After the breakup, I joined the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection

"Although I, Yao Guangdao, am not a formal member of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, I am very clear about where my status and position come from, so I have always paid great attention to this aspect. If it weren't for you, Director Lu, I would definitely not have mentioned it if it was someone else!"

Yao Guangdao spoke to Lu An seemingly sincerely, fully expressing his support and trust in Lu An.

Lu An waved his hand to show that he understood very well: "After all, this is an era of rapid social and economic development. As long as the means are legitimate, it is essentially right to make more money to improve your quality of life. Didn't I bring my friends to help register a company?"

Lu An went on to say, "But I have to say something in advance. Currently, I am a small paging station and the amount of funds I can absorb is very limited. If Master Yao gives me 100,000 yuan at once, I really can't take it."

Yao Guangdao waved his hands repeatedly to show that he was being overrated: "I am just a driver for the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. My job is to serve the leaders. How can I possibly afford so much money?"

Lu An raised his eyebrows. From what he said, Lu An knew that he must have a lot of money.

But it's no wonder. With such a wide network of contacts and such good handling of things, it's impossible that he doesn't have some way to make money.

After discussion, it was finally decided that Yao Guangdao would invest 20,000 yuan in Lu An's paging station.

Yao Guangdao did not waste any time. After the deal was finalized, he immediately went to the bank to withdraw 20,000 yuan and gave it to Lu An.

"I'm very familiar with Director Xu. I'm sure he can help you get the company's paperwork and approvals done today!"

Yao Guangdao also said: "If you are not satisfied with the boy named Ma today, Director Lu, you can also talk to Director Xu."

Lu An smiled and nodded to indicate that he had taken note of it. If he needed anything, he would definitely go find Director Xu again.

After seeing Yao Guangdao off, Mu Chenggang weighed the money in his hand, feeling it was so unreal: "We made 20,000 yuan just by going out like this?"

Lu An explained to him: "This is not the money we earn, but the money invested by others."

Lu An thought for a moment and said, "To put it simply, they invested this money, and at the end of the year, we will give them a portion of the money we earned this year."

Mu Chenggang's eyes widened: "What? We still have to give him some money, wouldn't that be a huge loss?"

This time, before Lu An could speak, Mu Qinghong gave him a slap in the face: "If we can't share dividends, why would anyone invest in us? And if no one invests in us, with the 50,000 yuan in our hands, it would be very tight if we really wanted to run the paging station."

Lu An nodded. It must be said that although they both came from the countryside, Mu Qinghong's vision and ideas were obviously several levels higher than Mu Chenggang's.

"Now that Master Yao has invested money, let me tell you this. Gangzi, you have always been confused about why I give away free phones when you join the network. Where do you make the money?" Lu An said.

Mu Qinghong immediately reacted: "Is it just selling the paging station or the company's shares?"

Lu An nodded and told her: "That's one aspect. The investment in shares can only offset part of the cost. If we want to really make money, we have to continuously expand the number of users of the paging station and wait to sell it to the Post and Telecommunications Bureau in the future."

If there were fellow villagers from later generations, they would probably be able to see at a glance that Lu An’s plan was to drive up the value of the company and then wait for big capital to take over.

Of course, unlike the simple hype of concepts in later generations, Lu An is actually spending money to expand his user base.

Taking advantage of this wave of price cuts for pager machines and using the marketing strategy of "free machine upon network access", Lu An is confident that he can attract a huge user base.

By that time, the Post and Telecommunications Bureau would have no choice but to acquire it. After all, if a private paging station has more users than your Post and Telecommunications Bureau, it would be embarrassing.

Mu Cheng just scratched his head. He no longer dared to speak casually. He felt like his brain was about to explode.

Mu Qinghong raised a question: "But no matter what, our pagers always cost money, and there are also pager cards and service fees. If we have to wait like this, can we really hold on until the Post Office comes to buy it?"

Lu An said that Mu Qinghong’s question hit the nail on the head.

It is true that the issue of cost always exists, and since they do not have a stable and cheap supply channel for BB machines, their costs are still not low, so there is indeed a possibility that they will go bankrupt.

But Lu An told Mu Qinghong that as long as the "free phone for joining the network" activity continued, it would continue to attract new users to join the network and new funds would continue to flow in, so it would not be so easy to collapse.

"And at the same time, Sister Hong, we can also contact some BB machine manufacturers and negotiate a suitable supply price with them. Since we are a big customer, we have the confidence to cut the price to a very low point."

"In addition, we have our users. As the number of users continues to increase, our service fees will definitely increase. Ten yuan per person per month, 1,000 people will make 10,000 yuan per month. If there are 10,000 people, we can make 100,000 yuan per month!"

"This money will also be enough to make up for the shortfall in our marketing activities. In short, I am very confident."

Mu Qinghong tilted her head and thought carefully for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement with this logic: "Indeed, as long as there is continuous income, even if there is a loss every time there is a free machine activity, it can still last for a long time."

Lu An also reminded that as the number of paging station users increases in the future, the scale of the paging station and the number of service personnel will also need to increase.

"We must never let users have a bad impression of the service quality of our paging station, as that can easily lead to big problems," Lu An emphasized.

Mu Qinghong said that she had thought of this, but this issue needed to be communicated with Deng Weichen, the manager of the paging station, before a decision could be made.

"After all, he knows the capacity and service capabilities of the paging station best."

In contrast, Mu Qinghong believes that it is more important to establish a good relationship with the Post and Telecommunications Bureau: "If the Post and Telecommunications Bureau refuses to issue or temporarily withholds our BB machine cards, it will also have a great impact on us."

Lu An touched his chin. This was indeed a big problem. "Establishing a relationship with the Post and Telecommunications Bureau is one thing. At the same time, it is also important that the paging station must have enough BB machine cards for emergencies. Just like now, if Boss Shen leaves more than 300 BB machine cards, we don't have to worry at all."

Lu An also said that the specific number of BB machine cards needed for emergency use would depend on the situation.

Listening to the conversation between Lu An and Mu Qinghong, Mu Chenggang shrank his neck, not daring to breathe. If possible, he even wanted to stop his heartbeat.

How terrible!

I actually didn't understand a thing they said, I just thought they were so amazing...
