Chapter 114 Good Night, Ting

After all his friends went offline, Anting opened Station A on a whim and logged in to his account.

　001——A.

Since uploading "seeyouagain", Anting has not looked at this website again. There is no way, there are too many things to take care of.

When I clicked on it, I was shocked. It added tens of thousands of fans and thousands of private messages.

On the mainland Internet in 2006, thousands of private messages were already a lot.

It was expected that I would become popular, but I didn’t expect it to become popular so quickly.

It must have only been three weeks since I uploaded this song. The song I uploaded on the first weekend of school is now the National Day holiday.

Out of curiosity, Anting clicked on the private messages and took a look - good guys, they were all from A.

　"Door A!"

　"Door A!"

　"Door A!"

　"."

It’s like a dark church, a bit scary, the leader of the church is actually me.

Anting has a black line on his forehead and plans to close down.

Before closing, I glanced at an interesting private message - an invitation letter from a record company in S city...

"Hello, respected and mysterious A, I I am from City S, my surname is Luo, and I am here to come to you on behalf of Xingchen Entertainment Company. We are very interested in this song "seeyouagain" and want to buy part or all of the copyright."

It is worth noting that the above The content is translated into Chinese and English.

The outside world has a very interesting view of A, which is recognized by many people - A may not be a Chinese, because "seeyouagain" is an English song, and the name is not Chinese, it is the English letter A .

The possibility of being a Chinese cannot be ruled out, but it is more likely to be a foreigner, or an outsider living in the country.

"I am the descendant of the dragon."

An Ting laughed and prepared to turn off the message. After all, his ambition was not in the music field and he did not want to develop in that direction at all. Music is just a traffic tool.

Something suddenly occurred to my mind and my hand stopped.

Think about it carefully - no, I should agree to him.

For two reasons.

First, it is very simple, expand your network; second, it is even simpler,He is short of money, and the residual value of this song "See You Again" is still very large. Placing it on Station A will only increase his fame, but it will not produce direct economic benefits.

Well, Anting is very short of money.

In order to open the first branch, all working capital has been invested.

On the bus home just now, he was still drooling looking at the piece of land, but he was short of money.

I didn’t expect such a coincidence that someone would send money to my door.

Although he decided to sell the copyright of this song, Anting still searched online for the background of this company called "Xingchen". It was quite impressive. The film, television and song company won the first place. A first-class music company with a wave of digital copyright dividends is also involved in the film and television fields. Although the film and television aspects are not first-class, they are ranked first.

Just letting the other party buy it out, Anting couldn't accept it, so he decided to do a percentage damage.

"All profits from this song, 55 points..."

Anting originally wanted to write in Chinese, but felt that keeping a sense of mystery was a good strategy. When I changed it to English, I suddenly realized something.

shed tears of unlearned and unskilled tears.

"How to write in English..."

It's not that Anting is really good at it, but because of his vocabulary in the first year of high school, he can't write commercial documents at all.

Song porcelain may not even be able to be written!

Opportunity is rare.

Sorting out the boy’s business lines is actually not complicated. As of now, Anting’s business lines have two open lines + one hidden line.

The clear line, the first is the offline catering industry, which is the brand Secret Base; the second is online, which is the A-station Internet.

Hidden line, the land for the future second commercial center of City C.

As for Gu Xueli composing songs and the identity of A, to put it bluntly, they are just tools, derivatives to achieve the goal.

At present, there are about 100,000 users at Station A, and it already has 40,000 fans.

It’s like building your own country within a country at Station A.

If one day A wants to leave or start a new station A, although it cannot empty out station A, it is still not difficult to kill it half to death.

This is just a very small link. If it’s too troublesome, it’s not impossible to give up Station A... Bao Weiwei and other friends like to chase fans. If Station A is their own thing, what do they like? Fan, just buy whatever fan you want, it seems quite interesting.

There are still many investment opportunities.

Whether it’s liquor or virtual currency.

If you really want to, wait until 2010 and invest in rice fraud.

As long as you accumulate enough capital in the next few years, you can basically play casually.

The picture answers this moment.

While Anting was shedding unlearned tears, there was a knock on the door.

Anting opened the door and saw that it was Song Ci who had just taken a shower. She was wearing long pajamas and pink slippers. She was wiping her wet clothes with a towel, as if Like a fairy taking a bath.

Well... the content of her words had nothing to do with fairies. She said with a hint of strictness: "An Ting, there is a lot of homework during the National Day holiday. Don't wait until the last night of self-study to start doing homework. It will be too late. !”

Many students are like this. They play all the time during the holidays and then cram in crazily during self-study in the evening.

"Song Ci, are you a devil?"

"Ah..."

An Ting pointed to the alarm clock on the table, "Today is September 30th, it is now 23:00, and the National Day holiday has not officially started. You are talking to me about homework. What are you if you are not a devil?"

Although he is a reborn person, Anting hates doing homework. .

　“Pfft…”

Song Ci didn’t say it, but in her heart she really liked getting along with Anting, and she was always very happy.

Intentionally or unintentionally, you can always be amused.

Looking at the smile on Song Ci’s face, Anting looked back at the computer, and with a flash of inspiration, he said: “Song Ci, can you help me translate a few sentences in Chinese?”
< br />In fact, Anting does not have high hopes. The difficulty of this composition should be quite high for the first year of high school English. Even for Song Ci, it should be difficult to translate.

In addition, Anting did not expose Ge, but asked Song Ci to help write a few of the most difficult sentences.

What Anting didn’t expect was that Song Ci took it and read it directly without turning to a dictionary or Baidu.

An Ting: "..."

"An Ting, why are you looking at me with such a strange look?"

"Song Ci, Can you sit on my bed?"

Hearing this, Song Ci's face, which had just come out of the bath, was already a little red, and suddenly it became even redder. She said harshly: "Sit on your bed, what do you want? What to do?”

“I just want to hug your thigh! I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were so stubborn!”

Song Ci was dumbfounded and explained: "Before moving to the small town, I studied in an international primary school, so I am particularly good at foreign languages."

"Oh..."< br />
In his previous life, during the first or second year of high school, Song Ci was taken back to a first-tier city by his grandparents; in this life, I don’t know if it will be like this again.

She is a very good person who is always out of tune with the small town.

Aunt Song brought her daughter back to a small town from a big city out of sheer rage. It might have been a selfish decision.

There is nothing to blame Aunt Song, life is so long, and everyone will do things that don’t seem right.

Song Ci may have been feeling a little emotional as he recalled the past. Instead of delving into why Anting suddenly had to translate such a commercial document, he smiled softly and went back to his room to rest.

"Good night...ah...good night, Ting."

Because I yawned, it was originally "good night, Anting", but it suddenly became "good night, good night," pavilion".

"Hmm..."

Anting seemed to have been flirted with unintentionally, but he did not complain, "Good night."

Looking at Song Ci Something fell out of the schoolbag behind him.

Looking back, I saw that it was the doll cat given by Qiao Liang, a very cute red cat, not big, like a claw machine, about the size of a palm.

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to put it on the table and use it as a mascot.

Then, Anting wrote the email and sent it to Xingchen Entertainment Company.

　……

That’s it.

The National Day holiday has begun.

Let me tell you one thing first. In September, An’s father had already bought a new car. He originally wanted to buy a Mazda, but he was afraid of traffic jams, so he bought a Mercedes-Benz.

Anyway, I gave the old car to Aunt Song.

This year, An’s father spent a lot of money on wedding expenses, Anting’s bonus, and money to buy a car.

However, from the looks of it, my father was happy to spend the money; Anting didn’t have any objections, it was better than doing business in his previous life.

The first day of National Day.

Father An instructs Aunt Song to drive. The latter has a driver’s license but lacks experience. Anyway, she is living in a world of two.

Anting is not so busy. The first branch in Beicheng District has opened. It is located in the urban area of ​​Beicheng District. Although it is not as good as Nancheng District, it has a lot of people..

With the foundation of the first store, it was easy to open the second store.

Although part of the success factor can be attributed to the National Day buff, the sales on the first day did exceed the opening of the new store in Nancheng District.

Looking at the new store with customers flocking to it, Anting smiled confidently and said: "It seems we can prepare for the next branch..."

"Hmm..." Brother Chuan began to look forward to the future.

The success of the first store did not reassure Brother Chuan, but the success of the second store was undoubtedly a shot in the arm. Brother Chuan readily agreed this time.

Although the two stores are located in the north and south districts respectively, it is obviously impossible for two stores of 200 square meters to capture the entire C city market.

Based on the economic, population and industry distribution of Nancheng District and Beicheng District, we hope to have three stores in Nancheng District and two stores in Beicheng District before the Spring Festival.

“But... in this way, it will be difficult for us to manage so many stores.”

Rapid brand expansion is a double-edged sword, and management and supervision cannot keep up. Big problems can easily occur.

Anting was slightly startled, not because he was surprised that it was difficult to manage so many stores, but because he was surprised that Brother Chuan could bring up this point of view.

I didn’t expect there to be awareness in this regard.

Brother Chuan smiled awkwardly and said: "Don't look at me staying in the store every day, I have been studying recently..."

"Well, come on..."
< br /> Anting could see it - Brother Chuan was changing. At first, he just wanted to be a small business owner with a quiet corner, but two consecutive successful openings made him ambitious.

Brother Chuan’s ambition may not necessarily be a good thing in the long run. Over time, he may devour the master; but from the current stage, it is indeed a good thing, a partner who is willing to increase his own value. ,not bad.

Soon, Anting came up with a solution and said cheerfully: "Let's set up a company. On the one hand, it will connect the upstream and downstream, and on the other hand, it will coordinate the overall situation."

"Upstream and downstream? I can understand upstream, but what is downstream?"

Upstream is easy to understand. Suppliers of tea, fruits, condiments, and packaged products are all upstream of the catering industry; But what is downstream?

An Ting did not answer directly, but asked: "Recently, many people should have come to you, wanting to get business experience or something."

"Indeed. ”

Recently, many people have taken the initiative to find Brother Shangchuan to discuss the ecology and future of the catering industry with him.

This is a normal situation. A big tree attracts wind. The secret base has been so popular recently. It is such a big piece of fat pork. Many people want to imitate and learn and get a piece of the pie.

Brother Chuan misunderstood something and quickly explained: "I...I didn't disclose to them the suppliers and the product practices of our store..."

These are all The store's little secret.

Brother Chuan was afraid that Anting would misunderstand that he would betray these little secrets.

Unexpectedly.

Anting waved his hand and explained: "Brother Chuan, you made a mistake. We don't need to hide it. Instead, we should teach them how to open a store, step by step..."

That’s right!

Franchise, this is the so-called downstream.

"Ah...!?" Brother Chuan was startled at first, and then he suddenly realized: "Is this... is this the downstream you mentioned?"

"Well, yes, Although we are trying our best to expand, our strength is limited, and we cannot really rely on our own capital to open one store after another. We need some external help...

Furthermore, we are just a beverage store, not a high-tech one. In the technology industry, others cannot make exactly the same product, but we can’t stop them from learning from it and lowering the price... The best way is to let them join.”

A small beverage shop has no business secrets at all. With domestic piracy and imitation capabilities, strong competitors will soon appear in less than a year or two.

Rather than letting them figure it out on their own, let them join in.

You can also make money from them.

Although it is similar to the star franchise stores of later generations, Anting can guarantee the profits of franchisees at this stage. The domestic market is huge. He has this confidence and is not just trying to make money.

As for the future, who can say for sure?

At this moment, Brother Chuan truly realized how big the appetite of the young man in front of him was, and for the first time he felt truly in awe in his heart.

The success of the first store only made Brother Chuan a little admired; but when Anting revealed the next strategy, Brother Chuan was truly in awe.

This person... looks carefree and even a little salty, but actually has everything planned in his heart.

After the matter of opening the company was settled, Anting asked Gu Xueli to post some recruitment posts on the online forum. It didn’t require too many people, just form a team of seven or eight people.

The most important thing is the leader.

I may feel sorry for Brother Chuan when I say this, but after all, we are starting a company, notIn the store, Brother Chuan is not capable enough to be the leader alone. He needs a real management talent.

Brother Chuan also understood. Although he was a little concerned, he quickly let go.
