Explosive entrepreneurship

Chapter 50 Set sail again

For several days during the Spring Festival, Gou Dai stayed with Liang Junche and Chen Boxue.

At the beginning, we went to temple fairs and watched movies together, and then we searched for the venue for new projects together.

Chen Boxue tugged at his hair: "Boss, I came back to China to let go of myself, not to be ascetic. Now I accompany you to watch calligraphy and painting exhibitions, art exhibitions, and appreciate the landscape and humanities of Beicheng every day. I'm almost withered!"

Liang Junche: "Isn't it good to take you to cultivate your sentiments? Isn't it enough for you to spend your days and nights in the country of Sam? Be careful of excessive premature aging and impotence."

Chen Boxue raised his eyebrows: "Little virgin, please don't speculate too much on mature men."

Liang Junche: ...

Chen Boxue looked at Liang Junche who was suddenly silent: "No way, boss! Are you really guarding yourself like a jade for your senior Gou?"

Liang Junche: ...

Chen Boxue suddenly had a compassionate expression: "That's all, I understand!"

Liang Junche: "Get lost."

==

In downtown Beicheng, an old building on the edge of a crossroad.

Gou Dai held the map: "The flow of people is good."

Liang Junche echoed: "Well, it's a good place, the senior has really good eyesight."

Chen Boxue looked at the posters of cram schools and interest classes on the bottom of the old building, as if recalling a childhood nightmare: "Where is it, purgatory on earth."

But on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the elevators in the old building were already running diligently.

The elevator was crowded with elementary and middle school students, some holding information bags, some carrying piano bags, or wearing dance clothes.

Chen Boxue sighed quietly: "It seems to remind me of my childhood. My dad forced me to take extra-curricular classes. I can arrange six classes on a Saturday, which is busier than going to school. Can you believe it?"

Gou Dai, who had never taken an extra-curricular class, couldn't empathize with him, but still patted him on the shoulder comfortingly.

Liang Junche snorted: "Come on, this guy was a soft-brush calligraphy and painting, and the calligrapher was so angry that he was sick for a month; he learned the erhu, and all the cats and dogs in a ten-mile radius ran away; he learned math, and the math teacher cried and begged for help." return the money..."

Chen Boxue was not ashamed at all, but proud of it, and said to the big and small friends who were full of elevators: "You have a bit of rebellious spirit back then, so you don't have to be your parents' puppets now."

Liang Junche kicked Chen Boxue because there were not only students in the interest class in the elevator, but also accompanying parents.

The elevator goes to the seventh floor.

Stepping out of the elevator, the corridor was empty.

The signboard of a previous tutoring institution was hung on the wall. The signboard had dropped two words, leaving only the front happy.

Chen Boxue: "Can tutoring make you happy? You can't even see it."

The entire floor was empty, leaving only a few desks and chairs with missing arms and legs, and scattered teaching aids.

Chen Boxue: "Little Gou, you were very good at catering before, why do you want to do interest classes?"

It is impossible for Gou Dai to say 'I want to change the direction to see if I can fail to start a business', so I can only say: "I want to try a new field."

Chen Boxue shook his head: "Hey, Xiaogou, I admired you very much at first, but I didn't expect that you would also become the executioner who made the flowers of the motherland lose their happiness."

Gou Dai smiled: "First, many children may be forced to do interest classes and cram schools, but there are also many children who are really interested; second, I don't want to run interest classes for students, but Interest classes for the elderly."

"Interest class for the elderly!" Chen Boxue's eyes lit up.

Gou Dai nodded: "Yes, there are currently interest classes for minors in Yishui all over China. Although the elderly occasionally have square dance troupes and activity rooms for the elderly in the community, they seldom have any interest in institutionalized and professional training for the elderly. class."

When Chen Boxue heard this, he couldn't help but said, "Wonderful."

Liang Junche: "What's so wonderful?"

Chen Boxue put his arms around Liang Junche's shoulders: "Think about it, when I went to your house when I was a child, your grandpa would call 'Jun Che, come and play the piano for everyone, he just won the first prize in the National Piano Competition last month' When you go to your house in the future, you can say, 'Come on, grandpa, play the piano for everyone! My old man just won the 'Piano Interest Class No.1 for the Elderly' a few days ago, so let everyone have fun. Perfect ! Vengeance must be avenged!"

Gou Dai was thoughtful: "Grandpa?"

Liang Junche suddenly thought of something, and while kneeling Chen Boxue to shut him up, he explained: "My father rarely comes back, and I always live with grandpa."

Liang Junche didn't lie this time, every word was the truth.

Gou Dai also naturally helped him to make sense of the logic, because his mother died young and his father remarried, Liang Junche didn't like to stay in the rebuilt home and live with his grandfather.

Thinking of this, Gou Dai felt a little more sympathetic with Liang Junche.

Liang Junche felt guilty and changed the subject: "But interest classes for the elderly, there is no profit point. The popularity of interest classes for minors is because parents hope that their children will become dragons and daughters will become phoenixes, and they are willing to invest and spend on education. However, interest classes for the elderly, as a The children of middle-aged people may not be willing to spend this money for their parents, and the elderly themselves may not be willing to invest."

Gou Dai nodded, if he could really make a lot of money, this industry would not be so sparse, and he would not put his idea of ​​entrepreneurial failure on it.

Liang Junche: "Besides, according to the current situation in China, most of the elderly need to help their children take care of the next generation, and I am afraid that they will not be able to spare time."

Gou Dai is very satisfied with Liang Junche's sharpness.

Gou Dai's thinking is very simple.In the early stage, through marketing and designing new concepts, the elderly are encouraged to "break free from the shackles of tradition" and create the concept of "leaving the family and integrating into society" for the elderly.

After a wave of overwhelming publicity and marketing, there will naturally be some elderly people who are more advanced in thinking and more outgoing in personality choose interest classes.

After the revenue and market reach a certain scale, the project can naturally fail without Gou Dai making a special move.

The reason is as analyzed by Liang Junche, their customers are the elderly, not the students who cut off one wave after another.There are only a small number of elderly people who have advanced ideas and are willing to pay for interest classes for the elderly. When this wave of elderly people finishes the course, there will be no continuous influx of new students, and the organization will naturally be unable to maintain.

At the same time, the elderly who are willing to pay for interest classes are also bound by their families and children. Maybe they have learned social dance for two days, and their children are about to give birth to the next generation, so they need to return to their families to do their best.This is the tradition of China, and it is also the helplessness of the elderly in China.

Fifteen minutes later, a burly middle-aged man with a copper ring key pinned to his waist stepped onto the floor.

"It's because you plan to rent a house?" The middle-aged man glanced at the three of them, obviously thinking that the other party was just a stunned young man who had just left school. "Why, do you want to start a business? The family on this floor is also a graduate business. I went there, and it collapsed within half a year. I even cheated people into getting a stored-value card. Many parents of students came to me to hold banners. It also poured eight lifetimes of blood You will only rent it to this kind of person."

The middle-aged man said angrily.

Don't blame the landlord's power, the landlord also has a chain of discrimination against the tenant.

If the tenant is a business office of a large bank, the landlord will take the initiative to set up a table to build relationships.

If the tenant is a large state-owned enterprise, the landlord will take the initiative to offer a discount.

If the tenant is a well-known private company, the landlord will negotiate peacefully.

If the tenant is an entrepreneur who has his last meal but never his next meal, don't expect any good looks from the landlord.

The middle-aged man pulled out a contract from his arms, very sophisticated.

"Let's take a look. One deposit pays three, and all expenses such as water, electricity, power lines and property are paid by oneself. The minimum rent is one year, and the deposit will not be refunded within one year." The landlord said skillfully.

Gou Dai took it and glanced at it, with a perplexed expression on his face. "Your rent is different from what the introducer said before." The rent was nearly 50.00% higher than his budget.

Landlords are impatient too, it's clearly a seller's market with no shortage of tenants.

"What you're asking about is the price in the year of the monkey. This building is mine. You can ask whatever you want. If you think it's too expensive, you don't have to rent it. It's a waste of time."

Chen Boxue choked: "Whether you can talk, I will buy you this building easily..."

Before he finished speaking, he was knocked by Liang Junche and pulled behind him.

Gou Dai looked at the contract: "Brother, I have a plan. We will implement 60% of the contract in the first three months, and 145% of the contract in the next three months. In this way, you have an extra month of 15 months in half a year." % increase gold, what do you think?"

Gou Dai's plan has his own considerations.The lower rent in the early stage can just reduce the cost, so the net profit will be relatively considerable.The higher rent in the later period can increase the operating burden and "add bricks and tiles" to his entrepreneurial failure.

Unfortunately, the landlord is unwilling to cooperate.

"60% in the early stage? Hehe, little comrade, do you know the rate of return I get when I use my cash for private lending? I've seen people like you a lot. They say that you will pay less in the early stage and more in the later stage. In reality, it is probably not more than two He disappeared in a month."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who is Xiaogou, and how about giving you less money?" Chen Boxue was usually the only one who was arrogant and domineering to others, and there was no way that others would choke on him.Even if it was Gou Dai who was choking on the other party, he still felt the humiliation of being scolded together.

The landlord snorted, turned and walked back to the elevator. "Whoever you are, the Heavenly King and I can't lose a cent of the rent."

When the landlord left, Chen Boxue kicked the wall angrily and was stopped by Gou Dai.

"The location here is good, and you don't have to worry about renting. It's a seller's market, so don't get angry." Gou Dai said.

Chen Boxue: "Who is the turtle grandson showing his face to? I have never suffered such grievances since I grew up."

Liang Junche: "Then your point of being wronged is indeed a little low."

Chen Boxue: "Isn't it just renting a few classrooms, Xiaogou, you wait, I will help you."

As Chen Boxue said, he took out his mobile phone and swipe through the address book.After a while, he really found a suitable person.

He pulled Liang Junche aside: "Boss, do you still remember He Mingzhan?"

Liang Junche looked strange.

Chen Boxue reminded: "I've met him before, he is the son of He Zhilu, who is a few years older than us."

Only then did Liang Junche remember.

The He family can be regarded as a family of scholars, especially He Zhizhi, who has made great progress in the political arena in the past few years. Even if Mr. Liang meets him, he will greet him with a smile.It is said that He Mingzhan is not very successful.

Chen Boxue: "Ah Zhan and I are in the same university. I remember he said that his mother bought him a lot of office buildings and so on. I asked him and asked him to rent a few."

Liang Junche looked embarrassed: "Yes, but you can say hello to He Mingzhan, don't tell me who I am."

Chen Boxue recalled Liang Junche's strange actions in the past few days, such as asking him to drive a very ordinary car, such as not going to too high-end consumer places, etc., and he was immediately blessed.

Chen Boxue: "Boss, I understand! You want to test whether Xiaogou is a money-worshipper? Is it someone who fell in love with you instead of your money?"

Liang Junche rolled his eyes.

Chen Boxue: "Isn't it all on Douyin? Pretend to be poor in front of your lover, and then go in two directions. If your girlfriend looks down on him for money and dumps him, she will appear in front of her in a glamorous manner with two rows of luxury cars." , and then slanted the corners of his mouth contemptuously. If your girlfriend doesn’t worship money and says that I want to live an ordinary life with you, such an expensive ring will cost you several months’ salary, so don’t buy it. You just reveal your true identity and talk to her Said: All the diamond mines in South Africa have been contracted by me'."

After Chen Boxue finished speaking, he looked at Liang Junche expectantly.

Liang Junche: "Stop looking at stupid things."

Chen Boxue persisted: "Otherwise, I can't think of any other reason!"

Liang Junche sighed quietly, the initial lie can only be fulfilled with countless efforts.

==

Chen Boxue contacted He Mingzhan, unexpectedly, the other party was very interested in Gou Dai's project, and even said that he could make an appointment immediately.

So the three of them drove the car again and set off for the next destination.

Liang Junche was a little curious: "Is He Mingzhan so talkative?"

Chen Boxue: "At first he wasn't interested, but after hearing about Xiaogou's project, he immediately expressed his desire to talk about it."

Liang Junche frowned, not to blame him for being suspicious, the fact that He Ming exhibited the cabinet was a big deal, and even the second-generation circle in Beicheng had heard of it.

As a straight man obsessed with big breasts and fat buttocks, Chen Boxue obviously didn't think about it. "I think he probably heard about the interest class for the elderly. He thought that he could let his father learn English and Japanese in the future, and experience his pain at the beginning. He was so happy."

Liang Junche: "Not everyone resists interest classes, some people are eager to learn."

Chen Boxue turned the steering wheel with a "huh" and gave a small report to Gou Dai. "Little Gou, do you know that Liang Junche was not human when he was in high school? There was an evening self-study, their homeroom teacher, a female math teacher, was giving a lecture. He sat at the back door and turned off the lights. Their homeroom teacher thought it was a wire. It's tripping."

Liang Junche felt very ashamed, and patted Chen Boxue on the shoulder, "Shut up!" Then he turned around and explained to Gou Dai: "I was in a daze at the time, that's why I did stupid things."

Naturally, Chen Boxue couldn't keep his mouth shut, so he became more energetic and shared the story of the two who were all-powerful in middle school.

Gou Dai listened with gusto, while Liang Junche wanted to pierce the roof of the car with his head and bury his head on it.

Chen Boxue: "We used to be good brothers, we went forward and back together, but you know, this guy suddenly changed his temperament in the third year of high school. I saw him studying every day, and then he got into Q University in the college entrance examination. Let me tell you, two days ago If someone told me that Liang Junche could be admitted to Q University in [-], I would tell him that I could replace the portrait of a great man on the gate tower with my Qzone selfie."

Reminded by Chen Boxue, Gou Dai thought of the unruly boy with long parrot-colored hair in midsummer that year.

Gou Dai: "You seem to be right when you say that. I remember that when I first met Jun Che, he was stubborn and cute, and he was keen on unorthodox hair. He must contradict one of the three sentences."

Chen Boxue laughed loudly: "Right, right, hey, didn't you guys meet after going to Q University?"

Gou Dai: "Let's go earlier, the summer vacation the year before last, by coincidence, I stayed for a month."

Chen Boxue: "Haha, it's so early..."

As Chen Boxue spoke, his voice weakened.

Wasn't Liang Junche's temperament changed drastically during the summer vacation the year before last?

The school made up classes in August, and Liang Junche studied in the classroom every night after making up classes, and it was impossible to go out.In other words, the one month they spent together was the reason why Liang Junche completely changed.

Through the rearview mirror, Chen Boxue looked at Liang Junche's half-lowered face with slightly flushed cheeks, and was startled suddenly.

After arriving at the destination and getting off the car, Chen Boxue secretly pulled Liang Junche aside.

"Boss, are you serious?"

"Seriously?"

"You treat Xiaogou."

"Of course it's serious!" Liang Junche was categorical, thinking that Chen Boxue's words had humiliated him.

Chen Boxue's complexion was not good, he thought that Liang Junche was acting on a whim, after all, who didn't do something foolish and desperate for a beautiful love when he was young.

But for a person who has completely changed, and has not expressed his heart for a year and a half, this kind of earnestness, which is almost persistent, is by no means encompassed by youthful impulse.

Chen Boxue reminded: "But your old man can't agree!"

With this kind of background, they can mess around and be willful, but they can't help themselves and have no control over many things.

Liang Junche said lightly: "I don't need his consent for my affairs."

==

The three came to a coffee shop.

There are records of Argentine female singers in the store, and there is a faint fragrance of lilies in the air. Half-open and half-closed bamboo curtains hang in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, cutting the sunlight into uniform pieces.The store is filled with many full bookshelves, full of literary and artistic atmosphere.

"My buddy opened the store." Chen Boxue introduced.

Gou Dai glanced at the books on the bookshelf in the coffee shop, most of them were Latin American literature, including his beloved Borges, Marquez and so on.

"It seems that your friend is a scholar."

Chen Boxue let out two drawn-out "hehe."

"You're overestimating. You don't think he picked the books on the shelves, do you? This store used to be a bookstore, and there were a lot of old books left when we moved out. A Zhan used them all for decoration based on the principle of not wasting. Believe me, he won't even open the first page of any of these."

Gou Dai: ...

Soon, the three of them saw He Mingzhan yawning in the private room separated by wooden rattan in the corner.

"Long time no see." After He Mingzhan greeted Chen Boxue, he shook hands with Liang Junche, and finally his eyes fell on Gou Dai.

"Gou Dai, Boss Gou! Do you think I look familiar?" He Mingzhan's smile was dimpled, and cunning was buried in the dimples.

Gou Dai shook his head.

He Mingzhan reminded: "The [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, Xianghu Garden."

Gou Dai reacted: "You belong to the old lady?"

"Grandson." He Mingzhan said with a smile.

"The world is so small." Gou Dai laughed.

Liang Junche watched the two of them playing riddles, feeling unwilling.He found the right opportunity and sat side by side with Gou Dai.

Chen Boxue and He Mingzhan sat opposite each other.

The waiter brings coffee and cake.

Chen Bo is good at inquiring, and he must know how the two met, so He Mingzhan explained the matter in detail.

He Mingzhan: "My father is suspicious by nature. You helped a lot that day but you were wronged. It's our fault. Come on, I'll substitute coffee for wine, so I won't accompany you."

After all, He Mingzhan drank the espresso in his hand in one gulp.

Chen Boxue doesn't like the bitterness of coffee, so he eats chiffon cake and black tea: "Little Gou, you are so kind, aren't you? You can be patient with old people. I admire you."

Gou Dai smiled: "I have lived with my grandparents since I was a child, so I will be closer."

Because of this relationship, the four of them became more intimate.

He Mingzhan took the initiative: "I heard from Erudite, how many houses are you going to find for classrooms for interest classes?"

Gou Dai nodded.

He Mingzhan was very interested: "Why do you want to be an interest class for the elderly?"

Gou Dai had no choice but to nonsense: "At present, there is a lack of systematic and large-scale training courses for the elderly in the market. I also hope to enrich the lives of the elderly and make their lives more possible, instead of sticking to the traditional life. Way."

He Mingzhan nodded, with a look of approval, took out his mobile phone, swiped a few times, and several addresses were displayed. "In these places, there are many old-fashioned communities around, and many elderly people live there. It is very suitable for the interest classes for the elderly you mentioned."

Gou Dai took a look, and found that these locations are in the commercial streets in the old urban area where land is expensive, not only suitable for hobby classes, but 90.00% of the commercial products are compatible.

That is, expensive.

Gou Dai: "The location is very good, but my budget for the rent may not be able to meet your expectations."

He Mingzhan smiled like a fox: "I don't want rent, I want to cooperate with you."

Gou Dai: "Huh?"

He Mingzhan: "Asset investment, what do you think?"

Gou Dai was startled, he didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to invest.

He Mingzhan: "It's not that I don't have much cash, but if Boss Gou has cash flow needs, I can also invest in cash."

Gou Dai: "That's not necessary."

Gou Dai was hesitating, his sleeves were pulled by someone, he turned his head, Liang Junche stared at him, full of grievances flowed out of his deep pupils.

Liang Junche: "Don't you want me?"

Gou Dai: "Huh?"

Liang Junche: "Don't you want me to invest?"

Liang Junche's voice was very weak, with a bit of illusory.

Gou Dai felt that what he was facing was a frail dandelion, but he mercilessly tore off the dandelion flower, leaving it homeless in the cold wind and wandering around.

This metaphor made Gou Dai shudder.

He didn't do anything heinous, did he?

Besides, when it comes to investing, shouldn’t entrepreneurs beg their grandparents to sue their grandma and implore investors to give them a chance?Why did the investors themselves feel wronged?

Gou Dai hurriedly comforted: "This time we need more funds, if other people invest, we can spread them out."

The Entrepreneurial Lessons System has scoring for the scale of financing. Although there is no specific detail, Gou Dai guesses that the amount of financing accounts for the vast majority, and the diversity of financing also has a certain proportion.

Liang Junche's voice was still weak. "So, I'm not the only one?"

Gou Dai: What's the matter with this heartbroken feeling?

In the end, Gou Dai and He Mingzhan reached a consensus that the other party will invest in the form of assets and sign a formal contract after the festival.

Gou Dai: "Don't worry, if there is an accident in the project later, I will return the rent during this period to you at the market price."

He Mingzhan didn't care about this small amount of money, but he was still very interested: "This is the first time I heard that if you lose money on an investment, you can return the return with guaranteed capital. There is such a good thing in the world? No, Xiao Liang's investment is also based on this The model was signed, right? That’s a sure-fire business. No wonder Xiao Liang keeps pestering Boss Gou.”

These words are full of irony and provocation.

In the end, it was Gou Dai who calmed down the turmoil.

"Thank you to the two investors. For our future cooperation, I will be the host tonight, and everyone will have a drink."

North City Hotel.

When Liang Junche walked into the bathroom, He Mingzhan was facing the mirror, playing with his bangs on his forehead.

"Don't get his idea." Liang Junche warned in a low voice.

The sound is accompanied by the rushing water, like a dormant shark, ready to bloodthirsty the ocean at any time.

He Mingzhan smiled like a stealing cat: "I said that your motives are not pure, sure enough. This dog is good-looking and powerful, and he gets both money and money, which is really exciting."

Liang Junche tilted his head, his eyes looked like a sword that had been dusty for many years, ready to move, once it was unsheathed, blood would flow like a river.

He Mingzhan couldn't help trembling, and put away his cynical smile.

"Just kidding, why are you so serious."

He Mingzhan adjusted his bangs for the last time, and said, "Don't worry, not every man with a male sexual orientation will be interested in a good-looking man."

He Mingzhan paused, and then said to himself: "Oh, but Gou Dai is not only good-looking, but also smart, kind, understanding, gentle and considerate..."

Before Liang Junche's eye knife materialized, He Mingzhan ended this "Ode to Gou Dai".

"However, although he is good in every way, he is really not my sniper. I am very lazy, and I also treat feelings. Gou Dai is the type who is incomprehensible and attracts bees and butterflies. The challenge is too high , but it can be seen from a distance and cannot be played with, anyway, I am too lazy to try."

After all, He Mingzhan patted Liang Junche on the shoulder: "There is a long way to go, Liang Junche."
