Chapter 10 A beautiful woman wants to ask you out!
The more you talk to someone you know well, the more you need to pay attention to your manner of speaking and tone of voice.
Because familiar relationships often blur the boundaries between each other and one's own authority.
If you use an overly absolute or commanding tone when discussing the business plan with Xu Ping'an and the others, some people might develop negative emotions.
This is the dark side of human nature.
Lu Yao was very familiar with this thing.
Xu Pingan was in a good mood tonight and had drunk quite a bit, so he said boldly, "You tell us, we'll listen to you."
Lu Yao smiled and said, "First of all, there's the issue of decision-making power. If we want to get things done, the decision-making power can't be everyone's doing; there has to be someone to take charge and make the final decision."
Sure enough, those words came out.
The roommates in the dormitory exchanged complicated glances.
They spent the whole afternoon running around and didn't return until dark. They've already experienced firsthand that this is indeed feasible, and it might actually be quite profitable in the future.
Young people, who doesn't have a bit of vanity? Who doesn't want to be in charge?
Originally, everyone was partners, but suddenly Lü Yao said one sentence and he wanted to turn them into laborers working for his roommate... How painful is that?
Xu Ping'an, quick-witted as ever, immediately chimed in, "Da Yao is right! Your idea is the best! From now on, you make the decisions, and we'll carry them out."
Lü Yao waved his hand, "No, I have other things to do."
Upon hearing this, the roommates, apart from Xu Ping'an, exchanged even more complicated glances.
Their precious entrepreneurial opportunity was rejected by Lü Yao so casually?
Xu Pingan's initial drunkenness quickly dissipated, and he stared at Lü Yao: "Aren't you coming to work with us?"
Lu Yao smiled and said, "I can offer you some advice and make some plans, but I won't be deeply involved in this matter. So I'll only take a 5% stake here, is that alright?"
Xu Pingan and the others exchanged glances. After a moment, Xu Pingan made the decision: "Okay! But 5% sounds like we're being too formal, so 10% is the minimum! Does anyone have any objections?"
The other roommates smiled and said it was no problem.
While Lü Yao was talking about these things, he was also observing his roommates.
He knew that in the end, some original shareholders would inevitably be kicked out of the business partnership, and some individuals might be eliminated very soon.
This is all normal.
As long as a company is still pursuing profits, it will become a living entity in concept, constantly undergoing a process of survival of the fittest.
Lu Yao had seen this kind of thing many times before.
After everyone in the dormitory agreed, Lü Yao continued to impart his business acumen to them.
For example, in the early stages of starting a business, how should everyone's authority be allocated, how should funds be invested, and how should existing resources be utilized effectively? Lu Yao talked a lot about the last point, in particular.
Their biggest advantage right now is that they are still in school and have the status of students.
Being a student, especially a university student, is itself a valuable asset in the business world.
When Lü Yao was in college, he could make a fortune every year by registering freshmen.
During my sophomore year, I used the network of contacts I had built up at school to open a "homeparty," a small bar, and a human resources company near the school. After graduation, I also started doing "onboarding training."
Lu Yao didn't even overlook the teachers' resources at the school.
This is an important resource that many students often overlook. The seemingly ordinary teachers in universities are very likely to be the most high-level people that most people will come into contact with in their lifetime.
Especially the words of professors from many top universities, if spoken elsewhere, could very well become local policy.
Lu Yao concluded, "Therefore, once the business chain is established, it's crucial to leverage available resources, especially those within the university, to scale up the business. When we have the resources and sufficient influence, money will come to us on its own."
After saying that, Lü Yao picked up a can of beer to moisten his throat.
Xu Pingan and the others stared at Lü Yao as if they had seen a ghost.
Xu Pingan slapped him hard on the thigh, making him wince: "Damn it, Da Yao! Where did you get so much business acumen? This stuff was never taught in school!"
Lü Yao smiled.
Universities should indeed be places for researching cutting-edge technologies and staying at the forefront of academia.
However, as the social structure becomes more stable and various jobs in society become saturated, the role of universities changes, and the things they teach begin to become outdated and obsolete.
Before Lu Yao transmigrated, he saw these things and that's why he started doing onboarding training outside of school. Back then, his annual net profit was at least thirty-odd yuan.
Now, although I've traveled through time.
However, the social structure of this world is not much different from that before he transmigrated, so his previous experience is still useful.
Having said everything that needed to be said, Lü Yao raised his glass in final farewell: "Then may we all become wealthy!"
Xu Pingan was the most excited: "Get rich!!"
After finishing the drinking session, Lü Yao washed up and went to bed early.
As for Xu Ping'an and the others, Lü Yao could have done more and in more detail, but he had already outlined the plan for them. How to do it and whether they could succeed depended on their own abilities.
If they can succeed, Lü Yao wouldn't mind continuing to help them advance in the future.
If we can't even get this done, then there's no need to get involved any further in the future.
……
For the next period of time, Lü Yao focused on accumulating experience points and studying alchemy.
In the Alchemist Lv1 stage, in addition to "General Alchemy Training", there are two other knowledge courses: "Principles of Alchemy Transformation" and "Diagrams of Alchemy Runes and Arrays", each of which requires 20,000 general experience points.
Lu Yao now goes to the training center every day to train and improve his breathing. On average, he can gain about 3500 general experience points per day.
Even so.
By the weekend, Lü Yao had only accumulated a little over 20,000 general experience points.
Gan!
Now he's starting to feel that he's accumulating experience a little too slowly.
Humans are just that greedy. In reality, it can take a top-notch alchemy apprentice two years, or even more, just to master the "General Knowledge of Alchemy Cultivation".
And what about Lü Yao?
You can learn the "General Knowledge of Alchemy" in just one week!
In other words, this world only has one alchemist, Lü Yao. Otherwise, in the original world of alchemists, Lü Yao's explosive "talent" would have made all the geniuses of the time kneel down and beg for an audience.
Back then, Lü Yao could arrogantly say, "Genius is just the threshold to meeting me."
This weekend, Lü Yao first filled up "The Principles of Alchemy Transformation," and then a large amount of knowledge and applications about "the power of all forces" were forcibly stuffed into Lü Yao's mind.
Just as Lü Yao was preparing to put in the effort to thoroughly understand this part of the knowledge, he received a call from Gu Xiaoshu.
Lu Yao answered the phone: "What's going on?"
Gu Xiaoshu said with a smile on the phone, "Are you free? Want to hang out?"
Lü Yao chuckled: "What do you want me to do?"
They're so close they can even share a bed.
Gu Xiaoshu said in a strange tone, "Of course I didn't call you, it's just that a beautiful girl wants to ask you out~"
The image of Chen Yun'er immediately flashed into Lü Yao's mind, followed by Chen Yun'er's slightly frantic and embarrassed voice coming from the other end of Gu Xiaoshu's phone: "Oh my god, are you trying to kill me~"
While dealing with Chen Yun'er's pestering, Gu Xiaoshu giggled and said, "Say something, are you coming or not?"
