Chapter 245 Team Formation

The next morning, Xu Ye got up early and dragged Zhang Xinzhou down from the bed. After eating a few bites of food in the cafeteria, Xu Ye drove Zhang Xinzhou away from the school.

Zhang Xinzhou sat in the co-pilot seat with a helpless look on his face and asked: "The final exam is coming soon. If I don't study hard in the dormitory, where are you taking me?"

Xu Ye: "To rent an office."

"Office?" Zhang Xinzhou asked curiously: "Don't we have an office? Why do we need to rent an office?"

Xu Ye replied concisely: "I want to start an investment company. I have already found the person in charge of the investment department. Before the summer vacation, I have to set up the office and recruit the right people."

"Investment company?"

Xu Ye had not formally told Zhang Xinzhou about this matter. Zhang Xinzhou was very surprised to suddenly learn the news. He said puzzledly: "Where did you get the money?"

Waiting for the traffic light, Xu Ye unlocked his phone, found the bank account transfer message in the text message, and handed the phone directly to Zhang Xinzhou.

Zhang Xinzhou took it and looked at it, and instinctively counted: "One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million, damn! When did you become so rich?"

"I made it in the stock market, I played with leverage."

"Fuck you, you've become a multimillionaire before you even finished your freshman year, what should I do when I feel so unbalanced?"

Xu Ye snatched the phone away: "Cold it!"

Zhang Xinzhou was still a man who had seen the world, and soon calmed down. If Yang Fei knew that Xu Ye had more than 13 million in his bank card, he would probably recognize him as his father on the spot.

"Where are you going to rent an office?"

"Jinqiao Wanchuang Center is right below Huawei Research Institute. It takes ten minutes to drive there, and twenty minutes to ride an electric bike. I looked it up online yesterday. A 140-square-meter office rents for 15,000 yuan a month, and a 200-square-meter office rents for 20,000 yuan a month. I won't consider larger offices. For now, I'll spend my money wisely. If the environment is okay, I'll take it today."

The distance was not far, and the two chatted for a few words before the car drove to the Jinqiao Wanchuang Investment Promotion Center. When the staff inside heard that someone wanted to rent an office, they immediately took the key and took Xu Ye to see the site.

There are many office buildings here. For a single office building, there are five floors above and below, and two garages underground.

After entering the office, the staff began to introduce: "The person who rented this office before is doing e-commerce. The hard decoration has been completed. You just need to purchase a batch of desks and chairs and you can start working immediately. If you can rent it today, you can waive half a month's rent, but we rent it for a year."

Xu Ye asked: "How many people can this set accommodate working at the same time?"

"About 30 people."

"What about the 200-square-meter one?"

"Fifty people are no problem, and 60 people can squeeze in."

Xu Ye quickly made a decision and said: "Then take me to see the 200-square-meter one."

"No problem, this way."

The two spent an hour looking at many offices, and finally decided to rent the 200-square-meter office on the third floor.

Xu Ye signed the contract that morning, and after getting the key, Xu Ye took Zhang Xinzhou back the same way.

Waiting for the red light

Yang Fei suddenly sent a message to Zhang Xinzhou: "Brother, bring me a bottle of Coke when you come back."

Zhang Xinzhou: "Pepsi or Coca-Cola?"

Yang Fei: "Pepsi."

Zhang Xinzhou: "Cans or bottles?"

Yang Fei: "Bottles."

Zhang Xinzhou: "Iced or room temperature?"

Yang Fei: "Iced."

Zhang Xinzhou: "Okay, no."

Yang Fei: "Fuck you, why are you talking so much when you're not with me?"

Zhang Xinzhou: "Xu Ye said it's boring to wait for the traffic light, so he teased you."

...

When returning to the dormitory, Xu Ye still brought Yang Fei a bottle of Pepsi, but Xu Ye didn't tell him about the investment company.

Yang Fei is still too immature and has little experience, so Xu Ye doesn't plan to bring him into the investment company team.

At present, the people Xu Ye wants to bring into the team, in addition to Lu Cheng and Zhang Xinzhou, are Jiang Wei and Li Tongwen.

The main reason for bringing Jiang Wei in was because of her father Jiang Chao. With her in the team, Jiang Chao would definitely take care of him in the future. Xu Ye had already seen the resources he could leverage. In addition, Jiang Wei had worked in the trading company for so long, and her ability to be a financial officer was still good. If Xu Ye hired a stranger for such an important position, he would not feel at ease.

As for Li Tongwen, it was mainly because of Xu Ye himself. He had always sympathized with this roommate who came from a small place to a big city. Li Tongwen's hard-working attitude and honest character made Xu Ye admire him very much. Xu Ye felt that even if Li Tongwen knew nothing about the investment industry now, as long as he was allowed to intern with Lu Cheng for a period of time, with his learning ability, he should be able to get started quickly.

This was the tentative team prototype of Xu Ye.

In the afternoon, when the three roommates were reviewing for the final exam, Xu Ye slept in bed. It was already past four o'clock when he woke up. Xu Ye had just finished washing his clothes when he received a call from Lu Cheng.

"Hello."

"Hey, I'm a free man now." Lu Cheng's bitter laughter came from the other end of the phone: "I didn't expect that I had been working in this company for so long, and when I proposed to leave, they didn't even try to retain me. Forget it. , let’s not talk about this anymore. The other side has already replied to me about the matter I mentioned to you yesterday. Their producer has already raised nearly 3 million in crowdfunding, and it is expected that another 5 million will be needed. You see, we are investing part of it. ,still……"

Xu Ye immediately said decisively: "We will invest five million."

Lu Cheng asked: "Are you sure you won't think about it again?"

From Lu Cheng's point of view, Xu Ye only had a total of ten million, and investing five million at a time was too risky.

But Xu Ye replied: "I believe you."

Lu Cheng: "But..."

Xu Ye: "This loss is mine. You don't need to be stressed. I've already rented the office. I'll send you the address later."

Lu Cheng: "Okay."

Xu Ye: "That's it for now. We'll communicate at any time these days."

Lu Cheng: "Yeah."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Ye thought for a moment and found Jiang Wei's contact information in his friends list. He made a voice call directly.

Jiang Wei, who was reviewing in the dormitory, heard her cell phone ringing. She quickly picked it up and looked at it. She found that it was Xu Ye and she frowned and answered the call.

"If you have anything to tell me, I'm reviewing."

Xu Ye quickly smiled and said: "I took out the money from the stock market. How about we have dinner together tonight? I'll call Zhang Xinzhou and Li Tongwen and tell you something by the way."

Jiang Wei paused for a moment before replying: "Okay."

Xu Ye: "In about half an hour, I will drive to your dormitory downstairs."

Jiang Wei replied quickly and hung up the phone.

Ever since she met Jiang Meilin and Chen Qingqing, Jiang Wei had been deliberately keeping a distance from Xu Ye. She didn't want to be like her stepmother.

Half an hour later.

Xu Ye drove Zhang Xinzhou, Li Tongwen, and Jiang Wei to a roadside restaurant. Originally, Xu Ye planned to call Yang Fei. After all, the other two roommates had already called him. It was a bit embarrassing not to call him alone. Unexpectedly, Yang Fei would The goods went directly to Li Lulu.

"You guys find a seat first, and I'll take the order."

Xu Ye walked up to the boss, looked at the menu on the wall and ordered five dishes first. When he was hesitating whether to add another hard dish, the boss took the initiative and suggested: "Young man, I have fresh lamb kidneys here. Do you want me to make some stir-fried kidneys for you?"

"Boss! I am a seven-foot tall man in the prime of life. Do I need this?"

"Well……"

"But my two friends have been a little weak recently, so you should fire one for me."

"Okay."
