Chapter 16: The single boss helps the seawater shop, and the small boss suffers a loss

Liu Xiaole took the money as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, rushed to Li Yi's store, and said the first thing he said when he entered the door: "Sister, keep the store for me." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo”

Li Yi looked up and wondered, "How did you get the money?" ”

Liu Xiaole took out his bank card and said, "Well, 350,000." ”

Li Yi was stunned and surprised: "How did you get it, you won't do anything illegal~~." ”

Liu Xiaole said: "Sister, where do you want to go, I sold a fish." Haha got rich. ”

Li Yi was even more confused and said, "What fish sold for 350,000." ”

Liu Xiaole said: "You don't care what kind of fish, in short, the money is in hand, and it is legal." ”

After explaining for a long time, Li Yicai called Zhang Sheng suspiciously, and the two sides signed a contract.

Monday

Liu Xiaole looked at the location of the store and was full of praise, he even doubted whether Li Yi was the second wife of Zhang Zhi at this time, plus Li Yitian was beautiful, Zhang Sheng was the kind of stable middle-aged man, not to mention that the second wife was at least a little lover. Otherwise, who would have sold her such a big face.

Of course, Liu Xiaole can't think about these now, because the rent is just asking for a moratorium, not in vain, so at this time Liu Xiaole is already in debt of hundreds of thousands, and what he needs to think about now is how to run the store well and take off the hat of "negative second generation".

Of course, Liu Xiaole, who should be polite, should still be polite.

Liu Xiaole walked up to Li Yiyi, who was hugging his shoulders and looking around: "Thank you Sister Li for taking care of you." ”

Li Yi snorted and said, "If you know, you can do it well and pay it back as soon as possible." ”

Liu Xiaole said: "I know sister, I will definitely not be able to treat you badly." ”

After the excitement, Liu Xiaole began to worry, although the temple was built, but what about the monk? Now except for the storefront, any other hardware is not in place.

After thinking for a while, Liu Xiaole suddenly remembered a person, that is, the owner of the Shan Clan Shui Clan whom the Fight Club knew, Shan Wei.

Dialed the phone, and after a few beeps inside, Shan Wei's voice came out, "Which one?" ”

Liu Xiaole said politely: "May I ask if it is Mr. Shan?" ”

There was a pause on the other side, obviously wary of the strange number, "Well, I am, are you?" ”

"Oh hello, I'm the one we practice martial arts with, Liu Xiaole."

Hearing this, the tone on the other side changed: "Liu Xiaole~!" It turned out to be you, why did you remember to call me, what's the matter, do you need our buddy? ”

Liu Xiaole said: "This time I really asked my brother for help." ”

Shan Wei said: "Let's say, as long as my brother can help, it's no problem." ”

Liu Xiaole said: "I'm going to open an aquarium shop, and I want to ask you to be a staff officer." ”

In fact, Liu Xiaole said this with a little weakness, as the saying goes: "peers are enemies" is very likely to poke him off on the other side. But what Liu Xiaole didn't expect was that Shan Wei agreed without even calling, and said, "Okay, where are you, I'll look for you." ”

Liu Xiaole said the address, and within a few minutes, Shan Wei pushed the door into the house in a hurry, and said, "Amazing, brother, this place can be rented by you, you are a local tyrant." ”

Liu Xiaole smiled bitterly: "I can't afford to rent, this is what someone borrowed from me, and I will pay the rent when I earn money." ”

Shan Wei asked, "Who, your father?" ”

Liu Xiaole was almost sprayed by this sentence, and said: "Your father~!" ”

Shan Wei smiled: "Joke, joke." After saying that, he walked around twice and said: "The location here is very good, it belongs to the faΓ§ade of the shopping mall, you must not be able to sell ordinary fish, even if you don't pay for death, it is a big scene." ”

Liu Xiaole said: "Yes, the problem is that I know what to sell to have a faΓ§ade and make money." ”

Shan Wei said: "The cost of Arowana is too high, and the water is too deep, not suitable for you, if you want me to say, you might as well try saltwater fish, the ornamental value is strong, and the benefits are also good." ”

Seawater? Most of Liu Xiaole's contact with freshwater fish is really not much, so he asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Shan Wei said: "It's the corals and fish in the ocean, put them in the fish tank and raise them." ”

In fact, Liu Xiaole has heard of these, and what he wants to know now is how much investment is needed.

Liu Xiaole said: "How much do you have to invest in the early stage?" ”

Shan Wei said: "The equipment, decoration and purchase are estimated to be about 300,000 yuan. ”

Shan Wei continued: "But that's all basic, a good store like yours must not enter those low-level basic LPS (soft coral) SPS (hard coral), not to mention the ash level, it must be a quasi-ash level." One million is enough~! ”

Liu Xiaole interrupted: "Yes, let's not mention the advanced first, I almost put my life into the 300,000 yuan, I'd better go step by step." ”

Shan Wei said: "Then where is it, such a good position, you put out some basic things, isn't that a tyrannical thing, you really want to spoil the scenery." ”

Liu Xiaole said: "I only know that the money I have on hand is only enough to spoil the scenery." ”

Shan Wei said: "It's okay, you don't have enough for me to help you." ”

Liu Xiaole said: "Forget it, I can't afford it." ”

Shan Wei said, "Cut, that's because you don't know how to operate, and no one can accompany anyone in this shop, so I'll tell you that you can buy jeep cars next year by selling cow dung, let alone saltwater fish." ”

Li Yi frowned when he heard this, and seeing that Li Yi's face was not good, Liu Xiaole carefully reminded: "The more you talk, the more you get down." ”

Shan Wei didn't seem to realize that there were already people around him who were unhappy, and then said: "Xiaole, how about it, I'll help you with the equipment or something, and you will return it to me next year when you make money." ”

Liu Xiaole said: "You are not afraid that I will run away." ”

Shan Wei looked at the storefront and said, "You hurry up, you want to run with the front foot, and I will rent it with the back foot." ”

"You're really a profiteer~!"

Liu Xiaole weighed the stakes, thought for a while and said, "Then I might as well be respectful and obey?" ”

Shan Wei stretched out a hand and said, "That's it." ”

Liu Xiaole held Shan Wei's hand and said; "Happy cooperation~!"

After negotiating, Shan Wei finally noticed Li Yi beside him, and secretly said that he was beautiful, and then sneakily came to Liu Xiaole's ear and said, "You are good~!" ”

Liu Xiaole squirted out all the mineral water in his mouth with a puff and coughed repeatedly.

"Where do you want to go, it's not, it's my boss."

Shan Wei smiled playfully, signaling that Liu Xiaole didn't need to say much, he understood everything.

Liu Xiaole is depressed, you understand something, it's not what you think.

Li Yi also seemed to have noticed what the two said, and looked at Shan Wei with a displeased face, Shan Wei shrank his head and stopped talking.

A few days later, the store began to be renovated, the equipment was in, and under the guidance of professionals, it was soon open for business. So far, Liu Xiaole has finally taken a big step in his career.

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, even if it is a good location, it is very difficult to operate without a certain influence, and for a period of time, the aquarium did not make much profit, deducting water and electricity, barely flat.

As time passed, the old problems were not solved, and new sources reappeared. The current goods are all transferred from Shan Wei Company, Liu Xiaole is not the kind of person who has a big face and does not have enough advantages, and taking goods from other companies, there is always a feeling of sending people under the fence, so he decided to contact the supplier himself and open up the purchase channel.

Marine fish suppliers are concentrated in the south, and most of the delivery methods rely on mail, and some fishery owners sell bad or even deboned corals to buyers with shoddy quality, so there is a certain risk in this.

The suppliers of the fishery will regularly issue fish lists, because the goods on the list are significantly lower than the market price, so the quality of the inside can be imagined, and these are mainly aimed at relatively low-end buyers or beginners, except for speculators and dreamers, the nature is similar to Zhou Yu's yellow cover, whether it is a buyer or a supplier is tacit.

And during this period, there are also some fish that have slipped through the net, boutiques, the best and even the best. This requires the buyer's eyesight and luck, and sometimes a gamble.

Of course, gambling here is completely different from gambling on stones and jade, gambling stones can be described as a knife in heaven and a knife in hell, winning to heaven and losing to hell. And the most here is how the hair color, what the state, and what the quality is, and the worst result is that it will be transported to the house and die, and the loss will be eighteen thousand.

At present, Liu Xiaole only sells soft corals (LPS), which are simple and cheap to raise. So you need to gamble, and it's a big gamble.

Dididi, the chat window on the computer pops up a dialog box sent by the fishery owner.

Looking at the cabbage-like quotation list and the exquisite coral photos, Liu Xiaole couldn't hold back his emotions, and put Shan Wei's repeated instructions for online shopping to be gambling, and the transaction needed to be cautious and thrown out of the clouds, and placed an order of 30,000 yuan in one go.

Sure enough, after this batch of goods arrived at the store, Liu Xiaole was dumbfounded, and the corals in the packaging bags were very different from those in the photos.

At first, Liu Xiaole thought he had been fooled, but after carefully comparing the pictures, he found that these corals were indeed sent to him by the fishery, but the colors were very different.

But the color alone is the sentence of these corals to death, soft coral color represents everything, decolorized or not outstanding, no matter how good the state performance is, it is worthless garbage in the eyes of some players, and can only be reduced to low-grade goods to some beginners.

In the end, Liu Xiaole did not pick out a single coral with good performance in this batch of corals. This gambling can be said to be a loss that can no longer be accompanied, and 30,000 yuan was instantly lost.

Liu Xiaole was very annoyed, looked at the dead coral in the exhibition tank and said angrily: "Why is this picture so different from reality~!" ”

At this time, a clerk said: "Boss, that's for sure, the difference between the pixels of the camera and the light is absolutely different, it is a blank piece of paper, which can be illuminated with all colors under the harmony of lighting and photography technology, not to mention the coral itself with a little color." ”

I heard that Liu Xiaole took out his mobile phone, set the lights in several gears, took pictures separately, and then asked several clerks to take pictures with different mobile phones.

At this time, Liu Xiaole realized that he had been fooled by lighting and photography technology.

"Once I was bitten by a snake for ten years, I was afraid of the well rope." Of course, Liu Xiaole was not willing to suffer a loss, and spent a lot of money to buy cameras of various brands, including SLR cameras, point-and-shoot digital cameras, and so on.

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, this is Liu Xiaole's style of doing things, although it cost tens of thousands, but the money spent today is to shed less "blood" in the future, and these money are worth it in Liu Xiaole's opinion.

Monday

The mall is unusually deserted, and the front door of the aquarium store is full of birds.

Liu Xiaole clicked the shutter on the coral in the exhibition tank, and there were various cameras scattered on the table next to him

Shan Wei pushed the door into the room, was startled by this situation, and said, "I said, you are a little out of business here?" ”

Liu Xiaole ignored him and continued to take pictures, Shan Wei was no longer bored when he encountered indifference, he just picked up a few cameras and played with them, after shooting the last coral, Liu Xiaole entered the photos into the computer, looked at the exquisite coral photos, Shan Wei nodded with his hands behind his back and said: "Yes, yes, the technology is good." ”

Liu Xiaole pointed to a very beautiful button coral and said, "How about you look at this?"

Shan Wei said: "Not bad"

Liu Xiaole ordered another one, Shan Wei still felt good, and finally Liu Xiaole printed out these photos with a print, handed them to Shan Wei, pointed to the fish tank that was only 60 square meters over there, and said, "You go and find the coral here." ”

Shan Weile said contemptuously: "It's not easy. ”

Then he took the photo and went to find it, but after a few minutes, Shan Wei's brows became heavier and heavier, and he turned his head to Liu Xiaole and said, "You tease me, there is no here." ”

Liu Xiaole walked over, picked up the photo, pointed to a white brain coral on the side and said, "No, this is it." ”

Shan Wei picked up a comparison, "Yo, it's not, it's just that the color is too far apart."

Liu Xiaole ordered a few more photos for him, all of which were very different from the photos, and said, "I entered this batch of corals a few days ago." ”

Then you handed the photo of the store to Shan Wei and said: "Look, I suffered from the loss of lights and cameras, and entered these decolorized garbage." Let me lose 30,000 fast. ”

Shan Wei reproached a little: "I didn't tell you, you must be careful." ”

Liu Xiaole said: "Hey, admit it, let's eat a trench and grow a wisdom." ”

Shan Wei sighed and asked carefully: "What does that brother mean, shoot it out and continue to sell it to others." ”

"I'm not so shameless, I just want to make myself have a memory, I want to use different cameras, lights, and shoot corals in different states, accumulate experience, and strive to avoid risks to a great extent in the future."

Shan Wei was surprised: ", buddy, you are really a demon, I didn't expect you to study the Tao to this point." ”

Liu Xiaole said: "There are a few people like you who are so worry-free." ”

Shan Wei said: "Hey, indeed, my brother is right, I should make up for the lesson, but brother, don't eat alone when you receive the best in the future, our family is also short of the best supply now, and we can't meet some customers with tricky tastes." ”

Liu Xiaole said: "Don't worry, the premise is that I have to receive it." ”

Then Shan Wei said: "Today, the exhibition of the Beijing Aquarium, take a look?" ”

I heard that Liu Xiaole put down the camera in his hand and said, "Let's go, there is no one today, it just so happens that I haven't seen the Aquarium Expo yet." ”

Ferrari is always so eye-catching, and after the two parked their cars, they were greeted with envious eyes from those around them.

Walking into the exhibition hall, a variety of exhibits come into view, here are not only domestic suppliers, but from all over the world, the goods inside are also everything, to the equipment area, a variety of lamps, protein skimmers and other life-sustaining equipment.

As we all know, fish farming must first raise water, the cultivation of an ecological fish tank is inseparable from the support of high-end equipment, and for corals, lamps and lanterns are the top priority, and the quality of color temperature determines the growth of corals.

Liu Xiaole walked in front of an LED-based imported lamp supplier, and the salesman introduced the advantages of the lamp to him.

Looking at these lamps, Liu Xiaole is a little tempted, LED lamps are the new favorite of the aquarium industry in recent years, power saving, low heating, low decay, and color fantasy are the main advantages of LED lamps, but LED has the Achilles heel of low color temperature, and it is difficult for general lamp beads to meet the standard of raising bony corals, and the price is expensive, so some players have to take a detour.

At present, Liu Xiaole, the lighting manufacturer, knows that it is a German brand, which is well-known in the world, but the price is also very authentic, often several times higher than the domestic price, which can be described as the Hermes of lamps. However, they get what you pay for, their products have low heat, high color temperature, and complete color spectrum, which can meet the needs of any coral, which is also beyond the reach of ordinary LEDs.

As the saying goes: "If you can't eat poorly, if you don't play poorly, you will suffer if you can't calculate" Looking at these lights, the little abacus in Liu Xiaole's heart began to beat non-stop.

Now most of the lamps and lanterns in the store are T5 and metal halide lamps, and the consumption of lamps and lanterns alone has reached an astronomical amount every month, and the huge heat generation also makes the fish tank in the store have to install a huge energy-consuming chiller, and the monthly electricity bill is already astronomical, plus the decay of the lamp after a period of time and the maintenance of the later period is also a non-negligible cost.

If LED lights are installed, although the initial investment will be large, the electricity cost will be much lower than before, and the service life will also increase.

After thinking for a while, Liu Xiaole gritted his teeth, took out the only remaining 50,000 yuan, and replaced all the lamps and lanterns in the store with LEDs.

After settling the account, Shan Wei said: "Didn't I give you the lamp, how can I buy it?"

Liu Xiaole smiled: "I'm not a local tyrant, I have to calculate, you are all ****** I can't afford it." ”

After listening to Liu Xiaole's explanation, Shan Wei gave a thumbs up and said: "Dude, I really convinced you today, this set of works together can make you tens of thousands of dollars in one year, return to capital in one year, and you will earn in two years." ”

Liu Xiaole just smiled.

Then the two came to the biology exhibition hall, where there is everything.

It is worth mentioning that the quality and variety of corals here are incomparable to those of the fishing grounds, but the price is also very high. In Liu Xiaolong's understanding, the coral here is equivalent to the jade material, which can be seen and touched, and the price is naturally not low.

There are also some high-quality corals that are the treasures of the merchants' town stores, and the prices are all on the top line, and they only lose money when they buy them, while some of the mediocre ones do not have much profit. In the end, Liu Xiaole didn't make a move, and left the exhibition center with mediocre interest.

Although Liu Xiaole did not have a biological harvest this time, at least he solved the problem of high electricity bills, which was worth the trip.

During this period of time, Liu Xiaole did not take orders, but made up for knowledge, focusing on the research of various coral books every day, at this time he himself has become an encyclopedia of coral, because he thinks that coral gambling is only relative, as long as he has a full understanding of coral, he will become hot-eyed and will never be eye-catching.

Seawater ornamental fish is a new thing, in order to improve the influence, to create their own customer circle, Liu Xiaole to catch every customer who comes to the store, and establish a contact group, expand their circle, soon this circle from a few people to hundreds of people, Liu Xiaole has a group of fixed customers.
