Rebirth of a Top Student's Handbook

"15 years?" Zhuang Xian murmured for a moment before realizing that Zhou Min was referring to the 15 years from kindergarten to high school.

"Wow, that's a big spender!" Shen Ye exclaimed to himself.

Shen Ye had not yet seen Huachuang Future's financial statements for this year, so he was unaware of Zhou Min's plan to build a school in the industrial park.

"There's no other way. The company's location is still a bit too remote. To solve the recruitment problem, we can only address the employees' concerns first."

Zhou Min shrugged, looking helpless.

Although the company is doing quite well now, it is not yet financially strong enough to afford to squander money at will.

If given a choice, Zhou Min wouldn't want to spend money on these lifestyle amenities too early.

However, staff shortages have become the main reason restricting the company's development.

To solve this problem, we need to improve both education and healthcare, especially education.

Fortunately, Huachuang Future is a company that started in education, so it has no shortage of talent and resources in the field of education.

So after the approval procedures were completed, Huachuang Future immediately began construction on the school.

Zhou Min glanced at the construction progress outside the site and couldn't help but do a mental calculation. At this rate, the school should be able to open on September 9.1st next year.

The expanded factory will be able to start recruiting before the summer vacation.

"What kind of school is this?" Zhuang Xian ignored Zhou Min's humble words and walked over to ask.

"It's considered a government-run school, I guess!"

"Really?"

"Students are charged according to the standards of public schools, but there is no funding or subsidy from above, and the school is responsible for its own profits and losses."

"Some teachers are dispatched by the Education Bureau and have official positions, but their salaries are temporarily paid by the school."

......

"There are also school districts, which are also uniformly designated by the Education Bureau."

"There are also school districts?"

"Yes. In addition to enrolling the children of employees in the industrial park, we also need to enroll students from the surrounding areas. However, these areas are not yet developed, so for now, we mainly enroll our own students."

.......

The four were chatting when they suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Zhou Min thought the waiter was about to serve the food, so she simply called out, "Come in." But it was Xu Li who came in.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Min immediately stood up and asked, "Why are you here?"

After Xu Li and Yu Cheng nodded in greeting, they led Zhou Min aside and whispered, "General Manager Chen from Zhonghe Electromechanical and General Manager Jiang from Dayang Precision Machinery are here this time. They want to meet you. Are you free later? Would you like to go and greet them?"

Xu Li hadn't intended to bother Zhou Min, but he happened to run into her in the lobby.

In this situation, it's probably unlikely that you can just laugh it off and get away with it.

Zhou Min knew about Zhonghe Electromechanical and Dayang Precision.

These two companies are not only industry leaders, but they are also important clients of Huachuang Intellectual Property Company.

They not only purchased a large number of patents from Huachuang Intellectual Property Company, but also commissioned research on many technical projects.

In this situation, and since we happened to run into each other, it would seem a bit unreasonable not to say hello.

"Okay, wait for me, I'll go with you!"

After Zhou Min finished speaking, she turned to Yu Cheng and the other two and said, "I have two important clients to meet with. You can start eating when the food is served. Don't wait for me. If you need anything, just call the waiter."

After saying that, Zhou Min hurriedly led Xu Li out the door, giving Yu Cheng and the other two no time to react.

"Ha, they're really busy!" Shen Ye couldn't help but complain as he looked at the door to the private room.

This was the first time he'd ever been left hanging while eating with other people!

Shen Ye, who had initially harbored some feelings for Zhou Min, has now completely lost interest.

He doesn't like strong, independent women.

"If I weren't busy, I wouldn't have been able to build such a big business!"

Yu Cheng took it all in stride. Having known Zhou Min for so long, he had long since adapted to her way of doing things.

"Clients? What kind of clients was she meeting?"

Compared to Yu Cheng and the other two, Zhuang Xian was more concerned about who Zhou Min wanted to see.

The person Zhou Min would leave the three of them behind to meet must be no ordinary person.

But isn't Huachuang Future's main business websites and platforms? What important clients could they possibly have?

"The clients from the intellectual property department, I suppose!"

Yu Cheng didn't speak immediately, but Shen Ye, who had been relatively close to Zhou Min and Xu Li, overheard a bit. Having also reviewed Huachuang Future's financial statements, Shen Ye basically guessed the gist of it.

"The clients from the intellectual property sector?" Zhuang Xian was a little surprised to hear this.

"Yes, their intellectual property business is doing quite well. How's yours?"

The competition between Zhuang Xian and Zhou Min started with the intellectual property company, with Zhuang Xian investing hundreds of millions of yuan in it.

In terms of company size and strength, Zhuang Xian's intellectual property company should be much larger than Zhou Min's.

Given Zhuang Xian's abilities, his intellectual property company should be doing quite well.

So, if you calculate it that way, the banker and player must have made quite a bit of money over the years, right?

As Shen Ye was thinking, he saw Zhuang Xian stop drinking tea and his expression turn sour.

"What? You lost money?" Shen Ye asked incredulously.

"...We didn't lose money, but the timeline was too long, which was exhausting."

Unlike Zhou Min's small-scale operations, Zhuang Xian's investments are all in large-scale national key laboratories and projects.

Although these projects are all high-tech, the research and development time is too long, and many technologies cannot be directly applied to civilian use.

Moreover, technological innovation is happening very quickly now, and many projects are replaced by new technologies while they are still in the research and development stage.

Despite having the most advanced patents and technologies, his profits were actually quite limited.

Unlike Zhou Min, who hired a bunch of second-rate researchers and churned out a bunch of shoddy technologies and patents, selling them specifically to small and medium-sized enterprises that knew nothing about intellectual property. Through patents and technological support, they not only made a fortune but also cultivated these companies' trust and dependence on Huachuang Intellectual Property Company.

Compared to Huachuang Intellectual Property Company, Zhuang Xian couldn't help but reflect on his earlier decisions.

Sigh, I was too arrogant and only wanted to be the best.

Little did they know that those who needed to buy technology the most were actually the people who lacked it.

Patent blockades are something you can only hope to achieve, not something you can force.
