Chapter 319 How Much Money Do I Have?
The next morning, at half past six, the temperature in Linchuan, which had been high, suddenly turned cloudy. A howling wind blew across the campus, and before long, a drizzle of rain fell on the windowsill, instantly sweeping away the remaining heat of late summer.
Jiang Qin got up from the bed, washed up and left the dormitory.
Because it was Saturday morning, there were not many people on campus. There were only a few scattered morning joggers on the playground. However, because it suddenly started to rain, these morning joggers soon left one after another.
Boss Jiang came to the cafeteria, ate a simple basket of buns, bought a cup of soy milk, and walked to Room 208.
Of course there is work to be done when you are full in the morning.
So far, Zhihu's national promotion plan has been completed, the university towns in the six target cities have all been captured, and the short video traffic diversion work has also begun to get on the right track. It is time to start checking the accounts.
After all, the subsequent promotion will be more scattered and there will be more places to spend money. It is very important to understand your own scale for the subsequent planning.
Of course, Jiang Qin now also wants to know how rich I am.
Not long after, Xu Yu arrived at Room 208, followed by five people, who were members of the cashier team and the accounting team.
The frontier condition for a company to move towards formalization is the formalization of financial management. Jiang Qin is now making changes in this direction to separate money and accounts.
After all, 208's profitability is getting stronger and stronger, and the volume of its working capital is getting bigger and bigger. The more formal this aspect is, the more beneficial it will be for fund management in the later stages of development.
"Good morning, boss."
Jiang Qin nodded: "Let's start checking the accounts."
Xu Yu sat down with the members of the two teams, took out the account sheets and calculator, opened the cashier details in the computer, and began to check all the accounts.
As a series of clicking sounds and the mechanical electronic broadcasting sounds from the calculator rang out, Jiang Qin discovered that the amount recorded by Xu Yu was getting bigger and bigger. Although he appeared calm on the surface, like a cool and aloof male god, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
He has an estimated value for his wealth, and the current eight-digit figure has exceeded his previous estimate.
But soon, the number began to decrease, and it kept getting smaller and smaller.
At 11:30 am, under the leadership of Xu Yu, the account audit work of 208 was completed. The entire audit took nearly four hours, and the members of the two teams were so tired that they kept shaking their hands.
This is because Jiang Qin has many profitable projects under his control, including commissions from group buying, Zhihu advertising, profits from Xitian milk tea shops, etc.
They cleared the unpaid accounts payable, calculated the net profit for the month, and finally got an accurate number - four and a half million.
When Jiang Qin saw this number, he felt as if he had gone back to the time before liberation overnight. This number was so familiar. He checked the account in the beginning of spring and it seemed to be the same number.
"What's the situation with the 30 million just now?"
“It’s the total profit of all projects added together.”
"What about those minus signs at the end?"
"It is the amount of your investment and promotion expenses in the past six months, as well as the cost of team operations."
Xu Yu printed out the detailed list and placed it in front of Jiang Qin so that he could clearly see every payment.
This includes investment in Wanzhong Group, the specific expenses for the nationwide promotion of Zhihu users, four university town teams, a group buying branch, and the rental, decoration and operating costs of 11 milk tea shops.
After adding and subtracting, the accounts returned to the beginning of spring this year, when spring returned to the earth, all things revived, grass grew, birds flew, and orioles sang and danced.
Although Jiang Qin knew that his accumulated assets had increased to tens of millions and his fixed assets were also increasing, but looking at the almost unchanged figures on the books, he still felt like he had been shouting for half a year but had not made a penny.
"That's it, it's good..."
"Then should we still tell others that we only made 450,000 yuan?" Xu Yu asked a key question.
After the account audit in the spring, Jiang Qin required that everyone speak with one voice internally and say that the profit of 4.05 million was 450,000, mainly to confuse the public and grow slowly until they become strong.
But this time, the situation is completely different.
Zhihu's nationwide promotion has achieved the first phase of its goals, and Jiang Qin has also used his strong personal charm to bind local companies in Linchuan, constantly building momentum and boasting about Zhihu's strong profitability, and the momentum is just right.
So let alone 450,000, even saying the amount of 4.05 million would be a bit embarrassing.
Of course, anyone with a discerning eye knows that 4.05 million is only the liquid funds in the accounts and does not represent the total assets. However, a large part of the total assets is used for secret layout, and the accounts cannot be made public.
Therefore, the only ones that can be shown to others are these 4.05 million.
Jiang Qin thought for a moment and said, "Let's make two copies of the account, one for the group purchase summary, and one for Zhihu."
After hearing this, Xu Yu was stunned for three seconds: "Didn't we just finish it?"
"Your conventional approach is a bit too honest, not at all frivolous. In this way, you can include the operating costs of the four universities and the branch operating costs into the cost of group buying, and then include the costs of Zhihu and group buying that have overlapping businesses into group buying."
"Then we take out a portion of the profits from group buying as promotion costs and include them in Zhihu's profits."
Under Jiang Qin's guidance, the cashier team and the accounting team started to recalculate and tabulate. The total amount they obtained was still 4.05 million, but the classified account table had undergone earth-shaking changes.
The profit of group buying went from 16 million to 450,000, and Zhihu included the promotion costs of group buying, with a total profit of 8.3 million. After deducting the operating costs and promotion expenses of 3.8 million, the remaining amount was 3.6 million, accounting for about 80% of the balance of the account.
Among them, the investment in Wanzhong’s shares was classified under the group-buying account and was counted as fixed assets and not included in the general ledger.
As a result, group buying has gone from making crazy profits to barely maintaining its operations, while Zhihu has performed brilliantly and has great potential for making money.
"Okay, let's use the second ranking list when we announce it to the public. Zhihu is awesome, and group buying is rubbish."
Xu Yu swallowed his saliva, thinking that the boss was forcing group buying to stop making money and turn Zhihu from loss to profit: "Boss, this report may not fool professionals."
"It doesn't matter. After the test of time, people won't remember the numbers. They will only remember that group buying barely survived, and Zhihu has great potential. That's enough. As for some potential competitors, even if they understand the tricks, they will just laugh at us."
"I see."
Jiang Qin nodded, then sat in the boss chair and fell into thought.
Now there is only more than 4 million yuan of disposable funds, which is enough for the subsequent promotion of Zhihu, but the problem is that you can't spend all the money on this, after all, the operating cost of group buying is also a big part.
It seems that I need to save some money from other people's pockets again.
Jiang Qin's performance at the cocktail party yesterday was very good, and his image as a guide has been established, especially the scene when the rich young woman came to pick him up, with a Rolls-Royce leading the way, which was very shocking.
Now, it’s time to take some money from everyone’s pockets.
Jiang Qin turned on his computer and quickly wrote out a Zhihu first-stop marketing plan. To put it simply, Zhihu's national promotion has begun to show results, and I plan to use Zhihu's current influence to promote the brands of our strategic partners.
Of course, free is impossible. I believe everyone knows that there is no good thing for free.
After Boss Jiang wrote the draft, the first brand he thought of was Jiaduoji.
The bosses in Linchuan should all know by now that Jiaduoji has received a promotion plan tailored for him by Jiang Qin. In this case, there must be many people looking forward to Jiaduoji's next performance.
Jiang Qin decided to use Mr. Liu as an example to set a precedent for the wealthy people in Linchuan.
However, things in the world are full of coincidences. Just as Boss Jiang had this idea, he received a call from Liu Jiaming.
"Mr. Jiang, I'm really sorry. I was too excited last night and ran away without having time to explain in detail. When are you free? Let's have a meal together and discuss the planning fee."
"Mr. Liu is too polite. I like to make friends with like-minded people. Talking about money right away is too vulgar. It's not my style."
"I know that Mr. Jiang is kind and righteous. He directly provided the planning ideas without even discussing the conditions. The more Mr. Jiang does this, the more I feel I should be grateful."
Liu Jiaming was indeed too excited last night. After leaving the cocktail party, he went straight back to the company and began to instruct his secretary to make phone calls.
That night, Jiaduoji's management worked overtime to develop new promotional materials and determine the design concept of the new packaging. Only after this part of the work was completed did Liu Jiaming have time to ask He Yijun for Jiang Qin's phone number.
So, they scheduled the meeting time for 7 o'clock tonight. The two met in Longkai, and He Yijun accompanied them as the introducer.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Qin smiled slightly and thought that Mr. Liu's call was quite timely, otherwise if I created a Wang Laobao, wouldn't you cry to death?
He reached out and took a piece of paper from the table, folded a paper airplane, and threw it out through the window.
This action actually reflects his current state of mind, sailing with the wind and flying farther and farther.
"Hey, where is the document on the latest management regulations for the entrepreneurship base that I put on the table?"
At this moment, Professor Yan pushed the door open and walked in. Looking at the empty table, a look of confusion appeared on his face.
Ever since he came here to enjoy the air conditioning during the summer vacation, Lao Yantou has never gone back. After all, September is not over yet and the weather is still hot, so he usually works here.
Yesterday afternoon, he spent three hours writing a set of the latest management regulations for the entrepreneurship base. He had planned to arrange a student to help input it into the computer today, and then print it out and distribute it to various activity classrooms. But how come the work was wasted in just one night?
Hearing this, Jiang Qin stopped smiling and turned to look out the window: "Professor, do you believe that it might have grown wings and flown away?"
"Nonsense, come over here and help me find it!"
"Why don't we look outside? I don't think it's likely we'll find it in the house."
"I left it in the house yesterday. How could it have escaped?"
Back in Shenzhen, the bed was moldy, so I went out to stay in a hotel. It was awesome! (End of this chapter)
