When will I have a long tassel?

"I really haven't noticed this." Zhang Jin replied honestly, "I have to wait until I go back and analyze the TOEFL test questions from previous years."

Guo Xiaoyu looked at Tang Zifeng and asked, "Did Mr. Tang analyze it?"

Tang Zifeng smiled mysteriously and said: "I haven't analyzed it, but a friend of mine has analyzed it, and he said there are rules. According to him, if these rules can be summarized, any country in the country with a level 6 foundation For college students, after three months of training, it is no problem to get a TOEFL score of 600. For students from Qingbei, after a short period of training, it is no problem to get a score of 650 or above."

"How awesome!" Guo and Zhang's eyes widened.

Currently, the TOEFL score requirement for graduate students applying to American schools is only 550. Of course, some good majors will require a TOEFL score of 600 or above. For students from prestigious universities such as Qingbei, it is certainly not difficult to score 600 points, but for some lower-level colleges and universities, students still have to work hard to get 600 points. Guo and Zhang also have some middle school classmates who are studying in local colleges and universities. According to these classmates, it is very difficult for those students around them who are preparing to apply to study abroad to take the TOEFL test, and few can get a score of 600.

But now Tang Zifeng told them that if the rules of the TOEFL test were summarized and taught to students, then any student with a CET-6 foundation would be able to get a TOEFL score of over 600 after three months of training. What an amazing thing.

Going abroad is a very expensive thing. TOEFL registration, visa, and air tickets to the United States are all very expensive expenditures for today's Chinese. People who can afford the money are insensitive to training fees. If your own training school can really promote the slogan of getting a TOEFL score of 600 or more, do you still have to worry about finding students?

TOEFL training is completely different from one-to-one training for the college entrance examination. Students taking TOEFL can receive full-time training, which means that classroom utilization can be greatly increased. In addition, TOEFL training can be taught in large classes and requires only a small number of teachers, which can also significantly reduce costs. And reducing costs means increasing profit margins, and making money will not be as hard as before. Isn't this worthy of their joy?

"Mr. Tang, can the friend you mentioned be invited to be our company's consultant?" Zhang Jin asked timidly.

Guo Xiaoyu said: "Yes, we can hire him with a high salary, but if that doesn't work, we can also give him some shares."

Tang Zifeng shook his head: "This is unrealistic. He is not in the country now, and his net worth is also very high. He will look down on such a small gain."

Tang Zifeng's so-called friends are actually not the people they are now. Tang Zifeng knew that after the new century, many domestic institutions were studying the rules of TOEFL, IELTS and other examinations, and they had also compiled countless examination guides. Both the British and Americans are relatively simple-minded. They think that they can stump foreign candidates by setting up various changes in the exam. Little do they know that the Chinese have a tradition of taking exams for more than 1,000 years. Even the Chinese people were able to find ways to solve the perverted cut-and-tie questions in the Ming Dynasty eight-part essay exam. How can a few English test questions stand up to scrutiny?

Tang Zifeng had not taken the TOEFL test in his previous life, but he had heard about this. He believes that as long as he thinks of this idea, it will not be a problem to crack the secrets of TOEFL and GRE exams. He has a wealth of college student resources at hand, and by pooling their brains together, there is no problem that cannot be solved.

Hearing what Tang Zifeng said, Guo Xiaoyu and Zhang Jin somewhat understood his thinking. After all, both of them had participated in the compilation of "May 3rd" and knew Feihai Company's style of doing things. Guo Xiaoyu thought for a while and asked Tang Zifeng: "Mr. Tang, what are you going to do about this matter? What role can Zhang Jin and I play?"

Tang Zifeng said: "I have thought about it. Our Feihai company has no foundation in training. Xiao Guo and Xiao Zhang, you two are experienced in this area, so this project is still left to you to think and learn. The company will do it, and we will just invest in it based on the technology.”

"What technology does Mr. Tang refer to?" Guo Xiaoyu continued to ask. By this time, the two sides were engaged in business negotiations, and there was no need to say any more polite words.

Tang Zifeng said: "I have some ideas on how to study the rules of the TOEFL test. These should be regarded as our company's intellectual property rights. In addition, to turn these ideas into practical know-how, we need to organize a group of people to In terms of R\u0026D, Xiao Guo and Xiao Zhang, I’m afraid you don’t have the strength, right?”

Guo Xiaoyu nodded. He recalled that when the "May 3rd" was compiled, Feihai Company hired hundreds of top students from several top universities to analyze the test questions. This is something that Sierxue Company cannot currently do.

Tang Zifeng said: "We invest human and financial resources in research and development, and after forming the technical know-how, we leave it to you to carry out training. We invest in technology and you contribute experience in training. What do you think of this kind of cooperation?" "

"But..." Guo Xiaoyu said with some hesitation, "Feihai Company currently owns 40% of the shares in Silexue Company. If you add additional technical shares, does it mean that Mr. Tang wants to increase his shares in Silexue Company?" Ratio? I want to say something ugly first. Zhang Jin and I want to run this company for a long time, so our two people’s shares in the company cannot be less than 51%. This is our bottom line. If Mr. Tang wants to own the shares If it exceeds 49%, we cannot accept it.”

"Yes, we told Mr. Wang about this in the past," Zhang Jin added.

When Guo Xiaoyu and Zhang Jin first founded the company, they had to partner with Feihai Company due to lack of funds. Before the partnership, the two men proposed to Wang Zijie that their shares should not be less than 51%, that is, they must have controlling rights in the company. The two of them want to make a career out of this company, so of course they cannot tolerate the loss of controlling stake.

Guo and Zhang put forward a bottom line of 51%, and they were mentally prepared for Feihai Company to take away 49%. As a result, after Wang Zijie asked Tang Zifeng for instructions, he only asked for 40% of the shares. This made the two feel that Feihai Company was more particular about its work and its appearance was not too ugly.

But now, Tang Zifeng proposes to develop a new business direction, and at the same time proposes to use technology to invest in shares. Guo Xiaoyu and Zhang Jin have no additional capital, which means that Feihai Company's shares will be further increased. The upper limit that Guo and Zhang can accept is that Feihai Company holds 49% of the equity, but the intellectual property rights Tang Zifeng just mentioned are worth more than 9% of the equity.

Realizing this, Guo and Zhang had to say something ugly first. If Tang Zifeng wanted to use this business to seize the controlling stake of Silexue Company, they would never agree.

Tang Zifeng chuckled and said: "I completely understand your thoughts. Don't worry, I won't rob your company. My idea is that we can register another company to operate this business. This new company will be owned by Si While Xue holds 90% of the shares, I only need 10%, what do you think?"

"Leave you 10%?"

Guo Xiaoyu and Zhang Jin muttered something at the same time, and then quickly calculated in their hearts. Sirxue Company has 40% of Feihai Company's shares. If it holds 90% of the new company, it means that Feihai Company's equity is equivalent to 36%, plus 10%, the total is 46%, still less than 49% , which is within the psychological bottom line of the two.

In fact, in this way of shareholding, even if Feihai Company actually owns more than 50% of the shares, the controlling rights are still in the hands of the two of them. Because the controlling shareholder of the new company is Sirexue Company, and the controlling shareholders of Silexue Company are the two of them, they can form actual control over the new company through Silexue Company.

As long as the control is still in your hands, the revenue share is not worth worrying about. If the new direction mentioned by Tang Zifeng can be implemented, it means that Sierxue Company has a new growth point, and it may even be a growth point whose income far exceeds that of college entrance examination training. If you give up a small share of income, what's the point? ?

Thinking of this, the two exchanged glances. Guo Xiaoyu nodded and said, "We can accept Mr. Tang's conditions. However, Mr. Tang must ensure that the know-how you provide is effective. We want to open up a new direction and invest in it." In terms of human, material and financial resources, if the know-how provided by Mr. Tang is not effective, these investments will be in vain."

Tang Zifeng said: "There is absolutely no problem with this. You can test the know-how we have developed. You can definitely tell whether it works well or not, right?"

"Well, it should be so." Guo Xiaoyu nodded.

"So, we can make a deal?" Tang Zifeng asked.

"Yes, yes, but..." Zhang Jin was halfway through his words when he couldn't continue. He turned to look at his partner, wondering whether he should say what he said next.

Guo Xiaoyu took over his words and said: "Mr. Tang, Zhang Jin means that we understand the purpose of Mr. Tang's arrangement. According to Mr. Tang's plan, Feihai Company's share in the new business is 46 %. In fact, if we do not open a new company, but directly put the new business into Si Erxue Company, and then increase your equity in Si Erxue to 46%, Zhang Jin and I will be able to accept it. Why did Mr. Tang take such a method?"

"This plan is more beneficial to you." Wang Zijie, who had been listening silently, couldn't help but interject, "Wouldn't it be better for you to take advantage of it?"

Guo Xiaoyu turned to look at Wang Zijie, then looked back at Tang Zifeng, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Of course we know that Mr. Tang's plan is more beneficial to us, but we don't understand Mr. Tang's purpose."

"The purpose is very simple." Tang Zifeng said, "I will only tell you one thing. The 10% equity I require in the new company is not to be held in the name of our Feihai Company, but to be handed over to Someone else."
