In the cold winter, the snow is falling.

Lin Yao came to Nitang Village, which is not far from the Qiantang River and more than ten kilometers away from the main urban area of Hangzhou.

It's a low-lying place where water accumulates when it rains, and moss can be seen in the corners of the roadside walls as far as the eye can see.

Lin Yao drove on the potholed road tremblingly, lest electric cars or pedestrians suddenly appear in those narrow alleys like dogs' teeth, which caught her off guard.

Fortunately, there were few people going out in this situation, and she successfully found the largest and most unique house located in the village--- Wangjiang Tower, which has not yet been officially opened to the public.

Why is it unique?

What appeared in front of her was a typical five-story building in the style of a rural villa that was particularly popular in Hangzhou around the year 2000, with a lot of rooms and an oversized lightning rod on the roof.

Not only does the house occupy a large area, it also has a large yard, and it is surrounded by open space, which is now full of construction debris that has not had time to be cleared.

The second is that the old cucumber in this house is painted with green paint, and it is equipped with antique wooden doors, prismatic windows, and red lanterns, which at first glance is a bit nondescript.

At Li Renhai's strong request, the year-end dinner of the three of them was arranged here.

Li Renhai had been waiting there for a long time, he diligently instructed Lin Yao and Jian Wen to park the car, then opened and held the long-handled umbrella in his hand, handed it to Lin Yao and Jian Wen, and said to them with a smile: "Welcome to Mr. Jian and Mr. Lin!" ”

Lin Yao smiled and said, "Boss Li is polite." ”

Jian Wen had a calm face, and said coldly, "Li Renhai, your place is remote enough, I can't find it with navigation." ”

When Li Renhai heard this, the smile on his face stiffened slightly, and he scratched his head, "It should be okay, I found this place as soon as I came." ”

Li Renhai's house is definitely the best house in the entire Nitang Village, and it is also the closest house to the Qiantang River, but to get here, you have to go through the Nitang Village.

Even if they opened the navigation, they could barely find the place, how did the other guests find the place?

Without customers, how can his teahouse be opened?

Lin Yao was not optimistic about Li Renhai from the beginning, but everyone was in the early stage of entrepreneurship......

She comforted: "It is indeed very close to the Qiantang River, and it will be good if you can drive here directly from the river in the future." ”

Li Renhai was overjoyed when he heard this, and agreed: "Mr. Lin is too witty, I just got the inside information, soon the riverside road will be repaired, and it is very likely that a park will be built in a year or two, so I hurriedly started and bought this unique river-view house...... blabla”

Jian Wen and Lin Yao looked at each other, and Li Renhai's courage was inevitably too bold.

Regardless of how his "inside information" came about, whether it is true or not, and how quickly "soon" is, at least for a short time, this will not change.

"If that's the case, you're making a lot of money." Lin Yao followed his words first, and then gently proposed, "However, before that, you can advertise on the Internet, and it is better to make more guidance signs, at least let people find here." ”

Li Renhai rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "That's for sure, I have already gone to the village committee of Nitang Village to ask, you can hang a guide sign on the telephone pole." By the way, it's cold outside, let's go inside and talk. ”

Lin Yao and Li Renhai were discussing how to build Wangjiang Tower as they walked, but Jian Wen still kept a straight face, walked behind sullenly, and didn't say a word.

Li Renhai took them through the antique lobby, stepped on the wooden escalator with some ancient charm, and came to the top of the building, Nitang Village is not far from the Qiantang River, but it is impossible to sit in the courtyard or watch the river in the box, that is, you can see the river only when you stand on the roof.

"With all this, I'm afraid it's hard to attract customers to come and drink tea." Jian Wen usually doesn't say much, but this time she talked endlessly, and she put forward a lot of shortcomings to Li Renhai's teahouse, "Besides, what kind of place is Nitang Village?" Even I, a northerner, know that the environment here is not good, and even there are some problems with law and order. Who will have a brain pump, so that they can run here to drink tea? ”

Jian Wen's words are not an exaggeration, Lin Yao had heard of Nitang Village before, but she had never been there, the environment here was dirty, illegal traders were crowded, and occasionally there would be drunken troubles, fights and brawls on the social news, in some ways, even the east of the city was not as good as here!

Lin Yao didn't understand what Li Renhai thought, and actually chose to open a teahouse in this kind of place?

However, Li Renhai's investment in Wangjianglou should be not small, and he is thinking about starting a business at this time. In this case, it is not appropriate to pour cold water on him......

Jian Wen still frowned, "I learned that many teahouses in the market are facing many business problems, and many teahouses are still losing money after several years of opening. In particular, some newly opened teahouses often face the problem of closing after not being open for long......"

Lin Yao hurriedly tugged at Jian Wen's sleeve and signaled her to pay attention, don't criticize too much.

Li Renhai sneered: "It's okay, I know that Jian Wen said this for my good." ”

Lin Yao tried to play a round, "You're almost decorated, you can try to advertise after cleaning up." ”

It is difficult to open a teahouse, and it is even more difficult for Li Renhai's Wangjiang Tower to improve, at least not in a short period of time.

Unless the vacant land south of his Wangjiang Tower is really as people say, building roads and parks...... That's not very likely.

Lin Yao didn't support Li Renhai to open Wangjiang Tower at the beginning, and she didn't persuade Li Renhai, but Li Renhai seemed to be very confident in his career and couldn't listen to persuasion at all.

Besides, his house has been bought, the decoration has been completed, and the money has been thrown in, and seeing that the opening is imminent, it is too late to persuade Li Renhai to change his mind at this time.

Jian Wen lightly hugged her arms to her chest and sneered, "It's still early to advertise, I heard that advertising is precious, and it's not time yet, you see, what are the piles on his floor?"

It's a mess everywhere here, and people feel very bad as soon as they enter the door, and if I really see an ad on the Internet and drink tea here, I'll turn around and leave. ”

The location of Wangjiang Tower is not very good, not to mention that the side of the teahouse is still surrounded by all kinds of construction waste, and I don't know how long it will take to transport it away, which is an important reason why Jian Wen can't bear it.

Lin Yao said pertinently: "Those things are piled up, which is really unsightly, and they must be disposed of before the trial operation." ”

Li Renhai placed them in the box, and he smiled hard, "It's not the end of the year, everyone is in a hurry to go home for the New Year, I can't actually find anyone to help me clean up those things, it's good to start the New Year." ”

In fact, after the Chinese New Year, the migrant workers in Hangzhou will not return to Hangzhou too soon.

After saying this, Li Renhai went to the kitchen.

Until Li Renhai's figure disappeared outside the box, Jian Wen was still dissatisfied, "Since you have decided to do it, then try your best to make it, what is it to do half and leave half of it?" ”

That's true, but ......

Lin Yao looked at Jian Wen with some surprise, "Isn't this just the beginning?" It's okay for us to give some advice, but it's already done, and there's no point in hitting him all the time. ”

"I didn't hit her." Jian Wen frowned, "I'm telling the truth." ”

Well, it's true, it's just a little hurtful.

Jian Wen snorted lightly, "I don't know what Li Renhai is thinking in his head, so he opened a teahouse." ”

Lin Yao said: "It's not that bad, isn't it that it hasn't officially opened yet, and the manpower is not yet complete, and besides, he is alone, how can he think about everything?"

Don't worry, everyone is slowly getting better.

Li Renhai has an active brain, good popularity, and no small courage, maybe we will all have to look up to him as a big guy in the future. ”

"Big guy? What kind of big guy is he? Jian Wen smiled, "I asked him before, why did he think of opening a teahouse?" He told it was one of his little brothers, who pouted ......"

Lin Yao's "little brother" inexplicably remembered what Li Renhai said on the phone before.

"It's still an inspiration from you...... After we got together at Wanghu Tower that day, I was thinking, why can Wanghu Tower stand by the West Lake for so many years? If I opened a better one, wouldn't it be ......"

Jian Wen couldn't stop complaining, "Even this house is a thread drawn by his little brother, there is a problem with this hearing, how old is he?" How can you still be in this gear?

Hey, no matter how much money he has, he can't waste it like this......"

For Lin Yao, the point was that Li Renhai had other little brothers in Hangzhou, and she was secretly relieved.

Jian Wen babbled a lot before she realized that Lin Yao had been silent, so she asked, "Didn't he tell you?"

If you really want to open a teahouse, you have to do it well, what does it mean to get half of it? ”

Lin Yao looked at Jian Wen in a daze, she always felt that Jian Wen was not like this.

Jian Wen's temperament has always been the most indifferent in the class, and it doesn't matter to herself, she is talking about her, why did she suddenly get so angry with Li Renhai?

Could it be that when she didn't know, Jian Wen had a stake in the teahouse?

Otherwise, how could he be so excited?

If that's the case...... That's not fun.

Lin Yao tried to change the topic, "By the way, how are you in the company this year?" Recruiting new people? ”

Jian Wen pursed her lips, "It's still the same people, and they finally made some small lists, hey, it's really not easy to rely on Carlos to subsidize me now." I plan to increase outreach next year. ”

Jian Wen talked about some of her thoughts, and Lin Yao's heart was a little heavy after listening to it.

Her situation is not much better than Jian Wen.

Jian Wen has the support of Carlos, while Lin Yao has Mr. Wen and Hossein, and the purchases of her small customers have rebounded slightly, and the orders have also stabilized.

If she hires people, it will definitely not be possible to hand over the two pillars of Mr. Wen and Hossein directly to the newcomers.

At most, you can only divide some small customers into newcomers to practice.

Next, the newcomer has nothing to do, so he will mess around.

After a long time, it will form a habit.

What exactly is it going for her to get the situation up as soon as possible? She also thought of the fair.

Here, Lin Yaoxia was about to discuss next year's exhibition plan with Jian Wen, and Li Renhai came back sweating profusely.

He said excitedly: "Today everyone can try my father's craft, let me tell you, my father's craftsmanship is very good...... My green bean tea, I guarantee you haven't drunk it anywhere else...... And the tea I have here, which my dad also went to many places to purchase. ”

Seeing that he was embarrassed, Jian Wen couldn't help but provoke another thorn, "Why did your father make the teahouse you opened?" ”

"He has nothing to do, and he just helps me manage the teahouse." Li Renhai pushed his glasses and said: "I have also thought about it during this time, if it really doesn't work, I can still find a job, my father is here, and my mother will come over after the New Year." ”

Jian Wen was noncommittal.

Lin Yao quipped: "Won't your wife give you some advice?" "That's the financial director of a large company, how can Li Renhai be like a fly without a head?

Li Renhai grinned: "She is too busy with work, how can she have time to take care of my trivial matters." Besides, we agreed in advance to develop our own businesses. ”

That is equivalent to one more way out, if Li Renhai fails to start a business, his wife can still support him, plus with this house, no matter how poor he is, he can still be a charter man, at least he has no worries.

Sure enough, Li Renhai's wife is gentle and lovely on the outside, extremely strong on the inside, and a strong woman with a very assertive opinion.

Lin Yao nodded, "I think that's pretty good." ”

Jian Wen rarely affirmed: "When the two of them do things together, it is easy to have conflicts, think about Qin Yi and Lin Yun are also good examples." ”

At the mention of Lin Yun, everyone sighed again.

"Ahem!" Li Renhai cleared his throat and asked, "By the way, have you been in contact with Mr. Lin during this time?" ”

Jian Wen rolled her eyes directly, "How can we possibly contact her." ”

Jian Wen and Lin Yao were both expelled by Lin Yun.

Li Renhai scratched his head, and realized that he had said the wrong thing, "I just asked casually." By the way, Lingyun's benefits this year are not bad, and he has made 30 million a year. ”

Jian Wen picked up the teacup, took a sip of green bean tea, raised her eyebrows slightly, and did not speak.

Lin Yao sighed, "I can make 30 million meters a year, that's really amazing, when I was in Lingyun, I didn't exceed ......."

"What?" Li Renhai was stunned, "Thirty million meters? You're thinking too much! I'm talking about 30 million Chinese dollars! ”

Lin Yao was stunned for a moment, "Are you saying that fifty or sixty of you have made an order for 30 million Chinese coins?" ”

Jian Wen put down the teacup and opened her mouth again, "According to the current market, it is very good to be able to do 30 million." ”

Lin Yao was a little shocked, she had made more than 20 million rice yuan in less than a year during her time in Lingyun, and Mr. Wen himself had purchased more than 30 million yuan from her.

What does this mean?

Jian Wen was very interested and asked, "What is the current profit margin level of Lingyun?" ”

Li Renhai sighed, "Lingyun's profit is not bad, at least 15%, and it is conservatively estimated that their group can earn four or five million a year!" ”

At this moment, Lin Yao couldn't help but remind him, "This 15% is the price difference rather than profit, maintaining the company's daily operation is a big expense, and besides, there are more than 50 of you, and the annual salary must be several million, and you also have to pay rent, water and electricity, broadband, network platforms, and exhibitions...... All of this is supported by money. ”

Li Renhai was dumbfounded when he heard this, "According to what you say, they make 30 million a year, but they are actually losing money?" ”

Lin Yao was serious, "Of course, fifty or sixty people, the benefits alone are not a small amount, and they also have to pay wages and taxes." ”

Li Renhai pushed his glasses and said mysteriously: "I heard that Lingyun made the account a loss in order to pay less taxes, but I didn'......t expect it, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it."

Jian Wen smiled: "In this way, they should be really losing money now, and I am balanced again." ”

Lin Yao couldn't help laughing, "Sure enough, as long as you compare with people who are even worse, you will feel that your situation is not so bad." ”
