Chapter 40 We have no money

Tian Qingmin, who was on the other end of the phone, was stunned at first, then overjoyed, "This is Section Chief Qin, hello, do you have any instructions?"

"Mr. Tian is so polite." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "Thank you for your strong support. Now our website is developing in full swing, with three to four hundred thousand hits every day."

"This is all because Chief Qin is very capable, and I am just a little bit of help."

"Mr. Tian, ​​there is no need to be modest. The superior leaders also highly praised Mr. Tian's righteous deeds and asked me to express their gratitude to you."

Tian Qingmin's originally calm heart suddenly became excited, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Qin Shaoyan continued to say in a gentle voice: "Mr. Tian, ​​we have a clothing order now. Please help with it."

Tian Qingmin reacted immediately, "No problem, I will arrange for workers to work overnight. Do you have any specific needs?"

"T-shirt, just say thank you for helping the Olympic publicity, and add some sports elements, nothing else special." Qin Shaoyan pondered for a moment, "I have a website logo and fax it to you later, and I will contact your company when the time comes. The trademark is added together.”

"Ah, good, good, good." Tian Qingmin was overjoyed and quickly promised, "Don't worry, leader, we will complete it with quality and quantity. I will arrange people for the total required."

"Just five thousand pieces, no need to worry."

"Ah, five thousand pieces?" Tian Qingmin was a little disappointed.

But he quickly cheered up, and if he had one, there would be two. With these 5,000 pieces as a base, his subsequent orders would become more stable.

Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds, "Give me your company account, and I'll send you the payment."

"No, no, it's only five thousand pieces. I'll sponsor it." Tian Qingmin quickly declined.

"No, no, this is a formal purchase." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "Send me your account."

"Then you can give me 50,000 yuan."

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Tian. I will pay you within three months." Qin Shaoyan hung up the phone with a smile, and then made another call, "Mr. Wang, this is Xiao Qin."

Ten minutes later, Qin Shaoyan hung up the phone, "It's done, 10,000 T-shirts, shipped within a week."

"Zhang Tianshi, send a private message to the users who forwarded the help, asking them to send the school address, department and name, and tell them to mail it within a month."

Zhang Pingyi, who was watching the whole process, gave a thumbs up, "Mr. Qin, what a good idea."

Qin Shaoyan didn't express anything when he heard the compliment, but was a little worried.

"Master Zhang Tian, ​​come here."

"Huh? What's wrong?" Zhang Pingyi was a little surprised.

Qin Shaoyan pulled Zhang Pingyi to a corner and said quietly: "You are a member of the entrepreneurial team and a shareholder of the company. I need to explain the company's situation to you."

Zhang Mingyi was a little surprised, "Tell me what it is."

"Our company's financial situation is not optimistic." Qin Shaoyan said with a serious face.

"Ah?" Zhang Pingyi was shocked, "Don't we have 600,000?"

"Rent a house, buy office equipment, buy computers, lease servers, pay for business licenses and public relations..." Qin Shaoyan calmly listed the list, "These all cost money, right."

Zhang Pingyi thought for a moment and said, "Yes."

"These are nothing. The real expense is the labor cost, which costs 50,000 yuan per month."

Zhang Pingyi was stunned, "Why so many? There are only four of us?"

"As the boss of the company and the soul of the team, is it reasonable for me to give myself a higher salary?" Qin Shaoyan said confidently.

Zhang Pingyi was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "That's reasonable."

Qin Shaoyan put his arm around Zhang Pinyi's shoulders and said, "As the company's CTO and shareholder, is it reasonable for you to have a higher salary?" "Ah?!" Zhang Pinyi thought for a moment and reluctantly nodded, "It's reasonable."

"Brothers have worked hard with us and sacrificed their lives for us. Should we give people higher wages and improve work efficiency?" Qin Shaoyan continued to ask, "Is this very reasonable?"

"Reasonable."

"Now website promotion also costs a lot of money. I just ordered 10,000 pieces of clothes from Mr. Tian and Mr. Wang, and another 100,000 yuan is gone." Qin Shaoyan looked solemn, "And the most important thing right now is to expand the server capacity. .”

"Now the number of users is growing too fast, and there are too many active people. The website may not wait until night before it crashes."

Zhang Pingyi silently calculated in his mind and suddenly panicked. According to the current expenditure, the more than 600,000 yuan would not last until the end of the year.

"Oh, money has been flowing like water these days." Qin Shaoyan sighed.

"Then, what should we do?" Zhang Pingyi's face turned dark. The original joy of success was washed away, and a heavy burden was pressed on his heart.

"There are two ways now." Qin Shaoyan looked at Zhang Pingyi seriously, "One is to sell the website or find venture capital."

"The website cannot be sold." Zhang Pingyi directly rejected the proposal, and then frowned, "If we look for venture capital... I don't know about this. Will the venture capital be very troublesome?"

"The purpose of venture capital is simply to look at the return on investment. Whether you can get investment depends on whether the website has business prospects." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "But there is one thing I want to make clear."

"what?"

"If venture capital comes in, they may think that the Olympic publicity website is a burden and ask us to throw it away." Qin Shaoyan asked, "What will we do then?"

Zhang Mingyi immediately said categorically, "You cannot throw away the Olympic website."

"I think so too." Qin Shaoyan nodded, "This website is very important to us."

Seeing that Zhang Minyi was very confused, Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds and said slowly: "Actually, I still have another way. The risk is a bit high, but it should be very profitable."

When Zhang Pingyi heard this, his face suddenly became wary and he took two steps back, "What are you going to do?"

"Why are you so nervous?" Qin Shaoyan was speechless.

"I won't fall for you again and lie to others with you." Zhang Pingyi said righteously.

"Correct me, I didn't lie." Qin Shaoyan was a little dissatisfied, "You are biased against me."

"The prejudice in people's hearts is like a big mountain."

"Haha." Zhang Pingyi sneered.

"I won't let you do anything illegal. This is a legitimate business." Qin Shaoyan's face straightened, "Can I still lie to you?"

Just as Zhang Minyi was about to say something, Xu Lei and Li Le suddenly screamed.

"Brother Yi, the server crashed!"

Zhang Pingyi turned around and rushed over, pushed the two people away, and checked the status of the server.

After another hour of emergency repairs, the website finally returned to normal.

The crash problem is not due to a serious bug, but because the website data volume is too large, exceeding the server's carrying capacity.

After dealing with the server problem, Zhang Pingyi walked up to Qin Shaoyan with a tired face and said with a heavy heart, "Let me hear about your way to make money."

"Let's take some time to make a stand-alone game and sell it." Qin Shaoyan looked at Zhang Pingyi with a smile, "What do you think?"

Zhang Pingyi turned around and left.
