It may have been two o'clock in the middle of the night, and I still didn't feel sleepy, so I sent a message back to Jin Qiu: "I'm okay here, you also pay attention to your body in Nanjing, don't always work overtime and stay up late." ”

"Well, when I'm done with this time, I'm going to take a good rest for a while...... It's not early, you go to bed quickly. ”

"Okay, good night."

"Good night."

After ending the conversation with Jin Qiu, I was sure that no one in my circle of friends would still be awake, and it was time for me to sleep...... I turned off the air conditioner before going to bed, I was afraid that Shanghai, where the rain had not stopped, would become very cold in the morning, and there was no thicker quilt here in Jinqiu except for an air-conditioned quilt.

Maybe it was because I slept too late, I slept until almost noon the next day, I woke up a little dizzy, I shouldn't have drunk so much beer with Liu Liu, I told myself from the moment I got on the train to Shanghai, don't live too debauched here.

I got up and washed, then packed my luggage, then sat on the sofa with my wallet, and then looked at the only 300 yuan left in it and wondered, how can I live in this city with such a high consumption?

Looking for a wedding-related job for the time being? Or, who to borrow money with and find a good project to do?

I sat for a moment, thoughtless, ordered a takeout online, lit myself a cigarette while waiting, and looked at the building opposite......

Living in the opposite window of my house was a young couple with a double happiness on the window of their house that had not yet faded. The two of them made a lunch, and the wafting aroma and the sound of rain were about to torture my single dog.

I closed my eyes and smiled, opened the white lunch box again, and ate my first lunch after returning to Shanghai.

During the meal, I received a call from Qiao Ye, who told me that Yang Jin had signed a contract with their family to build a hotel, and he expressed his gratitude to me, thanking me for giving him a chance to prove himself, and also thanking me for contributing to the society, so that those college students who have just graduated have a stage to display their talents......

I hurriedly stopped him, I couldn't stand such thanks, at this time I couldn't even take care of myself, and I still talked about contributing to society.

Qiao Ye said again: When he is free, he and Qin Miao will come to Shanghai to invite me to dinner. I stopped him again because I didn't want to see them, and I couldn't stand people in pairs in front of me.

Qiao Ye scolded me for being sick, and I didn't care, because I would rather be sick than provoke those young couples who could show affection at any time.

After hanging up Qiao Ye's phone, I smiled again, in fact, I was quite happy for them; At the same time, it also gave me a little confidence not to indulge in depression too much, because some seemingly impossible situations will also be changed imperceptibly. Just like Qiao Ye and Qin Miao, in the past, who would have believed that they would have today, but today they just fell in love with each other in common adversity, and supported each other to manage a group......

I can see that Qiao Ye has changed and has begun to identify with Qin Miao's values. That's why now he will do his best for the group's affairs. This is undoubtedly a sign of loving someone...... I'm the same, or I'll stay in Shanghai and learn to play guitar with Liu Liu. I just want to get closer to Xiao Ai, at least mentally...... I don't want her to be moved, I just want her to know that I can't bear to forget her, to forget every moment we have experienced together. I love the way she laughs, and I love her crying, because they are all beautiful, and she is the most extraordinary melody in my heart!

……

After eating this lunch alone, I walked on the crowded street with an umbrella, I wanted to see the Huangpu River, and I wanted to see those old buildings in the Republic of China. These are all things I missed the last time I came to Shanghai because I wasn't in the mood.

Standing on the edge of the Huangpu River with an umbrella, looking at the boats drifting on the river, and the people who are working hard, except for breathing, I don't feel the slightest sense of existence, as if I am a brick in those buildings, standing on the winding river, seeing through the world, no matter how painful the wind and rain hit me, I feel very indifferent.

Perhaps, this is the feeling of a person in a strange city, and I just entered a kind of sage mode in the noise coming from all directions.

I don't know what kind of endurance I had to stand alone on the Huangpu River for a long time, and when I returned to my accommodation, it was completely dark, and I asked for a bowl of shrimp dumplings and a few siu mai at a roadside stall, and the rain never stopped, dripping down the eaves rhythmically...... The temperature has really dropped a lot, and I saw a lot of passers-by wearing long-lost coats, but there are still some girls who love beauty, walking on the street in long skirts a little out of place, but it makes the men think about it......

Yes, I'm trying to find the joy of living alone...... It wasn't until a car with a foreign license plate was parked on the side of the road and the people inside opened the window to ask me for directions that I came back to my senses.

I looked around, shook my head and said to him, "I'm also from outsider, and I just arrived in Shanghai yesterday...... You can go to the front and ask someone else. ”

The man in the car asked me again, "Dude, is your wonton delicious?" …… I came from Xuzhou, and I didn't eat well after driving for a day. ”

"Then you come down and eat some, the tea eggs here are good."

The Xuzhou man then turned off the car and sat down across from me with his wallet. Like me, he asked for shrimp dumplings, siu mai and a few tea eggs.

He complained to me: "This navigation is really unreliable now, I was about to go to the hotel, but I was cheated to this place!" ”

I reassured, "It's not that far from the highway, so you didn't take a detour...... You get out of this alley and head to the east avenue, where there are quite a few hotels. ”

The man said again, "Forget it, I'd better go find the hotel I booked...... There is a parking space reserved for me there, and if I live here, I will have to find a new parking space if I don't have a parking space...... Really, it's not that I'm hypocritical, if it weren't for business in Shanghai, I really wouldn't want to come...... Every time I find a parking space, it's like a terrible thing, even if there is a parking space, it's still small, and I can't see it! Last time, my wife and a few of her girlfriends drove my car to Shanghai to play, but because the parking space was too small and the technology was not good, they rubbed a Ferrari next to me...... If it weren't for the insurance, it would be really distressing to pay for it. ”

I looked at his Toyota Sequoia, smiled and replied, "Actually, it's still very good to park, mainly your car is a bit big!" ”

He teased and said: "I think that Shanghai is too expensive, even if you make thousands of dollars a year here, you may not be as comfortable as a small boss in a third- or fourth-tier city!" ”

I just smiled, did not respond to his words, and then focused on the passing vehicles, probably intentionally, in just five minutes, I actually saw 6 cars with Jiangsu license plates passing by here, and instantly remembered that this place is very close to one of the exits of Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway, and there are so many cars with Jiangsu license plates passing by, which is a reasonable thing.

In the process of thinking about things, the brother from Xuzhou had already finished eating the wontons, and I hurriedly said to him: "Brother, I want to ask you a question...... As someone who comes to Shanghai from other places to do business, what are your needs for accommodation? ”

He seemed to have suffered many losses in accommodation, so he replied without thinking: "That's a great question...... Take me as an example, I'm not afraid to spend money in a hotel, and there is nothing wrong with a five-star one...... However, Shanghai is really too big, and the road conditions are complicated, if you drive by yourself, you will accidentally take a fork in the road, delay time, and it is easy to violate traffic rules...... Last year, I received more than a dozen tickets for a car in Shanghai...... So from my personal point of view, I hope that there will be a reliable hotel under the highway, the hotel specifications should not be low, and the parking should be convenient...... Entertainment facilities should also be complete. ”

Suddenly I had a very clear idea of starting a business in my head, and I saw a huge business opportunity on this road near the highway exit, which was extremely large and could have been overlooked by others.

I quickly and mentally analyzed the consumption characteristics of such people. They are driving from other places, and having a car means that they have a certain financial ability, so if the market is subdivided into them, they basically belong to relatively high-quality customers, and the volume is very large...... Because the connection between Shanghai and Jiangsu is so close, it can be said that there are countless Jiangsu people who choose to drive to Shanghai every day. If I can firmly grasp their consumer demand and build a hotel near here, will it have a great market prospect?

I thought of the old factory that Yao Yu once bought, although its location is very partial, but from one of the exits of the Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway, it is about ten kilometers away, and because it is a suburb, there are no traffic lights along the way, it can be said that it is unimpeded, for people with cars, it takes ten minutes to get off the highway, and there is a particularly large open space in the yard of the factory, if it is planned, there is no problem with delineating one or two hundred parking spaces, which can fully meet the parking needs of target customers.

At this time, I finally believed what Jin Qiu said last night. Indeed, as long as you are bold and careful enough in Shanghai, you will definitely find business opportunities. I'm glad that Yao Yao has such a factory that hasn't been sold...... It looks wasteful, but when you find the right positioning, it's also valuable, and that's the magic of marketing creativity, it can really turn decay into magic!

I am even more glad to be able to meet this buddy from Xuzhou today, who gave me this entrepreneurial idea.

This time, I don't play literature and art, I don't play with feelings, I just want to do a good job of service, and then make good money...... However, I was not carried away, and if I really wanted to do it, I still faced a lot of difficulties. For example, funds, for example, Yao Yu's willingness to cooperate with my ideas...... What's even more difficult is that once the hotel is built, can it be developed according to my ideas? …… Sometimes, there is a big difference between wanting to do it and actually doing it. I'm not sure I'll be able to succeed, but that doesn't affect the momentum that swells in my heart at all......

………………

Thank you for supporting me even when I was at a low point in my writing...... Thanks also to those who scolded while watching. Although you are disgusting, it also makes me feel like relatives, because there will always be people who are dissatisfied and scolded when a book is written. Without you, it wouldn't be a complete book.
