Chapter 152 New Dream of Development
The next day, Xu Liang came to the New Dream 798 office area.
Secretary Lu Hui quickly came over to greet him.
"Mr. Xu, this is the admission list we received from major art academies after inspecting our classes."
Since Xu Liang was admitted to CAFA without admission exams , New Dream invited admissions teachers from the eight major art academies across the country to visit Shanghai and the capital.
Now there are finally results.
Xu Liang took it and took a look.
"Thirty-eight people? More than half, right?"
Lu Hui nodded and said: "But there is a high probability that less than half of them will actually be admitted without taking the exam."
Xu Liang understood what he meant.
Students who have obtained exemption quotas from the eight major art academies such as Lumei and Ximei, which are relatively low in the rankings, have no problem in passing the Central Academy of Fine Arts exams based on their true strength.
Therefore, there is a high probability that they will not accept the exemption, but will choose to go to a better school.
Only the top three top art academies, CAFA, Tsinghua and Gome, are truly valuable and attractive.
“Send this list to our official website immediately.”
“Yes.”
"Is there anything else?"
"As for the annual meeting, Mr. Teng plans to rent the warehouse next to it. After simple decoration, he will hold the annual meeting nearby, and all teachers and students will participate. Cancel the prizes and replace them with manpower. A gift for the annual meeting.”
Xu Liang took it and took a brief look.
“Just let Mr. Teng make the decisions on these matters. There is no need to notify me.”
Teng Huaming is the CEO and is in charge of corporate development. He is now mainly responsible for the strategic decision-making of New Dream, regardless of such trivial matters.
Lu Hui nodded.
“Is there anything else?”
“No.”
“Go. Call Mr. Teng here.”
“ Yes.”
Lu Hui turned around and left. Not long after, Teng Huaming in a black suit knocked on the door and walked in.
"Mr. Xu, did you call me?"
"Sit."
Xu Liang pointed to the sofa in front of him.
After Teng Huaming sat down, Xu Liang poured him a cup of tea.
"Thank you."
"How is it? Do you feel comfortable with taking charge of the company?"
"It was a bit confusing at the beginning, but now you are basically used to it, and Mr. Li has really helped a lot. .”
Mr. Li is COO Li Yan.
"That's good. I have an idea, please take a look at it in detail."
"You said."
Xu Liang organized his language, "Do you know QQ?"
"Yes, it is the most popular instant messaging software in China."
"QQ has a group function. I plan to set up QQ groups for the parents of our New Dream students based on regions to communicate information in a timely manner, bring our New Dream closer to the parents of our students, and also play a role in publicity.
Just like this time, if we set up a group and send the list of 38 people who are exempted from the exam, it will be a good publicity
The impression that our new dream belongs to a top art training institution has been subtly established in the minds of many parents. If their children have good grades in the future, they will become our voluntary promoters. As long as there is one such person, it will be more effective than a hundred of our sales staff. "
Teng Huaming nodded in agreement.
"I will go back and explain, and immediately ask the administrative department to separate a QQ group department. "
"Remember, each group is cross-managed by at least three people from our company. In addition to updating our company's teachers and students, advertising and arbitrary charges in the name of the company are prohibited in the group. ”
"I understand."
"Also, starting from next year, we will officially launch art training business for children and primary schools, focusing on the four first-tier cities.
Don't be too fast at the beginning , first sum up experience and lessons, recruit and train qualified teachers and managers."
Teng Huaming nodded, "I will go back and lead each department to prepare a plan, formulate a detailed timetable and development plan, and submit it. For your review ”
”
Teng Huaming continued: "One more thing, IDG and Yingke have been asking us about our Series A financing. Do you think we should reply to them?"
Xu Liangdao: "The layout of our New Dream Art Training Center Is it completed?”
“According to the original plan, we now have our branches in first- and second-tier cities across the country, as well as in more economically developed third-tier cities, with a total of thirty-four. There are a total of 8,793 students of all types.”
“That’s already so many? It seems that CCTV News helped us a lot,” Xu Liang said with a smile.
“The effect is very great. In just one month, the number of our students has doubled. Mr. Xu’s pop-up plan has saved us at least 100 million in publicity expenses.”
"It's just an unexpected surprise." Xu Liang waved his hand, "If the development continues for another six months, how many students do you think our training center can have?"
"According to our development trend in the past year, there is a high probability that there will be There are about 10,000 to 12,000 people.”
Xu Liang frowned slightly and said, “It’s a bit small.”
“It’s a bit small. Urban high schools and rural high schools with more students are difficult to reach
It is also difficult for them to afford the monthly training fee of 600 yuan
Moreover, we have already included most cities with relatively good economic development. If we continue to expand the New Dream Art Training Center, it will be difficult for us to experience explosive growth.
According to our survey, New Dream will increase with the development of the domestic economy, more universities will establish art disciplines, and the number of students will increase by about 20% every year.
And this growth will last for five or six years at most, then it will decline and eventually level off. ”
Xu Liang nodded in agreement. He did art training in his previous life and is very clear about the development patterns of this industry.
In about six or seven years, the number of art candidates for the college entrance examination will exceed million, and then peaked at 1.1 million in about 10 years, then fell as competition became more intense
The vast majority of the more than one million art candidates are studying in their respective high school art classes, and those who can actually afford to enroll in training classes may only be one-tenth, or even less.
This one-tenth also faces competition from other art training classes.
Only one-twentieth of them actually fall into the hands of New Dream.
So, Teng Huaming’s calculation is generally correct.
“So you are inclined to accept financing and develop early childhood and primary school art training as soon as possible?”
"Yes. This market is much larger than the college entrance examination art training. If we enter earlier and establish influence, we can succeed earlier."
Xu Liang nodded and thought for a while.
"Then we will officially start financing negotiations in half a year."
Teng Huaming nodded and said with a smile: "I am going to hold the annual meeting on January 15th. Will Mr. Xu attend it together?"< br>
“Of course. It’s the company’s first annual meeting anyway, so I can’t miss it.”
"Then prepare another show, sing a song?"
"Haha, no problem."
Xu Liang readily agreed. Although his singing was not as good as those of professionals, At least it's passable.
