Chapter 45 Business
During dinner, Guo Zizhao shared his thoughts with his parents.Dad nodded when he heard it, "Well, I discussed this issue with your mother. I will go to the physical institute with you at that time, and it is not appropriate for your mother to stay in Yun County alone. Anyway, it is a suspension of pay. It’s the same if you stay in your job and simply move to Rongcheng to start a business. It’s just that you haven’t figured out what to do yet.”

"Well, we've been thinking about it for a while," my mother continued, "but I haven't figured out what to do. You are reviewing for the college entrance examination, and we didn't discuss it with you for fear of delaying your studies. Now that the college entrance examination is over, you have Come up with any ideas, let’s discuss together.”

"I've been thinking about it for two days, and I have an idea to tell you." Guo Zizhao thought for a while, "When I went to the competition, I walked around the sports institute when I was free. There are several universities nearby. Hou Ci, Southwest University for Nationalities and Rongcheng University of Traditional Chinese Medicine are all nearby, and the commercial streets nearby are also good. I mean, sell or rent out the storefronts in the county, and rent a storefront near the Sports Institute. As for What kind of business do you want to do? I thought about it and opened a video store."

"Video stores?"

"Yes, I thought about it. Audio-visual stores sell tapes. You can see that there are many pop music tapes on the streets of Yun County. This has been relatively popular in recent years, and pop music from Hong Kong and Taiwan is still very popular. Welcome. Besides, I’m not afraid to sell this product. It’s just that the summer vacation is fine. I’m going to rent a store next to the Sports Institute with my dad first, and then go to Guangzhou to buy. There are a lot of pop music tapes there. Take care of the family business here first, and then you can come to Rongcheng next month."

Guo Zizhao also had his own considerations for choosing to open a video store.First, this business has been on fire for nearly 90 years from the mid-2005s to 10.Guo Zizhao remembers that not long after he started his freshman year, almost everyone had a Walkman. Listening to pop songs was the main function, and of course he would occasionally listen to English tapes.At the beginning of my junior year, I slowly started to switch to portable CDs.CDs are also selling very well. At least Guo Zizhao bought a lot of them within two years of working after graduation and went home to listen to music.In addition, in the past few years, VCDs have begun to become popular on the streets. Families with better conditions will buy a VCD to watch movies and sing karaoke at home.Not to mention the uncles and aunties who sang karaoke in parks and squares when they had nothing to do. Their energy was no less than that of square dancing in later generations.

Second, there are quite a few universities, middle schools, and residential areas near the Sports Institute, and these are the main force for buying audio-visual products.In addition, the nearby Wuhou Memorial Temple, Baihua Park and People's Square are all good places for leisure and entertainment.The location is also very suitable.

Thirdly, Guo Zizhao can be regarded as someone who has experienced it. With the experience of later generations, there are quite a few popular song tapes.This ensures that the tape will not go unsold.Besides, this business is relatively leisurely. My mother only needs to check the store to collect money, so I don't have to worry too much.Moreover, this business can also make use of my mother's musical expertise, and I guess my mother will be more acceptable.

Finally, the investment in such a store will not be too high, 3 to [-] yuan per store is enough, and it is guaranteed to pay back in half a year.

In fact, Guo Zizhao remembered that there was another more profitable business in the past few years, which was to open an Internet cafe.However, Guo Zizhao felt that the investment in opening an Internet cafe was too large, and no one with four to five million yuan would not be able to scale up.The second thing is that the reputation of operating Internet cafes is not very good.Internet cafes are generally full of mixed fish and dragons, and the atmosphere is smoky. If you become famous in the future, it may have a bad influence on yourself.And for this business, I guess my mother may not be able to accept it.Three, this industry still needs certain computer skills. It is still a bit difficult to find a network administrator and maintenance personnel who are familiar with computers.In the end, the supervision of Internet cafes will become more and more strict in the future, Guo Zizhao is still afraid of getting into trouble, so he just forgets about it.

Guo Zizhao told his parents all the advantages of opening an audio-visual store that he thought of, and then said, "You don't have to worry about the money, I can make it up first. In the few competitions in the first half of this year, my prize money It’s almost 1 yuan. Now it’s the university holiday, and the business at the sports institute is off-season. There may be a lot of shops for rent. We can just go and have a look, and rent it if it’s suitable. Simply decorate it, and the school will start in September It can be opened."

Mom thought for a long time, and finally believed in Guo Zizhao's vision.After all, Guo Zizhao's analysis is very reasonable, and Guo Zizhao's vision of making money from investments in the past few times is still very powerful.Therefore, my mother handed over all the preparations to Guo Zizhao, and asked my father to be in charge.I am sitting in Yun County, and I plan to finish the business here within a month.

In addition, my mother also said one thing, that is, let the two go to Rongcheng to see Erniang.When I called a few days ago, Erniang said that something happened at home.Guo Zizhao has had many opportunities to go to Rongcheng with his father in the past six months, and he has also been to Erniang's house several times.I also ate several times with my cousin and cousin's husband.Guo Zizhao suddenly remembered, if I remember correctly, my cousin and her husband should be laid off this year.Later, the two went to set up a stall and started a small business by themselves. Although they were honest and capable, neither of them had any investment vision. Although they made some money, their lives were not considered rich.

After his parents moved to Rongcheng in the previous life, they often walked around with Erniang's family, so when Guo Zizhao returned to Rongcheng to visit relatives, he often went to Erniang's house to visit.Therefore, I am very familiar with Erniang's family.If this is the case, then this audio-visual store can let my cousin and my cousin's husband help me to look at the store. My cousin once took a college correspondence class majoring in accounting, and my cousin's husband also worked in sales in the factory, so for the two Guo Zizhao is very reassured about his human ability.After all, we are all relatives, and the blood relationship is quite close, which makes my mother happy.

After the family discussed it, Guo Zizhao and his father took the train to Chengdu with 5 yuan the next day. 5 yuan is almost half of the family's savings.It is worth mentioning that the train from Yunxian County to Rongcheng was finally opened to traffic in late June.Although the whole journey takes nearly 6 hours by car, it still takes 6 hours less than taking a long-distance bus, and the space for activities is larger and it is much more comfortable.

When they arrived in Rongcheng, Guo Zizhao and his father first went to the guest house of the Sports Institute to open a room.Then I went to Uncle Li to inquire about the situation of my father's transfer.Uncle Li was a little surprised that Guo Zizhao and his father came to the door suddenly, but when he learned that Guo Zizhao was going to rent a storefront to do business for his mother, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Your baby... I don't know how you fuck like this all day long Overthinking. Don't delay the training?"

"Don't worry, there will be no delay. The next competition is still more than two months away. Isn't it the Universiade? I will continue to bring you two championships back then." Guo Zizhao said confidently.

"Well," Uncle Li nodded. He recognized Guo Zizhao's strength, turned his head and said to the old man, "There is no problem with the transfer, I have already said hello. I will notify you in mid-August, when the time comes You can just come over and go through the formalities. I can't help you with business matters, if you rent the house and tell me, I can find someone to get the business license quickly. "

"Okay. Thank you, Uncle Li." Guo Zizhao readily agreed.With such a big backer like Uncle Li, what can't be done in this area, hehe...

……

In the next two days, Guo Zizhao and his father visited several commercial streets near the sports institute.Guo Zizhao has a total of three storefronts for rent, all of which have two-story buildings.About [-] square meters on the first floor can be used as a storefront, [-] square meters on the second floor can be used as a warehouse, and there is a small room for people to live in.

One is near the north gate of the Sports Institute, opposite a large accommodation complex and Shude Middle School is also nearby. Even if a store is opened now, the business will be good.After all, there are many residents in this community, and the middle school students are still making up their classes, so the flow of people is also good.These are the main groups of consumers.

One of the other two stores is near Wuhou Temple East Street at the east gate of the Sports Institute. This street is a commercial street connecting the Sports Institute, University for Nationalities, Wuhou Temple and the TV station. Now there are fewer people because of the holiday, but once the school starts Golden location.The other store is a little farther away, but it's only two stops away.Near Confucian Temple Back Street, there are also Rongcheng University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shishi Middle School and People's Park nearby, which is also a rare and good place.

Finally, Guo Zizhao gritted his teeth and rented all three places.Anyway, Guo Zizhao is also planning to open several branches, so he can do it in one step, so that he can occupy the place first, so as to avoid competitors coming to grab business in the future.The average rent of the three stores is 1 yuan per year, and the annual rent is paid once a year. However, Guo Zizhao signed a long-term contract for a total of five years.Five years later, the business is estimated to have started to decline.

Seeing Guo Zizhao's big money, my father was frightened for a while. He didn't do anything, and went out with 6000 yuan.But Guo Zizhao patted his chest and said, money is not a problem, not enough money from his private house to cover it.

After signing the contract and getting the keys, Guo Zizhao and his father briefly cleaned the store on Wuhou Temple East Street, and then moved the luggage from the guest house.The two of you are planning to live here for the past few days. Anyway, summer is convenient, and a mat will do the trick.

The next day, Dad and Guo Zizhao found Uncle Li for help and went to apply for a business license.Looking at the contracts of the three stores in his hand, Uncle Li couldn't help but click his tongue, and then silently gave a thumbs up, "Boy, you're a big boss. Be aggressive!"

The next step is to go to Er Niang's house to find out what my cousin and cousin's husband are saying.Sure enough, the couple who were worried about being laid off immediately cheered up when they heard that Guo Zizhao was going to ask them to help look after the store.Guo Zizhao also generously said that the salary of both of them is 700 yuan per month, and a bonus will be given at the end of the year.Let the two get started now, and plan to open the store at the North Gate in early August. If the business is good, let them be the store managers.The cousin and cousin-in-law also quickly expressed their determination, saying that their own business would definitely be done well.

Guo Zizhao first took the two of them to see three stores, gave detailed instructions, and then handed over the decoration to the two of them.Decoration in this era was also very simple, just paint the walls, make a door, and run electrical wires.Just purchase some shelves and audio-visual equipment and you're basically done.Guo Zizhao drew another sketch and roughly described the effect he wanted after the decoration.It has to look trendy and stylish from the outside.

Leaving 5000 yuan for decoration and shelf purchases, Guo Zizhao and his father flew to Guangzhou to buy goods the next day.Originally, my father was afraid that Guo Zizhao would spend too much money, and the money would not be enough.But after Guo Zizhao threw out his passbook, Dad immediately shut up.With such a son who can make money, why bother?

The trip to Guangzhou was also very smooth. Guo Zizhao collected a lot in the wholesale market and scanned a lot of classic pop song tapes that he remembered in his previous life.What are Hong Kong's Four Heavenly Kings, Beyond, Ye Qianwen, and Faye Wong, Taiwan's Chang Xinzhe, Zhou Huajian, Zhang Yusheng, and Lin Yilian, and mainland China's Guo Feng, Black Panther, Tang Dynasty, Na Ying, Tian Zhen, etc.In the end, I asked for tens of thousands of dollars of goods and asked the merchant to consign them to Rongcheng.In the end, I also left the phone numbers of several big merchants, so that I can contact them for replenishment in the future.

 Thank you for your support.The recent recommendation tickets and favorites are increasing very slowly. Friends who like it can recommend more.Sincerely, Momo!
