Chapter 312: The Little Annual Meeting
Time passed day by day in the bustle, and two days passed in the blink of an eye. Today is the last day of the nineteenth century, and tomorrow will be the first day of the twentieth century.
Wearing a formal suit prepared by Zhou Zixuan for herself, Zhang Siyuan came to Times Technology early. Yesterday he had already informed all the executives of the company that there would be an executive meeting today. to decide on the direction of the next year and discuss the challenges that lie ahead.
After sitting in the office for a while, Zhang Siyuan got up and walked to the conference room. The meeting was scheduled for 9 a.m., and there were many items on the agenda for today's meeting, and Zhang Siyuan didn't want to waste their time. After all, today is a special day, and the big guys may have their own activities at night, if they work overtime because of the meeting, Zhang Siyuan himself feels a little unhappy.
After being a small employee for so long before being reborn, Zhang Siyuan can naturally appreciate the tediousness of the meeting. No matter what the meeting, the leader will always talk at length on it, and the employees below feel that it is meaningless to waste time, and the employees who have something to do will always curse the leaders above in their hearts at that time. Zhang Siyuan naturally did this kind of thing, so Zhang Siyuan didn't want to be that kind of person.
When Zhang Siyuan walked into the conference room, several senior executives of the company were already in the conference room. After Zhang Siyuan walked in, Qin Siyu, who was close to the door of the conference room, closed the door of the conference room.
Zhang Siyuan walked to his position, sat down directly, and then said with a smile: "I know everyone here now, and I don't need to introduce myself like last time, which can save a lot of time." Today's meeting is about the company's development plan for next year. Of course, it's a rough plan, and if it's specific, then it is estimated that we don't need to go home tonight, and we can spend this century night together in the company. Okay, let's get down to business, and I'm not going to waste everyone's time, after all, I'm going on a date with my girlfriend at night. I know that many people below have things to do at night, so I don't bother with it. ”
After the people below finished laughing, Zhang Siyuan continued with a smile: "Now start the first charter of this meeting, and Guo Hongyan and Guo Zong will read out the company's annual corporate profit in 1999. ”
As soon as Zhang Siyuan's voice fell, Guo Hongyan continued: "Everyone knows me, as Mr. Zhang said, I won't waste everyone's time and go directly to the topic." This year's revenue of the company is mainly from the three aspects of QQ Legend, Times Entertainment, and QQ Navigation advertising, as for the advertising revenue of QQ members and QQ portal, it is counted together. As of yesterday, QQ Legend has generated a total of 35 million revenue for the company, 65 million for Times Entertainment, 5 million for QQ Navigation, and 1 million for QQ members and QQ portal, with a total revenue of 16 million. Of course, these are only incomes, and they are only approximate figures, after all, there is still one day today, and tomorrow the statistics will be the most complete. And the expenses are not counted, so this cannot be considered as final. Spend on words......"
"Mr. Guo, let's just talk about the total, don't waste everyone's time. Zhang Siyuan stopped Guo Hongyan from preparing to report the same.
Guo Hongyan nodded: "Excluding costs and the company's various expenses, the company's net profit this year is about 58 million." This is the company's total profit for the year, and my report is done. ”
The entire office was stunned by the number. More than 50 million, and QQ Legend and Times Entertainment have not been created for a long time, to put it bluntly, it has created such a high revenue in just a few months, which is simply too scary.
Zhang Siyuan didn't pay attention to the commotion of the people below, and then said: "I only learned about the company's specific profits today, and after the meeting is dismissed, you can also announce this year's year-end rewards when you return to your respective departments, and you don't need to trouble your colleagues in the administrative department." With the exception of employees in the technical department, all employees are paid three times their salary in the last month. The year-end bonus for employees in the technical department will be customized according to the profit standard of the unit's products. Of course, there is certainly no disadvantage to technical employees. As for other benefits, the administrative department will follow up when the time comes. ”
This year-end bonus was decided by Zhang Siyuan after discussing with Gao Changjiang and Zhang Junkui. In addition to technical personnel, the benefits of three times the salary are already higher than those of state-owned enterprises, not to mention other benefits. As for the year-end bonus for technical personnel, of course, it cannot be the same as that of employees in other departments. After all, the company's revenue generation is directly related to the technical staff.
There will naturally be high and low, for example, the year-end bonus for R&D personnel in the QQ Legend Department will definitely be much higher than that of other departments. This is also a decision that Zhang Siyuan made after thinking about it for a long time, after all, more work and more rewards. QQ Legend has created a huge amount of revenue for the company, and R&D personnel should naturally take more. On the contrary, the one with the least income should be the QQ R&D department.
Waiting for the executives who were in a commotion because of hearing the year-end benefits to quiet down, Zhang Siyuan continued: "Just now Mr. Guo said the company's financial situation this year, of course, it is approximate. I was going to do an annual review, but it felt like a waste of time. Later, when we have time, we will directly start the main content of our meeting today, the direction of the company's development in the next year. Mr. Gao, you say. ”
Gao Changjiang directly followed Zhang Siyuan's words and said: "As a person who has just joined the company for a short time, I am amazed that the company can generate 100 million yuan in a short period of time. I'm glad I chose to change jobs in the first place, because I was in the best time to join the company, and I'm sure everyone here is the same. People like to talk nonsense when they get older, and I don't talk nonsense anymore. I have set three goals for the company's growth next year:
1. Defeat Tencent and become the largest instant software communication provider in China
2. Go international and become a well-known instant software communication provider at home and abroad
3. Next year, the company's profit will quadruple on the current basis. ”
Zhang Siyuan smiled when he heard this: "Mr. Gao, I am not satisfied with this last goal. If you're only preparing to quadruple your company's earnings next year, then I can only say that your heart is too small. My goal is to increase the company's profitability by at least 20 times next year. You may think I'm dreaming, but think about it, when you entered the company, did you think that the company could earn 50 million in just a few months? Is it possible that the data of QQ Legend will remain unchanged next year? Cui Xiong, are you confident?"
"BOSS, next year's QQ legend will be even more popular. You can rest assured that our entire team will work for the good of the company. Cui Xiong, who was sitting in the back, stood up and said to Zhang Siyuan.
Zhang Siyuan nodded, and then said: "There is also Times Entertainment, I don't dare to estimate how much profit Times Entertainment will be able to make next year." But what I'm sure is that it will definitely be much more than this year. There are also a series of projects that have not been launched and projects that have been launched and have not yet shown profitable performance, which will bring huge revenue to the company next year. I don't know if you have faith or not, but I'm confident that it will definitely be ten times as good as it is now, and twenty times is my goal. ”
"Mr. Zhang, I'm too conservative. Gao Changjiang stood up and said.
For Gao Changjiang, it is already awesome for a company to be able to increase its annual profit by 200 percent. It's just that I didn't expect that Zhang Siyuan's goal was to get 2,000 percent. Under Zhang Siyuan's explanation, Gao Changjiang also found himself too conservative.
QQ Legend now has a monthly income of about 10 million, and a year later, Legend will be able to generate more than 100 million revenue for the company. And the cost of QQ Legend is very small, and the net profit of more than 100 million yuan can reach about 100 million. As Zhang Siyuan said, this is still calculated according to the current data of QQ Legend. There will be an increase in data next year, and there will definitely be more revenue generation.
Times Entertainment has only one artist this year, and only released one album, which has created more than 30 million profits for the company. It is impossible to estimate how much we can do next year. But it is foreseeable that there will definitely be more than this year. After all, there is no way to compare the value created by a newcomer and a superstar. And now Eason can already be regarded as a superstar.
After all, the debut album has already surpassed five million sales, which has caused a storm in the entire entertainment industry. It also made Eason's old club regret it, and he thought about poaching Eason back.
No one knows how much value can be created by other products that have not been launched, but it will certainly not be better than the current one. Because the advertising space in the best position of QQ navigation has risen to 1 million a month. What price it will rise next year, no one knows at all.
Zhang Siyuan waved his hand at Gao Changjiang, and then said: "I can understand that Mr. Gao is conservative, but we are an Internet emerging enterprise. What we need now is momentum and take the development of the company as our own responsibility. Everyone here is young people, and the biggest one is Mr. Gao. The average age of our company is only in our twenties, and we are a team full of vitality. Our company is still a small sapling, and I don't expect the company to grow directly from a small sapling to a towering tree. However, I think that in one year, it will be no problem for the company's small sapling to grow into a small tree. ”
"A small sapling can make so much profit, and a small tree can naturally make more money. That's what I think, and I hope that's what you think. The original intention of naming the company Times Technology is to hope that our company can become a giant of the times. And what it takes to become a giant of the times requires one miracle after another. This miracle will be created by everyone. Well, that's all for today's meeting. Let's all go and get busy, Mr. Gao, Mr. Xu, Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Guo stay. ”
After everyone else went out, Zhang Siyuan smiled and asked Gao Changjiang, "Mr. Gao, how did I play just now?"
It turned out that Gao Changjiang's so-called goals were all discussed with Zhang Siyuan. It was only in order to give the middle and senior management of the company a chicken blood that he deliberately said that, and then asked Zhang Siyuan to feed them chicken soup, so as to maximize it. Otherwise, with Gao Changjiang's experience, how could he possibly set such a little goal.
Gao Changjiang smiled: "It's so-so, it needs to be strengthened." ”
Zhang Siyuan also laughed when he heard this, he still has to do a lot to understand the mystery of this kind of thing. At this time, Zhang Siyuan thought of the rebirth of the Internet that was popular before the rebirth, and those protagonists were reborn one by one, and they became omnipotent with just some commercial memories. At this moment, Zhang Siyuan felt that he was joking, it was really not that simple.
After laughing, Zhang Siyuan continued: "There are two main things to keep you here. Let's start with the first thing, I decided to take out 10 million of the company's current profit of 50 million as dividends to shareholders. Of course, according to the shares held. I believe that everyone will have no opinion on this, and other profits will continue to be used as the company's working capital. ”
At this time, sitting in the office, except for Gao Changjiang, all held shares of Times Technology. Naturally, they would not object to Zhang Siyuan's proposal, after all, who doesn't want money, 10 million points, although Zhang Siyuan accounts for the majority, but they can also get a sum of money.
Seeing that no one objected to this matter, Zhang Siyuan continued: "The second thing is related to shares. Mr. Xu has a technology in his hand that has a great impact on the development of the company. I decided to exchange 5% of the company's shares for the technology in Mr. Xu's hands, and in fact, I can make the decision alone. It's just that I think it's better to communicate with you. Let's put it this way, it's all your own people. First, I think Mr. Xu has too few shares in the company, so I decided to compensate Mr. Xu for a little shares. You may want to think, why didn't I transfer the shares directly to Mr. Xu. It's all my own people here, and I'll explain it to you. At the beginning, for some reason, some shares of the company were lost from me. These are uncontrollable factors, so I'm ready to take advantage of this opportunity to dilute the stake in those people's hands. In this case, your shares will naturally be affected. I also told you in advance, these are only temporary, I will make up for you later, I hope you can understand me. ”
"Mr. Zhang, what are you talking about? It stands to reason that we should not have shares in the company, or you forcibly transfer ours, and I unconditionally obey your decision. As soon as Zhang Siyuan finished speaking, Zhang Junkui picked up the conversation.
Zhang Siyuan thought about it, and in fact, only Zhang Junkui needed to solicit opinions. Outside shares, Tian Minghao and Chen Shiyi will definitely support themselves, and the other is Goldman Sachs' shares.
After saying the two things, several people walked to their respective offices. Gao Changjiang followed Zhang Siyuan to Zhang Siyuan's office, and he wanted to ask Zhang Siyuan about the company's shares.
After walking into Zhang Siyuan's office, Gao Changjiang asked Zhang Siyuan: "Mr. Zhang, I don't know what the situation of the company's shares is now?"
"Inside or outside the company?" Zhang Siyuan looked at Gao Changjiang.
"Externally, that is, in addition to the shares owned by the company's personnel, how many shares are there externally?"
"Twenty percent. ”
"What about the structure?"
"Hao Fang Group 10 percent, Goldman Sachs 5 percent, Chen 11 percent 5 percent. ”
"And how many shares do you have now?"
"Not counting the ones that will be transferred to Mr. Xu, there are still more than 50%. ”
"In that case, Mr. Zhang, you can't sell the shares in your hand anymore. Otherwise, if something happens, if your shares are further diluted, the company's affairs will be uncertain. ”
After Gao Changjiang said this, he looked at Zhang Siyuan. He knew that Zhang Siyuan might be unhappy when he said this, but he still had to say it. Gao Changjiang, who has been in the capitalist circle for many years, is very familiar with the ugly face of capital. For the sake of interests, not to mention friends and brothers, parents and parents can be abandoned or used for benefits, the main thing is to see whether the interests are worth it.
He didn't want Zhang Siyuan to have this situation at that time, after all, Times Technology would definitely be listed in the future. It will not prevent the entry of capital, and when the time comes, the capital will definitely be diluted, and if something goes wrong then, it will be too late.
Zhang Siyuan did not show an unhappy look as Gao Changjiang imagined, but said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Gao, I thought about this kind of thing when I transferred my shares." The reason why we want to acquire Mr. Xu's technology in the form of shares this time is because I want Mr. Xu to take more shares. Some of the shares in the hands of Mr. Xu and Mr. Zhang were transferred to them by me, and it has been stated in the transfer contract that they only enjoy the right to dividends and no voting rights. As for the other shares out there, I'm not trying to figure out how to take them back. ”
"Since Mr. Zhang has a good idea in his heart, I'm afraid that Mr. Zhang can't think of this stubble. In that case, I'll go and get busy first. Gao Changjiang got up and walked outside.
After Gao Changjiang walked out of the office, Zhang Siyuan leaned on the boss's chair, half-squinting his eyes, thinking of the phone call that Chen Shiyi had called him last night.
It turned out that Chen Shiyi returned to the Chen family compound yesterday to find Chen Ziye, and was willing to use the shares of Times Technology in his hand as a condition in exchange for the construction of Taiyu Group as usual. If it can be completed normally within the specified time limit, then the shares in Chen Shiyi's hands will be transferred to Chen Ziye free of charge. Another condition is that Chen Shiyi must not transfer his shares to others without reason before this.
Otherwise, Zhang Siyuan would not have thought of using everyone's shares to compensate Xu Zelei, and he could give Xu Zelei five percent of the shares himself. The shares are in the hands of Chen Ziye and in the hands of Chen Shiyi, which are two different natures.
Zhang Siyuan didn't agree with Chen Shiyi to do this, but Chen Shiyi didn't care about it at all. Chen Shiyi and Haofang Group's shares are not restricted. Chen Shiyi wanted to do that, and Zhang Siyuan had no choice.
The main reason is that the land in Caohejing really can't be dragged down, and Chen Shiyi also came to the conclusion after analysis, so he chose to do that. Otherwise, he wouldn't have disobeyed Zhang Siyuan and handed over the shares in his hand to Chen Ziye. It's just that the shares have really come to the day when they are handed over to Chen Ziye, which also means that his relationship with Chen Ziye has also come to an end.
