"Boss, let's go back and discuss it and come back tomorrow. ”

After saying this, the old gun and the second fat man forcibly put Li Tong out of the storefront.

The boss looked at the figures of the three people in the distance, shook his head and sighed: "Hey, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, I don't know how difficult business is!"

As soon as he returned to the villa, Lao Gun and Er Fat pressed Li Tong on the sofa in the living room, didn't let him say a word, and took turns brainwashing him.

"Li Tong, we have no objection to you opening a café! However, you must at least open it in a place like 798, which has something to do with art. ”

"That's it, how did you choose Sanlitun. In that place, except for the smell of copper, it is the smell of women's perfume, how can anyone understand art?"

"Li Tong, you don't really want to turn to business, do you?"

"Li Tong, although I am a second fat person who studies design, I am also a person with pursuits. If you're really reduced to being self-employed, my brother will consider finding another job right now. “

"Yes. I'm going back to work as an art teacher, at least I can still draw in that job. “

The old gun and the second fat questioned Li Tong word by word.

Li Tong didn't want to explain more, because he had been thinking about opening a café for a long time, and it was not a whim at all.

The reason why Sanlitun was chosen is simply because it is the most prosperous business district in Beijing, and it wants the flow of people.

Why not choose an art district like 798?

This is because since the last Shoubo's urinal incident, Li Tong has understood a truth:

The so-called artists, people in the art circle, when they accept new art forms, are not as good as ordinary people.

The aesthetics of ordinary people are a blank slate compared to artists, and as long as your work can bring them beauty, they will quickly accept it.

And for those self-cherished artists and students in the art circle, you have to break the inherent aesthetic system in their hearts before you can spread your artistic ideas to their minds, which is no easier than spreading them to the general public.

Li Tong chose the coffee shop in Sanlitun this time, he made it clear that his audience was ordinary citizens, and he aesthetically wanted to take the road of "the countryside surrounding the city".

Let's start with people who don't have a lot of aesthetic knowledge.

Moreover, if Li Tong's art wants to have long-term vitality, it must still rely on the spontaneous dissemination of commerce.

It's like Li Tong casually bragging on the Internet that the apple he painted is beautiful, but it is not as cognitive as Jobs's bitten apple to the public.

"Don't worry. Cafes must be opened, and art must be continued. Li Tong explained to Erpang and Lao Gun, "Let's open the store first, and the road must be taken step by step." ”

Seeing Li Tong's serious expression, Lao Gun really wasn't joking.

He lowered his head and thought about it, in the final analysis, the money belonged to Li Tong, and he could spend it as he wanted.

He has 100 million and can afford to fail.

And what Lao Gun and Er Fat paid with him was just some insignificant physical strength and the feeling of loss after occasional setbacks.

Since Li Tong has this ideal, it is better to let him try it once.

"Erfat, why don't we try it with Li Tong?" said the old gun.

Erpang thought for a while: "Okay! But the decoration of the café must not be lo, anyway, I also learn design!"

Li Tong lowered his head and smiled: "Cheng Cheng Cheng, you are invincible in learning design!"

Early the next morning, Li Tong found the store again and talked to the boss about the transfer.

When the boss saw that Li Tong was here again today, he knew that he would not give up, so he persuaded him as if he had done a good deed: "Young man, what kind of store do you want to open here? If you are in the clothing business like me, I think you should be exempt." I've been running this shop for 12 years, and it's not like it's going to fall. ”

"I don't run a clothing store, I run a café. Li Tong said confidently.

"That's even more so. The boss shook his head, "In the twelve years I've been here, the surrounding cafes have closed on and off, or at least four or five of them. The rent here is so expensive, and selling coffee is a small profit. Young man, if you really want to start a business, I advise you to find a place with cheap rent and try it first. ”

"Money is not an issue. Li Tong thanked the boss for his kind reminder, but he rented this shop.

The boss looked at Li Tong suspiciously, he was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday.

"Oh well. The transfer fee is 2.5 million, and not a penny is missing. The boss said without any hope.

"Okay. You call the landlord over, and we'll transfer it now. Li Tongdao.

There is no way, the boss doesn't know whether Li Tong is true or not, whether it is true or not. So with the attitude of giving it a try, I dialed the landlord's phone.

As soon as the landlord heard that someone was going to rent his shop, he immediately rushed to the house.

This shop has been transferred for six months, and now the real economy is not doing well, although this is the boundary of Sanlitun, but because the landlord is asking too high, it has not been able to be transferred.

Those who want to rent can't afford to rent, and those who can afford to rent have this spare money, it's better to speculate in stocks to make money quickly.

"No. Check for 2,500,000,000 and you take it. Landlord, let's sign a separate rental contract. ”

Li Tong didn't talk nonsense, and a check for 2.5 million yuan was placed on the cash register.

When the boss saw the check for 2.5 million yuan, he picked it up and looked at the fluorescent tube, and he was afraid that it was fake.

He couldn't believe that a person as young and dressed as ordinary as Li Tong could take out such a large sum of money in an instant without blinking his eyes.

"How many years are you going to sign?" the landlord looked like an old gun, with a bite of Beijing films.

"Let's sign it once a year. Pay three bets on one. Li Tongdao.

The landlord laughed: "Young man, you haven't done business at first glance, have you? It's not okay to pay three bets on one. ”

"He's never done business. "The second fat is lacking, and he actually showed the landlord his hole card at this time.

The old gun glared at him fiercely, didn't the second fat tell the landlord that Li Tong was a fat sheep, could he slaughter it casually?

I'm really not afraid of god-like opponents, but I'm afraid of pig-like teammates.

They are all from the capital, how come these two fat people are not contaminated with chicken thieves at all?

"How much do you want?" asked Li Tong.

"You pay it annually. The landlord laughed.

Li Tong turned around and left, this landlord is not authentic, and he treats himself as two hundred and five.

Seeing that Li Tong was really in a hurry, the landlord hurriedly stopped him and said, "Pay six and one." ”

Li Tong stopped his steps and happily signed a contract with the landlord.

When the landlord saw that the contract was signed, he put away his share, and half-jokingly and half-seriously warned Li Tongdao: "Young man, our contract is for one year, and when the time comes, it will be up to you whether your business is good or not, and I will collect the rent for the second half of the year." Don't think about it, since I can rent a house in this forty-nine city, you can weigh it yourself. ”

At this time, the boss who went to the next bank to verify the check also returned.

He packed up the last bit of things, patted Li Tong on the shoulder and said, "Young man, the real economy is really not easy to do. Take it easy and ask for more blessings. ”

Li Tong didn't squeak, and watched the boss walk away with three oversized snakeskin bags on his back.

"Success, you will pay the rent to my account within three days. The landlord said he was leaving.

At this time, Er Fat asked Li Tongdao: "Tongzi, what is the name of our café?"

Li Tong casually blurted out: "Impression Cafe".
