1994: From a young man from a small town to a second-generation resident of Shanghai

With the start of the new school term approaching, Chen Fang also had things to do at school and couldn't go out to play with him during the day.

Therefore, Chen Yong was given a small amount of pocket money so that he could go out and have fun on his own.

Chen Yong received two thousand yuan in pocket money from his aunt, enough for him to spend in a day without any problem.

Two thousand yuan a day in pocket money is something most people wouldn't even dare to dream of!

…………

Chen Fang made a phone call to a man while she was in her office.

"Brother, I'm back from playing outside."

"But I've almost spent all my money, could you give me some more?"

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a deep, husky voice, "How was the fun?"

"Of course it's very nice!"

"Whatever makes you happy. 100,000 has been transferred to your account; if it's not enough, we can discuss it further. Just make sure the money is used wisely!"

They emphasized the last sentence.

"Don't worry, you won't lose out! By the way, my house is too small, have you prepared a bigger house for me yet?"

Chen Fang asks men for everything, and does so naturally and without any qualms, so it's definitely not the first time she's done this.

The person on the other end of the phone seemed to have been prepared. "There's an apartment on the third floor of Zhoujiapai Road, 80 square meters. That should be enough for you, right?"

"Thank you, brother. I love you."

The other person didn't reciprocate her advances. "Do you have any photos from your trip?"

"Oh right, I forgot to take a picture. I'll give it to you next time."

…………

Chen Yong hailed a Santana and arrived in Lujiazui, Pudong. The fare of a dozen yuan was spent like it was nothing.

For Chen Yong, the cost of living in Shanghai is quite stable. Apart from housing, things like taxis haven't changed in over thirty years.

Pudong has attracted many multinational companies and has great development potential; the streets are filled with young faces.

The clothes are colorful and the hairstyles are fashionable.

At that time, many cities in inland China were still using the Liberation brand. The difference between them was significant.

Young women wearing nice clothes and carrying a bag on their shoulder or in their hand has become a standard accessory.

After wandering around for a while, Chen Yong arrived at a newly built office building. Many multinational companies rent one or several floors in the building for their offices.

Chen Yong doesn't have that kind of capability yet, and what he wants to do doesn't require such a large office space.

In the 90s, everything was still growing wildly, and all industries lacked effective regulation, and no one knew how to regulate them.

Therefore, those who are daring can eat their fill.

Chen Yong contacted the office building management and directly asked the property manager, "Are there any office spaces available for rent?"

The property manager saw that he was a young man who looked quite wealthy. These days, there are so many young people starting their own businesses. He had met several, and a significant number of them had succeeded. Out of ten, two or three would be successful.

"Yes, we definitely have some. It just depends on how big you need, sir. Floor-to-ceiling apartments are definitely sold out, but we do have small office spaces available for rent."

"Let's go for the smaller one. What's the price for an office?"

When the property manager saw that Chen Yong wanted to rent an office right away, he knew that Chen Yong must be a big client!

He immediately became much more attentive, leading Chen Yong to a spacious office with a reception room. "Mr. Chen, what do you think of this office?"

"This office space costs 5000, and it also comes with a sofa, desks and chairs, a coffee machine, and a meeting room."

"If we're not satisfied with this one, we can continue looking upstairs, but the prices will definitely fluctuate significantly."

This was a reminder to Chen Yong that the prices upstairs would be much higher, possibly even doubling.

Chen Yong didn't rush to reply. He looked around the office and saw a mahogany desk, a leather chair, a sofa against the wall, and a small reception room further inside. Overall, it was quite stylish.

For startups, this will definitely make visiting guests feel professional!

"Is there a meeting room upstairs that can be rented out?"

"Yes, we also offer customization services. Please contact us in advance if you have any needs."

Chen Yong considered it and found that with all the necessary equipment, there would be no shortage of manpower once the business started.

The property management company can provide him with personnel as needed at any time.

Starting a business is actually very simple; all you need is one person, a good idea, and a bit of courage.

After looking at it, Chen Yong thought it was acceptable, "This is the one."

The property manager said obsequiously, "I wish you success in your business venture! May you make a fortune soon."

"Please pay a deposit of two thousand first, and I'll register your information."

Chen Yong paid the money directly, spending the pocket money he had just received from his aunt.

Chen Yong spent the money without batting an eye; his aunt is rich! To be precise, it should be said that his biological father is not short of money.

Now he's using his money to make money for himself!

In his previous life, Chen Yong had double degrees in management and finance, graduated from a prestigious university, and had heard many stories of his predecessors starting their own businesses.

Unfortunately, in the era in which he grew up, the great path emerged, and the breakthroughs made by his predecessors were no longer accessible to those who came after.

But now that he's back in this era, he can use the same tricks his predecessors used.

Although he is currently running his business alone, who says you can't start a business alone?

Turning around, Chen Yong arrived at the place where the certificate was issued.

Find the shop owner who makes certificates and seals, and ask them to "make certificates and seals".

"What certificates do I need? What seals do I need?"

The boss was very casual. These days, so many people come to him for document processing and seal making that he doesn't need to be so enthusiastic with everyone.

"Engrave the company seal."

The man's eyelids twitched. "Making official seals is illegal! I don't do it here, you'll have to find someone else."

Chen Yong smiled and said, "I was thinking of adding some money, but since you're not going to do it, I'll find someone else." He then turned to leave.

"Hey hey hey~ Why are you walking so fast! 500 each, no bargaining."

"Forget it, I'll just find someone else. If you want to rob someone, just rob them. Don't pretend to ask for a price."

Unexpectedly, this kid didn't get it. "Then how much do you want?"

"100, make me two official seals."

"What should I carve?"

Chen Yong took out a piece of paper he had prepared beforehand, on which were drawn two seals: "Dongfang Technology Co., Ltd." and "China Private Enterprise Development Promotion Center".

He could make 90 yuan from selling two for 100 yuan each, so he took the job.

After Chen Yong left, he waited to come back to pick up his things next time, and then went into another store.

This time, I made two employee cards and two employee tags at the store, which cost less than two yuan.

Chen Yong's entrepreneurial idea is very simple: these days, there are too many entrepreneurs. While others make money from consumers, he makes money from business owners.

Most of these bosses are roughnecks who haven't learned any systematic knowledge, but they are well-versed in market rules, which is why they have made money.

They lack understanding of corporate development, corporate management, and corporate strategic planning.

If someone could offer them guidance at this point, it wouldn't be difficult to make tens of thousands of yuan from a boss.

The company's shell is ready, but the basic structure is missing, and we're also short two employees to fill the gaps.

Chen Yong knew that the project he was preparing to start was somewhat irregular, so he did not intend to hire long-term employees.

Furthermore, the two employees cannot meet or communicate with each other.

This will put his skills to the test.

It's getting late today. It's 5 PM, and my aunt should be home from get off work waiting for him.

We can talk about hiring employees tomorrow.
