Chapter 482: Is One Thousand Square Enough?

Professor Shang is a female, of a certain age, with mottled hair and simple clothes. The inside is a dark blue shirt with small white plaids, and a red cardigan with a sense of history on the outside, with a slightly darker complexion. , at first glance, he really doesn't look like a professor, let alone someone who used to be the vice president of Tongfang.

However, her eyes are wise, her conversation is elegant and graceful, and after getting along for a while, she can let you experience the demeanor of a high-level intellectual. She is also black, dressed in the same soil, and the temperament of a kiln burner is different from that of a teacher.

"This is Xiaofeng, the classmate who boasted that he wanted to set up a company listed on NASDAQ when we were just in the first grade?" Professor Shang said with a smile. like a joke.

These words quickly shortened the distance, "Hi, professor, I am Feng Yiping, and this is the main creator of my team, Jin Ling," Feng Yiping bent down slightly to shake hands with her, he has grown very fast in the past two years, and Professor Shang is not tall.

Jin Ling also had a smile on his face, "Hello, Professor Shang."

"Sit, sit," Professor Shang moved them to the sofa, "I heard that Xiaofeng, you are amazing, you have already founded many companies at a young age, can you tell me more about it?" Professor Shang asked with a smile.

"Thank you, teacher! I'm just lucky. Most of our current companies are traditional companies involved in industries such as home improvement, furniture, convenience stores, hotels and fast hotels. We are also involved in high-tech industries. Our Zhitong software has developed management software that is mainly aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises and has its own intellectual property rights, and currently has a good market share in several provinces in central China." Feng Yiping briefly introduced his company.

"Not bad!" Professor Shang nodded after listening, "It's a fluke for a company to succeed. If so many companies are established and develop well, then it's not a fluke!"

"Mr. Thank you for your praise! It is mainly thanks to the help of everyone, such as Jin Ling, who do most of the work, and I am a hands-off shopkeeper."

"Yes, in today's society, it's unrealistic and inappropriate for one person to go it alone. An excellent team is the key to success. Miss Jin is pretty good," Professor Shang praised Jin Ling.

"However, you must know the original intention of the school to establish a science and technology park. It is to serve as a bridge between the school and enterprises, technology and products, and the market, and connect the school, the source of innovation, with the market. This is the main purpose of our establishment of the science and technology park."

What is said is the main purpose, in fact, it also explains the requirements for enterprises entering the park.

"I understand that the reason why I want to settle in the science and technology park is that besides the two new projects I want to work on, as the company grows larger, talent has become a key factor restricting our development. Therefore, I very much hope that there will be Such a window, with the convenience of the location, can attract these high-quality talents from the school to join.

For example, the design company I want to set up this time mainly wants to focus on school students. "

"Yes, talents are the most important asset of our school. The establishment of a science and technology park also considers providing students with internship and job opportunities." Professor Shang said.

"In addition, we also have some ideas for these existing traditional companies, and want to carry out some differentiated innovations. For example, for express hotels, we want to launch an online reservation system, and we will also consider connecting other hotels in the future. We are convenient The store's website will gradually transform into a shopping website in the future..."

"Well, the idea is not bad, but it is in line with the principle of expanding the business boundaries of your blue ocean strategy," Professor Shang said with a smile.

"It turns out that you have also seen my work, I am very honored!" Feng Yiping said with a shy smile.

"Hehe, it's good to be humble! According to the ideas you said, you are a young man with ideas and ambitions. Then this time, what kind of company are you going to start again?"

"We have two plans this time," Jin Ling handed over two business plans that were rushed out in the past two days. "One is a design company, covering industrial product design, decoration design, furniture design, etc., and the other is the focus of the group this year." project, we want to build the first professional automobile website in China,"

Professor Shang held the proposal in his hand, "You guys have been involved in decoration design and furniture design before, and you have done a good job, so I don't ask, industrial product design, which direction is it now?"

"Our first project is motorcycles and electric vehicles, which are mainly aimed at short-distance transportation, such as the commuting of college students. At present, we have made an overall plan, but there are many details that need to be improved. I also asked the Academy of Fine Arts about it. Some classmates, they all expressed their interest."

The plan has already come out, but it is only a very rough plan. Based on what he saw later, Feng Yiping chose two motorcycles and electric cars with outstanding looks.

"A good design may not necessarily turn into a good product, and a good product may not be popular in the market. How do you plan for these steps after the design is completed?" As expected of a person who has been an executive of a listed company , A key question was asked as soon as it was asked.

"We can save prototypes by ourselves. As for the subsequent mass production, we prefer OEM. This is something we hope the park can help. We know that the park is now negotiating with many provinces and companies. Cooperation, I would like to trouble the park to help us pay attention to the appropriate foundry."

Good design alone is not enough, and it is not easy to turn it into a good product.

When Feng Yiping read the novel later, he saw that many people were reborn a few years ago, and they rushed ahead of Apple and made smartphones one step ahead. Every time I read it, I wanted to laugh. When Apple first made smartphones, it was definitely better than new ones. The challenge of producing a car was even greater, because the car was already a mature industry at that time, and the production of smart phones was a pioneering industry, and the difficulty of production was not much lower than that of design.

"As long as the design is excellent and reasonable, and there is an estimated market for the product, it is not a problem to contact the OEM for you. What about sales?"

"This is not a problem. Our convenience store will have at least 800 branches this year. It has already taken root in several provinces and regions and is familiar with the local situation. At the same time, our logistics company will also There are all distribution points, and then we will open some directly-operated stores and find some agents, it will not be difficult."

Of course, in Feng Yiping's plan, he must not have many directly-operated stores, mainly to serve as a demonstration, mainly relying on agents.

"Well, yes, what about the automobile website? Although affected by Nasdaq, several major domestic portal websites have not performed well this year, but their strength is still there. Do you have the confidence to compete with them? Also, your profit model?"

This is simpler. Feng Yiping asked Jin Ling to say that since their last conversation, Feng Yiping wrote down his ideas, and then Jin Ling called everyone to make revisions and supplements, which has been very perfect.

So now Jin Ling's introduction is very smooth, and Professor Shang is also very satisfied with what he said, and what he said has something to say, and these two projects are projects with great market prospects.

Especially on automobile websites, most of the automobile users and potential users now have poor bargaining power, and the information from automobile sales companies and OEMs is completely unequal. However, with the rapid development of the economy, more and more companies and Families need to buy cars.

According to what they said, if you build a professional website that involves everything before buying a car, when you buy it, when you use it, and when it’s maintained, as long as you promote it well, you can gain popularity and attract 50 to 60 percent of the country’s car users. Four to five million people are covered on average, so it really doesn't take long.

And at that point, it is really only one step away from going public.

Because the science and technology park is a government-led project, it is the pioneer of domestic universities running science and technology parks. Therefore, the leaders of the park certainly hope to support and incubate more and more listed companies.

As the deputy director of the Park Development Center, Professor Shang quickly went through the companies that have already settled in his mind, and found that Feng Yiping's car website project is really very promising in terms of listing, at least ranking in the top five.

In fact, Professor Shang is being optimistic, not for Feng Yiping and others, but for other companies that have already settled in. None of the companies they have supported from the beginning has been successfully listed until 2007. Zero breakthrough.

"Hearing your introduction, the most important issue is the issue of talents. In terms of funds, do you have any difficulties?" Professor Shang asked.

"It's not just a question of talent. We are in the capital now and can't find a suitable office location. In addition, it is about future OEM and related certification,"

People who are involved in the industry know that there are many products that are still connected with the above. For example, those people made smart phones first. It is not that you can sell them after you produce them, but you have to pass many certifications from relevant units. The most basic , it is necessary to pass the 3C certification.

For example, the Three C certification, we don’t talk about other things, just the information you need to provide when you apply for certification for the first time, from the organization chart of your production plant to the general assembly diagram of the product, electrical schematic diagram, process flow chart... ..., adding up to a total of dozens of copies.

Without a good or strong relationship, it is really an extravagant hope to succeed in the certification in a short period of time, but it is different in the science and technology park. The self-owned park will help you negotiate. The so-called perfect service in the science and technology park is not empty, it will be in many aspects like this Help settled companies save costs and time.

"As well as participating in foreign exhibitions, etc., there are many problems that need help. I learned that many of the companies entering the park are founded by alumni. Like them, I regard the school and the park as my parents from the bottom of my heart. I hope that when problems arise in the future, the school and the park can help me more.”

Regarding the funding issue mentioned by Professor Shang, Feng Yiping avoided talking about it, but played the emotional card.

This question is really difficult to answer. If you say that the funds are sufficient, then well, of course, it is not easy to give you a discount on the rent. If you say that you are short of money, then the park will invest a part of it. Do you agree? But Feng Yiping was really unwilling.

"Hehe, your metaphor is very vivid. We must strive to be the head of the family. I understand your situation. Is 1,000 square meters of office space enough?"

"Ah?" Feng Yiping was a little stunned. Didn't he have to fill out a lot of forms and submit a lot of materials, and then the leaders would study one or two things as usual? Why did they decide so quickly?

In fact, he underestimated the determination of the park to make a career out of it. There are of course many procedures for ordinary companies to apply to settle in, but for such a promising company run by his own students, those procedures can of course be waived. In fact, it is also an enterprise, not an institution.

Professor Shang thought he was worried about the rent, "Don't worry about the rent. We set up the Science and Technology Park not to earn rent, but to hope that a large number of excellent enterprises can grow here."

Feng Yiping is really overjoyed now, it is good to be organized, he was really wise when he decided to come to Tsinghua University, Professor Shang is really generous, "Thank you, Professor Shang!"

"You don't need to thank me. The space is limited now, so I can only give you so much. In fact, what I hope most is that in a few years, you can get a piece of land and build a building by yourself," Professor Shang said with a smile.

"I would like to borrow your auspicious words!" Feng Yiping originally thought so, renting a piece of land first, and after a company goes public, collect some money and come back, apply for a piece of land near the park to build by itself. This is China's Silicon Valley. Wudaokou, the center of the world!

Teacher Xiao Jin, who was still waiting outside, watched the two of them come out with smiles on their faces, walked up to Jin Ling, and asked, "How is it? How long will it take for an answer? Should I find an acquaintance to find a solution? "

It's a pity, how could the happy Jin Ling have the heart to talk to him now?

"Thank you, Mr. Jin, Professor Shang has already agreed, 1000 square meters, the rent is favorable!"
