"Tomorrow? That's too fast! The company isn't even renovated yet. Where will we put people once we hire them?" Li Tao asked.
Li Tao felt that Shen Lu's approach of hiring people before the company was renovated would lead to chaos. To ensure the smooth operation of starting a company, he believed in taking things step by step.
Li Tao was somewhat rigid when it came to starting a company, not nearly as flexible as Shen Lu.
"That's easy. We can temporarily rent an office building. This way, we can save a lot of time," Shen Lu said.
"That's a good idea," Jiang Yi nodded.
Li Tao's face was filled with helplessness.
"Mr. Li, if you have any opinions, you can voice them, and we can discuss them together."
Shen Lu's gaze fell upon Li Tao.
From Li Tao's expression, Shen Lu could tell that he disagreed with this approach.
"Miss Shen, since you've asked me to speak, I'll be direct. Please don't be upset," Li Tao said.
"Speak your mind! I won't be upset!" Shen Lu said with a smile.
"Then I will!"
After speaking, Li Tao continued, "Starting a company isn't like playing house; you have to take it step by step, or there will be major problems. The company is still under renovation, yet you want to rent another office building and are rushing to hire a large number of employees and management. This is too hasty!"
"From your actions, it's clear you've never started a company before."
Shen Lu didn't get angry upon hearing this; instead, she chuckled.
"What are you laughing at?" Li Tao couldn't help but ask.
"I have no choice. Jiang Yi wants me to get the company up and running quickly, so I have to do it this way. But please believe me, I won't mess things up," Shen Lu replied.
Hearing this, Li Tao looked at Jiang Yi and said, "Mr. Jiang, this is bound to cause problems. It's not that I look down on Miss Shen, but Miss Shen simply doesn't have the capability to run a company. All your plans will go to waste."
Jiang Yi couldn't help but laugh.
Li Tao didn't know Shen Lu's true capabilities yet.
If Shen Lu lacked the ability to run a company, then no one would!
"Don't worry, Shen Lu is a very capable person. She can handle the company setup. You'll understand Shen Lu's capabilities later!" Jiang Yi said.
Li Tao looked unconvinced.
But he had no choice; Jiang Yi had already agreed!
He knew that whatever he said now was useless.
"From now on, you'll be responsible for the company's renovation. You don't need to worry about anything else; Shen Lu will handle it!" Jiang Yi said, his gaze falling on Li Tao.
Although Li Tao was reluctant, he nodded in agreement!
He had to obey Jiang Yi's arrangements.
Jiang Yi knew what Li Tao was thinking, but it didn't matter. Once he witnessed Shen Lu's true abilities, he wouldn't have any complaints.
"Then, shall we go?" Jiang Yi said to Shen Lu.
"Okay!"
Shen Lu nodded.
Li Tao hesitated for a moment, then asked Jiang Yi, "Mr. Jiang, wait a moment. What kind of style are you planning for the company's renovation? I need to know clearly, otherwise, if you're not satisfied after it's done, it will be difficult for me!"
"You handle this as you see fit!"
Jiang Yi smiled slightly, "The more luxurious, the better. If the renovation is too shabby, our company will be looked down upon. This is the custom in your Eagle Country, and since I'm in the Eagle Country, I must follow its customs."
Jiang Yi's words carried a hint of sarcasm.
"Mr. Jiang, I'm not from Eagle Country. I'm just like you!" Li Tao quickly said.
Jiang Yi and Shen Lu couldn't help but laugh at this.
Jiang Yi hadn't said anything about Li Tao, yet Li Tao was quick to defend himself.
"Mr. Jiang, don't worry, I will definitely renovate the company to be the most luxurious in this city!" Li Tao said.
"Mm!"
Jiang Yi nodded and said, "Don't be afraid to spend money. I have plenty of it!"
Li Tao grinned at this.
Jiang Yi said no more and left the company with Shen Lu, then they started looking for an office building.
"What kind of office building are you looking for?" Jiang Yi asked Shen Lu.
"The closest one to the company!" Su Dan Novel Network
Shen Lu replied, "This way, when the company building is constructed, moving things won't be so troublesome, and we'll save a lot of time."
After speaking, Shen Lu opened her phone's map and began searching for software related to office building information.
Soon, Shen Lu found one and contacted the landlord.
This office building was very close to their current location, just down the street, only a four or five-minute walk away!
Upon arriving at the entrance of the office building, Shen Lu began to look up at it.
"This building looks like it was built many years ago; it's a bit old, but from the outside, it's acceptable. Since it's just temporary, there's no need for it to be too luxurious."
Jiang Yi agreed with Shen Lu's assessment.
However, Jiang Yi felt the location was a bit secluded. The front was a quiet street, the back was a park, and the sides were residential areas.
The landlord hadn't arrived yet, so Jiang Yi and Shen Lu had to wait at the entrance.
"By the way, how large a company are you planning to start? I need to know clearly to make decisions," Shen Lu said.
"I plan to start the company with one billion yuan!"
Jiang Yi said, "Although the company is just a medicinal herb processing company, it can't be too small. My farm is very large, and all the medicinal herbs I grow need to be processed and then transported to the capital."
"Isn't that a bit too much?"
Shen Lu frowned slightly.
"Why do you think so?" Jiang Yi asked.
"Medicinal herbs can only be planted once a year, and some herbs take two to three years to mature. Before the harvest, the company will have nothing to do, yet the employees' salaries and various expenses cannot be reduced. This is a complete loss-making business!"
Shen Lu thought for a moment and continued, "Furthermore, after you process the medicinal herbs, you'll transport them back to the capital. This means the medicinal herb company will have no income whatsoever. You'll have to invest hundreds of millions into the company every year."
"You don't need to worry about that. Processing medicinal herbs is just one part of the company's business. In the future, the company can also develop some Chinese medicines to sell in Eagle Country. I am determined to promote traditional Chinese medicine!"
Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.
Hearing this, Shen Lu understood!
"It seems I misunderstood before!"
Shen Lu smiled slightly, "Your true purpose in starting this company isn't just to process medicinal herbs for Tiansheng Group, but to develop influence in the business world of Eagle Country."
"Mm!"
Jiang Yi nodded.
"I also have another goal, which is to deal with my uncle. My uncle has considerable influence in the business circles of Eagle Country, and dealing with him is not an easy task!" Jiang Yi said.
