Chapter 257： Insufficient staff

?It is now April 20th, and in 20 days' time, the 16 stores will open simultaneously on May 11th.

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 were opened at the same time, and the capital required to invest is too large.

We must know that the preliminary preparation of any store requires hundreds of millions of investments. Different cities require different funds.

All the 16 stores add up to an investment of nearly 100 million yuan. And this is just an investment in the preliminary preparations.

Wanting to hold various large-scale events on the day when the 16 stores of Changping Supermarket opened at the same time, and imitating the actions of the previous six stores of Changping Supermarket, is another big investment.

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

But as a result, there is a gap of nearly 100 million in Changping Supermarket. In this regard, Chen Ping also responded with a wry smile.

Prior to this, although he had calculated the funding gap required by Changping Supermarket, he had forgotten the large sums of funds required to open a full 16 stores at the same time, hold various events, and even large-scale sweepstakes.

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

Where can he get so much capital in just 20 days? This is a full 100 million!

Regardless of the fact that Chen Ping is a real billionaire, in fact, most of the assets in Chen Ping's hands are assets that cannot be realized immediately.

For example, Coslight Technology, among the current Coslight Technology companies, there are only tens of millions of funds in total.

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

Funds earned in the early stage of the game "Plants vs. Zombies" have basically been put out, 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 and divide the part belonging to Changping Supermarket Company into the account of Changping Supermarket Company. This is not a small amount of income.

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

In addition, the game "Running Kart" is in the process of making money 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 at all, and has remained at the top of the hottest.

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

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

After all, among the games developed by Coslight Technology itself, there is a game player that far exceeds the number of "Running Kart" games. That is the "Dota" map.

The current "Dota" map game has as many as 25 million players, accounting for almost half of the domestic online game player group. Such a terrifying number is almost unimaginable to outsiders.

Although the domestic online game market has just developed in less than a few years, various classic games are also emerging in endlessly, but there is no game that can achieve such results as the "Dota" map.

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

According to outside estimates, the game "Run Kart" will 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 income is enough to make this game worth more than several billion. The "Dota" map game is currently inferior to the game "Running Kart" as a means of making money.

But everyone has also 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 various skins developed within the game, etc., and even foreign agency rights.

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

So at present, although Coslight Technology does not have much funds on its books, the outside world has valued Coslight Technology as much 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 based on the value of these games, the current Coslight Technology Company should have exceeded the market value of 1 billion, which is definitely an extremely scary number.

However, the liquidity in the polarized Coslight Technology Company is not as huge as the outside world imagined, but it is somewhat scarce.

Especially now the fourth game of Coslight Technology, "Zhengtu" game has been officially put into the development process, almost every day will consume a lot of funds.

As a result, Coslight Technology's internal funds became more tense. The hundreds of millions of funds that Chen Ping received at the land auction before, now seems to be far from enough.

Regardless of the past six months, the two major companies, Coslight Technology and Changping Supermarket, under Chen Ping’s name, do not seem to have made much progress.

But in fact, these two companies have already reborn.

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

The development speed of these two companies is definitely beyond imagination. Even Chen Ping sometimes thinks of it as if he is in a dream.

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

In just 20 days, he has no good way to raise this 100 million yuan. Unless again, like the last land auction, use fixed assets to mortgage and borrow part of the funds.

But when it was not a last resort, Chen Ping did not want to do it. The assets in hand, the funds borrowed many times, are likely to be heard by outsiders.

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

Once people think so, let alone, those suppliers of Changping Supermarket Company will definitely flock to them and ask Changping Supermarket Company to pay for the goods in advance.

In that way, the internal capital chain of Changping Supermarket Company will be broken instantly. Therefore, it is impossible for Chen Ping to borrow a large amount of funds until the last moment.

However, apart from borrowing funds, Chen Ping seems to have no other good solutions.

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

Although the time for the final listing has now been determined, after all, Baidu has not officially gone public, and no one dares to be sure that after Baidu's listing, the stock will have substantial growth.

Therefore, although the stock of Baidu Company has increased to a certain extent, the 100 million Baidu stock that Chen Ping originally held is currently only worth 150 million.

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

You know what Chen Pingyuan expected, but to increase the value of Baidu stock by more than 10 times. This can only be achieved after Baidu's stock is officially listed.

Therefore, it is impossible to make ideas from Baidu stock. However, in other respects Chen Ping does not have a good solution anymore.

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

The most important thing for Changping Supermarket Company is the preparatory work of the 16 stores.

Although Chen Ping also knows that Changping Supermarket Company still has a funding gap of 100 million yuan, this 100 million yuan of funds is used to hold events after the opening of Changping Supermarket Company, and does not affect the real preliminary preparations of Changping Supermarket Company.

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

At present, although the personnel department of Changping Supermarket Company has been formally established, it even has a large scale. Moreover, under Lin Yuwei's full presidency, she almost mobilized and tried her best to collect all kinds of talents.

But the problem is that real talents are not so easy to find. Especially the middle and senior managers, even now, there are still many vacancies for the middle and senior managers of Changping Supermarket.

There are about 20 days left. Although it can fill a lot of vacancies, according to Lin Yuwei's prediction, after the official opening of the 16 stores of Changping Supermarket, there will still be some shortages of staff.

This is an extremely serious problem. It's okay to say in a short time, but if it develops for a long time, it is likely to cause various problems such as poor management of the stores of Changping Supermarket.

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