In the past two years, the company's business scale has been expanding, and the number of permanent employees has increased to more than 200, with special planning department, sales department, editorial department, art department and other departments. With more people and more fame, the company naturally can't continue to nest in an urban-rural junction like Liulangzhuang. Last year, the company officially moved out of Liulangzhuang and rented a whole floor in a rather high-grade office building on Zhichun Road, with more than 2,000 square meters, which looks like a bit of a large company.

Tang Zifeng took the elevator to the floor where the company was located, took out the door control card and swiped the door of the company, and the little girl at the front desk had already trotted up to greet him: "Mr. Tang, are you here?" Mr. Tang went home, Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang are here, do you want me to inform you." ”

Tang Zifeng was originally called Mr. Tang in the company, but since he asked his father Tang Lin to come to the company as chairman and deputy general manager, the title of "Mr. Tang" belongs to Tang Lin, and he can only be called "Mr. Tang", which is also a common situation in many family businesses. As for Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang, the latter refers to Tang Zifeng's classmate and collaborator Wang Zijie, and the former is Wang Zijie's father Wang Chongshou.

Wang Zijie has recently changed his mind and is ready to attack the title of professor. Tang Zifeng has also entered the role in Linyiji, and he rarely has time to pay attention to his company. At present, the day-to-day management of the company is in charge of Tang Lin and Wang Chongshou, both of whom are farmers, and it is actually a bit difficult to manage Feihai Company, a company whose main business is publishing.

Fortunately, Tang Zifeng and Wang Zijie have paved the way for the company in the early stage, and several employees who participated in the company's operation in the early stage have now grown up and can take charge of themselves. The two old men only need to be the mouthpiece of their son, and keep an eye on the company's finances every day, so as not to damage the public and private interests of outsiders, and they are completely capable of doing these things.

Tang Zifeng didn't come to the company many times, but the little girl at the front desk knew that he and "Mr. Wang" were the real bosses of the company, and Mr. Tang and Mr. Wang were just puppets. are also CEOs, which boss should be more attentive, the little girl is clear.

"No, I'll just go over myself. Tang Zifeng declined the little girl's kindness, and then praised it in a leading manner: "Xiao Liu, your mental state is good, you have to continue to maintain it." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Tang. The little girl smiled sweetly, revealing her four front teeth.

Tang Zifeng first went to Wang Chongshou's office, sent him a box of pine nut crisp brought back from Teng Village, and laughed with him for a few words, before saying goodbye and coming to Wang Zijie's office.

In Wang Zijie's office, in addition to Wang Zijie, there are two other young people, who look like they are 23 or 4 years old, and they still have some childishness on campus. Seeing Tang Zifeng push the door in, Wang Zijie sat behind the desk and just smiled, but the two young people got up from the sofa in unison and bowed slightly to Tang Zifeng, one of them moved his lips, as if he wanted to say hello to Tang Zifeng, but he was afraid of calling the wrong person.

"This is Mr. Tang. Wang Zijie introduced them.

"Tang is always good!" the two of them greeted Tang Zifeng in unison.

"Sit down. Tang Zifeng waved his hand to the two, and then sat down on a chair opposite them.

The two young men also sat down. Wang Zijie continued to introduce: "Zifeng, this is Guo Xiaoyu, that is Zhang Jin, I told you on the phone, I heard that you came over today, so I asked them to come." ”

Tang Zifeng smiled at the two and said: "Hello two, although it was three years ago, I still have to thank you, without your guidance, my sister would not have been able to get into the key points." ”

"Mr. Tang is too polite, this is what we should do!" the one named Guo Xiaoyu hurriedly said politely.

"Yes, the main reason is that Tang has a good foundation, and we haven't done anything. Zhang Jin also said.

Three years ago, Tang Zifeng's sister Tang Ziyan faced the college entrance examination. Considering the poor quality of teaching in the middle school in his hometown, Tang Zifeng brought Tang Ziyan to the capital and asked Wang Zijie to help him find a few high-talent students from Qingbei to tutor Tang Ziyan one-on-one. Under their guidance, Tang Zifeng's grades improved rapidly, and he was admitted to the Department of Self-Control of Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

Tang Zifeng was very generous in this matter, and the remuneration for several tutors was settled by the hour, and each of them got several thousand yuan, which was a very luxurious extra money for college students back then.

Guo Xiaoyu and Zhang Jin are the two students who tutored Tang Ziyan at the beginning. Guo Xiaoyu studied at Peking University and Zhang Jin studied at Tsinghua University, both of whom are dragons and phoenixes. While other students were paid to eat big meals and buy luxury goods, the two were inspired to start a business on campus and set up a training institution that specializes in providing "one-on-one" tutoring for college entrance examination students.

At the beginning of Guo Xiaoyu and Zhang Jin's business, they only had a few thousand yuan paid by Tang Zifeng, and it was obviously not enough to rent venues and advertise. So, the two found Wang Zijie and proposed to cooperate with Feihai Company.

After Wang Zijie asked Tang Zifeng, he agreed to the cooperation request of the two, and Feihai Company invested 200,000 yuan to obtain 40% of the equity of the training institution.

The reason why Tang Zifeng agreed to cooperate with Guo and Zhang was that he knew that this kind of "one-to-one" training institution had developed well in later generations, and it was one of the businesses that made money faster than grabbing money. He didn't know if he could succeed in starting such a business now, but since the other party didn't want much investment, there was no need for him to refuse.

This kind of investment is completely risky investment, and if you make a mistake, the loss is only 200,000, and Tang can afford to lose. And if it succeeds, the income will be ten times or even a hundred times, so why not do it? If nothing else, just Chong Guo and Zhang's academic qualifications, and take them out is worth 200,000 yuan.

Because it was not a big investment in the first place, Tang Zifeng forgot about this after explaining to Wang Zijie, and he has never asked about it in the past few years, let alone met Guo and Zhang in person. At the beginning of this year, when Tang Zifeng looked at the company's statements, he unexpectedly found that a company named "Sierxue" had handed over a dividend of 100,000 yuan to Feihai Company. This time, he specially explained to Wang Zijie and invited Guo and Zhang to the company, and he wanted to meet and talk to each other.

From Wang Zijie, Tang Zifeng knew that Guo and Zhang's entrepreneurial journey was quite difficult, and they paid a lot of price. Both of them are college students, usually have a heavy academic burden, in order to start a business, the two of them have not skipped class, it is said that each of them has failed five or six courses. Graduation is imminent, Guo Xiaoyu's degree is no longer guaranteed, and it is good to be able to get a graduation certificate.

Last year, the turnover of the company reached 1.5 million yuan, and the net profit reached more than 400,000 yuan after deducting the cost of rent and teachers' salaries. After the two consulted Wang Zijie, they decided to take out 250,000 yuan for dividends, and Feihai Company accounted for 40% of the equity, so they received a dividend of 100,000 yuan.

100,000 yuan is almost insignificant for Feihai Company. Wang Zijie previously said that there is no need for dividends for the time being, and the money can be left for Sierxue Company as an investment in expanding reproduction. But Guo Xiaoyu resolutely said that he took the investment of Feihai Company and had not paid dividends to the company for several years, so it was easy to be gossiped. Since the company has made more profits this year, it is also appropriate to share a bonus.

"Xiaoyu, I heard Zijie say, you even lost your degree in order to run a company, isn't this a bit worth the loss?" Tang Zifeng looked at Guo Xiaoyu and asked.

Guo Xiaoyu smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "It's me who is careless, I don't think the pressure of college is as great as that of high school, just work hard before the exam." Who knows that there are a few subjects where the teacher has a very biased question, usually does not listen to the class, and does not know what the question means at all, and hangs up without paying attention. Our school stipulates that there will be no place for five make-up exams, and by the time I realized it, it was too late. ”

"What about you?" Tang Zifeng asked Zhang Jin again.

Zhang Jin smiled and said: "I'm a little luckier than Xiaoyu, I have a few final exams that have failed, but I usually have a high score in my grades, and I pass on average, but my credit scores are definitely at the bottom of the class, and I am usually embarrassed to meet people." ”

"You're about to graduate, do you plan to continue running this company after graduation?" asked Tang Zifeng.

Guo Xiaoyu said: "That's for sure. In fact, when Zhang Jin and I first set up this company, we had already thought about it, even if this company was not completed, the two of us would definitely have to go to the sea in the future, and we didn't want to live that kind of 9-to-5 life. ”

"Actually, being a company is a good choice. Tang Zifeng said, "The direction you have chosen is very good, Chinese parents are willing to spend money on their children's education, as long as you can provide first-class services, you don't have to worry about making money." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Tang, for your encouragement. The two of them answered in unison.

Everyone gossiped for a while, Tang Zifeng changed his words and asked the two: "Xiao Guo, Xiao Zhang, I want to ask, in addition to doing college entrance examination counseling, have you ever thought about doing other training?"

"What does Mr. Tang mean by other training?" Guo Xiaoyu looked at Tang Zifeng and asked.

With Guo Xiaoyu and Zhang Jin's cleverness, they had already guessed that Tang Zifeng had specially asked them over, definitely not to chat with them, but to have other things. However, before Tang Zifeng mentioned it, neither of them would take the initiative to ask, this was a matter of negotiation skills, and the two had already discussed it before going out. Now, Tang Zifeng has finally turned to the topic, Guo Xiaoyu's heart is beating with criticism, but the expression on his face is very calm.
