Chapter 209: Continue to burn money
Bao Zhuoyuan didn't have a good time this Spring Festival, he and Feng Yiping, the young and excessive boss, although they hadn't met a few times before and after, but they were like New Year's friends, Feng Yiping trusted him very much, he also trusted Feng Yiping, and believed that Feng Yiping could lead the magazine to the step he described.
However, the magazine has already issued two issues, and also distributed two issues to those target customers, all of which add up to more than one million, although there is some progress, but compared to the investment, it is not worth mentioning.
And Bao Zhuoyuan also knows that these companies that are interested in the magazine are mainly interested in Feng Yiping's serialized blue ocean strategy, and if it were not supported by the serialized blue ocean strategy, it is estimated that the results would be even more dismal.
When he attended last year's year-end meeting, he learned about the situation of Jiasheng, a company like a magazine that invested a lot, lost money, and could not see any hope for the time being, except for him, there was no semicolon.
Something has to change, he thought.
So, when Feng Yiping was still sleeping soundly with Huang Jingping in his arms in the morning, he was woken up by the phone, and when he saw that it was Bao Zhuoyuan calling, he didn't have to sleep.
Huang Jingping hugged him and arched his chest a few times, Feng Yiping slapped her ass a few times, "I'm going to answer the phone,"
"Well, I'm going to prepare breakfast. ”
Feng Yiping went to the study and called Lao Bao with a fixed line, these days, mobile phone calls also cost money, and although Hong Kong has returned to the motherland for several years, the calls from Hong Kong are still international long-distance, not that they can't afford that money, they can't stand that slaughter.
"Mr. Bao, Happy New Year!" Feng Yiping told him in Cantonese.
"The New Year is a good one," Bao Zhuoyuan's Mandarin is still so difficult to understand, and after saying these words, he also changed to Cantonese.
"Yiping, as far as the situation of the second phase of the feedback back is not optimistic, I read the latest financial statements, I feel very stressed, thinking about it. I still want to increase the distribution in the local area and make some concessions to those publishers, after all, new magazines like ours are not allowed to sell at a lower price. Not accepting withdrawal, this condition is a bit harsh, you see?"
"Mr. Bao, I understand that you are thinking about me and the magazine. However, it is too early to talk about the second issue, and many of the magazines that have been sent out should not have been delivered yet, so there may be some good news in the next few days. ”
It's only the thirteenth today, and the magazines sent to Europe and the United States have definitely not been signed for yet.
"I know, but I'm flat. Judging from the reaction of local companies, we are still not optimistic, so I think it is imperative to change, and the sooner we change one day, the less we can lose. ”
Huang Jingping delivered a cup of hot milk to Feng Yiping, and made a lip gesture to him, "Drink it while it's hot,"
Feng Yiping took her hand. kissed it, "Mr. Bao, my previous thoughts were a little optimistic, but now." The time has not yet come to make the changes that you have mentioned, and I have always been convinced that, at the latest, after the release of our third issue, the situation will change dramatically.
Therefore, I still stick to my current approach. Either make it my goal or not, you know my original intention, I don't want to make a regional magazine that has no international influence and can only make a living, if it doesn't work, it will be a benevolent.
I think you should be prepared to burn money for the first three issues of the magazine, but on the bright side, we burn money like this, and compared to those Internet companies that are in crisis, it is nothing at all.
At the same time, I hope that you can convey my meaning to my colleagues in the magazine, and must inspire his confidence and enthusiasm, I personally thank them very much for their hard work, and I hope that everyone will continue to work hard to prepare the third issue of the magazine, the third issue of the magazine is very important, and I hope that the standard of this issue of the magazine is also the highest.
In this issue of the magazine, I still want to interfere, the focus of this issue is still on the Internet bubble, I conclude that in the middle of next month, the bubble will burst, please use this as a direction to organize a batch of high-level articles. ”
When Feng Yiping said these words, his tone was very firm, and Bao Zhuoyuan knew that there was no need to discuss it again, "That's okay, I will definitely do the work you explained, and at the same time, I have another suggestion, your blue ocean strategy, can you consider issuing it separately." ”
Bao Zhuoyuan is also thinking about him, the future of the magazine is uncertain, but Feng Yiping's monograph will definitely be popular.
However, Feng Yiping just wants to use these articles to attract target customers for the magazine, how can he give up at this time?
"By the way, Mr. Bao, I also want to trouble you to find me a few experienced people in the financial industry, in the first half of the year, I want to set up another investment company, the direction is global financial investment. ”
After the operation of this round of Internet bubble, Feng Yiping wants to let his own professionals continue to invest in crude oil futures, crude oil prices will continue to rise sharply this year, and hit the highest level in ten years in September, this is a long-term and meticulous work, he has no energy to keep paying attention.
"Okay, that's no problem," these are small things in terms of Bao Zhuoyuan's accumulated contacts in the magazine industry over the years.
"Are you going to the company today?" At the small dining table in the kitchen, Huang Jingping served Feng Yiping fragrant millet porridge.
"The work has been explained, and the company can take a look, but I have to go to school and deliver magazines to the teachers. ”
"Then I won't go with you, I'll clean up at home,"
"Okay, I'll clean you up when I come back in the evening!"
Huang Jingping gave him a blank look.
When I arrived at the head teacher's office, it was unfortunate that Gao Heng was still there, too, just started school, he had a lot of work to report, even if he didn't have a work report, he had to run diligently, who knows if he would be elected after the start of school.
"New magazine, right?" Mr. Chen took the initiative to take it, "You sit," and read it on the spot.
"Yiping, do you have anything else? give me a copy too," Gao Heng said to him with a smile.
"I'm sorry, I didn't bring much, but I gave it to the teachers along the way. Feng Yiping shrugged.
Please, I have to spend money on a magazine, how can I weigh a few catties of meat, why give it to you for nothing!
Mr. Chen watched it intently for about ten minutes, and sighed, "It's refreshing, Yiping, you really didn't consider releasing it separately?"
This is the second time someone has mentioned this topic to him today, "Mr. Chen, it must be released separately, but not now." ”
Teacher Chen understood his intentions, "It's okay, you're only in the first grade, and it's not too late to wait until the second grade to publish a book." ”
"Speaking of which, Mr. Chen, I have another idea I would like to discuss with you?"
"You say,"
"I wondered if I could set up a club similar to crowdfunding, and the students would join forces to do something, which could be regarded as applying what they had learned. Feng Yiping said, "Can the school approve such a club? As the initiator, can I be the president?"
If you can set up such a club as the president, you can easily tap some talents.
Gao Heng's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he rushed ahead of Teacher Chen and said, "The school's clubs can only be non-profit, and only second-year students can serve as presidents." ”
Of course Feng Yiping knew this, otherwise he asked Teacher Chen what he was doing, didn't he just want to see if he could be accommodating?
"Tell me, why do you have such an idea?" Mr. Chen asked him with a smile.
"All the clubs in the school are actually preparing us to go into the society and participate in the work in the future, so why not do something in one step and do something directly?
And I think that now we talk too much and do too little, and we may inevitably see the masters and the low in the future, so even if we partner to open a restaurant now, it is always doing some practical things, which is also a test of our own ability and knowledge, which in turn will promote our learning and discover our own shortcomings, so as to strengthen the targeting. ”
"Well," Teacher Chen nodded slightly, "That's it, you first follow the procedure, do the work to be done and hand it over to me, and I'll take the information and ask for it." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Chen!"
After Feng Yiping left, Gao Heng hurriedly ended the report, he felt that the idea proposed by Feng Yiping was very novel and had strong operability, and he was a little eager to try.
When I got home in the evening, there was an unexpected joy, as soon as I entered the door, Huang Jingping reported the good news, "My box was recovered, the airport notified me to pick it up in the afternoon, there are a lot of things, but," she dragged the boarding suitcase over, "The lever is broken, the wheel is broken, and they compensate me for a box of dozens of yuan." ”
Well, with the urine of airports and airlines, it's nice to be able to do that. (To be continued.) )
