Chapter Thirty-Eight: Look at the Shop
The day after returning from Pengcheng, Li Mu began to register a domain name.
The first domain he tried to register was Facebook.
Unfortunately, this domain was already registered in '97.
If you think about it, it seems that Mark Zuckerberg really didn't have the money to buy a Facebook domain name at first, but only got the domain name after financing.
Li Mu didn't care, and wanted to find some good Chinese Shuangphang domain names that can be registered, less than a hundred yuan a year, and it is good to register a few to keep and play.
Although many Larry has been registered, many future household names have not yet been registered, such as: Taobao.
Taobao was only registered in 2003, and before Jack Ma, no one had thought of the word Taobao on the Internet.
The word "Taobao" should have been a very great idea in Ma Yun's mind, of course, Taobao's model itself is very remarkable, but it is undeniable that the word Taobao is also amazing, because it is too intuitive and too vivid, not only obvious, catchy, but also releasing a subconscious, I have a lot of treasures here, come and Tao.
Therefore, the significance of Taobao to Jack Ma should be similar to the meaning of Facebook to Mark Zuckerberg.
Hehe, I'm sorry then......
Subsequently, the word "WeChat" was not spared from disaster, as soon as he thought that Baidu was going to play the post bar in two years, Li Mu registered the post bar .com, Douban .com, and he also wanted to register "know .com", but unfortunately it was registered by others.
Thinking of his music portal plan, Li Mu thought about it and registered an Eting, which can be understood as E listening, easy to hear, and also easy to remember and input.
Registered a bunch of domain names, which didn't cost much in total, but were extremely useful for the future.
……
After getting the domain name, Li Mu went to the street.
He was thinking about opening a store for his parents, and now that the money was in hand, it was time to implement this plan.
Li Mu went straight to the most prosperous commercial street in Haizhou, wanting to see the rental situation of the shops first, first to see if there were suitable shops, and then to consult the rental price.
The impression of Haizhou commercial street is also from 2002 began to gradually prosper, now here has not really become the center of retail business, now people buy things the law is very single, very low-end to go to a variety of small markets, urban-rural junction, a little better to go to the department store, there are all kinds of stalls, sell anything, and then high-end, you have to go to the provincial capital.
So now on this commercial street, there are only a few specialty stores, as well as some slightly high-grade restaurants, and most of the shops are buying.
When he saw that there was a bottom merchant of more than 100 square meters, who was tearfully selling out-of-season wool pants, Li Mu laughed.
Outside the door, the words "Last Three Days!" were written on the large white paper, which was very eye-catching.
In Li Mu's impression, this kind of vendor generally rents a stall by day or week, and changes places with one shot, but now he has rented such a large and close to the city center, there is only one possibility, the rent of the shop is cheap.
It is no wonder that in 2001, Haizhou's economic development was still too backward, people's consumption concepts had not yet been cultivated, and even those who did business in the city had not yet figured out their heads.
Li Ning's store is now full of doors, his shoes are too expensive, in this era, he sells two or three hundred and one pairs, and the clothes are not cheap, unlike Baleno, his family's business is good, on the one hand, because Andy Lau advertises, on the other hand, because the price is more close to the people.
A pair of jeans is only 99 or 119, short-sleeved can be bought in their early 20s, and in winter, more than 100 and 200 can buy a cotton suit.
However, whether it is Li Ning or Baleno, or Shuangxing and Jeanswest, Li Mu has found a common feature: the store is too small.
Among several stores, the Shuangxing store is the smallest, with a width of five or six meters, a length of less than ten meters, and a great one of more than 50 square meters;
Baleno, Li Ning and Jeanswest are slightly larger, and most of their shops are double-door, with a length of nearly ten meters, but the depth is short, less than ten meters, and there are no 90 square meters when they are full;
Li Mu looked around and saw that the black strong male shopkeeper on the last day of tearfully selling cashmere pants was holding a cigarette with a bitter hatred on his face, so he went to the side to buy a pack of Chinese cigarettes and opened it, and walked to him.
"Hey, big brother, are you from Mongolia?" Li Mu set a trick.
"yes. When the man saw that Li Mu was a young man, he knew that he would definitely not buy his backlog of old cashmere pants, so he replied casually.
Li Mu immediately took out a cigarette, and the eye-catching red color made the middle-aged male shopkeeper stunned, and he exclaimed in his heart: At such a young age, it is really a luxury to smoke Great China!
When he was greedy, Li Mu just took out two and threw one to the other party, and sighed: "I have longed for Mongolia Province since I was a child, a good place!"
The middle-aged man took the Chinese cigarette thrown by Li Mu in the air with both hands, was excited, and immediately looked at Li Mu with admiration, anyway, he was idle, so he took out a lighter and lit a fire for Li Mu first.
Li Mu is also very well-behaved, seeing that the other party came to light a cigarette for himself, he protected the flame of the lighter with both hands to show respect.
The middle-aged man's impression of Li Mu was much better all of a sudden.
It's really rare for a local kid who smokes China to be so polite to himself, a trader who wanders all over the country all year round.
So, he lit his cigarette and took a beautiful puff: "Our Mongolian province is picturesque, and my brother must go to see it if he has the opportunity." ”
Li Mu nodded and asked curiously, "Big brother, are you from the Mongolian tribe?"
The man laughed and said, "That's right, Mongolian, my name is Bayan, a Blue Flag person." ”
Li Mu nodded: "Your kind of business should be very hard!"
Bayan sighed: "Who says it's not! I've been working for five years, and I've almost run all over China. ”
Li Mu smiled and asked, "Then how many days have you been in our Haizhou, how is the business?"
"Isn't it okay!" Bayan shook his head a little dissatisfied: "You people here, you are too picky, too much to bargain, those big brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts, holding fifty yuan a pair of cashmere pants, and still have to offer me five yuan..."
In the face of Bayan's complaints, Li Mu smiled, Haizhou people's consumption power is not high, not to mention that this kind of clothes worn in it cannot be sold at a high price, and the winter in Haizhou is not very cold, and cashmere pants are not a must-have thing for everyone.
Immediately, Li Mu asked the question he was concerned about: "This is our city center, it's quite expensive to rent such a storefront, right?"
"It's okay. Bayan dusted off his cigarette ashes: "Eighty yuan a day, I originally wanted to sell it here for a few days, but I didn't expect it to sell the goods." ”
This time it was Li Mu's turn to be surprised, eighty dollars a day, here is a look, three shops are connected, it is estimated that it will be one hundred and fifty or sixty square meters, but it is very messy inside, it seems that the previous decoration has just been demolished, and now there is nothing in it, except for a bunch of hanging cashmere pants, there are two sets of floor shops, which should be that Bayan and his wife slept by themselves.
"The rent here is not cheap, eighty yuan a day is really cheap. ”
Bayan shook his head: "I thought I was picking up a bargain at first, the owner of the sublease also told me that he used to do a cloth business here, but the landlord is going to raise the price this year, so he won't rent, just when he said that there is a cloth market opened, there is a lot of traffic there, he moved over, there is still more than a week left here, the real landlord of the house is about to take over, so he only rented it to me for 80 yuan a day." ”
Saying that, Bayan said mysteriously: "It is said that before it was only 5,000 yuan a month here, and the real landlord will rise to 7,000 this year!"
What Li Mu wanted was such information.
More than 7,000 yuan a month? I don't know if it's true or not, but if it's true, it's great.
But think about it, after all, the business is still in its infancy, the market outlook is uncertain, and the investment confidence is low, once the retail industry, especially the clothing business, starts to explode, the rent here will definitely skyrocket.
Bayan felt that Li Mu seemed to be very interested in this shop, and thought that he took the initiative to hand over the cigarette sleeve, so he asked, "Little brother, do you want to rent this shop?"
"Hmm. Li Mu didn't hide it either, and nodded.
Bayan stretched out his hand and removed the big sale words posted on the wall next to him, revealing a printed A4 piece of paper: Shop for Rent, 139 *****
Li Mu's eyes lit up, and he immediately took out his mobile phone and wrote it down, threw the rest of the cigarettes to Bayan, and said with a smile: "Brother Bayan, thank you." ”
Bayan didn't dare to accept it, and when he wanted to go back, Li Mu had already walked away.
He has no addiction to smoking in his life, smoking is not an essential thing for him, and it is harmful to his health, so if it is unnecessary, he can stop smoking or not.
