Clothes make the man, and Tan Jincheng doesn't have an Audi.
However, a Passat is sufficient these days, though after the Canton Fair, this car won't be suitable for use anymore.
After all, it belongs to Jinpeng Trade's assets.
"Damn it, where can I get more money to buy a car? A new company can't operate without a car."
After leaving the proxy registration company, Tan Jincheng pondered this question.
The new car couldn't be worse than a Passat, otherwise, those he knew before would think he had gone bankrupt.
The business world is just like that; unless you don't change cars, you can only upgrade to more premium ones.
Replacing a Passat with a Chery QQ?
Sorry, payments can't be delayed for even a day.
This is reality.
"Let's go get two football lottery tickets first. Zhang Xupeng isn't here, so I can buy a bit more, hehe."
It would be too conspicuous if the football lottery yielded a car better than a Passat.
It's best not to do that before the champion is decided.
But covering the entire rent is fine.
I should shear as much wool as I can.
According to the prices I've seen, the annual rent for the new office should be around 50,000 to 60,000 yuan.
The Milan Derby, the match date is April 6th.
AC Milan won the first leg 2:0 against Inter Milan.
There was an incident in the second leg where Inter fans caused trouble and were directly ruled to lose 0:3.
I don't know how to bet on that, so I'll just bet on the first leg.
However, I can't go to the one near Ningzhiyuan to buy it; I need to go somewhere farther.
It was already quite late today.
After buying the lottery tickets, Tan Jincheng was too lazy to go to the company.
Back home, Tan Jincheng started drawing and writing about the new company's structure; he needed to complete the basic framework of the new company as soon as possible.
There should be at least 2 salespersons to be more competitive.
For other positions like technical support engineers and after-sales trainers, there should also be at least 2 employees.
For the remaining positions, one person is enough.
I also need to hire an office clerk who can double as my assistant, sweep floors, act as a cleaner, and so on.
"Calculating this way, the number of full-time employees should be between 10 and 12 people."
Tan Jincheng mused, stroking his chin.
The rent is settled.
Calculating for 12 people, with an average salary of 5,000 yuan, plus social security and miscellaneous expenses, the minimum monthly expenditure would have to be over 80,000 yuan, right?
Let's calculate based on 80,000 yuan.
The 500,000 yuan loan can last at most about half a year, which is just enough to get through to the Autumn Canton Fair.
That's not bad.
Of course, in actual operations, 500,000 yuan certainly won't last that long; but it doesn't matter, by June, I'll have money again.
Unlike last year's good luck, just the initial promotion costs alone will require a significant expenditure.

The next day, Tan Jincheng first went to Jinpeng Trade and briefed the Li Yanning sisters.
For a long time to come, both bosses would not be at the company, and the two sisters would essentially be in a free-range state.
Slacking off was inevitable.
In his previous life, Tan Jincheng had also been a boss, so he knew this well and couldn't control it even if he wanted to.
Working is just that, getting paid to do work.
Do you still expect employees to treat the company as their home?
If employees really did that, bosses might not even be happy.
But no matter how much they slack off, they must try not to affect normal work procedures.
This was beyond doubt.
If it really affected work progress, Boss Tan wouldn't be so lenient.
Fortunately, there wasn't yet any talk of "workplace rectification" in those years, and the boss's promises were still very appealing.
With a different historical background, in an era where everyone talked about striving, working hard and achieving wealth through diligence was the mainstream social concept.
The post-00s generation might not understand that "chicken soup for the soul" and scoff at it, but given different historical backgrounds, the effect of "chicken soup" was unimaginable to those who hadn't experienced that era.
It's hard to understand a young man who just entered society, going into a factory as an apprentice, getting only two or three hundred yuan for living expenses each month; some even had no living expenses and had to pay out of their own pocket to buy cigarettes for their master and treat him to meals, just to please him and learn a skill that would not be very useful in the future.
But the current tide of the times was exactly like that.
Tan Jincheng's younger cousin, Tan Jinen, after graduating from junior high, initially went to a car repair shop as an apprentice, with no salary but only food and accommodation provided, and he had to endure such treatment for at least three years.
Unable to bear it, he went to his maternal aunt to learn clothing manufacturing.
But even with his own aunt, his salary for half a year still belonged to her.
However, this also showed that the kid had some brains.
There was a reason he did well later.
With rapid social and economic development, and the urban environment changing almost every month, working for free for three years in such an environment would only make one a naive person.
After hyping up the employees, Tan Jincheng then went to the suppliers and gave them a pep talk.
These people were certainly not so easy to fool, but as long as everyone exchanged some boasts and saved face, it was fine.
In the following days, Tan Jincheng primarily followed Xu Fujie to view properties.
Xu Fujie was quite diligent, finding multiple property listings that relatively met the requirements in just three days.
After a comparison, Tan Jincheng finally chose a 153-square-meter office space located in Zone B of the office building, not far from Jinpeng Trade's current location, which is in Zone A.
Including property management fees, the annual rent was 60,000 yuan.
After signing the contract and handing over the keys, the right to use this office now belonged to Tan Jincheng.
As for the office renovation, Tan Jincheng didn't have time to deal with it for now.
He would first ask his maternal uncle, Zhang Qingliang, to take over for a period.
The renovation of the house in his hometown of Yicheng could be paused for now.
Holding the contract, Tan Jincheng walked out of the agency's door, pulled out his phone, and dialed Zhang Qingliang's number:
"Hello, Uncle, I need to tell you something. It's like this..."
Every circle has its own network of contacts.
Many people from Zhejiang Province work away from home, and many of them are in renovation.
Tan Jincheng didn't know these people, but Zhang Qingliang certainly knew some, or even was familiar with them.
Entrusting these matters to him would be far more convenient than Tan Jincheng making blind inquiries himself.
With an office location, the remaining issue of the business license would be much simpler.
This time, Tan Jincheng was registering not just a simple trading company, because this was related to a series of subsequent plans.
A purely trading company could no longer satisfy Tan Jincheng's future plans.
Friday, April 8th.
With an excited heart, Tan Jincheng finally obtained the business license.
"Yongcheng Jinyi Industrial Co., Ltd."
This was also the name of the company in his previous life, except that the scope of business had changed significantly, and the establishment date was more than a decade earlier.
Established on April 8, 2005, with Tan Jincheng as the legal representative.
The scope of business includes the manufacturing and processing of household appliances, electronic products, electrical products, communication products, mechanical equipment, molds, plastic products, and hardware products; self-operated and agency import and export business for various goods and technologies (excluding goods and technologies restricted or prohibited by the state for company operation or import/export).
In addition to Tan Jincheng as the legal representative, Jinyi Industrial also had another shareholder: Tan Lihua, who held a 2% stake.
Ordinary employees of state-owned enterprises, as long as they are not civil servants and have not signed an agreement, can register companies or even serve as legal representatives.
Therefore, Tan Lihua's role as a shareholder in Jinyi Industrial was legal and compliant.
