The Great Era of Rebirth: 1993

   Chapter 318, worry about money (please subscribe!)

   After having lunch, after a few chats for a while, they also parted ways.

   Qiu Boren and Chen Min drove back to Haizhu District.

   Looking at No. 228 Tianhe Road in the rearview mirror, which was constantly pulled back, Chen Min couldn't help but sigh:

   "The offspring are terrifying, what a great courage! What a great handwriting!"

   Qiu Boren agreed: "This is completely betting on the general trend. Considering that the scale is larger than that of Taikoo City, Hong Kong, if the domestic economy is not as good as Zhang Xuan expected, it will definitely lose everything."

   Chen Min sideways: "What if the economy meets expectations?"

   Qiu Boren said: "Then he is a genius, and he should earn a lot of money.

   You have also seen the Tianhe Square under construction next door, which is the humble version of Taikoo Shing. You can also guess the reason, that is, it is worried that the consumption level of Yangcheng will not keep up. "

   Chen Min pondered the small meeting, and then smiled: "If this complex is successful, Tianhe Square will be suppressed forever."

   Qiu Boren also laughed, he was looking forward to it.

  The car went all the way to the south.

   As soon as Qiu Boren returned to Wanbang Design, he didn’t even bother to take a sip of water, so he went straight to the office, closed the door, and started to make a phone call.

   dong dong dong.

After    three beeps, the phone is connected.

   "Boren?" The voice of a middle-aged man.

   Qiu Boren said, "Old classmate, do me a favor."

   asked: "You said, what are you busy with?"

   Qiu Boren said: "Help me investigate a person."

The    side reacted immediately: "Have you received a big project again?"

   "It's still in the contact stage, I need you to confirm it for me." Qiu Boren said.

   said yes: "You tell me the information."

   Qiu Boren talked about the land at No. 228 Tianhe Road, and then said:

   "If it is convenient, you can help me briefly investigate the information of Zhang Xuan and Li Mei."

The    side was silent, and after a long time he said, "Boren, this is not like you."

   Qiu Boren was prepared, and quickly explained: "Old classmate, please understand, this project is very big, and Chen Min and I can't handle it, so we must ask for foreign aid.

   But under the premise of uncertainty, I can't take the risk of inviting people over. "

   was a little surprised and asked curiously, "You two can't do it yet? Who please?"

   Qiu Boren did not hide: "Master Guo Zhuoming, and two friends in the IBA office in the Netherlands."

   Hearing that it was Guo Zhuoming, he agreed: "Okay, wait for my news."

After half a day, Qiu Boren received a call back.

   picked up the receiver, Qiu Boren couldn't wait to ask: "How is it, have you found it?"

   "I found that the land you mentioned is indeed under the name of Yingtai Real Estate, and the legal person of Yingtai Real Estate is Zhang Xuan, who is usually managed by Li Mei."

   Then, without waiting for Qiu Boren to speak, he hurriedly revealed Zhang Xuan's personal information.

   When he heard that Zhang Xuan is a famous writer in China, Qiu Boren was instantly stunned and asked incredulously:

   "Old classmate, are you right?"

   There was silence, and then he said: "That's right. I didn't believe it at first, so I also checked if it was the same name and surname."

   Having said this, he paused and said, "Few people know about Zhang Xuan being a great writer.

   I also found out this news by accident after reading the information that he was studying at CUHK and following a vice-principal over there. "

   "Still studying at CUHK?" Qiu Bo was very surprised, it was a bit strange that such a freshman writer was still studying.

   is too unreasonable.

   "Yes, reading."

   "Graduate? Or Ph.D?"

   "Neither, I just finished my freshman year, and I'm a sophomore in the second half of the year."

  “.”

   Qiu Boren's whole person was not well, he stopped talking, and lost his voice for a while.

   Seeing that Qiu Boren didn't answer, he said, "Okay, take your time to reflect on it. I have something to do here, so I'll hang up first. By the way, Zhang Xuan's matter is not known to the public yet, so don't make it public for the time being."

   "It's done." Qiu Boren, who had slowed down after a long time, answered and hung up the phone.

   Half an hour later, seeing her husband coming out of the office, Chen Min, who was busy, immediately put down the work at hand, ran over and asked with concern:

   "How is it? Those two are not liars, are they?"

   Qiu Boren glanced at the company staff outside, pulled Chen Min to the office, closed the door and said to her:

   "There's good news, there's bad news, and there's scary news."

   Hearing the bad news, Chen Min's heart sank and asked anxiously, "You say the good news first."

   Qiu Boren said: "The good news is that Zhang Xuan and Li Mei are not liars. The land is indeed under their names, with a total of more than 53,000 square meters."

   Hearing this, Chen Min breathed a sigh of relief for no reason: "What is the bad news?"

   Qiu Boren said: "The project is huge, but Zhang Xuan and Li Mei don't have much money."

   "What? No money?"

"Um."

  Chen Min asked in confusion: "No money? No money to start a tiger, and no money to promise to build a unique landmark building in the world?"

   Qiu Boren looked at her and didn't speak, which was the default. Because he was so stubborn in his heart.

   Seeing that her husband did not speak, Chen Min was very disappointed.

   She really thought that a huge project had hit her head, but it turned out to be nothing.

   Qiu Boren seemed to know what his wife was thinking, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, even though there is no money now, the ability of these two to earn money is still scary."

   Chen Min heard what was in the words, and urged: "Go ahead, tell me the scary news, and see if it can scare me."

   Qiu Boren put the newspaper he had read just now in front of his wife: "It's all in the newspaper, you can read it yourself."

   "Huh?" Chen Min was puzzled: "What does this mean?"

   Qiu Boren pointed at a news article and said, "Xu Jun told me that Zhang Xuan is March, a great writer, and is currently studying at CUHK."

   After listening, Chen Min didn't have much reaction, just stared straight at her husband without batting an eyelid.

   Qiu Boren lit a cigarette, sighed and said, "This is what Xu Jun told me, it's absolutely true."

   Chen Min blinked, then lowered his head abruptly in the next second, picked up the newspaper and read it.

   For a while, the office was silent.

  One smoking looked at his wife, the other looked down at the newspaper.

   More than ten minutes passed like this

   Until a certain moment, the sound of jingle bell broke the dead silence.

   Hearing the sound, Chen Min just looked at the landline, ignored it, and continued to read the newspaper.

   Qiu Boren switched the cigarette to his left hand, picked up the receiver in his right hand and asked, "Hello, hello."

   "Dad, it's me, is mom around?" a female voice.

   Qiu Boren glanced at his wife: "If you have anything to do, just tell me, your mother is not free now."

   The female voice said: "It's good not to be around, just not to be around.

  Dad, tell your mother that I won't go back to China next month, and I'll figure out the reason for you. She said that her daughter couldn't find a boyfriend and went home to see Jiangdong's parents. "

   Qiu Boren looked at his eyeing wife with an embarrassed smile.

  Chen Min grabbed the receiver and said sharply, "You must go back to China next month."

   "Oh mom, are you there?" The female voice was startled by the sudden roar.

   But the next second, the female voice insisted: "When I come back, you also urge me to find someone every day, but I can't find it, so it's better not to come back and get in your way."

  Chen Min said: "You don't have to look for it, I'll help you find it."

  The female voice stopped for a few seconds, and then asked weakly: "Who is it? Who else is worthy of me?"

   Chen Min laughed angrily: "What kind of green onion do you think you are, you are the only one in the world! Great writer, the person I will help you find is a great writer.

   warns you, you have to come back next month to help with things, and if you stay idle again, your rations will be cut off! "

After   , there was a loud "bang" and the phone was hung up brutally.

   When Chen Min was frightening his daughter with a writer.

   At this moment, the great writer is sitting at the roadside stall, looking at the setting sun and worrying.

   You can't even worry about it, you can't numb yourself.

   Ever since Yangcheng couldn’t find a designer locally and wanted to find someone internationally, Zhang Xuan knew that the budget of 1.5 billion was definitely not enough.

   The problem is, the 1.5 billion budget is already dying, and the **** is still increasing.

   Do you still want to live?

   Really worried about money.

   It stands to reason that I am now a little money maker.

   In the first three months, the royalties of "Wind Sound" alone reached 9.87 million.

  Although the payment has not been received yet, an institution as large as People's Literature should not rely on this amount of money.

   And there are currently 1.72 million in his account.

   There are also 23 pink diamonds.

  If you can successfully sell this batch of pink diamonds, you will definitely earn millions, right?

   Now that August is not over yet, the royalties of the two books this month can also be predicted, and then a large amount of money will come into the account.

   These zeros and zeros add up, and there are always 20 million, right?

   Add in the 20 million of the bank mortgage loan, and it is 40 million.

   As for the company account, although Zhang Xuan does not often check it clearly.

   But Li Mei is very disciplined and conscious. Every month, she will send the financial statements to his door for him to read.

   Originally, 10 tons of brandy liquid was sold for 8.84 million.

   This money is used to start-up capital for newsprint.

   And newsprint has done just over a year so far.

   The ins and outs of this money are also very clear.

   Years ago, the only business was Xinmin Evening News and Huaxi Metropolis Daily. The monthly volume of the two newspapers is a fixed 80,000 tons, and the profits are down to 30 yuan per ton.

   Almost 2.4 million net profit per month.

   In the first 5 months, it was 12 million.

   And since the beginning of the year, the monthly sales volume of Guangdong Daily has increased to 50,000 tons.

   In the seven months after the year, the three newspapers sold 130,000 tons per month, with an average profit of 29.5 yuan per ton. In 7 months, it is about 27 million.

   That is, the total annual revenue of newsprint is 39 million.

   Here we need to throw out the company's daily expenses and the small 3 million in human relations.

   There are only 36 million left.

   plus the principal of the brandy stock solution, 36 million plus 8.84 million, the total is 44.84 million.

   As for the land and textile factory at No. 228 Tianhe Road, 28 million yuan was spent twice, and the company's account now has 17.84 million yuan left.

   The 17.84 million can be drawn up to 10 million.

Any more    will affect the normal operation of the foreign trade company.

  The 10 million here, plus the previous 40 million, the funds that can be used today are only 50 million.

  50 million to build the West Tower, which is still enough to build a large shopping mall.

   However, although it is not enough, if according to the industry practice, the supplier's balance is ruthlessly suppressed, it can still work.

  If, at that time, it is really impossible, then sell the 2 tons of brandy stock solution that you have stored.

   Trees are moved to death and people are moved to live. For the sake of the big plan, what is a mere two meals of brandy stock solution?

   The point is, what is irritating is that the sale is not enough, and the start-up capital of the first phase of the complex is still a lot worse.

   Seeing Zhang Xuan sitting there with a depressed face, Li Mei, who finished eating the jelly in a hurry, comforted: "Are you worried about money?"

   Zhang Xuan glanced at her and said nothing, knowing that she had something to say.

  Li Mei wiped her mouth with a tissue, looked at him and said, "Haven't you been asking me to increase the price over the past year?"

   Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up: "Done?"

   Li Mei nodded: "I've been worrying about money ever since I got the land.

   In the past year, in order to maintain relationships, I have been supplying newsprint to three newspapers at a small profit.

   Fortunately, we didn't make a mistake in the middle, otherwise the two of us couldn't even afford to eat now.

   These three newspapers also know about this.

   So when I proposed a price increase of 42 yuan per ton because of inflation some time ago, they did not object and accepted it calmly. "

  Zhang Xuan's thoughts came to life: "Is it really that simple?"

   Li Mei nodded: "It's that simple. In fact, even if the price increases by 42 yuan, it is still much lower than the unit price I sold them before.

   What do they disagree with? But I am not without a price. "

   Zhang Xuan asked: "What is the price?"

   Li Mei said: "I promise them that the price will not change in the next year."

   This also makes sense.

  A businessman is chasing profit. If there is no price, he will not believe it if he is beaten to death.

   Judging from the inflation situation in the past two years, this price is not small.

   Zhang Xuan calculated in his heart, and it took a while to react:

   "Actually, our profit margin is still not high. It's only a little over 7%, not even 8%. It is still among the low-profit ranks in foreign trade."

   Li Mei said frankly: "Yes. The three newspapers readily agreed with me to increase the price just because they knew that we didn't earn much.

   They are worried about inflation, and they are also afraid that I will not be able to do it. "

  Zhang Xuan couldn't help but do the math again. In the future, the profit per ton will be 71.5 yuan, 130,000 tons per month, and he can earn about 9.3 million yuan.

  ! If you ignore the high risks of foreign trade, it will be a lot every month.

   Seeing that Zhang Xuan's face was a little brighter, Li Mei thought about it and said: "I am currently doing PR for Yangcheng Daily. If we can get it down, our financial pressure will be relieved a lot."

   Zhang Xuan asked expectantly, "How sure is this newspaper?"

   Li Mei said bluntly: "This is the last newspaper in China that I have a network with.

   No matter how difficult this newspaper is, we must win it.

   Even if the rebate is a little more, it must be won. Because apart from this newspaper, it is very difficult for us to publicize other domestic newspapers, unless there is a problem with their inherent supply chain, we will have a chance. "

  Zhang Xuan second understands, this is the so-called one radish, one pit, the interest chain has already been finalized, and it is impossible for people to give outsiders a chance.

   Leaving aside the relationship network of others. As far as taking rebates alone is concerned, it is too risky to be with strangers, and it is much safer to be with acquaintances.

   Only fools can easily switch suppliers.

   Zhang Xuan said very happily: "Okay, I'll wait for your good news. If it doesn't work, tell me, and I'll think of a way when the time comes."

   Zhang Xuan is also eager to make money. As long as he can make money, he must seize the opportunity.

"it is good."
