Chapter 6: 005 Fellow Apprentices Rebelling

The sun came out in the morning, and there was a light rain in the afternoon. The air and mood seemed to be stuck together.

Yu Xing ran for most of the day with Zhong Zhiling and received one good news and one bad news.

The good news was that Zhong Zhiling's girlfriend found a customer who felt the "love contract" was interesting, perhaps harvesting another 500 yuan.

The bad news was that registering a company costs money.

Registering a company costs money...

Yu Xing was stunned when he was at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and only then reacted. Now it was still the paid-in system. Registering a company required real money—the "Company Law" amended in January 2006 stipulated that the minimum registered capital for a limited liability company was 30,000 yuan.

Pay 30,000 first!

However, there was a support policy for college student entrepreneurship. For independent entrepreneurship within two years of graduation, registered capital under 500,000 could be paid in installments. The first installment should not be less than 10% of the registered capital, and the registered capital should be added to more than 50% within 1 year, and the balance could be paid in installments within 3 years.

Calculated this way, as long as 10% of 30,000, which was 3,000 yuan, was paid, it would be fine.

Yu Xing felt the warmth of the policy and immediately raised money with his Junior Brother. After raising 2,000 yuan, he continued to raise money with his Junior Brother's girlfriend, and finally raised exactly 3,000 yuan.

Just when Yu Xing and Zhong Zhiling were happily preparing to pay and name, the staff pointed to the 3,000 yuan, politely declined the birth of "Gui'ai Net," and interpreted the policy in detail.

"The 10% support for registered capital is indeed there, but this 10% of funds cannot be less than 30,000, which means that as long as your registered capital is 300,000, you can enjoy this policy," the voice in the window was unhurried.

The policy allowed installments, but the first installment could not be less than 10%, and the actual contribution could not be less than 30,000 yuan.

Zhong Zhiling, who was squeezed to the side, became anxious instantly: "Hey, why didn't you say so just now! If we could have 30,000, why would we need this 10%?"

The voice in the window was very innocent: "You didn't ask either."

"You just said it, and we wouldn't have lined up! We lined up for so long, and now you say it needs 300,000!" Zhong Zhiling was extremely dissatisfied.

"You didn't ask, how could I say?" The voice in the window came out, "Who knew you didn't even have 30,000 to open a company?"

Zhong Zhiling's face flushed, and he was about to argue with this aunt in the window.

"Alright, alright," Yu Xing pulled his Junior Brother's arm, saw the security guard pacing over with tiger eyes, and said simply, "Let's talk when we go back."

Zhong Zhiling was pulled away unwillingly and left the Industrial and Commercial Bureau dejectedly.

Yu Xing didn't take the small episode to heart, pondered for a while, and found that his Junior Brother was still indignant, so he had to persuade: "Think about the industry you studied, how good can the service attitude be?"

Zhong Zhiling: "..."

Senior Brother, you...

Sure enough, there is no class that betrays interests, only individuals who betray the class...

It's just that not all support policies were visible and untouchable for them. Besides the annoying capital threshold, corporate income tax could be exempted for two years.

Yu Xing pondered that the "Gui'ai Net," which was considered a sign, should also be considered an information industry that met the conditions. At least it could be related to the internet.

In addition, college student independent entrepreneurship could also get loan support!

This loan amount was about 20,000 yuan, the loan term was up to 2 years, and finally, an extension could be applied for once.

How to say it...

Overall, this trip made Zhong Zhiling look dejected and dispirited.

Yu Xing saw the look of this Junior Brother and knew he was thinking about his blue pill tricks again, so he shattered this idea with one sentence: "Doing blue pills also requires capital."

Zhong Zhiling suddenly woke up. Yeah! Why did he get into a dead end!

"Brother Xing, I don't want to do that anymore," he said while denying, and asked his Senior Brother gloomily, "What to do now? We don't even have enough money to register."

"If not enough, earn it," Yu Xing answered directly, "If you can't even earn the money to register, there's no need to do it later. Find Old Liu tomorrow to discuss retaining student status, and find a few clubs in the school the day after tomorrow to see if we can pull a few more customers."

Zhong Zhiling heard this, and it was really the truth. If the starting money couldn't come out, there was really no need for the rest.

It's just that he felt his whole heart shrink when he heard he had to find the teacher.

Zhong Zhiling said hesitantly: "Liu Laoshi, Liu Laoshi's side... not urgent, right."

"Anyway, I'll talk to him about my affairs first. You can move back. Besides, I want to borrow money from Old Liu," Yu Xing pondered, "We need to use our student status to expand in the student group. Later, whether dealing with clubs or the student union, we can use sponsorship to let them help us pull new ones."

Zhong Zhiling asked: "Is the money borrowed from Liu Laoshi used for sponsorship?"

Yu Xing rolled his eyes at the unlucky guy: "Of course not. One customer is 500 yuan. As long as they pull one, give them 100 yuan sponsorship."

Zhong Zhiling was stunned. Ah, wool comes from the sheep...

He thought for a while and suddenly said: "Brother Xing, what if some clubs bypass us? What if they sign contracts with couples directly?"

Yu Xing looked at his Junior Brother approvingly, finally a little on the road.

He nodded: "There is indeed such a possibility. However, their attributes are in the club field after all, and they can't do this specifically. Students will also be very worried about the risks inside, and we already have the first-mover advantage, the scale is different, we already have 1,000 orders, already very familiar and confident, they still have to ponder and hesitate."

Zhong Zhiling pondered: "Wait until we find 1,000 customers to contact? That will take a long time."

"We already have it now," Yu Xing looked at his Junior Brother and smiled, "When you go out, your identity is given by yourself, and your performance is also given by yourself."

Zhong Zhiling: "..."

"We not only have performance, but also have detailed market research, are already in contact with investors, and the future goal is the national market," Yu Xing said seriously, "This is our 'Gui'ai Net'."

Zhong Zhiling said cautiously: "Gui'ai Net hasn't been established yet."

"Yeah, Gui'ai Net has achieved such results before it was officially established. Once it is officially established, what will it be like?" Yu Xing changed the angle.

Zhong Zhiling felt he was almost cheated. His Senior Brother's tone was so firm.

"In short, we must try to quickly pull up the project in all universities in Jin Ling this month. If we can't do it this month, let's find another way immediately," Yu Xing paced and said seriously, "Zhiling, I'm not joking with you. Counting from today, if I don't see hope a month from today, let's break up."

Zhong Zhiling heard his Senior Brother say this, and had a kind of tension and worry about the college entrance examination battle years ago.

Decisive battle in thirty days!

What will it be like after thirty days...

He didn't dare to think, only knew to follow Brother Xing now.

Zhong Zhiling suffered from insomnia again this night. When he saw his Senior Brother again in the morning, he held his phone blankly and said strangely: "Brother Xing, I might... I might..."

"What's wrong? It's okay if you don't go today. Anyway, I'll talk to Old Liu first." Yu Xing thought this Junior Brother had doubts about retaining student status, but this was normal, everyone had their own ideas.

"No, my girlfriend sent me a text message, why don't I have any intention to reply now," Zhong Zhiling sighed after a few seconds of daze, "Brother Xing, I might not secrete dopamine anymore!"

Yu Xing was speechless. Anyway, this pair definitely had no results before. I don't know what it will be like this time.

He had some thoughts, but it wasn't the time to implement them. He just bought fruit and drinks and took his Junior Brother to find the teacher, Liu Jingrong.

Yu Xing hadn't graduated from the teacher's hand before, but that wasn't his fault, but his own. Why didn't he listen to advice at that time?

This time... originally still hesitant, but his mother's words made him have nothing to hesitate about.

It's just that when the fellow apprentices knocked on the door, the one who opened the door wasn't the teacher they agreed to meet yesterday, but his daughter, Liu Zhi Shan, who was in the first grade.

"Aunt, Aunt, it's Brother, it's Brother Yu Xing!" Liu Zhi Shan opened the door and shouted crisply, "Aunt, Mom and Dad aren't back yet!"

"Shanshan, your dad isn't home?" Yu Xing was very familiar with the teacher's daughter. Since he was a first-year graduate student, he often picked her up.

Yu Xing was the first disciple of the teacher at Nanjing Medical University. In other words, Liu Jingrong wasn't old. He was an undergraduate at Nanjing University of Science and Technology, later went to the US for a master's and doctorate, and then returned to his alma mater to teach. He was promoted to associate professor last year and began recruiting graduate students.

As the first disciple, Yu Xing was very sorry that he couldn't graduate from Old Liu's hand.

But now he had to be more sorry... this time he might even have to abduct a Junior Brother.

"Dad went to pick up Mom, and also buy vegetables!" Liu Zhi Shan ran to the living room, not looking back, "Aunt is here, Aunt is here!"

Cartoons were playing in the living room. Yu Xing, who had just put down the drink in his hand, took a look and saw the aunt of Shanshan who got up from the sofa. He found this "Master Aunt" who hadn't been heard of before was unexpectedly young and beautiful, and what was impressive in this hurried glance was her beautiful and sexy lips, followed by her graceful figure.

Yu Xing hadn't heard that the teacher had a younger sister before. He thought this was a distant relative, but dispelled this idea when he heard her speak.

"You are the first disciple under my brother, right? I've heard him mention you several times on the phone, saying you are quite hardworking." Liu Wan Ying looked at the two people walking into the living room—a natural and handsome male college student, and the other... also a male college student.

She judged which one was the first disciple her brother mentioned, and introduced herself with a smile: "I am Liu Wan Ying, usually working in Xiangjiang."

Although Yu Xing was going to "rebel" out of the master's door, it was no problem to call a "Master Aunt." However, her being too young made people hesitate.

He noticed her eyes looking at the Junior Brother beside him, and seeing the unlucky guy didn't mean to speak, he introduced first: "Yes, I am Yu Xing, this is Junior Brother Zhong Zhiling who was recommended for admission this year."

Yu Xing felt it was inconvenient to discuss Liu Wan Ying from the teacher's side, so he turned his thoughts and smiled from the child's perspective: "I haven't heard Shanshan mention that she has such an intellectual aunt before."

Liu Wan Ying smiled brightly, slightly surprised by Yu Xing's mature tone, and reached out to touch her niece's head lovingly. Shanshan was not even 8 years old this year, so naturally, she wouldn't talk about such topics.

Zhong Zhiling was introduced by his Senior Brother, still somewhat restrained, and greeted hesitantly: "Hello, Liu Laoshi."

At this time, Liu Zhi Shan, who was watching TV, looked up at the strange big brother and asked Aunt curiously: "Aunt, Aunt, why does he call you Teacher? Are you a teacher?"

Liu Wan Ying signaled the two male college students to sit down and smiled at her niece: "Aunt is naturally not a teacher, hmm, this new Senior Brother of yours should call me..."

She blinked, also a little troubled. It was too strange to let two big guys call her "Auntie," but if they called her "Sister," it would instantly be the same generation as her niece. So, let's discuss it from the master-disciple side of her brother.

Liu Wan Ying asked for opinions with a smile: "By rights, you should call me 'Master Aunt' or 'Master Uncle,' right? Yu Xing, how do you usually call Rong Jie?"

"I usually..." Zhong Zhiling told the truth, "call her Master's Wife."

As Liu Wan Ying said, he was indeed "very hardworking before," and got along very harmoniously with the teacher's family. The teacher asked to call Master's Wife, so he naturally did as the teacher said.

It's just that now, the teacher is less than 40, and his mentality is completely different.

Liu Wan Ying nodded and smiled: "Pour tea yourself, and pour a cup for Master Aunt by the way."

Yu Xing nodded as well, and then instructed the stuttering Zhong Zhiling: "Pour tea, pour a cup for Master Aunt and Senior Brother."

Just when Zhong Zhiling recognized his status and prepared to do it, a childish and crisp voice came again—"Pour a cup for Junior Sister too!"

Liu Zhi Shan took advantage of the gap between the end of this episode of cartoons and joined the conversation.

The living room was full of laughter, and even Zhong Zhiling was not so restrained anymore.

It's just that Zhong Zhiling thought of the purpose of this trip while laughing, and felt bitter in his heart again, falling into entanglement. Should he follow the Senior Brother to mention retaining student status... or next time...

His emotions plummeted, and his eyes became three points dull.

Liu Wan Ying noticed that this introverted male college student seemed to be staring at her in a daze, and smiled slightly: "Zhong Zhiling, this name is interesting. Are you thinking about what lipstick to buy for your girlfriend? Do you want me to recommend it?"

Zhong Zhiling reacted, lowered his head hurriedly, and drank tea shyly.

Yu Xing estimated that the unlucky guy was nervous in his heart, and smiled to relieve the siege: "We really discussed lipstick on the way, but not for our girlfriend, but thinking about preparing small gifts for customers."

Liu Wan Ying wondered: "Preparing small gifts for customers?"

"Yes, our customers will have some girls, so..." Yu Xing still called out, "I don't understand this either, Master Aunt can recommend which ones are better for us."

Liu Wan Ying looked at the male college student and said with a smile: "I heard my brother mention you usually stay in the lab, why do I feel it's not like that? There are many ways to use lipstick, like the dry maple leaf red 333 I'm wearing now. It doesn't pick skin tone, is lively and relatively high-end, because it's matte velvet, and it will have a foggy feeling after drying."

She gave another example: "Like the very classic one I also like to use, Dior 999, it is a pure and enthusiastic red, but also very versatile. Even if it's bare-faced, as long as you apply it, you can immediately improve your complexion, as if it can ignite the passion of the whole world."

Liu Wan Ying talked eloquently, and saw the blank look of the two male college students, couldn't help but laugh: "These are probably beyond your scope, anyway, different lipsticks have different characteristics, and also have different usage standards."

Yu Xing was indeed as unfamiliar with this field as ever, but he said immediately when he heard this: "No, all lipsticks have only one standard."

Liu Wan Ying was interested: "Oh?"

"Lipstick that makes women look good is good lipstick," Yu Xing was both flattering and telling the truth, "Your dry maple leaf red 333 is good lipstick that meets the standard."

Liu Wan Ying smiled beautifully, not disgusted by the roundabout compliment, but this was indeed different from the disciple of her brother she imagined.

No, the dull one beside him was very consistent.

Zhong Zhiling heard his Senior Brother's words, couldn't help but remember, feeling he could try to praise his girlfriend at night.

"Master Aunt really has research on lipstick. Our project knows nothing about this aspect. I hope to ask Master Aunt for advice in the future," Yu Xing was also telling the truth this time.

Liu Wan Ying didn't think there was anything wrong with the title "Master Aunt," but after chatting with Yu Xing for a while, she felt it was not quite right to hear him call her that again.

She took the initiative to say: "Don't call me Master Aunt anymore. My brother is much older than me. Let's discuss it separately. Call me Sister Ying."

Yu Xing followed the trend immediately: "Good, Sister Ying."

Zhong Zhiling hesitated whether to open his mouth to change a title, and before he could speak, he heard Master Aunt continue to ask.

"My brother said you were dull in the lab, why do you have any project, and it's related to lipstick? Are you doing summer jobs?" Liu Wan Ying had more interest in chatting.

Yu Xing pondered for a while and said tactfully: "Zhong Zhiling and I are trying more possibilities. It's the graduation season, so we made a 'love contract' project. A couple pays 500 yuan to sign a contract with us. As long as they get married in three years, we will send them 999 roses."

Liu Wan Ying looked at the two male college students in surprise, and then asked somewhat dumbfoundedly: "Serious?"

Yu Xing didn't answer this question and continued: "According to our investigation, the probability of college student couples going to marriage after graduation is 1.5%. This status quo is the basis for our project to continue to grow."

Liu Wan Ying asked casually: "Is your investigation scientific? Is it so low? Only 1.5%?"

Zhong Zhiling heard the questioning, held his breath, and didn't dare to answer. Is the investigation scientific? What science? What investigation?

Facing the questioning, Yu Xing said calmly: "Otherwise, why say graduation season is breakup season?"

He smiled somewhat embarrassedly: "Sister Ying, this probability is actually not that low. I exaggerated it. In fact, in our sample data, it is 6%."

Liu Wan Ying nodded thoughtfully. 4 times, 6% is 4 times 1.5%. Although the exaggerated proportion is high, its absolute value is still not high, which is about 6 pairs out of 100 college student couples can go to the wedding hall.

Calculated this way, recruiting 100 customers, revenue 50,000, finally only need to fulfill 6 customers' 999 rose contracts. If cooperating with rose suppliers, the cost of 6 contracts can be suppressed to 15,000-20,000, or even lower.

Zhong Zhiling looked at the Master Aunt who believed it, and only felt his scalp numb. His Senior Brother had no truth in his mouth.

He glanced at his Senior Brother with a serious face again, and suddenly couldn't tell, was there really such an investigation?

However, Yu Xing overturned what he just said after drinking a sip of water and smiled: "Sister Ying, the data just now was made up by me. We don't have the ability to do market research now, we can only judge the feasibility of this project by intuition."

Liu Wan Ying raised her eyebrows and laughed dumbfoundedly: "Made up?"

"Yes, because we are just on the road, and now we don't have the energy and resources," Yu Xing leaned forward slightly and said sincerely, "So, in order to better establish consensus, I made up the data."

Liu Wan Ying thought slightly, looked at Zhong Zhiling who was blank, and red lips slightly curled: "Made up data and established consensus?"

"When I said a very low data of college student couples from graduation to marriage, Sister Ying just doubted it slightly and accepted it," Yu Xing smiled and said very firmly, "At this time, how much the data is is no longer important. Everyone quickly believes the data out of the cognition of reality. This behavior itself is already the basis for this business to be feasible."

The two male college students in the living room performed differently, one mature and confident, one blank and even panicked...

Liu Wan Ying, who was originally lazy, stared at Yu Xing. Although she was on vacation, she suddenly felt like she was at work. She sat up a little straighter on the sofa. This male college student was indeed different.

"When I mentioned the very low data for college student couples from graduation to marriage, Sister Ying just accepted it with slight skepticism," Yu Xing smiled and said with great certainty, "At this point, the exact data is no longer important; the fact that everyone quickly believes the data based on their perception of reality is, in itself, the foundation for this business to be viable."

The two male college students in the living room displayed vastly different expressions: one was mature and confident, while the other was bewildered and even panicked...

The originally languid Liu Wan Ying glanced at Yu Xing; despite being on vacation, she suddenly felt a bit like she was at work. She sat up a little straighter on the sofa—this college student was indeed different.
