Chapter 47 Pulling and kicking people

While the Su brothers and sisters and Wang Huihui were flipping through the design drawings and planning documents, Du Qiu was observing the three partners in front of him.

His time traveling is still short and his social circle is narrow. Apart from these three, there is no other talent available. Without Su Wenhai, he would not be able to handle procurement and sales. Without Su Wenxiu, he would not be able to handle logistics and production. Without Wang Huihui, he would not be able to handle finance and audit. It can be said that neither is missing, and it is all a helper of his career.

However, no one is perfect, and these three people have their own shortcomings. Su Wenhai is very capable, but he is prone to being hot-headed and emotional. Su Wenxiu is smart and serious, but lacks experience and limited ability. Wang Huihui is neat in doing things, but has short-sighted eyes and does not distinguish between public and private. They are all available but not very useful. Fortunately, doing business is not about dating. As long as it can bring enough profits, even a pig can tolerate it. As for the shortcomings, it can be solved by a system.

At the beginning of time travel, Du Qiu was impatient and arrogant. He regarded making notepads as a small business for making a temporary life, and did not take it seriously at all. So he recruited three equal equity partners with a very playful attitude, causing a mess of the system and loopholes everywhere. Therefore, he was particularly concerned about the formal establishment of the company. He pondered and previewed it in his mind many times. I believe that there will be no problems after today.

After the three partners finished reading the design drawings and the planning book, Du Qiu regained his thoughts and began to hold a meeting. He first asked: "Brother Hai, you are an expert in sales. What do you think of the market prospects of these 5 notepads?"

"My father and others imitated the notepad we made. They sold more than 1,100 books in the last week of the semester. This semester was only four days after the start of school, and nearly 900 books were sold. There are more than 13,000 students in Yunda. If you count it like this, about 15% of the students bought it." When talking about sales, Su Wenhai immediately became energetic. He first listed the numbers, and then said ambitiously: "There are more than 1.6 million college students nationwide. If calculated based on 15%, there will be more than 200,000 sales. In addition to college students, there is a larger number of primary and secondary schools that can be promoted, so the prospects are absolutely fine."

“What about production costs?”

"The specific cost depends on what kind of raw materials are used, but if you really type it with a computer and then use a printing press to print it directly, I probably won't cost more than 3 yuan."

3 yuan is just a production cost, and other costs such as marketing, transportation and management are added. Du Qiu estimated it and felt that the final cost might be around 5 yuan. So he wrote a note in the meeting record book and asked the next question: "Wenxiu, what do you think of the price situation you are investigating?"

Su Wenxiu took out his notepad and reported: "I have traveled through several universities in Yuncheng these days and found that notepads cost from 2 yuan to 30 yuan, but the best sales are concentrated between 6 yuan and 10 yuan. Students under 6 yuan think the grade is too low, and students over 10 yuan think it is too expensive. Our notepads have their own characteristics and are of better quality, so I think it is better to take the high-end and boutique route, and the price is more appropriate to be priced at 10 yuan."

"Xiuxiu, we want to push the notepad to the whole country, and we can't just look at the data of Yuncheng." Wang Huihui thought a little far away and asked: "Didn't Jiang Danfeng booked 200 books from you? How much does she plan to sell them?"

"I called her in the afternoon and asked her. She said that there are many rich students in Beijing and are planning to sell 18 yuan per book." Su Wenxiu had a strange smile on her face and broke the news: "She also said that the Fusheng Ruomeng written by Du Qiu is very popular. Several classmates want to buy it, and the highest price is 70 yuan."

Because I felt something when writing, life is like a dream, and the eight words "Happy" are Du Qiu's best performance before the Spring Festival. He has both spirit and form and full of spirit and charm. He is not the kind of perfunctory flower stand. After writing, he has a little urge to stay and use it. However, after practicing hard in his hometown, his realm has become much higher and he no longer cares about the previous calligraphy. He asked with a smile: "Then has she sold it?"

"No, she said she would sell the 200 ordered items after they arrived. Now she will put them in the dormitory for people to visit as a promotional advertisement."

"She is such a business talent."

"How about this, we set the wholesale price at 10 yuan, and the retail price is decided by the seller themselves. This not only facilitates statistics, but also passes on the transportation cost."

"It's OK."

After discussing all the details, several people raised their hands to pass the plan written by Du Qiu, which determined the future development direction of the company, and then began to study the next key issue: the company's registered capital.

"Du Qiu, your plan is very good, it's too expensive. Not to mention anything else, the advertising fee alone costs more than 100,000, right? How can we get that much money!"

"We can snowball it, first advertise in Yuncheng local newspapers, sell a batch of products, and after making money, we can go to provincial newspapers to advertise, and then go to newspapers across the country to advertise, and so on."

"Even so, including the expenses such as venue, machines, raw materials, and workers' wages, I think it will cost at least 100,000 yuan." Wang Huihui hesitated and calculated it on the paper with a pencil, saying, "Wenhai and I can only take out at most 20,000 yuan. Where are you in Wenxiu?"

"I'm almost twenty thousand yuan."

"I'll solve the remaining 40,000." Du Qiu deliberately made the project to hike everyone's appetite, which was to raise the capital threshold to obtain controlling rights, and at the same time introduce new investors to mix sand into the company. At this time, it was natural, so he said in a very natural way: "My sister should have some spare money. I'll go back tonight and ask her if she is interested. If she is interested, she will also invest 20,000 yuan. If she is not interested, I will borrow 20,000 yuan from her."

Du Chunhua performed very well last time to send Spring Festival couplets, which left a deep impression on the three partners. Not only did he not object, but he was very happy. Su Wenxiu even applauded gently and said with a smile: "Sister Chunhua's calligraphy is so good. If you are willing to invest and help, our business will definitely go to the next level."

In the time and space before traveling through time, Du Chunhua resigned from the Youth Palace in 2002 and opened a cultural and creative company with a few friends, mainly designing products related to calligraphy. Before his death, he dared not say that he earned one million yuan a year, but there were still 500,000 or 600,000 yuan. The notepad business was created by Du Qiu by accident. It is impossible for him to always focus on this in the future. His mother has the ability and is interested in running a career in this area. It is better to take the opportunity to bring people in and give her a stage to truly realize her self-worth.

"I have something else to say about registered capital." Du Qiu leaned over and put away the five design drawings on his desk, held them in his hand, and said: "According to the decision of the last salary meeting, Wenxiu has a production bonus, and Brother Hai and Sister Huihui have sales commissions. The design takes a lot of energy and time. I don't have time to do sales, so I have nothing, and I only get a dead salary of 300 yuan a month. This is not fair, so I think these designs should be taken out separately and converted into shares or funds. What do you think?"

The three partners did not object to this, but no one could tell how many shares and how much money they were converted into. After a while of silence, Du Qiu himself suggested: "How about this, I will sell the design to the company by authorized production, and the sales price is linked to sales volume, with 50,000 books as a ladder. If you sell less than 50,000 books, each book will be charged a 5% design fee. If you sell 50,000 books, each book will be charged a 6% design fee. If you sell 100,000 books, you will be charged a 7% design fee. And so on, 8% capping, how about it?"

Su Wenhai was relatively careless. He felt that this method was the same as sales commission and there was no difference, so he nodded and said, "I think it's OK."

Wang Huihui was smarter and heard something wrong and asked: "How to authorize it? Is it permanent authorization or limited time authorization?"

"We are all talking on paper now. No one knows whether the ratio is reasonable or not. If it is lower, I will suffer a loss, and if it is higher, everyone will suffer a loss." Du Qiu said slowly as if he was considering everyone, "So I think it is better to sign a one-year authorization agreement first. If everyone thinks it is appropriate after the expiration next year, sign a permanent authorization agreement. If it is not suitable, sign a limited-time authorization agreement and adjust it every few years."

He looked around the office, and then said a few heart-to-heart talks: "I am the founder and one of the major shareholders of the company. I am also very good friends with you. Whether it is interests or feelings, this authorization agreement will never be given to others except our company. This is mainly for fairness, so as not to cause disputes or get hurt in the future due to money."

"I think Du Qiu is right. We are now going to register a formal company and advertise on TV. We are not doing small businesses like the previous ones that cost hundreds or thousands of yuan a day." Su Wenxiu didn't say anything before. At this time, she supported Du Qiu and analyzed: "If the notepad can really sell more than 200,000 copies as my brother expected, based on the wholesale price of 10 yuan per copy, each percentage point is more than 20,000 yuan, which is not a small amount, it is better to be cautious."

Su Wenhai was irresistible, while Wang Huihui was a little reluctant, but in the end he nodded in agreement with the proposal.

Since everyone contributed 20,000 yuan, the equity is still equal to everyone, accounting for 20%, but the situation has changed. There is one more Du Chunhua among the shareholders and Su Wenxiu is also an ally. Coupled with the production authorization agreement, Du Qiu has completely controlled the situation and is no longer afraid of other partners being distorted.

Although Su Wenhai always combines feelings and work, his professional quality is still very high. He knows the printing industry very well and takes the initiative to talk about the last issue: "In the early days, we could outsource production to the school printing factory, and then buy machines and factories by ourselves after the capital turnover is opened. Although the machines in the printing factory are a bit old, they are well maintained and the printing quality is absolutely up to standard. Moreover, they have business dealings with many paper mills, so they can borrow their tiger skins to reduce procurement costs."

He stopped to smoke a cigarette, then laughed proudly, and joked: "Before the Spring Festival, my dad plagiarized our creativity and made notepads, I was so angry that I had a big fight with him. Looking back now, my dad was really good at it. If I had known that we would do big business, I would have helped train skilled workers a month in advance."

Several people laughed, and the atmosphere became easier after laughing. They quickly discussed the details about production and office. Before the meeting, Du Qiu suddenly said, "Sister Huihui, can I give you a suggestion?"

"What?"

"We are now regular. Not only do we have to recruit full-time salesmen, but we will also be responsible for the finances. So I think..." Du Qiu deliberately pondered for a moment, then looked at Wang Huihui and said, "I think you should concentrate on working in the tax bureau and sprint for your career. You can get dividends on time every month, and with Brother Hai behind the scenes, and there is no need for money. Maybe you will become a section chief in two or three years. Having a partner who is a leader in the tax bureau is a major benefit to the entire company."

Wang Huihui smiled reluctantly and said, "There is no easy task for the section chief. Our current section chief was only in his 40s. I just started working last year. If I want to be the section chief, I have to last for more than ten years."

Du Qiu had completely distrust Wang Huihui and was determined to kick her out of the company's daily operations, so he increased his bargaining chips and said, "You are a serious college student, and your academic qualifications are not bad. How can those old antiques compare with you? Tax filing is a technical job, and there is a difference between someone and no one. For the long-term interests of the company, after the capital turnover is opened, we can set up a small treasury internally to help you with relationships."

Seeing that Wang Huihui's expression was a little shaken, he added another fire and said, "Although my sister doesn't know any big leaders, she knows many wives of leaders and wives. You can ask them to help blow the pillow wind. You don't lack anything now, you only lack an opportunity. If you get along with the right leader, work harder and get some results, it will not be difficult to be promoted to the section chief within a few years."

Wang Huihui was completely moved, her eyes flashed, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Okay, I will concentrate on my work in the future. Except for holding a shareholders' meeting, I will not be able to work part-time at any time."

The technology, shares and finance are all mastered, and there is only one person's power left yet...
