Born Again: A Journey of Love Rediscovered Novel Chapter 18
In midsummer, the weather is extremely hot.
It feels as if God has covered Jeju City with an invisible steamer. Even if you don't do anything, you can still sweat all over just standing.
At that time, a tanned John Qin stood at the door of the traffic police brigade, put away his newly obtained driver's license, then took a taxi to the bank and withdrew 270,000 in cash.
This was something he had decided long ago.
He wants to use this money to try out the depths of each industry to determine his entrepreneurial direction and avoid taking too many detours.
To be honest, 270,000 yuan can be spent for a long time, but it is not enough for business.
Therefore, John Qin does not do it to make money, but basically just to play, to listen to insider information from people in the industry, and to maintain his enthusiasm for entrepreneurship.
On July 21, John Qin found the mother of his classmate Huang Ying and purchased a batch of face-slimming injections and hyaluronic acid from abroad.
The price of the product is 150 per shot, and when it is transferred to the beauty salon, the price is 899 per shot.
Although the beauty industry was not so popular in 2008, you can tell by looking at the prosperity of medical beauty in later generations. This is definitely a hugely profitable industry. As long as women love beauty, this industry will always be a rising sun.
On July 22, he was browsing the financial news and suddenly saw that Nongfu Spring was about to be upgraded. A reward of 300,000 yuan was offered to collect advertising words from all over the country. John Qin opened his mailbox and wrote, "We do not produce water, we are just porters of nature." " and left his mobile phone number.
The next day, a strange phone call came.
The other party claimed that he was the manager of the Nongfu Spring Publicity Department. He first thanked him and then asked for his card number.
When the payment information was sent to his mobile phone, John Qin suddenly felt like he had picked up money and felt that he was so happy to be reborn.
On July 24, John Qin invested in the mutton soup shop owned by his classmate Yang Shuan, accounting for 30% of the shares.
According to his memory, Yang Shuan's father's craftsmanship was the best in Jeju. Five years later, a branch had opened in the next city. It was a business that was sure to make money without losing money.
John Qin was not very interested in investing in shops, but he wanted to secretly learn the secret recipe, and finally found a pack of Sanhua evaporated milk in the cabinet.
On July 29, the driving school instructor said that he was distributing a kind of medicine and had a profit of 1:10. He heard that John Qin had money and wanted to get him to work with him.
John Qin was very interested, but he was still wary of the business that came to his door, so he went to investigate in private. He found that the wife of the driving school instructor was engaging in pyramid schemes, so he decisively reported it.
On August 6, when the Olympic Games were about to open, John Qin hired ten people in the labor market to sell national flags and Fuwa dolls along the street.
In the end, all the money he earned was paid into his salary, and he even paid a thousand and five dollars into it. However, John Qin felt very happy when he saw the red color floating all over the street.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
John Qin felt that he had gained a lot.
The medical beauty industry is indeed hugely profitable, but there are too many advances and the cost is relatively high. The catering industry is stable and makes profits quickly, but you must be unscrupulous, otherwise the probability of losing money is very high.
In addition, labor costs must be considered.
At the beginning of starting a business, you must think about how to make customers pay for labor costs instead of bearing the cost risks yourself.
For example, when selling a national flag, the purchase cost of 50 cents is three yuan, and the final payment is paid when wages are paid.
The most important point is that you must not believe in business opportunities that come to your doorstep, otherwise you may be involved in unimaginable difficulties.
John Qin felt that he really liked doing business, and it was fun even if he lost money.
Why the hell didn’t I think about doing business in my last life?
At the same time, in the second class of high school, the graduates who had just received the admission notice were also agitated.
Their restlessness is different from John Qin's. John Qin's restlessness is due to his expectations for business, while theirs is purely due to emptiness.
"Everyone, the admission notice has come out. Do you want to go out and play together?"
"I think it's okay. The summer vacation is too long and staying at home is so boring. I've long wanted to find someone to hang out with."
"Is there any fun place? We can go there as a group!"
"I heard that there is a bar opposite the fire station where a group of people gather together to drink while watching the Olympics. Let's go and experience it too?"
As the chat content increases, more and more students begin to participate in the group chat.
To be honest, the vacation after the college entrance examination lasts for three months, and just staying at home is really boring, so many people have the desire to go out and play.
In the past, I didn't dare to study because I was overwhelmed by the college entrance examination. Now that I have time, it doesn't matter if I indulge in youth.
Chu Siqi: "I'm a little upset too. If I go out to play, count me in."
Qin Ziang: "Siqi is going too? Then I'll go too."
Yu Shasha: "I'll go too. I'll go too. I haven't been to the bar yet. When should we go?"
"Come on, we went there a few days ago, but we couldn't get a reservation. We need to book in advance."
"Yes, that bar is very popular now. It's full every day. I heard that you can't get a seat even if you spend money. How can we, a bunch of poor students, compete with those adults for seats?"
Guo Zihang: "Are you talking about the luminous bar?"
Qin Ziang: "Why, you also know?"
Guo Zihang: "Actually, you can make a reservation with John Qin."
Guo Zihang's sudden words made the whole group confused.
What does it mean to make a reservation with John Qin? No one can get a reservation, so John Qin can get one? Does he have a backdoor?
Qin Ziang: "Haha, John Qin? He doesn't sell lunch boxes, but works as a bartender in a bar?"
Yu Shasha: "Is this guy crazy about money? How poor is his family? Why does he do everything?"
Guo Zihang: "He is not a bartender. He spent money to rent half of the bar. Watching the Olympics together was an activity he initiated. But later it became so popular that the bar owner gave him the entire bar to run."
Chu Siqi: "How much does it cost to rent half a bar?"
Guo Zihang: "The venue and drinks seemed to have cost about 300,000 yuan."
Yu Shasha: "Are you kidding me? How could he have 300,000? I know you are good friends, but there must be a limit to bragging."
Guo Zihang: "What are you bragging about? I watched the opening ceremony at the Night Light Bar yesterday, and I didn't spend any money."
Huang Ying: "Guo Zihang is really not bragging. John Qin and my mother partnered up to purchase a batch of beauty injections worth 500,000 yuan a few days ago. He paid 100,000 yuan."
Yang Shuan: "My mutton soup restaurant has opened a branch. It's okay if you can't go to the bar. You can come to my mutton soup restaurant to drink soup!"
Chu Siqi: "Let's talk about business, how do you advertise?"
Yang Shuan: "John Qin also invested in the second store of my Yangtang Restaurant. I don't know how much it costs, but it must be more than 100,000. I have to call him uncle now."
Guo Zihang: "Why did you call him uncle?"
Yang Shuan: "On the day the contract was signed, John Qin and my father drank too much. Both of them were confused and had to do something. No one could persuade them."
