Volume 1 1998 Chapter 49 The Courage to Give Up
After talking to Wu Tsering on the phone, Li Yuan quickly left the novel behind and focused on the affairs of the Internet café and the online school.
In terms of Internet cafes, Li Yuan finally listened to Guan Xuedao's advice and took a step back on the rent issue, increasing the annual rent from 100,000 yuan to 200,000 yuan per year.
The city agreed very happily, but Li Yuan knew in his heart that this was just the beginning.
Li Yuan has been in some trouble lately, and this trouble is brought about by the location of the Internet café.
When choosing a location, Li Yuan made a mistake of taking it for granted.
His idea was that the teaching building of the city technical school was empty anyway, and he rented the place, which was a matter of mutual benefit.
However, it turned out that this was just wishful thinking on his part.
Some people "would rather have the school building empty than be used for something unprofessional." ”
These are the original words of Hou Deqing, the former principal of the city's technical school and the current director of the Education Bureau.
There are many people who share the same view, including most of the original faculty and staff of the technical school.
At the beginning of the opening of the Internet café, these people did not take it seriously, but when they saw that the business of the Internet café was becoming more and more popular day by day, they were all red-eyed.
Guan Xuedao told Li Yuan that as early as the opening of the Internet café, Hou Deqing proposed at the city's work meeting that he would take back the site to engage in tertiary production - he didn't say it directly, but as long as you are not a fool, you can understand what he means.
Guan Xuedao was furious at that time, and severely criticized this kind of peach-picking remarks, saying that Hou Deqing was speechless, but Guan Xuedao could control other people's mouths, but he couldn't control other people's hands and feet.
Recently, from time to time, laid-off workers from technical schools have come to "ask for explanations." In a nutshell, since Internet cafes have rented the buildings of technical schools, they must help them solve their problems of work and food.
What kind of fallacy is this!
Li Yuan was very annoyed in his heart, but these people didn't fight or make trouble, Li Yuan couldn't pick up a stick to drive people away, so he had to talk patiently with the faculty representatives.
It's okay not to talk about it, but the more you talk about it, the worse it gets.
After Li Yuan was reborn, the road went very smoothly, and people who were familiar with him would unconsciously ignore his age, but these teachers and staff were not familiar with him, and when they saw that he was still a half-grown child, they suddenly had the idea that he was young and could be bullied.
Over the past few days, the requirements of the teaching staff have become more and more demanding, and Li Yuan's patience has gradually worn out.
Of course Li Yuan refuses to be slaughtered, he is open to do business, not to open a good hall, the other party said well, he is also willing to provide some help within his ability - for example, the online school teachers are tight, and it is not impossible to recruit a few teachers to come in for surprise training - but who wants to play scoundrels with him, then I'm sorry, there is no door!
Li Yuan had originally discussed with Ma Nan and was going to open additional English and arcane cram schools, but now he was unhappy, so the plan was put on hold.
He is determined to pull out a dime, but how to deal with these people, there is no good way for a while.
Huzi gave him a suggestion, saying that he would find some brothers to beat up the troublemakers, and if one time was not enough, he would do not dare to come again.
Li Yuan was kicked in the head by a donkey before he adopted his suggestion.
It is certainly not okay to beat people, because it not only invites disasters and causes trouble, but also does not solve the fundamental problem.
The fundamental problem now is that some people in the city are dissatisfied with Guan Xuedao, and they don't like Li Yuan. And these people are showmen, they are masters, if Li Yuan, a fart person, doesn't use extraordinary means, there is no way to take these people.
Li Yuan even suspected that Hou Deqing only played the role of a saddle in this matter, and the real driving force behind the scenes was someone else.
For example, Jingyang.
Li Yuan's suspicion of Jing Yang is not groundless.
First of all, Jing Yang has complained about the rent of online schools.
Secondly, Li Yuan designed Yuan Dali, giving people the feeling that a dog is nosy with a mouse, and Jing Yang's heart must be very uncomfortable.
In the end, Guan Xuedao was out of the limelight as soon as he came, which probably made Jing Yang feel unhappy.
……
Li Yuan couldn't be sure of Jing Yang's attitude for a while, although Hou Deqing jumped out publicly, but judging from the background materials he learned, this person didn't have much to grasp.
Even if Hou Deqing had a problem, Li Yuan would not be able to engage him at this time. Taking advantage of this kind of thing, it makes sense once or twice, and if you do it again, you will be angry, not to mention him, even Guan Xuedao can't bear it.
In this case, Li Yuan had no better way but to ask Qiao Ruonan for help.
……
Qiao Ruonan's health care product business has been getting better and better recently, and every time he mentions celebrity endorsements, he feels emotional.
She spent 300,000 yuan on asking Zhao Wei to do product endorsement, but now she has made a lot of money.
After the premiere of Huanzhu, the domestic ratings record was broken, the audience responded enthusiastically, and the value of celebrities increased day by day, which brought about a surge in sales of Yisheng jujube oral liquid, almost reaching the point where it could be sold out on the same day it was put on the shelves.
received a call from Li Yuan and heard about his difficulties, Qiao Ruonan didn't say a word and threw a few people over to him.
……
Feng Wan is Qiao Ruonan's alumnus and best friend when she studied in the United States, and in Qiao Ruonan's words, she is a public relations master.
Feng Wan is one year younger than Qiao Ruonan, she studied economics, and after returning to China, she was pulled into her company by Qiao Ruonan, responsible for marketing and business public relations. She looks delicate, but her aura is very strong, and her eyebrows and eyes always exude strong confidence.
Of course, there is also a saying that women who still wear stockings and high heels in winter have much stronger self-confidence than ordinary women.
"I've always heard Ruonan say that her little brother is handsome, and today I realized that she didn't brag. ”
Feng Wan crossed Erlang's legs, sat on the sofa in the online school office, and said to Li Yuan with a smile.
"Sister Feng shouldn't have brought the entire department over, right?"
Feng Wan was not the only one who came. Li Yuan counted it, counting Feng Wan, Qiao Ruonan threw a total of eight people at him.
"Your sister said that you are short of people here, and the marketing department has nothing to do recently, so I happened to come and go. ”
"No, seeing that the end of the year is over, the marketing department will have nothing to do?"
"You don't know what you came up with?"
Feng Wan rolled her eyes: "In the past, when we went out to run the market, no one cared about it, but now it's different, put the product on the other party's table, and rush at Zhao Wei's face, saving everything." ”
Li Yuan nodded again and again when he heard this, now is the most exaggerated period of star effect, and a popular advertising spokesperson is indeed worth a thousand words.
……
Li Yuan told Feng Wan about the problems he had faced recently, and Feng Wan did not rush to speak after listening.
Li Yuan didn't urge her, and chatted with a few other people.
To be honest, Qiao Ruonan gave him a surprise this time.
The biggest difficulty Li Yuan is facing now is not that someone is making trouble, but that there is no one under his hands. Qiao Ruonan was named in the Internet café, but it was Li Yuan and Ma Nan who really did things, although they recruited a few people later, they did some work such as receiving cashiers, and there was no one who could really fight well.
The people Qiao Ruonan sent to Li Yuan, although they are engaged in marketing, they have comprehensive abilities, such as Wang Jie is a student of accounting, Zhou Xin is a student of management, and Lu Xiaoyan is a student of business English...... To be honest, these people are overkill in marketing, and I don't know how Qiao Ruonan saved such a good deck of cards.
No matter what, when people come to Li Yuan, don't think about running away.
Li Yuanxing called Ma Nan in a hurry and asked him to help a few people arrange accommodation.
"Tomorrow and New Year's Day, there will be three days of vacation in a row, the online school will not open, let Ma Nan take you around, we have a lot of places to play in Yingzhou......"
Li Yuan thought that Ma Nan hadn't enjoyed a holiday seriously since he came to Yingzhou, so he simply took this opportunity to take a holiday.
"What about the Internet café? Can you manage it alone?" asked Ma Nan.
"Aren't the old guys of Brother Jun going to open an Internet café, let them come and watch, and let them learn from the experience by the way, lest people say that we are petty. ”
Ma Nan was speechless and said, "You are not afraid that the guests will be abducted." ”
"What are you afraid of, the Internet café was originally an expedient measure, if it weren't for the fact that the income is okay now, I would want to transfer out. ”
……
"You're not going to do it forever?"
Feng Wan, who had been silent, suddenly asked.
"Well, the main reason for opening an Internet café is to make a quick buck. ”
"In that case, why don't you sell it now?" Feng Wan said: "I've thought about it, you are a big tree now, ordinary public relations methods are useless, even if the problem is solved temporarily, someone will still jump out to block you after a while." In that case, it's better to give up altogether. ”
"Give up ......"
Li Yuan's eyes showed hesitation.
He did think about this problem, and said that the gun shot the first bird, and his bird was too dazzling in the eyes of outsiders, plus there were many rights and wrongs in the Internet café, and I don't know how much trouble there would be if I resisted.
However, it is easier said than done.
First of all, the profitability of Internet cafes is really good, and every day it is overcrowded, and it is all money.
Secondly, the stall he worked so hard to set up was tossed and couldn't be done, and he also had resentment in his heart.
"Internet cafes are easy to say, but online schools are not easy to run......
Li Yuan reluctantly found a reason to convince himself to persevere.
What he didn't expect was that Ma Nan also persuaded him: "Actually, the problem of online schools is very easy to handle, anyway, the content we teach doesn't need to be connected to the Internet, so it's a big deal to rent a place and start again......
"What if someone asks for a refund?"
Li Yuan asked, and without waiting for Ma Nan to answer, he gritted his teeth and replied himself: "Then return it to them!"
"It's really not fun to hold on. Ma Nan then added: "And other people want to open the computer, and they have to find us to build a computer, didn't Brother Jun tell you to buy a computer?"
"So, I don't seem to have anything to lose?"
Li Yuan laughed.
He looked at Ma Nan, then at Feng Wan, and asked, "You can't achieve collusion, right?"
"See?"
Feng Wan also laughed.
"I had a phone call with Ma Nan yesterday, and I actually understood the situation for a long time...... To do business, you have to know how to give up, before you came, your sister told me that you are just greedy and can't chew too much, and now it seems that you are not too stupid. ”
Li Yuan didn't expect her to say this, so he was stunned for a moment and asked, "What if I refuse to give up?"
"If you don't give up, of course I'll try to help you solve the problem, but it's over. ”
"You mean, you're going to stay and help me?" Li Yuan asked in surprise when he heard the sound outside the strings.
"It depends on your ability to keep people. ”
Feng Wan smiled slyly: "Your sister is so busy herself, and she sent us over to help you, I always want to see if you are worthy of our help." As for them, it's up to you to keep them......"
