Before the New Year, Tang Jiao felt that twenty-four hours a day was not enough.
Whether it's a newspaper office or "Wenxiang", both stores are very busy.
As the boss, Tang Jiao was naturally extremely tired. In addition to some early marketing methods and publicity, she also has to do the accounting at the end of the year.
Although each store has a special staff to calculate the accounts, she only looks at the general ledger, but she can't ignore it, especially Wenxiang, who also has 40% of Gu Tingyun's shares. Naturally, she had to do it clearly and clearly.
The newspaper office had a short time and few accounts. Tang Jiao calculated the costs and found that although it had only been open for half a year, excluding her early investment, it turned out to be a slight profit. It is very rare for a newly opened newspaper to achieve such a level.
Tang Jiao is already planning to increase the publication frequency of the Evening News by two issues per month for the second year, so that four issues per month is not very frequent, but it is also very good.
Compared with the current situation, Li Langning is also very satisfied. He is the general manager and knows the situation in the accounts best. Tang Jiao Newspaper Company has supported so many people, so it is not a bad treatment to everyone. Under such circumstances, it is an unexpected surprise that the newspaper company can have a balance within half a year.
Li Langning came to Tang Jiao to discuss the general direction for next year. He was very enthusiastic: "Although it seems that we are not very profitable now, I am confident that we can do better next year. Especially for the pictorial, since Wen Xiang this time The sales are so hot, and the publicity is almost an instant success, I have already asked several companies here to discuss advertising. Currently, eleven companies have signed contracts, and some are still in negotiation, but because of the January, so the accounts have been rolled up to the new year.”
Speaking of which, Li Langning lamented that there were actually people who were interested before, but were unable to make a move. Who knew that in just a few days, earth-shaking changes would occur.
If we want to talk now, we have to schedule it later. From this point of view, some things are really difficult to talk about.
He added: "There are also a few people who have proposed that they also want to do color printing. After all, they can see how popular Wen Xiang's rouge gouache is."
Tang Jiao smiled slightly and said: "You have released the news that the half-year special edition in June and the New Year's special edition in December are printed in color, and all quotations will be doubled. If you like color printing, you can pre-order this morning."
Li Langning said: "If we double the advertising fee, then the price will definitely be profitable, but what if someone is deterred because of the high price?"
Tang Jiao smiled: "If someone is deterred by the high price, I will promote my business. After all, they have seen the effect this time. They have to consider it themselves."
In fact, Tang Jiao's marketing method this time has been noticed by many people, and now they can't react at all, and they don't have time to follow suit. But as long as there is enough preparation time, I think many people can do it.
Li Langning knew this very well and informed Tang Jiao of these concerns.
Since Tang Jiao trusted him, he couldn't let Tang Jiao blind after all.
Naturally, a single success is enough to make people ecstatic, but one must also be vigilant.
Tang Jiao was very calm, she said: "Don't worry, I know what's going on. Oh, right."
She said: "You put this money into the newspaper's account."
Li Langning was a little confused and didn't know why: "What is this?"
Tang Jiao said: "Don't the newspapers still charge for Wen Xiang's publicity? I will not do a loss-making business."
Li Langning had a black line on his face and said, "But smelling fragrance is also your business. Aren't you left-handed and right-handed?"
Tang Jiao smiled cutely and corrected him: "Wen Xiang is not my business, I only account for 60%, and the other 40% belongs to Master Gu Qi. I have told him, and my brothers have also settled the accounts. Wen Xiang Xiang is the account of Wenxiang; the newspaper is the account of the newspaper. There is no reason for the newspaper to lose money to publish Wenxiang. Although the money is mine, I also have to consider the newspaper's total revenue."
Li Langning saw Tang Jiao's seriousness and was a little convinced.
It's not that the brothers are convinced after settling the scores, but that Tang Jiao has a big picture view when doing business.
As a grown man, he may not be able to grasp this.
Tang Jiao, on the other hand, has never been arrogant or impetuous, and always seems to be confident.
He said: "Okay, I will arrange the financial processing later."
Tang Jiao laughed and said: "The Chinese New Year is only six or seven days away. I will give you a bigger red envelope during the Chinese New Year. I have worked hard for more than half a year, and I see that everyone goes out early and stays late. I can't let everyone It's all in vain. Oh, yes, you also prepared Xu Jing and Xu Zhi for two of them. They are almost equivalent to our non-staff personnel. Working for us all day long without even giving a red envelope is a bit too much. Not kind."
Li Langning smiled and nodded, but he added, "Where's Miss Zhou?"
Zhou Shanshan almost lived in the newspaper office these days. She actually didn't know much about anything, but she helped out a lot and helped a lot. Whenever everyone leaves, she still has to help clean up.
This surprised everyone who originally thought she was the eldest lady.
Tang Jiao said: "It's the same. Oh, right. And at the factory, all the printing workers are the same. Don't forget it."
Li Langning said yes with a smile, "Then let me thank Miss Tang for everyone."
Tang Jiao said: "I want to thank you too. If my uncle hadn't recommended you, how could I have such a helpful helper? You know, it's not easy to find a suitable person now."
After saying this, Li Langning sighed: "Oh my god, it's not easy for someone like me who takes secret photos all day long to have a serious job."
Both of them laughed.
Tang Jiao looked up at the time and said, "I have something to do later, so I won't say more to you."
Li Langning stood up very discerningly and said, "Then I'll leave first."
Seeing Li Langning walk to the door, Tang Jiao said: "I have reserved a seat at Zuiyue Tower on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month. You can inform everyone that you can bring your family members to attend. It is considered a New Year's dinner."
After a pause, he smiled again: "There are also the clerks from various stores in Wenxiang."
Li Langning rubbed his hands and said with emotion: "Oh my god, then I guess they will be happy to death. Who doesn't know that the little girls in Wenxiang are so beautiful."
Tang Jiao blinked and said with emotion: "It's the same for everyone. They are all happy to be praised so enthusiastically by a beautiful young girl."
Li Langning almost squirted.
He smiled and said: "The boss is awesome."
After Li Langning left, Tang Jiao locked the newspaper's accounts in the safe. The newspaper's accounts had been checked, so she naturally kept them. Wenxiang's side was much more complicated, and the amount of money in and out was also large. Tang Jiao looked at it and realized that it might not be possible to complete the verification in three to five days.
"Ring ring ring."
The phone rang and Tang Jiao picked it up, "Hello?"
Since then, she has been busy. Shen Qing arranged for someone to connect a line to the second floor for Tang Jiao's convenience.
I have to say, it is indeed much more convenient.
Gu Tingyun's voice was on the other end of the phone. He said with a smile: "Li Langning has left. When will our Miss Tang come to visit us?"
Tang Jiao pouted and said, "You are keeping an eye on me!"
Gu Tingyun smiled and said, "Yes, Tainger, I'm a jealous person, there's nothing I can do about it."
The fact that such a clear and elegant voice could say such a thing made people feel that it was quite inconsistent with his temperament.
However, after Tang Jiao chuckled, she didn't think anything was wrong. Instead, she said, "Wait for me."
She went back to her room, changed into a goose-yellow plush dress, and went downstairs.
Siye was about to deliver desserts to Tang Jiao when he saw that she was about to go out and said quickly: "Miss, Lao Wang sent his wife to buy new year's goods and she hasn't come back yet. The car is not at home."
Tang Jiao said bluntly: "I'll go next door."
Then he said: "Send the desserts to the next door."
As soon as I opened the door, I felt a cold breath hit my face. At some point, it started to snow outside. Tang Jiao had been in the house the whole time, but she didn't know anything.
She shrank her neck and went back to put on her coat.
Heavy snow has covered the entire land, revealing a patch of snow. Although it is cold and freezing, it has a unique charm.
Tang Jiao came to Gu's house, and Gu Si immediately welcomed Tang Jiao in.
Tang Jiao handed the coat to Gu Si and then sighed: "It's really cold."
Gu Tingyun was wearing a black shirt, with his sleeves slightly rolled up, giving him a sense of home.
He said: "Ayo, come and have a cup of hot tea. It will make you feel much better."
Tang Jiao approached Gu Tingyun and saw that he was slowly making tea for her. She smiled and stretched out her hand: "Give it to me."
Gu Tingyun did not hand the teacup to Tang Jiao, but instead lifted it up himself, brought it to her lips, and whispered, "Be careful, it's a little hot."
Tang Jiao blushed a little, her eyes filled with a hint of spring, but soon, she bit her lip, blew on Gu Tingyun's hand, and drank it all in one gulp.
Gu Tingyun raised the corners of his mouth and looked at her with a darker look.
Tang Jiao's eyes were full of smiles, and she said softly: "Brother Qi, don't you have something to talk to me about? Isn't your job just to feed me tea?"
Gu Tingyun said: "No?"
Tang Jiao approached Gu Tingyun softly, her voice was soft and waxy, as if it had a small hook.
"Of course it's okay! But my seventh brother is not the kind of person who still looks for me even though he knows I'm busy."
Her little hands gently played with the buttons of Gu Tingyun's shirt, and she smiled: "Or... do you think I'm too harsh?"
Gu Tingyun hugged Tang Jiao and leaned her on the sofa. The two of them were very close. Tang Jiao could almost feel her breath on Gu Tingyun's face, and his breath seemed a little... chaotic. Already
Tang Jiao smiled lightly. Well, it turned out that he also liked her very much.
She hooked her arms around Gu Tingyun's neck and whispered, "Do you miss me very much?"
Gu Tingyun moved closer to Tang Jiao and whispered: "What do you...say?"
Tang Jiao felt a very hard place on his body pressing against her thigh, as if he was ready to do something to her.
Tang Jiao knew what this was, after all... this bastard made her feel it with her hands!
She used to dream about her past life, and when she dreamed about her own death, she always felt cold sweat and restless.
But since Gu Tingyun did that last time, whenever she dreams about something bad, the dream will be strangely shaken away by it.
It turned into a spring dream, a terrible spring dream.
Tang Jiao bit her lip and whispered: "Seventh brother... we have agreed to wait until my eighteenth birthday. After all, you proposed it yourself."
Many of Tang Jiao's classmates are engaged, and what's more, several are already married.
If it were earlier years, we would have gotten married earlier!
She is quite old now for her age.
But Tang Jiao was smiling. She just put her arm around Gu Tingyun's neck and sighed with a smile: "What I said and promised, no matter what, I have to stick to it, right?"
Gu Tingyun's eyes were deep, he stared at Tang Jiao and whispered: "I regret it very much."
Tang Jiao chuckled and sighed: "The most unsold thing in the world is the regret medicine. Since you chose it yourself, there is nothing you can do about it. You have to walk the road you choose on your knees even if you kneel down."
Gu Tingyun was amused by her. Small kisses fell on her face.
He whispered: "I know..."
Tang Jiao bit his ear and said coquettishly, "You know this and you still act recklessly?"
Gu Tingyun vowed to teach this little goblin a lesson. She was really not messing around, she was clearly causing trouble.
He pulled down the hem of Tang Jiao's plush skirt and put his lips together.
"Seventh brother..."
Gu Tingyun immediately pulled up Tang Jiao's clothes and shouted loudly: "Get out!"
