Chapter 22 My sister is a pet
Xu Yiyang didn't expect that he could recruit more than 600 students in one go today.
Such an enrollment efficiency is definitely against the sky when placed in the training class.
However, this efficiency is also justified, after all, I am on the TV news, and I have fully demonstrated my English ability in the news.
Not only that, but also Thomas Rauter and his wife, Director Cai of the Education Bureau, endorsed themselves, which was strong enough and attractive enough.
With so many favorable conditions, recruiting a few hundred students is really nothing.
He couldn't help but think of Yu Minhong, a master who did English training in his previous life.
New Oriental also started from training classes, and it focuses on the market segment of overseas training, and it can achieve tens of thousands of students in less than two years.
In 2006, New Oriental went public in the United States with a market value of tens of billions of dollars, becoming the largest education group in China at that time.
Not to mention compared with the listed New Oriental, even compared with the start-up stage of New Oriental, his more than 600 students are nothing.
Because, New Oriental focuses on English training abroad, and the unit price is very high, and it is thousands of yuan to apply for a class casually, and the unit price of its own customer is only 100 yuan, which is really far worse than others.
Thinking that the road is long, this is just the beginning, and the excitement in Xu Yiyang's heart instantly diluted a lot.
Aside from the excitement just now, he thought that he still had more than 5,000 yuan in cash on his body, and it was too late to deposit it in the bank, so he planned to fulfill his promise to his sister first.
Buy her a Giant bike.
As the first mid-to-high-end bicycle brand to enter the mainland market, Giant has always been the best bicycle brand in the eyes of most ordinary people in the 90s and early 21st century.
Among the bicycle brands of this era, Giant is alone at the top of the pyramid, and below it are the old brands such as Phoenix, Permanent, Flying Pigeon, etc.
Xu Yiyang recalled that when he was in school, the minimum monthly salary standard set by the Yingzhou Municipal Government was 240 yuan, and the actual per capita monthly salary was less than 400 yuan, but any Giant bicycle in those years was not less than 400 yuan.
The better ones can even reach hundreds, or even thousands.
Today's middle school students don't have mobile phones, MP3s, MP4s, and even genuine Sony Walkmans are rare, so a Giant bicycle is a real luxury for them.
Although Xu Yishan never said that she wanted a bicycle of her own, Xu Yiyang could still see the expectations and desires in her heart.
So, Xu Yiyang did not ride his sister home directly, but rode to the post and telecommunications building in Yingzhou according to his memory.
In my memory, most of the shops selling bicycles in Yingzhou were concentrated near the Post and Telecommunications Building.
Xu Yishan saw that he didn't go in the direction of home, and asked him where he was going, but he didn't say, he knew it naturally.
By this time it was nightfall.
As soon as Xu Yiyang and his sister arrived at the Post and Telecommunications Building, they saw the eye-catching light box signboard of the Giant store diagonally across the road.
So, he rode to the front of Giant and stopped, and said to his sister, "Let's go, go in and have a look." ”
Xu Yishan hurriedly asked, "Brother, you don't want to buy me a bicycle, do you?"
"That's right. Xu Yiyang said: "Since my brother promised you, you must honor it, go, go in and have a look." ”
Xu Yishan hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Brother, forget it, you will go to college in half a year, and I will just ride your car when the time comes, isn't your car quite good, you don't need to buy a new car, it's a waste." ”
Xu Yiyang touched the hair on the top of her head and said, "Brother, this broken car is difficult to ride, except for the bell that doesn't ring, the garbage transmission is also broken, and the chain often drops, so brother still wants to buy you a good one." ”
Xu Yishan said again: "But I still like you to ride with me, don't you have no chance if you buy a new car?"
Xu Yiyang asked: "Don't you keep saying that you are disgusted with the front bar?"
Xu Yishan said coquettishly: "That's just fun, in fact, you don't have to work hard in your car, but you can worry about it and be comfortable." ”
Xu Yiyang shook his head and smiled, and said: "I still have a lot of things to do next semester, I have to review, I have to prepare for the exam, and if I don't want to continue to hold training classes, I may not be able to take care of picking you up on time." ”
"Ah, you still have a training class at the beginning of the school year?"
"There is this idea. Xu Yiyang didn't hide it, and said seriously: "After all, you can make money by opening a training class, and I can't bear to stop it." ”
After speaking, Xu Yiyang pulled her into the store and said, "Don't be sluggish, hurry up and pick one, let's ride back today, otherwise you will have to squeeze the bus by yourself next semester." ”
Xu Yishan had no choice but to nod, but also said with a little excitement: "Okay, thank you, brother......"
The models in the Giant store are varied, mainly urban recreational vehicles, mountain bikes and road bikes.
The front bar of the urban recreational car is bent and obliquely down by two bars, which is more convenient for girls to get on and off from the front, so this type of car is also the first choice for most girls, this kind of car has no transmission, the structure is relatively simple, and the price is the cheapest.
As for straight-handlebar off-road bikes and road bikes with curved handlebars, they are actually not suitable for girls' daily riding.
After Xu Yishan entered, she directly ignored the mountain bike and road bike, kept searching for several recreational vehicles, looked around, and finally pointed to a pale yellow recreational vehicle and said, "Brother, I think this is very good." ”
Xu Yiyang looked at it: "It's very ordinary." ”
Looking at the price again, the 458 is the cheapest of several cars.
The middle-aged male boss who followed him said: "This car is the cheapest in our store, and it is also the only one under 500 yuan, which is very cost-effective, many students in Yingzhou buy this, if you buy it now, send a front car basket, put a schoolbag or something, it is very convenient to go to school." ”
Xu Yiyang suddenly felt a little distressed, this girl, knowing that she had earned 64,000 yuan, chose the cheapest bicycle in the store, was she reluctant to spend money, or was she too different from her brother?
Xu Yishan, who was on the side, keenly noticed that his brother didn't seem to be very satisfied with the car, so he hurriedly took the initiative to sell it and said: "Brother, you see this car is very good, the car is a little smaller, and it is a little shorter, it is more convenient to ride, and it is very good-looking." ”
"Not very good. Xu Yiyang shook his head and searched around.
Soon, his attention was drawn to a bicycle hanging on the wall.
The car is in French retro style, and the styling is very chic and beautiful.
The handlebar is very special and high-end, and the frame is a particularly positive yellow, which is very conspicuous and beautiful.
With a white front basket, white front and rear tiles, and a white chain cover, the color is also very fresh.
The seat cushion of the car is brown leather, the color is very natural, the workmanship is also very fine, and the overall appearance is very exquisite.
Moreover, the car also comes with a simple set of rear shifting.
Although it is not as complicated as the shifting of mountain bikes and road bikes, Xu Yiyang counted the rear crankset, and there are a total of seven gears, which is definitely enough to cope with daily uphill climbs.
So Xu Yiyang pointed to the car and asked Xu Yishan: "What do you think of this?"
As soon as Xu Yishan saw it, her eyes lit up with fascination.
Then she subconsciously turned her gaze to the label, and when she saw the price, she was immediately startled.
1598!
Xu Yishan hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Oh, this is not good-looking, you look at it weirdly, like the kind of car that only exists in foreign movies." ”
Xu Yiyang is also a person from here, how can he not see the change in Xu Yishan's eyes when he sees this car.
knew that Xu Yishan would definitely like this car, so he ignored Xu Yishan's deliberate denial, turned to the boss and said, "I want this car." ”
Before the boss came to his senses, Xu Yishan said anxiously: "Don't want this, don't want this, this is too expensive, and it's not good-looking!"
"More than a thousand yuan, it's not expensive. Xu Yiyang waved his hand indifferently, and said to the boss again: "I want this." ”
Xu Yishan stomped his feet anxiously: "Oh brother, I really don't want this car, this car has such a strange shape, it will be laughed at if you ride it out!"
Xu Yiyang saw through her lies at a glance and said: "At the beginning, mountain bikes were very strange in the eyes of boys, but everyone thought they were very handsome, and they all dreamed of one.
After that, he said to the boss: "Help transfer the car, and give it a good lock." ”
The boss saw that the young man in front of him was not joking, and immediately raised his eyebrows: "Well, I'll give you another kettle and bottle cage with matching colors!"
"Brother......" Xu Yishan said a little crampedly: "This is really too expensive......
Xu Yiyang smiled slightly and said, "Listen to my brother, I want this car." ”
Xu Yishan's big eyes looked at his brother, reached out and pulled the corner of his clothes, shook it slightly, and said in a low voice: "Brother, why are you so good to me?"
Xu Yiyang reached out and pinched her face, and said with a smile: "Isn't my sister just used to pet?"
