Chapter 211: There is a bit of pressure on funds
The time quickly came to June, and Liu Yueru needed to go back to school to prepare for her graduation defense. Liu Yun as the boss, under the guidance of his "goodwill", Liu Yueru spent some money to find a gunman to write the paper on his behalf, just like Liu Yun in his previous life.
Although she didn't have to rack her brains and spend countless hours writing a thesis in person, she still had time to review and prepare, and if she was not familiar with this graduation thesis, it would be really embarrassing to ask three questions when she defended it.
During this period, because Liu Yueru was going back to school for a few days, Liu Yun went to the company more often than usual. He had a private agreement with Qin Donglai, vice president of Ningjiang University, that he would try to give him the green light in terms of leave.
Liu Yun, accompanied by two middle-level cadres, Zhu Xiaoli, director of the office, and Zhang Lili, director of the finance department, came to the seventeenth floor of Zhonglang Building. This floor was just rented by Yoyo Network more than two months ago, and now it is in the stage of intense renovation.
"My plan is to put the entire World of Warcraft operations team on the sixteenth floor, and several of your departments will move to the seventeenth floor by then. Liu Yun's heart is a little partial to the number sixteen. As for the reason, his soul crossed time and space from 2018 to 2002, which is also sixteen years.
The two female supervisors glanced at each other a little helplessly, not long after they moved to the fifteenth floor, they had to move again, but since the boss spoke, they could only obey as subordinates.
Zhu Xiaoli pointed to the huge empty room being renovated in front of her, and said: "Boss, the decoration of this floor of the office building can be completed at the end of the month, and I plan to move in in mid-July, do you think this is okay?"
Liu Yun nodded and said: "Yes, when the time comes, find some professional moving companies to come over, this money does not need to be saved, and the efficiency must be fast." By the way, have you chosen all the office supplies?"
Zhu Xiaoli replied: "It's all chosen, as long as the decoration is done, it will be purchased immediately." All the products were decided by me, Director Zhang Lili, and Director Liu. We are also a regular customer of the supplier, and we have given the greatest discount on the price. ”
Liu Yun shifted his gaze, looked at Zhang Lili and said, "What is the current financial situation of the company?"
Zhang Lili stroked a trace of her hair and replied: "Before June, the company has been profitable, with a monthly profit of almost more than 1.2 million yuan, which includes the boss's Internet café in Haihua Square in the university town in addition to advertising revenue. ”
Liu Yun knows that the Internet café in Haihua Plaza has been incorporated into the system of Yoyo Network in the financial listing, and the finance of YOYO milk tea is independent.
"But in June, there will be a big expense, which is the agency fee paid to Blizzard for the first quarter, which is $2 million. Zhang Lili continued, "There is also a plan to launch the promotion of World of Warcraft in early September this year, and the financial budget is to invest more than 300 yuan per month in promotion fees before the open beta. Based on the company's current revenue situation, from July until the official commercial operation of "World of Warcraft" next year, our Yoyo network will be in a state of loss. ”
Liu Yun sighed secretly, he was going to be in a state of loss for nearly a year. He didn't want to do this in his heart, but he didn't have a better choice. He wished that World of Warcraft would be online tomorrow and that he could lie down and count the money, but he knew that if he did, it would be no different from looking for death.
For a game to be successful, a lot of preparation will be done before it is officially launched. For example, the famous Blizzard, they also have a nickname called the king of bounced tickets.
"The company has more than 800 US dollars and more than 1,000 yuan in deposits, if you don't finance or borrow, it shouldn't be much of a problem to stick to June next year. Liu Yun asked with a frown. He also took this issue into account, so when negotiating with Blizzard, he reduced the agency fee for the first year and increased the agency fee for the remaining years.
He understands that as long as he waits for World of Warcraft to officially operate. Yoyo Network will have a huge cash cow. At that point, will money still be an issue?
Zhang Lili smiled mysteriously and said, "If the cost of expenditure can be reasonably controlled, the problem is not big." Let alone...... , Liu always has good news, you may not know it yet!"
Liu Yun looked at her mysteriously, and suddenly became interested, and asked, "What's the good news, I see that you are in a good mood." Since you are in charge of finances, it should be inseparable from money. ”
Zhang Lili replied: "The boss is smart, and it is naturally related to money that can make me happy as a financial steward." A few days ago, Director Liu and I went to the Ningjiang Municipal Government. Recently, the Ningjiang municipal government has been supporting emerging industries such as Internet companies. It is almost a certainty that we will apply for a grant online. ”
"Really, that's great!" Liu Yun said with an eyebrow raised. He heard his cousin Liu Yueru say that she had been fighting for the funds, but he didn't expect it to be approved so quickly.
Zhu Xiaoli interjected and smiled: "Actually, there are two important reasons why it can be approved so quickly this time. 1. We won the agency of World of Warcraft, which is quite a sensational event, and the impact is not limited to the Internet. 2. Not long ago, after the matter of Yang Zhicheng's righteous and courageous actions was published in the newspaper, it also greatly improved the positive image of our company. Under the influence of these two events, the grant was quickly approved. ”
Liu Yun nodded with satisfaction: "How much money do you have?"
Zhang Lili replied: "About 5 million yuan." ”
Liu Yun pursed his lips a little disdainfully and said, "Less." "But it's better than nothing, and this money could go a long way in easing the company's financial pressure in the coming year.
Zhang Lili and Zhu Xiaoli glanced at each other helplessly, "Less?" Their boss is really not easy to satisfy.
Liu Yun walked back and forth, thought for a while, and said, "After Director Liu comes back, a few of you will go to the city government to ask if you can ask the bank to provide a loan." It's best to be interest-free, since we are an emerging industry, there should be such preferential policies. ”
The two female supervisors looked at Liu Yun as a matter of course, and they couldn't help but be stunned in their hearts, and at the same time a thought flashed: This boss is really shameless. ”
Liu Yun looked at the expressions of these two people, and naturally guessed what they were thinking. In fact, he knows better than them that interest-free loans are very difficult to approve.
He made such a sky-high price so that he could bargain on the ground in the future. If there is really no chance of an interest-free loan, a low-interest loan is fine, and his current funding gap is not large, not to mention that he still has a few cards in his hand that have not been played.
