Chapter 199 I Don’t Feel at Ease with This Money. Why Don’t I Kneel Down to You Again?

Ma Yuan looked at the assistant's excited expression and asked in confusion: "Who called you? What does he do?"

He knew that the people who could call Spark Records now were either here to collect debts or to defraud, and there was no way they could do anything good.

The company's financial crisis is no longer a secret. The news spread from nowhere, making all creditors aware of it.

They stalked him like flies, calling constantly to urge him to pay back the money or deliver the project.

Even if a company that was doing well in the past encountered a run, it would end up bankrupt, let alone Spark Records, which was originally a candle in the wind.

Out of sight, out of mind, after receiving countless such calls, Ma Yuan really couldn't stand the harassment, so he simply left it all to his assistant.

If you can delay it, delay it; if you can't, delay it.

In short, if you don't have any money, and if you push for bankruptcy, you won't get a penny by then.

After a company goes bankrupt and liquidates, the first thing to be settled is the salaries of its employees, then the banks, and finally their creditors.

The assistant shook his head: "Mr. Ma, they said they are interested in acquiring our company, and they hope to find a time to come and inspect it."

what?

Acquisition intention?

Ma Yuan's first reaction was not happiness, but confusion and suspicion.

First of all, it goes without saying what kind of company Spark Company is. There is absolutely no hope of making any profit from the acquisition.

Secondly, the acquisition intention sounds like a big pie no matter how it sounds.

Don't be scared away by the negative and dilapidated atmosphere of the company when people come to inspect it.

But now the company is in a state of ruin and waiting for death, and there is absolutely no hope of getting out on its own.

What if there is really a bad guy who is willing to buy this mess?

Let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

Ma Yuan nodded slightly and asked, "Did they say who they are?"

"Mr. Ma, I know that person, his name is Lin Cao, and we had dinner together recently!" The assistant's hands were shaking with excitement, "He is an old employee of Yuefu. He recently switched jobs to Kuaiguang Group. I heard that his level is not the same." Low, it shouldn’t be fake!”

"Kuguang Group?!" Ma Yuan, who originally thought there was little hope for this matter, stood up from his chair, surprised and delighted, "Are you sure? Are you sure that their company really has the intention to acquire you, and is not following you?" boast?"

In Jinhai City now, who is involved in entertainment-related business, who doesn’t know about Kueyguang Group?

How many people are trying to get a job, and how many companies are rushing to sign cooperation contracts with them?

Kuaiguang Group's qualifications are a bit shallow, and its vision and cooperation threshold are also very high, but it can't afford to be rich!

Is this Lin Cao really qualified to decide such an important matter?

"It's true, Mr. Ma... Lin Cao said that their boss has made a preliminary decision!" The assistant nodded vigorously, looking even happier than Ma Yuan.

It's not that he is loyal to Ma Yuan, but because as a creator, only Spark Company can give him such a relatively stable creative environment.

If the company goes bankrupt, it's hard to say whether he can find another company.

As for the boss’s assistant…

As a small company that is not very formal and is desperately pursuing cost reduction and efficiency improvement, it is normal for one person to hold multiple positions.

To be honest, he didn't have a good impression of this opportunist who knew nothing about music, liked to conduct blindly, and liked to shirk responsibility when something went wrong.

"Great, great." Ma Yuan paced back and forth in the office excitedly, "In this case, you should quickly notify everyone in the company, put down everything at hand, and focus on your energy."

"Organize all employees in the company to conduct a general cleaning!"

Whether the company survives or not depends entirely on this acquisition!

…

A few minutes ago, Lin Cao's office, Kuaiguang Group.

"Well, that's how it is. But I don't dare to give you a guarantee on this matter. You should prepare yourself well and try to show off your advantages. Don't hide or make up your shortcomings. Don't worry about running such a big company in one year. Mr. Yang is treated as a fool."

As soon as Lin Cao finished speaking, there was a sound of howling ghosts and wolves on the other end of the phone: "Brother Lin, Master Lin, you are too kind to your brother, you can't repay him in return!"

"Don't be disgusting, just remember to treat me to a big meal later."

"It's not good to just have a big meal. How about I kowtow to you three more times?"

"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, so I'll hang up." Lin Cao felt numb for a while, but at the same time he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

If I hadn't been ruthless and sent my resume to Kuaiguang Group, what would I be like today?

It's unlikely that I'll be unemployed, but I guess I'll just get a not-so-high salary and start honing my qualifications again in the live broadcasting industry, which is already going downhill.

Fortunately... I made the best choice.

The unwavering Anti-Yue Mansion!

Lin Cao hung up the phone, printed out the arranged information about Spark Records, and returned to Mr. Yang's office.

"Mr. Yang, these are the documents. Can you take a look at them?"

"Leave it here." Yang Ruoqian stared at the computer without looking up.

Lin Cao nodded, neatly placed the information where it would not affect Yang Ruoqian's work, and did not disturb the boss's work: "Okay, Mr. Yang, call me anytime if you have any orders."

With that said, he left the office.

Yang Ruoqian, who was catching up on the latest episodes of "The Sing of the Motherland", was leisurely watching movies, drinking tea and eating snacks, and did not look at the information on the table for the time being.

Suddenly, with a slight knock on the door, the office door was pushed open.

There is only one person in the whole company who can enter the office without waiting for Mr. Yang's approval.

"What's wrong, busy man? Is there any problem with the acquisition of the company?" Chang Zhiqing walked into the office, took the information sent by Lin Cao in her hand, and read it roughly.

Yang Ruoqian reluctantly looked away from the computer screen and nodded slightly: "I don't know much about their company, please help me."

The acquisition of Spark Company is the top priority now. As long as the operation of this bankrupt company can be stabilized and the status quo is maintained, it will be a stable loss-making project that can be solved once and for all!

"I think they are just a broken ship." Chang Zhiqing sighed, sat down casually, and muttered, "Private company, five shareholders, excluding security personnel, there are a total of 45 employees on duty."

"I have written many niche songs, and also made some buzz songs... I have made some money relying on copyrights. Now the main source of income is individual customers from various channels, some are individuals who just play on a whim, and some are If you have no money, you can only find their little singers.”

"There is almost no user stickiness. Whether you can make a living depends on luck, and the profit model is extremely unstable."

Listening to Chang Zhiqing's introduction word for word, Yang Ruoqian was secretly amazed.

Traditional anchors rely on audience rewards to earn income, which is already very unstable, but at least the anchors will have some die-hard fans, and they will pay for their love no matter what.

It sounds like Spark Company has no repeat customers at all.

Being able to do things to this extent has to be said to be a kind of ability.

An ability that makes Yang Ruoqian jealous from the bottom of his heart.

"As time goes by, the copyright income from old songs gradually decreases, and the revenue in the past three months has dropped below 30,000. Individual customers are their current pillar industry, but due to traffic problems, the number of customers has decreased. A lot, causing revenue to plummet."

Yang Ruoqian probably knew why this record company had recently revealed that its capital chain was about to break.

It turns out that the pillar industry collapsed...

"What about the costs? What are their company's current operating costs?" Mr. Yang, who was increasingly satisfied with the company, asked again.

Chang Zhiqing turned the page of the information on her hand, glanced at it twice, and slightly opened her red lips: "There is no accurate figure for this, but Lin Cao still made an estimate for us."

"The rent for the office space is about 12,000 yuan per month, the employee labor cost is about 150,000 yuan, the bank loan interest is 50,000 yuan per month, and other miscellaneous expenses are put together, and it is estimated that there is a cost of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. The total is not It will be over 250,000."

There are 45 employees, and the labor cost is only 150,000? !

The average salary per person is 3333 per month?

And this is just the average. Some managers' salaries are definitely much higher than the average.

In other words, it is estimated that many people in Spark Company are barely surviving on a salary of 2,000 yuan a month.

this……

Although this company can only bring in losses of 250,000 yuan a month now, its room for improvement is huge!

Make all employees’ salaries, benefits and benefits consistent with those of Kuangguang Headquarters, change the office space, cut off all strategies to reduce costs and increase efficiency, and find ways to increase the cost of music production...

Now it seems that this record company does not have many hidden dangers of profitability.

Just raise the cost as much as possible without touching the overall frame.

Yang Ruoqian thought about it and asked again: "What procedures need to be followed to acquire a company? Are there any things to pay attention to?"

"Oh...I almost forgot that this is the first time for you, a big boss, to acquire someone else's company." Chang Zhiqing joked with a smile, "Actually, the risk of acquisition is not small, especially the one you want to acquire. company."

"Tell me in detail, what are the risks?" Mr. Yang perked up.

From a probability perspective, the more risks, the better!

There are too many thunders, and there is always one that can explode.

"First find a professional accountant to check their accounts. At least there won't be anything like misappropriation of funds or running away with funds."

"There is also the depreciation of their assets - various equipment. We are not professionals, we certainly don't understand, and we certainly can't depreciate as much as they say. We need to ask professionals to do the evaluation. If in the end we decide not to acquire , here is another unrewarded investment.”

"However, Spark Company's current business situation is so bad that it should be impossible to find other buyers. Their largest shareholder named Ma Yuan should be anxious to sell the company to us in order to escape. The initiative is in our hands, and the acquisition The price won’t be very high, you can get it for at most 200,000 yuan.”

"Only two hundred thousand?" Yang Ruoqian couldn't hide the disappointment in his tone.

How come the acquisition of a company by oneself is like a small deal, with hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars spent, without the grand spectacle of spending huge sums of money at all?

How could it be possible to fill so many profit holes with just a few hundred thousand?

It won’t be long before the huge sponsorship fees from the sponsors of e-sports teams will be paid into the company’s account...

Chang Zhiqing flicked the document in her hand with her fingers and said in a slightly higher tone: "Although the number of two hundred thousand is small, Kuaiguang Group will inherit all the debts of Spark Company!"

Now that the two are together, as the boss's wife, she has no choice but to care about the company's wallet.

"He owes so much money outside. Even if we don't pay a penny, the actual cost is huge."

"The reason why Ma Yuan is trying his best to prevent the company from going bankrupt is also very simple. After all, if he delays for one more month, he can legitimately get one more month's salary from the company's finances and suck more blood from the company."

"Until the company can no longer pay a penny of wages, he will set extremely high depreciation prices for the company's pile of junk assets and distribute them to employees to offset their wages. Not only can he falsely report the prices, but he can also save money on selling them. The cost and effort of used equipment.”

Yang Ruoqian's eyes were a little dull as he listened to Ma Yuan's creative approach.

Isn't this a great way to save money? How could the company be reduced to such a mess?

Does losing money also depend on talent?

With such strong operating capabilities, the company can still lose money every month... This shows that Spark Company has huge potential and still has a lot to lose, but it will not affect the main business or the development of projects within the company's framework.

Chang Zhiqing mentioned a few more details, but Yang Ruoqian listened more perfunctorily.

He has decided to acquire this company!

Chang Zhiqing is very observant. After seeing that Yang Ruoqian did not continue to listen carefully, she put the information on the table back on the table, nodded and said: "That's the general situation. Do you want to go and investigate in person?"

Yang Ruoqian smiled and said, "I'm definitely going. I've already made an appointment. Lin Cao and I will go together."

"What's the use of making an appointment?" Chang Zhiqing was slightly dissatisfied with her husband's careless attitude and frowned slightly, "Be prepared in advance, even a broken company can give you a bright job for a few days. You need to make a surprise inspection of the scene."

A surprise inspection?

It’s not impossible.

Although Mr. Yang is not very concerned about whether Huohua Company will do face-saving projects, if he can understand the real situation, it is not impossible to see how bad his subsidiary is.

What if this company is a failure but only a few gold and jade are left behind?

Mr. Yang, who was extremely unsure of his luck, agreed with Chang Zhiqing's suggestion: "Okay, arrange two inspections. The first time, Lin Cao will go, and the second time, I will go. The time interval should not be too long, just one day is enough. "

The first day after the face-saving project is completed is the best time to reflect the true situation of a company.

Chang Zhiqing nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, then I will make arrangements. Please pay attention to your health."

Mr. Yang, who couldn't wait to be included as a strong player, added: "Let's arrange the date for this week, as soon as possible."

Gods corrode reality, and demons confuse the world.

But soon, they discovered a problem.

The King of Hell who was rampant in the world suffered from mental torture. One day he knelt in pain at the door of the shelter base: "Ah! I'm going crazy. He will find me no matter where I hide. Please take me in quickly."

Hercules cried every day in the hospital: "Doctor, can I still be saved? That little beast is opening my skull with a glowing hammer every day."

Mother of Night gritted her teeth: "He is really bullying God. He has no privacy at all. Now he doesn't even dare to turn on the light when taking a shower."

Qiao Yuan held the hammer of fate in his hand: "Don't lie, I didn't see anything."
