23. Persuasion
It's really embarrassing for the third brother, who can endure it for so long.
Zhou Fangyuan looked at the other party's tangled expression, and felt funny, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, for fear of really annoying the other party.
If you explain, it should be regarded as a necessary process, after all, this time to open an Internet café, the third brother between the two of them took the lion's share, and it was a particularly large part, in any case, since Zhou Fangyuan agreed to the landlord's investment request, but the third brother still had an objection, he had to let the other party smooth out his mentality.
It's just that how to explain this kind of thing?
"Third brother, what do you think we should do. ”
Zhou Fangyuan didn't start to explain directly, but asked rhetorically.
"Of course it's a refusal, this is our brother's business, what does it have to do with him, and he wants 65 percent if he opens his mouth, who does he think he is? Do you want me to work for him? If that's the case, why should I vote for the 200,000 yuan!"
The third brother said loudly, welcoming the attention of the surrounding pedestrians.
Seeing his emotional appearance, Zhou Fangyuan knew that the third brother was very unhappy now. Also, I'm afraid that no one will be happy, it's obviously a very good thing, but it is not said by others, and the other party has to share most of the profits, and no one will be happy.
"But now it's down to 45 percent......"
Zhou Fangyuan tried to defend himself.
"What's the difference? Sixty-five or forty-five, in the final analysis, this is our own business, what does it have to do with him? What qualifications does he have to meddle? You too, fatty, it's not my brother who said you, why did you promise him? Without Zhang Butcher, I can still eat pigs with hair? Even if I don't rent a house here, there is a house on Beitongman Street, and I can rent it elsewhere!"
Third brother, you have to understand that people are much richer than us. ”
"So what? According to you, the market in Beitong is so big, it is not something that can be completely occupied by one or two Internet cafes, and if I stay away from him, I won't believe it, and he can still snatch all my customers?"
The third brother's eyes widened.
Zhou Fangyuan looked at him and sighed helplessly.
"Okay, third brother, since you said so, then let me ask you a few questions, if you still feel that this matter cannot be done after answering my questions, then let's go back and explain the situation to the other party, and then tear up the agreement." We haven't received any money anyway, so it's not hard to terminate the agreement now. ”
"Okay, you ask!"
The third brother crossed his waist with his hands, a shrewd scolding the street, and with his masculine company, it was just how funny and funny it was.
Finally holding back the laughter, Zhou Fangyuan cleared his throat.
"Third brother, do you want to tell me, what are we lacking the most now?"
"The most lacking ......" the third brother was stunned, "Of course it's a lack of money!"
"Ahem......"
Zhou Fangyuan, who was choked by this answer, coughed uncontrollably a few times.
"You're right, we are indeed short of money, but third brother, I think what we lack most now is not money, but time. ”
"When?"
The third brother was stunned by Zhou Fangyuan's words, and subconsciously repeated.
"That's right, time," Zhou Fangyuan nodded, "Third brother, what do you think, compared with roast sausages, what is the biggest threshold for an Internet café? It is money, if there is not enough starting capital, the Internet café will not be opened, even if it is barely opened, it can only be regarded as a computer room." But is the threshold for Internet cafes really high? Actually, it's not that high. Although our Beitong City is underdeveloped, compared with the sea market and the capital, it is more than a little bit worse, but if there are two or three hundred thousand people in the family, I think it is still a lot. ”
When the third brother heard this, he nodded subconsciously.
Indeed, as one of the once important energy bases in China, although most of the people of Beitong are poor, there are also many rich people. With only two or three hundred thousand, there are too many people who can get this money, and I dare not say that it is too many to count, and it is definitely more than ordinary people imagine.
"So, even if one percent of these people take out the money to build an Internet café, can you imagine the scene at that time, third brother?"
"This ......" The third brother hesitated for a moment, maybe he imagined it in his mind, he looked at Zhou Fangyuan with an uncertain expression on his face, "There may be Internet cafes all over the place." ”
"That's right, once so many people join the industry, Beitong City will become full of Internet cafes. I did tell you before that this is a very big market, but this so-called big is when Internet cafes have not yet emerged. After all, Beitong City is so big, the population is so much, the entire jurisdiction of Beitong City, counting all the districts, counties and towns, is only three million people, no matter how dense the population of the urban area is, it will not exceed two million.
Among the two million people, remove the elderly and women, remove office workers, remove people who don't like to surf the Internet, let me ask you, third brother, how many potential customers do you say we have?
It's a lot, it's a lot, but once Beitong is full of Internet cafes, how many people can each Internet café get at that time? People with a lot of money can still grit their teeth and persevere, but people like us, who have already taken all the foundations, can't last long. Once you really fail in the competition at that time, not to mention that you will lose all your money, but you will also lose your vitality.
Third brother, people like us can't afford to be hurt, and if we are injured once, we may never have a chance to raise our heads again in this life. So what we lack most now is time, we must build this Internet café before anyone else, and make it bigger, and make it a famous Internet café in Beitong City. As long as everyone can think of our Internet café when they mention the Internet, we can survive in the real tide of competition.
As you saw this morning, 300 computers, both good and bad, were all bought. What do you say other people buy computers for? Do you use them for their own use? Some people are nervous enough to buy dozens of computers in one go while they are using them at home. We can already conclude that these people are also opening Internet cafes, and the most unfortunate is also a large computer room, and the first competition has come, at this time, if we do not seize this opportunity for someone to invest, we will directly expand the Internet café to the extent that others look up to it...... Third brother, even if we survive in the end, how much money will we earn? Of course, there is no problem with food and clothing, but is your ambition just to eat and wear?"
Zhou Fangyuan said a lot in one breath.
The third brother was speechless.
Yes, if it's just for food and clothing, his current state of life is enough. 200,000 is not a small amount in this era, and you can buy several sets of houses in the urban area. Even if you buy a small shop on the street, you can buy one or two sets. There are two sets of shops with decent locations, enough to eat and drink for the rest of your life, as long as you don't spend money indiscriminately, you may really retire early at the age of thirty.
But that's not the life that the third brother yearns for, he hopes that he can become a rich man and a rich man, not just a charter man.
"So, let me ask you a second question, third brother, do you think that this Uncle Wang's stake in our Internet café is tantamount to robbing our industry?"
The third brother nodded.
Zhou Fangyuan shook his head and chuckled, "Third brother, getting close to capital, embracing capital, and making good use of capital is the best way for a person to make a fortune." Capital is not a beast, of course, it is not a saint god, capital is a double-edged sword, how to make good use of capital, is a great knowledge. I don't have such a skill, but this Uncle Wang, he is not a capital, at most an investor.
Many people are eager for capital but have no way out, and now someone has taken the initiative to find us, and you actually think he is troublesome.
Third brother, think about it, is the Internet café really important to us? The ultimate goal of opening this Internet café is to make money, as long as we can make money, it is enough to make money that satisfies us. And even if this Uncle Wang invests, the legal person of the company is still you, or you have the final say, and he is not directly involved in the management, what else do you not see?
And third brother, our future will be incomparably brilliant, why do you want to limit your eyes to this small Internet café? After all, this Internet café is just a certain stop for us to start with, and the infinite journey is still to come, since he wants to invest, you let him invest. I really can't get over this hurdle in my heart, it's a big deal that after we make money, you jump away from him and open an Internet café again. Completely in your own capacity, with your own funds, you are the boss alone, isn't that okay?
You're right before, we're short of money now, and because we lack money, we need to invest. With investment, we can expand the scale, we can quickly get started, open Internet cafes as quickly as possible, and seize this market. When the market matures and we have money, when the time comes, we can also live a very prosperous life by kicking him away, so why not?"
The third brother was even more speechless, and even nodded involuntarily.
"So third brother, don't be angry, it's a good thing that the wronged boss takes the initiative to let us fish. What's more, we have no money in our hands now, and then whether the Internet café should be renovated, whether it costs money to go through the procedures, please network management, please ask technicians, these all need money. With these 300,000, there is no doubt that we have more room to move around, and the risk will be smaller. What's more, doing business is about harmony and making money, so why should we do it with him? When the time comes, we can only cheapen others, so it is better to eat this fatty meat and fatten ourselves first.
Zhou Fangyuan hooked the third brother's shoulder and said with a smile.
The third brother looked at him and sighed heavily for a while.
"I'm really scared of you, you mouth, how can you practice so well? You weren't like this before, I remember that although you were very good at talking before, you didn't want to be like this now, it's so well organized that it's completely irrefutable. Fatty, you've become so much that I can't recognize the third brother. ”
"Hehe, no matter how you change, you are also my third brother, and I am also your younger brother. Okay, let's go back, it's been a busy day today, go back and get some rest, you have other things to do tomorrow. Starting a business is always the hardest, so you have to be mentally prepared and don't be crushed by setbacks. ”
Zhou Fangyuan deliberately pulled the third brother and said with a hippie smile.
"You, you, you......"
The third brother tapped Zhou Fangyuan with his finger, smiled bitterly, and shook his head helplessly.
"I've let you say the right thing and the other way, what else can I say, okay, I won't say anything, I'll listen to you, anyway, I'm on your thief ship." ”
"How can it be a thief ship? This is clearly a golden ship, you will wait to count the money in the future." When the time comes, it is guaranteed to let you sleep until you wake up naturally, count the money and count until your hands cramp. ”
Zhou Fangyuan patted his chest and said.
The third brother was amused by him, "Then I'll wait for this day, go, don't go home for dinner tonight, go drink with my brother." ”
"Eh, third brother, I still have a child......"
"Kid, what do you look like a child? Don't talk nonsense, my brother is not happy today, you have to have a drink with my brother. ”
"No, I can't drink......"
"Don't talk nonsense, don't think that my brother doesn't know, you little bastard can drink more than anyone else. ”
"Hey, why are you scolding?"
"Scolding you, the gang is still beating you!"
", Yu Ban run, the third brother is crazy!"
The figures of the three people fighting and making trouble gradually drifted away and gradually disappeared.
