Chapter 051: Business Development
After the lecture, the telephone and on-site registration and payment work of the new era lasted for another ten days, and the first phase of registration came to an end and the class officially started.
By the end of the course, the total number of students who paid for the fee had indeed exceeded the 500 mark.
In fact, on the morning of the third day of the seminar, the number of people who paid the fee exceeded 500.
At last count, the total number of people reached 687.
Since this is the first phase of the school, the class classification and teaching materials are still very simple.
The subject classification is temporarily divided into three types: the cheapest intensive English knowledge class, which is not for the purpose of exams, but only improves the ability of spoken English grammar; the sprint class for going abroad, which aims to go abroad for targeted training; and the most expensive one-stop service class, the cram school has a special teacher to run the process, and you can do it on behalf of you if you don't have to go in person.
According to statistics, the most expensive one-stop and the cheapest intensive class have the largest number of applicants, accounting for more than 80% of the total.
In terms of textbooks, a temporary compilation of college English textbooks, past examination papers and teachers' personal experience has been compiled.
It hasn't been compiled yet, according to Liang Yifei's meaning, the textbooks can be adjusted while the class is in progress, you don't have to wait until everything is ready, it doesn't matter if you're in a hurry, the busier you are, the more efficient you are.
The teacher's class fee has risen to 45 yuan a class, and there are related subsidies, calculated that when I first taught a class of 35 yuan, it was actually equivalent to 50 yuan a class.
That's more money than just the cost of substitute teaching.
Not to mention the teacher, even the doorman Lao Niu of the textile factory has increased his salary, in addition to covering his water and electricity bills a month, there is also 150 yuan, plus he himself has a job income in the textile factory, today's doorman Lao Niu, whose net worth is higher than that of the director of an ordinary small factory, patrols around with this lame leg every day, and he can't keep his mouth shut happily when he sees Liang Yifei.
Liang Yifei's requirements for faculty and staff are very simple, you can be incapable, but you must be willing to work hard, you can have a temper, but you must have the ability, in a word, as long as you are willing to work, he is willing to pay as a boss.
In fact, there is no shortage of people who are willing to work in these years, what is lacking is the way to make money, with a boss like Liang Yifei, the enthusiasm of the faculty and staff is very high!
Now there is no shortage of money in the new era, and in terms of tuition, a total of 400,000 yuan has been collected.
Calculate the accounts, excluding the costs and various expenses of this period, the net profit is close to 300,000.
However, according to Liang Yifei's style of spending money 'lavishly', the follow-up cost designation will be increased, and the cram school will recruit so many students at once, and it will inevitably recruit teachers, and even full-time staff, and in the end, the profit in the first four months should not be so much.
The most conservative estimate is that the profit looks like fifty or sixty thousand dollars a month.
Compared with making tens of thousands of dollars with an idea, it is not much, but it is very stable.
And with the expansion of cram schools, it will also be able to rise in the future.
When the cram school started, Liang Yifei temporarily skipped the night class, and was here in the warehouse every day, doing things during the day, listening to the class at night, and then putting forward targeted opinions on the teacher's course, and then working with the teachers to constantly improve the teaching materials and revise the teaching style.
After listening to the class for a while, Liang Yifei felt that there is still a big gap between the current new era and the mainstream tutoring institutions on the market: there are few teachers, the teachers' ability and skills are insufficient, the curriculum arrangement is relatively simple, and the competition is not strong enough...... And so on and so forth.
However, in the survey of students, it was found that the students' responses were generally good, their evaluation of the new era was very good, and they were satisfied with the teaching.
The reason is that Liang Yifei is a time-traveler, who has seen and eaten, and can compare the best cram schools in the new era with the best cram schools in the later generations;
Compared with the latter, the educational thinking, educational ability and method policy of the new era are at least half an era ahead!
"Leading now does not mean that you will always be leading in the future, in other words, you are getting a high salary now, it does not mean that you will always be able to get it in the future!"
At the end of the week's course, Liang Yifei gathered several teachers and held an internal meeting, and the opening was a 'bad word'.
The words were serious, but the participating teachers, including Liang Yifei, looked very relaxed.
After all, the cram school has made a good start, and the teachers' incomes have increased, and Liang Yifei, as the boss, has also made money.
Today's meeting is not only a small summary of the previous one, but also a prospect for the future.
"If we want to maintain a leading edge, we must establish our own core competitiveness, which is not only a strategic issue of corporate culture and school policy, but also implemented in specific work. Next, a teaching and research group should be set up within the school!" Liang Yifei said.
Several teachers sat up slightly and looked at each other.
From the first day of running the school, Liang Yifei told all the teachers that the new era should set up a 'teaching and research group' that really has scientific research ability and can get the results of core competitiveness.
Different from the so-called teaching and research groups of the current universities, primary and secondary schools, and even the education commission, as a private school, the teaching and research group of the new era is definitely not a nominal existence, nor is it an institution that spends its energy on prize distribution, curriculum arrangement, and even requires regular publication of articles in newspapers and publications.
It has a real research task: in the first stage, it is necessary to start from the test questions and examination points of previous years, compile a supporting materials that belong to the new era, including textbooks, test questions, etc., and establish a teaching information database belonging to the new era.
It can be said that the teaching and research group is a treasure trove of wisdom for schools in the new era!
So different from the teaching and research group of ordinary schools, the head of the English teaching and research group in the new era, whether it is the treatment or the status of the school, will obviously be significantly improved and become the core figure of the school.
Seeing that several teachers obviously showed expectant expressions, Liang Yifei smiled and said: "At present, there is not enough manpower, all teachers participate in the teaching and research group, each person will receive an additional subsidy of two hundred yuan per month, and the leader of the teaching and research group will ......."
After a pause, his gaze swept over everyone, "Teacher Song Zhongzhong is in charge, and the monthly subsidy is four hundred." ”
Song Zhongzhong subconsciously stood up directly, his face slightly red with excitement: "Boss Liang, don't worry, we will definitely complete the task!"
"Good. Liang Yifei nodded and said, "Another thing, next, the school is ready to expand its business." ”
To set up a teaching and research group, everyone knows in advance that since the school has already started the teaching work, the establishment of the teaching and research group has been smoothly completed, which is nothing more than an arrangement for the treatment of personnel, and has not caused any waves.
Hearing that they want to expand their business, the teachers present buzzed and talked about it.
The school has just been established, the first course has only been started for a week, and now is it time to expand the business?
Isn't that too fast?
