No. 012 Brothers settle accounts
The 12th brother is a clear account
Qi Lirui opened the box and was stunned when she saw nokia361o, and quickly pressed the button to verify that it was not a model but a real machine, and her eyes widened in surprise: "Is this true?" β
Bai Guo didn't know why: "What is really? β
Qi Lirui held the blue nokia361o and said emotionally: "Real mobile phone, real Nokia 361o." β‘οΌ₯γΞ©οΌοΌβ I have my own point of view', and the advertisements outside are overwhelming. After the high school entrance examination, I begged my father to buy me this mobile phone, but my father said that I didn't need a mobile phone, and he was only willing to buy me PHS. β
Bai Guohu stared at nokia361o suspiciously: "How much does this thing cost?" β
Qi Lixin: "The price in the mobile phone store is 225o yuan. β
Bai Guo was taken aback: "It's so expensive!" β
Wei Dongsheng's monthly living expenses are 15O yuan, and the monthly living expenses of Ginkgo are 12O yuan, and a piece of nokia361o is enough for Ginkgo and Wei Dong to live for eight months.
Bai Guo turned to Wei Dongsheng: "Where did you get your mobile phone?" β
The game studio copied the chain of equipment interests and then made money, and what she earned was also half-black and gray banknotes, and when she told Bai Guo, she must have nightmares every night. Wei Dongsheng lied to deceive her: "I told you, I made a lot of money by reselling flowers and greeting cards on Teacher's Day and melon seeds, oranges and apples on Mid-Autumn Festival." β
Bai Guo didn't believe it: "Nonsense, this is a mobile phone for 225o yuan, how much money can you make by reselling greeting cards?" Don't forget, when I was in junior high school, I helped you sell greeting cards. β
Wei Dongsheng insisted on his white lie: "How many people are there in our junior high school, and how many people are in Wu Pingyi." Wu Pingyi High School has 14,500 students in each grade, and with the repeat class in the third year of high school, there are almost 5,000 students. On average, one dollar per person is a profit of 5,000 yuan. β
Wei Dongsheng's explanation shocked Qi Lirui covered her mouth: "My God, you made 5,000 yuan by reselling greeting cards?" β
Bai Guo participated in the reselling of greeting cards in Wei Dongsheng's junior high school days, and knew that the greeting card reselling business would never be one for each student in the school. Bai Guo didn't believe Wei Dongsheng's explanation in his heart, but he was empathetic and felt that Wei Dongsheng must have a reason not to say it, so he didn't continue to ask at the moment, and silently accepted the "expensive" nokia361o. Bai Guo had never touched a mobile phone before, and she couldn't make a phone call to check text messages, so Qi Lirui happened to be a good teacher, so she threw her mp3 to Su Yuanying and came to Bai Guo's side to teach her how to use her mobile phone.
Bai Guo wanted to understand Wei Dongsheng in his own way, and took the trouble to ask Qi Lirui, even to the point of asking the difference between a mobile phone and PHS. However, Qi Lirui is half a bottle of water, and her limited knowledge comes from TV commercials or hearsay: "A mobile phone is a mobile phone, and PHS is a PHS, and the two are not the same thing." β
Wei Dongsheng looked at the three girls with adult thinking, and Qi Lirui, who frequently showed her superiority, was a little childish and simple, and patiently helped her to add an explanation: "PHS's official name is wireless local phone phone, first connect to the local telephone network wirelessly, and then interact with the outside world. The disadvantage of PHS lies in its communication base, that is, the PHS base station has a limited range, which limits the distance between the communication base station and the mobile phone terminal, resulting in the extremely poor signal of PHS in the field. Take a PHS, stand in the wind and rain, change your left hand for your right hand, and change your right hand for your left hand, but you still can't get through, that's what you are talking about. β
Qi Lirui looked at Wei Dongsheng in surprise: "Do you still understand this?" β
Wei Dongsheng smiled back: "I know a little." β
Although Wei Dongsheng's business was limited to the narrow range of mobile games when he first started his business, as a team leader, he must not be so narrow-minded. Looking back on the history of the mobile phone industry and guessing the trend of the future mobile phone exhibition are the basic lessons of Wei Dongsheng. Just like the MP3 topic mentioned by Qi Lixin before, Wei Dongsheng did forget about MP3 products, but he had the impression of a music mobile phone that eliminated MP3 in his mind. Wei Dongsheng's memory is clear, the concept of music mobile phone integrated into the mp3 player into the mobile phone suddenly became the trend of the times in 2oo5. Prior to this, although the Samsung SGH-M188 launched in November 2ooo has tried to integrate MP3 players, it has not really activated the market of music mobile phones, and Qi Lirui's dream of listening to songs with PHS is probably just her hearsay.
Qi Lirui's sense of superiority comes and goes faster.
Qi Lirui begged for nokia361o, which she couldn't get all the summer, and was given to Baiguo by Wei Dongsheng, and what was even more terrifying was that the four thousand five hundred yuan of the two mobile phones were all earned by Wei Dongsheng selling flowers and greeting cards. Qi Lirui is so jealous of the dead ginkgo fruit, I want such a boyfriend too. A dozen is not too much. Qi Lirui then looked at Wei Dongsheng, her eyes oozed faint green, although it was impossible to dig the foot of the wall in front of Bai Guo, but she knocked on the side and asked if there were any male students who were as powerful as Wei Dongsheng.
With a mobile phone, the atmosphere became harmonious, and Wei Dongsheng accompanied Bai Guo to play leisurely in Panyang City for two days and one night. When parting, Bai Guo reluctantly sent it to the bus station, straightened Wei Dongsheng's collar, and abruptly turned over the old accounts: "On Friday night, if you don't reply to my message, you must not be going to the toilet, but playing a game, right?" β
Wei Dongsheng knew Bai Guo's character, and explained in a harmonious voice: "I didn't play games. β
Bai Guo clung to it: "That's definitely not going to the toilet, you weren't like this before." β
Wei Dongsheng was thinking about sticking to his own opinion or thinking of another strategy, but Bai Guo suddenly let it go lightly: "Forget it, I believe in you." It's like the money to buy a mobile phone, if you don't say it, there must be a reason not to say it. However, the game is very addictive, and many male students in our class go crazy while playing, skipping class every day. You can't do this. Promise me not to play games, if you want to play, wait until you are admitted to university and have time. β
Wei Dongsheng happily agreed: "Okay." β
Bai Guo: "Well, let's get in the car, if it's too late, it will delay the evening self-study." β
Waving goodbye to Bai Guo through the glass window of the bus, on the evening of September 22, 2oo2, Wei Dongsheng hurried back to the Internet cafΓ© game studio and walked straight to Huo Yongshan: "Is there nothing wrong?" β
Huo Yongshan brought two business lists: "There are small problems with bank transfers, some places suspend inter-provincial transfer business on weekends or Sundays, and many intention contracts cannot be converted into actual remittances. However, yesterday's arrival was 1o1,000, and today's arrival is 1o7,000, both of which are higher than on Saturday. β
Wei Dongsheng was slightly surprised: "I know the disadvantages of bank transfers, and I thought that the amount received in the past two days would increase in the opposite direction, but I didn't expect that it would maintain positive growth on Sunday." Amazing, amazing, you've done as well as I imagined these two days. By the way, this mobile phone is for you, and you can carry it with you in the future, and you can contact it in time wherever you go. β
Huo Yongshan took the phone and praised it: "This phone is pretty cool." β
Wei Dongsheng: "Don't shirk. β
Huo Yongshan smiled: "Don't worry, I will definitely accept it." β
Unlike Bai Guo's hesitation, Huo Yongshan is very aware of the terrifying profits of game studios. In these years, no matter how expensive an ordinary mobile phone is, it is only six or seven thousand yuan, and Huo Yongshan claims that his payment is worth a mobile phone. Wei Dongsheng didn't regard the mobile phone as an emotional investment, and his brother on the spot settled the account: "There is nothing to worry about, this mobile phone is 22oo yuan, and the account will be deducted from your 3o% dividend." β
After talking for a while, Huo Yongshan suddenly remembered something, took out a bunch of keys and handed it to Wei Dongsheng: "Lao Liu, the owner of this Internet cafΓ©, helped negotiate the house, excluding miscellaneous items such as water and electricity charges, and the monthly rent is 1,200 yuan." When you have time, you go and take a look, and if you think it's suitable, sign a lease contract. β
Wei Dongsheng took the key: "Okay." β
Wei Dongsheng had already had dinner with Bai Guo in Panyang City in advance, and Huo Yongshan had to go to find food alone. Wei Dongsheng did not stop today's work, but entered the password to start the third plug-in, activated the backdoor to invade the legendary server, summarized the equipment data of several trumpets, and checked the operation status of the two days. It is not that Wei Dongsheng suspects that Huo Yongshan is enriching his pockets, but the management of a company must not be said to let go. Investing in an industry, hiring professional managers, and then delegating power to let them work their own, while they lie in bed and wait for the money to arrive, this kind of beautiful thing cannot be said to be nothing, but it is definitely a few wonders. The vast majority of high degree of freedom and decentralization are not exchanged for the loyalty of employees, but for employees who hollow out their investments and run away.
Trusting professional managers and delegating 100% of their authority is a common mistake of revolutionary optimism made by novice business owners.
Business is also a battlefield, and there is no room for blind optimism.
Wei Dong made such a mistake in his previous life, because he was gullible to a professional manager, he lost 6 million yuan of investment, which led to the rupture of the capital chain and indirectly induced the first entrepreneurial failure crisis.
In fact, there are many similar examples. For example, Liu Xingqiangdong, the head of Jingxingdong, raised funds from his relatives when he was in college and bought a restaurant near Zhongguancun. Liu Xingqiangdong was still naΓ―ve and idealistic and kind at that time, and after taking over, he first gave each employee a Casio watch worth more than 200 yuan, then increased wages, improved the accommodation environment, and delegated the purchasing and cashier rights to the employees, and he returned to school to continue his studies. As a result, the restaurant lost a mess, the buyer and the cashier partnered inflated, the chef and other employees wantonly consumed expensive ingredients for free, and Liu Xingqiangdong didn't want to make money, and he directly owed a lot of debt. Then, Liu Xingqiangdong became the familiar Liu Xingqiangdong.
Wei Dongsheng has learned a lesson in this life, and it is absolutely impossible to be so optimistic again.
Of course, the game studio can't talk about management, but Wei Dongsheng holds the source of the equipment in his hands, so he doesn't have to worry about them deceiving his superiors and subordinates.
Wei Dongsheng recorded the total changes in equipment data, compared each order, and verified every remittance in the account book, and now there is no messy account or wrong account on the surface.
Of course, that doesn't mean game studios are in control. For example, the positioning of a set of equipment in the game studio, the highest price is 3ooo yuan, and the lowest price is 2ooo. The player customer promised a rebate and asked the agent to reduce it to 22oo yuan, and the agent reported to the game studio at the reserve price of 2ooo, and the other 2ooo yuan was transferred to his private account. In this way, the agent gets a rebate of 2oo yuan and a commission of 1oo yuan, and the income is far from the normal commission. How to supervise such a thing?
Wei Dongsheng does not expect everything to be perfect.
As long as the game studio's profit floor is within the acceptable range, such regulatory deficiencies can be slowly improved and the management system can be reduced. Fortunately, regardless of whether there was fraud or not, the business list that Huo Yongshan brought had already met the minimum limit in Wei Dongsheng's heart.
