Chapter 352 Throwing Money
As for whether the layout of the education and training industry will trigger a new round of industry involution, Jinshang cannot predict.

Anyway, someone has to make the money in the end, so it is better to do it yourself, slightly raise the threshold, prevent bad money from driving out good money, ensure quality and quantity, so that every penny spent by parents can be spent wisely, and effectively improve students' performance.

As long as the selection method of examinations still exists, parents will never attach low importance to education.

With the improvement of the domestic economy, it is common for ordinary families to raise two or three children, not one or two for more than five.

A substantial increase in population is foreseeable in the next few years. Only when urbanization reaches a certain level can it be possible to alleviate this trend.

You don’t need to look ahead, just look at the training classes all over the streets to understand.

Jinxi Culture has not been involved in the education industry for a long time. It used to carry out activities based on the "Jingxi Metropolis Daily". After a year and a half of hard work, it has gained a certain reputation in the local area, so Zhao Rongzhen thought about horizontal expansion. There's not much room for a tabloid business.

Serial Novel Supplement After many considerations, Jin Shang rejected the proposal to establish a new serial magazine, but the education section was successfully separated, and a monthly magazine called "Teaching and Research Journal" was born, focusing on mathematics and English, which are in greatest demand. , supplemented by content such as physics, chemistry, geography and Chinese, it has barely been recognized by local primary and secondary school teachers and parents.

Four issues have been issued so far, and it has been promoted in its training courses and cooperative schools. As for whether it can continue to expand its influence, it still requires efforts, and of course greater support and investment.

After reading Zhao Rongzhen's plan, it was generally pretty good. In Jin Shang's eyes, it was all about "asking for money", which really made people feel a little confused.

During this period, Xiaojin’s personal debt was high, but Jinxi Culture’s cash flow was still abundant. Overall, it was very healthy. Funding investment was not a problem. The difficulty was whether it had enough ability to integrate high-quality resources in the western Beijing area and smoothly Expand to the entire Gyeonggi region.

"A school for employees' children? I understand!"

There is no doubt that public schools are being built at a rapid pace, and everyone is working hard, but everyone is not sure whether there will be enough.

"Elementary school and junior high school are a bit more difficult. High school is relatively easy, but it's not easy to get started."

In the next one or two years, the company's direct employees in the Gyeonggi region may exceed 5,000, directly corresponding to tens of thousands of school-age children. In addition, the youth trend of Jinxi culture is obvious, from kindergarten to high school, the demand is astonishingly large.

"Compared with the benefits, some risks are worth taking. Besides, as long as we do a good job of internal monitoring and control the quality, there should be no mistakes."

“Are there any existing schools that have operational difficulties and need to be integrated with external funds?”

"The qualification issue can be solved with President Jin's relationship. The key is that it is difficult to recruit good teachers. Running a school in a serious way is not the same as teaching and training. The difference is quite big."

This is not the way of a profit-oriented commercial company, but the instinct of a consortium with a strong appetite.

"Mr. Jin, as someone in the media industry is involved in education and training, as far as I know, there are already several newspapers ready to test the waters. Although we are one step ahead, it is hard to say whether we can take the biggest cake. If we invest more now, we will be better off in the future. Just earn ten more points.”

After thinking about the vocabulary, Editor Zhao said:
"Some time ago, Mr. Jin said that there have been two pilot projects in the internal nursery. Judging from the current situation, it is okay and can make everyone more convenient."

Education requires investment and concentration. If you engage in it with a half-hearted attitude, you might as well not come in the first place.

As for teaching and training qualifications, offline teaching locations, and the participation of local primary and secondary schools, it is relatively easy.

In a few years, Jinxi Culture will become a super corporate consortium spread across the country. How to bring hundreds of thousands of people together into a whole is not enough to rely on the blessing of the "Golden Broom". It must have truly thoughtful benefits to retain people's hearts.

"If I want to open a private school, is it easy to do it now?"

"That's it! Don't be too anxious about this matter, but keep it in mind. Since you have decided to do education and training, let's start laying out the surrounding upstream and downstream."

"What's the difficulty?"

West Beijing is an emerging urban area in the capital, with a large number of non-locals. It is difficult to settle in the city and it is difficult for children to go to school. These are two major problems that affect employees' sense of belonging.

“Isn’t the education industry profitable? It just depends on whether you want to make money. In the field of unilateral information asymmetry, it all depends on the conscience of the controller! 』

Many urbanites did not understand that until the next fifteen years of the new century, there were a large number of schools for the children of migrant workers in first- and second-tier core cities.

Speaking of this, Jin Shang suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but ask:

"That's all."

After discussing for a while, Jin Shang watched the two generals leave.

Jin Shang is not a hesitant person who will hesitate to move forward because of these shortcomings. Now that she has decided to do it, she will believe in Editor Zhao's ability. Since she can manage the "Jingxi Metropolis Daily" in an orderly manner and handle other affairs part-time appropriately, it should be I won't give up on this matter.

Jinxi Culture can offer a higher salary than its peers, but it should not be too exaggerated in terms of benefits. It is easy to get promoted but not downgraded. Judging from the current company system, with the "gold finger" to protect it, the turnover rate is low. of.

"Summer vacation is coming soon, I hope it will have a good start..."

"My suggestion is to first set up a specialized education group subsidiary for dedicated operations, focusing on acquisitions and integration, supplemented by self-construction. The former can quickly take shape, while the latter... is too slow. The construction cycle of a primary school above a certain size is It will take about two years to build a teaching staff and recruit students from scratch. It is estimated that it will take three years at the earliest and five years at the latest to be fully on track. "

"Very few, but I can't say there is none at all. I'm going to ask an acquaintance to find out."

Seeing that Jin Shang's expression remained unchanged, Editor Zhao tentatively asked:

"I know, but I'm a little worried about public opinion. This industry... is very sensitive. Making money is making money. If something goes wrong, it will be very painful."

Ecological closed loop in the Internet field?
Jin Shang and his strategic partners have more ambitions than that!
In the asset package that Lao Huang sent over, there were some scattered public welfare lands, some of which were rented to others, and some of which were not put to much use.

Finally, Jin Shang agreed.

These days, companies that can provide accommodation for their employees are the best, and companies that can solve the problem of children going to school are even rarer.

It is not easy to increase wages and bonuses directly, but making breakthroughs in soft benefits can also enhance the company's attractiveness to talents.

"I don't know whether Jin always wants to make money or for charity. In the latter case, it would be good to just donate money to support education. Leave the specific matters to professionals. If he wants to make a profit, I'm afraid... it's not a person. good idea."

Big means good, all means strong.

After finally convincing the boss to agree, Editor Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.

There are so many ways to make money, and extracurricular training is enough trouble.

It's impossible to be free, but it's not expensive either. It just covers the operating expenses. It's much cheaper than its counterparts outside, and it's endorsed by the company's credibility, which is even more reassuring.

"Kindergartens and primary schools are mainly semi-charitable, while junior high schools and high schools are dedicated to further education and talent training. As for the scale, it depends on the future situation. If there are capable talents to take charge of the overall situation, it can be expanded appropriately. If not, focus on Gyeonggi, a town with a large population, or a school for employees’ children.”

The situation in this life is more complicated, with a large land area and rapid population growth. It is estimated that when the mobile Internet era comes, it will be close to the same period in the previous life and its stamina will be even stronger.

It's a pity to leave it idle like this. We have to find ways to use it. Building schools is a good way. Even if we don't make money directly from it, the consumer market is there and it can bring great benefits.

Not to mention anything else, teaching aids, extracurricular training, etc. can be used as a foundation to develop and grow.

Of course, there are still many hurdles that need to be overcome.

With this thought in mind, Jin Shang dialed Huang Zhengkuo's phone number.
-
On December 31st, the last day of 1996, after bargaining with Lao Huang, Jin Shang reluctantly persuaded him to help smooth things over. After in principle eliminating the difficulties for Jin Shang to conquer the education industry, Jin Shang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Whether the investment in this thing is large or small all depends on personal appetite. At present, I still adhere to the attitude of doing as many things as I can, and I don’t expect to become a fat man in one bite.

Fortunately, there is already a foundation. There are several public welfare lands under the old Jinmen that are rented to nearby schools. The relationship is not bad. We have been in constant contact in the past, and there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future.

In addition, Beijing Northern United Football Club also has in-depth cooperation with local football-specific primary schools, and they can more or less talk about it.

After Lao Huang passed the qualification review, all that was left was to pay.

Two hundred million was invested in batches over four quarters, which is not a small amount in this year.

After settling a minor matter, Jin Shang came to the team's training ground and watched the interaction between the coach and the players.

The first team has been on vacation long ago, and only the youth training at all levels are still there. From time to time, they go out to play practice matches with other club echelons. Most of the players are locals. It is the club's practice to come here today. Not to mention those from out of town and those on vacation. Almost all of them who are still in the capital are here.

The main purpose is to meet up and down throughout the year, get familiar with each other, and connect with each other. The early exercise is just symbolic. Later, we will give out some souvenirs, receive some bonuses, and have lunch before disbanding.

The split nearly forty years ago had a profound impact on the team.

Unity has almost become the highest requirement of the club. All threats that hinder the team's cohesion will be eliminated.

Crossing his arms and watching the adult players leading the young people to warm up easily, Jin Shang looked at the abilities and potential of most of the players through Baize glasses and became more confident about relegation next year.

There is a little bit of slack, and the ability of the old players has declined, but they can still play. Captain Pasang Tsering will be 37 next year. Most players will have retired at this age. His physical condition is maintained well, and he can play in the relegation team. The main force is not a problem. With rich experience, it can also improve the stability of the team, which is particularly important.

Young players are still very immature, but fortunately they work hard and have someone to guide them, so they can exert 70% to 80% of their strength, which is enough.

If we sign three or four more capable foreign players, relegation won't be a big problem.

In the fierce league that lasts for a year, the competition is not about temporary bursts, but long-term endurance. To put it in layman's terms, it means it's better than bad. As long as you make fewer mistakes, there's a high probability that your results won't be too bad.

If you want to go further and even compete for the championship, that is a problem on another level.

While he was sighing, he noticed the sound of footsteps coming from behind. Jin Shang looked back and saw the belated Ajima walking over from the locker room.

"Mr. Xiao Jin..."

"better?"

"almost."

Not long ago, Ajima suffered a minor injury and was recuperating. It was almost time to start recovery training. Judging from her walking posture, she should not be very smooth yet.

"How do you feel about this national football training camp?"

“It’s a little difficult to communicate with others if you don’t know them well.”

In the middle of the year, Ajima played a few warm-up matches with the National Youth Team, and his performance was acceptable. He also participated in two national football training camps, but did not play in any important games. At the end of the year, it is said that there will be a Lunar New Year Cup, an invitational tournament, etc. During the game, he was injured in training.

It's hard to say whether someone deliberately "played a bad role". In short, he won't be able to play in the game for three months.

In the past, he went to training camps alone, without even acquaintances, and was more or less lonely. In the future, the Northern United Football Team will also be a top league team, so the situation should improve.

Apart from the captain, Ajima is currently the most famous signature player.

"Take your time. The team is upgrading too fast, and many constructions have not kept up. It depends on you to avoid relegation next year."

"I understand that the team atmosphere is very good. Everyone lacks strength and experience, but they all work hard and will get better in the future."

"Huh? It's like you know what other teams are like. There's no comparison. How do you know?"

"The captain taught me this! There are cliques in the locker room, disagreements between players and coaches, team leaders fighting for power, and technical directors unwilling to be left alone."

Ejima couldn't help but laugh as she spoke.

Pasang Tsering, who became famous in his early years, has traveled almost everywhere from top leagues to amateur leagues. In terms of experience, few professional players in the country have as much knowledge as him, with ups and downs. What doesn't he know?

In comparison, Northern United Football Club is pretty good.

Whether it's good or not depends on comparison.

"I'm still very lucky to come here to play football. I heard that some of my friends from my hometown broke their legs while riding horses, some had accidents while riding motorcycles, and some committed crimes and were admitted to the team. If I hadn't been banned by the team, If you take him in, the outcome will probably be no different."

Unemployed people on the West Coast are, to put it mildly, idle prairie bosozozos. They have no university to study for, and have no place to vent their abundant energy. They are prone to trouble, but it is not incomprehensible.

Although playing football is not a lifelong career, it is still a professional player after all. If you play football, it will still be very honorable.

"Keep it up, and maybe one day you will be able to return home."

Ejima grinned and nodded slightly to the little boss.

"By the way, there's something I forgot to mention!"

The young man with a healthy bronze face said coquettishly,

"Before, I didn't know that Mei Shuying was the little boss's cousin and had expressed love to her..."

"Eh...is this happening? Why didn't I know..."

"While being interviewed."

"The results of it?"

"no respond."

"You are taking a bold step forward. Your courage is commendable."

Jin Shang said as he patted Ajima on the shoulder.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you, she is not easy to mess with. If we really fight head-on, you may not be your opponent."

"No way?"

"It's scarier than you think."

That guy Mei Fengchun bullied Xiao Jin so much when he was a child because of the early development of girls. Later he also learned boxing and fighting. He has a very strong fighting ability. He is definitely not a fancy boxer, nor is he practicing "gangster excitement boxing". Most young men are still Really no match.

"Then... forget it. I didn't have high hopes. I didn't expect that she is not an ordinary female star."

Being famous and coming from an unusual family background, Ajima was immediately put off.

"It's not a bad thing to miss a girl."

Ajima is three years older than Jin Shang. At this age, it is normal to have unstable thoughts. If she can settle down locally, get married and have children like Pasang Tsering, the possibility of being poached in the future will be much lower.

The backbone of the team cannot be poached over and over again, as it will damage morale.

A local player with outstanding strength like Ajima is really the favorite of various clubs. He is luckier than Pasang Tsering. He has a big brother to take care of him when he debuts, so he will not make detours.

The captain, who spent more than ten years trying to return to the top league, is on the verge of retirement and cannot play for two years.

The best years have passed in wasted time, which is a pity.

Compared to individual players, Jin Shang pays more attention to the overall situation of the team.

At present, the market valuation of the mid- and lower-tier teams in the First Division League is between 60 million and 80 million, but the actual sales are much higher than this. Teams like the Beijing Northern United Football Team are full of stories. , you can’t even buy it twice as much.

As time goes by, this football team will become more and more valuable.

"Let's revise the portal website to strengthen the influence of the sports section. By the way... Cooperate with Jinxi Video and win the exclusive broadcast rights on the Internet! Anyway...it only costs a few dollars now. While cultivating the market, it can also add a little gimmick to the listing! 』
