Echoes from Tomorrow: A Rebirth Saga Novel Chapter 188

On the second floor of the coffee shop, Xu Shao remained calm as he listened to the prices quoted by Zachary Cheng.

The current profit status of this claw machine store is around 300,000 yuan a month.

Due to the special nature of its store, it can actually continue to operate even during the Chinese New Year.

After all, given the nature of this kind of store, students are also one of the mainstream customer groups, so business may not be bad during the winter vacation.

So, if we can maintain this momentum, we will make a profit of more than 3 million yuan in twelve months a year.

It’s now 2014, and the term internet celebrity store has just been coined. Everyone’s understanding of this type of store is still very different from a few years later.

Many people even regard it as an ordinary physical store that became popular through the Internet, thinking that the business can be stable.

This is one of the reasons why in the past two or three years, many shop owners who have opened online celebrity stores have finally made a fortune when selling their stores.

Such examples abound in reality.

This is why Zachary Cheng has the confidence to not worry about others taking over the deal at a high price.

This is the situation in the past few years!

Internet celebrity stores are valuable and don’t have to worry about selling!

The capital market is optimistic about Internet celebrity stores.

This has even become a breakthrough for physical stores and a new trend.

Xu Shao comes from a good family. He has opened an Internet cafe outside the school and has experience in operating a physical store.

But the problem lies here instead.

The favorable family conditions will make many people not take small money seriously, and think that if they want to open up the world, they must take a long-term view and think big.

Therefore, he suddenly thought of opening a branch and going to the [venture capital circle] to raise funds.

Another point is that Xu Shao has Zhang Qiqi next to him.

This Internet celebrity school beauty is very familiar with all the Internet celebrity stores in Hangzhou. She has checked in most of them and occasionally chats with Xu Shao about them.

But most of the stores she picked up and talked about were very successful stores.

Some may have raised tens of millions or even hundreds of millions in financing.

But despite this, Xu Qiaozui still felt that 6 million was too high.

"Why is your psychological price point 6 million?" He didn't counteroffer, but chose to ask this first.

"First of all, for a well-run store, do you think the transfer fee will only be a year's income?" Zachary Cheng still crossed his legs and said with a sullen face.

This is just the negotiation mode he chose.

Xu Shao was testing him, so why wasn't he testing Xu Shao?

"First of all, you are wrong." Xu Shao frowned.

"Oh?" Zachary Cheng became a little interested in Xu Qiaozui's opinion.

"I don't think your store can continue to be popular for several years." Xu Shao looked at him with a meaningful and calm look.

"Well, it seems you're not very optimistic about it? Then why are you here to talk about buying a store?" Zachary Cheng said.

Xu Shao did not reply directly, but after thinking for a while, he spoke: "I think the mystery industry is a waste of money. I have invested in a small video game city that failed, so I know it well." Year, I think a store like yours will only be popular for one year if it can't survive!"

Zachary Cheng felt happy.

You mean one year?

Okay, okay, that's okay.

Thank you for thinking so highly of my store.

"So, you are rushing to open a branch? Or, in other words, you want to build the brand and then raise several rounds of financing?" Zachary Cheng looked at him and said directly.

Xu Shao was drinking coffee calmly, thinking about how to continue the conversation.

But he never expected that Cheng Yi would guess his thoughts right away and tell him in such a direct way so quickly.

"I have this idea, but even if I want to open a branch next time, I still have to pay for it myself and continue to invest. It has little to do with this store. All it can reflect is its brand value. , and fame on the Internet." Xu Shao said.

"Isn't this enough?" Zachary Cheng put down his coffee cup and leaned back on the chair again.

Xu Shao frowned: "Let me just tell you what I think in my heart."

"I personally think your store will be popular for a year. I mean from the time it opens. In other words, after I take over, it will be around 10 months."

"So, that's about 3 million."

"And it's only 3 million, but the actual situation will probably be lower."

"I don't think the things you are talking about are worth the remaining three million."

Xu Shao's psychological price range is more than four million, and five million is the limit.

He knew very well that if he spent all this money, he would never be able to earn it back just by relying on the [Youlaiwan] store outside the Polytechnic University.

Is it like spending money to buy an opportunity?

An opportunity to make the Internet celebrity claw machine store bigger and stronger and leapfrog the dragon's door!

There is no way, this store is doing really well now, everything is so good.

The foundation is perfect!

This made Xu Shao feel like a peach picker.

If young Zachary Cheng had my knowledge, structure, and ideas, how could he just limit it to this?

"Then give us a price." Zachary Cheng said, "Let's not go around in circles to test each other."

His words actually have no effect, because the price offered by the other party must be lower first, and then negotiate slowly.

But this kind of thing has to be said.

Usually, similar words appear repeatedly, and then everyone changes the price repeatedly.

They are all shouting to be more direct, and they are all saying that we will not talk in circles, but it is really weird if we really do this.

"Four million." Xu Shao said directly.

"It's too low, this price is impossible." Zachary Cheng said.

It's obvious that we can't reach an agreement today. To be precise, there's no rush.

Of course, it was impossible for Zachary Cheng to hang himself on a tree like Xu Qiaozui.

The two added each other on WeChat, saying that they would consider it again.

Xu Shao also wanted to see if anyone else would quote a higher price to Zachary Cheng.

After leaving the coffee shop, Zachary Cheng drove to Insist on Visiting's studio.

After arriving at the place, he assigned tasks to the employees and then sat in front of his computer.

He opened Xu Shao's circle of friends and looked at it, trying to learn more about Zhang Qiqi's pouty lips.

Zachary Cheng could feel that Xu Shao's willingness to buy [You Lai Wan] was actually quite strong.

And it can't be said that his ideas are completely wrong.

"Whether you open your own branch or find ways to raise financing, it is actually the right way to go."

"It's just that it's not that easy in practice."

In other words, Zachary Cheng himself felt that the so-called internet celebrity claw machine store was not a very good project.

Why did he sell this store and then start an internet celebrity milk tea shop?

This is because the popularity period of Internet celebrity milk tea shops is much longer than that of doll machine shops.

After all, milk tea is something that everyone drinks on a daily basis. The claw machine shop is an entertainment venue with a different nature.

"The length of this hot period is really important." Zachary Cheng knew this very well.

Once a milk tea shop like this is really up and running, it will definitely be popular for two years.

But the claw machine store is different. It can only be popular for a few months.

Look, if I really open a branch now, for example, if I go to the city of Shanghai and open another one, will it be popular?

It will definitely be popular.

But after a few months, it became cold again.

Then, I went to other big cities to drive. After a few months of driving, it became cold again.

This cycle seems to happen several times. Not only does the brand value become lower, the difficulty of marketing on the Internet will also instantly become greater, and its influencer attributes will instantly decline.

The so-called Internet celebrity stores allow customers to follow the trend and come to make purchases.

Just give the simplest example and start from one of the reasons.

For example, I am now going to open a branch in Shanghai. As soon as the Shanghai branch opened, it was reported on the Internet that the store at the University of Science and Technology in Hangzhou is no longer as popular as it used to be, and there are only a few stores.

Will this make network operations more difficult?

This will also lead to a shorter life cycle of subsequent branches, and the popularity period can be shortened.

A vicious cycle is inevitable.

It is true that if a store becomes popular in a big city and becomes an Internet celebrity store, it can actually expand to smaller cities later.

Things will be better in smaller cities and they may not necessarily be affected by these effects.

However, here comes the problem.

"What big cities compete for is the speed of innovation, the quality of creativity, marketing level, etc."

"Small cities strive for efficiency by following the trend!"

"If you are more forward-looking in business in small cities, you can accurately capture the trend of big cities, and then immediately follow the trend, there is no guarantee that you will be able to follow the trend and make a fortune instantly!"

"This kind of claw machine shop is easy to copy, and the threshold is too low. As long as you know how to copy and have money in your pocket, not everyone can open one."

"You say you want to copy a restaurant, then at least you have to make the food. The threshold for plagiarism in a hot pot restaurant will be lower, but you still have to compete on taste and service."

"The claw machine store is just a bunch of fucking claw machines."

However, if the popularity period of an Internet celebrity store is two or three years, it is completely different.

During this time, many, many things can be done, and the business territory can expand to a terrifying extent!

For Zachary Cheng, he feels that the Internet celebrity milk tea shop is more exciting than the Internet celebrity claw machine shop.

This is why my little Princess Youzi has two aspirations for stores. She first chose to open a claw machine store to accumulate funds and practice her skills, and then started to engage in milk tea.

"But if you want to say that I am really just trying to trick these pick-up guys, then I don't think so."

"[Youlaiwan] This store is indeed worth the price. It is true that the follow-up is not a complete failure, but the success is not that big."

"It just depends on personal ability and subsequent management."

"If I were operating it, I would definitely not lose money, and at least I could make several million more."



But here comes the problem.

--"I am me!"

I am a reborn person, and I was a reborn person with assets worth over 100 million before my rebirth.

Handsome guy, I am not an ordinary person.

If Xu Qiaozui really takes over in the end, whether he can continue to become bigger and stronger really depends on his own level and, of course, luck.

As soon as he thought about it, he suddenly thought about what was interesting about Xu Shao's circle of friends. I added him as a friend, so I should check out Zhang Qiqi's circle of friends to see how he interacted with this little green tea. It must be very interesting. !

Zachary Cheng suddenly became energetic and interested.

He opened Zhang Qiqi's Moments and took a look. Sure enough, he liked every post and actively left messages. However, Zhang Qiqi almost never replied and would simply ignore them.

"Wait a minute! Zhang Qiqi sent You Lai Wan to Moments." Cheng Yi suddenly thought of this matter.

Then he started to scroll down.

Sure enough, Xu Shao still liked it.

"Maybe when he clicked this like, he was a little touched by himself?" Zachary Cheng thought to himself.

The meanest thing in relationships is this kind of self-impression!

Zhang Qiqi pinched him, and I pinched Zhang Qiqi again, alas.

"If he really buys this store in the end, I'll give him a free tip when the time comes." Zachary Cheng thought to himself.

It has to be that we men feel sorry for men.

But whether he can listen to it or not is his own business.

But before that, I definitely want to ensure that my own interests are maximized.

So, he picked up his mobile phone, rarely took the initiative to chat with Xiao Green Tea, and sent a WeChat message: "Xu Shao came to me to buy a store."
