Chapter 174: Entering Beijing to Start a Business
"Don't be so noble, at best, it's just a thief. Wang Zijie teased, "The reason why you are so conscious is only because you have money." If you want me to say, you Lao Zhou is the real old revolutionary, and it is really not easy to guard such a big stall and not reach in. ”
Tang Zifeng said: "That's right. Lao Zhou, when he was in the mechanical and electrical department, he had a good reputation, and at that time I thought it was because he didn't have a chance to make money. But after arriving at the Linyi machine, he has a lot of opportunities to make money in his pocket, but he can still keep his heart, which is not easy.
"To be honest, I'm still cautious in front of him now, not because I'm afraid of his official authority, but because I think this person's character is too valuable and worthy of my respect. ”
In fact, there are a few such people everywhere, standing in front of these people, and they feel uneasy in conscience if they want to do something bad. Wang Zijie also sighed.
Tang Zifeng said: "Yes, in the past few months of working with Lao Zhou, I feel that I have regained my long-lost party spirit. ”
"Are you a party member?" Wang Zijie said in surprise.
"No, it's not. Tang Zifeng said confidently.
“......”
"It doesn't matter. Tang Zifeng waved his hand, and immediately changed to a pig's head, and asked eagerly: "Old Seven, how is the sales of 'Wusan', how can we make this year?"
"Can't you be noble for a few more minutes?" Wang Zijie said in amazement. Tang Zifeng's face changed too quickly, just now he was still a mouthful of his heart and character, how could he talk about this in a blink of an eye?
"The condensed version sold before the college entrance examination is mostly 40,000 sets, and one set earns 10 yuan, a total of 400,000. Because this batch of condensed editions was distributed in various places, it brought the reputation of the official edition, and now Xinhua bookstores everywhere are asking us to subscribe to the official edition. Before I left the capital, I had received 400,000 orders, and there was no suspense about finally reaching 1 million sets. According to you, a set is priced at 100 yuan, let's ship it at a 50% discount, deducting the cost, and a set earns 25 yuan, and a total of at least 25 million. Wang Zijie said in high spirits.
"The base is still too small. Tang Zifeng sighed. At present, less than 3 million people take the college entrance examination in the next year, unlike the tens of millions of applicants for the college entrance examination in later generations. However, there are also pros and cons to things, there are many people in the college entrance examination in later generations, and there are many people who do college entrance examination business, which is like now, a good idea can monopolize the entire market.
"The content of the book needs to be improved, and the company wants to set up a research institute to study how to improve the book. I estimate that after we sell well this year, there should be books on the market to follow the trend, just like the machine tools we produce. We can only maintain our market share by constantly maintaining technological leadership. Tang Zifeng explained.
Wang Zijie said: "I have already arranged for someone to handle this matter. After the summer vacation, I think it is time for our company to hire a group of permanent employees to do the research work. By the way, last time, in order to tutor your sister, we engaged in a 'one-to-one' tutoring model, and as a result, several students who participated in the tutoring were inspired to set up a college entrance examination tutoring agency to provide this kind of 'one-to-one' tutoring. ”
"That's good!" Tang Zifeng said with a smile, "Who are the people who are so business-minded? You didn't recruit them to the company?"
Wang Zijie said: "They want to do it themselves, but they don't have any money at the moment, and they want to join forces with our company. ”
Tang Zifeng said: "You talk to them and see if they have the ability to execute." If there is execution, we can also make some money, just take up seventy or eighty percent of the shares. ”
"Seventy or eighty percent of the shares?" Wang Zijie grinned, "People said that they would give us 49% at most, and they would control it." ”
Tang Zifeng asked, "How much do they want us to invest?"
"200,000. Wang Zijie said.
Tang Zifeng nodded: "If it's only 200,000, accounting for 49% of the equity is not a loss." This kind of investment can be regarded as venture capital, in case they can do it, college entrance examination tutoring is a big market. By the way, you tell them that they should not just focus on college entrance examination tutoring, and they can engage in this kind of 'one-on-one' from kindergarten. To be ruthless, in the future, we can also increase the bar examination, public examination, postgraduate examination, examination and so on, let's have a comprehensive solution. ”
"Uh-huh, that's a good idea, I'll go back and talk to them. Wang Zijie said seriously. In terms of management, he thinks that he is not as good as Tang Zifeng, so he will implement any opinions put forward by Tang Zifeng to the letter.
"In the future, the company will follow this routine, and when it sees a promising project, it will invest some money and provide some support, and if it can be done, it will be a profitable thing." Lijia supermarket on this side of the river is very popular now, according to Huang Liting's estimates, there should be no problem with a net profit of 2 million in a year. Tang Zifeng said.
Wang Zijie praised: "You still have the vision, and you can find such a business genius in a bunch of workers' families." The last time I talked to Huang Liting, I felt that this woman is not simple, and our investment can be regarded as earning. ”
Tang Zifeng smiled: "This is just the beginning. Huang Liting talked to me and said that she wanted to make persistent efforts and go to Nanwu to open a Lijia branch in the second half of the year, and strive to be able to leave the province next year. According to this momentum, it is not surprising that Lijia Supermarket will make a profit of 100 million within five years, but we have half of the equity. ”
"So, we really don't have to worry about carving up the plane. Wang Zijie joked with a smile. Previously, Tang Zifeng said that if he bought Linyi Machine, he would be able to get more than 300 million profits just by selling land, Wang Zijie still thought it was an astronomical number, but now that he thinks about it, it seems that 300 million is not a big number.
"No, just a little money, it's really not in my brother's eyes. Tang Zifeng said dryly.
After chatting about business, the two turned the topic to their respective development aspects. Wang Zijie frowned and said: "Old eight, I'm wondering, when the sales of 'May Three' come to an end, should I find someone else to manage the company's daily affairs." I also have to write some articles, and I will evaluate the lecturers first, and then there will be associate professors and professors or something. After all, I'm going to mess around in school, and I can't get along without a title. ”
Tang Zifeng nodded and said, "I think so too." Now we are not short of money, we have to think about personal status. I definitely can't do academics, you are really mixed in the academic circle, maybe you can become a well-known domestic scholar or something in 20 years, maybe you can also provide some shade for the company. ”
Wang Zijie said to himself: "Forget about well-known scholars, I will be content to be a professor." You don't know, the academic circle is not easy to mix now, and you have to fill out a lot of forms to apply for a project, and toss it for a month, which is just 50,000 yuan. ”
Tang Zifeng smiled and said, "Old Seven, you are in this phase." Do you still need to apply for a project now? Fifty thousand yuan, can't you just pay for it yourself? I've heard people say that the reason why some scholars are good is because they have the funds in hand, they can do some big research projects, and then with the data, they can publish very good articles.
"When the company makes money, you take one or two million, and you do a few big surveys, and then hire a bunch of graduate students to write articles for you, you are the first author, and they are the second author. If you post one hundred and eighty articles, I don't believe that you can't be a well-known scholar. ”
"Is this okay?" Wang Zijie was stunned. He carefully thought about it in his heart, and found that Tang Zifeng's suggestion was really not nonsense.
There are a few teachers in his department who have very good ideas, but they can't find the funds to do research. If he can provide funds to these teachers, then the research results will be shared by everyone, the articles will take turns to belong to the name, and there will be twenty or thirty core journal papers a year, which is really not difficult.
Nowadays, when schools evaluate job titles, what they look at is the number of articles. If he can really have twenty or thirty core results a year, it is not a fantasy to be rated as a professor within ten years. At that time, a 35-year-old full professor will have a thesis, and it will be difficult to think about it in the academic circle.
As for the cost of this, it can only be regarded as trivial. The research of liberal arts does not cost much, and if you do a national survey, there will be three or five hundred thousand yuan, and the data obtained can be put in eighteen ways to publish articles. In academic circles, it is not uncommon for scholars to spend their lives on the data of a survey.
So, three and a half million, can it be counted as money?
Wang Zijie thought proudly in his heart.
"But, old eight, if I go to do academics, what will the company do? I said that I want to invite someone to do management, but the people invited are really not reassuring. The secrets of our company are actually the tricks you came up with, in case the professional managers we invited have any crooked thoughts and steal our know-how to do it ourselves, we will have nothing. Wang Zijie said worriedly.
Tang Zifeng thought about it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "I have an idea, how about getting your parents and my parents to go to the capital to be professional managers?"
"My parents?" Wang Zijie said in surprise, "My parents are both farmers in the countryside, how do they know how to manage?"
Tang Zifeng said: "Where are my parents not rural farmers? In fact, we don't need them to do any management, as long as they can squat in the company." The company's business, you arrange it, let them execute it, they can still do it. My dad also had a small business with people, and his brain is quite smart. ”
Wang Zijie also came back to his senses, and he said: "You are right. My dad also did a small business, and the people on our side were more or less business-minded. I arranged everything and let them stay in the company, it should be no problem. ”
"That's it. Tang Zifeng said, "After you go back, first go find a better community, look for a few houses, buy them directly, and then let our parents go to Beijing." Anyway, when they get old in the future, they will definitely have to live with us, and while they are only in their 40s, they will have the right to start a business in Beijing. ”
"Okay, that's on me. Wang Zijie responded.
