Two days later, Li Mu came back from the Children's Palace and felt that the heat was enough.
"Mom, do you know Teacher Zhang from our Mathematical Olympiad class?"
Zhou Chunhong was stunned for a moment: "I know, I met you when I signed up for you. He was quite polite."
Li Muchao: "Teacher Zhang's name is Zhang Dongsheng. He was a college student in the 1990s. His teaching is very good. All the students in the training class love to listen to his classes."
"He is also very capable. I asked around and found that his reputation is also very good. He is humble and low-key, and he is serious and responsible for his work..."
The more Zhou Chunhong listened, the more wrong she became. She quickly interrupted Li Mu and said, "Chaoyang, you're not really going to help mom find a teacher, are you?"
"The most important thing you should do now is study hard and don't let other things distract you."
Li Mu said: "I know, Mom, I promise not to delay my studies."
"However, I mentioned the training class to Teacher Zhang. He was very interested and said he wanted to interview you."
Zhou Chunhong was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that her son could do things so efficiently and even find people for him.
He said with some helplessness: "I haven't decided about the training class yet, you...sigh..."
Li Mu said: "Mom, this is a good opportunity. If you don't give it a try, how will you know you can't do it?"
"Besides, Teacher Zhang is really very capable. With his help, you will definitely be able to handle it well."
Zhou Chunhong was somewhat moved by her son's words. As soon as she made up her mind, she began to worry about gains and losses again.
"Son, you said that such a good teacher is willing to come because he is so capable? I don't know anything."
"Even if the conditions are better, if he works for a while and sees that this industry has a future, what should he do if he abandons us and starts a new one?"
Li Mu said: "Mom, this is what I think. Don't think of him as a part-time worker. Give him shares and make him a partner. If the future develops well, he will be reluctant to leave."
"Giving shares?" Zhou Chunhong asked doubtfully.
"Yes, give me shares."
Li Mu further explained: "I read a management book in the library some time ago, which described advanced foreign management methods, including how to retain talents."
"Don't let them become mere workers. Give them shares and tie the company's interests to their own. If they have a sense of ownership, they will naturally work hard."
Zhou Chunhong immediately hesitated when she heard that she was still being given shares. To her, it was like giving away her own money to outsiders.
Li Mu then said: "Mom, the shares are not given for free. This is an incentive system, which is good for the development of the company."
"For example, take 25% of the shares, create an incentive system for Teacher Zhang, and set up a five-year reward plan."
"Set a certain amount of profit this year, and if Mr. Zhang achieves it, give him five points of shares; set a bigger goal next year, and if he completes it, he will be rewarded with five points of shares."
"It continues for five years. If Mr. Zhang completes all the goals he set, you can imagine the size of the company by then. Even the remaining 75% of the shares will make a lot of money."
"At that time, he will also become one of the shareholders. Even if the stock incentive system is gone, he will not leave because his interests have been bound to the company."
"If he fails to achieve his goals, the company's development is not satisfactory, and he cannot get shares, he will have nothing to say. This proves that he has no real ability, why should we keep him!"
After finishing the conversation, Zhou Chunhong was silent for a long time. She felt that what her son said was reasonable. However, the thoughts of ordinary people were at work and she was not willing to give away shares for free.
Li Mu advised again: "Mom, take a long-term view. It seems that you give up some shares, but sometimes you will gain more. A company worth one million, 100% of its shares; a company worth 10 million, 100%
Seventy-five shares.”
"Let you choose, which one do you want?"
Zhou Chunhong naturally understood what her son meant. Keeping all the shares in your hands would be of no use if they could not develop. If you divide some shares, the partners would be more motivated. As the company grows, the value of the shares in your hands would be higher.
It's not that she doesn't understand this truth, it's just that she has been a grassroots employee her whole life and has some petty-bourgeois ideas, so she cannot look at problems from a higher perspective.
Faced with immediate interests and long-term interests, it is difficult to make a suitable choice.
Fortunately, Zhou Chunhong is not a pedantic person. After her son said this, she also figured it out.
If the shares are given out, they will be given away. If we can do a good job in the training courses and make the cake bigger, we will gain more in the future.
…
The next day, after Li Mu's introduction, Zhou Chunhong and Zhang Dongsheng formally met.
Zhang Dongsheng cherishes this opportunity. It is the only glimmer of light in his gloomy life and he has high hopes.
Zhou Chunhong respected Zhang Dongsheng very much. After some praise from her son, she knew that he was a capable person and the future development of the training class would depend on him.
The two of them had a great chat.
Sometimes, unless people are pushed, they really don’t know where the upper limit of their abilities is.
This is the case for Zhou Chunhong. A long conversation with Zhang Dongsheng seemed to arouse her ambition and plan to build a professional training institution.
In addition to the Mathematical Olympiad, there are also English training classes, calligraphy training classes, music training classes, and painting training classes.
Zhang Dongsheng was naturally overjoyed. As the person directly in charge, the larger the training institution, the better it would be able to realize his ideals and ambitions.
Especially after hearing about the share incentive plan, he became excited. For him, this was a rare opportunity that he must not miss.
As long as he completes the established development goals, he can receive equity rewards and become a shareholder of the training institution.
After experiencing family changes, he understood the truth that a man cannot have a career. Xu Jing was a profound lesson. Abandoning material and realistic love is just a castle in the air.
This made him pay more attention to his career and he wanted to make himself stronger.
Zhang Dongsheng was very decisive in his work. He made up his mind and took action immediately. Two days later, he officially resigned from the Children's Palace. He put his family affairs aside and used all his energy to start working on the training institution.
Zhou Chunhong was not idle either. In the following days, the two of them became more and more busy, running up and down to register for training institutions and choosing suitable venues in Ningzhou.
Finally, I settled on a three-story building with convenient transportation and a bus stop nearby. It was originally owned by the Ningzhou Design Institute, but it had just been moved out some time ago and became vacant.
There are three floors, each floor is more than 400 square meters, a total of more than 1,200 square meters, and it also has a small yard.
The rent is not bad, 320,000 a year, signed for ten years at a time, and the annual rent increase shall not exceed 10%.
After all, it is a place used by a design institute. It has its own decoration. It has a good style and looks comfortable. It can be used after simple decoration.
Next, under the leadership of Zhang Dongsheng, another three hundred thousand was spent on simple decoration, adjusting the layout, and adding some children's elements, but the effect was not good.
Then he started to purchase various tables, chairs and teaching equipment, spending more than 800,000 yuan.
Even before the training class was established, more than one million yuan had already been spent, which made Zhou Chunhong feel heartbroken.
Li Mu won a total of 3.84 million in lottery tickets, and spent more than 1.2 million on buying a house, a car and various expenses during this period.
Originally, there were only about 2.6 million left.
Since the preparation of the training class, 1.5 million has been spent on rent, decoration costs, office desks, chairs and teaching equipment.
Fortunately, all the hardware is provided, so there is no big expense next.
Zhou Chunhong and Li Mu discussed it and came up with another 300,000 yuan as the future daily operating expenses of the training institution.
After taking out the 300,000 yuan, the family's savings were left with 800,000 yuan. Zhou Chunhong began to worry about gains and losses, saying that she would not reinvest the money anyway and wanted to ensure the family's living standard.
Li Mu doesn't have any objections, these are enough. When enrollment starts, as long as it is managed properly, it will be a continuous money-printing machine.
There is a saying that women and children earn the most money.
