Chapter 260 Short of money again

Ps: These days are relatively chaotic. At least one chapter a day has not been interrupted. I'm really sorry, but there is nothing I can do. My mother was discharged from the hospital after an operation. I just came back. Relatives kept coming, needed to be entertained, and I had to prepare for chemotherapy. On the contrary, I was even busier. Fortunately, the rhythm of the code is slowly recovering. Starting from today, it should be able to resume two mores. Thank you for your support!

————————————————————

Li Tianzong hasn't had a singing voice for a long time, but this is not a problem for him. Qianqianjing's level is only two stars for a crescent moon, which is enough for singing.

Theoretically, using "Qianqianjing Listening", Li Tianzong can sing any song well, but he still likes songs with a slower rhythm, which is more in line with the atmosphere of Langqiao Bar.

Li Tianzong chose a eautiful voice and two popular songs, including a slow song by Zhou Dong.

As soon as Li Tianzong began to sing, there was a cheer in the bar. A Lang, who was standing next to him, was a little disapproving. He also heard that Li Tianzong's imitation ability is very strong, and whoever sings songs are like him, but in A Lang's opinion, such a singer imitates well at best. No matter how well he imitates, he will not achieve much in music.

But listening, A Lang found that Li Tianzong's singing was by no means sung by ordinary imitators, because he sang really well.

"You have a good talent, but it's a waste to sing like this," when Li Tianzong finished singing, A Lang said to him very directly.

It can be seen that A Lang is not convinced of Li Tianzong, but he greatly appreciates his singing skills and talent.

Li Tianzong smiled and agreed with A Lang's statement, but he did not intend to develop in singing, so he did not learn much in this area. If he has a better source of income in the future, Langqiao will not come again.

However, after hearing A Lang's straightforward and frank advice, Li Tianzong has a good impression on the new trump card of the corridor bridge.

"Thank you very much!" Li Tianzong said.

"I hope you can cherish your talent!" A Lang heard that Li Tianzong didn't take his words too seriously, and he didn't say much. He walked to the stage with a guitar in his arms and sang a song "I'm Crazy for Song" by himself.

Li Tian listened attentively and found that A Lang sang very well and interpreted the song very well. The biggest feature of this new trump card of the covered bridge is that he is very involved. The singing is particularly emotional and very infectious.

"Mr. Chen, congratulations on finding a good singer in Langqiao," Li Tianzong sincerely blessed. After having A Lang, he wants to leave the bridge and can leave at any time. There is no need to worry about the bridge.

Li Tianzong did not stay on the bridge for too long. After listening to A Lang's song, he said hello to him and left the bridge and came upstairs to interact with Tianren.

Tianren Interactive has just started, and the funds are very scarce. Now it can only be squeezed on the third floor of this small building, renting a few offices and barely working, and even because the facade is too poor, it is regarded as a fraudulent company.

When Li Tianzong came to the third floor, he found that there were still people in the company, and there were many people. In addition to the technical department, several departments were here.

He looked at the time on his mobile phone. It was almost ten o'clock in the evening. Even if he worked overtime, it was already late.

"Mr. Sun, what's the matter? I think everyone is working overtime," Li Tianzong ran directly to the general manager's office and asked Sun Jingxiang.

Li Tianzong kept a low profile in the company. Except for the press conference that made him regret, he rarely appeared in the company and exposed his identity. However, most of the media who came that day were text reporters. His image was not very exposed, and many newly recruited employees did not know him.

Fortunately, the management of Tianren interaction is not so strict, otherwise, he may be stopped at the door.

Sun Jingxiang was looking at something. When she saw Li Tianzong coming in, she couldn't help smiling and said, "Oh, big boss, you're finally here. It's rare to see. I'm hesitating. Whose company is this!"

"Hey hey, with Manager Sun here, I won't make trouble!" Li Tianzong couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Except for the technical department, he seldom comes to the company.

Sun Jingxiang smiled. She was just joking. With such a decentralized boss, it was too late for her to be happy. How could she complain? If the boss has to ask about everything, what else should she do as a manager?

What's more, she also has shares.

"There is nothing special, but the company has been very busy recently!" Sun Jingxiang said with a smile, "Mr. Li, we are engaged in artificial intelligence. Do you think we can be an artificial intelligence customer service? Everyone is so busy now."

Tianren Interactive has just been established, and it has not been able to establish its own recharge payment system. Now it mainly uses bank remittance, online banking and Alipay, and even customer service is online, and several hotlines have not stopped all day.

"This... We are doing it. I'm afraid there will be no progress in a short period of time," Li Tianzong smiled bitterly. He still can't see the source code of the intelligent core. Now the intelligence is still on the periphery of the intelligent core, developed and utilized. Although there are still many directions of application, it is also very difficult.

Of course, this difficulty is much simpler than making another set of intelligent cores, but the strength of human interaction is still very average. To do this, you have to take your time.

Of course, Sun Jingxiang also knows the current situation of the company: "Ok, it's enough to have this plan. I don't care about technical matters, but the company is developing well now. The number of paid members is increased every day, ranging from one or two hundred to four or five hundred. I think the technical department, operation department and customer service department can recruit more. Newcomers, and the current office space, can also find a bigger place.

Li Tianzong turned his head and looked outside the door. The small building was not big, and the room structure was relatively simple. They rented six of them and almost included this floor, but it was still too simple for dozens of people working here.

Although it is still acceptable now, considering the rapid growth of human interaction, it is necessary to reconsider the office space.

The new office space must be able to accommodate more people to work, and it is best to reserve enough space. After all, no one wants to move around all the time.

However, there is a lack of funds in the hands of Tianren Interactive, and now it is difficult to pull out to rent an office, which forms a pair of contradictions and cannot take into account both the immediate and the long-term.

"What are your plans or solutions?" Li Tianzong looked up and asked. He had read a lot of books on management during this period, but after all, it was theoretical. He wanted to hear Sun Jingxiang's opinion first.

"What do you want to listen to first? Looking for someone, looking for a place, or looking for money? Sun Jingxiang asked with a smile.

"Let's talk about money first!" Li Tianzong said, let's talk about everything, you have to settle on money in the end. The problem of money can't be solved, and no matter how good other plans are done, there is no way to implement it.

Sun Jingxiang nodded: "Okay, there are several ways to solve the problem of money. First, there are several ways to borrow. Although there are no fixed assets in Tianren Interactive, this project should be favored by banks. Second, it is to introduce shareholder investment. Based on the prospect of this project, I think some investors will be willing to follow. We cooperate; the third is to introduce venture capital..."

Li Tianzong has read some books on economics and management during this period, and has an understanding of the three methods mentioned by Sun Jingxiang.

These three methods can be roughly divided into two categories: lending and investment. Compared with investment, borrowing will not dilute equity, but it requires financial costs, that is, interest expenses; compared with borrowing, investment does not need to pay interest and repay the principal, but it will inevitably dilute the equity of the original shareholders.

Compared with shareholder investment, venture capital usually does not directly participate in the management of the company. After the growth of the company, venture capital often sells shares to make profits, and shareholder investment must have the voice of the company and participate in the management of the company.

For Li Tianzong, whether it is venture capital or shareholder investment, there is a risk of losing control of the company, and he is obviously unwilling to accept it.

"If you don't have to, don't consider external investment. Mr. Sun can contact the bank first, and I'll also find a way." Li Tianzong didn't have anything to do with money, but tomorrow he is going to meet someone, and there may be a turning point.

"Well, if the money can be solved, we can find an office building in the innovation industrial park of the university town. If the funds are tight, we can see if there is a suitable office space for Shenda University to separate several departments, and it will take about half a year," Sun Jingxiang said.

Li Tianzong meditated for a moment: "Yes, but I still try my best to find some money. After all, the faster the company develops, the more places it needs to spend. Even if you don't change the office space, the server, bandwidth, and the company's employees also need to increase."

Money, in the final analysis, these problems are all entangled in money.
