Starting a business was not an easy task.
Surveys showed that the failure rate of new entrepreneurs in the technology/internet industry had exceeded 90%.
Among the remaining few successful entrepreneurs, their greatest desire for success was not to expand the company's scale or to generate considerable revenue, but to be acquired by a large company and achieve financial freedom.
This was not because they were short-sighted, but rather, being acquired was the wisest and best choice.
Especially in the internet industry, your ideas are easily copied, and your products are easily plagiarized. In terms of funds, you can't compete with the big companies. Once the big companies compete, your market share will be nibbled away in a short period of time.
In the internet industry, where the strong grew stronger and the big grew bigger, if the small fish did not want to be swallowed by the big fish, it would be better to actively become nutrients and become a part of the big fish.
Of course, Liu Xiaoping did not think that far ahead. He only wanted to do the things at hand well.
To expand "Ningshuang Studio."
It had been three months.
It had been three months since he joined Xu Ningshuang's studio.
Now, he was most grateful that the studio had not closed down.
Or rather, miraculously, it had not closed down.
Xu Ningshuang's actions made him think, If this woman can succeed in her business, I will chop off my own head.
He had tried to stop her countless times or argued with her in private, but he could not change her stubborn ways.
If it was not for his goddess, Ren Jiaojiao, he swore he would not have entered such a studio.
Squandering.
What a squanderer!
Although "Ningshuang Studio" was a small studio with only four employees, the office space was not a small room of only 30 square meters with a monthly rent of a few hundred dollars. It was a 160-square-meter office space on the 38th floor of an office building in the central CBD area of Tianfu City.
Working here, one had a wide field of vision and beautiful scenery. The skyline of Tianfu City was pleasing to the eye.
But the rent was $18,000 a month!
For the sake of work and living, Xu Ningshuang bought a few European sofas in addition to a high-end computer, spending more than $50,000.
A high-end version of the Wa-wah 2.3 robot, bought.
A deluxe version of the Bang Bang robot, bought.
A coffee machine that cost a few thousand dollars, bought.
Top-grade coffee beans that cost more than a thousand dollars per catty, bought.
Including office equipment, kitchen equipment, and so on, the total cost was more than $300,000.
In the future, he also planned to buy a massage chair and a treadmill for blood circulation and fitness. He also planned to buy a good car so that it would be convenient for him to go out and do business instead of always renting a car … Liu Xiaoping believed that the prodigal woman would definitely buy it.
All in all, Liu Xiaoping had nothing to say to this prodigal woman.
Speaking of which, with Xu Ningshuang's wasteful spending, would the studio be able to sustain its profits?
In fact, although the studio had only been established for three months, it had already accepted more than 20 projects. There was something to do almost every day.
Occasionally, when he was busy, he had to work overtime until eight or nine o 'clock at night.
There were many different kinds of projects.
There was an app for ordering food for restaurants.
There was a task management app made by enterprises.
There were also some small programs in WeChat.
The average fee for each project ranged from 20,000 to 80,000, and the total revenue was 580,000.
Two of the projects received two "encouragement awards" after they were uploaded to the Star Cloud application store. Xing Hai Technologies awarded them a total of $100,000.
Three months after the studio was established, it had earned 680,000 yuan.
But such a huge sum of money was mostly squandered by that prodigal woman!
Liu Xiaoping still wanted to complain, but he gradually realized that it was precisely because of the comfortable environment of the studio that his work efficiency had increased. Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window and looking at the city skyline, he was in a good mood every day. His chest was filled with lofty sentiments and his whole body was filled with motivation.
Moreover, the environment of the studio was so good. Every time Xu Ningshuang brought clients over to visit, the voices of the clients haggling became softer. The success rate of signing a contract was very high.
And with the increasing number of people using the Star Cloud mobile phone, the market share of the Star Cloud system would increase. It was foreseeable that Ningshuang Studio would have more business in the future. There was no need to worry about not being able to sustain it.
As long as the prodigal woman's speed of squandering was slower, it would not be a problem to earn two or three million a year.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a scream rang in his ear.
Liu Xiaoping, who was immersed in his project, was startled.
He turned his head and glared at Xu Ningshuang. "What are you screaming for?"
"We won the prize! Our project won the million dollar prize! Yay yay! That's great, that's great! "Xu Ningshuang suddenly danced with joy and laughed maniacally.
"Are you serious? Which project did we win the prize? "
Liu Xiaoping hurriedly asked. He was no stranger to winning the prize. Anything that received a prize from Xing Hai Technologies was called a "winner." Winning 50,000 was called a small prize, and winning a million was called a big prize.
They had already won two small prizes. This time, they actually won the big prize.
"Sister Xu, which project did we win the prize for?" Song Xiaoling and Ren Jiaojiao left their seats and surrounded Xu Ningshuang.
"It's the 'Tree of Baby's Time' project that we made ourselves. This app has been downloaded more than 100,000 times. The user ratings are very high. Xing Hai Technologies has decided to give us the big prize."
Ningshuang Studio not only took on external projects, but also made their own products.
"Tree of Baby's Time" was an app that the four of them made when they were not busy in the early stages of the studio. It was an app that recorded the growth of the baby. They could put some pictures of the baby on the Tree of Baby's Time, write some words, and play some short videos to record the baby's growth and capture the funny and warm moments.
Moreover, this app had a social function. The moms could share each other's Tree of Baby's Time, add each other as friends, and discuss the education and cultivation of their children.
In fact, this kind of app was not uncommon. It was not a completely new idea either. But because they put a lot of effort into it, the art style was simple and beautiful. The built-in social function allowed moms nearby to greet and communicate with each other, expanding their social circle.
The users were quite impressive.
Hence, they won the million dollar prize from Xing Hai Technologies.
Very soon, the million dollar cash was transferred into the studio's account. Xu Ningshuang waved her hand and said, "Come, let's go down and have a feast! Let's celebrate! "
"Let's have a feast!"
The four of them put down what they were doing and went downstairs. They found a high-end seafood restaurant, ordered a table full of dishes, and ate to their hearts' content.
Xu Ningshuang looked at her phone and said with a look of longing, "'Tree of Baby's Time' has just won the award. I've seen many messages from the bosses who sell diapers and milk powder in the background. They want to collaborate with us to promote their products. So, we can create a 'Baby Mall' function and add some high-quality baby products to it. We can earn more money from it."
She said boldly, "I've said it before. There are two types of people in this world that are the easiest to earn money from: women and children. But a certain someone didn't believe me and thought that this project wouldn't work. Now, tell me, will this project work?"
She looked at Liu Xiaoping with disdain. When she first decided to work on this project, this guy opposed it a lot.
Liu Xiaoping nodded. "You're right. At first, I thought that there was nothing new about this project and that no one would download it. But in the end, you were proven right. I'm convinced."
"Hmph!"
Xu Ningshuang said proudly, "If the product is good, there will naturally be people who will appreciate it. Gold will shine sooner or later. With just this project alone, as long as our service can keep up and we can capture the hearts of the majority of users, it will be very easy to earn five million a year in the future."
"Wow, five million?" Song Xiaoling exclaimed. She had never heard of so much money before.
Looking at Sister Xu's confident look, it might really be possible.
Liu Xiaoping was even more convinced. In terms of technology, he was much better than Xu Ningshuang, but in terms of product design and marketing, Xu Ningshuang was simply beating him up.
"I'm sorry, I have something to do. I'll go out first. You guys continue eating."
At this moment, Ren Jiaojiao suddenly said goodbye after receiving a call.
"Go ahead," Xu Ningshuang said.
Ren Jiaojiao picked up her bag from the chair and left the private room.
Liu Xiaoping watched her leave. Suddenly, his eyes widened.
After Ren Jiaojiao walked out of the restaurant, a tall and handsome man stood outside waiting for her with a rose in his hand. There was also a red sports car parked beside the man.
Ren Jiaojiao was very happy to see the man. She accepted the flower and got into the sports car.
Liu Xiaoping's heart fell into a bottomless abyss. He recognized that man. He was the studio's biggest client. He had asked them to do five projects in succession. Only now did he realize that the guy had an ulterior motive in his dreams.
The CBD was too prosperous. There were too many rich people. There were many young masters and young masters. It was hard for Ren Jiaojiao not to be moved when she met someone with suitable conditions.
Bitterness.
Incomparable bitterness in his mouth.
"Waiter, wine!"
Liu Xiaoping asked the waiter to bring the wine and drank one glass after another.
He drank until he was dizzy. He just wanted to get drunk.
But after drinking more than ten glasses, Xu Ningshuang snatched his glass and directly dragged him out.
"Isn't it just a woman? Ren Jiaojiao doesn't like you because she has no taste. Why do you care so much about someone who doesn't like you?
"I joined your studio because of her. Do you think I wanted to work for you? Now that she's been taken, it's time for me to leave."
"Then what do you want to do?"
"Resign! I want to go to a place where I can find a wife. "
"Pa!"
Xu Ningshuang slapped his face. "Is that all you've got? You're working just to find a wife?"
"It's none of your business. Anyway, I'm quitting. I'm quitting now." Liu Xiaoping pushed her away and turned to leave.
"Wait!"
Xu Ningshuang grabbed him. "Don't you just want to find a partner? Fine, I'll be your partner, okay?" Ren Jiaojiao got into the tall, rich, and handsome luxury car. Song Xiaoling had a boyfriend. In order to keep this general, Xu Ningshuang found that she could only do it herself.
But for some reason, after saying this, her face was slightly hot.
"What?"
Liu Xiaoping looked at her in surprise. "You want to be my partner? Really? "He fixed his eyes on her and suddenly felt that Xu Ningshuang was more pleasing to look at.
"Really, really, as long as you stay." Xu Ningshuang nodded and coaxed him.
"No! You're too much of a prodigal, unless you get rid of your prodigal habits. "
"Okay, okay, I won't be so prodigal in the future."
"That's more like it …"
After the aftereffects of the wine kicked in, Liu Xiaoping felt his vision getting blurry. His body fell down and lay in a soft place.
