Chapter 220: Inventory of wealth and making money, make money quickly!

"A-choo~, A-choo~~"

Huang Xu, who was chatting with his uncle in the office to discuss the next work arrangements, suddenly couldn't help but sneeze twice in succession.

Seeing this situation, Huang Wenfu quickly took out a tissue and handed it over.

"Xiao Xu, what's wrong with you? Did you catch a cold?"

"no!"

Huang Xu took the tissue and wiped it, then directly denied that he had caught a cold. However, in his mind, he couldn't help but recall what happened last night.

At that time, he and Sunny were exercising on the equipment in the apartment.

The only difference is that Huang Xu was exercising his strength, while Sunny was doing body shaping training on the treadmill and various Pilates equipment.

Everything looks very normal, except for the huge fruit on Sunny's slender waist, which is very eye-catching when she jumps around during exercise.

When Huang Xu saw it during a break in his exercise, he immediately remembered the feel of it, and became distracted, and could no longer concentrate on the exercise.

The final result was that he ignored Sunny's objections and dragged her to play a gym game on various fitness equipment.

Thinking of the scene of him and Sunny sweating profusely after exercising yesterday, Huang Xu couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

"Could it be that I didn't pay attention when I was playing yesterday and caught a cold?"

But he denied it shortly afterwards.

"This shouldn't be the case. We've played like this before, and there's never been such a thing, right?"

"Or is someone saying something bad about me?"

After complaining, Huang Xu stopped thinking about this problem and prepared to drink more hot water to prevent a cold. Then he said to his uncle Huang Wenfu:

"Uncle, let's do this for now. For this direct-operated pickled fish store, let's order 20 stores in the first batch."

"Okay, since you have made your decision, let's do as you say."

Although Huang Wenfu agreed verbally, he still felt in his heart that it was a bit risky for them to open twenty directly-operated stores at once.

You have to know that there are twenty offline stores.

Even if their stores are self-operated and they don't need to pay franchise fees or anything, the costs will still not be low.

After all, the real big expenses in offline stores are actually the rent and decoration of the store, followed by various kitchen equipment and labor.

Even with a simple calculation, the cost of opening a store would be around 50 million to 60 million won.

And according to this budget, they cannot choose particularly popular neighborhoods, so they can only find some slightly remote places, otherwise the rent will be more expensive.

After calculating in this way, they only need more than a billion won to open 20 sauerkraut fish shops this time.

For him half a year ago, this budget of more than one billion won was an astronomical figure.

But for them now, although it is not a drop in the bucket, it is not a particularly large investment. Even if they lose it all, it will not be a serious loss. At most, they will just feel uncomfortable for a while.

In fact, Huang Wenfu was also quite optimistic about pickled fish, so although he was a little worried, he still agreed to Huang Xu's plan.

After all, even if pickled fish cannot reproduce the last spicy hot pot craze and set off the entire Seoul market, it should still have a certain market and will not necessarily lose money.

After seeing that his uncle had agreed, Huang Xu continued:
"Then uncle will need to pay more attention to the next matter, especially the location of the store. After they choose it, if uncle has time, it's best to go and check it out."

"Well, don't worry, I will take it to heart."

"Then I'll have to trouble you for the next period of time."

"It's okay, we're all family."

In response to Huang Xu's thanks, Huang Wenfu just waved his hand. Seeing that the main business had been discussed, he looked at Huang Xu and asked:

"By the way, Xiaoxu, are you free these days?"

"Are you free? What's the matter, uncle? What's the matter?"

"It's something."

Huang Wenfu nodded, and then said to Huang Xu:

"Your aunt asked me to ask you when you are free so that she can come to her house to eat dumplings."

"Eat dumplings, then I'm free today."

When Huang Xu heard about eating dumplings, he immediately became excited.

As a child who grew up in Henan Province, dumplings have an extremely high status in Huang Xu's mind.

It can even be said that in Huang Xu's mind, the dumplings handmade by his family are no worse than any delicacies from land and sea.

"By the way, what kind of fillings are you going to make?"

"No, don't worry."

Huang Wenfu looked at Huang Xu's anxious expression, and a smile appeared on his face. But then he remembered what his wife had said, so he continued to say to Huang Xu:
"Don't just be yourself, okay?"

"Where are your girlfriends? Are they free? Want to come together?"

“Ah~~Is that so?”

After hearing this, Huang Xu finally understood why he was asked to come over to eat dumplings today. It turned out that the main purpose was to meet Sunny and Goo Hara.

But thinking about Sunny and Goo Hara's next plans, he said to his uncle with some disappointment:

"Both of them may not have much time now."

"Hara has been attending activities in Japan for a while now. She just asked for leave two days ago and came back. At least in the next few days, she probably won't be back."

"As for Sunny, she is currently preparing for her concert in Daban, so she probably doesn't have much time."

"Are they so busy?"

Huang Wenfu looked at Huang Xu in surprise. He obviously didn't expect that Sunny and the others would be so busy and not even in Korea.

Therefore, he could only say to Huang Xu with some disappointment:

"Okay then, let's go eat dumplings together when they come back."

"."

Seeing his uncle's disappointed look and his words that they would wait until they came back to eat dumplings, the smile on Huang Xu's face immediately disappeared.

He didn't expect that just because Sunny and the others didn't have time, he would not be able to eat his handmade dumplings, so he looked at Huang Wenfu with an exaggerated expression.

"Uncle, if they don't come back, I won't even be able to eat the dumplings Auntie made?"

"Okay, stop making trouble. Can't you eat dumplings anytime you want?"

Looking at Huang Xu's exaggerated expression, Huang Wenfu looked at him helplessly.

"Isn't it your aunt who wants to see them again?"

"Well, it seems that I am not popular in front of my aunt!"

"Okay, if you really want to eat it, let's go back together tonight and let your aunt make dumplings for you."

"Today? Maybe not today. I have something to do tonight."

"Look, you were given a chance but you didn't go. Who can you blame?"

Huang Wenfu looked at Huang Xu who decisively rejected the invitation, and simply waved his hands, indicating that it was all Huang Xu's fault.

Huang Xu rubbed his nose awkwardly at this time.

He really wanted to eat dumplings now, but he had something to do tonight.

The Tara members who were recruited by me some time ago have been called back to Korea for several days.

These past few days, the longer they stayed awake, the less confident they felt, the less hopeful they felt for the future, and they even felt a little desperate.

After all, before this, they had all taken a break for more than half a year, and the company finally arranged for them to perform in Japan again.

The result did not receive a good response, and the results were even far from expectations.

But at least there are still activities. It’s not like last year when I could only wait in the dormitory. At least there is still a little hope.

However, just when they had shown some signs of improvement, they were called back by the company and told that it had been acquired, which made them even more negative.

Every day when I have free time, I ask what arrangements the new company and the new boss will have for the people in my team.

But now, the company has been acquired for half a month, and they haven't heard any news, so they can't sit still any longer.

It was fine for the others who didn’t know that Huang Xu was the boss of the company. They just harassed the agent and asked the company.

Others didn't know the inside story, but their team leader Park So-yeon and Park Hyo-min, who was involved in the follow-up plans, knew that the company's new boss was Huang Xu, and both of them had his contact information.

Therefore, they kept sending messages to Huang Xu in the past two days, wanting to ask about their next work arrangements.

Even now they have called Sunny and Goo Hara.

Therefore, no matter what Huang Xu said today, he needed to come forward to comfort them and build their confidence.

This is also why he said that he didn’t have time to eat dumplings today.

After chatting with his uncle for a few more words, Huang Xu left his uncle's office and prepared to do some other things.

But when he stood up, he suddenly remembered another thing, so he asked his uncle:

"Uncle, how much money is left in our company account?"

"Is it on the account?"

Huang Wenfu didn't expect Huang Xu to suddenly ask this question. He was stunned for a moment, then found the report given to him by the finance department and handed it to Huang Xu.

"There are less than 5 billion won in the company's account now. What do you need it for next?"

"Less than 5 billion? How can there be only this much?"

Huang Xu looked at the number and couldn't help but frown. He was a little dissatisfied with the remaining number.

He remembered that a few months ago, there were nearly 20 billion won in the company's account. How come there is only this much left now?

Huang Wenfu also noticed Huang Xu's confusion and began to explain.

"There are only so many now. After the salaries are paid in a few days, there will be even less."

"After we collected the money, we had to pay a large sum of money for the renovation, and the equipment and materials also required a large sum of money."

"Of course, the most important thing is that we shared the profits last month. I took 100 million, but you took 2 billion." "Calculated like this, it's good to have so much left."

"And our company now has more than a hundred employees, and they need a lot of salary every month."

"If we didn't have another pickled fish franchise store coming up, I would have already laid off a bunch of people to save money."

"."

"That's true!"

Huang Xu listened to his uncle's story and touched his nose in embarrassment.

The situation is indeed just as my uncle said. Although they make money, their expenses are also quite high.

Not to mention the renovation and equipment costs, just take their dividends last month, I took away a full 2 ​​billion won.

If converted to domestic currency, that would be more than 10 million RMB.

If one's living standards are not that high, this amount of money is enough for a family to live in China for a lifetime and never spend it all.

It can even be said that if you put this money in the bank, you will never be able to spend all the interest earned every month.

Now the interest rate for a five-year fixed deposit in Hua Xia Bank has reached 4.75%.

If you calculate in this way, the interest you can get every year will reach hundreds of thousands, which is enough to cover family expenses.

The most important thing is that this is calculated based on the general deposit interest rate. For deposits of this size, you can negotiate the interest rate with the bank.

Actual earnings may be even higher.

Moreover, if you are in a smaller city, you can ask the bank to arrange a leisurely job for you, where you don't have to do anything every day and just get paid.

You will not be left out of all the gifts for festivals and holidays, and they can even arrange your annual physical examinations and travels.

But there was actually a reason why he got so much money all at once.

At that time, the main purpose of distributing dividends was to give my uncle some money to help him improve his life, so we gave him a dividend of 100 million.

However, he only held 5% of the shares in the company, while Huang Xu held the remaining 95% of the shares, so he received dividends that were 20 times that of his uncle.

This is also why he has the money to acquire Kim Kwang-soo and his CCM company.

Therefore, it is understandable that there is so much money left in his company's account.

In addition, the company's current expenses are actually very high. The company now has more than 120 employees, and their monthly salaries will cost nearly 200 million yuan.

Then there was one last expense left, his full rental business.

Thinking of this, Huang Xu no longer felt that the money was short, but was instead a little curious as to why the company still had so much money.

If they were proceeding according to their plan, shouldn't they still have so much money now?
Then he told Huang Wenfu about his doubts.

After hearing Huang Xu's question, Huang Wenfu's face suddenly showed some black lines, and he looked at Huang Xu angrily.

"You really don't care about the company."

"Well, that's not the case. I still care about the company's affairs."

"If you cared, you wouldn't ask such a question."

Seeing that Huang Xu was still trying to argue, Huang Wenfu felt a surge of anger in his heart.

I work so hard, and I can say that I have devoted 120% of my energy to my work and the company.

As a result, Huang Xu, the owner of the company and the major shareholder of the company, didn't care about the company's affairs at all.

How could he accept this? So he said to Huang Xu with a dark face:

"If you want to know the specific situation, just go and ask them yourself."

"Don't, uncle."

Huang Xu looked at his uncle, whose face was already a little gloomy, and became a little anxious, and argued to his uncle.

"I really care about the company, but I'm a little busy at the moment. Please tell me about it."

"Go out and ask for yourself."

Unfortunately, Huang Wenfu ignored Huang Xu's explanation and started serving tea to the guest.

Huang Xu saw this situation and knew that his uncle was really angry this time, so he said to Huang Wenfu:
"Then I'll go ask myself, but uncle, don't forget about the next franchise store."

Huang Xu then finished the tea in the cup and left Huang Wenfu's office.

However, this time he did not leave the company, nor did he return to his office directly. Instead, he came to the employees in charge of the full rental plan and asked them to take the information and go to the conference room to report the current situation to him.

Half an hour later, in the company's conference room, Huang Xu listened attentively to the report.

"Mr. Huang, our company currently owns a total of 27 properties."

“All of the first batch of 15 properties have been rented out, and we have received the full rental deposit from the bank.”

"Of the 12 units in the second batch, only three have been rented out. The remaining nine are still being renovated and will not be completed until May."

"."

"and many more."

Huang Xu was listening to his subordinate's report and suddenly found a problem, so he stopped his report and started asking questions.

"Why are there only twelve sets in the second batch now? Shouldn't there be thirty sets according to the plan?"

"That's right, Mr. Huang. Because house prices are rising, many homeowners who were originally interested in selling are now hesitating. They want to see if house prices will continue to rise, so they are slower to buy houses."

"Well, you continue."

After hearing this, Huang Xu also understood why there were only twelve houses in the second batch.

It is indeed as he said, housing prices in Seoul are now soaring and there seems to be no sign of stopping.

If it is your own house, no one wants to sell it unless it is extremely urgent.

At the same time, I also understood why there were nearly 5 billion in the company's account.

The main reason we have so much money is thanks to the full rental deposit, otherwise it would be a question whether there are 4 billion won in the company's account now.

Therefore, Huang Xu paid special attention to his subordinates' subsequent reports, and after listening to the reports, he also made arrangements for their next work content.

"We need to speed up the process now and try to collect more houses. Even if there is a certain premium, we can consider it."

“Similarly, after signing the contract, it is important to renovate the house as soon as possible and then rent it out.”

"The overall purpose is to speed up the purchase of houses, speed up the renovation, speed up the rental and improve the turnover rate."

"."

By the time Huang Xu finished arranging work for several people, it was already noon. After having a meal with his uncle in a nearby restaurant, he returned to his office and began to calculate his wealth.

He suddenly realized today that he had no detailed data on how much money he had, his assets, and his monthly income and expenses.

Therefore, after returning to the office, Huang Xu began to calculate how much wealth he had accumulated in the six months since his rebirth.

The first is his personal assets.

In fact, he doesn't have much cash in his hands now. Of the more than 30 million he obtained from football lottery last year, only the more than 10 million in a fixed deposit in Hua Xia Bank is left.

With the remaining money, apart from the three properties in Jiangnan District, I used it to open my current company, and then I had almost no money left.

Then there are the franchise companies, brokerage companies and Chinese software companies under his name.

There is less than 5 billion won left in the franchise company's account.

Of course, the company also has four directly-operated stores and more than 150 franchise stores.

In addition to this, there are more than twenty properties and more than one hundred employees.

The brokerage company was just purchased, and there is only a little money in the company account that is used for operations.

As for the remaining software company, it is still an empty shell and there is no money in it.

As for the millions he transferred to the country through the supply chain, there are now less than two million left.

After all, the bracelet he gave to Sunny, the necklace he gave to Goo Hara, and those small pieces of jade, totaled over two million.

Don't forget, last time he gave Sunny and Goo Hara a jewel necklace each, which cost more than one million.

Adding in the expenses over such a long period of time, he still has nearly two million in his Huaxia account, which can be said to be very lucky.

After Huang Xu finished thinking, his expression was somewhat complicated.

“Why do I feel like I’m still poor?”

Before he finished calculating, Huang Xu always felt that he was a rich man, but after he finished calculating, he just felt that he was very poor.

Although when all these things are added together, his total assets or total net worth has long exceeded 100 million, he has achieved a small goal that many people in his previous life could only dream of.

This is also the reason why Huang Xu felt that he was a rich man before today.

But this was only in the past. Now, after taking stock, Huang Xu feels that he is just a poor man, and is still a long way from being a rich man.

And most importantly, he is short of money now.

The first is the agency. The money in the agency’s account is only enough to pay two months’ salary.

If you want to produce a new album for Tara and promote it in Japan and China, you will need a large amount of funds.

The second is domestic software companies.

Now Chen Fangyi has returned to China and started communicating with programmers about the issues of domestic localization and adaptation.

This will require a large amount of funds for publicity.

Just these two big problems of lack of money made Huang Xu feel a little overwhelmed.

Although there are still 40 to 50 billion won in the company account, Huang Xu has no way to use the money now.

Because this money is prepared for the next 20 sauerkraut fish stores and employee salaries for the next few months.

So after Huang Xu calculated his own worth, he had only one thought in his mind.

"Make money, make money quickly!"
