Chapter 0753 - Little Guy's Little Business
Los Angeles, Houston Street.
Next to Sherman Oaks Park, Dewey Union Los Angeles.
Eric, who is 15 years old this year, is already a ninth-grade high school student and is starting his high school career.
To be honest, Eric is living a pretty good life.
At the beginning of the eighth grade, he started his first business by opening a gym.
When he was at home, he found a lot of rich people complaining that there was no place to teach them exercise and fitness.
The gym at home is too boring, it is difficult for one person to stick to it, and so on.
Eric is keenly aware that this is an objective way to make money.
For the rich, the way of communication + fitness is what they are really interested in, and Eric puts his mind on it.
So, after negotiating a partnership with two retired fitness athletes who had participated in national fitness competitions in the United States, and finding the right place, Eric's business began.
VT private fitness room, all the gym equipment is custom-made, Eric refers to Li Zitao's private gym and S.H.I.E.L.D. training equipment.
And his price tag is deep in the hearts of the rich, and the annual membership fee of up to 2,000 US dollars can prevent them from coming into contact with the loers.
The gym takes up only half of the space, and the other half of the space Eric has put a lot of effort into the designer.
The private meeting room, which requires a high degree of privacy and sound insulation, is beautifully and concisely furnished, so that people will feel comfortable when they see it.
Eric then approached Fia Partners to outsource the 'training' business to her.
Fia found Norma again and asked her to use her mother's connections in Hollywood to find a lot of handsome guys and beauties with good figures, and let them become fitness studio instructors.
So far, VT has become a fire in just one year, and now there are 6 branches in Los Angeles.
This business can bring them 10~200,000 US dollars in income throughout the year, especially the attached value-added services.
Don't think crooked, there are no special services!
Clients are just able to choose their favorite trainer to match their workouts, as well as private room fees and tea and water service fees.
Don't underestimate these humble incomes, it's more profitable than VT's main business.
As for whether the coach and the client have a private connection, they are not in charge of what happens after work, it is people's freedom.
The ultra-high appearance and perfect body proportion make the customers who come seem to see their future selves, so more and more people apply for cards.
With the increase in popularity and membership, people who want to expand their network and social circle are also starting to look at VT as a new social option.
Therefore, it is understandable that it can be transferred to 10~200,000 US dollars per year.
However, Eric is not satisfied with this, and he wants to start his second venture as soon as possible, this time aiming at the retail sector.
Hualian is the most concise, perfect and fast management model he has ever seen, but its price is still not enough for the poor.
Can we build a department store for the poor?
This was what Eric envisioned, and for this he decided to investigate, which he had been working on for 3 months.
"Eric, Eric and so on. A girl briskly ran from the school, panting to catch up with Eric.
"Ciel. Eric smiled happily at the sight of the visitor.
The girl who came in front of him was his girlfriend, and his identity was limited to Eric, a boarding student, a good academic performance, and a frugal life.
But she is Eric's favorite girl and even wants to marry her in the future.
All right!
For a 15-year-old boy, the topic seemed a little too far away.
But in terms of this era and its mainstream thinking, Eric's thinking is normal, this is an era that pays attention to family values, and can get married and have children at the age of 13.
By the way, she's a white girl.
It's not that Eric discriminates against his compatriots, or deliberately chooses her, the acquaintance of the two can only be described as fate.
"Erik, are you going to work?" asked Hill, who was already a beauty at a young age, with a smile, knowing that Eric usually went to work and earned living expenses and tuition, which seemed cool to her.
"Yes, but it's still early. Eric wasn't lying, he was constantly required to work.
Whether it is the management and expansion of VT, or the investigation, analysis and plan of the second venture, he needs to be personally responsible.
"At the beginning of this semester, I'm going to start working part-time, is there still a shortage of people where you work?" Hill looked at him with a smile.
Hill wasn't so impressive, she was the kind of girl at the next table who smiled and made people happy.
Her figure is very well developed, and according to the standards of later generations, she belongs to a slightly chubby beauty, which happens to be the type that Eric likes.
"Yes, I can help you ask. Eric didn't say yes directly, but said he would ask about the situation and get back to her.
The job in the VT didn't suit her, at least not for Erik.
You need to deal with different people every day, and you need to provide services to them, and it is inevitable to take advantage of them once in a while.
After all, in the gym, there are many physical contacts, and Eric doesn't want his girlfriend to be taken advantage of, and he is not a generous person in this regard.
However, in his second business plan, there are many jobs suitable for Hill to do, such as store manager, cashier, etc.
"Okay, do you want to go together?" Hill didn't want to delay her boyfriend's work, and at 15 years old, they had already understood the cruelty of society and the importance of money.
Bread is the basis of life, at least fill your stomach anyway, isn't it?
"Of course, we can go on the tram together. Eric took his girlfriend's hand and walked towards the station.
"Eric, you never said anything about your family and your family. In front of the tram stop, Hill suddenly asked about this.
"I'm an orphan with adoptive parents who have been nice to me, but I want to work my own to create a future life and that's it. Eric's answer was succinct and clear.
"I'm sorry. Hill looked at him apologetically.
"No, I'm fine, I'm happy with my life now. Eric's smile was full of happiness, which could not be disguised.
He was really happy with his life, and although some terrible things happened to him when he was a child, they are now over.
And his future life will be created by himself.
Just like Fia and Norma, they are also working hard for their future.
Compared to Eric, their business is bigger and more prosperous, and even New York has their branch, which is the most enviable.
The women's spa is what they learned from Mary to make money, and now even Mary is one of their customers.
