In the morning, Li Mu came to the coffee shop and walked around. Since using a small popularity aggregator, the popularity of the coffee shop has been maintained well. In the past two days, the store has hired two new people, a salesperson and a waiter.
The manpower shortage problem has finally been resolved.
Half lying on the crescent-shaped fabric sofa, Li Mu was sipping coffee and reading the book in his hand, relaxed and leisurely.
He was relaxed and at ease here, but the investment consulting company he entrusted was progressing very quickly. News came in the afternoon that the bar investors agreed to sell, and the sports club also had intentions to sell.
However, the investors on both sides are still very reserved on the surface, probably trying to get a good acquisition offer.
Li Mu also understood this.
During this time, through this consulting and investment company, he gained an in-depth understanding of these two stores.
Let’s talk about this music bar first. It just opened six months ago with an investment of 30 million and covers an area of more than 2,200 square meters. In terms of hardware and decoration, it is a top music bar in Shangzhou.
However, it has been half a year since its opening, and its performance has been dismal and its popularity has been very low. It is a huge loss.
Bar investors see that their business has been stagnant, and the monthly rent costs, operating costs, and staff salaries are another huge expense.
Since its opening, not only has it not made a profit, but it has actually lost several million. I was disheartened and had to consider taking action.
However, the circle of high-end bars is not large. The popularity here is deserted and the business is bleak. Everyone knows who dares to jump into this pit.
I want to make a move, but I can't find a home.
But if you put it in your hands, the monthly rent, staff wages, and operating costs are not a small amount. You need to take money from your pocket to fill it in. How can you be willing to do it knowing that you will lose money.
For this reason, we can only cut the flesh with tears. The transfer price of the bar has dropped again and again. The total investment is 30 million. The current transfer price has been broken and has dropped to 8 million.
But even if it dropped to 8 million, not many people would be interested in this bar, which has been losing popularity and losing money.
There are also people who want to pick up the slack, but taking over such a losing money bar is too risky, and the price of 8 million is still too high for people to take a chance.
Perhaps, with another discount, down to four to five million, many people will be interested. After all, it is a music bar with top-notch hardware and decoration, and the staffing is ready. For some bold investors
, it’s worth the risk.
This kind of thing is a risk for others, but it is an advantage for Li Mu.
He also has nine small popularity aggregators in his hand that were awarded in the previous world. (Function: It can gather popularity and bring a deserted shop to a normal level of popularity. Depending on the size and type of the shop, it will be decided how many are needed to restore normal popularity.
Small popularity aggregator.)
After testing, this top music bar only needs four small popularity aggregators to restore its normal popularity level.
With the size and class of this music bar, as long as it reaches a normal level of popularity, it can easily earn tens or even millions a month, which can be as little as 10 million a year.
If the acquisition is completed, the capital will be repaid in more than half a year, and there will be a steady stream of profits in the future. Where can I find such good things?
Of course, no one else has the small popularity aggregator Li Mu has.
Li Mu is determined to win this bar, and I believe no one is willing to take the risk of offering a high price to compete with him.
The other sports club is larger, covering an area of 5,800 square meters, with three floors, and a total investment of 70 million.
In addition to traditional fitness programs, indoor swimming pools, yoga studios, archery halls, fencing halls, bowling alleys... are also standard features.
We have also set up professional martial arts gyms and mixed martial arts gyms, which have invited many masters to cater to customers who like traditional martial arts and modern fighting.
With such a high amount of investment, hardware facilities, and first-class staffing, it is said that they want to build it into a top indoor sports and leisure venue in the commercial capital.
Unfortunately, I don't know whether the target positioning is wrong or the city's high-end sports market has insufficient target customers. Just like the bar, the investment is large enough, the decoration and hardware are luxurious enough, and the popularity has been slim since its opening.
For such a big place and a good location, plus nearly a hundred staff coaches, the cost of rent, operating costs, and wages are also a big expense.
More than half a year after opening, not only did it not make any money, but it actually suffered a lot of losses. The investment of 70 million was also lost.
The investors of the sports club had been holding on for more than half a year, but seeing no improvement, they finally couldn't hold on any longer and announced that they planned to find someone to take over.
However, like high-end bars, the circle of high-end indoor sports halls is also small. Everyone knows that this place is not good and its popularity is low. From the opening to the present, no one is willing to take over.
Therefore, the transfer price could only be lowered again and again, from 50 million at the beginning, to 30 million, then to 20 million, and recently I heard that it was reduced to 17 million, but still no one took over.
Don't think that 17 million is a big bargain. Li Mu might have thought so in the past. After his experience in the world of Ode to Joy and the information he commissioned to investigate from an investment consulting company, he knew that there was still a big hole in this sports club.
Sports clubs are different from bars. You can apply for cards, including annual cards, monthly cards, quarterly cards, and various levels of VIP membership cards. These are all pre-payments.
After Li Mu took over the sports club, these cards must be recognized in terms of reputation, customer development, and customer retention.
Then a question arises. He has not received the money to open the card, but he has to provide services to these customers for free. Is this a trap?
In addition, many customers have recharged money when opening their cards. After acquiring this sports club, the money recharged will definitely not be left in their accounts. Either it will be spent, or it will be transferred away by investors. He needs to fill these gaps.
Fill.
This is also a pit.
According to the detailed information provided by the consulting company, the various unexpired annual cards and membership cards of this sports club, plus the remaining recharge amount on the cards, translate into a cash gap of tens of millions.
These are not reflected in the accounts. Whoever takes over will be responsible for these cards and the recharge amount, provide free services to old customers, and pay for their consumption.
Therefore, the acquisition of this sports club is not only the acquisition funds on the surface, but also equivalent to taking over the club's tens of millions of intangible debts.
Calculated in this way, the price of 17 million offered by the investors of the sports club is really not cheap. Not only does it require a real purchase price of 17 million, but it also has to bear tens of millions of intangible debts.
In addition, since the club opened, its popularity has been sluggish and it has been losing money. There are really not many people who are willing to take over and be taken advantage of.
At this point, this sports club has no other option but to close its doors or change hands.
Li Mu is determined to be the white horse knight, but he is not a philanthropist. Seventeen million is definitely not enough. If he can lower the price, he must lower the price severely.
