Explosive entrepreneurship

Chapter 55

Everything proceeded step by step according to Gou Dai's plan.

Every day, a large number of elderly people pour into the interest class.Among them, some children helped to sign up; some heard that they could come for free; most of them were old students who passed word of mouth and brought their friends to come.

Looking at the perfect operating income and profits on the book, Gou Dai's mood is also high.

However, two months later, Gou Dai noticed that things were going differently.

The fatigue of the growth rate of students has not been revealed, and it has always maintained a steady increase.

This is not the same as his estimate.

According to his calculation model, the disadvantages of free courses should be beginning to emerge, and the number may increase, but the increase will definitely drop sharply.

According to the current trend, I am afraid that it will not be able to meet the failure requirements as scheduled.

Gou Dai once again went to the campus for on-the-spot investigation to discover the key to the problem.

Gou Dai came to the Chengdong Campus of [Never Slack in Learning].

The Chengdong campus is the smallest of the four campuses, located in a twelve-story building in the Lakeside East business district.

Gou Dai walked to the lobby on the first floor. In the lobby, most of the elderly people were waiting for the elevator, while the young people huddled pitifully in the corner.If it is not mentioned that there is an interest class for the elderly in this building, you must be worried about the aging population in our country.

Half a minute later, the four elevators came down at the same time, the crowd filed in, and the lobby suddenly became empty.

Gou Dai was the last one to step into the elevator, stood for a second, suddenly realized that something was wrong, stepped out of the elevator, and motioned for others to go up first.

Perhaps because of his looks, the old people liked him so much, the old man in the elevator pressed the door-opening button of the elevator: "I'm not overweight, come up."

"I'll wait for someone." Gou Dai said softly.

Only then did the old people give up the idea of ​​sharing a ride with them.

Gou Dai stood at the elevator entrance, thinking about what was wrong just now, and scanned the lobby, finally found the clue of the problem

- Floor map on the wall next to the elevator.

There were crowds of people in front of the line of sight just now, which blocked the instruction map.At this moment, it is clear at a glance.

[3-7 floors, don't neglect learning]

Gou Dai was stunned.

如果他没有出现健忘症，不怠学习应该在3-4层，多出来5、6、7层是什么情况？

In horror novels, counting the stairs in the middle of the night will add one more step, which is directly three more steps.

When the elevator fell back to the first floor again, Gou Dai pressed the 3rd floor button and came to the front desk of the non-slack study.

In the living room at the front desk, Fu Qiaoming also came to Chengdong Campus.Seeing Gou Dai, she who was sitting crookedly on the sofa stood up suddenly and looked at Gou Dai.

"Boss! Which gust of wind brought you here?"

"Just come and have a look."

The two walked around on the third floor.

In addition to the front reception room on the third floor, there are two staff offices, a large leisure area, three small reception rooms, and four large classrooms.

Gou Dai came to the big rest area.

It was class time now, and there were only a dozen people in the rest area, most of them young people.

Fu Qiaoming said: "They are all young people who brought their parents to class."

Looking at the bored young man sitting by the window sill, Gou Dai couldn't help feeling warm and funny.

He often sees this scene of waiting for the training class to end in the early childhood education area and children's piano class in the shopping mall.

At this moment, the scene is still the same, but the characters have been changed, but there are also some meanings of crows feeding back and lambs kneeling, which is moving.

"You are Gou Dai!" A young man suddenly came to Gou Dai's side.

"Yes, are you?"

Young man: "My name is Zhang Si, and I send my grandparents to cram school. I especially admire you and am your fan."

"Grandpa and grandma?" Gou Dai stared at the young man, [Never Slack in Learning] also has an upper age limit and health assessment for the students, otherwise they will not be able to afford to go around if they make a mistake.

Zhang Si scratched his head and said with a smile: "They all married early and had children early, and they are only over 60 this year."

Gou Dai nodded: "Very good, you are also very filial."

Zhang Si said that he deserved it: "I saw your advertisement and was inspired. I am only 24, and my grandparents give me blind dates every day. If I don't find something for them to do, I doubt that every day I go home. I can see different girls."

Gou Dai smiled and said, "Grandpa and Grandma are also doing it for your own good."

Zhang Si nodded: "I understand their painstaking efforts, but I'm gay, and I don't want to harm the girl."

Gou Dai: ...

Zhang Si: "Boss Gou, don't worry, gays don't just fall into heat casually, it's just a man. I worship you, pure as the water of the Yellow River."

Fu Qiaoming interjected: "The water in the Yellow River is not pure."

Gou Dai: ...

Before Zhang Si's description became darker and darker, Gou Dai changed the subject: "What class did you enroll for the old man?"

Zhang Si: "The piano class for my grandma, and the erhu for my grandpa."

Gou Dai was surprised: "They didn't apply to the same class?"

Zhang Si: "My grandfather likes traditional arts, and my grandmother pursues foreign styles, so she teaches students in accordance with their aptitude."

Gou Dai was a little moved suddenly: "It can be seen that you are very attentive."

Zhang Si laughed dryly: "You flatter me! It's actually because when I was young, the two of them argued for a month about which interest class I should go to. My grandfather said that the erhu is the quintessence of the country, and Chinese people should learn the quintessence of the country! My grandma said that you are nothing but blind. Bing, can you name the second erhu master? Of course you have to learn the piano, International Fan!"

Gou Dai: "Then you learned it in the end?

"In the end, my mother couldn't bear the argument between the two, so she let me go to both classes to calm the family conflict. I was only 7 years old at the time! There were five days of classes, two days off on weekends, and one day was taken up by the damn Orsay training class. ! Only the precious Sunday is left, the erhu in the morning and the piano in the afternoon, I am so erudite.”

Zhang Si recalled that his face was full of bitterness "I have suffered too much for this family at a young age".

Fu Qiaoming on the side: "The elders are also doing it for your own good. You must understand the elders' good intentions. After all, you don't have too many skills."

Fu Qiaoming's baby has also reached the age where she can attend interest classes, and she also plans to do elite education, and interest classes are naturally inevitable.Hearing Zhang Si's remarks, it was like hearing his own son's complaints when he grew up, and suddenly felt the pain of kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs.

Gou Dai saw through the contradictions between the two sides at a glance, and reconciled: "The interest class itself should be based on the interest. It should be your own interest, not the parent's interest. If you enroll in the class for your grandparents, that's good."

Zhang Si sighed: "That is."

Gou Dai comforted Fu Qiaoming again: "Look, Xiao Zhang still understands the good intentions of the elders, otherwise he wouldn't have accompanied his grandparents to class."

As soon as Fu Qiaoming got a little comfort in his heart, Zhang Si said: "That's not true. When I was young, I didn't learn the piano and the erhu well, and I was often scolded by my grandparents, but I was aggrieved! Now it's all right, I ask every time after class. Teachers, how well they learn, can repay the debts of the year, 'Oh, have you listened carefully to the class, such a simple piece can't be played well! I worked so hard to send you to the interest class, not for you to spoil of'."

Although Zhang Si's tone was obviously joking, Fu Qiaoming was still depressed, as if seeing his grown-up son say, "Mom, why can't you even do such a simple Olympiad problem?" '

Gou Dai didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "In the future, you can play four-handed playing with grandma, and play the erhu with grandpa. It's very good."

Zhang Si looked disgusted: "Huh~ Impossible~ After the sixth grade, I couldn't keep up with my schoolwork, so I gave up these two things. But in the future, I can call them to perform shows for relatives and friends during the holidays, in order to repay my childhood. When it comes to the Spring Festival, they ask them to 'come, grandson, show your uncle and aunt a unique skill'."

While talking about revenge, the smile on Zhang Si's face became brighter and brighter. It can be seen that the family is harmonious and happy.

Gou Dai was a little envious.

Walking around in a circle, Gou Dai found that the young people in the house had almost the same idea as Zhang Si. It seems that the ingenious and ghostly advertisement of [Not Slack in Learning] has unexpectedly won the approval of a large number of non-customer groups .

"Hey, get out of class is over, I'll go to see my grandparents." Zhang Si said, and went upstairs with two thermos cups and a bag of hot snacks.

Gou Dai simply went together.

There are 12 large classrooms on the fourth floor, all of which are full this morning.

Gou Dai also saw Zhang Si's grandparents.Grandpa wears presbyopic glasses, has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and has a poetic temperament all over his body.Grandma is rather old-fashioned, with fluffy curly hair permed, and wearing a bright red cheongsam.

They are two very lovable and lively old people.

Zhang Si handed over the thermos, and bragged about the limited-edition snacks he bought after running two streets.The three talked and laughed at Yan Yan, very warm.

Gou Dai's heart suddenly felt a little sour, and he couldn't help but turn his back and walk to the end of the corridor.

There is a window at the end of the corridor, and you can see the busy street in the east business district.

"Boss, why are you suddenly unhappy?" Fu Qiaoming asked cautiously.

Gou Dai calmed down and said, "It's okay, I thought of my grandpa."

Looking at Gou Dai's expression, Fu Qiaoming knew that the elder of the other party might not be alive, so he comforted him: "My condolences."

Gou Dai looked at the energetic and smiling elderly people outside the classroom from afar.

Although his original intention of creating [Not Slack in Learning] was purely to complete the system requirements in exchange for the resurrection of his grandfather who did not know how to achieve it.But [Never Slack in Learning] If it can really bring happiness to the elderly and add luster to their later life, Gou Dai will also feel happy and honored.

After completing the system requirements, he may be able to open [Never Slack Learning] and entrust it to those who are willing and passionate about this industry.

But right now, he still has to think about how to reverse the "prosperous situation" of [not slack in learning].

Gou Dai walked to the fifth floor of the building and finally found the problem.

The decoration style of the fifth floor is not the same as that of the third and fourth floors, but it is also comfortable and generous. Most importantly, courses are being carried out in many rooms.

"Wait, I remember we only have the third and fourth floors?" Gou Dai wondered.

Fu Qiaoming: "Hey, boss, don't you know?"

"what do you know?"

Only then did Fu Qiaoming explain the ins and outs of the matter in detail.

It turned out that a few weeks ago, the partner He Mingzhan, who never showed his face, came to the Chengdong campus, and it happened that Fu Qiaoming and Wang Feiniu were there at that time.

He Mingzhan asked if there was any difficulty in the development of "Never Slack in Learning", and Fu Qiaoming informed He Mingzhan of the shortage of classroom resources.

Due to the rapid increase of new students, the original small class with 12 students has been expanded to 20 students, and the large class with 30 students has been expanded to 48 students, which is already in a saturated state.If the number of new students increases, the classroom capacity will continue to increase, and the effect of the class will definitely decrease.

He Mingzhan slapped his hands together, saying "Awesome", he couldn't solve other things, and this problem was in his hands.

It turned out that the reason why He Mingzhan came that day was because the foreign trade company on the upper floor of [Not Slack in Learning] was going to be relocated, leaving three floors vacant.

He Mingzhan said bluntly that the third floor will be used directly.

Fu Qiaoming is very happy, because the layout and room arrangement of the foreign trade company are very compatible with [Never Slack in Learning]. There is no need to redecorate it, and it can be used as a classroom. It only needs to add some tables, chairs and teaching aids.

In addition to Chengdong Campus, a large gymnasium in the Ishii Campus building closed down, leaving two floors vacant. In addition, the Binnan Campus building already had two vacant floors. Solved the problem of classroom tension.

When Gou Dai learned today, he was speechless for a moment.

Shouldn't a normal partner be unwilling to let the other party take advantage of a penny, and he must pay every penny, and if he has a little more labor technology or production materials, he will ask to divide up the shares and make a profit?

As a partner, He Mingzhan gave so many houses at once without even saying hello?Muffled to do good deeds?

What kind of spirit is this?

This is the spirit of internationalism!

Gou Dai decided to add a line to his "Entrepreneurship Experience Handbook" tonight - "Choose partners carefully"!

Gou Dai: "There are so many venues, and there is no corresponding number of teachers to support it?"

Fu Qiaoming immediately puffed up his chest, as if asking for credit. "In the last month's meeting, didn't the boss ask us to expand our thinking, and also talked about the case of educational institutions employing college students as tutors? I got inspired. Many of our courses, such as "Entering the Internet Era", do not require any technical content Or professional knowledge, any college student can easily understand it. I just need to select students who are friendly and responsible, and ask lecturers to train them, and then they can become teachers and teach students.”

Fu Qiaoming swallowed, and continued: "For other courses with high professional skills, we go to specialized art colleges and fine arts colleges to select students who are also patient and able to communicate. Their professional skills are more than enough to teach the elderly. They observed a few classes, were training in speaking skills, and the teaching effect was no worse than that of the full-time teachers we specially hired."

Seeing Gou Dai's numb expression, Fu Qiaoming thought that he was not doing a perfect job, and hastily added: "These college students are paid according to the class, and there is no five social insurance and one housing fund. The same class hours are two-thirds cheaper than full-time lecturers."

Seeing that Gou Dai was still expressionless, Fu Qiaoming felt that it was not comprehensive enough, and added again: "These college students are very friendly and can speak well. Many elderly people will continue to enroll in other courses with the same lecturer, and earn a lot of money."

Gou Dai smiled bitterly: "It's very powerful, learn and use it flexibly."

It seems that I have to add another line to my "Entrepreneurial Experience Manual"-"Subordinates should not be too capable!"

Gou Dai returned to the large lounge on the third floor in a daze.

He couldn't figure it out. Whether it was recruiting partners or employees at the beginning, it was all for the purpose of laying a minefield and making his entrepreneurial path "collapse". Why is it "adding wings to a tiger" now?

Gou Dai, who was puzzled, sat at the imitation tree trunk table in the center of the lounge.

Suddenly, an aunt patted him on the shoulder.

Gou Dai scanned around and found that there were still many seats around, so it shouldn't be for him to give up his seat.

"Auntie, is something wrong?"

An old lady wearing a full set of aerobics equipment sat beside her and said mysteriously, "I heard from the staff that you are the boss here?"

"Yep."

The old lady stretched out her hand and patted her shoulder again, her palm strength was astonishing: "The young man is promising!"

After the grandma finished her compliment, she immediately said: "Let me tell you, I just like your style. Every time I watch CCTV's public service announcements, I get goosebumps and feel uncomfortable all over. You said that those old people have such a rich modern life. Mahjong! Watching TV! Traveling with others! Is the world not good? I have nothing to do and stand downstairs at home every day, doing nothing, just waiting for the child to come back for a meal, with a look of bitterness, hopelessness, and grievance , why bother? If you don’t live, the child still has to live!”

Gou Dai looked at the old lady in Beicheng who was especially good at talking about mountains, and couldn't get in the way at all, so he could only nod in agreement.

"There are also 'black hair with frost', 'eyes losing their brilliance', 'waist not straight', what an old and haggard face, and a shabby back. You are so old and haggard, so shabby, I am so good-looking!"

Gou Dai couldn't help laughing, and echoed: "Auntie, you are right!"

The grandma was filled with righteous indignation: "I didn't say that the country should vigorously promote interest classes for the elderly like you, instead of sensationalizing all day in the Spring Festival Gala, 'Where does the time go, you will be old before you feel young'." This kind of person is I wasted my time when I was young, I didn’t know where my time was spent, and when I was old, I couldn’t enjoy life well, and I kept moaning about it.”

Gou Dai didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This song just wants to lament how fast time goes by..."

How could the old lady who can chatter give Gou Dai a chance to interrupt, and continued: "I used to be active in the community activity center, oops, those old people fished for three days and posted on the net for two days, and they often couldn't even make up a mahjong, and the environment was not good enough. Not good. It’s good to come here now, there are many projects, you can try everything, the teacher is also patient, and you have made many friends, I really wish I could come here every day!”

Gou Dai looked at the chrysanthemum folds on the grinning face of the old lady, and for some reason, felt warm in his heart.

The old woman suddenly lowered her head, the excitement dissipated just now, and she was a little depressed: "My wife has abandoned me for many years, and my children are still filial. They come to see me every week and send me a lot of money. But do you understand, they can't make up for it?" The emptiness in life, the loneliness after family gatherings. I wanted to go down early to accompany the old man. But after coming to [Never Slack Study], I really found a lot of happiness, and I feel like the energetic girl back then!"

The old lady raised her head with her lowered head, but her aged cloudy eyes were shining brightly: "So thank you, boss."

At that moment, Gou Dai saw the shadow of grandpa in a daze, and the idea of ​​"speeding up the reversal of adversity" that had just sprouted in his heart suddenly faded away a little.

Seeing that the old lady regarded [Never Slack in Learning] as a half of her family and a spiritual pillar, he suddenly felt that it seemed unfair to these people to let her go bankrupt.
