Chapter 4 Yin Gongzi
After staying at home for 3 months with nothing to do, Yin Kunpeng, who had just returned from Canada after the Chinese New Year this year, suddenly proposed to his father Yin Haoran that he wanted to start his own business, and he didn't want to work with others and look at people's faces. His father asked him to come to his company to work for his own people, but Yin Kunpeng just didn't want to, every day he drove the yellow Ferrari 458 that his grandmother gave him on his 20th birthday, with the waves of Xiao Chen Duoduo on the street, from Light on Hengshan Road to Sky on Yuyuan Road, from Starlight International on the Bund to Heaven and Earth on Xietu Road. There is not a day when I don't come back until the early hours of the morning, if my father says a few more words and is not doing his job, he will be scolded back by the grandmother who cares for him, the child has studied hard in Canada for so many years, and finally graduated and got the master's degree in financial management from the prestigious university you requested, and he began to nag after a few days of rest.
Unconsciously wasted 3 months, after returning to China in the past 3 months to the loss of pleasure, comfort, and extravagance in Canada in the past few years, all the pleasures, comfort, and extravagance were all made up, in this materialistic and drunken magic capital Shanghai, the young and handsome Yin Kunpeng soon became the owner of various high-end nightclubs and bars, VIP, Yin Gongzi. is such a person who doesn't know the joys and sorrows of the world, and suddenly one day he proposed to his grandmother that he wanted to open a café in the bar street, but he didn't think that his grandmother didn't want to agree to it.
Why did you choose to open on the bar street on Yongfu Road, don't you understand? Save rent, you must know that grandma has five storefront houses on Yongfu Road, which is where grandma lived when she was a child, and was later taken away by the government, but because grandma's family has a little background, after the end of the Cultural Revolution, with the help of many relatives and friends at home and abroad, she wanted to return to these five properties on Yongfu Road. Although the confiscated real estate is far more than these, but you must know that the five suites to be returned are located in the French Concession before the liberation, although each is a three-story wooden old house, but the first floor can be used as a façade for rent, the second and third floors can be used as warehouses and can also be inhabited, in Shanghai, the magic capital of every inch of land, the economic value can be imagined.
Now the total assets of these five suites are not even a fraction of the Hongqi Group of his father Yin Haoran, but there is an income of one or two million yuan every year from the rent alone. Therefore, grandma is the most vocal person in the family, grandma is angry, and the whole family dare not come out, but grandma's weakness is Yin Kunpeng, who made Yin Kunpeng the only grandson of grandma. Yin Haoran got married 3 times, only his eldest wife Huang Lihua gave birth to a son, and the other two wives gave birth to daughters, Yin Kunpeng has three younger sisters, the youngest one is only 9 years old, all of them are eccentric masters.
When I first returned to China, my grandmother felt sorry for her grandson, so she didn't pull Yin Kunpeng to live with her, and living with her grandmother meant living with her father's family. Although he doesn't like his father's eyes that despise him for doing nothing every day, and he doesn't like his mother's hypocritical face that stammers and flatters, Yin Kunpeng still walks in and out of this family arrogantly, because he has grandma as a backer. When he had no money to spend, he asked his grandmother, and his grandmother simply gave him a few super platinum cards, and his father quarreled with his grandmother a lot about this.
Maybe he was tired of playing, and suddenly one afternoon in a café on Wukang Road, Chen Duoduo drank a sweet latte, looked around at a circle of beauties chatting while drinking coffee, and affectionately said to Yin Kunpeng that we also open a café, now beauties love coffee, and we don't have to worry about not knowing more beauties after opening a café. After saying a word to Chen Duoduo, Yin Kunpeng found that this was not a bad idea, and didn't his father always say that he had nothing to do? The whole coffee shop also sells some cartoon-shaped and brightly colored desserts, and for Shanghainese people who love to drink coffee and eat desserts, they will not have to worry about running out of business. Besides, no matter how big the coffee shop is, it can be said that you can start your own business, and you don't have to look at the bitter gourd face of the father at home all day long.
Yin Gongzi decided to do what he said, first find a façade, the façade of the café does not need to be big, but there must be a certain number of office buildings around, the general consumer group of the café is white-collar, now which white-collar workers are not all carrying a cup of coffee to catch the subway, taking advantage of the cup of coffee before work to wake up to themselves. But after looking for a week, I found that the rent of any good location is usually ridiculously expensive, not only the rent is expensive, but also a transfer fee calculated from nowhere, Yin Gongzi calculated a café of only about 20 square meters, and the rent deposit transfer fee adds up to nearly 1 million. The 1 million yuan has to be earned back by selling how many cups of coffee, and the road of opening a café doesn't seem to work.
Just when Yin Kunpeng was about to give up opening a café and was about to find another way to start a business, he suddenly remembered that his grandmother seemed to have said that one of the five stores on Yongfu Road would be quit by the end of May.
When I discussed with my grandmother that I wanted a store on Yongfu Road to start my own business, my grandmother agreed without thinking about it, maybe she was really afraid that this baby grandson would not do his job every day and be spoiled by himself. Although Yin Gongzi has no experience in business, but fortunately, Chen Duoduo worked and studied in Japan when he was studying in Japan, and worked part-time in many coffee shops, and the decoration of the café this time is obviously with the style of Dongying, and the exterior wall of the café is painted with blue and white paint to depict a picture of Mt. Fuji hidden under the cherry blossoms, and the cherry blossoms are a bouquet of artificial cherry blossom trees hanging on the lintel. The interior of the café is very simple, the pure wooden tables, chairs and benches are all kept in the original color, from the kitchen, water bar, workbench to cake display cabinet, all bright and clean, neatly arranged, at a glance. From the design and decoration, the purchase of equipment, the recruitment of employees to the cleaning, a whole month later, located at No. 135 Yongfu Road, at the intersection of Dacheng Road, a coffee shop called "Beautiful Life" opened! On the opening day, the entrance of the coffee shop was full of flower baskets, and the store was crowded with people sitting and standing, and the two small bosses, Yin Kunpeng and Chen Duoduo, stood across the road to admire the rare masterpieces and appreciate the fruits of their labor in the past month.
In the first week of opening, there are still a few tables of customers in the store, but with the advent of hot weather, there are no pedestrians on the road at all, although the air conditioning in the coffee shop is turned on the maximum, and the music is soft jazz, but no customers come in! Business is guarded, Yin Kunpeng and Chen Duoduo have been comforting themselves like this, anyway, they don't have to worry about the rent, the two of them are comfortable playing computers in the store every day! Half a month after the coffee shop opened, Yin Gongzi moved out of his father's villa building in Qingpu Taihu Crescent City on the pretext of taking care of business, and found a three-bedroom apartment to rent in the Dijingyuan Garden on Dacheng Road, not far from the coffee shop, completely getting rid of his father's surveillance and his grandmother's nagging.
