Rebirth of a Top Student's Handbook

He had never seen a company like this before, where all the employees truly treated the company as their own home and worked spontaneously and in an orderly manner.

There was no hierarchy; everyone was busy with their own tasks, focused and attentive.

The company also has a restaurant and rest areas.

Fan Sixian stared into deep thought as he looked at the rows of bunk beds in the huge rest room.

These beds look like they're used frequently.

So these students were working too late and just stayed at the company to rest?

So that's why these students are able to study and build a company like this at the same time?

At this moment, his feelings also began to become complicated.

He, who was usually ruthless and cunning, and who was good at undermining others, suddenly felt a little reluctant at this moment. He couldn't bear to destroy the students' first spiritual home, but this thought only lasted for a moment.

What truly made him give up was the company's peculiar nature.

After a day of visiting, he discovered that the company's employees either treated their work as a form of learning and research or as a hobby; no one seriously regarded it as a work task.

There's no hierarchy here, and most of the time, Zhou Min, the boss, is practically invisible.

The working hours here are completely flexible; people come and go as they please without any interference. Some people even go to the break room next door to find a bed and go to sleep when they get tired during work hours.

........

Rather than calling this a company, it's more accurate to describe it as a free office space provided to freelancers.

Everyone here is not a laborer; they are all working for themselves, and each and every one of them has a very strong sense of self-reliance.

Moreover, the salary and benefits here are very generous. After learning about the treatment of the teachers who record courses, Fan Sixian wished he could open an account on the official website of Future Online Education to record courses. Unfortunately, his academic qualifications were not high enough, so he could only sigh in vain.

In comparison, those companies outside really don't have much to attract these students.

The simplest reason why companies offer completely flexible working hours is that they immediately eliminate the vast majority of them.

Fan Sixian also expressed his sincere admiration for companies like Future Online Education.

That's why he felt so conflicted when he received Zhou Min's call.

After Fan Sixian explained his company's main business direction and fee standards, he began to ask Zhou Min what kind of people she wanted to recruit.

Domestic headhunting companies have only been around for a few years. In order to expand its business, Sixian Headhunting Company's recruitment scope covers all industries.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Min felt relieved.

Relieved, Zhou Min glanced at the draft in front of her, thought for a moment, and then said, "I'm planning to open an intellectual property company soon and would like to ask you to help me recruit a group of senior patent engineers. There is no upper limit to the number, but their professional skills must be excellent."

Fan Sixian was taken aback upon hearing this.

So you've started another company already?

But thinking about it, it makes sense.

The operating model of online education companies is very innovative, and many companies want to imitate them.

Zhou Min's decision to register all of the company's technologies as patents was a wise one.

This patent company likely primarily serves her online education company.

As for the "no upper limit on the number of people," Fan Sixian didn't take it to heart at all.

Many companies, when hiring headhunting firms, may be afraid that the firms won't take it seriously, so they deliberately inflate their hiring requirements in order to get more candidates to be recommended.

He'd heard that kind of talk too many times, so he didn't take it to heart at all.

However, he didn't expose Zhou Min's lie, but instead replied directly, "No problem, I'll have everyone sort out their personnel in a bit. Are there any other positions needed? Do you need legal counsel?"

Once you've applied for a patent, you're bound to encounter patent disputes later on, so you'll definitely need to hire a legal counsel to be on the safe side, right?

"Sure! Help me hire two legal counsels too!"

Unlike online education companies, this patent company employs full-time staff with work experience.

In particular, the nature of their work makes them quite legally conscious.

The employee contracts we prepare for them certainly can't be as hastily done as those for online education. We should hire two legal counsel to thoroughly review the contracts here!

Furthermore, there will be many contracts to sign regarding patent entrustment, authorization, and transactions. Two legal counsels may not be enough, and we will definitely need to hire more in the future.

As for patent lawyers, Zhou Min did not intend to have headhunters help her.

The law department at Capital University is among the best in the country, and my roommate, Wang Mingyue, is also a law student. She is currently interning at one of the most prestigious law firms in the field.

Zhou Min felt that asking her for help to find a reliable patent lawyer would definitely be much cheaper than hiring a headhunter.

For other functional positions that weren't so important in the early stages, Zhou Min decided to recruit them gradually herself through job posting websites.

After all, I don't have much money on hand right now, and the expenses I need later are huge.

After the two discussed the specific requirements of the positions, they hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Min went to the school's forum and posted the job advertisements again.

The Capital University campus forum is an internal campus website that can be accessed by alumni who register using their previous student ID numbers, in addition to students with Capital University student ID numbers and faculty members.

As one of the top universities in China, the graduates of Capital University are all very proud of it.

Many of them have graduated for many years, but they still frequently post on the forum.

Zhou Min's post this time was aimed at these people.

If even a few of these people are willing to visit Zhou Min's company or help promote it, Zhou Min will have made a profit.

After posting the message, Zhou Min glanced at the time and realized it was almost nine o'clock. Thinking that she still needed to go back to the dormitory to find Wang Mingyue, Zhou Min quickly packed her things and rushed back to the school dormitory.
