purpose!
But this could not be said too blatantly, that would co across as too “utilitarian”…
Of course, Wang Ye knew that while Wang Dan might not catch on, her father would imdiately understand Wang Ye’s intention of making Wang Dan a shareholder.
But that’s another matter, Wang Ye wasn’t worried that Wang Dan’s dad would disagree.
After all, this was a good thing. Not only could it earn so “pocket money” for Wang Dan, but it could also bring political achievents to her father!
In those years, anything related to “foreign investnt,” “international cooperation,” “studying abroad,” etc., as long as it was associated with foreign countries, was sothing to brag about…
Therefore, Wang Ye was confident that Wang Dan’s father would not refuse.
“Great! Then it’s settled. This year we will primarily focus on Yangnan City and Heluo City in Zhongyuan Province. I will first contact a university in Yangnan to establish a cooperation agreent, and then together we will start recruiting students.”
Wang Ye made the final decision.
