Chapter 133: The Dilemma (9/10)
The baby swimming pool is different from the adult swimming pool, its pool is relatively small, after all, it is provided for the baby to flutter, and the water used will also strictly control its water quality, can not use circulating water, the temperature should be constant, and the warm warm water can make the baby play comfortably in it.
However, although Yang Yan was very interested, he couldn't take Luo Luo to try it these days, because at work, Yang Yan suddenly became busy.
The next day, Fang Hexu called Yang Yan over with an early phone call.
You must know that Yang Yan also went to the company yesterday, and there is generally no major event, and Fang Hexu will not bother Yang Yan, a purely technical partner, so rashly.
In this meeting, Lei Zhentian was also there, and it was a closed-door meeting of the three of their bosses.
"Yanzi, we have no money in our account. Fang Hexu briefly told Yang Yan about the dilemma they are currently facing.
"No money?" Yang Yan was a little surprised, "Didn't we say that our performance was good last month, and after deducting expenses, there was still a surplus?"
Thanks to the fact that there are no competitors yet, Fang Hexu's business is smooth, although in the first month, in order to open the market, they did spend a lot of money on full reductions and coupons.
But in the follow-up, with the cultivation of the habits of batches of customers, their normal business volume increased rapidly, and gradually turned losses into profits, although the temporary profits are not huge, but at least everyone sees hope!
By last month, the company finally began to make money, excluding employee salaries, venues, electricity bills, operations and other expenses, Lei Zhentian and their monthly financial report of the finance department, there is still a balance of more than 100,000, which is still the result of Fang Hexu's ambition and desperate expansion of the city's territory!
But why do you suddenly say that there is no money?
Yang Yan looked at Lei Zhentian in confusion.
Lei Zhentian smiled bitterly beside him at this moment, he nodded lightly with Yang Yan, and then turned the laptop in front of him and showed it to Yang Yan: "It's no money." ”
Yesterday evening, Fang Hexu took the "hype" plan they had made, and came to Lei Zhentian in a hurry to ask for money, but Lei Zhentian couldn't get the 200,000 yuan that Fang Hexu wanted, even if he used a small part of the short-lived turnover of running funds, Lei Zhentian couldn't fill such a big hole.
Yang Yan glanced at the report that Lei Zhentian showed him suspiciously.
Although Yang Yan is not majoring in finance, now that he has opened a company with a friend, he has learned financial things seriously, even if he is not proficient, he can read financial statements.
Even if he is a brother, the account must be calculated clearly, Yang Yan no longer cares about the company's operation, he has to read and review the financial report carefully every month.
So, now he just has a few glances and knows where last month's profit and this month's income have gone.
Fang Hexu used part of it, but the majority was occupied by Yang Yan's technical department!
"IBM Server ......" after a long string of model codes, is a staggering price of 400,000!
No wonder there is no money in the account, some time ago, Yang Yan and Li Peiyun made an assessment of the company's server, in order to cope with the growing business volume, in order to provide enough computing power for the operation of the platform, they decided to apply for a report to add an IBM server, which is commonly known as a minicomputer in the industry.
In fact, Yang Yan feels that this small computer is not enough, and in the future, the number of users will surge, and the computing volume of the platform will definitely grow exponentially, like other technology companies, they still need to continue to spend money to buy servers.
It is worth mentioning that buying a server is not a one-and-done one-and-done process, they also need to buy commercial database software provided by Oracle, as well as storage equipment provided by EMC, etc.
These "imported" things, burning money, are quite terrifying!
Of course, in terms of database, Yang Yan also considered whether to buy the products of Sister Xie's company, but for better compatibility and better computing performance, Yang Yan still chose the most commonly used "IOE" standard configuration.
Now is not the time to talk about how to burn money in the future, and found that it was the funds applied for by his technical department to make a report that emptied the money on the company's books, and Yang Yan scratched his head a little embarrassed.
However, he didn't back down, Yang Yan thought about it for a while, and patiently told Fang Hexu and Lei Zhentian that if they didn't add more servers, the company's existing servers might face the danger of bursting computing and crashing.
Fang Hexu and Lei Zhentian are also the same majors as Yang Yanxue, although their grades are very poor, they can still understand what Yang Yan said.
"Now this part of the money can't be saved, so what should we do?" Fang Hexu looked at Lei Zhentian and said solemnly, "Old Lei, the company is now in a period of rapid development, and we must seize every opportunity to ...... while there are no competitors yet."
It is impossible for Lei Zhentian to conjure money to Fang Hexu from the company's account out of thin air, but when Fang Hexu said this, his meaning is also obvious, now that the company needs money, this problem must be solved.
Startups like "Tao Takeaway" need new funds, and there are still ways to do so, but those 10,000 or 20,000 yuan are far from enough for Yang Yan and them to apply for financial assistance or seek government support for the school's start-up funds.
The best thing to do is to seek a first round of funding, or additional investment from the founders......
Lei Zhentian had been thinking about it all night yesterday, his prejudice against Fang Hexu had already disappeared, and seeing the rapid development of the company and the huge potential shown in the recent financial report, Lei Zhentian still had the idea of additional investment!
But this time is different from the one million at the beginning, Lei Zhentian's additional investment this time may have to inject more funds, and it is no longer a small fight!
In the same way, he is talking about business, and he can't talk about any classmates and brotherhood at this moment, and the money he chases and invests also needs to be rewarded accordingly!
......
How to distribute the shares of Yang Yan, Lei Zhentian, and Fang Hexu after that, only they know this question, after Yang Yan and the two buddies discussed, no one told the specific results.
However, after Yang Yan came out of the office, he was not in a hurry to go home.
He made some milk powder for Luoluo to drink, and then called Li Peiyun, and the two went into the office to discuss.
"Manager Li, I have a question I would like to ask. Yang Yan first talked about his concerns about the "burning money" situation of the company's servers in the future, and then asked, "Manager Li, you used to be the person who deducted the buckles, and it stands to reason that the pressure on the deductions in data storage and processing should be greater than ours, so how do the deductions deal with them? Are they also buying IBM and Oracle services?"
Although Yang Yan also interned at Senior Sister Xie's company that provided database services before, this level of database service is not on the same order of magnitude as the database, storage devices, servers, etc. with large computing power that Yang Yan needs.
Therefore, Yang Yan does not know enough in this regard.
Li Peiyun smiled and said: "Mr. Yang, the problem you are thinking about now, in fact, as early as two or three years ago, my online shopping father had realized that the huge cost of server purchase was a big burden for them or my old employer. ”
"Therefore, the online shopping father set up a team called Feitian at that time, specializing in the new system of big data processing and cloud computing, and my old employer also got some news, and only set up our team of buckle cloud last year......" Li Peiyun carefully chatted with Yang Yan about this little-known story.
