Chapter 130: Reverse Thinking
After closing the stall and closing the door, Wang Zhan took Hu Mingchen to take a three-wheeled motorcycle and went straight to Wang Zhan's friend on Renmin Road.
This is a chase room on the second floor of the roadside, and a row of neon lights about one meter wide is installed outside, Hu Mingchen and they are still about twenty meters away from the staircase on the second floor of the video hall, and they can clearly hear the crackling fighting sound from the two stereos hanging outside the wall.
Hearing this voice, you can know that a martial arts movie is playing in the video hall.
The current environmental protection law has not been seriously enforced, and noise pollution is not in the public's concern.
Those two speakers are the best advertising, and many people are tempted by the sound coming from the speakers, so they buy tickets to enter.
After Wang Zhan and Hu Mingchen got out of the car, at the staircase, Hu Mingchen saw the announcement of today's video, and now it is "Huang Feihong's Iron Fighting Centipede".
The little girl who sold tickets may have been greeted by the boss, but after Wang Zhan just said something to her, she put Wang Zhan and Hu Mingchen up.
went up to the end of the stairs, opened the heavy curtain, and Hu Mingchen followed Wang Zhan into the dark video hall.
After entering the inside, Hu Mingchen found that this was not a video hall, it should be said to be a laser hall, because what Hu Mingchen saw was not a TV, but a screen in front of him that was much smaller than a regular movie theater.
"Xiao Chen, come, here. Hu Mingchen was still observing the environment inside, but Wang Zhan beckoned to him not far away.
Hu Mingchen looked at the location where Wang Zhan transmitted the voice, and found that Wang Zhan was standing at the door of a small cubicle, and through that door, he saw a middle-aged man sitting on a chair inside.
Hu Mingchen gave up his temporary observation of the environment and walked over.
"Xuesheng, he is Xiao Chen, that is, he wants to engage in a video hall. The door of the compartment was closed, and the sound outside was somewhat isolated, so Wang Zhan introduced Hu Mingchen.
This small cubicle is very narrow, there are some playback equipment on a desk, there is a small window on the curtain wall to see the screen in front, in addition, there are only two chairs, seeing that there are only two chairs, Hu Mingchen simply stood at the door.
"He, Wang Zhan, you won't joke with me, right, he should still be a primary school student?" Hearing that it was Hu Mingchen who was going to open a video hall, Chen Xuesheng was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped.
In Chen Xuesheng's view, at an age like Hu Mingchen, he should play with glass beads with those children or pick birds and catch fish, how can he start a business, it is simply impossible.
Wang Zhan sat down without coming in, and Chen Xuesheng also stood up, and for a while, the three people in the cubicle were standing and talking.
"Xuesheng, don't underestimate it, Xiao Chen is not very old, but he is really good at business, he is also young, otherwise, you and I may be out of reach. He really looks like a video parlor, last month, he made a single business, and a single business made 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, so do you think I'm joking with you? Wang Zhan boasted to Hu Mingchen as much as he could.
Wang Zhan must elevate Hu Mingchen, otherwise, once Hu Mingchen is not taken seriously, the business will not be successful.
In the real world, no adult would want to cooperate with such insignificant elementary school students, who would not only think it was unrealistic, but even regarded it as a tease and insult.
Hearing that Hu Mingchen made 20,000 or 30,000 yuan in a single business a month, Chen Xuesheng was even more surprised, but this also made his assessment of Hu Mingchen have to change, and he can no longer be measured by common sense.
"In a month, a single business earns 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, which is ...... How did you do that, kid, can you tell me what you do to make so much money?" asked Chen Xuesheng in surprise.
Because of their acquaintance, Chen Xuesheng didn't think that Wang Zhan was exaggerating to deceive him, and Wang Zhan had no reason to do that. In this way, Chen Xuesheng is very curious, how can this primary school student have such a "great achievement".
"If I say it, I'm afraid I'm suspected of boasting, Uncle Wang knows better, so let him say it for me. Hu Mingchen said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Hu Mingchen knew very well that if he said it himself, no matter how accurate he said, the other party would still think that he had poured water if he didn't get it right, after all, the initial impression would be a little preconceived.
In this case, it is better to ask Wang Zhan to do it for you. Chen Xuesheng may not believe Hu Mingchen very much, but he will not doubt Wang Zhan casually, on the surface, Wang Zhan's credibility is still much higher than Hu Mingchen.
"That's right, he was in the dried ginger business some time ago, that is, he collected the ginger, washed it, and then dried it and sold the dried ginger, at that time his capital was insufficient, and I also lent him some of it...... In a rural yard dam auction, he sold the dried ginger that was not more than two yuan a pound to seven yuan and six, Xuesheng, I'm afraid it's difficult for you to do this, right?" Wang Zhan didn't postpone, so he told Hu Mingchen's business before and after.
Generally speaking, Wang Zhan knew about Hu Mingchen's business, and just now in the store and on the way here, Wang Zhan made a detailed understanding, and it was logical to introduce it, which increased the strong credibility.
"I really wouldn't have been able to do it if it were me. Chen Xuesheng responded sincerely.
Chen Xuesheng was able to admit it frankly in front of Hu Mingchen, which aggravated Hu Mingchen's impression of him. At least this shows that Chen Xuesheng is the kind of person who has a bearing and a mind.
"So you don't have to doubt the authenticity, the key is to talk about the needs and prices of each other, by the way, Xuesheng, I think this laser hall of yours is not bad, why don't you do it?" Wang Zhan said.
"I don't hide it, on the one hand, there are not many customers every day, it is difficult to make money, and the competition in the city is fierce. On the other hand, my classmate was engaged in an electronic business in the coastal area, and he invited me to join him, so I planned to tie him up and follow him to the coastal city to see if I could make a name for myself. After the impression was good, Chen Xuesheng didn't play those imaginary things, and he confessed that business was not good.
"I see that your location here is good, why don't you have many guests?" Wang Zhan asked with concern.
"My location is good and bad, if it's good, it's on the side of the main road, convenient, but, when I first chosen, I didn't expect that this place is actually not far from the bus station and train station. And on the bus station and train station, whether it's a laser hall or a video hall, there are two or three in each place, which makes me a little bit difficult to compete. Chen Xuesheng said analytically.
"Fortunately, Xiao Chen is just going to ask for equipment, otherwise if he receives it, it will really be unpredictable. Wang Zhan said.
"Where are you going to drive?" Chen Xuesheng asked Hu Mingchen.
"Country, Dug Township, I'm going to drive over there. Hu Mingchen replied succinctly.
"Then I advise you to forget it, in such a remote place as Duge Township, how many people are willing to spend money to watch movies? I know that Duge Township is still very poor and backward, you believe me, it is really not a good place to open a store. Originally, he was expecting Hu Mingchen to buy his own equipment, but after hearing that Hu Mingchen was driving in Duge Township, Chen Xuesheng was worried about him and suggested from his heart.
"Thank you Uncle Chen for your advice, though...... I still think I should give it a try. It is precisely because Duge Township is backward and remote that it may be a blue ocean that can make a difference. To be honest, more than half of the people in Duge Township have not watched TV, and more than half of the village has no electricity. We can understand this as having little spending power, but it can also be understood as potential, and the key is how to do it. For example, in the city, although the citizens generally have that spending power, there is also fierce competition, and most people in the city also have television sets, and watching videos and movies is just a pastime. However, it may be different in Duge Township, and it is not known whether it will become a popular fashion. How could Hu Mingchen be easily persuaded by Chen Xuesheng, he did this thing with some thought, not a hot head.
"Hehe, Xuesheng, Xiao Chen just saved face for you, he didn't take you as an example, the location is good, the facilities are good, but the operator is still in difficulty, why? From my point of view, I agree with Xiao Chen's judgment and assumptions, maybe the place that others are not optimistic about is precisely the place where there is a lot to do. Wang Zhan poked Chen Xuesheng with a smile.
Chen Xuesheng himself also fell into contemplation, he can be friends with Wang Zhan, he can't be a fool, it's just that he is affected and limited by inertial thinking.
In society, both businessmen and the general public like to follow the trend, and think that what everyone is enthusiastic about is good things. Everyone didn't think much about it, and the things that everyone was optimistic about might be things that hid a lot of risks.
And what many successful and outstanding people do is to think backwards and operate backwards, the more people are not optimistic, maybe the hidden benefits are greater, but they are not noticed by most people.
"It seems that I may have to change my thinking and direction of doing business, the future is terrifying, you can have this kind of insight at a young age, it's not simple, it's not simple, since you're optimistic about Duge Township, then do it, maybe you can really create a different world." Ten seconds later, Chen Xuesheng sighed and said.
"Thank you, thank you Uncle Chen for your encouragement, I will definitely work hard. Hu Mingchen thanked.
"Xuesheng, since you also think it is feasible, then shouldn't we talk about your cooperation after retreating, Xiao Yumei is still waiting for us to go back to dinner. Wang Zhan said.
