Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Thursday, November 24.

At Dream Venture Capital, there are only He Desheng and Pei Qian in the conference room, but there are more than a dozen small video windows on the big screen of the projector.

He Desheng said: "President Pei, everyone is here, should we start a meeting now?"

Pei Qian took a sip of tea: "Well, let's start."

Today, Pei Qian came to realize his dream of venture capital, and he came to the scene under the strong request of He Desheng.

So far, Dream Venture Capital has strictly followed the rules set by Pei Qian at the time and invested in about ten companies, each with an investment amount ranging from one million to two million.

This investment amount is determined by He Desheng based on the scale of these companies and the approximate amount of capital needed to start the entire business model.

In layman's terms, if the company is a start-up company and the business model does not require that much capital, He Desheng's approved investment will also be less.

Because investments are made strictly in order of first-come-first-come and first-to-last investment, the first batch of investment companies are basically start-ups.After all, these companies are most in need of money, and they are the first to come to seek investment.

If there are companies in the previous companies that make money, then according to Mr. Pei’s request, He Desheng will immediately sell the shares of these companies and continue to look for the next company to invest in the queue according to the order.

If all the companies have not made any money... Then President Pei will open champagne to celebrate.

Although all the money was invested, Yuanmeng Ventures also arranged special finance for each company to monitor the daily expenses of these companies, and held regular remote meetings to report on the financial situation.

These finances are all Tengda's old employees, who are deeply baptized by Tenda's spirit. After the assignment, there are generous subsidies. At the same time, the financial statements they make will be supervised by Tenda's financial department.

It cannot be said that there is no possibility of being bought, but the possibility is very low.

In the first video window is a female financial officer in her thirties with short hair and myopia. She is a key employee of Tenda, who has the oldest experience and strongest business ability among all the overseas financial services.

Her name is Jing Haibing, and she is responsible for the financial affairs of the cold face girl.

The reason why she was sent to the cold face girl is mainly because this project has left a deep impression on He Desheng, and it is a key project in the group of companies currently invested in.

The report officially began.

Jing Haibing looked down at the report in his hand, then raised his head and said, "Mr. Pei, Mr. He, everyone. Before reporting on the cold-faced girl’s financial situation, Mr. He hopes that I will re-emphasize the common tricks and delays in financial work. A few minutes everyone."

Not all of the finances sent out by Tenda are well-informed.

Because the finances sent out must be their own people, who have been baptized by Tenda's spirit and know the roots, so they are basically old Tenda employees.

But many of them entered Tenda not long after graduation, and they have never seen so many tricks.

After all, Tenda strictly enforces laws and regulations 100%, from procurement, reimbursement to taxation, completely clean and transparent, these people will not have the opportunity to experience various operations.

But when you go to an outside company, you will inevitably encounter all kinds of tricks, and some financial affairs that have never seen the world may be routine.

Therefore, He Desheng also wanted to use this meeting to let Jing Haibing emphasize the problems that may be encountered in the work with other financial companies, and take a vaccination in advance, so as to save some troubles when they are really encountered.

Pei Qian just wanted to listen.

After all, financial statements are piles of numbers, which sounds too boring, and these "feelings" sound a little more interesting.

Jing Haibing sorted out his thoughts and began to explain.

"The money we invest is all transferred to the company’s public account. No one is so stupid to transfer this money directly to a private account. The so-called tricky means that these company managers use some means to transfer the money. Burn it in the real business, and then use some hidden means to fill a part of it."

"Therefore, there are several common parts that must be carefully reviewed. For example, when the company purchases office supplies, the market price of 1 yuan has to go to the place that sells 2 or 3 yuan, or the unit price of the consumables is OK. , But the unit price of bulk purchases has not been significantly reduced. There must be a problem behind this."

"There are also promotional materials, posters, banners, display boards, leaflets, etc. On the surface, there are 5,000 flyers ordered, but there are only 4,000, or these materials are a mixture of genuine and fake, there is also a considerable profit margin. "

"In addition, has the company been affiliated with empty salaries, has it colluded with headhunters in private rebates to engage in Yin-Yang contracts? Are there any tricks in the advertising channels found during the advertising process? How many APP registrations are actually promoted Yes, how many of them are brushed out by someone using the program? Are there any signs of rebate, fake shipments, or fake marketing for the various physical objects, rebates and coupons given in marketing activities?"

"If it is for auditing or supervision, it is very difficult to find out these problems, but now we are directly responsible for the finances of these companies, then these problems can be avoided by finding ways."

"For the procurement of office consumables, we can purchase from Tenda's trusted channels, so that we can avoid the misuse of the money invested."

"Of course, everyone's ability and energy have their limits, and it is difficult for us to guarantee that every penny will not go wrong, but we must strive to make the company's accounts clean and not make some low-level mistakes..."

While Jing Haibing told other financial companies about the common "techniques" in these startups, he also taught everyone how to be more vigilant and preventive.

And emphasized that if problems are found, they must be reported as soon as possible.

Pei Qian was also listening carefully, seemingly calm, but actually eye-opening.

These operations are really shameful!

Obviously, in defrauding investors' money, various geniuses have emerged in an endless stream and have studied various tricks.

Of course, these pots are not necessarily all entrepreneurs, some simple entrepreneurs may be damaged by investors.Investors lead entrepreneurs to make fakes, and then give them to the next successor to make a fortune.

Pei Qian's original idea was very simple, but he didn't want these entrepreneurs to take the money he invested to eat and drink, so he chose the more troublesome supervision method of assigning finance.

It now appears that this step is really right.

Pei Qian doesn't think this will have any impact on his own loss. After all, the chances of start-ups failing are too high. Even if they are fully formalized, most start-ups cannot escape the fate of bankruptcy.

The same goes for bankruptcy to lose money. Some investors make a lot of money through various gray methods, and some investors can only get a dead salary or even carry debts. If Pei Qian chooses, he must choose the latter.

Anyway, the money has been invested in you. You make money by your ability. That is your good fortune. We immediately withdraw from Tenda; if you lose money by your ability, you will be thanked by President Pei.

The only thing is that you can't take Tenda's money and don't do personnel affairs. In the end, you can make a lot of money. That is something that President Pei absolutely cannot accept.

Soon, Jing Haibing finished speaking about the common financial problems of start-up companies, and began to report on his work on the "cold girl" side.

Pei Qian had a briefing on the situation of each company in front of him, so he picked up the briefing of "Cold Face Girl" and flipped through it.

Judging from the current situation, the development of the cold noodle girl is very smooth, and it is proceeding in full accordance with the script of Meng Chang's original plan.

The cold-faced girl's first flagship store has already opened in the Imperial Capital. Pei Qian glanced at the photo, and the store was well repaired.

The outside door faces are huge floor-to-ceiling windows, which look clean and tidy. The sign above has the iconic logo of the girl with cold face, and there is a little ancient charm in the fashion;

There should be some Western-style fast food in the store. There are beautiful photos of the food above the checkout counter. The tables and chairs are similar to Western-style fast food, but with a little bit of Chinese elements;

In the store, all the pretty young girls work as waiters. They don't have a sign of polite smile, and they show six teeth without a standard. Although they look cold, they actually seem to have a smile that seems a bit seductive.

Then came a series of marketing activities adopted by the "cold noodle girl" and the enthusiastic response on the Internet.

For example, Meng Chang rented a supercar and asked the beauty to drive the supercar to deliver cold noodles in person.

The opening bargain is that the top 100 customers who come to the store can get a free cold noodle;

Sisters who come to the cold noodle girl for dinner and post a list on Weibo @, you can get a 1888 fashion spree in a regular lottery;

Carry out the "biggest order" event. The largest order placed by the cold noodle girl within a week of opening will be fully free, and the second and third places will also receive gifts.

In addition, some special festival activities have been arranged. For example, the 7th of next month is "Heavy Snow". On this day, the cold noodle girl will launch a unique "Snowflake Roasted Cold Noodle". Customers who send Weibo can get a copy for free.

And behind these marketing activities is the rapid consumption of the book funds of the cold girl.

Meng Chang took 2 million from Yuanmeng Venture Capital and 1 million from the other two investors, for a total of 4 million.

However, spending money is also fast.

In the downtown area of ​​the Imperial City, the rent, decoration, the salary of a bunch of beautiful girls working as waiters, various subsidies for burning money, buying hot searches on Weibo, etc., need to spend money everywhere.

4 million may seem like a lot, but it really takes a long time to spend, especially Meng Chang plans to continue to open branches. Every time he opens a branch, there is an additional bottomless pit.

But even so, Meng Chang didn't do anything tricky about money. After all, Jing Haibing was in charge of the finances of the cold girl.

If Meng Chang wanted to play tricks on office supplies, promotional materials, and labor costs, and cut out some money, it would be impossible for Jing Haibing to be unaware.

Of course, as a high-level player, Meng Chang didn't intend to use this kind of mischievous means to get money.

Not to mention the feasibility issue, even if you make some tricks on the accounts and later sell it to the receiver, the back company only needs to check the accounts and directly send Meng Chang in.

Therefore, it is too low-end to behave in material and marketing expenses, and Meng Chang disdains it.

Soon, Jing Haibing finished his report.

The finances of other companies also report their own situation.
