Chapter 955 Acquisition of another private high school
After returning to Hangzhou and sitting in the familiar Volkswagen, Zhou Anan looked at the familiar night scene rapidly receding outside the car window, and an inexplicable feeling came over her heart.
He found himself free.
Today is August 2nd, the last day of the summer classes at Zhuangyuan Education and Training Department. After getting off the plane, Zhou Anan rushed back to Lucheng overnight, just in time to take his girlfriend out for a midnight snack.
"Thank you all for your hard work this month. Next, Manager Chen will announce the list of outstanding teachers for the first half of the year."
Another morning, sitting in the large conference room of Zhuangyuan Education's Donghai Building branch, Zhou Anan looked at the packed room of girls and expressed a simple emotion.
Everything is fake, only money is real.
They are a training department serving students and there is no need for them to go through the motions like formal schools.
"Ten outstanding full-time teachers in the first half of the year will be awarded 20,000 yuan each. The list is as follows. Ten most popular full-time teachers in the first half of the year will be awarded 10,000 yuan each. The list is as follows."
Turning on the microphone in front of her, Chen Rou didn't say much and directly announced the list of winners of the full-time teacher award.
Different from the assessment system of the previous two years, the assessment of Zhuangyuan Education is now becoming more and more perfect. The requirements for full-time and part-time teachers are very high, and the corresponding salaries, bonuses and benefits have also increased a lot.
In the first half of the year, the average salary of full-time teachers has exceeded 40,000, which is much higher than that of regular teachers in the same period.
Of course, just like the regular school teachers have year-end bonuses, Zhuangyuan Education’s full-time teachers also have some.
Moreover, full-time teachers work much less hours on weekdays than formal teachers, which means they are a little busier on weekends. They do not have the complicated extracurricular affairs like those in regular schools, but their salary is not bad at all. This is also the biggest attraction of Zhuangyuan Education for graduates of normal schools.
Some teacher training students from remote mountainous areas make joining Zhuangyuan Education their first goal after graduation.
After Manager Chen finished speaking, He Yuanyuan, the head of the Donghai branch, continued to announce the list of award-winning part-time teachers: "Ten outstanding part-time teachers in the first half of the year will be awarded 10,000 yuan each. The list is as follows. Ten most popular part-time teachers in the first half of the year will be awarded 5,000 yuan each. The list is as follows"
"Hualala"
After He Yuanyuan finished reading, hundreds of people in the audience burst into warm applause.
Although the awards given to part-time teachers were much lower than those given to full-time teachers, there were basically no complaints from those present.
The more you work, the more you earn. The workload of full-time teachers is much greater than that of part-time teachers.
After the meeting, Zhou Anan came to the office and handed two file bags to the two people respectively: "We agreed at the annual meeting that each person will have a car. Someone will contact you to register the license plate later."
At the annual meeting at the beginning of the year, Zhou Anan promised that if the profit in the first half of this year could increase by more than 15% compared with the same period last year, he would reward the two of them with a car each.
At that time, Zhou Anan also specifically asked the two about their favorite colors.
Now that the growth rate has exceeded 20%, Zhou Anan, who has a larger balance in her account, naturally will not be stingy.
Each of them had an Audi A4, and there was no favoritism, except that Chen Rou's was the top configuration, while He Yuanyuan's was the high configuration.
Since there is no Audi 4S store in Lucheng, these two cars were transferred from Lizhou, and the license plates were registered by local personnel.
To this end, Village Chief Zhou is also planning to open an Audi 4S store in Haizhou, and the site selection and application to Audi headquarters are both in progress at the same time.
"Thank you, boss."
After receiving the reward from their boss, Chen Rou and the other person did not act pretentiously and expressed their gratitude in unison.
"Thank you for your hard work during this period. Take a good rest in August."
"yes."
After securing the rewards for the two responsible persons, Zhou Anan also rushed to Haizhou city to check on the situation of the Haizhou branch.
This year's Haizhou branch has achieved tremendous development. Not only has the venue size doubled, it has also been divided into primary and middle school departments. The number of students and revenue have nearly tripled compared to last year.
Zhou Anan was not stingy and directly gave the property she bought at the beginning of the year as a reward to Chu Huizhen, the head of the Haizhou branch.
The 130-square-meter property was worth 350,000 yuan at the beginning of the year, and now it has increased to about 500,000 yuan. Compared with the exaggerated increase of more than two times in Lizhou, the increase is already small.
"Mr. Zhou, I hope to add a person in charge of the primary school department. I may not be able to manage the entire Haizhou branch with my own energy."
Chu Huizhen took the heavy document bag and carefully considered her words with great excitement. She took the initiative to propose adding a person in charge of the primary school department, which could be regarded as a way to share the power in her hands.
"Sister Huizhen, don't be too modest. The two branches are just neighbors. With your ability, you can definitely manage it well. However, in order to prevent you from being too tired, I will ask Manager Chen to send a management staff to assist you in managing the primary school department."
Hearing the other party's humility and concerns, Zhou Anan first comforted the other party, but also took the opportunity to insert a manager.
Don't tempt anyone with money. The income of the Haizhou branch has now reached one-third of the two branches in Lucheng, and it may continue to increase in the future. Chen Rou, who is far away in Lucheng, is sometimes out of reach.
Adding a manager without depriving Chu Huizhen of the power to manage the two branches in Haizhou can be considered a simple balance.
Of course, with dedicated financial personnel and an external auditing company, Zhou Anan does not need to worry about these persons in charge embezzling funds.
The only thing we need to worry about is that the person in charge will start a new business and affect the development of Zhuangyuan Education.
However, Zhou Anan was not too worried about this. The reputation of Zhuangyuan Education is now deeply rooted in the hearts of parents of primary and secondary schools in Haizhou area.
What's more, although Zhuangyuan Education's business is so good and its summer classes are almost running at full capacity, it only accounts for less than one-tenth of the entire Haizhou area's training business, which is not worth mentioning at all.
Even if the worst case scenario occurs, the departure of a responsible person will not affect the overall situation, and someone else can be arranged to take over at any time.
"Thank you Mr. Zhou for your trust."
Listening to the other party's arrangements, Chu Huizhen had no objections in her mind and was secretly relieved.
The rapid development of the Haizhou branch of Zhuangyuan Education also caught her, the person in charge, off guard. She was really afraid that the young boss would replace her at the last minute and make her lose this hard-earned job.
Now it seems that some of her worries were unnecessary.
The other party sent a manager over, which made Chu Huizhen feel relieved. At least she was the only candidate for the head of the Haizhou branch.
Zhou Anan spent most of the day handling the training department affairs in Haizhou area. Professor Mei, who has experience and rich resources in Hangzhou, was in charge. Zhou Anan was relieved that he was only responsible for collecting money.
On the way back to Lucheng, Zhou Anan received a rather unexpected call.
"Mr. Zhou, there is news about the Lizhou Senior High School that you asked me to pay attention to."
"Tell me about it."
Hearing Liao Cheng's words, Zhou Anan subconsciously sat up straight, and then leaned gracefully on the back seat.
Whenever something big happens, one must remain calm. Besides, it is just an ordinary private high school in my hometown, there is nothing to make a fuss about.
Compared with the original Yuren High School in Hangzhou, the private high school in Lizhou’s hometown is completely incomparable in size.
"Xiancheng Industrial, the major shareholder of Lizhou Senior High School, has run into capital problems and is preparing to sell its 65% stake. It has contacted many people, but not many are willing to take over. According to the information I have received, Xiancheng Industrial holds 80% of the shares of Lizhou Senior High School, and the price of the 65% stake they are preparing to sell is about 30 million yuan."
Knowing the big boss's style, Liao Cheng quickly introduced the situation he had learned so far.
"30 million."
Zhou Anan suddenly felt that this price was too cheap.
You know, more than ten years later, the school selection fee for freshmen at Lizhou Senior High School every year is more than this amount.
However, there are now more than a dozen public high schools in various towns and villages in Lizhou. Although Lizhou Senior High School is located in the urban area, it is ranked last among all high schools in the urban area and basically has no outstanding achievements.
There are three private high schools in Lizhou, all located in the urban area of Lizhou. The other two private high schools with good teaching results have made a lot of money from collecting school selection fees.
Lizhou Senior High School, whose college entrance examination results were not satisfactory, was squeezed out by public high schools in various towns and villages. The admission scores for freshmen were relatively low, and most of the students did not need to pay school selection fees. Even if they wanted to buy a ticket, they could get in by paying two to three thousand yuan.
It was not until 2016 that the Lizhou Municipal Government abolished all township public high schools and integrated them into the Sixth High School. As a result, a large number of Lizhou junior high school graduates faced the fate of being eliminated and sent to vocational high schools.
After the integration, there are only six general high schools in Lizhou, which can only accommodate more than 4,000 junior high school graduates. However, every year, there are as many as 7,000 junior high school graduates in Lizhou who take the high school entrance examination. Even the only vocational high school is being rushed by people who use connections and gifts in advance.
At that time, Lizhou Senior High School suddenly found itself to be a popular commodity. After a year of silence, it raised its price in the second year.
Not only has the admission line been raised by 40 points, but the school selection fees are also charged in different tiers, with the highest being 60,000, and they are collected exorbitant amounts every year.
"Xiancheng Industrial is in a hurry to sell and wants a full cash transaction. Few people in Lizhou are willing to take it over. If someone is willing to sell it now, the price should be able to be lowered a bit."
"No need to lower the price. Please help me contact them and I will buy out 80% of their shares for 40 million. Also, please find out who holds the remaining shares. I will buy them all at 500,000 per point."
After knocking on the handrail, Zhou Anan gave the other party an instruction.
Of course he couldn't miss such a great opportunity.
It just so happened that he had a sum of 90 million in funds. After the summer vacation classes were settled, Zhou Anan's idle funds had exceeded 120 million. He was worried about where to put them, so he wanted to take a nap, so he got a beautiful pillow.
With the experience of Mingli High School as a foundation, I believe that it will be easy for Professor Mei to tinker with the private high school in this small county.
Even if it is named as a branch of Hangzhou Mingli High School, the status of Lizhou Senior High School can be immediately raised by several levels. If one or two key classes are established to cultivate some achievements, the collection of school selection fees can be advanced by several years.
If they are willing to spend a lot of money on the renovation, the ranking of Lizhou private high schools may need to be adjusted in the future. At that time, the school selection fees collected each year will naturally be higher.
In this situation, Zhou Anan didn't want anyone to buy her shares first, nor did she want to leave too many shares in the hands of outsiders.
The best outcome, of course, is that he acquires all 100% of the shares.
"OK."
This was not the first time Liao Cheng had seen this big boss's generosity, so he was relatively calm.
However, he was still very excited when he thought that he could act as the other party's agent and negotiate a deal worth tens of millions with the local wealthy people in Lizhou.
"What's so happy about?"
While eating lunch, Shi Mingxia, sensing that her boyfriend was in a good mood, asked with a smile.
"There's a private high school in my hometown that's up for sale. I asked someone to inquire about it. If we buy it, we should be able to make money in a few years."
When Zhou Anan heard his girlfriend ask this, he answered without hiding anything.
“Oh, my husband is the best.”
Although she was not quite sure about the specific value of the private high school, Shi Mingxia knew that it was worth a lot of money, so she happily praised her boyfriend.
"When are you and Wang Min planning to go to Gusu for fun?"
After picking up a piece of braised pork for his girlfriend, Zhou Anan asked about her itinerary.
It was almost the same time that the Zhuangyuan Education summer school ended, and Zhou Anan's girlfriend, who had completed a one-month internship in a kindergarten, had some free time. Naturally, they had to put the trip they had planned before on the agenda, and she prepared the travel funds.
All the five-star hotels and resort villas are included in the trip. We only choose the good ones and not the bad ones.
"We will record it again this afternoon, and the data for the graduation thesis design experiment will be almost collected. I will help Teacher Qi organize the data, and we will decide on the time after next Wednesday."
Regarding his travel itinerary, Shi Mingxia was not in a hurry at all.
Anyway, she doesn't need to be like those travelers who have to calculate all the expenses and budget carefully. She can go whenever she wants.
It just so happened that she hadn't finished her school work these days, so she could stay with her boyfriend for a few more days.
"Well, I'll treat everyone to dinner. You've all been working hard during this period."
Thinking about how she had basically paid little attention to the graduation thesis design experiment, Zhou Anan felt that she should treat everyone to a meal to avoid people gossiping about her behind her back.
"Okay, I'll tell everyone in the group."
Shi Mingxia agreed with her boyfriend's approach very much. She picked up her phone and sent a message in the TT group, followed by a barrage of replies.
When the last experimental data was recorded in the afternoon, all six members of the group gathered together, including the boyfriends of two other girls who were not from the same major, who were probably there to eat for free.
"Okay, everyone has worked hard during this period. Let's pack up the experimental materials and go eat at Zhou Anan's house."
After putting the data file away, Qi Baoying clapped his hands and spoke to everyone present.
This wealthy student was treating her to a meal, so how could she, as the thesis supervisor, be absent? She would be busy with the subsequent data collation and analysis.
"good."
After hearing what Teacher Qi said, the team members cheered and started to pack up their things quickly, especially the two boyfriends from outside who were extremely active in the work.
In less than half an hour, everything was packed up and we were ready to set off by car.
The venue for Zhou Anan's dinner tonight is the buffet restaurant of Lucheng International Hotel. The price is 168 per person, which is considered the most high-end buffet in the area.
Originally, Zhou Anan was planning to book a private room at Lucheng International Hotel and treat everyone to a good meal. However, at the suggestion of a plump little burden, everyone unanimously chose the buffet, which saved him a lot of money.
If you order food in a private room, for 9 people at a table and choose a few better dishes, it will cost at least 2,000 yuan.
“Sizzle.”
Just as Zhou Anan got into her Maserati, her cell phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was a message from the beautiful tutor, asking if she could invite their counselor Cheng Zhen to go to the buffet together.
Can Zhou Anan, who still has one more year to stay at Haizhou University, refuse such a request?
"OK."
After replying with a positive message, Zhou Anan took his girlfriend and a couple who were not from the same major to Lucheng International Hotel.
"Zhou Anan, thank you for your treat."
At the entrance of the cafeteria, Cheng Zhen, who was walking arm in arm with Qi Baoying, saw his student and thanked him with a smile.
"It is my honor to invite you to dinner, teacher. I can't usually invite you."
In front of her own counselor, Zhou Anan was quite polite.
"Hahaha, I'll tell you, he must be very polite."
Qi Baoying, who was standing by, heard this and agreed with a smile.
If she hadn't met him on several blind dates and a few chance encounters before, she would have been too embarrassed to make such a joke with him.
After all, although the other party is still a senior student, he is already the boss of a training institution with hundreds of employees, and even the dean thinks highly of him.
"Mr. Zhou, what a coincidence."
Just as Zhou Anan and her companions walked into the buffet restaurant, a man and a woman carrying food trays came over. The gentle man with glasses greeted them with a smile.
