Chapter five hundred and thirteenth unprofitable shop
Liu Lanshan opened a tea shop. The exterior decoration was very elegant and the door was very classy and simple with the words "Lanshan Famous Drink".
Downstairs, there are a hundred square meters of various teas and wines. One area is a tea display area, as well as cordyceps and some health products.
Another area is a wall of wine cabinets with red wine, white wine and beer. There is no other white wine except Moutai Wuliangye. There are many varieties of red wine, and the price is not less than 1,000. Beer is very rare on the market. The beers you see include Moutai beer, Wuliangye beer, etc.
They are all the kind of puree wine that can only be purchased with a small iron. This type of beer is basically not sold in supermarkets.
The cigarette area contains cigarettes in gift boxes, not cigarettes sold individually. It is a gift box, such as Huazi's and 95 Supreme. A gift box contains a variety of cigarettes, such as 95, thick and thick. The thin ones also include cigars.
There are also two tea seats in the store for tea tasting, and a Western dining table for wine tasting.
There is nothing else on the 100-square-meter first floor. It looks spacious and well-decorated, but there are no people there.
There are two beauties wearing cheongsam in the store. They look like beauties at first glance, and they have great figures and looks. They are mainly responsible for introducing and explaining famous drinks.
The shop is clean and even gives people a feeling that business is cold.
Because this store has no intention of making money at all. In the Jia District of Shanghai, it used to be called the suburbs, and later it was called the Xincheng. Once the name changed, the housing prices skyrocketed. But the Jia District is indeed a suburb in Shanghai, but it is closely related to Suzhou Cangshi. Very close.
Although it is a suburb of Shanghai, housing prices are not low, especially near the downtown area. The annual rent for the house Liu Lanshan rents is more than 300,000 yuan. His shop has two floors, and the second floor is nearly 200 square meters.
It was said before that the reason why there is no profit here is that Liu Lanshan has no intention of opening a business here. This area is considered a serious suburb of Shanghai. Even ten years later, the house price here will still be more than 20,000 yuan per square meter. Of course, according to The area is also a Jia District. There are houses with an area of more than 20,000 square meters and houses with an area of more than 60,000 square meters.
Just like many people like to show off to outsiders that they have bought a house in the imperial capital of Shanghai, saying that they are from the imperial capital of Shanghai. When they go out, they hold their heads high. If they are asked by a local house where they are from, they will be instantly discouraged. Generally speaking, it is normal for many people outside the fifth ring road of the imperial capital who have never been to the third ring road. This is what people often say is that a step away makes a world of difference. In the imperial capital and Shanghai, anything that does not have a residential area of more than 100,000 square meters per square meter is considered a suburb. , not even counting people from Shencheng and Imperial Capital, this chain of contempt has always existed.
This is Liu Lanshan’s birthplace and current base camp. It is close to Cang City, and Cang City in Suzhou City is a well-known industrial park in the country. It requires a lot of logistics, and Jia District can also be regarded as a logistics transfer station. His Logistics companies used to transport vegetables and now mainly help factories pull goods.
The advantage is that the order volume is stable. A factory or a medium-sized enterprise may have three to five million logistics orders a year, and larger ones may have tens of millions of logistics orders. However, there are also disadvantages that ordinary people cannot handle, and that is the checkout cycle. For quick monthly settlements, most are settled every quarter, and some are even delayed until half a year.
You need to advance the initial payment yourself. Liu Lanshan’s network is all in this area. This famous drink shop is just a cover. It is mainly on the second floor. There are two private rooms on the second floor, which are not open to the public. Each private room is about 40 square meters. It's a private room with a table for twenty people.
The decoration is even better than the one on the ground floor. It is a pure Chinese palace decoration. The decoration cost for a private room was more than 200,000 yuan, and the decoration cost for the second floor was more than 900,000 yuan.
In addition to the dining room, there are two tea rooms. One of the tea rooms is also an office. It is used to invite people to eat and drink tea. It is a convenient place to eat. In many places, it is inconvenient for some people to go to eat. Liu Lanshan is the place.
Make it easier for people who have difficulty eating.
It’s a bit convoluted, but that’s what it is, and there is a back door, which can be entered and exited through two doors. The chefs here were hired from big hotels, and two chefs were hired at one time. With two chefs, the company earned four in one month.
All meals and accommodations are included, these two chefs have their own specialties, and in addition to Chinese food, they also know Western food and Japanese food.
After eating and drinking enough, I am drinking tea. When I leave, I will take some tea, wine, and tobacco from downstairs for others to take away.
Liu Lanshan's store basically has meals every day, and it is these meals that help Liu Lanshan's business continue to grow.
Now you understand, the top is for people to eat and drink, and the bottom is the gift area. It is not open to the public at all.
It is mainly opened here for the convenience of eating. The food delivery people are all beauties wearing cheongsam.
Outsiders don't know that there is a restaurant on the second floor, which is no less than a restaurant in a five-star hotel. In addition to this shop, Liu Lanshan also opened a business club, mainly for singing and bathing.
In recent years, he has opened an ecological park, which specializes in raising poultry and planting fruit trees. The place is not big, but it focuses on the original ecology. For example, the chickens, ducks, and fish they raise are all free-range and do not feed any feed. There are also cattle and sheep.
keep.
During the New Year and festivals, cattle and sheep are slaughtered and given away, and fruits and vegetables are regularly packaged and given away. The main thing is to eat healthy and fresh.
It can be seen that Liu Lanshan is very good at relationships, and he attaches great importance to relationships.
The cost of communication even exceeds half of his annual income. His philosophy is that the more I spend, the more I will get in the future, so I cannot save this money.
His network of relationships grew bigger and bigger, and he met Gao Tianyuan during a social interaction. Gao Tianyuan first wanted to make him a shareholder, but he didn't agree.
Finally, Gao Tianyuan needed capital turnover, so he found a guarantee from Mr. Liu, who had the same surname as him. Liu Lanshan borrowed more than 30 million in cash, which was real money, and gave it to Gao Tianyuan, agreeing that the monthly interest would be 1 million. At first, Gao Tianyuan said that he would use 5 million yuan in cash.
It will definitely be paid back in a month.
It was a short-term loan, but something went wrong after the loan was completed. Gao Tianyuan did pay the interest for the first four months when it was due, and he passed away in the fifth month. This made Liu Lanshan crazy. He seemed to have a big family and a big business.
, in fact, he does not have much cash flow. If this is interrupted, he will be even worse.
Because after he lent his own money to Gao Tianyuan, he borrowed another 68 million from the bank at a low interest rate, and used the interest Gao Tianyuan gave him to repay the bank, which was basically free.
This loan is used to expand the company.
He invested all 68 million in logistics expansion. He acquired several nearby logistics stations, opened some logistics stations in other places, and purchased 50 large trucks, each of which cost more than 500,000 yuan.
He wanted to expand the scale. After all, he couldn't keep making small fuss like this. Now it was over. He had forced himself to a dead end. Gao Tianyuan's money would not be returned to him, and the interest would be gone.
And he has to repay bank interest, 60 to 8 million in interest, and he also has to give credit to various factories. He has to advance capital, fuel expenses, and driver labor costs. A driver's salary exceeds 10,000 yuan a month.
With a total of more than 80 drivers under his command, plus the huge gas bill every day when a car is in motion, these expenditures instantly doubled Liu Lanshan's pressure and made him feel out of breath.
So he is more anxious than anyone else. Unlike President Liu of the bank, he can wait. There is also Mr. Hu, the real estate developer, who also has a family. Liu Lanshan has no family. He has worked hard all by himself.
This moment was going to kill him, until Zhao Mingyang appeared, he saw hope, and Zhao Mingyang actually gave him some money, including the money that Zhongqin's group lost to Zhao Mingyang, and Zhao Mingyang's money from Ma Yuanyuan
Some of the money I got there helped Qiu Shuhong pay off her debts.
"Brother Mingyang, you look so handsome in this outfit!" Liu Lanshan stood in front of the store and saw Zhao Mingyang getting out of Qiu Shuhong's car in a white suit, and stepped forward to greet him.
