this man is not calm

Chapter 338 Money Making Plan
On the first working day after returning from a business trip, Jin Shang rarely worked overtime.

The operation of the entire company is like a highway, and each event is like a speeding car. When a certain road section is congested, it is not the passage of one car that is delayed, but the subsequent series of delays.

This is the situation that Jinshang is facing now. Many things are intertwined. Because one decision is lagging behind, many related tasks have to stop and wait for the prerequisites to be met before moving on to the next step.

After a busy day, I approved almost 30% of the backlog of official documents. As a result, when I got off work, another 15% came from the secretary's office.

It is foreseeable that if it is not dealt with as soon as possible, it will become more and more troublesome in the next few days.

In view of this, Jin Shang had to stay and work until half past eight, before finally coming to an end.

Secretary Huang Yiyi has been sent home, and many employees who were working with her have also left one after another.

After stopping what he was doing and tidying up his desk, Jin Shang, who was a little tired, poured himself a cup of tea and took a good rest.

After a while, Li Xuan, who also had a lot of work in hand and had been working overtime, knocked on the door of the office and looked around.

"Come in and sit down for a while! I haven't been so focused on working at my desk for a long time. It's more tiring than running three thousand meters."

This was inevitable. Jin Shang had already predicted that there were nearly 700 people in the entire Jinxi Mall headquarters, and the number of temporary workers and outsourced workers was three times that. Including branches in other places, the number of families directly and indirectly affected was estimated to be more than 5,000.

Jin Shang's current situation is similar to that of Liu Xuande, who is still in the "running" stage. He is already somewhat famous, and has some civil servants and generals under his command. He does not have many soldiers and horses, but they are relatively elite. He can get territory, but it is a bit difficult to hold it. He still lacks the title of "Emperor's Uncle", his signboard is not loud enough, and there are not many talented people to join him when he issues a recruitment order.

Everyone knows that the so-called "Liangshan heroes" are thieves who rob families and homes, but after all, they have raised the banner of "doing justice for heaven", and they have some cohesion.

"A star company!"

"The technical center and e-commerce platform are also in trouble, especially Director Wei. I heard that there will be an inspection visit next week. Besides being busy, he also has to prepare for the reception."

With so much tax revenue and jobs being provided, the local area certainly won’t turn a blind eye.

"How...is it over?"

"You are so beautiful. A genius like that can only be seen once in ten years. It's rare to find one. I'm lucky to meet one in the company's early stage. Really capable talents have high aspirations." Arrogant guy, our company’s brand is not very strong, so we may not be able to recruit them. The appointment and dismissal of senior executives... mainly rely on their own promotion and training!”

As a public enterprise that has received external financing, at the end of the year, preparing financial statements and providing them to investors is also a task that cannot be ignored. Only with it can we lay a solid foundation for the next step of financing.

Many well-known large state-owned factories do not have this many people.

"As the company gets bigger, we can no longer micromanage everything as we did before. We need to take care of finances, manage the appointment and dismissal of senior executives, and grasp the strategic direction."

"It's early! But... we can take a breather for the time being. The most urgent matters have been taken care of, and it will probably take two or three days to clean up."

"I understand, in this situation, the executives are not trustworthy acquaintances, and I can't trust them either!"

Prestige and personal charisma are hard to explain, but they are indeed the most important pillars of a team.

During this period, the scale of private enterprises with thousands of employees was still quite exaggerated, even if most of them were not full-time employees.

All need to be done step by step.

What's more, it is a high-tech industry closely related to Internet technology. It is really rare to win a "unicorn" that is very prestigious in the world.

There are still a lot of things in the work mailbox that have not been read, so Huang Yiyi can only let Huang Yiyi make a selection first, prioritize them, and read them later. There are also messages on Jinxi chat, which have not been processed for a long time.

Jinxi Culture is about to enter its third year, completely out of the start-up stage, and has become a relatively mature large company.

"I understand! It's hard to find capable executives. Give me ten Wei Shuangping-level talents and I will soon become the richest man in the world."

"Don't mention that, I can't take care of it here. I can't take care of the e-commerce affairs for the time being, so I have to let Wei Shuangping take care of it."

"Isn't Qi Zhaoyun quite capable? He should be able to stand alone..."

"I can't do without him for the time being. There is no one who can replace him on the legal side. What's more, his industry ban period has not passed yet. It is difficult to leave many things to him and we have to wait."

There is also the work of the financial department. It has always been quite satisfactory, but there are no eye-catching surprises, so Jin Shang often has to make suggestions in person.

These days, it’s hard to find accountants with experience, strong abilities, and a bottom line.

Speaking of this, Jin Shang felt annoyed again. He knew that talents were rare, but it was not easy to solve.

The two sat for a while, then Jin Shang drove home with Li Xuan, and then cooked some noodles as a midnight snack.

After eating, Jin Shang went to the personal music room at home and practiced playing an instrument that he had not played for more than half a month, while his girlfriend sat quietly and enjoyed it.

After an unknown amount of time, Jin Shang stopped playing the guitar, put down the pen in his hand, looked at the music score written in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing this, Li Xuan came over and watched Jin Shang finishing the lyrics and music, then commented with great appreciation:
"The tune seems to be a bit high-pitched, but the sense of frustration is not particularly strong. The lyrics are well-written. It is a typical high-pitched inspirational song. It is not suitable for Dai Yiqin, but it goes well with your singing. Are you going to sing it yourself?"

"It's the end of the year. The Little Mazar Band must release an album to make some money for the New Year! Mei Fengchun has urged me several times. I'm on a business trip and can't take care of it."

"As a soundtrack to this song, her title song must be perfect. Has it been recorded?"

"Not yet! Let's talk about it in a few days!"

"What's the title of the song?"

"It's called "I Believe", what do you think?" "It has a sense of 'craftsmanship' and a triumph of technique. Although it seems to be rushed, the lyrics and music are very smooth. Coupled with your appropriate singing, it is a good pop song. It's more rock and roll, but not too strong. You can actually tighten it up a bit, but it embraces the market very restrainedly and strengthens the commercial elements."

"After listening to it too much, you have become more discerning! Indeed, this song is a bit opportunistic, but we cannot deny its excellence. It is a high-pitched inspirational pop song, and it naturally enjoys the attention of 'passerby fans'. I am not In order to become a singer, and I have no intention of stealing the limelight from my little cousin, the lead singer, it’s enough.”

"In the end, it's all about making money."

"Otherwise? Hobby is one thing, but money is also necessary. I will owe a large amount of money soon."

After hearing this, Li Xuan curled her lips and said:

"Whether you will be the richest man in the future or not is another matter. You will probably become the 'first loser' on the surface."

"No, no, no!"

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Jin Shang chuckled,
"Mosquitoes have meat on their legs. It's unrealistic to expect you to be in business by yourself, and it's putting the cart before the horse. The key is to run a good company. How much money can you make in a lifetime by working hard on your own? Or do you have to let others work for me and borrow money from others? The money makes money for me.”

Hobbies are hobbies and cannot be confused with career.

A person's time is limited. Even if Jin Shang turns into a full-time "literary copywriter" and "transports" the entertainment works, novels and poems from his previous life, he can't do much even if he works hard.

Copying books, releasing albums, and selling CDs can make tens of billions or hundreds of billions?

It's a waste of time not to talk, and it also delays the business.

Hobby is a supplement, and it would be great if you can make a lot of money on the way, but it cannot be used as a pillar.

If you want to complete the "bet" with Huang Zhengkuo and secure so much real estate, you still have to rely on the company's profits.

"Where do you start? This is not millions or tens of millions, the pressure is huge!"

"Beichuan Electrical and Mechanical has no money, so there is no need to think too much; Planet Intelligent Manufacturing has made a lot of profits, but all the money has gone somewhere and cannot be moved for the time being; Jinxi Mall takes breakeven as its main strategy, and it can't make big money at the moment. Killing chickens to keep warm; Huixin Bookstore needs to bind Jinxi Video to fill financial holes and promote listing. It cannot take away profits within two years; there is not much left to consider. "

To make quick money steadily, it is best to attribute it to personal income. Let Dai Yiqin release more records and hold more concerts is one way, but you cannot kill the goose to get the eggs. You have to consider the long-term plan, let alone filming movies and TV series. The short-term risks are high and it is not enough. Stablize.

"Zhiyin Zatan" has good profits, and the market for second-hand assembled computers and spare parts is also profitable. Coupled with consumer electronics and after-sales services, we can get some money back.

In addition, the subscription volume of "Oriental Manke" magazine has rebounded, which is also gratifying.

The gross profit margin of comic magazines is even higher than that of women's magazines. With so many teenagers across the country, the demand for high-quality animation works is astonishingly high and is even growing.

Since June this year, the subscription volume of "Oriental Manke" magazine has stabilized at more than 4.5 million, and is still rising steadily. It is very likely to regain the number one youth publication in the country.

"To make a lot of money in the short term, you still have to make money from literary and creative works. Of course, you don't sing, dance, and code by yourself, but let others do it and control the channels yourself."

Jin Shang talked eloquently, which made Li Xuan put away her worries.
"In addition, the massive copyright operations of the content division have gradually become the largest single profit part of the parent company. If nothing else, you know that the cartoon characters accumulated over decades can only be earned through image licensing in one and a half years. With a gross profit of over 60 million, you should understand how profitable this thing is.”

How to tap your own treasure house and squeeze out more value is the key.

That's not all. The groundbreaking work "Jiuding War" of "Oriental Comics", animation revenue and comic book volumes, sequels and prequels, novel adaptations, etc., already have an annual output value of more than 30 million yuan, with profits It is also steadily above 10 million.

There are at least four or five such series of IPs operating at the same time.

For example, "Resident Evil", "Three Kingdoms", "King of Fighters", etc., as well as "StarCraft", "Feng Shen", "Journey to the West", "White Snake", etc. are on the way.

After listening to Jin Shang's explanation, Li Xuan asked with some confusion:

"Why is it all like a game?"

"Hardware needs the right time, place and right people to open up a business, and you have to share money with many people. It's troublesome to keep the money of a listed company in your own pocket, but game development is all about keeping your own 'private money'."

Console games are currently one of the keys to making huge profits, and IP development closely follows. What Jinshang really has high hopes for is, of course, the epoch-making cross-platform online games.

Although the world is dominated by role-playing games at the moment, Jin Shang knows that as time goes by, the first ones to reap the benefits of the Internet are real-time strategy games (RTS) and massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPG). When it comes to e-sports, After the surge in popularity, multiplayer online tactical competitive games (MOBA) will be the next trend.

Each of them is a huge opportunity that can support a rich man, such as "StarCraft", "World of Warcraft", "DOTA", "League of Legends", "Legend of Legend", "Counter-Strike" and so on.

Some companies have already conducted internal testing of layouts. The best one currently is "Counter-Strike", followed by "StarCraft". In the first half of next year, the company will release a game called "Lich War", which is actually a new game. It is based on "Diablo", but the story background is adapted from "Buddha is the Tao", and RPG masterpieces with the same world view as "The Romance of the Gods" and "Jiuding War".

To be honest, before the advent of the era of short videos and live broadcasts, so-called Internet companies that wanted to make big money had to either become financial companies or gaming companies.

Nowadays, it’s not yet the time when card-drawing krypton gold games have become popular. High-quality games can really make a lot of money. Other practitioners may not have a clear direction and cannot grasp the context of the times. Jin Shang is different. There are time-travelers with "gold fingers" Just so confident.

Of course, Jin Shang's big IP plan is about to make another breakthrough, not the above, but the third part of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" TV series that is about to be completed and "The Legend of White Snake" which is in the later stages of production.

Needless to say, the former, especially the latter, has placed too much expectations on Jin Shang. Before the launch of "Journey to the West", it was one of the keys to connect the "mythical universe" and the "alternative historical universe".

There is no doubt that the quality of the TV series is also very high, and the TV original music has also been "borrowed" a lot by Jin Shang. Although it is not the model of "The Legend of the White Snake" that starts singing whenever they disagree, there is also quite a lot of "original" music. , even if the plot is not to your liking, the opening and ending songs and interludes will definitely become popular.

"As long as you have confidence."

Li Xuan did not try to dissuade Jin Shang's enthusiasm, but just told him not to be careless.

A wage earner only had to bear a loan for a house, but Jin Shang had to bear thousands of times more. The average person would probably be frightened out of his wits, let alone stand up straight.
