Back at the courtyard, various news came in, and the relevant details were also checked one by one, and the situation became clear. The hot sales of "China Can Say No" were firstly due to the rising national sentiment in the past two years, secondly, it caught up with the outbreak point of the Taiwan Strait crisis, and thirdly, there were Wen Liang's modern marketing skills, Fan Bo's strong execution ability and Ning Xilei Fang's broad network of contacts. But in the final analysis, this is a spiritual work full of great power chauvinism. When everything is settled, or when the rulers no longer need the enthusiasm of the people to increase the bargaining chips for the government, it will inevitably be abandoned or even suppressed.
Having lived two lives as a human being, Wen Liang understood the hidden murderous intent and unpredictability in this, so when the manuscript was finalized, he modified many of the radical remarks, and used more of the Spring and Autumn style of writing to hide the opinions in seemingly objective facts, guiding the readers to comprehend, think, distinguish, and find the truth for themselves; that is why before the 8th of the month he asked Fan Bo to reduce inflammatory slogans, weaken marketing plans that provoke confrontational emotions, and go with the flow and ride on the wind, rather than cutting through the waves and being a rising tide!
But what happened today has killed all the risks in the bud! After Long Yongtu's speech, "China Can Say No" immediately became a positive example of the Republic's protection of intellectual property rights. As the most important WTO accession negotiation in the mid-1990s, whoever wants to use this book as a thorn in the sidelines would be slapping the ruling party in the face in front of the whole world.
Wen Liang walked around the room a few steps and said, "Let's get ready and have Fan Bo hold a press conference tomorrow. What do you think?"
Ning Xi poured her tea without looking up and chuckled, "Are you not going to keep a low profile?"
Maybe others would find this funny. If Phoenix Bird's current popularity is still called low-key, then what is high-profile? But Ning Xi discovered from the first day of this series of arrangements that Wen Liang had actually been suppressing, suppressing the growth of Phoenix Bird, suppressing the promotion of "China Can Say No". He could leave Fan Bo in Beijing, take full responsibility for the company's operations and publicity, and then return to Qingzhou without asking anything, but in order to be the banker this time, he did not hesitate to stay in Beijing for a month. There are many explanations for this contrasting attitude, but one thing is certain, that is, the energy he invested in Phoenix Bird is less than half of his total energy.
In other words, if Wen Liang were to take action personally, the Phoenix Bird would be at least twice as famous as it is now!
Wen Liang couldn't say that it was because of the fate of this book being banned in the previous life that he had to be cautious. Anyway, his image has always been that he is cautious and prudent, and he can fool people by just saying a few nonsense about safety first. Hearing this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "With Long Yongtu's speech, it's like a talisman for us. Let's invite a few leaders from the cultural department to the company to guide our work tomorrow. Once a positive example is established, even if there is any trouble in the future, we will have done nothing wrong. Maybe we can even earn some sympathy and get some compensation from other places."
Before you win, consider losing. Wen Liang is best at taking advantage of the situation. Since you, Long Yongtu, dare to start this, if he doesn't take the opportunity to cut off a few pounds of flesh from the other party, he will be too ashamed to see the elders of Qingzhou again. Ning Xi sipped her tea slowly and said, "Just do it if you want to. I will always support you. Besides, it's just a book. There is no anti-party or anti-government speech or thought. How much can it cause jealousy? This time, we are at least winning glory for the country. A bigger momentum will benefit everyone. I don't think it's a big deal!"
The plan was set, and Wen Liang called Fan Bo to inform him to rush to the courtyard. However, Mr. Fan had become a celebrity now, with many reporters chasing him. It took him more than an hour to shake off the reporters and slip into the courtyard.
When Lei Fang and Zhu Zixuan finished arranging the trivial matters at Tongtai Securities and returned to the courtyard, Fan Bo had quietly left. Lei Fang was accompanied by two accountants, both of whom were elites in the industry and trustworthy. After four hours of careful calculations and three comparisons, the final profit of this banker was finally released!
Generally speaking, based on the 100% increase in the price of a stock, the banker's profit should be maintained at around 50%. Putting aside the basic costs such as buying at low prices, interest on borrowing funds, stamp duty, transaction tax, etc., the costs consumed in washing the market, shaking out the warehouse, lifting the price, and selling the goods during the market making process should also be calculated. Overall, if the target stock rises by 100%, the banker will make a profit of 50%!
Of course, this ratio is not fixed. If the trader is of high level and has strong financing ability, and the dealer's public relations and news release are in place, the profit rate can rise by 5%-10%, that is, up to 60%; on the other hand, the dealer's cost is always changing. The cost of absorbing funds and shaking the warehouse at a low level is different from the cost of sideways movement at a high level. Sometimes you have to buy high and sell low, and sometimes buy low and sell high. Every second, every minute, the cost of every share is fluctuating.
Therefore, calculating the profits is a very complicated and difficult process. Fortunately, the two people Lei Fang found are top talents in the industry. After careful calculations according to a complete set of accounting rules, Wen Liang and the other two received detailed financial statements at twelve o'clock in the evening.
There were two financial people, one male and one female, and the female explained each item in detail to Wen Liang and the other two. Ning Xi and Wen Liang were both rational people at work, so they certainly didn't think there was anything wrong with such clear-cut accounting. Lei Fang had invested in the company just to make money, and after two months of hard work, he was even more excited and listened attentively.
Therefore, Baidu wanted to come in several times to ask if they wanted to prepare midnight snacks, but she turned back every time she reached the door. The atmosphere in the room made it difficult to disrupt it!
“… At an average price of 1.75, the stock was absorbed by about 5%, which is more than 343,000 lots, and the cost was more than 59 million; at an average price of .75, the stock was absorbed by 0%, which is more than 196,000 lots. However, due to repeated wash trading, buying low and selling high, there was an intraday profit of about 0%, and the cost was more than 40 million…”
"In the range of $4.55 to $7, the cost per share is..."
“At 10 to 11 yuan, we received high-level liquidation orders, but the number was not large, accounting for only 1%…”
…
"In summary, the total investment this time is 274.46 million yuan, and the number of outstanding shares is 78.4 million, with an average price of about .5 per share."
This data is quite different from Wen Liang's original estimate of 150 million, because he did not plan to raise the price to above 15 yuan before selling. However, as the trading progressed, he found that the enthusiasm of stockholders far exceeded expectations, and the market trend was getting stronger and stronger, so he adjusted his expectations during the trading session. Ning Xi also urgently borrowed 100 million in cash from outside. Although the interest rate was a bit high, it was not worth mentioning compared to the income obtained.
This once again proves how important it was for Wen Liang to conduct a small-scale rehearsal before the 1997 economic crisis. Otherwise, it would be too naive to think that you can dominate the unpredictable stock market just because of your past life experience and foresight. Once you encounter an unexpected situation, you will die without knowing how you died!
"In terms of shipments, 156,800 lots of stock were sold at an average price of 16.5, earning over 256 million yuan. Other lots were sold at 15.56, 16.40, 17...."
…
"The total revenue is 835.25 million yuan," the female accountant paused, her voice trembling slightly, and said, "RMB!"
Lei Fang's hand trembled slightly, and his breathing suddenly became tight. Ning Xi and Wen Liang looked at each other, and saw calm joy and unobtrusive composure.
The male financial officer added at the right time: "Excluding the 270 million yuan in fundraising costs, 83 million yuan in interest, and more than 3.8 million yuan in salary deductions and other expenses, the final cost is 356.8 million yuan, and the net profit is 478.45 million yuan!"
After Lei Fang repeatedly confirmed the profit, he personally sent the two financial officers away. As for what to say and what not to say, Wen Liang believed that even if Lei Fang did not tell them, these two veterans who were used to doing this knew it very well.
"Four hundred and seventy million..."
Wen Liang chuckled and said, "Do you know what this number means?"
Ning Xi lazily sat on the sofa. Although the number was astonishing enough, it was still not impressive to her eyes. She asked, "What does it mean?"
"It illustrates an old saying: A man cannot become rich without unexpected wealth!"
Ning Xi burst out laughing and said, "Only 400 million..."
Wen Liang stared mischievously and said, "Sister, if 400 million RMB were converted into one-yuan coins, do you know how much it would weigh? A full 240,000 kilograms!"
Ning Xi helplessly matched the surprised expression and said, "Wow, it's so heavy?"
"Okay," Wen Liang was completely defeated by Ning Xi and said, "The joy of earning 400 million was ruthlessly dispelled by you. I want to make up for it!"
Ning Xi was just about to tease him when Lei Fang pushed open the door and walked in. His face looked much calmer, but his unnatural steps still revealed his inner thoughts.
Wen Liang was very sensible this time. Without waiting for Lei Fang to speak, he said with a smile, "There is nothing more joyful in life than drinking big bowls of wine, eating big mouthfuls of meat, and then sitting down to divide the spoils. Brother Lei, I am lucky to have fulfilled my mission and not lost your 50 million."
With gentle means and intentions, of course, it would not be so straightforward, but the meaning was expressed very clearly at the same time. How much money is divided according to the number of shares you own. This is the only criterion for a long-term partnership in business!
With a capital of 270 million, 50 million is 18.5% of the share, which means 88.6 million can be shared. In two months, he can make a net profit of 40 million without any risk. Even Lei Fang himself did not expect such a good thing!
"... But Brother Lei has been running around and has put in a lot of effort. I'll make the decision and round it up. I'll give you 100 million out of the 470 million profit!"
"ah?"
