Chapter Eighty-Five: Peers Are Enemies
At the end of October, several companies under Liu Yun officially moved into the sixteenth floor of Zhonglang Building. His cousins Liu Yueru and Wu Qiaoling also officially ended their guerrilla days and had a fixed office.
The south side of the 200-square-meter office building is divided into three companies. They are Jiangnan Yoyo Tea Co., Ltd., Jiangnan Yoyo Technology Network Co., Ltd., and Jiangnan Yoyo Internet Cafe Management Co., Ltd.
And the general manager's office is closed all year round, and several employees under him don't know who the general manager is.
Wu Qiaoling is the executive vice president of Jiangnan Yoyo Tea Co., Ltd., while Liu Yueru is also the executive vice president of Jiangnan Yoyo Technology Network Co., Ltd. and Jiangnan Yoyo Internet Café Management Co., Ltd.
For the sake of confidentiality, the R&D team of YOYO milk tea is located in Donghai City, and the center of the market is in Ningjiang City, Wu Qiaoling often needs to run back and forth between the two places, while looking for a suitable new store, and she does not see anyone for half of the week. Liu Yun was also thinking about whether to match her with an assistant.
Although Liu Yueru is in charge of two companies, she is far less busy than Wu Qiaoling. There are two employees in charge of updating and maintaining the website, the Internet café in the university town has renovation staff, and she only needs to supervise the work, and the two Internet cafes in Donghai City don't need her to care.
At this moment, she was holding a blank piece of paper in her hand, on which was the investment promotion plan designed by Liu Yun. The so-called investment promotion is actually the trick he came up with with to change his left hand for his right hand.
This weekend, YOYO Milk Tea will officially buy the advertising rights of the homepage of Youyou for one year at a price of 500,000 yuan. To this end, they rented a hotel conference room for a press conference.
Liu Yueru was worried that there would be no reporters, and in the end it was deserted, and the scene was very embarrassing. Liu Yun told her nonchalantly: "Spend money to invite reporters to come, get a 300 red envelope, and invite them to eat a free lunch. They will definitely say good things about us when they go back. ”
Who wouldn't love those reporters who don't have a lot of income, a free lunch, and money to take?
At that moment, Liu Yueru felt that her heart was impacted. Although she is four years older than Liu Yun, she has much less social experience than her cousin, and the ghost ideas in his mind are one after another.
This time, there was a total of 15,000 yuan, 5,000 yuan for hiring reporters, and the remaining 10,000 yuan included rent and the cost of running a newspaper.
She carefully looked at the paper in her hand again, there were a lot of Liu Yun's own thoughts written on it, and she might mention it at the press conference at that time, and Liu Yueru needed to make preparations in advance.
But Liu Yun was unable to attend that day, and he had already stepped on the bus back to Donghai City at this moment.
A few days ago, when Liu Yun was on the phone with Liu Dad, Liu Hai, he knew one thing. Recently, in the two Internet cafes operating in Donghai City, there have been people from the police station and the fire department who have come to inspect them, and they can always pick out some problems of one kind or another.
Dad Liu gave a shopping card, cigarettes, and even a red envelope, and the situation improved a little. It's a pity that after a few days, these people will repeat their old tricks, the meaning is very simple, you can't break this filial piety money, you have to give it all the time.
Sitting on the bus, Liu Yun leaned on the sofa chair and looked at the scenery outside the car window thoughtfully. The smooth sailing of the road made him a little fluttery, and even forgot his sense of crisis.
The private economy in Jiangnan Province is very developed, and the business atmosphere is among the best in the whole of China. In many prefecture-level cities in Jiangnan Province, as long as you operate legally and reasonably and make money, few people will come to make it difficult for you.
So after he got the business license, he rarely took care of the relationship with the government department. But now it is 2003, not 2018, when the Internet is highly developed and law enforcement needs to wear recorders.
This weekend, he was going to go home for a visit, and he always felt that these things were not as simple as they seemed.
When Liu Yun rushed to the 200-square-meter Internet café in Pujiang District, Donghai City, he happened to see several people in military uniforms standing at the door. They're from the fire brigade, and they come back for routine inspections on weekends, which is a nice thing to say. The other layer means that I want to get a little oil and water.
Dad Liu stuffed a few shopping cards with a smiling face, and after sending these people away, he sighed towards Liu Yun and said, "Son, it's not easy for us to do business." ”
This is in Jiangnan Province, where the private economy is highly developed, not in those places where bureaucracy is strong. Liu Yun rubbed his eyebrows and felt a little headache, and he didn't think about how to deal with the officials.
His original idea was to operate legally, pay taxes according to the law, and not interfere with each other, but now it seems that it will not work.
"How is the bubble tea shop, are they embarrassed?" Liu Yun thought of the shop next door and asked.
Dad Liu shook his head and said, "That's not true. "Donghai City is a tourist city, and the catering industry is highly developed, whether it is the gourmet shops, restaurants, beverage shops on both sides of the street, or various restaurants, stalls, and seafood cities, it can be said that there is everything.
For the entire catering industry, although YOYO milk tea has a good business, it occupies a small area and has a limited turnover, which looks like a small workshop and is inconspicuous. Fresh tea with a variety of beverages will not have any hygiene problems.
It is important to know that no matter where you are, the health department will always pay more attention to what you eat than what you drink.
"The same is true of the Internet cafes in Haijiang District?" asked Liu Yun after a moment's thought
Dad Liu replied truthfully: "It's okay over there, Haijiang District has a large population, a strong business atmosphere, and there are a lot of Internet cafes over there, of course, our specifications are a little higher." If you send money and cards, everyone has a share, and we are no exception, mainly about fire fighting. After sending it, everyone will be able to settle down for a while. ”
Liu Yun pursed his lips and said secretly: If the two Internet cafes he opened fail to pass the fire fighting, it would be good for all the Internet cafes in Donghai City to close their doors. He spared no expense in building these two Internet cafes according to the highest fire protection standards at the moment.
"Dad, how is the business lately?" Liu Yun continued to ask.
Dad Liu thought for a while and said: "It's okay, but not far from our street, there is also an Internet café on Bei'an Road, I have seen that the area is almost 180 square meters, and the grade of decoration is also good, and some customers are diverted." ”
"Oh?" Liu Yun frowned and said, "How is the pricing of this Internet café?" This was Liu Yun's first reaction.
"The membership price is the same, but this Internet café only accepts members, and all members who charge money will give an additional 20% of the amount, that is, the membership card of 100 yuan is actually 120 yuan. "Daddy Liu's personality is very similar to Liu Yun, he is cautious by nature, and he deliberately went to understand the situation.
Liu Yun squinted his eyes slightly, and suddenly understood the meaning. This Internet café only accepts members, and 20% of the amount will be given when the money is rushed, which means that customers who go to their Internet café once to surf the Internet can only go to this Internet café in the future. The money in the membership card cannot be wasted, and the 20% discount can attract customers to apply for a membership card. This is clearly against them.
