Dressed As a Cannon Fodder Substitute For a Beautiful President - Chapter 103

There is no need to waste time trying to persuade the team members, the BP work is progressing smoothly, and the progress that was previously dropped is gradually recovered.

But Qi Zheng, as the team leader, still has to urge all team members to complete their responsible parts in a timely manner, and also coordinate everyone’s different opinions.

“Qi, you work in the President’s Office of Shen’s, and you have participated in the negotiation of many important projects. Come up with some data models. Wouldn’t it be more convenient for us to modify the data inside?”

This is not the first time that this topic has been mentioned, and Qi Zheng refuses every time without hesitation. The reason is very simple, this is Shen’s business secret, she can’t disclose it at will, even if only the model has no real data, she is not willing to tell others the information she came across in the secretary’s office.

“You are too stubborn. Business is not scientific research, and you need appropriate adaptations.” The classmate shook his head and spread his hands and sighed, “You really should work for a few more years, proper training is indeed necessary.”

The implication is that he feels that Qi Zheng’s affairs are not smooth enough, and he does not know how to be flexible.

The average working years of the classmates is about five years, and the highest is even nearly eight years. In the eyes of these people, Qi Zheng is indeed a newcomer.

Such doubts have been looming since she entered the school, but Qi Zheng’s grades and classroom performance are nothing to be picky about, so no one will talk about it. When it came to the final big job, which required strong coordination and balance, they finally seized the opportunity and enlarged it infinitely.

“Keeping business secrets and safeguarding the company’s interests are principles rather than experience. I think this is only related to people’s character and philosophy, and will not change due to the increase in working hours.”

That classmate was an Indian who went to the United States to study as an undergraduate. After graduation, he went to Silicon Valley to work for a few years and then came to study for an MBA, hoping to seek a promotion. Usually, before the group discussion, he has the most opinions. Various plans and ideas are listed one after another. When it is time for a group meeting or homework to be handed in, his phone will never be connected in time.

This time, I thought he would be the team leader in terms of qualifications and positive performance, but I didn’t expect that the last team leader turned out to be Qi Zheng.

When Qi Zheng said this, his face was ugly, and he couldn’t explain anything more forcefully. After all, he really wanted to use tricks.

After hesitating for a while, he finally found a step for himself: “Although it is a big job, it can’t really be regarded as a job. After all, I don’t have the resources and time.”

This point is true, almost all of the students come from well-known companies. The advantage of large companies is that they have a large platform and sufficient resources, and they do not need to do everything themselves.

But Qi Zheng cherishes such an opportunity. If she wants to start a business, she must start from low. No matter how inconspicuous an opportunity is, she can’t let it go. Many jobs can only be done by herself, and she must adapt to multiple role transitions.

Just like now, in the face of the doubts and dissatisfaction of the team members, she is also low-key and silent in the past to avoid conflicts as a means of resolution.

Qi Zheng still kept a decent smile: “It’s not work, but it’s more important than work at this time. The hard work in the past year and more has relied on it to show the results. If you miss such a good opportunity, it will be more serious than ordinary work mistakes. It’s frustrating.”

This grade will definitely be included in the resume in the future. No one wants to get a C for this assignment that is closest to the real business environment.

After the meeting, Li Yunshan laughed wantonly, and followed Qi Zheng to the small wonton shop: “I’m so happy to see him deflated. He usually talks so much, and the job is one he doesn’t want to do. It’s a blessing that he can figure it out and let you When I take out Shen’s calculation model, I suspect that all the projects he has done in the company before are taken from it.”

“There will definitely be more people like this in the future, we just need to stick to our principles. We can’t control what other people do, we can only try to make ourselves stronger, and we can choose not to work with such people.”

Li Yunshan laughed even louder: “You’re right! You have to work hard to be your own boss. When you meet someone like this, just say noway!”

Qi Zheng is already a frequent customer of this store, and her taste is basically fixed, so that as soon as she walked into the store, the proprietress smiled and nodded at her, and she knew what she was eating today.

“The homework is basically settled, and the business of starting a business should be officially launched.” Qi Zheng sent her business plan to the mailboxes of several angel investors last week, hoping to get a response.

“Have you submitted the application for the start-up fund of Big B? I heard that the competition this year is quite fierce.”

“I have sent all the documents that can apply, and I hope to get a reply next week.”

Qi Zheng was also a little nervous about this. This was the first time she had approached these venture capital funds in her own name.

“But Neil Consulting also sent you an interview notice, are you still going?”

Neal Consulting is one of the five well-known consulting companies in the United States. In recent years, it has vigorously developed the Asian market. The year before last, it moved its Asia-Pacific headquarters from Hong Kong to Haicheng.

“Go, in case the venture capital fails to land, at least ensure that graduation is not unemployment.”

Now that she has mentioned to Shen Zhibing that she wants to stay in the United States, whether it is for work or starting a business, Qi Zheng has made plans for herself. Besides, she also had to repay Shen shi’s study expenses.

Li Yunshan bit her spoon and thought for a while, then realized: “I always felt that you were a little different after you came back from the last vacation, and now I know what has changed.”

Qi Zheng took a bite of the scallion pancake and was a little curious. Not only did Zhuang Muqing say so, she really wanted to hear it.

“You were always a little sad before and couldn’t say what was wrong, but you weren’t as energetic as you are now. If you told me you wanted to start a business at that time, I would definitely persuade you to think about it again.”

Qi Zheng listened silently, but she didn’t feel that she had changed so much. But the mentality is indeed different, and she can now be more devoted to doing what she wants to do.

“Looks like a good change.”

“Absolutely.”

When Qi Zheng finished her homework, it was already one o’clock in the morning. She pressed her neck a few times and opened her mailbox to see if there was any response to the business application she sent earlier. I have been mentally prepared before, but I have received very few replies this week, and most of them have fallen into the sea.

Occasionally received replies are also politely declined.

There are too many people in the world who want to start a business, and she also knows that she will not be the lucky one who hits it with a single blow, but she still doesn’t want to give up.

The decision to study for an MBA was definitely the right decision. Here, she met classmates from different industries, as well as professors with unique insights into business theory, and more importantly, she had the alumni resources of the B business school.

This is not something that can be easily bought with hundreds of thousands of dollars. Here, Qizheng’s ambition is nourished and gradually grows up. She admitted that Shen Zhibing stimulated her, but after calming down, she knew that she didn’t do such a thing for anyone.

She hopes to find her own way, and only then will she have the ability to truly choose.

With such a firm goal, it seems less lost when I see rejected emails again. To be precise, she didn’t give herself too much sad time, and had to race against time to find the next opportunity.

What she wants to do is to provide integration help for the group of international students who have just arrived in the United States, especially the younger ones. It’s not the renting, making friends or even illegal assignments that are popular on the market today.

She focuses on how young people adapt to an unfamiliar cultural environment and complete a rapid and natural transition under high-intensity learning pressure. This used to be an insurmountable obstacle for her, let alone those young children.

However, there are very few people providing such services at present, or even none, but it cannot be said that there is no such service, but it is fragmented and scattered in various projects. The first thing Qizheng needs to do is to integrate, first integrate basic projects into a closed loop, and then optimize.

She shared her thoughts with a few Chinese classmates, and everyone believed that there was indeed a market demand for this, but they also pointed out objectively that the target customer group was not large, and it was difficult to gain early trust.

Who would trust their children to be handed over to a company or institution they do not know to help them integrate?

For this reason, Qi Zheng revised the original plan. She changed the first group of customers from those who came to study abroad alone to those who study with their parents.

Li Yunshan looked at her latest revised version and thought about it: “It’s possible, but then you have to convince two clients.”

Qi Zheng smiled, in fact, the target customer is still the same, but it has become a parent.

Seeing that Li Yunshan still had doubts, she continued to explain: “Parents who accompany students generally have better economic conditions and are able to purchase such services. And being able to accompany them shows that they care more about their children’s lives and can impress them. Naturally, they don’t have to worry about word of mouth. .”

Li Yunshan thinks it makes sense. Parents actually have their own small circles. When you encounter good things, you will definitely share recommendations with each other as soon as possible. Their services themselves are niche and do not need to be advertised overwhelmingly.

“It’s better to go deep in a targeted manner than to cover everything.”

Qi Zheng revised his thinking, adjusted and explained several important parts, and distributed the new version of the plan to several new funds.

She noticed that she recently came to University B to promote the lemon fund. The amount provided is not too high but the application threshold is low, which has attracted great attention.

However, there are very few introductions about the Lemon Fund, which makes Qi Zheng unable to start, so he can only send the plan to the mailbox on the brochure.

Li Yunshan originally planned to stay in the United States after graduation. After listening to Qi Zheng’s entrepreneurial plan, she also became interested and prepared to venture together.

“This lemon fund looks weird. It seems that no one has invested in it before. Could it be a lie to the idea?”

Qi Zheng also had such concerns, but after all, it was an opportunity, and she didn’t want to miss it.

“The initial submissions were only frameworks, and the specific data was not complete. Besides, our product is to be implemented, and we have to integrate resources. It is not cost-effective to steal the idea.”

Indeed, this is not an “Internet project” suitable for high-speed replication. After the capital is taken, it is still necessary to find someone to do it.

“It’s bad if you can’t replicate it quickly. Don’t you know that capital likes chickens that can lay eggs in a short period of time, preferably every day.”

Qi Zheng smiled and comforted her: “That’s why we have to try more, maybe we will meet investors who are not so eager for quick success.”

Qi Zheng didn’t expect it. Three days later, she received a reply from Lemon Fund, saying that she was very interested in her business plan and wanted to know more.

Originally, she was swiping her mailbox in a daze, but now she wakes up instantly and immediately got up and called Li Yunshan.

“Qizheng, are you sleepwalking in the middle of the night and think of me the first time?”

“Yunshan, the Lemon Foundation has replied to me, we have a chance!”
