Chapter 174 Entering Beijing to start a business
"Don't say it's so noble. At best, it's just a thief." Wang Zijie teased, "The reason why you are so enlightened is just because you have money. If I want me to say, you Lao Zhou is the real old revolutionary. It's not easy to be able to hold on to such a big stall."
Tang Zifeng said seriously: "That's right. Lao Zhou was a man who was in the Mechanical and Electrical Office. At that time, I thought it was just because he didn't have the chance to make money. But after he arrived at the first round, he had a lot of opportunities to make money in his pocket, but he could still keep his heart, which was not easy.
"To be honest, I am still cautious in front of him now, not because I am afraid of his authority, but because I think this person's character is too precious and worthy of my respect."
"Actually, there are a few such people everywhere. Standing in front of these people, I feel uneasy even if I want to do something bad." Wang Zijie also sighed.
Tang Zifeng said: "Yes, I have been working with Lao Zhou for the past few months, and I feel that I have regained my long-lost party spirit."
"Are you a party member?" Wang Zijie said in surprise.
"No." Tang Zifeng said with confidence.
“…”
"This doesn't matter." Tang Zifeng waved his hand, then changed his head, and asked anxiously: "Lao Qi, how is the sales of '53'? How much can we make this year?"
"You can't be noble for a few minutes?" Wang Zijie said in surprise. Tang Zifeng's face changed too quickly. He just said that he was sincere and kind, but why did he talk about this in a blink of an eye?
"The batch of fine and short versions sold before the college entrance examination are 40,000 sets, and one set makes 10 yuan, a total of 400,000 yuan. Because this batch of fine and short versions are released in various places, bringing the reputation of the official version. Now Xinhua Bookstores in various places are subscribing to us for official versions. Before I left Beijing, I received an order of 400,000 yuan, and it is no surprise that I finally reached 1 million sets. As you said, one set is priced at 100 yuan, and we will ship it at 50% off, deduct the cost, and make 25 yuan per set, and a total of at least 25 million yuan can be made." Wang Zijie said vigorously.
"The base is still too small." Tang Zifeng sighed. Nowadays, less than 3 million people will take the college entrance examination in the next year, unlike the next generation who have registered for the college entrance examination in tens of millions. However, things have pros and cons. There are many people in the later generations of college entrance examinations, and there are many people doing college entrance examination business. Unlike now, having a good idea can monopolize the entire market.
"The content of the book needs to be improved. The company needs to set up a research institution to specifically study how to improve this set of books. I estimate that after our hot sales this year, there should be books that follow the trend on the market, just like the machine tools we produce. Only by constantly maintaining our technological leadership can we maintain our market share." Tang Zifeng explained.
Wang Zijie said: "I have arranged for this matter to be done. After the summer vacation, I think our company should hire a group of fixed employees to do the research. By the way, in order to provide your sister with a tutoring model last time, we set up a 'one-on-one' tutoring model. As a result, several students who participated in the tutoring were inspired and wanted to run a college entrance examination tutoring institution that specifically provides this 'one-on-one' tutoring."
"It's not bad!" Tang Zifeng smiled, "Who is so business-minded? Didn't you recruit them to the company?"
Wang Zijie said: "They want to do it themselves, but they don't have money at the moment and want to join the shares with our company. I said I still have to discuss it with you, but I haven't agreed to them for the time being."
Tang Zifeng said: "Talk with them to see if they have execution ability. If they have execution ability, we can pay some money, just take 70% to 80% of the shares in a sloppy manner."
"70% or 80% of the shares?" Wang Zijie grinned, "I said that I will give us at most 49% of the shares, and they will control the shares."
Tang Zifeng asked: "How much do they want us to invest?"
"200,000." Wang Zijie said.
Tang Zifeng nodded: "If it is only 200,000 yuan, accounting for 49% of the equity, it is not a loss. This kind of investment is considered a venture capital. If they can do it, college entrance examination tutoring is a big market. By the way, tell them, let them not just focus on college entrance examination tutoring. They can do this kind of 'one-on-one' starting from kindergarten. A little more ruthless, in the future, we can add legal examinations, public examinations, postgraduate entrance examinations, and other aspects. Let's have a comprehensive solution."
"Yeah, this idea is good, I'll talk to them." Wang Zijie said seriously. In terms of management, he thought he was not as good as Tang Zifeng, so he would implement any opinions from Tang Zifeng without fail.
"In the future, the company will follow this routine. When you see promising projects, you will invest some money and provide some support. If it can be done, it will be a huge profit. The Lijia Supermarket in Linhe is very popular now. According to Huang Liting's estimate, there should be no problem with a net profit of 2 million yuan in a year." Tang Zifeng said.
Wang Zijie praised: "You have the vision. You can find such a business genius among the families of workers. I talked to Huang Liting last time and thought this woman was not simple, and our investment was also a profit."
Tang Zifeng smiled and said, "This is just the beginning. Huang Liting talked to me and said that she wanted to continue working hard and went to Nanwu to open a Lijia branch in the second half of the year, so as to strive to leave the province next year. According to this momentum, it is not surprising that Lijia Supermarket will make a profit of 100 million yuan in five years. We have half of the equity."
"So, we really don't have to worry about dividing the Pin Yi Machine." Wang Zijie joked with a smile. Tang Zifeng said before that if he bought the Pin Yi Machine, he could make more than 300 million profits by selling the land. Wang Zijie still thought it was an astronomical figure. Now, thinking about it now, 300 million is not a big figure.
"No, just one machine is worth the money, it really doesn't catch my eye." Tang Zifengniu said.
After talking about business, the two turned the topic into their respective development aspects. Wang Zijie frowned and said, "Old Ba, I'm thinking about whether it's time to find someone to manage the company's daily affairs when the sales of '53' come to an end. I also have to write some articles and first evaluate the lecturer, and then there will be associate professors, professors, etc. After all, I want to do it in school. I don't have a title and can't make it."
Tang Zifeng nodded and said, "I think so too. Now we are not short of money anymore, so we have to consider the issue of personal status. I definitely can't do academics anymore. If you keep in the academic circle, you may become a well-known domestic scholar in 20 years, and maybe you can provide some protection for the company."
Wang Zijie gave in and said: "Even if a well-known scholar is forgot to be a professor, I am content to be able to become a professor. You don't know that it is not easy to get involved in the academic circle now. If you apply for a project, you have to fill out a large form and spend a few months, which is only 50,000 yuan in funding."
Tang Zifeng smiled and said, "Lao Qi, you are obsessed with the appearance. Do you still need to apply for a project now? You can pay 50,000 yuan in funds by yourself? I have heard that the reason why some scholars are awesome is because they have funds and can do some large survey projects, and then they can publish good articles with data.
"When the company makes money, you take one or two million and do a few big surveys, and then hire a group of graduate students to write articles for you. You are the first author, and they are the second author. If you post 180 articles, I don't believe you will not become a well-known scholar."
"Is this okay?" Wang Zijie was stunned. He thought carefully in his mind and found that Tang Zifeng's suggestions were really nonsense.
There are several teachers in the teaching and research department where he is in whom he has very good ideas, but they can't find funds to do research. If he can provide these teachers with funding, everyone will share the research results, and the articles will take turns to be named, and it will be really not difficult to produce twenty or thirty core journal papers a year.
Nowadays, when evaluating professional titles in schools, they read the number of articles. If he can really have 20 or 30 core results in a year, it would not be a fantasy to be a professor within ten years. At that time, it would be difficult for a 35-year-old full professor to have a paper and wait for him to be popular in the academic circle.
As for the cost of this, it can only be considered a slight silence. Liberal arts research is not much. If you do a nationwide survey, you can only get 300,000 or 500,000 yuan. The data you obtain can be used to publish articles in an eleven way. In the academic circle, it is not uncommon for scholars who have been surviving on data from a survey for a lifetime.
So, can three to five hundred thousand be considered money?
Wang Zijie thought proudly in his heart.
"But Lao Ba, what should I do if I go to academics? I said I wanted to hire someone to do management, but the people I invited really can't make people feel at ease. The secrets of our company are actually the tricks you come up with. If the professional manager we hired has some bad intentions and plagiarizes our tricks and does it ourselves, we will lose everything." Wang Zijie said worriedly.
Tang Zifeng thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up and he said, "I have an idea to bring your parents and my parents to the capital to be professional managers. How about it?"
"My parents?" Wang Zijie said in surprise, "My parents are both rural farmers, how can they understand management?"
Tang Zifeng said: "Where are my parents not rural farmers? In fact, we don't need them to do any management. As long as they can squat in the company, they can still do the business of the company. If you arrange the company's business and let them execute it, they can still do it. My father has also done small business with others, and his mind is quite good."
Wang Zijie also came back to the scene and said, "You are right. My dad has also done small business. The people over us have more or less business acumen. I arranged everything and let them stay in the company, so it should be fine."
"This matter is settled." Tang Zifeng said, "After you go back, first find a better community, find a few houses, buy them directly, and then let our parents go to Beijing. Anyway, when they get old in the future, they will definitely have to live with us. While they are only in their 40s, they should just start a business in Beijing."
"Okay, this matter is for me." Wang Zijie responded.
