Chapter 459: New Future (Seeking subscriptions!)

~18 min read 3,503 words

The tutoring school is named "New Future."

It is just the literal meaning: have a brand new future.

Li Ran and Yang Yingwen chewed on it and felt that although the name was vulgar, it was easy to remember and the meaning was quite good, so they both agreed.

After confirming the name of the tutoring school, Li Heng, the big boss, besides having to invest funds, also had to decide the school's future development strategy.

He said to the two women: "Next, Li Ran's work is to set up the 'frame' of the school as soon as possible, find a venue that can accommodate thousands of people, hire personnel, install telephones, and enroll students."

"Old Mabu, you, mainly responsible for finding teachers in the early stage."

The division of labor was clear, and the two women nodded.

Yang Yingwen asked: "How many teachers to find?"

Li Heng thought for a while and said: "Now that the stall has just been laid out, we can't eat a big fat man in one breath. According to my plan, there are two classes every night from Monday to Friday, one teacher a day, which requires 5 teachers."

"On Saturday, we focus on attacking exam-oriented English; on Sunday, we concentrate on explaining the study abroad process, interviewer interviews, foreign cultures in different countries, exam-taking skills, and other knowledge."

"Mm, calculating it this way, 8 regular ones are enough. But considering that some teachers have temporary things and can't come, recruiting two more is better than nothing, and they can substitute for classes and top up at critical moments, so 9 to 10 teachers are more appropriate."

Li Ran fell into deep thought: "We don't understand the study abroad process, so we have to find someone with experience in this area."

Who doesn't understand?

Li Heng thought to himself that he understood better than anyone, but didn't say it: "In the past few years, many people have squeezed their heads to study abroad, and some teachers have failed their study abroad visa applications several times. We will pick this kind of person."

"Although they failed their visas for various reasons, they already know the process by heart and have a certain understanding of foreign countries, which is most suitable for our tutoring school."

Li Ran kept it in her heart.

Li Heng continued: "We are a tutoring school. Besides university students who need to pass CET-4 and CET-6, our main target group is those who have not passed the exam or interview for studying abroad, those who are preparing to study abroad to learn English, and those who currently only have the intention to study abroad."

"So the course knowledge cannot be the same as university lectures. Everything must be for the purpose of 'examination'."

"To put it clearly, besides teaching English knowledge, teachers must also find time to study past exam questions, key question types, and guess questions. Even when our scale expands to a certain extent in the future, we must have our own professional teaching and research group and compile our own specialized textbooks for the school. This is the core competitiveness."

"The tutoring school model can be copied, but the core competitiveness is not easy to copy. This is our winning magic weapon to face competition and the market in the future. From the beginning, we must set big goals, set big directions, and work together in this direction."

After listening to Li Heng's plan, Yang Yingwen felt that she had thought too simply and too naively before. She could feel Li Heng's vigorous ambition, but these were all good things, which instead aroused her spirit of not admitting defeat.

Since breaking up with her family, she had always wanted to prove herself and wanted to have some achievements like Li Heng and stand out.

Perhaps, this really is an opportunity!

Old Mabu thought so.

Regarding course arrangement, in this era, Li Heng, who has decades of rich experience, dares to say second, no one dares to say first. Just moving some mature course content from later generations over can cause dimensionality reduction strikes.

He doesn't worry about this aspect and thinks about starting to deal with this matter when he goes back.

Li Heng continued to say to Yang Yingwen: "We can't recruit teachers blindly. We must have 3 basic requirements."

Yang Yingwen used a notebook to record: "You say."

Li Heng said: "First, the spoken language must be fluent and the pronunciation must be standard. This is the most important."

"Second, the teacher's teaching style must be attractive, which is to say, personal characteristics. It must be able to stimulate students' interest in listening to classes, and cannot read books board by board."

"Third; male teachers are mainly mature and steady, 30 to 40 years old are the best, and female teachers try to pick good ones in appearance."

The first two elements, the three women felt it made sense.

But the third requirement, especially that female teachers should look good, Li Ran and Yang Yingwen cast disdainful glances together.

Xiao Han pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes strange, thinking that her honey really couldn't change his love for beauty.

Li Heng ignored the three and said seriously: "I'm not joking with you. Under the same conditions, a beautiful female teacher has an advantage over an ordinary-looking one, can better stimulate students' interest in listening to classes, and is also good for enrollment. We are not posing, it is okay to raise eyes appropriately."

Yang Yingwen complained: "You just be beautiful. We are just starting, it is hard to say whether we can find teachers, and you are still picking."

Li Heng said to Li Ran: "Besides teachers, you also need to find an accountant. The accountant can be temporary or part-time. Also need a person to run errands and do chores, and the salary is 150 yuan a month."

Li Ran said confidently: "With such a high salary, it shouldn't be difficult to find someone."

Li Heng nodded: "The salary is a bit high, but we are a tutoring school. There are many people, and this money is not easy to take, it is relatively tired."

"It is best to find that kind of strong, honest, middle-aged man who has a family to run errands. When there is a lot of money for enrollment, it can also play a security role."

He didn't dare to want young men, it was easy to see money and do bad things. Those with families are relatively more at ease.

Li Ran said okay.

Li Heng then ordered: "Yingwen, after all teachers are found, I will conduct a unified interview. Let them prepare 15 minutes of teaching content and try to lecture to me on the spot. Only those who are qualified will be hired."

Yang Yingwen frowned, "They are university teachers..."

Li Heng interrupted: "Not necessarily all university teachers. You can also go to high schools and technical secondary schools to find them. These people might be able to resign and join our team specifically in the future."

Then he added: "Of course, we are so picky about choosing people, the salary will naturally satisfy them."

Yang Yingwen asked: "How much salary to open? Have you thought about it? I have a bottom in my heart when I pull people."

Since Li Heng has come north and called Li Ran over, he must be prepared.

Or rather, there is no need to over-prepare. Old business, he can do it at his fingertips. He opened his mouth and said: "Our school opens three types of classes."

"The first type, named reinforcement class, 4 months a period, charging 400 yuan. This type is mainly for CET-4 and CET-6 candidates, reinforcing English knowledge and improving English spoken ability."

"Didn't the state issue formal documents the year before last? University students must pass CET-4 and CET-6 to get their degree certificates. Many students have failed here. This is our big customer group, it is our opportunity, we must grasp it."

"The second type, study abroad advanced class, also 4 months a period, charging 880 yuan, specifically for those who study abroad exams."

"The third type, called future class, also 4 months a period, charging 1288 yuan."

"For this type of students, we not only teach, but also have targeted exam training. At the same time, there are teachers to take them through the process, intimate guidance, and improve the success rate of studying abroad. Let them enjoy VIP treatment..."

Hearing the high fees of 880 and 1288 yuan, the three women were dumbfounded.

His words were not finished yet, Li Ran couldn't help but interject: "Li Heng, is this too high?"

Yang Yingwen echoed: "This is not high, it is ridiculously high!"

Li Heng waved his hand: "You don't understand this. If the tuition is too low, people might not believe it. After all, studying abroad is a high-end thing in their eyes. These people feel that once they go out, they become people above people."

"Didn't you see the newspapers often report that in order to study abroad, there are many people who sell blood and houses? There are also individual beasts who sell wives and daughters, all thinking about running outside, and they all have money in their pockets. Don't feel sorry for them."

After finalizing the fee price, Li Heng thought for a while and said to the two women: "Teacher teaching remuneration, tentatively 28 yuan per class."

"You can draw cakes for them. If the school scale expands in the future and enrollment is high, you will increase their salary with the times. There will be various welfare subsidies during the New Year and holidays, ranging from 200 to 1000 yuan."

"If they have the ability to enter the school's teaching and research group, they will have a monthly subsidy of 250 yuan. If the textbooks sell well, there will be dividend rewards. Fighting for a month at our school is equivalent to their salary for several years. Just say whether they will be moved?"

The three women were secretly tongue-tied. Working hard for a week is equivalent to a teacher's salary for a year at school. It is estimated that not many teachers can refuse.

Yang Yingwen raised a question: "What about foreign teachers? Is it also this salary? I'm afraid I can't invite them."

This is the truth. Whether willing or not, foreign teachers are generally difficult to find in this era, and the salary is higher than domestic peers. But these blond and blue-eyed foreigners can attract people who are preparing to study abroad.

Li Heng said: "You contact first. If you have the intention, you can talk face to face."

Then Li Heng talked about the enrollment promotion method and said to Li Ran: "We must carry out all aspects of sea, land, and air, and none of television, newspapers, and small advertisements can be left behind."

"At that time, you hire a few strong laborers, pay them 25 yuan a day, and it is estimated that they can fill all the universities in the capital with small advertisements in two days."

Li Ran agreed.

Next, Li Heng talked for more than 2 hours. Because he didn't have much time to stay in the capital, he taught his management experience in his previous life to the two women in detail, letting them digest it by themselves later.

Li Ran had been rolling in society for many years, had seen all kinds of people, her brain was very flexible, her comprehension was very strong, and as she listened, she recorded, and her eyes looking at Li Heng were getting brighter and brighter.

And Yang Yingwen, she was a top student herself. From childhood to adulthood, she was the first in every exam, and her learning ability was beyond doubt. And Yang's father didn't like her, which made her hold a breath, and her temper was stronger than anyone else.

Around 1:30 in the afternoon, Li Heng, who was dry-mouthed, finally finished speaking and asked them: "Any doubts? Just put them forward."

Li Ran and Yang Yingwen looked at each other and shook their heads together. The content he talked about today opened their eyes, and they couldn't digest it in a short time, so how could there be any problems?

Li Heng looked at his belly-black wife, stood up and said: "A little hungry, let's go, let's go eat."

The sun was big outside, and the four didn't go far, just had a full meal at a small restaurant across the road.

During the whole meal, Yang Yingwen kept her head down and didn't speak, thinking and pondering Li Heng's speech content.

Li Ran was cheerful, laughing and talking with Li Heng and Xiao Han, and never stopped.

Li Ran said: "Li Heng, according to your scale, I just made a preliminary calculation, it is estimated that the early investment will not be less than 60,000."

Don't look at it as just 60,000, it was a lot of money in this era.

You know, Li Ran worked in news for 7 years, and only earned less than 40,000 before and after, many of which were bribery red envelopes wrapped by some government units.

This 40,000 was deducted from expenses, and only less than 22,000 were left. At the beginning of the year, because of the Zhao family incident, she left most of her savings to Zhao family son to buy medicine to supplement his body, and she only took 5,000 yuan to wander the world.

And she had been used to being extravagant, and after half a year of squandering, she only had 1,100 yuan left in her pocket now.

Li Heng said: "I will allocate 100,000 to you as funds first, and if it is not used up, save it in the company account, and if it is less, come to me."

Li Ran agreed.

Li Heng said to the two women: "Except for dividends, you can mention how much basic salary you want."

Yang Yingwen said: "You are the big boss, you have the final say."

Li Ran said generously: "If you are not in the capital, I have to take on the tutoring school matters, and the responsibility is heavy. Besides, I love beauty and dressing up. In order to save money in the past six months, I almost suppressed myself to death. Let's do this, give me 500 a month for expenses."

"No problem."

Li Heng agreed happily, and then asked Yang Yingwen, "Old Mabu, give you 500 too, won't you think it's too little?"

Yang Yingwen refused: "Too much, I still have to teach classes normally, and my contribution is not as much as Li Ran's. How can I take the same salary as her? Give me 300, 300 is enough."

Li Heng persuaded her several times later, but Yang Yingwen's attitude was firm, and finally he was too lazy to waste his breath.

Li Heng gave the two a promise: "When the tutoring school is on the right track, I will give you corresponding shares at the end of the year."

This is what Li Ran and Yang Yingwen are looking forward to, and it is also the source of their full motivation.

After the general policy was discussed, after lunch, Yang Yingwen planned to teach foreigners Chinese, and by the way, see if she could pull foreigners into the group?

Watching Old Mabu go far away, Li Heng, Xiao Han, and Li Ran returned to the hostel.

Taking advantage of Li Ran entering the washroom, Xiao Han lowered her voice and asked: "Mr. Li, are you for real?"

"That's for sure, do I look like I'm playing house?" Li Heng asked back.

Xiao Han smiled sweetly, stared at him with curved eyebrows for a long time, and said crisply: "How do you know so much? The two of them are like elementary school students in front of you. If I didn't know, I would have thought you had run a tutoring school."

I am the one who ran it, Li Heng smiled and said: "This is called not fighting an unprepared battle. Yingwen mentioned this to me last year, and I thought about the complete plan for half a year, otherwise I wouldn't dare to call Li Ran over casually."

"Mm, my Mr. Li is really amazing." Xiao Han had small dimples and rarely praised him.

Li Heng blinked and leaned over to kiss her.

But she smiled and avoided it.

Li Heng released: "I'll clean you up when I go back tonight."

Xiao Han pursed her lips and smiled, looking down at her toes, her face red and didn't say anything.

As soon as she heard the word "clean up," she automatically thought of the door panel. Honey wouldn't press herself on the door panel again, right? That was at the Li family. If it were really like that, it would be shameful.

Not long after, Li Ran came out of the washroom, "The weather is too hot, washing my face is much more comfortable."

Xiao Han cleared her throat and said: "I'm going to wash my face too."

Seeing Xiao Han go in, Li Ran turned her head and asked Li Heng: "Guarding such a big beauty every day, it must be refreshing at night."

Li Heng: "..."

He rolled his eyes: "Serious for half a day, and then not serious again."

"Sigh, you don't understand. I haven't touched a man for half a year. I feel that there is a evil fire in my body that is rushing fiercely, accumulating more and more. If this continues, I guess one day I will be burned to death by the evil fire."

Li Ran looked at him, looked at him, looked at him, and suddenly came: "You have to deal with several women, your bed skills should be very bull, or you satisfy me once, that 500 yuan basic salary I don't want."

Li Heng was afraid and took a step back: "Forget it, I'd rather pay willingly."

Seeing that he was not moved by oil or salt, Li Ran teased him a few words and changed the subject: "Where is the missing heart?"

"At home."

"Still tireless to that Liu Chunhua?"

"Almost."

"Sigh, what do you think if I hook him to the bed?"

Li Heng was speechless, "His body is so thin, he can't stand your tossing a few times, you should let him go."

Li Ran sighed: "Also, it's hard to find a man with skills in this era. Your tutoring school must win the flag, so I can have money to find a man later."

Li Heng looked at the sky with both eyes and was convinced.

After a while, he asked: "What about that Zhao family son?"

Li Ran said: "What else can it be? Heard that the vitality hasn't recovered yet, still raising his body."

Li Heng asked: "What about the Zhao family? Still looking for you?"

Li Ran answered: "Friends wrote to tell me that the second room of the Zhao family has been thinking about this matter. This is also the reason why I dare not return to Xi'an until now."

Li Heng sighed: "Didn't expect that one day, you would also have a time to be afraid."

"Meeting that kind of family, who is not afraid? If I return to Xi'an, I guess I don't know how I died. His mother hates me to death." Li Ran said.

Li Heng didn't know how to comfort her. The Zhao family's third generation had only one male, and he was miserable by her. It was strange that people didn't hate her.

She suddenly asked: "Do you still remember Zhao Wanqing?"

Li Heng said: "Remember, what's wrong?"

"I saw her at Tsinghua University yesterday, scared me to run away, fortunately she didn't see me..."

Li Ran didn't say anything halfway, because Xiao Han came out. She changed the subject in time: "I'm going out to get busy too, first consult some relevant friends about the process of running a tutoring school."

Li Heng was surprised: "You still have connections in the capital?"

Li Ran told: "Yes, of course. But it's not mine, it's your Aunt Zhao Jing's. She is a well-known scholar in the country anyway. She has many classmates and friends here. I have been visiting them one by one these past few days. Just thinking that one day I can use it."

Li Heng was happy: "Then you can also ask about renting the venue. They are local snakes after all, maybe they have channels."

"I think so too." Li Ran didn't avoid it.

The three rested in the hostel for about half an hour, then Li Ran dressed up carefully and went out to do things.
