Chapter 4 Plans to start a business
Xue Yingying, the class flower and school flower, was her goddess back then, and her crush for three years in high school.
She was now sitting two meters away from Li Feng with her two heads apart.
Xue Yingying belongs to the kind of goddess who has both IQ and appearance, and her voice is also very good, no matter which aspect, she is the top in Xianhu No. 1 Middle School, and the average beauty is more than one grade worse than her.
Back then, I was fascinated by this little girl, but Li Feng was quite young when he was a teenager, and he had no flirting skills, so he could only hide in a small corner on the side, and he didn't dare to show his heart from beginning to end.
And Xue Yingying is also a relatively cold girl, perhaps because the boys are very attentive to her, so she has always put on a look of not getting in the oil and salt, even so, the love letters she received in the three years of high school are probably full of baskets.
After graduating from high school, Xue Yingying was admitted to the famous Jiangzhou University in China with excellent results, and then went abroad for further study.
"Next, ask a student to come up and do an example problem, using mathematical induction to prove 1+12+13+... +12n-11), the first step should be to verify the inequality ......" Lao Tian wrote an example problem on the blackboard, "Xue Yingying, you come." ”
Xue Yingying, who was wearing a pink flower dress, got up and walked up, she was tall, 168 tall with long hair fluttering back, and she was already intoxicated before she even looked at her face.
Of course, as an old man in his thirties, Li Feng's mentality is much calmer than when he was a student, so even if he saw Xue Yingying's shadow, he only smiled slightly, and did not stir up too much turmoil in his heart.
And his best friend in high school belonged to Zhao Yin, who was sitting behind him.
This kid is not stupid, and he can often come up with bad ideas, but his academic performance is quite poor, and he is almost at the bottom of the class.
He thinks about playing games and basketball on weekdays, and likes to sleep on his stomach in class, and has been invited out of the classroom by the teacher by pinching his ears because he snored after falling asleep.
Originally, Zhao Yin's grades could only be studied in a junior college, but during the college entrance examination, his character suddenly exploded, and he was admitted to the second book with difficulty and was admitted to the marketing major of Xianhu University, a local Xianhu University in Xianhu City.
After graduating, he worked as a sales manager in a 4S store, and his life was so-so.
Since Li Feng went to work in Jiangzhou after graduation, the two have almost met less and less, and they haven't seen each other in the past two or three years.
Li Feng's mind was spinning rapidly, and the past began to come back to his mind one by one, and he suddenly wanted to go home to see his parents.
Sixteen years ago, my parents were still young, my mother had been laid off from the woolen factory, and my father was an old skilled worker who worked at the No. 2 Machinery Factory in Xianhu City, but the state-owned enterprise's efficiency is getting worse and worse, and the restructuring process will soon be started.
If Li Feng remembers correctly, his father's factory could last for a year and three months, and it was completely restructured in early 2003, and his father was laid off.
Since then, the two of them have lived a difficult life of frugality for Li Feng to go to college, and when the days are the most difficult, the two of them can only drink white porridge to survive, and the embarrassing life makes them sad early.
Li Feng began to feel deeply guilty for his ignorance back then, his family's economic situation was so difficult, he also slipped away to the Internet café from time to time to play games online, three years of high school, and the Internet fee alone was more than 3,000 yuan, which was enough for one year of college tuition.
"Li Feng, what are you doing? Are you stupid?" Tian Changjian couldn't help but say when he saw Li Feng looking at the ceiling in a daze.
"Uh...... Mr. Tian, I am a little dizzy and want to go home to rest. Li Feng wanted to leave early and go home to see his parents. Besides, here, Lin Yuting's little witch will definitely pester him to ask for debts.
"Okay, go back today and have a good rest, and come back to class tomorrow. Lao Tian looked at his mummy head, and there was no way but to approve it.
"Hey, stinky boy, let's get out of the way early. Zhao Yin slapped Li Feng's buttocks with a textbook in the back, and as soon as Li Feng left, there was no one in front of him, so it was inconvenient for him to sleep in class.
And Li Feng had already packed his schoolbag and trotted out of the classroom.
He first went to the infirmary to remove the bandage on his head, and went home with such a mummified head, wouldn't he scare his parents to death.
Without the restraint of bandages, Li Feng suddenly felt that his mind was much clearer, and he walked very briskly. This is his seventeen-year-old body, full of youthful vitality, completely different from his previous body in his thirties, with a beer belly the size of a watermelon.
Being young is good, and there is no end to it. Li Feng walked out of the campus with brisk steps, only to see that the door was clean, and the scene of the car accident had been thoroughly cleaned up, as if nothing had happened.
As for his bicycle, it seems to be missing, and it seems that it must have been detained by Lin Yuting as evidence.
No matter what, if you have a lot of debts, you don't have to weigh down, and you can take one step at a time.
Li Feng went to Brother Ding's Internet café first, it was the off-season for business in the afternoon, and the students were all locked up in the school to attend classes honestly.
In the Internet café, there are a few young people who wash, cut and blow their shapes, and their business seems a little deserted.
Ding Tianming finished pulling the calculator, and this month's profit seems to have declined again.
He stood by the bar with a gloomy face, his fat head in his hands, and his strong body seemed to have lost his strength all of a sudden.
I saw half a cigarette in the corner of his mouth, and bursts of smoke came out of his nostrils, as if he was thinking about life.
"Brother Ding, I'll pay for the Internet at noon. Li Feng walked up the narrow staircase.
He doesn't want to take advantage of others, Brother Ding is righteous and earns a few hard-earned money, which is not easy.
"Yo, Li Feng, didn't you say forget it. Ding Tianming's thoughts were pulled back by Li Feng, he took off the cigarette in his mouth, and flicked a centimeter of cigarette ash, "Hey, what's going on in your head?"
After removing the bandage, Li Feng still had a large gauze on his forehead, and his forehead looked a little swollen.
"Nothing, I was touched by a car. Li Feng said lightly, and took out five yuan from his pocket, "Brother Ding, the Internet fee cannot be waived, it belongs to Zhao Yin and me." ”
Ding Tianming didn't shirk, took the money, continued to smoke, and let out a long puff of smoke, causing a large amount of PM2.5 to surround the top of his head, making Ding Tianming at first glance look like a raunchy immortal elder.
"Brother Ding, what's wrong, it seems that there is something on your mind. Li Feng was not in a hurry to leave, and stood by the bar and asked.
In his memory, for some reason, this Internet café suddenly closed down after about November 2001, and now it is early October, and there is only a month left, and it seems that Ding Tianming has encountered some trouble.
"Grass, this Internet café can't be opened, I'm so worried!" Ding Tianming turned back and forth around the bar twice, without a trace of a smile on his face, and said softly.
"I think business here is pretty good, at least it's much better than going to work. Li Feng said tentatively.
"Brother Li, don't you know, the lot in this area is getting more and more expensive, the two-year lease is about to expire, and the black-hearted landlord will raise the price by 30% all of a sudden, and it will be signed once a year, and the price may increase next year, how can I afford it." Ding Tianming spread his hands and said, "In addition, the Education Bureau has recently introduced a breaking measure to ask primary and secondary schools to crack down on students using the Internet, and my source of customers here is getting fewer and fewer." ”
Li Feng nodded, these two bad news are sandwiched in both directions, and the future of Brother Ding's Internet café is indeed worrying.
This small Internet café is also very crowded and gloomy because of the general machinery and equipment, and the Internet fee is cheaper than other Internet cafes.
The average running time of a machine is about ten hours a day, and it can only earn ten to fifteen dollars.
If you remove rent, utilities, internet and maintenance costs, the profit is already very limited.
According to Li Feng's professional perspective as an angel investor, if this is a start-up company, there are serious problems in terms of business model, customer positioning, growth expectations, and cost control.
Ding Tianming graduated from vocational high school, his education level is very average, and in 2001 there was no standardized Internet café management and operation system, this extensive business model, only about three to five years of life, will soon come to an end.
"Brother Ding, then what are your plans in the future?" asked Li Feng.
"I want to get rid of the stall here as soon as possible and go get a second-hand truck to run the logistics. Ding Tianming said.
Ding Tianming's entrepreneurial direction is quite good, at the beginning of the 21st century, the official blowout period of the entire Chinese infrastructure construction.
With the improvement and penetration of the entire highway network and railway network in China, the logistics field has ushered in a good period of vigorous development.
Especially after that, with the rise of Internet e-commerce, the goods of the whole country began to enter a large-scale and rapid circulation, which is definitely a great benefit to the logistics industry.
Therefore, entering the logistics industry at this time, Ding Tianming's way is accurate.
Li Feng couldn't help nodding secretly in his heart, giving a thumbs up to Brother Ding's foresight.
However, he came up with an idea, since Ding Tianming's Internet café is about to close, why not take this opportunity to buy all his computers and run an Internet café himself.
