Li Mengxue held up the development plan she had written for the past few years and said, "After the Spring Festival this year, we will be in our senior year. In our last year, we will have a heavier workload. This year, we will still be conservative in the development of our clothing store. We will start opening branches after we graduate and have enough staff."

Nowadays, universities guarantee job assignments for graduates, especially those in the capital. Graduates are sought after by everyone, so it is not the case that there are few classes in the senior year. It is time to look for jobs and internships, as the study workload is not less at all.

Section 269

"However, not opening a branch does not mean that we will not expand our business. Some customers have previously told us that we still do not have enough styles of clothes. Although we have new models every season, there are not many. So even though we will not open a branch next year, we still have to consider adding more styles. Although the response to children's clothing is not as good as that of adult women's and men's clothing, the sales are still good. This year we are considering formally setting up a children's clothing area." Li Mengxue added.

"Will the store be too crowded? Customers may not have a good shopping experience," Qian Duoduo said. "In fact, some old customers already feel that there are too few fitting rooms in the store. The fitting rooms covered by curtains are not safe when there are many people in the store. If you come alone, you will always worry that someone will open the curtain when you change clothes. The store sells both men's and women's clothing, which is not very convenient."

Li Mengxue nodded: "Then we will expand the storefront of the main store. Qingqing, No. 9 Jinma Street is your Comrade Yun's, can you rent it to us? But we may need to break through the wall in the middle."

"I'll go back and talk to him, it should be possible," Yi Qingqing said.

Li Mengxue wrote this down on paper: "When the time comes, we will open up the two sides and separate the women's clothing area, men's clothing area and children's clothing area. In addition, we will directly transform the back hall of No. 9 Jinma Street into a fitting area, and update it into a small wooden fitting room. Install a latch behind the door and a row of mirrors. Put a few benches outside the fitting area for the guests who come with them to sit and wait. This should be enough. However, the store is too big, and you, Duoduo, may not be able to take care of it alone. You need to hire one or two more employees."

"Okay, leave it to me," Qian Duoduo promised, patting his chest.

"Then I will be responsible for contacting Hai City. We will definitely purchase more goods this year, and maybe they can give us some discounts," said Wang Lingling.

"In addition, although we are not considering opening branches this year, we can make some preparations in advance for expanding the company's business after graduation. I suggest that we take out a portion of the profits this year and use it specifically to buy one or two shops and land in the suburbs in the imperial capital and Hai City. The shops can be used to open branches, and the land can be used to build factories in the future. The earlier you buy, the more cost-effective it is, as it can save on future expansion costs, and you don't have to buy too much at once. In the next few years, you can set aside a portion of the funds every day to buy." Li Mengxue had this idea a long time ago. She herself was rushing to buy land and wait for it to appreciate. Since she was going to start a big company, why not also occupy the land in advance?

"This is a good idea," Wang Lingling and Qian Lailai nodded.

"Sister Duoduo, after we graduate in 1982, we will definitely start opening branches. If you recruit store clerks this year, please pay attention to training them. If they do a good job, they may be promoted to branch managers later. In addition, as the store expands, we need to recruit more garment workers to supply the stores below," Li Mengxue added when she remembered.

Qian Duoduo nodded: "I will choose the right person!"

Yi Qingqing listened carefully to the sisters' opinions throughout the whole process. The more she listened, the more she felt that it was not accidental that their store made money. They were all excellent talents! She lay down even more calmly without any pressure.

"That's about it. Come and calculate how much dividend we should get?" Li Mengxue said to Qian Lai.

Qian Lailai has a deep understanding of all aspects of commodity prices, solid basic skills, and can calculate very quickly: "In this case, we will use 25% as funds for the store to expand its operations this year, which is about 19,189.5 yuan, and the other 25% will be used to purchase stores or land in the capital and Haishi, which is also a budget of 19,189.5 yuan.

The final 50% is distributed as dividends, which is 38,379 yuan.”

Although the 10,000 yuan invested last year has been mostly spent, we still have a warehouse full of fabrics stored in the warehouse, so actually not 10,000 yuan was spent. This year's budget of 19,000 yuan is definitely enough.

As for buying stores and land, the market price of a two-story storefront in a good location in the capital is between 3,000 and 4,000, which has increased slightly, but the increase is not large. The land in the suburbs is even cheaper, and if you want to invest in building a factory, there are many policy supports.

The situation in Haishi is similar to this, and may even be cheaper.

If you calculate it this way, 19,000 yuan is about right.

Others had no doubts.

Only Qian Duoduo knew that the dividends were to be calculated. She was about to leave, but Wang Lingling, who was standing beside her, held her back and whispered to her, "Wait a moment. I need you for something else."

Qian Lailai continued, "Our company's capital share and human share are divided into 6:4. Comrade Yi Qingqing invested 7,000 yuan, accounting for 42% of the shares, making him the company's largest shareholder. The dividend this time is 16,119.18 yuan."

After she finished speaking, she counted out 16,119 yuan and 18 cents from the big bag on the table and placed it in front of Yi Qingqing: "You count it."

Yi Qingqing couldn't suppress the smile.

The return on investment is too high. A year ago, she took out 7,000 yuan, and now she has earned back her principal through dividends alone, and even earned more than 9,000 yuan for free.

With so much money, no wonder Li Mengxue told her to bring a bigger bag! She really picked up money with a sack.

Qian Lailai continued, "Comrade Li Mengxue invested 3,000 yuan, accounting for 18% of the shares. Another person invested 12% of the shares, accounting for a total of 30% of the shares. He is the second largest shareholder of the company, and the dividend this time is 11,513.7 yuan."

There was another pleasant sound of counting money, and Li Mengxue's CEO attitude disappeared without a trace: "Hehe~"

With this profit, anyone who wants to go to the black market can go, but she won’t go anyway!

Although the black market has almost become an open market now, the supply of goods is still very precious and is the easiest to be targeted.

"Comrade Qian Lailai invested in the company through human resources, accounting for 12% of the shares and receiving a dividend of 4,605.48 yuan; Comrade Wang Lingling invested in the company through human resources, accounting for 12% of the shares and receiving a dividend of 4,605.48 yuan."

Qian Lailai counted out two more portions of money and gave them to Wang Lingling and herself.

Wang Lingling held the money and laughed: "Haha, that's a lot of money! This is the first time I've received so much money!"

Qian Lailai nodded: "We can finally buy a house, haha!"
