Chapter 35: The Dilemma

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Just this feel is cool~! Bei'er Shuang~! This feel is twice cool~! ”

Fu Hao's mobile phone on the tea table rang.

Li Rui casually glanced at it and saw that the caller ID was Lin Yuting's name.

Fu Hao took the mobile phone and told Li Rui: "I'll answer the phone first." ”

As he spoke, he picked up Lin Yuting's phone-

"Hello?"

"Uncle Hao, have you seen the WeChat I sent you?"

"No, I haven't looked at it yet, what's wrong?"

"I see that the electrical appliances you put in your JD shopping cart are almost 200,000, which is too exaggerated! Are you sure you got it right? Are you going to buy a TV that big? 90 inches! ”

Lin Yuting was looking at Fu Hao's notebook in the restaurant in shock, she had never seen anyone buy electrical appliances for such a large sum! So she thought Fu Hao had made a mistake.

Just sent Fu Hao a WeChat question, but Fu Hao didn't reply, so she had to call and ask.

"I can see it clearly on a bigger TV. You just choose the style I chose, and you can see what is missing in the house, or what you need, and choose everything. As long as it is what you need, it is what our family needs. ”

Fu Hao's words made Li Rui a little stunned. He didn't expect that Fu Hao and Lin Yuting had already progressed to this point! Efficient enough! I couldn't help but smile secretly.

"Uncle Hao, you won't let me talk about you, but I still have to say: you are too trenched! You have a rich Cheng dΓΉ, maybe it's more than I imagined! ”

"Haha, it's definitely more than you imagined, anyway, don't save me money, buy it with your life."

"Hmmm! Then I'll fight! ”

"Haha."

Fu Hao smiled heartily.

"What's the situation? Have you spent time with our class? ”

As soon as Fu Hao shook the phone, Li Rui immediately asked with interest.

"I just bought a suite from Sun Garden, Lin Yuting didn't want to rent a house, so I asked her to live with me, which is considered renting my house."

"Jinwu Zangjiao, you are, you can make a lot of money!"

"I was also in a hurry, I just bought the house, and I caught up with Lin Yuting to rent a house."

"Why don't you two have a fate!" Li Rui said excitedly: "You can be regarded as the first to get the moon near the water this time, you must cherish it, Lin Yuting is a good girl, don't treat others badly." ”

"If I only marry one person in my life, I will definitely marry her."

"What do you mean? How many daughters-in-law are you going to marry? ”

"No, I mean, or I won't get married in my life; If I want to get married, I will definitely marry her, she is the cutest girl I have ever seen in the world. ”

"Haha, you know it! She's definitely a good girl. We've already picked you up, and you're not active. Now that you're finally positive, buddy is happy for you! Drinking tea is not enjoyable, call a few bottles of beer, let's drink some? "In addition to tea, this tea house also sells alcohol.

"Okay, I like to drink with you!" Fu Hao took the initiative to go outside to find the waiter and brought six bottles of iced Yanjing over, and he and Li Rui each held one and blew directly on the bottle.

"To you! I wish you and our Taipanhua a speedy success! ”

"I've borrowed your good words." Fu Hao and Li Rui touched the beer bottle and said, "I also wish you and your daughter-in-law a positive result as soon as possible." ”

"My daughter-in-law and I achieved positive results in no time. When she comes back from studying abroad next year, we will get married. It's you, it's true to chase Lin Yuting quickly. ”

"Don't worry, buddy doesn't chase it, if you want to chase, you have to chase it, it's absolutely real! We're both living together, do you think I might be able to give someone else a chance? ”

"That's right. Your baby is going to be really sassy, more sassy than Saumy; The skin is really thick, thicker than Ji Renwei! Based on the few words you just said on the phone, I am optimistic about you. ”

"Your uncle! Haha, bury me? ”

"I am praising you! Haha, drink! ”

Li Rui and Fu Hao touched bottles and drank, and then asked, "When will I visit your house?" Buy a house in Sun Park, your baby is really rich. ”

"Wait a few days, now the house has just been renovated, and there are no furniture and electrical appliances in it, Lin Yuting called me just now, and she was buying electrical appliances." In the evening, we went to IKEA to get some furniture. When you're done, I'll ask you to come and play. ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news, I hope that when the furniture and everything are done, you can also get Lin Yuting done."

"Don't keep messing with her, let's get down to business." Fu Hao was concerned about the car rental company: "I need to know more about the car rental company from you, and I have to talk to my sister when I go back." Your dad has done some research on this industry, and you can tell me about it. ”

After taking a sip of wine with Fu Hao, Li Rui cleaned up his happiness for his good buddies, and continued to tell Fu Hao: "I almost said what I should say, it's quite difficult to do this business anyway." By the way, I still remember to have to talk to you about it, doing this business, the car is very worn. The car rental company's car, running every day, it is difficult to say that there is no problem, repair, maintenance all need money, once the operation is stopped, it is not less profitable, but a loss!

"In this industry, only companies that have grown up in scale can be said to be profitable if they have cultivated the consumption concept of Chinese people. But now, not a single company, including Shenlong, is really profitable, and all companies are in a state of loss. It depends on who has the money to continue burning. Banks are now very stuck in lending to this industry. My dad took over this company because he couldn't borrow money from the bank before, and the capital chain was broken, so the uncle came to my dad.

"Also, this kind of car rental company, the most afraid is that the car has to go and there is no return. If a car is gone, it is a loss. Some people have rented cars, some have sold them, some have mortgaged them, and some have transported, poisoned, robbed, and robbed. In short, there is everything, completely beyond your imagination, once lost, the car is completely gone. ”

Li Ruilin talked a lot to Fu Hao, said whatever he remembered, and finally concluded: "Having said so much, it is all bad, but there is one thing that my dad also saw when he did research, that is, the current potential of the domestic car rental market is indeed very large, as you said, the current domestic car rental market is the most potential market in the world." But it's also city-by-city. For example, the market welcomes the car rental industry. Because car rental is a public service, in the future, it will be part of urban mobility, a complement to buses and taxis, and more flexible. In such a city, the policy will be tilted in this direction. But like us in Xiwei, this kind of policy support is very weak. Therefore, the car rental companies in Xiwei are getting more and more decadent.

"Also, the price of the car market has been falling, which is also a big blow to the car rental industry. In addition, there are many uncontrollable factors, as well as immature consumption concepts in the market, which will lead to more and more limited profitability of car rentals. From this line of money, at present, it is all small profits and quick turnover, and the entire industry has not yet found a good new profit growth point.

"And now look at Shenlong car rental, the momentum of horse racing is very strong, I heard that their airport stores are all open 24 hours a day, and some have signed an exclusivity agreement, and other car rental companies' stores can't settle in. Many of Shenlong's stores are set up in airports, high-speed railways, and tourist attractions, and almost all of the best places are occupied by them. As long as they have investment, they will continue to open stores and buy cars.

"According to my father's survey, Shenlong now buys about 2,500 cars every month, and many cars are constantly quitting every month. These actions are constantly distancing themselves from other car rental companies, constantly eating up market share, and merging with other car rental companies. With such a big predator in the market, it is really difficult for a small car rental company to survive, at least it is difficult to develop a large one. ”

After speaking, a cigarette was also smoked, Li Rui and Fu Hao took a sip of wine, lit another cigarette, smoked, thought about it, and added to Fu Hao: "At present, the local small and medium-sized car rental companies, just like the company that my dad took over, have about 70% of long-term rental customers and 30% of short-term rental customers. In addition to its own vehicles, there are many rentable vehicles that are attached to this kind of company, similar to intermediaries.

"Actually, this is a point that can be tapped. The company's most profitable business at present is the wedding car fleet business, which currently has hundreds of Audis attached to it, all of which were obtained by Uncle Na through some friends before. There are about 700 of their own vehicles left, but they are all relatively low-end domestic cars like Biatti, which can be bought for 5 or 60,000 yuan, or even 3 or 40,000 yuan. The company has been focusing on the low-end car rental market before, advocating that everyone can rent a car, the concept is very good, but unfortunately it did not find the market development.

"Biatti has a factory in our Xizhu, and the company has a good relationship with Biatti, and there is a buyback clause for buying cars, and the cars they have eliminated can be repurchased by the manufacturer, which can be regarded as saving a certain cost. But before, because the stall was too big, the market has shrunk in the past two years, and now the company's capital is under great pressure. Anyway, according to the research done by my father, this car rental company is a bottomless pit, and whoever throws money into it is basically a waste, and may not see real benefits in a few years. ”

Fu Hao was taught, smoked a cigarette and pondered for a while, and said, "It seems that doing this business is really a dilemma. ”

"yes, so I don't want you to throw money here. No one's money comes for nothing, even if it is won by winning the lottery, it is not for nothing. If you're going to burn money here, you might as well do something else. ”

"But I still want to burn money here."

Fu Hao said stubbornly, giving people the feeling that he was a little extreme.

"Why?"

Li Rui was a little crying and laughing.

"Because I am optimistic about the future development of the domestic automotive industry, and I also like cars."

"Do you like cars, is it good to open a 4S shop? Why do you have to buy and sell rental cars? ”

"Opening a 4S store is not interesting or challenging. Renting a car is just getting started and is ready for adventure. ”

"Brother, it's not like that!"

Li Rui patted Fu Hao's shoulder earnestly.

"But I like to be adventurous. The more you are in the field that others are not optimistic about, the greater the business opportunities there are. ”

Fu Hao is going to tell Li Rui about his Internet ideas, and then listen to Li Rui's opinion.

"That's what I think, I want to take over this car rental company, replenish the company's funds, relieve their financial pressure, and let the company regain stability, and then I want to carry out a series of Internet transformations for it."

"Doing an internet makeover?" Li Rui loves computers and is very interested in things related to the Internet, so he listens to Fu Hao's later words.
