Most large companies and enterprises will build their own office buildings and residential communities, the former is convenient and the latter is to increase the cohesion of employees, so Ma Cong did not feel strange when he heard Zhu Ziqing say that he wanted to build a community. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He is strange about the number of billions.

A billion, not a hundred thousand nor a ten, but a billion. Many people may not have a specific concept of the number billion. For example, how much is a billion dollars?

If a person's monthly salary is 5,000 yuan, 60,000 yuan a year. Then this person does not eat, drink, or spend a penny, and it will take sixteen thousand six hundred and sixty-seven years to earn that much money. To put it more figuratively, this person had to start working at the end of the fourth ice age on Earth, and he had to work until now to earn so much money.

Now, is there a specific concept? So, okay, the above paragraph is making up the word count, and let's get down to business.

One billion is not a decimal number for anyone, especially a new company like Skynet.

In the early days of the development of the Internet, the profitability of Internet companies was very weak. Living beyond your means is the norm, and zero income is not uncommon. This is true for companies such as Tengxun, Baidu, Alibaba, Sina, etc. Fortunately, these companies are now profitable. Some cheats, such as Jingdong Mall, are still in a state of making ends meet.

If you want to develop and grow, you need to burn money, and you don't have enough funds to burn it, what should you do? Financing is commonly known as finding venture capital to pull investment. When the money from financing is burned out, continue to finance, what A round, B round, C round, etc., until the day when it can make a profit.

As you can observe, the initial shareholding of Internet companies is very complex. A company often has several or even dozens of companies holding shares.

Of course, now that the Internet market is mature, the situation faced by Internet companies is not so severe. Many companies start to make a profit at the beginning of their creation, and even create business miracles. Not to mention, many people who play online games should know a browser game called Sword of the Archangel. This game is the web version of "Miracle Mu", the cost is pitiful, and the result is tens of millions of dollars a year.

But this should definitely not include Skynet, QQ's early capabilities are very weak, and they are still expanding at a terrifying rate. Games, handhelds, post bars, music sharing sites, video sharing sites, web portals, network security ...... Even traditional industries are not spared, such as the clothing industry, the entertainment industry, and the food industry......

The speed of development is directly proportional to the speed of burning money, and the faster the development, the more money will be burned. Countless venture capital firms are waiting for them to raise money with a lot of money in their hands. How do you know that Zhu Ziqing's financial resources are so strong, and he has supported the company through the negative profit stage with his own strength.

What is even more unexpected is that Skynet's profitability is so strong. Other companies of the same type burn money for several years, and some still have negative profits after burning for more than ten years. Skynet broke even in just a few months and soon entered the profitability stage.

This counterintuitive pace of development has left everyone stunned. And this pace of development of theirs has not slowed down, but even become faster.

Skynet is profitable, but at the same time they are still expanding. Expansion requires a lot of money, and can it make money at the same rate as it expands?

If they don't slow down, soon they will run out of money. Even if Zhu Ziqing subsidized it with his own money, it was useless. Now it's different from before, at that time, Skynet was still young, and the speed of burning money was very slow, and he could subsidize it.

The current Skynet burning speed is in the unit of 100 million, and Zhu Ziqing's copyright fee is a lot, but it is still a drop in the bucket for the speed of Skynet's burning money.

Ma Cong had also studied Skynet, so he naturally knew these things. Now when I hear that Zhu Ziqing is going to spend one billion to build a residential community, don't mention how surprised I am. It is incomprehensible to spend huge sums of money to build residential communities at a time when burning money in hundreds of millions of dollars.

Other companies will build their own residential communities when they have money to spare in the stage of stable development, and this process generally takes ten or twenty years. Your Skynet company has only been established for a year, and it is developing rapidly, so don't use your money to build a community.

"The money for building a community is not a one-time investment, and the installment investment is still affordable. Zhu Ziqing said with a smile.

Yes, building a large community is not a project that can be completed in a year and a half. If the construction period is extended a little longer for one or two years, it is not uncommon for the project to be completed after four or five years.

If you take a billion at once, it is very difficult. But by dividing the money into several batches, they can still turn it around.

"It seems that everyone is underestimating the profitability of Skynet. Ma Cong shook his head and sighed.

"Skynet's profitability is indeed strong, but it's not as exaggerated as you might think. Finally, you have to turn to the bank. Zhu Ziqing shook his head and said.

Those who are engaged in real estate know that those who pay for building a house by themselves are petty. The real big ones use the bank's money to build a house, and after the house is sold, they are repaying the loan. With the current reputation and strength of Skynet, the bank wishes for him to lend a little more. They can also build one part of the building and then take out a mortgage to move on to the next part. In short, there are many ways.

"Haha...... Indeed, now the banks wish your company would like to lend a little more. At the mention of the bank, Ma Cong laughed.

To mention here, banks are a place where the poor love the rich. When you don't have money, they don't care about you, and when you have money, they beg you to borrow more. The high-level personnel of the four major banks have gone to Skynet, first, they want to collect savings, and second, they hope that Skynet can borrow more. As the richest man in China, the Ma family must also enjoy such treatment.

Zhu Ziqing is a little childish, he doesn't owe money to others if he can, and he has never borrowed money from the bank. Lin Baoer is different, the more money, the better. As long as she is short of money, she will lend as much as the bank is willing to lend. It's just that Skynet's profitability is too strong, and she doesn't need to borrow much money from the bank. Just one cheongsam made her earn a lot of money, enough for her to burn hard for a long time without worrying about funds.

This is also the biggest reason why Zhu Ziqing proposed to build his own residential community.

Just when Zhu Ziqing and Ma Cong were chatting happily, Feng Hongjun took Du Jiangyan and Yang Liu to the clover store in the mountain city.

Because of the abundant funds, more than 40 directly-operated stores have been opened in one go, one in each of the first-tier cities, and most provincial capitals.

As one of the municipalities directly under the central government, the mountain city naturally did not fall behind, and the location was selected in the most prosperous area of the Liberation Monument in Yuzhong. After hesitating at the door for a while, Du Jiangyan and Yang Liu finally followed Feng Hongjun in. Maybe it was the first time to go to such an upscale place, and both girls were a little nervous. The hand held couldn't help but clench tighter, so as to gain strength from the other party.

"Joyful arrival. ”

In the sweet voice of the beautiful welcome lady at the door, the three of them entered the store.

"Hello, how can I help you. As soon as I entered, a shopping guide came forward to greet me. The shopping guide's tone was sincere and sweet, and he was not curious at all because Feng Hongjun was taking the two girls.

Feng Hongjun nodded secretly, although it was too impatient to open more than 40 stores at one time, the training of the clerks did not fall behind. The words and deeds of these shopping guides in front of me make people feel at home.

"Choose a dress for each of these two ladies. Feng Hongjun nodded in return, and then said to Du Jiangyan and the two: "You two see if you have anything you like, don't be polite." ”

"Thank you. The two girls were not polite, they all came in, and it would be artificial to refuse again.

The shopping guide took the two girls to choose clothes, and Feng Hongjun did not go with him, but carefully observed the situation in the store. Although the store has only been opened for a short time, business is still very good. Customers don't say that there are crowds, and it is absolutely no problem to use the endless stream. Especially the cheongsam area, which is crowded with people.

A cursory look at the prices is staggering, the cheapest one is close to four figures, most of them are between one and forty thousand, and the most expensive ones are worth a year's salary of the middle class.

The garment industry is really profitable, Feng Hongjun sighed. Even with his current income, he feels a pain in the flesh.

However, such a high price still could not stop the customer's desire to buy, and at this moment, he saw with his own eyes that five or six transactions were made, with a total amount of more than 300,000 yuan.

It turns out that the Chinese are already so rich. No, it should be said that the gap between the rich and the poor is getting wider and wider. Thinking that most of the people in his hometown were still bleeding and sweating for a salary of three or five thousand yuan a month, Feng Hongjun couldn't help but want to say, what a straw egg.

He has forgotten that he is also part of the middle class.

While he was wandering around, he suddenly heard a noisy sound. What's wrong? Feng Hongjun frowned and walked over quickly.

"This dress is obviously our first fancy to it, why should we give it to you. In the distance, I heard Yang Liu's angry voice.

"Do you have the money to buy such expensive clothes? Don't touch them if you don't have money, you can't afford to pay for them if they are damaged." A shrill voice followed.

"You ......" Yang Liu couldn't say anything.

Hearing that it was Yang Liu and people who were having a conflict, Feng Hongjun's pace was three points faster. Then he saw a woman with heavy makeup and revealing clothes and said triumphantly:

"What are you, are you speechless? Look at what you're both wearing...... Tsk, let's stall the goods. You can buy a set for ten dollars. It's a clover here, so don't be embarrassed if you don't have money. ”

"It's you who is the one who is embarrassed. A person of low quality cannot be elegant in any clothes, and an elegant person is just as elegant even if he wears a stall. Du Jiangyan pulled the willow and said lightly.

Most of the people around Wen Yan nodded secretly, obviously agreeing with her words. It's just that I just agree in my heart that no one wants to get into trouble.

"What do you say? Who doesn't have the quality, you explain it to me. The woman with heavy makeup changed face and shouted in a sharp voice.

"Everyone knows who is of low quality, and some people are so self-aware, it seems that they are completely hopeless. Du Jiangyan sneered.

The onlookers couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing.

"You...... You ......" This time it was the turn of the woman with heavy makeup and glamorous makeup, and she was speechless.

Seeing this, Feng Hongjun also slowed down and looked at Du Jiangyan with interest to see what she would do next.

Yang Liu's personality is soft when it sounds good, and a little weak when it is ugly. If you're bullied, you won't even fight back. Du Jiangyan is different, this woman is strong and spicy, and she speaks with a gun and a stick to make the woman with heavy makeup angry. And the expression on her face is always calm and calm when she speaks, as if she is greeting a friend.

After watching it for a while, Feng Hongjun was ready to step forward and solve the matter. After all, it's a clover, and things are big and affect word of mouth.

"What's going on?" asked, a woman in her thirties with a grim face.

"Store manager. The shopping guide, who was helpless, breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly greeted him.

The store manager, Feng Hongjun's footsteps were lowered again. He wanted to see what the store manager would do with it. (To be continued.) )
