Win every day

At that time, I told my family that I opened a restaurant with another partner and took half of the shares.

How much money you can earn is not important, this reason to make the income reasonable is what the sisters need most.

After turning around, the two sisters couldn't wait a bit, and immediately called home.

Then it was logical to tell my parents, and I opened a restaurant in partnership with someone.

As soon as Dad Pei heard this, he asked, "How much does it cost to open a restaurant?"

Pei Wenwen said, "Two million!"

Dad Pei was taken aback: "Where did you get so much money?"

Pei Wenwen said: "Oh, it's said that my sister and I own half of the shares, and we invested 100 million."

Dad Pei was still surprised: "Where did you get 100 million?"

Pei Wenwen said: "Of course I earned it. The business of the milk tea shop is very good. This year, I paid more than 60 yuan in dividends. My sister and I made about 100 yuan from stock trading. We also borrowed about [-] yuan from others to make up [-] million yuan." !"

Dad Pei couldn't believe it: "Can milk tea shops have so many points?"

Pei Wenwen said: "Of course, you and my mother haven't seen it, the queues are all outside, the annual turnover is tens of thousands, and this year opened three more branches, and the three stores made a total of more than 1000. Wan!"

Dad Pei didn't quite believe it, but he didn't know how to question it.

In the end, I had to give a few words of advice, and ended the call full of doubts.

Of course, the milk tea shop can't make so much money. It earns more than 1000 million a year, so it fools the parents who don't understand the business, as long as their money is in the right place with their parents, everything else is fine. unimportant.

Pei Wenwen waved her fist, put away the phone and went to find Chai Fang and her sister.

After they came out of the store, the two sisters suddenly remembered something and told Chai Fang about it.

Pei Shishi said: "Sister Chai, what do you think about buying an island in the South China Sea?"

Chai Fang was taken aback: "Buy an island?"

Pei Wenwen said: "Yes, we think the three ducks are very valuable for investment, but there are only so many land resources, so we want to buy an island to develop a bit of tourism industry, of course, the main thing is to buy an island to be the owner of the island is pretty good , but Brother Jiang said that you can’t buy any good islands now, so you can buy ready-made ones, we haven’t decided whether to buy them or not!”

"Buy an island to be the owner?"

Chai Fang opened her mouth, looked at the two sisters carefully, and instantly felt that she and her were not in the same world at all. She was racking her brains every day thinking about how to make money, but what she was thinking about was whether to buy an island in the South China Sea to be the owner of the island.

What is the difference? What is the difference between the two?

It's a little too shocking.

Pei Shishi said: "Don't listen to her nonsense, I just think Sanya is pretty good, it's a good place to live, and if I want to invest in more industries there, of course it would be nice to buy an island with a good scenery and run it myself !"

Chai Fang was completely powerless, and said: "If you are not short of money, you can buy it if you want to buy it!"

The two sisters said oh, and they made a decision in an instant.

Chapter 343

In the morning, Douyin Technology held its first strategic meeting in 2017.

All the executives arrived, even Yang Jiachen, who had been running around, also came.

There are two issues, one is survival and the other is the future.

This is an eternal topic. As an enterprise, the first thing to consider is survival, how to make money, and the second is sustainable development. This is also a problem that every enterprise cannot ignore after reaching a certain scale.

Even if Douyin Technology is not yet profitable, it must be based on the long-term.

Planning this thing is not static.

Every year, appropriate strategic adjustments should be made according to the actual situation.

Survival is nothing to discuss, the main thing is to make a profit.

Jiang Fan directly drew the line: "Let me tell you first, this year is the fourth year of the establishment of Douyin Technology, and I will give you the last year, five years is a cycle, this year can be adjusted for another year, and next year must profit."

Cao Guang is full of confidence: "We will be able to achieve profitability this year, and no matter how bad it is, we will be able to break even."

Jiang Fan hummed: "Confidence is a good thing. Lao Qi will come back and make a plan. How to divide the money after the company makes a profit, how much is invested in scientific research every year, how much is the salary, and how much are other expenses and reserves? Let's make a plan first."

Qi Liang said, "There is a plan for this."

Jiang Fan waved his hand: "That plan doesn't work, I've taken most of it away, what do other people share, I don't need the company's profit, I just take 1% of it, and share the rest, let others Earn more money, otherwise, what would you use to buy a house and settle in Shanghai, without even a place to sleep, so where would the motivation come from to make the company better and better."

Qi Liang hesitated: "This..."

The other executives looked at each other, wondering if the boss was sick today.

Jiang Fan asked, "Is there a problem?"

Qi Liang hesitated: "This distribution plan..."

Jiang Fan took a sip of tea and said, "Why do I need so much money? Do as I say."

Qi Liang could only nod his head: "Okay!"

The others didn't speak, but their hearts cheered up.

Although the goal of going public and becoming rich is still far away, if Boss Jiang's plan is really implemented, then in the foreseeable future, it will no longer be a dream for everyone to become billionaires, and it doesn't matter whether the company can go public or not.

And the real money you get is more attractive than the paper wealth brought by the listing.

Of course, the premise is to make the company profitable and earn enough profits.

And for this, executives have full confidence.

With the current traffic scale of Douyin, profit is inevitable.

If you can’t make a profit under the current conditions, then you should stop struggling. It’s better to go home early and buy a few acres of land to grow potatoes. And you don’t have to wait until next year, you can achieve this goal ahead of schedule this year.

The executives didn't speak, but they had various thoughts in their minds.

Jiang Fan set a goal, and then began to discuss.

How to achieve profitability, the relevant departments have already had plans and detailed plans.

Although it is just a plan, whether it can be implemented depends on the actual situation, but several departments are indeed well prepared.

There was nothing to discuss, and it passed quickly.

Then there is the second topic, to put it mildly, how to ensure sustainable development.

In layman's terms, it is how to survive without going bankrupt.

This is a topic that cannot be avoided.

It is also a problem that will be faced sooner or later.

It has been discussed many times before, and strategic plans and goals have been developed.

But this stuff is not set in stone.

Technology is constantly developing, and what was set last year may not be applicable this year.

Not to mention the future.

Therefore, it is necessary to adjust in time, adjust ideas and plans.

Jiang Fan didn't speak first this time.

Xue Tao was the first to rush to open the account: "I have always believed that if a company wants to develop sustainably, it must have core competitiveness. Where is the core competitiveness of an Internet company? I don't think it is the market, nor users and content. Not to mention the business model. If you spend all your energy on the application development level and don’t pay attention to the R&D and innovation of the underlying technology, Internet companies will have no future. Once a major change in the technical level occurs, they may be replaced. ..."

This technical nerd talked a lot, and he didn't hide it at all.

When I was the technical director before, I would still be reserved.

Now that the technical director is removed, he has no scruples about speaking.

Some words are unavoidable.

For example, Cao Guang frowned.

After Xue Tao finished speaking, he retorted tepidly: "Although technology is the main factor of core competitiveness, the business model is also an important part of the long-term development of the company. Without a good business model, how can the company get profits?" !"

Xue Tao explained: "I'm not saying that the business model is not important, what I mean is that technology is the core competitiveness of technology-led enterprises. Therefore, even if Internet companies use business models to package, they cannot do without the leading technology. .”

Cao Guang frowned again, this is a bit absolute.

But after thinking about it, there was no argument.

Today's meeting is for researching strategies, not for bragging rights.

Boss Jiang might not like it if he argues endlessly about this.

The others didn't speak, and looked thoughtful.

After a few seconds, Chen Yunfang continued: "I think we should increase penetration into other segments. Short videos are an important entrance to Internet traffic, but in terms of attributes, social shopping is the biggest demand on the Internet. At least for quite a period of time, it has an irreplaceable role. In order to maintain the continuous growth of traffic, I think it is necessary for us to increase penetration into the social and shopping fields while encouraging internal entrepreneurship and penetration and drainage into other segments... ..."

This is exactly the opposite of the idea and direction that Xue Tao has always insisted on, but it is more in line with the current reality.

But Xue Tao did not refute, he just wanted to express his point of view.

It's not that there's no tolerance for differing views.

Wu Yanmei also expressed the following point of view: "The source of technological competition is the competition for talents. In the past two years, the competition for talents among technology companies has become more intense, and the salary level of the industry is increasing rapidly. Although the company has introduced many talents, but in In terms of talent competition at the commercial end, there are still not many advantages compared to several giants. I suggest starting a talent classification mechanism to completely separate technical talents from management talents, and use different tracks to meet the salary needs of various talents... ..."

Jiang Fan's heart skipped a beat, this is a pretty good idea.

Recently, he is also considering a practical problem.

The salaries of managers and high-end technical personnel are gradually becoming unbalanced.

The salary level of individual high-end technical talents has greatly exceeded that of managers.

Before he could figure out how to solve this problem, Wu Yanmei proposed a solution.

It is a good way to classify technical talents and management personnel!

Jiang Fan didn't wrap his head around and continued to listen.

After Wu Yanmei finished speaking, other executives also expressed their views.

When Gu Feng spoke, everyone pricked up their ears. Gu Feng spoke in a calm manner, but his words were clear: "I personally agree with Mr. Xue's opinion. What is the future of Internet companies? It is a question that all Internet companies must consider. American technology giants have been investing huge sums of money to explore new technologies and new directions over the years. Domestic giants are also exploring and trying in this regard, such as the underlying logic of artificial intelligence, Application scenarios and communication technology, etc., although we are temporarily behind, we cannot always lag behind, and we must make early preparations in these key core areas..."

Qi Liang also expressed his opinion: "I don't deny the importance of technology, but we must also respect the reality. The company has not yet achieved profitability, so the first problem we face is still survival, and the capital will not be too abundant."

Others also nodded, no matter how good the ideal is, it needs money to fulfill it.

Money can do anything.

If you don't have money, everything will stop.

Gu Feng nodded: "It's just my family's opinion, we still have to respect the facts."

Jiang Fan put down his glass and made a final decision: "Toyota started researching hydrogen energy 30 years ago. Even though it hasn't made any profit until now, it still persists in research and development. This is a quality worth learning. Let's look at it from another perspective. I believe that you don’t need me to answer the question of which one can make a company go further, or a business that takes dozens or hundreds of years to complete. I believe you don’t need to answer it, and everyone will know it. Survival issues need to be considered, but I think this It should not be a big problem. If Douyin’s survival is a big problem, then we don’t need to sit here and discuss strategies. Therefore, the investment in technology research and development cannot be saved. Starting from this year, the investment in research and development should not be less than the annual 20% of the profit, the base cannot be less than one billion!"

Everyone didn't speak.

Choose to keep it even if you disagree.

There is no way, the equity of Douyin Technology is too concentrated.

Boss Jiang also has no real partners. For problems and differences in the professional field, senior executives can still argue with him, and they will fight with reason when they should. Regarding major strategic decisions, once Jiang Fan made a decision, the executives lacked enough confidence to question and refute.

The annual strategy meeting lasted for two hours.

Jiang Fan resumed his early study, and was often dragged into long meetings, sitting for the whole morning.

A few senior executives who had never held a long meeting sat with their waists sore and their buttocks aching.

Xue Tao, who disliked holding long meetings the most, broke out in a cold sweat when he left the meeting room.

If today's meeting wasn't too important, he wouldn't be able to resist making comments.

At noon, Jiang Fan went home for dinner.

The room was as warm as spring, and the two secretaries were wearing shorts with suspenders, fresh and refined.

There is also a section of belly exposed, smooth and flat, no fat can be seen at all.

It is said that the living conditions reflect the mental outlook, and the sisters are becoming more and more radiant.

Not only can it add color to the family, but it can also cook good dishes. The most important thing is that it is becoming more and more good at serving people, not only in all aspects of life, but also indescribable parts. All in all, it is very good.

Jiang Fan had just washed his hands, and all the food was already on the table.

The location has not changed for thousands of years, the uncle still sits in the middle, and the two secretaries sit on both sides.

As soon as Pei Wenwen sat down, she asked Jiang Fan, "Brother Jiang, does buying that island count?"
