Technological Supremacy Chapter 18: Start a business today!
Walking out of Fudan University, Luo Jia rushed to the subway station non-stop, and went to Xujiahui before it was dark.
Once you take this step of starting a business, there is no turning back. All the money you earned with great difficulty before must be invested in it. If you fail, you will be successful.
Together with Xu Changge's advance payment for next month's advertising fee, Luo Jia now has 2.07 million funds on hand, including 400,000 yuan owed to his uncles. Funds were tight at the beginning of the business, so he had to let his uncle Let's wait for a while.
The office location is Xujiahui, CICC Building.
Xujiahui is a transportation hub. Luo Jia can get there directly from Songjiang University City by taking Metro Line 9. It is also very convenient for students from Fudan University to come here.
The environment of this place is good. Looking across from the building, there is a large green space and a Catholic church.
If you walk more than 100 meters to the south, you will find the bustling Xujiahui business district, Ganghui Hang Lung, Pacific, Oriental, Bailian, Metro City, where there are many super shopping malls, where food, accommodation and transportation are very convenient.
Luo Jia's fancy office building is located on the 16th floor, with a 520-square-meter bay, 90 workstations, and five separate offices, which can be used as a manager's office, financial office, and meeting room.
Rent plus various security and cleaning fees, 82,000 per month, one month's deposit, and three months' advance payment.
Led by the staff, Luo Jia went into the office building to have a look. It used to be a branch of a communication company, but now it has moved out.
The decoration is a typical steel straight man style, using a lot of black and white tones, even the chairs are solid pure steel swivel chairs, not elegant at all, just trying to be practical.
Luo Jia likes this style very much, because he himself is a man of science and engineering, with a straightforward aesthetic taste, and he always wears sweatpants and a hoodie.
The desks, chairs and benches are all ready-made, and you can buy some office equipment such as computers and copiers, and they can be put into use immediately.
Luo Jia thought it was good, and paid 328,000 yuan including the deposit and rent, took down the office building, and called Li Moran to make an appointment tomorrow.
Early the next morning, when Luo Jia came to the Zhongjin Building, he found that Li Moran was already waiting outside, and he brought two classmates with him.
"It's so early, isn't it nine o'clock?" Luo Jia opened the door with the key.
"I've always been used to coming early, and I think the new company must have a lot of things to do, so I brought two classmates to help. They are all graduate students, my juniors. They were there when you gave a lecture yesterday. Worship, as soon as I heard that I was coming to you, I rushed to volunteer." Li Moran said.
These two students, one named Hong Tao and the other named Di Wuchang, both had sunny and enthusiastic personalities, compared to Li Moran, who seemed extraordinarily stable.
Although Luo Jia has the inheritance of an extraterrestrial civilization in his head, he is still a newcomer to society after all. With Li Moran's help, everything becomes much easier.
"Teacher, Luo Jia needs a batch of computers here. Would you like to discuss with the people from Lenovo, and use the method of installment payment to solve his current financial pressure." Li Moran called Sha Zhan, " It would be best to divide it into 12 installments. In this case, you only need to pay a little more than 1,000 yuan for a computer worth more than 10,000 yuan, and you can take it and use it first."
"You are really good at planning for Luo Jia, I know." Sha Zhan said on the other end of the phone, "However, computers alone may not be enough, photocopiers, printers, projectors, network equipment, I have all these Very familiar, you don't have to worry about it, just wait at the company."
As the vice president of Fudan School of Computer Science, Sha Zhan's face is quite easy to use in the IT industry.
In the afternoon, someone delivered the computers, two top-end ThinkPad X1s, sixty T-series mid-to-high end ones, and eight ordinary desktops for financial and administrative purposes.
The two top-end X1s are for Luo Jia and Li Moran, and the other students use the T series.
The price is also different. Two X1 notebooks still cost 28,000 yuan each, while the T series is more than half cheaper, with a unit price of less than 12,000 yuan.
Luo Jia got the computer equipment worth 800,000 yuan with a down payment of 70,000 yuan. I have to say that in our celestial dynasty, there are indeed people who are easy to handle.
Since the last time I saw the X1 that Ye Bei was using, Luo Jia had been eyeing him all the time, and now he finally changed his mind, and he also used an expensive top-end laptop.
Coupled with printers, copiers, and projectors, the packing box alone is like a hill.
Luo Jia, Li Moran, Hong Tao, and Di Wuchang were busy until late at night before catching the last subway and returning to their dormitories. They also ordered takeaway for their meals.
It has to be said that young people are full of energy. Early the next morning, four people came to the company to work again.
Luo Jia gave Li Moran the key, and made an appointment that whoever arrives first will open the door first.
As a result, when Luo Jia walked into the company with sore legs, Li Moran had already led the students to work for a long time.
Luo Jia sighed in his heart, no wonder when he asked Sha Zhan for Li Moran, he was so reluctant. He is indeed a rare talent, responsible, prudent, and especially loyal. , He is not willing to let people go easily.
"Can you think of a way to keep Li Moran for a long time?" Luo Jia thought to himself.
...
After being busy for a whole week, Luo Jia and Li Moran were very tired.
By the time all preparations are completed, the time has entered late April.
Luo Jia made separate calls to inform Gu Pengdong and Sha Zhan, and made an appointment with them to come over early tomorrow morning. At the same time, they would also bring a development team composed of elites from Fudan University.
When she was about to leave the company, Luo Jia wiped the copper nameplate at the door carefully with a paper towel, showing a satisfied smile on her face.
Four large characters are impressively engraved on the nameplate.
Star Technology.
This is Luo Jia's own name ~IndoMTL.com~ which means that the company originated from an extraterrestrial civilization, and the ultimate goal is to go to the stars and the sea.
Li Moran and his two classmates have already gone back to rest early and are preparing to open tomorrow. At this moment, only Luo Jia is left in the company.
He was about to close the door and go back to school, but suddenly, the tick-tock sound in his ears suddenly became urgent, and the sound was very sharp, like some kind of special alarm.
Luo Jia was taken aback, quickly closed his eyes, and checked in his mind.
Now his brain is like a hard drive, with countless folders in it, most of which are relatively rudimentary knowledge.
This is like a technology tree, and the transmission of knowledge by extraterrestrial civilizations also starts from the most superficial.
First, basic mathematics and basic physics, followed by more esoteric parts such as high-energy physics and organic chemistry.
So far, the primary artificial intelligence technology has helped Luo Jia the most.
The eye of the sky, the little secretary who can reply automatically, the navy software that automatically posts posts, and the mobile assistant that will be developed soon, are actually behind the basic artificial intelligence technology.
As for advanced artificial intelligence, controllable nuclear fusion, and jump engine technology, none of these have been sent yet.
The rapid noise made Luo Jia uneasy. He hurriedly closed his eyes to check, and found that there was a new folder in his mind, called Elementary Robot Technology.
Luo Jia collected herself and clicked with consciousness. As soon as the folder was opened, the piercing sound in her ears disappeared immediately, and it returned to the usual, slight ticking sound.
"I understand. The sharp voice just now reminded me that important data is being transmitted." Luo Jia suddenly realized: "So, this elementary robot technology should be a very disruptive technology. Let's make it..."
