Chapter 411 Don't Deduct My Money
In order to invest in Ctrip, Lu Ze also came prepared.
And he came just right, and he would not achieve such a good result if he had earlier or played a little earlier.
Too early, the sense of crisis of breaking the capital chain will not be so strong, and the four gentlemen of Ctrip will not be so happy.
If it were one week later, Ji Qi would probably have found IDG's acquaintance Zhang Suyang to get a $500,000 investment, and it wouldn't be Lu Ze's turn to pick up this cheap one.
If you want to invest at that time, you can only intervene in the A round, which is not a big loss.
The timing was so coincidental, Lu Ze really had to thank Lao Wang from the bottom of his heart. If it weren't for his phone number, Lu Ze might not have thought of the missed Ctrip.com.
After the terms were negotiated, Lu Ze did not even give them the qualification to repent, and signed them with TS on the spot.
After the next day, lawyer Song Qiming made arrangements and signed the investment agreement, the investment will be completely confirmed.
After arranging the four gentlemen of Ctrip, Lu Ze was in a good mood.
If you keep holding this 20% of Ctrip shares, it will not be cashed out for only 500,000 US dollars, and then it will increase by more than thousands of times in the future.
No business makes money faster than venture capital, especially early-stage venture capital in the primary market.
A hundreds of times return is just a start, and it is not impossible to make tens of thousands of times.
More than ten years later, Wang Gang, an angel investor of Didi Taxi, invested 700,000 RMB in an angel round, and the return after Didi went public was nearly ten thousand times.
For the same Didi project, SoftBank Masayoshi Son invested tens of billions of dollars, with a return of only 10%.
Although Masayoshi Son invests in a larger scale, in terms of the return on investment and efficiency of the funds, it is obvious that Wang Gang's 700,000 RMB is more impactful.
This is why Lu Ze would not invest in Xiao Ma Ge now. Now that the Angel Round has raised more than 4 million US dollars in Tencent. If Lu Ze invests in this round, wouldn’t he spend more than 32 million US dollars like the South African Press Group?
Not to mention that this advantage is not easy to take, Lu Ze doesn’t have that much spare money right now.
He has to invest money in so many businesses under his jurisdiction, and the resort villa in Qingchengshan is also a big deal. Now he really has no energy to work on Tencent.
Although no matter how much you invest in Tencent, it is a business that is stable and profitable, sometimes careers are not just about book numbers.
Just like Xia Qinghe's father Lao Xia, although his wealth is not as good as the top ones in the rich list on the surface, Lao Xia's energy is not inferior to them at all.
There are even a few who are far inferior to Lao Xia. Although their wealth book numbers are higher than Lao Xia, so what?
NetEase's Ding Sanshi once became the world's richest man in a few years, but Ding Sanshi's influence is far less profound than that of some old-fashioned rich people.
Therefore, in Lu Ze's opinion, it is better to put it in the Tencent Factory.
What's more, in Lu Ze's mind, there was still something to say whether to invest in Goose Factory, and he was planning another idea in his mind.
After signing TS, Lu Ze rejected Fan Xie's proposal to invite him to dinner.
He took Zhang Cheng back to the company directly. As an investor, it is better to keep a little mysterious. It is not advisable to get too close to the four gentlemen of Ctrip at this time.
Otherwise, when they are desperate next year and then seek it on their own, it will be too ruthless.
If you really want to contact them, you will wait until Ctrip's A round of financing is completed next year.
When he returned to the company, he told Zhang Junying to arrange the funds in advance and immediately transferred the money to them as soon as the investment agreement of Ctrip was signed.
Let Ctrip’s four gentlemen see that he is an investor, he is nothing else, he just pays it with pleasure.
As for the things in the company, he doesn't want to care about it for the time being, because of the group reorganization, each department is very busy.
Anyway, Zhang Ying was staring at him, and he was too lazy to worry about the very detailed things.
After dealing with some important things, Lu Ze drove back to school and came to the villa to find Xia Qinghe, Han Xu and the others for dinner.
Today is the end of the month and it is also the weekend, and they should be in the office.
[Tesgo Mall] The first month of operation, today is the day to take stock of the inventory, which can be regarded as a summary of the hard work during this period.
When Lu Ze walked into the office, except for the customer service lady Zhou Tong, who was busy contacting the agents, Xia Qinghe, Qi Yuxuan, Han Xu and Du Tianlin, were all holding a form to order the goods.
Han Xu and Du Tianlin are taking stock of 3C digital products, while Xia Qinghe and Qi Yuxuan are taking pictures of beauty, cultural and creative products together.
Seeing Lu Ze come in, Qi Yuxuan immediately shouted: "Mr. Lu, you are here, why don't you come quickly to help you take stock of it."
"Okay, if I had known that I would have come later, I would have been arrested if I came too early." Lu Ze teased helplessly.
Seeing that Lu Ze's attitude was very incorrect, Qi Yuxuan shouted in anger: "Qinghe, look, this guy is a big boss, but he doesn't care about his business at all. Now I ask him to help take a look, shouldn't that be?"
"Okay, yes, you yell less, I'll help now." Lu Ze replied angrily.
He left all the billions of business in the company and left it to Zhang Yan to deal with it. [Tesgo Mall] this playground thing, he had to be concerned about it before he could have a ghost.
But this idea could not be expressed in front of everyone. He had no choice but to take a form helplessly and help Xia Qinghe and Qi Yuxuan to check it out.
Qi Yuxuan smiled with satisfaction and squeezed his eyes mischievously at Xia Qinghe.
There is no way, not only does the unit price of the beauty products they checked are low, but there are many types and inventory, which makes it annoying to take stock of them.
Unlike Han Xu and Du Tianlin, those 3C digital products are quite easy to drive.
With Lu Ze's help, the inventory speed will naturally be much faster.
When Xia Qinghe saw Lu Ze obediently, she helped to take stock of it. She also laughed secretly. Sometimes this guy was not as dishonest as his mother said.
With Lu Ze's help, the progress of several people was indeed much faster.
After Han Xu and Du Tianlin took stock of the 3C products, they also came to help and helped to inventory the inventory.
When they finished ordering the goods and then cleared the accounts, the customer service lady Zhou Tong had already come home from get off work.
Lu Ze was shocked when he took the newly released financial statements.
After a month, [Tesgo Mall] actually achieved a turnover of millions, which was completely beyond his expectations.
Calculate the gross profit margin, wouldn’t [Tesgo Mall] make a gross profit of 300,000 to 400,000 yuan?
You know, there are no e-commerce these days, and sales channels have not been developed. There are not many retail chain stores, and the profits of the product channel are very high.
The channel gross profit margin of 3C products can reach 20-30%, and beauty products can even reach 60-70%.
Lu Ze carefully estimated that the market of more than 20 universities in Magic City, the average monthly sales of a school is only 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, which is not very exaggerated, and it is even slightly lower.
On the one hand, students are not that rich these days, and on the other hand, [Tesgo Mall] is not doing well enough in the markets of various universities.
Lu Ze is no longer looking down on this profit now, but for Xia Qinghe, Han Xu, Du Tianlin and Qi Yuxuan, it is a huge sum of money.
The company's operating costs are deducted, the salary of the customer service lady and part-time classmates is deducted, and the commissions to campus agents are deducted. Overall, the net profit is more than 200,000 yuan.
Wouldn't the four of them get more than 20,000 yuan each with 10% shares?
There were no outsiders at this moment, Qi Yuxuan couldn't help but shout excitedly: "Hahaha, I'm getting rich..."
Han Xu and Du Tianlin were also shocked. Although they understood that [Tesgo Mall] had a good start and their business was getting better and better, they had not taken stock of it before, and they were not sure how much money they could make.
Now, looking at the numbers on the report, they looked at each other with disbelief.
If you have 20,000 yuan a month, wouldn’t you earn all the tuition fees for four years of college?
You know, the parents at home are only getting a few hundred yuan a month’s salary now. It probably takes several years for parents to save so much money.
But I just wanted to work part-time, but why did I make so much money in just one month?
After all, Han Xu and Du Tianlin are boys, so they should be more rational and soon came to their senses.
The two looked at Lu Ze, and saw that he was full of inattention, and seemed to be very disdainful of the financial statements. The two looked at each other and thought something had happened.
However, Xia Qinghe has seen the world after all, and she is the most calm among the four.
This dividend was nothing to her before, and naturally she would not be as excited as Qi Yuxuan.
However, the look she looked at Lu Ze was a little more inexplicable.
Qi Yuxuan laughed for a while, but still couldn't help but feel excited. She shouted again: "Let's go, let's have a big meal tonight, let's go with a small seafood barbecue."
"Yes, yes, we should celebrate." Du Tianlin also agreed.
Han Xu laughed and said, "Haha, I like it the most. I'll treat you tonight, go, go, go..."
"Use you to show off? Keep the money and invite me alone next time. Today, Boss Lu must pay for it. We only earn a lot of money. He, a capitalist, earns more, who will not invite him?" Qi Yuxuan immediately started to cheer for the slaughter.
When Lu Ze heard this, he was speechless and couldn't help but tease, "Brother Qi, you are quite protective of food! Can you still get along in the future?"
He just mocked Qi Yuxuan. Before he could officially become Han Xu's girlfriend, he knew that he would save money for him. This idea was unsatisfactory.
"Don't talk about those people, you should treat them today, right? Qinghe?" Qi Yuxuan's face turned slightly red.
Of course she understood what Lu Ze meant, so she immediately asked Xia Qinghe for help.
Xia Qinghe smiled and couldn't help but quip: "Haha, look, whoever is biased today should treat you..."
"Qinghe, you've had enough. Just forget it when you are always looking at him, but it's not reliable at critical moments. The boat of friendship can overturn as soon as possible." Qi Yuxuan didn't know how to make fun of it and immediately responded.
Xia Qinghe couldn't help pinching her: "It's all nonsense!"
"Ah, you're going to die, you're going to have such a ruthless hand." Qi Yuxuan pretended to be pinched and jumped away and shouted exaggeratedly.
Xia Qinghe said angrily: "You don't act anymore, I don't try hard at all."
"Hehe, I know, Qinghe, you love me the most, why do you exert force? So, I must be reluctant to let me treat you tonight, right?
We will continue to carry forward the spirit of fighting landlords and let Lu Ze treat him tonight." Qi Yuxuan rubbed over with shameless face and held Xia Qinghe's arm and started to show off his charm.
Xia Qinghe would not let her go easily: "You have less food and drinks on your daily basis? You have made money today, shouldn't you treat me?"
"I didn't get the money today, I'm powerless, hehe..." Qi Yuxuan started to play tricks on him.
When Lu Ze saw Qi Yuxuan's wealth-loving look, he thought of many interesting things in her previous life.
He couldn't help but tease her again and said, "Okay, stop making trouble, let's clean up and eat skewers."
I paid tonight, Qi Yuxuan treated her to the guests, and all the expenses turned back and deducted from her dividends, and it was decided so happily."
"Ah..., no, I can't deduct a penny from the first month's salary. That would be too unlucky." Qi Yuxuan cried with a sad face, as if she was trying to deduct money than to take her life.
