Chapter 129: Running the Company

  Chapter 129: Starting a Company

  Xuan Qi nodded calmly: "Yes, I want to start a company. To apply the knowledge learned in university classrooms to practice. If the classroom is a new recruit training camp, now I want to fight my own war."

  "But you only spent half a day in class... four periods at most." Lu Guangyan's voice trailed off. Xuan Qi had mastered the equivalent of three years' worth of university courses in just that short time, and not only that, he had also grasped them thoroughly and made connections between them. Now, after just one visit to the small machine room, so many students were stirred up to follow him into entrepreneurship.

  Lu Guang stared at Xuan Qi for a moment, lost in thought. There was something about this child that gave people an unparalleled sense of confidence, making everyone involuntarily believe in him and want to follow him to start a business, to soar together.

  Lu Guangyan didn't stop him, but instead asked: "How much money are you planning to invest? What do you want me to do?"

  "I have 30 million as start-up capital to develop a new type of downloader. I'd like to ask if this investment is enough to move into the North Qing Science Park?" The North Qing Science Park is a well-known IT incubator, whether it's the atmosphere or policy, it's the best choice at present.

  "The Science Park has a minimum standard, which is an investment of 10 million and more than 50 employees." Lu Guangyan still knows about this, but Xuan Qi's current qualifications are not enough. Lu Guangyan also hopes that Xuan Qi can retreat knowing the difficulty, and is also afraid of affecting Xuan Qi's future. Everyone is afraid of unintentionally hurting such a genius.

  So Lu Guangyan said to Yan Yuese again: "If you really want to start a company, I can help you with some procedures and pull in some preferential policies."

  Xuan Qi's eyebrows furrowed in surprise, unable to believe that the standard for entering the Science Park was so high. Meanwhile, Lao Ding said in a low voice, "If you don't want to stay here, then feel free to go wherever you like. Since the price of the Science Park is so high, then let's change places."

  Xuan Qi's mind was opened, in over a decade later, with the capital's housing prices soaring, it truly became worth its weight in gold. The Huacun Garden opposite the Science and Technology Park, although registered as a residential area for civilians, was also converted into office buildings by some companies. This good method is indeed worth learning from.

  As he pondered, Xuan Qi looked at Lu Guangyan: "I don't just want you to help with the procedures, I also want you to help with the loan. Is that okay?" The loan is related to financial leverage, and if used properly, it will be twice as effective. Xuan Qi has 3 million in cash and a piece of Emperor Green Jade worth 3 million, which means he has 6 million in start-up capital.

  Lu Guangyan shifted in his chair to make himself more comfortable and no longer regarded Xuan Qi as a junior but rather as an equal entrepreneur. He said in a low voice, "Tell me about your plan in detail."

  Xuan Qi nodded: "I now have 30 million in start-up capital and another 30 million in reserve funds. I plan to invest all this money in the real estate market. In Huaqing Garden, buying a house, at a price of 100 pings per room, with an average price of 4,000, the purchase value of one room is 400,000, and 6 million can buy 15 rooms. I plan to buy a whole building."

  Lu Guangyan's mind jumped a bit too far, making him wonder. From computer companies to real estate industry, this doesn't match. Lu Guangyan didn't interrupt Xuan Qi, but waited for him to continue speaking.

  "The entire building will be the new company's office location. Then I'll use the property as collateral to take out a loan, calculated at 60% of its value, and I can borrow 36 million yuan. With this money, I can buy computers, develop software, and pay salaries."

  Looking at Xuanqi talking incessantly, Lu Guangyan couldn't help but ask: "Why do you have to buy a building and then take out a loan? This will only add to the pressure of repayment. Why not rent an office building instead? And how can you guarantee that your software will be profitable before repaying the loan?"

  The whole plan is just like a child playing house, full of randomness, euphemistically called "unbridled imagination", but in fact it's just childish. He thinks entrepreneurship is too simple and regards it as a role-playing game.

  "I'm betting that the rate of inflation will be slower than the growth rate of real estate, in other words, I'm using investment to bet on the appreciation of immovable property." Xuan Qi showed his ambition and foresight for the first time: "In the future Huaxia will experience a real estate boom like Hainan did in previous years, and when it reaches a certain level, that's when it's the best time to enter the market."

  "Jumping from computer to real estate, isn't your transformation too big?" Lu Guangyan said in a low voice: "Each person can only grasp one treasure in their hands, and now you want to grasp two. I hope you think about the core later and come find me again."

  "It's not contradictory at all" Xuan Qi felt that Lu Guangyan had entered a misunderstanding: "Buying real estate is just for value preservation and investment, in other words, it's also to provide insurance for tech companies. Since we want to start a company, we'll definitely need to rent office space. Rather than paying rent, it's better to directly buy a residential building and convert it into an office building. Later, when we most need funds, we can cash out the property."

  "In business models, we all advocate for not putting eggs in one basket. This is a form of insurance."

  "But you can't guarantee a smooth flow of funds, and the repayment risk is unpredictable. Moreover, who can guarantee that the real estate industry will definitely skyrocket? What if it falls?" Lu Guangyan, without foresight, held doubts about the plan: "This is like walking on thin ice, one misstep and it's irreparable."

  "There are only two types of global economic systems: macroeconomics and microeconomics. Macroeconomics is often controlled by the state, while microeconomics has its own momentum. Now our country is adjusting the economy through policies, and it can be foreseen that in the near future, the country will inevitably become rich and powerful, a great power needs to rise, and the fastest way is real estate." Xuan Qi's eyes shone brightly, and history was also moving in this direction.

  "But real estate is just a bubble. The country will not sacrifice long-term development for short-term gains. It's a terrible cycle where wealth soars while concentrating resources in the hands of a few people. The country may progress but its people regress." Lu Guangyan had once studied this topic and understood that if the real estate industry grows wildly, it means the economic system is unhealthy. When the country and its people compete for wealth, it will inevitably lead to another round of inflation, which is also unavoidable.

  Xuan Qi understood that it would be difficult to persuade Lu Guangyan, and the two sides found it hard to reach an agreement in their debate on economics. So Xuan Qi retreated and asked: "If I can guarantee a steady flow of wealth in the future, will you help me run away with the loan and take the procedures?"

  "Of course," Lu Guangyan was still immersed in the academic atmosphere, and he didn't think that housing prices would skyrocket. At least not within the next twenty years, Hua Xia was brewing to apply for membership, and for stability's sake, it would definitely take some time to adapt and buffer.

  "Do you still remember that Republic of China imitation Qing Dynasty Qianlong coral red enamel auspicious magpie reporting good news reward vase? It was my substitute for a broken one, and I also have a piece of Tian Huang stone in my hand that resembles a bear's paw." Xuan Qi smiled slightly: "As long as I run to Panjiayuan a few times every month, I can get enough subsequent funding."

  "What did you say?" Lu Guangyan's body shook violently, and he couldn't see through Xuan Qi anymore. The top scorer of the college entrance examination, with an impressive memory, extraordinary insight, and some knowledge of antiques, all these combined to form a three-dimensional Xuan Qi, who seemed like a freak no matter how you looked at him.

  "Antiques can be picked up cheaply, but also blind the eyes..." Lu Guangyan always used good intentions to persuade Xuanyi, which made Xuanyi completely helpless. To change a person's deeply rooted way of thinking, facts are needed to speak louder than words.

  "Let's make a bet," although Xuan Qi was very reluctant to say this, but in order to utilize Lu Guangyan's social network, Xuan Qi had no choice but to do so: "Tomorrow I'll go to Panjiayuan and sell the Emperor's Green Jadeite, and on the way back, I'll pick up a few treasures. If I'm not lucky enough to find any bargains, please lend me a hand, Old Lu."

  "Go ahead," Lu Guangyan smiled deeply. Appreciating antiques relies on one's eyesight, not luck. Every new player always thinks they have a unique perspective, but after losing a few times, they'll learn what it means to be deceived by appearances.

  Lu Guangyan made up his mind to let Xuan Qi go to Pan's garden again to experience the baptism of national culture, suffer some setbacks and understand what it means to be humble. This would only bring benefits to his long-term development, with no drawbacks.

  Two people, one old and one young, with the same smile on their mouths, two big hands clapped together, which was considered as a confirmation of this bet.

  Xuan Qi returned to the courtyard, slowly closing his eyes. Today's sky was already late, and it wasn't suitable for going out to search for anything. Moreover, Xuan Qi also knew that other Xuan Men had begun to pay attention to Pan Jia Garden, trying to find the world's rare treasures. So tomorrow morning, he would go to Pan Jia Garden again, but this time, he needed to disguise himself.

  Speaking of the Soul Calming Jade, it's been a considerable amount of time since then. How come Old Turtle still hasn't gotten it done? The effort spent on water grinding is a waste of time, having a spiritual treasure but being unable to use it is somewhat unfulfilling.

  Lao Ding was busy in the Smoking Waves Fishing Village diagram, pulling out the An Hún Yù that had been soaking in the water. The white jade body, like sheep fat, had wave-like ripples moving outward, and the spiritual energy accumulated in the Smoking Waves Cave Heaven. Lao Ding's hands emitted a fierce flame, calcining the entire piece of An Hún Yù, using his technique to conceal this heavenly phenomenon.

  After all, Xuan Qi is not a top-notch cultivator yet, and the magical artifacts on his body need to be concealed with some techniques. Once Xuan Qi's techniques become more advanced, he can wear magical artifacts or heavenly treasures without needing to conceal them, and as soon as he steps out, there will be a radiant aura of thousands of feet, auspicious colors of thousands of strands, the surrounding spiritual clouds flashing, and his mood stirring up clouds and rain. If he slightly leaks some spiritual energy, it can bring blessings to an entire region.

  Unfortunately, Xuan Qi is now too weak and small. If he raises his profile slightly, he will be swallowed up without even leaving a trace. Therefore, before having the ability to protect himself, he must keep a low profile.

  Waiting for the second day sunrise, Xuan Qi finished his makeup. Originally still a young man in his early twenties, he instantly transformed into a middle-aged man in his forties. After carefully checking himself in the mirror and confirming that his disguise was flawless, Xuan Qi carried the Emperor's Green Jade and pushed open the courtyard door to head towards the Pan family garden.
