Chapter 257 Insufficient Staff

? It is now April 20, and in another 20 days, the date for the simultaneous opening of 16 stores will be May 11.

Although it was not in time for the May Day holiday, Chen Ping was not too demanding. Only this time, a total of 16 stores in Changping Supermarket opened at the same time, and the capital required to invest is too huge.

You must know that the preparatory work of any store needs to invest hundreds of millions of dollars. Different cities require different funds.

All sixteen stores add up, and the investment is close to 100 million. And this is just an investment in preparatory work.

It is a big investment to hold various large-scale events on the day when the sixteen stores of Changping Supermarket open at the same time, and imitate the actions of the previous six stores of Changping Supermarket.

Each store must prepare at least millions of funds to support the large-scale activities of all stores of the entire Changping Supermarket Company.

But in this way, there is an additional gap of nearly 100 million in Changping Supermarket Company. Chen Ping also smiled bitterly in his heart.

Before that, although he had calculated the funding gap required by the Changping Supermarket Company, he had forgotten the large sums of money needed to open sixteen stores at the same time, hold various events, and even large-scale lucky draws.

As a result, the funds he had previously reserved for Changping Supermarket Company seemed a little insufficient. For a while, Chen Ping also seemed to have a headache.

In just 20 days, where did he get so much money? That's a whole 100 million!

Don't look at the fact that Chen Ping can be regarded as a real billionaire, but in fact, most of the assets in Chen Ping's hands are assets that cannot be realized immediately.

For example, Coslight Technology Co., Ltd., among the current Coslight Technology companies, only has a total of tens of millions of funds.

The real reason why Coslight Technology can reach a market value of several hundred million in the outside world lies in the games under the name of Coslight Technology. 35xs

The funds earned in the early stage of the game "Plants vs. Zombies" have basically been invested, but this game has also caused quite a stir overseas.

When negotiating the agency rights, Chen Pingke did not sell the agency rights all at once, but signed a long-term contract.

Every quarter, several overseas agents will make a financial statement, dividing the part belonging to Changping Supermarket Company into the account of Changping Supermarket Company, which is a considerable amount of income.

For a whole number of years, according to outside estimates, the game "Plants vs. Zombies" can at least provide nearly 100 million yuan for Changping Supermarket.

In addition, the game "Running Kart" is in the process of making profits almost every day. This game was launched on the last day of the November holiday last year, and it has been online for more than half a year.

However, in the course of the past six months, the popularity of the game "Running Kart" has not declined in the slightest, and has remained at the top of the most popular.

Even in the online game rankings, it still firmly occupies the first place in the ranking of the number of players. Of course, this is just the online game rankings.

If you count all types of games, I am afraid that the game "Running Kart" will fall to the top of the list.

After all, among the games developed by Coslight Technology itself, there is one game that has far more players than the game "Running Kart". That's the Dota map.

At present, the number of players in the Dota map game has reached as high as 25 million, accounting for almost half of the domestic online game player group.

Such terrifying numbers are almost unimaginable to outsiders.

Although the domestic online game market has just developed for a few years, various classic games are emerging in an endless stream, but there is no game that can achieve the results of the "Dota" map.

It can even be said that the current “Dota” map has become a milestone in the domestic game market.

According to the estimates of the outside world, the game "Running Kart" will still have a hot period of at least half a year, and even if the hot period has passed, this game is still one of the best online games on the market.

The long-term revenue is enough to make this game worth hundreds of millions. As for the game "Dota" map, at present, the means of making money is not as good as the game "Running Kart".

But everyone has seen that the popularity of the game "Dota" map has far exceeded any previous game in the domestic game market, and it is definitely a huge miracle in the entire domestic game market.

Such a game sells various advertising spaces and even various skins developed inside the game, etc., and even foreign agency rights.

The commercial value that can be obtained is far from "Plants vs. Zombies", which can be comparable to such a stand-alone game. It can even be compared to online games like "Running Kart".

Therefore, at present, Coslight Technology Co., Ltd. does not have too much capital on its books, but the outside world's valuation of Coslight Technology Co., Ltd. has reached as high as 700 million.

Even after careful consideration, many experts have no way to determine the internal data of Coslight Technology, so they try to reduce the value of these games.

If it is really estimated according to the value of these games, the current Coslight Technology Company should have exceeded the market value of 1 billion, which is definitely an extremely terrifying number.

However, the working capital of Guangyu Technology Company is not as huge as the outside world imagines, but it seems to be lacking.

Especially now that Coslight Technology's fourth game, "Journey", has been officially put into the development process, and a lot of money will be consumed almost every day.

As a result, the funds within the Coslight Technology Company became more and more nervous. The hundreds of millions of funds that Chen Ping had harvested at the land auction before, now it seems that it is still far from enough.

Don't look at the two major companies, Coslight Technology Company and Changping Supermarket Company under Chen Ping's name, it seems that they have not achieved much development in the past six months.

But in fact, these two companies have already been reborn.

Changping Supermarket started with only one store, and now more than a dozen stores will officially open on the same day; Coslight Technology has also begun to develop its fourth online game.

The speed of development of these two companies is absolutely unimaginable to outsiders. Even when Chen Ping thinks about it sometimes, it feels like he is in a dream.

Of course, it is far from the time when Chen Ping can be complacent. At this moment, he is still worried about the funding gap of 100 million yuan that Changping Supermarket Company wants to hold an event.

In just 20 days, he had no good way to raise this 100 million fund. Unless it is like the last land auction, the fixed assets on hand are mortgaged and part of the funds are borrowed.

But Chen Ping didn't want to do it unless he had to. The assets in hand, borrowed and borrowed funds many times, are likely to be known to outsiders.

At that time, the outside world is likely to think that there is a huge problem with the internal funds of Changping Supermarket, which is not what Chen Ping wants to see.

Once people think this way, if nothing else, the suppliers of Changping Supermarket will definitely flock to them and ask Changping Supermarket to pay for the goods in advance.

In that case, the capital chain within the Changping Supermarket Company will be broken in an instant. Therefore, it is impossible for Chen Ping to borrow a large amount of funds until the last moment.

However, in addition to borrowing funds, Chen Ping does not seem to have other very good ways.

Although Yuwei Investment Company still holds the original shares of Baidu stock worth 100 million yuan, the problem is that the current Baidu company has not been officially listed.

Although the time for the final listing has now been determined, Baidu has not yet officially listed, and no one can be sure that Baidu's stock will have a substantial increase after listing.

Therefore, although the current Baidu company's stock has received a certain increase, the 100 million Baidu stock in Chen Ping's hands is currently only worth 150 million at most.

It has increased by as much as 50, which is already a lot of money. But for Chen Ping, this is far from what he expected.

You must know that Chen Ping's original expectation is to increase the value of Baidu's stock by more than 10 times. This can only be achieved after Baidu's stock is officially listed.

Therefore, it is impossible to make an idea from Baidu stock. However, in other respects, Chen Ping really has no better way.

After thinking about it, Chen Ping did not think of a means to raise funds quickly, so he can only keep this matter in mind for the time being.

The most important thing on the Changping Supermarket Company side is the preparatory work for the sixteen stores.

Although Chen Ping also knows that there is still a shortfall of 100 million yuan in Changping Supermarket, the 100 million funds are used to hold activities after Changping Supermarket opens, and it does not affect the real preparatory work of Changping Supermarket.

Therefore, Chen Ping still pays more attention to the preparatory affairs of Changping Supermarket Company. At present, the biggest problem encountered by Changping Supermarket Company in the preliminary preparation is the lack of talents during the preparation process.

At present, although the personnel department of Changping Supermarket Company has been formally established, it even has a large scale. And under the full leadership of Lin Yuwei, he almost launched it with all his strength, trying his best to collect all kinds of talents.

But the problem is, real talent is not so easy to find. Especially the middle and senior management personnel, even now, there are still many vacancies for the middle and senior management personnel of Changping Supermarket Company.

There are still about 20 days left, although many vacancies can be filled, but according to Lin Yuwei's prediction, after the official opening of the 16 stores of Changping Supermarket, there will still be some stores with insufficient staff.

This is an extremely serious problem, and it is good to say in a short period of time, but if it develops for a long time, it is likely to cause various problems such as poor operation of the stores of Changping Supermarket Company.

And this is also the biggest problem that Chen Ping urgently needs to solve.
