Chapter 20 The first step in business

Six o’clock in the afternoon.

The beginning of spring has passed, and night has come later, but the sky is still orange-red, gorgeous and beautiful.

Anting left the campus alone on his bicycle, planning to go to a clay pot restaurant in the center of the town. It was estimated that it would take twenty minutes to wait from ordering to picking up the meal. Unexpectedly, he received a call from Bao Weiwei during the period. Telephone.

"An Ting, I want more~"

Bao Weiwei's moaning voice came from the phone, and Anting suddenly had a black line on his forehead, but he understood this very well. The girl said: "Milk tea, right?"

"You really know me too well!!!"

"Ha... every time you don't call me bad boy, you call me bad boy My name is nothing!" Anting sneered: "Also...didn't you say you lost weight before?"

Bao Weiwei is always like this, complaining that he is getting fatter and fatter, On the other hand, I couldn't help but talk.

“Today is the first day of physical training, let’s celebrate and take a break from losing weight for one day!”

“Awesome!”

In desperation, Anting While waiting for the claypot rice, I went to the beverage shop on the first floor of the commercial plaza, which is Brother Chuan's milk tea shop.

As soon as I entered the store, I saw Brother Chuan talking to a middle-aged woman with a mean-looking appearance.

It is obviously Brother Chuan’s territory, but it exudes a sense of helplessness.

That middle-aged woman is not a relative of Brother Chuan, but the second-hand landlord of this store.

A few years ago, taking advantage of the wave of Wanwan idol dramas sweeping the mainland, this woman opened an oden restaurant here. Later, it failed to manage well and transferred it to Brother Chuan. Now she sees that Brother Chuan’s business is doing well. , and wanted to get the store back and start business again.

The two must have signed a transfer agreement.

But Brother Chuan dropped out of junior high school, has no education, and did not examine the questions carefully. There were some overbearing clauses in them, so he could not escape the fate of being cheated.

If Anting remembers correctly, Brother Chuan kept the store by adding money and continued to operate the store for three or four years in his previous life.

However, as more and more people paid attention to the beverage market, and milk tea itself had little technical content, competition was fierce, and the rent was high, Brother Chuan could not resist and went bankrupt.

After waiting for the middle-aged woman to leave, Brother Chuan put away his bitter expression, smiled heartily, and said: "An Ting, you are here again, what would you like to drink?"

Anting placed the order truthfully.

When Brother Chuan was in the production area, Anting was walking at the barSitting on the high chair in front of the house, he held his chin with one hand and chatted: "Is the second-hand landlord going to increase the rent?"

When he heard this topic from a third-year junior high school student, Brother Chuan was still a little agitated. It’s surprising that a junior high school student knows this. If you think about it carefully, this young man’s family is a rent collector, which seems very reasonable.

It is normal for him, a second-generation renter, to understand this.

Brother Chuan nodded, gave a wry smile, and said: "Well, you heard it all...Before, like you, I was a little bully in school. I thought I was invincible. I didn't realize it until I grew up. I realize that I am nothing special.”

You can do nothing! ?

When you come out to hang out, talk about power, background, and brains.

Brother Chuan originally wanted to talk to Anting about the truth as a person who had been through it, but he suddenly felt that he did not understand and was not qualified to reason, so he simply remained silent.

Anting asked: "Will this store not be opened?"

"Open!" Brother Chuan is a very stubborn person.

An Ting smiled knowingly. Although it was a parallel world, the people here had not changed.

However, the young man also knows that Brother Chuan’s persistence is not very good. If he gives up now, he can still get back the money he has earned over the years. If he persists, he will lose money, although it will not become a negative asset. , but once they return to before liberation, entering the factory will become the last choice.

A time-honored brand is not necessarily a compliment.

In the ever-changing beverage market, the customer base is all teenagers, and young people pursue freshness. If this so-called time-honored brand, the first beverage store in a small town, has no innovation ability, its decline is inevitable.

So, do you think Anting wants to persuade Brother Chuan to stop?

Stop it, Brother Chuan, there are all landlords out there.

No!

An Ting is also a landlord himself. He seems careless, but in fact he is quite scheming. He said: "Brother Chuan, are you interested in doing business in another place?"

"Um... Do you want me to rent the shop on the first floor of your building? I didn’t expect you to be so good at seizing the opportunity..."

As mentioned before, the building that Anting’s family rents out The first floor is used for catering, the second and third floors are Internet cafes, and the fourth and fifth floors are rented to foreigners.

If you put it this way, it is reasonable for Brother Chuan to rent the first floor.

Brother Chuan refused: "My store may not have such a good business if it is moved to another location..."

This is also a drawback of time-honored brands. Today, when mobile terminals are not particularly developed, , it is difficult to inform all customers when a store changes locationGuests, it’s easy to get cold.

Unexpectedly.

An Ting said plainly: "I will indeed let you change places, but I won't let you stay in my home."

"Hmm...? What do you mean, where are you going? "

"Nancheng District!"

"Ah..." Brother Chuan exclaimed.

From a small town to an urban area, the span is too big, and the difficulty of starting a business is not at the same level.

You may not believe it, but the motivation for all this in Anting is actually Bao Weiwei's words - after I went to high school, I wonder if there is a small shop like this that can be my secret base. .

Anting wants to arrange a secret base for himself and his friends, a warm place that can protect us from wind and rain.

One day, our secret bases will be spread all over the world.

He needs a helper, an experienced partner.

　……

It’s half past six in the evening.

Anting returned to his hometown junior high school with five cups of milk tea and five portions of claypot rice. He did not sit in the classroom to eat, but ate in the pavilion under the school’s redbud tree.

Actually...

In their previous campus life, Anting and Song Ci did not have much interaction, and could even be said to be very discordant. But sitting here like this It's a rare sight to have dinner together.

Anting’s mind was all about starting a business, and he didn’t care too much about who he was having dinner with.

Song Ci just regarded getting along like this as an extension of family members.

It is clear to those who watch, but confused to those in authority.

On the contrary, Bao Weiwei and Gao Fei noticed something was wrong, and looked at the boy and girl at the same time. How could the scene of these two people sitting together eating be so harmonious? It's like eating together often.

Zhu Jiajun was weak, so he didn’t notice these strange things and concentrated on eating and drinking.

Seven o’clock in the evening.

The self-study in the evening officially began. Anting, Zhu Jiajun and Gao Fei studied very hard, which made other people in the class feel a little overwhelmed and had a sense of crisis, so they also worked hard together.

Look!

People like Anting are working so hard. If we don’t work hard, wouldn’t it be embarrassing if we are really outclassed.

Not to mention, regardless of whether Anting can be admitted to No. 1 Middle School, the impact he has brought is already very positive.

Mr. Li, the head teacher in charge of the day, witnessed thiscurtain, inexplicably happy.

The mutual influence and healthy competition between classmates is indeed a very good thing.

Mr. Li is a self-aware educator. Today in 2006, in this kind of township public junior high school, it is impossible for him to allow every student to enter high school. He does not have the ability.

Society needs to be diverted...

The only goal is to let every student know what they are doing and what they may face in the future, at least without regrets.

At this moment, he looked at Anting who was studying the questions carefully...

He didn’t think that this child could be admitted to No. 1 Middle School. With his lowest level, if he really If you are admitted to No. 1 Middle School within a hundred days, you can only be called a genius.

In Teacher Li’s opinion, Anting is not a genius and it is impossible to do such a thing.

I hope this kid can get into a middle-lower ordinary high school and at least have the opportunity to pass the college entrance examination. With his family's financial resources, it would be great to spend some money to get a third degree.

The above... is Teacher Li’s beautiful vision for Anting, the prodigal son who has returned.

I happened to catch a glimpse of Anting answering Chinese reading questions. As a Chinese teacher, Teacher Li became interested and naturally wanted to go and have a look. He thought: Go up and have a look. Take a look at Anting. Guys do you have any questions for me.

Unexpectedly.

As soon as I went up, I saw that Anting had drawn a Q version of a cartoon character in the Chinese textbook.

Brat, give me back my emotion!
