When will I have a long tassel?

Feihai Company's business scale has continued to expand in the past two years, and its permanent employees have increased to more than 200 people. It has specialized departments such as planning department, sales department, editorial department, and art department. With a large number of people and a growing reputation, the company naturally cannot continue to stay in an urban-rural fringe like Liulangzhuang. Last year, the company officially moved out of Liulangzhuang and rented an entire floor in a relatively high-end office building on Zhichun Road, covering an area of ​​more than 2,000 square meters. It looked like a big company.

Tang Zifeng took the elevator to the floor where the company was located, took out his access card and swiped open the company door. The little girl at the front desk had already trotted up to greet him: "Mr. Tang, are you here? Mr. Tang has gone home. Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang is here, do you want me to inform you."

Tang Zifeng was originally called Mr. Tang in the company, but since he asked his father Tang Lin to come to the company as chairman and deputy general manager, the title "Mr. Tang" belongs to Tang Lin, and he can only be called Mr. Tang. Known as "Mr. Xiao Tang", this is also a common situation in many family businesses. As for Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang Xiao, the latter refers to Tang Zifeng’s classmate and collaborator Wang Zijie, and the former refers to Wang Zijie’s father Wang Chongshou.

Wang Zijie has recently changed his mind and is preparing to become a professor. Tang Zifeng has already entered his role in Linyiji and has little time to pay attention to his company. Currently, the day-to-day management of the company is handled by Tang Lin and Wang Chongshou. Both of them are farmers. It is actually a bit difficult to manage Feihai Company, a company whose main business is publishing.

Fortunately, Tang Zifeng and Wang Zijie have paved the way for the company in the early stage. Several employees who participated in the company's management in the early stage have now grown up and are able to take charge of their own business. The two old men only need to be good mouthpieces for their sons and keep an eye on the company's finances every day to prevent outsiders from harming the public and enriching themselves. They are fully capable of doing these things.

Tang Zifeng didn't come to the company often, but the little girl at the front desk knew that he and "Little Mr. Wang" were the real bosses of the company, and Mr. Tang and Mr. Wang were just puppets. They are both bosses, so the little girl knows which boss should be more attentive to them.

"No, I can just go there myself." Tang Zifeng declined the little girl's kindness, and then praised him in a leadership style: "Xiao Liu, you are in good spirits, keep it up."

"Thank you, Mr. Tang." The little girl smiled sweetly, showing her four front teeth.

Tang Zifeng first went to Wang Chongshou's office and gave him a box of pine nut cakes brought back from Tengcun. He joked with him for a few words before saying goodbye and coming to Wang Zijie's office.

In Wang Zijie's office, besides Wang Zijie, there were two other young people who looked about 23 or 4 years old, with some childishness on their faces. Seeing Tang Zifeng push the door in, Wang Zijie was sitting behind his desk and just smiled. However, the two young men stood up from the sofa together and bowed slightly to greet Tang Zifeng. One of them moved his lips. , seemed to want to say hello to Tang Zifeng, but was afraid of calling the wrong person.

"This is Mr. Tang." Wang Zijie introduced them.

"Hello, Mr. Tang!" The two of them greeted Tang Zifeng in unison.

"Sit down." Tang Zifeng waved his hands to the two of them, and then sat down on a chair opposite them first.

The two young men also sat down. Wang Zijie continued to introduce: "Zifeng, this is Guo Xiaoyu, and that is Zhang Jin. I told you on the phone. I heard that you were coming today, so I invited them here."

Tang Zifeng smiled at the two and said, "Hello, you two, although it was three years ago, I still have to express my gratitude to you. Without your guidance, my sister would not have been able to pass the key exam."

"Mr. Tang is too polite. This is what we should do!" The man named Guo Xiaoyu said politely.

"Yes, the main reason is that Mr. Tang has a good foundation and we didn't do anything." Zhang Jin also said.

Three years ago, Tang Zifeng's sister Tang Ziyan faced the college entrance examination. Considering the poor teaching quality of the middle school in his hometown, Tang Zifeng brought Tang Ziyan to the capital and asked Wang Zijie to help him find several talented students from northern Qing Dynasty to provide one-on-one tutoring to Tang Ziyan. These one-on-one teachers naturally have a set of learning skills to become talented students. Under their guidance, Tang Ziyan's grades improved rapidly. She failed the college entrance examination and was admitted to the Autonomous Control Department of Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

Tang Zifeng was very generous in this matter. He paid several tutors on an hourly basis, and each received several thousand yuan. This was a very luxurious extra money for college students back then.

Guo Xiaoyu and Zhang Jin were the two students who tutored Tang Ziyan. Guo Xiaoyu studied at Peking University and Zhang Jin studied at Tsinghua University. They are both good and bad. After other students got paid, they happily went to eat big meals and buy luxury goods. However, these two people were inspired by it and started a business on campus. They set up a training company specializing in providing "one-on-one" tutoring for college entrance examination students. mechanism.

When Guo Xiaoyu and Zhang Jin started their business, they only had a few thousand yuan paid by Tang Zifeng. This money was obviously not enough to rent venues and advertise. So, the two approached Wang Zijie and expressed the hope of cooperating with Feihai Company.

After Wang Zijie asked Tang Zifeng for instructions, he agreed to their cooperation request. Feihai Company invested 200,000 yuan and obtained 40% of the equity of the training institution.

The reason Tang Zifeng agreed to cooperate with Guo and Zhang was that he knew that this kind of "one-to-one" training institution would develop well in later generations and was one of the businesses that made money faster than stealing it. He didn't know if such a business could be successful now, but since the other party didn't want much investment, there was no need for him to refuse.

This kind of investment is completely risky investment. If the investment is wrong, the loss will be only 200,000, which Mr. Tang can afford to pay. And if it succeeds, the income will be ten times or even a hundred times, why not? If nothing else, just the academic qualifications of Guo and Zhang are worth 200,000.

Because it was not a big investment in the first place, Tang Zifeng forgot about it after explaining it to Wang Zijie. He had never asked about it in the past few years, let alone met Guo and Zhang in person. At the beginning of this year, when Tang Zifeng was looking at the company's report, he unexpectedly discovered that a company called "Si Erxue" had handed over 100,000 in dividends to Feihai Company. After further inquiry, he found out that it was a casually thrown one back then. The seeds have grown into peaches. This time, he specifically asked Wang Zijie to invite Guo and Zhang to the company. He wanted to meet and talk with them.

From Wang Zijie, Tang Zifeng learned that Guo and Zhang's entrepreneurial journey was quite difficult and they paid a lot of price. Both of them are college students and usually have a heavy academic burden. In order to start a business, they skipped classes a lot. It is said that each of them failed five or six subjects. Graduation is imminent, and Guo Xiaoyu's degree is no longer guaranteed. It would be good to get a diploma.

However, the two's efforts also paid off handsomely. Last year, Silexue Company's turnover reached 1.5 million yuan. After deducting costs such as rent and teacher wages, the net profit reached more than 400,000 yuan. After asking Wang Zijie for instructions, the two decided to use 250,000 yuan for dividends. Feihai Company held 40% of the equity, so they received 100,000 yuan in dividends.

100,000 yuan is almost insignificant to Feihai Company. Wang Zijie has previously stated that there is no need to pay dividends for the time being, and the money can be left to Sierxue Company as an investment to expand reproduction. But Guo Xiaoyu insisted that he had received investment from Feihai Company and had not paid any dividends to the company for several years, so he was easily gossiped about. Since Sierxue Company has made more profits this year, it is appropriate to pay a dividend.

"Xiaoyu, I heard from Zijie that you even lost your degree in order to start a company. Isn't this a bit more gain than loss?" Tang Zifeng looked at Guo Xiaoyu and asked.

Guo Xiaoyu smiled slightly awkwardly and said: "I was careless. I think the pressure in college is not as high as in high school. Just work hard before the exam. Who knows that the teachers in some subjects are very biased in their questions. They usually don't When I was listening to the class, I had no idea what the questions meant, and I failed without paying attention. Our school stipulates that if you take five additional exams, you will not get a degree. By the time I figured it out, it was already too late."

"What about you?" Tang Zifeng asked Zhang Jin again.

Zhang Jin said with a smile: "I am a little more lucky than Xiaoyu. I failed some final exams, but usually my scores are relatively high. If I average, I will pass. However, my grades are definitely at the bottom of the class. Normally, I will be at the bottom of the class. I’m too embarrassed to see anyone.”

"You are about to graduate. Do you plan to continue running this company after graduation?" Tang Zifeng asked.

Guo Xiaoyu said: "That's for sure. In fact, when Zhang Jin and I first started this company, we had already thought about it. Even if this company didn't succeed, we would definitely have to work in the sea in the future. We didn't want to go there. 9 to 5 life.”

"In fact, running a company is a good choice." Tang Zifeng said, "The direction you have chosen is very good. Chinese parents are willing to spend money on their children's education. As long as you can provide first-class services, you will not worry about making money. Got the money.”

"Thank you, Mr. Tang, for your encouragement." The two of them responded in unison.

After everyone chatted for a while, Tang Zifeng changed the topic and asked the two of them: "Xiao Guo, Xiao Zhang, I want to ask, in addition to college entrance examination tutoring, have you ever thought about doing other training? "

"Other training? What does Mr. Tang mean?" Guo Xiaoyu looked at Tang Zifeng and asked.

With the intelligence of Guo Xiaoyu and Zhang Jin, they had already guessed that Tang Zifeng had invited them here specifically not to chat with them, but for other things. However, neither of them would take the initiative to ask questions before Tang Zifeng mentioned it. This was a matter of negotiation skills, and the two had already discussed it before going out. Now, Tang Zifeng finally turned to the topic. Guo Xiaoyu's heart was beating violently, but the expression on his face was very calm.
