Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1107
After hearing this, the principal smiled strangely for some reason and asked, "Then why don't you tell me directly, what is your purpose in learning English?"

I wondered, "What's the difference?"

The headmaster nodded and said, "Of course I have. If you want to get a diploma or something, then I'll have a way for you to get it!"

I asked curiously, "How did you do it?"

The principal said in a low voice: "If you have a college diploma, adult college entrance examination or something, this is very simple, I can just find someone to take the exam for you! If you have a bachelor's degree or above, it will be more troublesome, but I have the same solution, it is expensive. A little bit!"

I said with a oh: "You still have these businesses? It seems that you have made a lot of money, right?"

The principal laughed and said, "What money do you make? This is all illegal. If we are caught, we will be fined to death!"

At this time, two more parents came in to inquire about their children's tutoring. The principal asked us to sit first, and he went over there.

At first glance, the two parents were the ones who wanted their children to become a dragon. They didn't care about the money at all. They just wanted to improve their children's English level. The principal directly signed up for 100 lessons at 120 yuan per lesson, a total of 12000 yuan. After receiving 10000 yuan, the two parents went to pay the money happily.

The headmaster sat down again with a smile and said, "How is it? Do you two want to enroll in any class?"

I asked, "What classes are there? How are they charged?"

The principal didn’t take any leaflets this time, but just said in a low voice: “Adults who pass the college entrance examination guarantee 5500 yuan, college diplomas 10000 yuan, undergraduates level 4 15000 yuan, level 6 18000 yuan, level 8, IELTS, and TOEFL. If you want to be admitted to a serious university, then you really have to learn by yourself!"

I said oh, "Then what if I really want to learn English?"

The principal curled his lips and said: "Then you are not suitable to come to my place. One is, I can't let you study with the children, and you can't afford to lose this person. The other is that I have a class for you alone. Not suitable. Our teachers now lead at least 3 classes, and each class has 4 to 50 people. It’s too expensive to teach you one alone! You might as well hire a tutor!”

I hummed and said, "That's right! It seems that your business here is quite rich? Sha Yi's advertisement is still useful!"

The principal smiled and nodded, "That's the celebrity effect. Now all products are not the same. As long as it is endorsed by a celebrity, people will believe it!"

I asked again: "Then he also earns a lot of money for endorsement? I think your place is not big, how can you invite him to speak for you?"

The principal just thought I was curious, and proudly said: "One of my classmates is his friend, please help him, it's just a photo, what's the problem, he even invested in it, hey, why are you talking about this? Have you decided on which class to enroll in?"

I regained my serious expression and said: "We are Mr. Sha Yi's lawyers, and now we are investigating his investment in your company's shares! In the sales reports you reported to Mr. Sha Yi the year before and last year, you mentioned that you have been In the event of a loss, Sha Yi has now invested two funds, one is 2, the other is 30, plus the initial investment of 50, which is exactly 20 million. Mr. Sha Yi entrusted our law firm to conduct an internal investigation of the company , confirm the capital flow of these 100 investments!"

The principal was a little confused when he heard it, but he immediately reacted and explained: "Our company has been in a loss state since its opening, and we also opened this training center for the purpose of teaching and educating people. Inevitably, as for the whereabouts of the funds? It is also difficult for me to answer you for a while. Some money is paid for rent, some money is used for advertising, and wages, utilities, etc. are too expensive, and our tuition fees are too cheap. That's why you lose money year after year!"

I looked at the students passing by in the corridor, and asked, "Didn't you just say that each teacher has several classes, and each class has 4 to 50 students, how can they lose money? How much commission do you give the teacher? How much is the rent? How much water and electricity can you have a month? You ask the accountant to bring the report and show it to me!"

The headmaster looked at me, shook his head and said, "She's not here usually, she only does the accounts once a month, and she'll come over when the accounts are done!"

I pointed to the phone in the office and said: "Call her over and show me the account book. If I can't get the account book today, I will go to the court and sue directly. At that time, the account will be closed directly, and the school will be closed. We don't need it." Come to that step, don't you think?"

The principal looked very ugly, hesitating what to do?
I emphasized again: "Mr. Sha Yi is very angry. Since investing in your company, he has never received a single bill, and no one has explained the investment income to him. I think this may involve commercial fraud!"

The principal hurriedly explained: "How could it be possible to cheat? We really didn't make any money! We lose money every year, and there is nothing we can do about it!"

I said disdainfully: "Even if you lose money, you shouldn't even pay the bills, right? You have to have an explanation for losing money, so you just don't explain anything, just took 100 million from others, not only did you not plan to pay it back, You still want people to continue to invest in you, isn’t it a scam?”

The principal wiped the sweat from his forehead, and explained again: "We don't understand either, we are all engaged in education, and we don't know much about these financial matters!"

I hummed and said, "Even if you make sense, can you show it to us now? As long as it is indeed a loss of money, Mr. Sha Yi will not blame you, so I can explain it to you!"

The principal nodded hurriedly and said, "Thank you then! I'll call the accountant over now!"

After finishing speaking, I was about to go out to make a call, but I grabbed him and said, "Call here!"

The principal smiled awkwardly: "You don't worry about me running away, do you? My training center is still here!"

I smiled and said, "I'm not worried. You are a legal person, right? If you run away, you're absconding in fear of crime. It's a good principal, but you become a wanted criminal. For a little money, you become a criminal. Isn't it worth it? It's just that, when the accountant arrives, after I've read your account books, you can do whatever you want!"

The principal had no choice but to call directly. Hearing what he said, he felt very familiar with finance. Although the voice was very low, I could still hear a little bit. Just come here, why so much nonsense!"

After putting down the phone, he said to me: "Wait a while, she will be here soon!"

Seeing the principal's uneasiness, I feel a little bit at ease. At least he hasn't left directly, or drove us away. It seems that he is not an old man, so there is something to talk about.

Thirty minutes later, a fat woman came in panting, pointing at the principal and cursing: "What did you talk to me on the phone just now? Why are you yelling at me?"

The headmaster's eyes drifted to me and Guan Ze. The fat woman took a look at both of us and asked very rudely: "Is that what you want to see? Who are you? Why?"

The principal hurriedly grabbed the fat woman and said, "This is Sha Yi's lawyer, here to investigate our account!"

The fat woman curled her lips and said, "If he says to check, he will check it?"

I smiled and said: "Of course I can check the accounts, but I don't have to. If I don't check, then you can wait to receive the subpoena from the court, and it will save trouble!"

The fat woman snorted coldly and said, "Who are you scaring?"

I sneered and said, "I didn't scare anyone! I'm checking the accounts now, but when I go to the court, it's not as simple as checking the accounts!"

The headmaster hurriedly added: "Yes, yes, it involves fraud! Wife, show it to him quickly!"

The fat woman seemed to be a little scared, and she walked out of the office dawdly. After a while, she took a pile of ledgers, put them on the table, and said arrogantly, "Look for yourselves!"

I opened one of the oldest ledgers and frowned. What kind of ledger is this? It’s such a simple ledger. It’s written crookedly. The numbers look like earthworms. I read it for a long time. Only after researching what are 1 to 10.

While I was watching, I scolded my mother in my heart, what kind of finance is this?If I were the boss, I would have fired her eighteen times already.

The more I look at it, the more I get annoyed. If it were my finances, I would throw the ledger in her face, but there is no other way. In order to reconcile the accounts, I have to be patient until I understand it.

Fortunately, this account is not difficult to understand at all, they did not hide anything, they recorded everything truthfully, I corrected one by one, added one by one, and quickly calculated the profit of the first year, the total gross profit was 43 yuan, In the second year, I calculated again, and the total gross profit was 76. Needless to say, in the third year, I earned more than 130 million in just half a year.

I have read all the accounts, and the profit is in the millions, but the tax problem is a big one, the land tax is better, the national tax is not paid much, how do they do the annual review?No one will check them?
There is another big question, this account is messed up, how do they pass the annual review every year?
After reading the account, I closed the account and said to the principal who was wiping away his sweat: "It seems that you know how much money you have made? Why do you keep saying that you are losing money? This is unreasonable!"

The headmaster didn't dare to speak, but her wife was not afraid, and directly confronted me: "How do we know? This account is not necessarily accurate! We have lost a lot of money, and we don't record it. We don't know how much money we lose all year round. , no account!"

I ignored her and took photos of the ledgers one by one, then handed them to Guan Ze and said, "Take it!"

Guan Ze understood and walked out first.

Seeing that no one stopped Guan Ze, I felt relieved, sat down and said slowly, "I've finished reading this account, don't you want to say something?"

The two of you looked at me and I looked at you. The principal was a little panicked and said, "That account is not accurate, it must be a lot of under-recording!"

I cut it and said: "Thank you for not remembering, otherwise I don't know how much I will punish you!"

The two were surprised at the same time: "What?"

I continued: "What is that? Don't you know how much tax you file yourself?"

The two shook their heads.

I sighed and said, "You can find a professional accountant to take a look at it for you!"

After finishing speaking, I said again: "I took the account away, and figure out how to explain it to Sha Yi!"

Sha Yi disappointed me a little. My guess is that the headmaster will definitely return part of the money to Sha Yi, and Sha Yi will at least tell me.Unfortunately no, he didn't even mention it.

I don't even want to go to another property of his. No one wants to collect bad debts. There are many troubles. Since I helped him once, he didn't even say thank you, so I have no reason to help him again. His second time.

After Xie Feng saw Sha Yi’s contract, he came back and said to me: “It’s so deceptive, I don’t know how Sha Yi signed it at that time? Even I, who don’t understand contract law, can see that this contract The problem is too big!"

I asked with an oh: "What's the problem, come and listen to me!"

Xie Feng began to explain to me one by one: "First, since the signing of the artist, all performances, commercial performances and advertising contacts are agreed to be managed by the company, and the artist has no right to deny. That is to say, all commercial activities of Sha Yi All have to be arranged by their company. Sha Yi will accept any movie or commercial, he himself doesn’t count, he can’t accept it if he wants to, and he has to accept it if he doesn’t want to accept it!”

I asked curiously: "Isn't our company like this? It's convenient for unified management. There's nothing wrong with that?"

Xie Feng shook his head and said: "This is definitely not possible! Our company is still relatively humane, and we have to communicate with the artist for any job, so that the artist can fully cooperate! If you take someone you don't like, the artist will be in a high mood of resistance. , If the degree of cooperation is poor, the reputation of the artist will be stinky, and it will be difficult to accept jobs in the future! Artists themselves should have a certain degree of autonomy!"

I disagreed and said: "If that's the case, what do we need our agency to do? They artists don't want to do what they want to do, so they can do whatever they want? Many artists just don't manage themselves properly, which leads to damage to their image. The company has worked hard To make her famous, she acts recklessly and destroys her image for money? Then our investment is all in vain? We should strictly control the behavior of artists and all their activities!"

Xie Feng argued: "I don't think so, the relationship between artists and the company is a mutually beneficial relationship and should not be hostile. What we have to do is to help artists make the most money and win the best popularity among audiences. Only when artists make money can they cooperate with the company to a high degree. Otherwise, if you let artists do things they don’t want, their resistance will become stronger and stronger. In the end, they will form an opposition with the company. Isn’t this the case with Sha Yi now? "

I sighed and said, "Women's benevolence! If you don't control her, how can she listen to you? If they can manage themselves well, why should they join our company? They can do it themselves, why bother?" How about giving us money?"
