302: Chapter 296 Company_3 302: Chapter 296 Company_3 The car Chen Hai was driving now was indeed imposing, but it was only suitable for leisure outings and not quite fit for business purposes.
Besides, it wasn’t a new car, it was a compensation from Yan Jing, originally his own vehicle.
Chen Hai had considered getting a new car.
Unfortunately, upon realizing that even an unsightly, boxy Santana cost about two hundred thousand, he immediately dismissed the impractical thought.
No way around it, one word—he was still poor!
After acquiring the premises of Dafa Pawnshop as compensation, Chen Hai naturally had to find a way to make use of it.
That was why he had Xiang Dong register a company and set up the Future Information Consulting Company.
Under Xiang Dong’s guidance, Chen Hai walked into the company and looked around.
An office, a reception room, and the main office area consisting of two long tables joined together to form a simple desk, plus a few office chairs.
That was essentially all the facilities inside the company.
The former Dafa Pawnshop looked just like this, and Chen Hai’s Future Information Consulting Co., Ltd hadn’t changed apart from the sign.
“Get rid of these two long tables in the hall!”
“Bring in some genuine leather sofas, and some potted plants to place around the hall, just turn the entire hall into a reception area!”
“As for renovations, when you have time, you can redo it as well.”
“That new coffee shop on Chaoyang Road, the interior decorations there are pretty decent; you could take some cues from it.”
“Anyway, try to make this place look high-end and classy!”
…
After making a round inside the company, Chen Hai pointed out some spots he was dissatisfied with to Xiang Dong.
His company was aimed at doing business with wealthy clientele.
Making the company look upscale would instantly create a good impression.
“Alright, boss!” Xiang Dong nodded in response.
“I’ll transfer two hundred thousand into the company account later.”
“Just redoing and refurbishing the interior of the company should be enough!”
At this point, Chen Hai paused briefly, then spoke again, asking, “By the way, Xiang Dong, the receptionist you were supposed to hire, did you manage to find one?”
“Also, once the company starts operating, how should we kickstart the business?
Do you have any plans?”
In this company, Chen Hai was the boss, and Xiang Dong’s position was the manager.
Regardless of how many people he was in charge of, Chen Hai still had to pay him a salary every month.
Additionally, if the business did well and secured some deals, Xiang Dong could also earn some commission.
Since he was offering such generous terms, it was only natural for Chen Hai to inquire about the company’s business development.
“Boss, the receptionist I hired used to be a waitress at a restaurant.”
“She’s still processing her resignation and will officially start working here the day after tomorrow.”
“For the business part, I hired a group of elderly men and women to distribute flyers in some local shops…”
Xiang Dong explained with a slight hesitation.
“That’s just foolishness, our company needs to specifically target the wealthy or influential.”
“Hiring a group of old folks to distribute flyers everywhere?
What kind of image does that portray?”
“Doing it this way will only lower our company’s standards…”
Feeling somewhat speechless, Chen Hai rolled his eyes at Xiang Dong.
In his view, Xiang Dong’s method was hardly different from setting up a stall under a bridge.
If he didn’t select his clients and simply took anyone who came along, doing any kind of business, then what was the point of setting up a company?
“Excuse me, is this the Future Information Consulting Co., Ltd?”
“Can you really predict the future and provide guidance here?”
Just at this moment, a robust yet slightly skeptical deep male voice timely rose up beside Chen Hai’s ear.
