94. Helping people settle accounts is called accounting
When the Romance of the Three Kingdoms co-authored by Jingwen and Cheng Lin began to sell well, Liu Qing, who eats and drinks every day, called Jingwen back. And Jingwen thought that something had happened to him every day, so he hurried back. During this time, I was busy with the literary and artistic business, so I almost forgot about this daily diet.
"Boss, I should report to you on the income statement." Liu Qing said.
Jingwen said casually: "You stay, I'll watch it myself, I don't need you to report it." ”
"Thank you for your trust!" Liu Qing said.
And Jingwen thought for a moment and said, "It's been a few months since we started eating every day, right?" ”
"There are still ten days left, and it will be five months." Liu Qing said.
"Originally, I promised you that after the diet is on the right track every day, I can give you some dry stocks. Now that you're on track to eat every day, you can get your share of dry stock. When do you think you're going to withdraw the dividends? Jingwen asked.
This dry stock was promised by Jingwen before, of course, he has to speak. Moreover, the head of this accounting office was also in the position of financial director in later generations, and I felt that most enterprises were handed over to shareholders, at least some senior managers who were given dry shares. During this time, Liu Qing did a very good job, so Jingwen also planned to fulfill his promise and give him a dry share.
But Liu Qing said: "Boss, I am very grateful for your trust in me, but I wonder if I can make another choice?" ”
Jingwen frowned and asked, "What do you want?" ”
"Boss, I want to be your partner!" Liu Qing said.
"Partner?" Jingwen was immediately a little surprised by this statement.
What is a partner, in fact, it is one of the bosses, and they all have shares. Strictly speaking, the only one who can be called Jingwen's partner now is Xue Xue, the shopkeeper of the restaurant, because Xue Xue accounts for 30% of the dividend. And the rest of the emperor Li Shimin, as well as the chefs in the imperial dining room, in fact, strictly speaking, they only take money, and do not interfere in specific operations, and can only be regarded as half a partner.
Although Liu Qing was promised to give her dry shares before, this dry stock will only be given if Liu Qing works for herself. If Liu Qing changes jobs in the future, or because he is older, he can't do it, but he will have to take it back. Therefore, strictly speaking, although Liu Qing is a senior manager, he is only a senior worker, not Jingwen's partner. Before, Jingwen wanted Liu Qing to be a housekeeper, but now Jingwen hasn't even gone back to his so-called home many times in the past few months, and he has an empty house there, so naturally he doesn't need a housekeeper. And Liu Qing also served as the general account of the daily diet, so now Jingwen has to agree to give her shares.
It's not enough, and now Liu Qing actually said that he wanted to be his partner, which made Jingwen a little puzzled. The partner is one of the bosses, and his status is far from being comparable to that of a part-time worker. Moreover, the boss is the person who can get a lot of dividends, and the income is much higher than that of a part-time worker. Even, the status of bosses and migrant workers is not of the same level. Strictly speaking, the workers are just vassals of the boss. When Liu Qing said this, it can be said that he is suspected of not being able to figure out his position! In ancient parlance, there is a suspicion of usurpation.
"The owner, I want to use my ability to create my own industry, and I hope the owner can invest. When the time comes, the proprietor can account for 60 percent, and I will account for 40 percent. In this way, even if we cooperate. Liu Qing said.
"What industry are you going to do? Restaurant? Are you sure your restaurant can compete with the daily diet? Jingwen asked.
Jingwen didn't believe that this Liu Qing could start a restaurant, because Liu Qing didn't have so many dishes, let alone so much capital. Moreover, every day has formed a brand, and with a fixed source of customers, it is naturally not comparable to a new restaurant. Even if there are dishes of the same quality, it will not affect the daily diet in a short period of time. Therefore, it is impossible for Liu Qing to be able to open a restaurant.
"Owner, I don't want to open a restaurant, but to open an industry that helps people settle accounts." Liu Qing said.
"Settle accounts for someone?" Jingwen still didn't understand the meaning of this.
"Owner, recently, many merchants have come to our daily catering and want us to help settle the accounts, this is because our daily catering account is very good. Of course, this is because the owner has provided a new method of accounting, which is why our account room is much better than other people's account rooms. In addition, some small merchants also want to rent our account room temporarily, so that our account room can help them settle accounts on a regular basis. They have a small industry and can't afford to hire a special accounting room, but their owner is not good at settling accounts, so they want us to help them settle the accounts. ”
"And I also found out that there is a need for this, we can set up a collective of accounts to help people settle accounts, and then we will help others settle accounts, and then collect the fees of those merchants who entrust us to settle accounts. That way, we can sustain it. But I was not able to start on my own, and I didn't have any customers, so I wanted the owner to invest and help me find the first batch of customers. Liu Qing said.
After Jingwen listened, she immediately understood what Liu Qing wanted to do, she just wanted to set up an accounting firm! In later generations there was an industry called the profession of accountants. A group of accountants may gather together and set up an accounting firm, and then conduct audits and financial advisors for others. Unlike other companies that sell actual tangible products, accounting firms specialize in selling services. They help others settle accounts and use their financial knowledge to reduce costs for others, which is an intangible service. This kind of service can also be called a product, and an accounting firm is a company that makes this intangible product.
But now this Liu Qing actually wants to set up an accounting firm that specializes in accounting for others, which makes the scriptures not know whether she is a genius or a madman. Half a step ahead is a genius, and a step ahead is a madman. In this ancient time, when business had not yet been thoroughly developed, an accounting firm was to be established, and this Jingwen did not know if it could be successful. Or is this just Liu Qing's inspiration?
"Have you figured it out? Do you really want to set up this accounting firm that helps people settle accounts? Jingwen asked again.
