In the next few days, the news that "Bai Qi" had his left hand chopped off by us also spread vaguely on the road.
Bai Qi has been in the hospital for the past two days, relatively calm, and has no intention of organizing people to seek revenge on me. There is no movement from Xiao Kai, as if the chopped Bai Qi is not his younger brother at all. His attitude makes me temporarily Somewhat elusive.
Of course, I've been on the road for a while, so I won't let my guard down just because it seems calm on the surface.
As for Shen Wen who returned to Xingzhou, he seemed to have disappeared from the world. There was no news about him at all. I even suspected that Shen Wen just came back that day and then left.
More than a week passed in the blink of an eye.
Today happens to be the weekend, so I am going to take Lu Xiaoyu home to stay for another day. The two of us haven’t been alone together for a long time.
Recently, the school and social situation in the Southeast School District have been relatively stable, so I was able to relax for two days.
After packing up my things early in the morning, I went to pick her up from downstairs of Lu Xiaoyu's dormitory. She was dressed very plainly today, in a white casual sportswear, with her hair in a ponytail and a wide hairpin. She looked beautiful. And energetic!
So I stayed for a while. This was the first time I saw Lu Xiaoyu dressed like this.
When Lu Xiaoyu walked out of the dormitory, she directly took my arm and said, "Okay, don't look at it. I'm thinking about going climbing when I get to your place today. I've gained weight recently and I need to exercise to lose weight!"
I really don’t understand what girls think. If you are fat, you can lose weight, but if you are thin, you can lose weight...
We are going home today and we called my mother yesterday, so she will still drive to pick me up today.
After Lu Xiaoyu and I arrived at the school gate and waited for a short while, my mother drove over. But besides my mother, there was also a woman sitting in the car - Zhang Jingwan.
After the car stopped, I pulled Lu Xiaoyu into the car.
After a brief greeting, Zhang Jingwan began to tease me: "Kid Yifeng, is that your little girlfriend next to you?"
In front of my mother, I did not contradict Zhang Jingwan directly, but said to Lu Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, this is the strange aunt I told you about, Zhang Jingwan, Aunt Zhang!"
As soon as I introduced her like this, Zhang Jingwan's eyes became confused. Lu Xiaoyu also noticed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere between Zhang Jingwan and me, so she didn't speak rashly!
The car hadn't started yet, so my mother turned around, tapped me on the head and said with a smile, "Xiao Feng, how many times have I told you, that's your Sister Zhang."
I scratched my head and said with a smile: "Mom, she calls you 'Sister Qin', right? If I call her sister, then I don't have to call you sister too. Wouldn't this generational hierarchy be messed up, so I'll still call her her." Auntie’s good.”
The mother smiled and said: "Then you can call me sister, I still look younger..."
After my mother intervened, Zhang Jingwan did not quarrel with me.
After the car started, Zhang Jingwan handed me a thick stack of A4 paper and said: "Take a look, these are the general preparations and things you need to pay attention to when building a nightclub. As for the details, I will show them to you slowly when you get home. , you can ask me if you don’t understand anything.”
I took a look at this stack of paper, and it was at least fifty or sixty pages long. According to what Zhang Jingwan said, this is just an overview, so after reading the so-called details, I won’t get the "Year of the Donkey" anymore.
I took those pieces of paper and looked through them roughly. In addition to the text, there were also a lot of numerical calculations and analysis, and some places were marked with icons. But I couldn't understand all of these things, so I just
Some are blinded.
I browsed for a while and found a few questions that interested me. First of all, this "report" (let's call it a report) mentioned a site selection issue. According to my opinion, I naturally
I want to open a nightclub on Shengchang Street. After all, it is one of the famous red light districts in Xingzhou. However, the location selected in this report is not on Shengchang Street, but on the pedestrian street, which is where we went a few days ago.
The street where Fulou is located.
Most of this pedestrian street is filled with antique shops and smells like books. Wouldn’t it be a bit out of place for us to go there for entertainment?
So I asked Zhang Jingwan why she didn’t choose Shengchang Street.
Zhang Jingwan smiled and said: "Don't you know how to read it yourself? There will be explanations later!"
I got a headache just looking at those densely packed small characters, so I said to Zhang Jingwan: "I'm too slow to read it myself, so you should tell me."
Zhang Jingwan smiled and said: "In the past few days, I accompanied Sister Qin to turn aside Shengchang Street. Because it is an old city, most of them are small one-story bungalows, or at most two or three-story buildings.
Moreover, the layout of those buildings is too old and is not suitable for conversion into nightclubs.
This kind of trendy entertainment venue; secondly, the area of those places is not big enough. If the scale is reduced, it will not be called a nightclub. At most, it will be a second- or third-rate small karaoke bar or small bathhouse. If you are planning to open those, then I
There is no need to stay here anymore.”
What Zhang Jingwan said made sense, but I still refused to admit that my point of view was wrong in front of her, so I said, "What about we get some land and build our own?"
Zhang Jingwan looked at me with an idiotic expression and said: "If you plan to start business in a year or two, you can give it a try. Let's not talk about how many procedures you need to go through to get a piece of land. Just building a house is enough.
It will take a long time, plus the subsequent decoration, recruitment and training of personnel, one or two years will be considered fast.”
One or two years is indeed a long time.
Zhang Jingwan continued: "It would be different if you choose a pedestrian street. The adjustment is a newly planned street in Xingzhou. The pedestrian street is also an antique street. Although the buildings there look antique, they are just facades, and the structure inside is basically
It can be no different from modern commercial buildings; if we put
If one of the buildings is rented and renovated, it will be more than enough to be used as a nightclub. In addition, there are many people in the antique business on Antique Street, Shengshi Antiques, which means that this street is for antiques.
This is where rich people do business! So it’s definitely a perfect place to build a nightclub here.”
Zhang Jingwan’s analysis is clear-cut, so I won’t say anything. I am indeed a layman in this regard.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Zhang Jingwan didn't mean to laugh at me, so she asked me, "Do you have any other questions?"
I nodded and scrolled down, it was about the amount of funds that needed to be prepared.
My head went crazy when I saw that number - three to five million!
I pointed at the set of numbers and said, "A Zhang..., uh, Sister Zhang, are you sure this number is correct?"
Zhang Jingwan nodded and said: "This is just a preliminary estimate. If it is implemented, we will at least prepare an additional 500,000 yuan."
I smiled and said, "Just tell me how much money I need to spend, and I'll tell you directly that the nightclub is closed. Where did I get that much money for you? Aren't you busy working blindly these days?"
I felt a sense of loss.
Zhang Jingwan said with a smile: "You know you don't know how to do business. Nowadays, when businessmen do business, how can they invest all their own money?"
I curiously asked: "If I don't pay for it myself, can I ask you to pay for me?"
"Idiot, don't you know that there is a way to get money called a loan?" Zhang Jingwan was a little helpless, because I am a novice in the business world, and she has begun to lose patience with me.
"But we don't have anything to mortgage!? And the amount of the loan required is not small. Are you sure we can get it?" I asked back.
Zhang Jingwan said: "I have discussed this with Sister Qin. Your battlefield, the mixing plant in Mazhen, and several other small factories can be used as collateral. If the application is approved, the loan amount will be
, which is definitely enough. If
If you really want to build a nightclub, I can help you with the loan. In a few days, I will call all the brothers and sisters from the "Qin Family Class" in the south, and we will follow Sister Qin.
Let’s build another business empire in Xingzhou.”
"Qin's class!?" I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, it sounded very bluffing.
Zhang Jingwan smiled and said: "Yes, they are Sister Qin's old team members in various businesses in the south. Some are proficient in public relations, some are proficient in law, some are proficient in planning, and some are proficient in running various government relations. In short, what do you want?
What talents are there!"
Mother interrupted Zhang Jingwan and said: "Okay, Jingwan, stop talking nonsense. Everyone is developing so well in the big cities in the south. Why do you follow me in a small place like Xingzhou? Even you, after helping Xiaofeng this time,
Don't stay in Xingzhou either. If you stay here, you will bury your talent."
Zhang Jingwan shook her head and said: "Sister Qin, actually I think it is more challenging to build a business empire in such a small place. I think it is burying my talents!"
Seeing that the topic had gone too far, Zhang Jingwan said again: "Sister Qin, don't worry, I have a sense of discretion in my affairs!"
After saying that, she turned to me and asked: "Yi Xiaofeng, please continue to take a look. Do you have any questions?"
Site selection and funding are currently the two biggest and most difficult problems. Now that Zhang Jingwan has proposed solutions, I can almost understand the remaining recruitment, training, approval and other matters, so I did not continue to ask about the "report"
on the problem.
I threw the "report" aside and said: "Last question, if we start implementing this plan now, how long will it take for my nightclub to open?"
Zhang Jingwan thought for a while and said: "If the approval goes smoothly, it will take one month, the loan will take one month, the decoration will take at least two months, and the purchase of equipment, recruitment, and training will take more than one month. If you calculate it like this, the approval and loan can be
If we go at the same time and wait for one month, it will take about five or six months! Of course, this is still in the optimal state. It will take a little more time in the middle, and the normal opening will be almost in May or June next year, which means we will probably need
About seven or eight months.”
It seems that it actually took a lot longer than I thought. I always thought that renting a place and opening the business in two months would be easy, but now it seems that is not the case.
Immediately, the enthusiasm in my heart decreased a lot. How should I put it, my heart was still too impetuous at that time.
