Who doesn’t want to make money after being reborn?

Chapter 256 Net profit billion

Finances are a big issue.

Since starting his business, Luo Hui has always wanted Ruan Feng to take charge of finances, but he has not yet made a decision due to various problems.

no way.

Among the four founders, only Ruan Feng has relevant professional knowledge reserves, and the others are second-guessing.

Therefore, Luo Hui has always maintained a restrained attitude in the operation of the WeChat capital pool and has not fully utilized this huge capital pool to make profits.

Things are different when you have trusted professionals in charge.

If the huge capital pool is operated properly, the profits obtained far exceed advertising revenue.

The reason is not complicated.

The main reason is that the cost for domestic private enterprises to obtain funds is too high.

WeChat Capital Pool can accurately grasp this entry point and quickly support the development of many small and micro enterprises.

Then the loan and repayment cycle of these small and micro enterprises generates a steady stream of profits.

The domestic version of WeChat’s fund pool is supervised by independent directors dispatched by the central bank. Fund mobilization is relatively strict and the procedures are cumbersome.

However, the overseas version does not have this concern.

You can find any excuse to divert tens of billions of dollars into the operation of online merchant banks, and just divide a part of the profits generated.

Very convenient.

Before riding Zhang Long in, Luo Hui hurriedly explained how the WeChat fund pool operates.

Priority will only be given to domestic and GCC companies.

It is a project with controllable risks.

"Chairman, Mr. Ruan."

Zhang Long greeted him politely as he walked in, sat down at his desk, opened his laptop and began to report: "The development plan for next year is mainly to dig deeper into the '100,000 Master Classes' project, and use this as a guide to completely activate the vitality of the knowledge payment project. "

"All marketing plans are basically operated around the brand of 'One Hundred Thousand Master Classes'."

"..."

As usual, Luo Hui recorded the key points of Zhang Long's report on his laptop and declined to comment.

They planned it very well.

It’s not aggressive and it’s executable. The rest depends on the final profitability.

Next year will be a harvest year for WeChat, and the dividends will not be lower than this year no matter what.

not to mention.

This year he has received more than 5 billion in dividends, which can be regarded as serious investment income.

After paying personal income tax, there will be about 3 billion left.

He is quite content.

After Zhang Long finished his report, Luo Hui slowly spoke: "Mr. Zhang, I want to tell you a preliminary decision, and I hope to ask for your opinion."

"Chairman, please tell me."

"Mr. Ruan is ready to resign and hand over the position of president of the overseas version of WeChat to you concurrently. He is the CFO of ByteDance Group and the financial operations officer of WeChat."

"what?"

"This is what Mr. Ruan just mentioned. He mainly wants to see your personal thoughts. If you agree, we will convene a board meeting to approve it and you can take office."

"Chairman, Mr. Ruan, do you trust me so much?"

I thought of it too!

He is originally a senior executive of Penguin Group, but it is too much to concurrently serve as the general manager of the domestic version of WeChat.

Now he also serves as the president of the overseas version of WeChat... Why does it sound so unreliable?

Are you really not afraid that I am a spy?

Zhang Long's eyes widened.

A look of disbelief in his eyes.

Ruan Feng and Luo Hui laughed dumbly, and Ruan Feng explained: "Don't have any worries, Mr. Zhang. The reason why I resigned is not because of you, but because the management position is not suitable for my major. If I am engaged in finance, I will be more professional." .”

Really?

Zhang Long turned to look at Luo Hui.

Luo Hui nodded: "Yes, I asked Mr. Ruan to manage the overseas version of WeChat. The main reason was that there was no reliable manpower at that time. I see that you are very concerned about WeChat, so I recommended you to manage the overseas version of WeChat."

"Since the two bosses trust me so much, I won't be polite!"

Zhang Long put his heart in his stomach.

Let out a long breath.

"Then it's settled. You will hand over to Mr. Ruan later and take office. It seems that you should say hello to Mr. Ma. You can talk about it later. There shouldn't be anything too embarrassing."

Luo Hui was filled with joy.

Putting WeChat in the hands of its founder is actually the best choice, bar none.

Although it's a bit awkward to have little Ma in the middle, it's within the acceptable range.

Compared to Xiao Ma.

He believed in Zhang Long's professional ethics even more.

Besides, the financial power is in the hands of Ruan Feng and the R&D team is in Tian Chun, so there is nothing to worry about.

No matter how strong Zhang Long is.

It is also impossible to seize power under such circumstances.

The conversation ended quickly.

Wu Yang quickly pushed open the door and walked in: "Hey, Fengzi is here too."

"Mr. Wu, please recognize the reality. I will soon be the CFO of ByteDance Group and the CFO of WeChat Finance. I will have financial power in my hands. If you mess with me, you will never get a penny in the future."

Ruan Feng posed unceremoniously and acted like a CFO.

As a native, he speaks very casually.

"God of Wealth! You have to lick it. Before licking it, you have to give me some benefits, right? Don't ask for more, give me 300 million first. I want to develop a large-scale game."

Wu Yang acted like a dog, moved his seat and asked for money.

Forget about reporting to work.

Luo Hui couldn't stand it.

He interrupted directly: "Split the money, split the money, split the money! "Call of Allah" has made a lot of money this year, please give me the dividends first and then we can talk about developing large-scale games."

"hey-hey!"

Wu Yang laughed evilly, opened his laptop, and showed the densely packed tables to the two of them: "This is this year's financial statement." "The total revenue of this game is US$22 billion."

"The initial investment in R&D and publicity is about one billion US dollars."

"Here are the detailed data."

"Then, the monthly server rental and cloud computing service rental costs are approximately US$60 million."

"There will be a mess of event fees and sponsorship fees later, which will cost a total of US$300 million."

"Operating expenses are $1.2 billion."

"..."

"The total net profit is 18.7 billion."

"My opinion is that 1.7 billion in net profits should be handed over to the group or directly distributed as dividends."

"Leave US$1.7 billion as research and development expenses to continue investing in other game development projects."

Good guy.

The profitability of a game is actually eight times more than WeChat’s!

A pure gold money printing machine!

The crazy profitability scared Ruan Feng: "You didn't lie to me, did you?"

While questioning, he reached out and grabbed Wu Yang's laptop to examine it carefully.

Luo Hui was mentally prepared.

We know that princes have very strong spending power, and we also know that Wu Yang has deep attainments in the gaming field.

This result is no surprise.

It's just... I still can't believe it when a net profit of 18 billion US dollars is hit on my head.

Original time and space.

This profit margin is the total profit of several domestic online game companies after deeply exploring the Middle East.

Now being eaten by myself?

It feels a little unreal.

...can barely hold on: "If you pay dividends directly, you have to pay 45% tax. It is better to hand over part of the profits to the main group as the next step of real estate investment funds."

"How much to keep?"

Wu Yang put away his triumphant expression and turned to look at Luo Hui.

It's still the boss who resists.

Look at that useless guy Ruan Feng.

I was stunned by the net profit of US$17 billion.

"Two billion US dollars! We cannot hide the fact that we are making money this year. We have to do something to give back to our hometown, relatives and friends. Spending money is inevitable."

"I have no problem! Two billion U.S. dollars can be converted into almost 14.5 billion soft girl coins. I can get 700 million, which is enough for expenses."

"Then it's settled."

"The "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" you requested has completed preliminary development. The problem now is that current smartphones cannot support game operation, only Ai Crazy 4 can."

"It's okay. We will continue to optimize the game, improve the details, and make careful adjustments for a year. It is estimated that the smartphones released next year will be able to support the operation of games like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds."

"I have decided to suspend the development of Honor of Kings."

"Do you have any idea?"

“Let’s create another PC online game.”

"Damn it, the Middle East market has been taken care of by us. It doesn't seem appropriate to develop another one, right?"

"No, this time it is not for the Middle East market, but for the global market."

"What do you mean?"

"I want to develop a PC online game called "Flower Planting Civilization" based on the background of our ancient history and mythology."

"This is a good idea! There are many people who are curious about our country's culture. We can use games to create a wave of cultural output."

"That's what I thought."

"No problem, I support this."

"I have a little question."

"explain."

"Our country's image in Western media is not very good. What should we do if the market is cold?"

"Don't be afraid! Black fans are also fans. As long as the game is beautifully made, they will be immersed in it and cannot extricate themselves."

"One more question."

"You can finish it in one go."

"The last question: Is this game paid or free? Free online games are a major trend in China, so I'm a little hesitant."

“What’s free is the most expensive, so let’s get it free.”

"No problem."

"..."

During the communication between the two, Ruan Feng quickly completed the financial review.

Wu Yang put down the computer with almost a fit of laughter: "Hey! It's really profitable to play online games! One game actually makes more money than the entire WeChat company."

"We just discussed that the dividend will only be divided into two billion US dollars, and the remaining US$15 billion will be turned over to the main group to inject capital into real estate projects."

"No problem, no problem. I don't have a high need for money. I can just spend a few hundred million on it. What's more, there are dividends from TT and Today's Hot Topics. It's no problem if my after-tax income exceeds 2 billion this year."

"Okay, that's settled then."

Wu Yang didn't leave either.

He continued to stay in the office, chatting with Luo Hui and Ruan Feng, and used his mobile phone to notify Meng Yuhan to report to work.

Ok?

Such a big battle?

Meng Yuhan pushed the door open and was startled by the sight of the three founders sitting side by side in front of her.

She didn't expect that she would be greeted by three founders.

I couldn't help but become nervous.

He timidly raised his head and asked: "Then... then what, is today a three-chamber trial?"

"Yes, the guillotine is ready. Please explain it honestly. After you explain it, we will send you on your way."

Luo Hui happily recruited her and motioned for her to sit close and report.
