"Brother Qin, I'm sorry, there's something going on in the store over there, I'm late."
"fine."
Qin Tian smiled and waved his hand.
"Then let's go find a place to have a meal and chat while eating? It's past eleven o'clock, and it's not too early."
Zhao Mingyuan looked at the time on his watch and suggested with a smile.
"Okay!"
Qin Tian smiled and nodded in agreement, looked at Han Qian aside and invited: "Sister Qian, will you come with us?"
"I won't go, I still need to look after this store!"
Han Qian hurriedly shook her head and declined.
Qin Tian didn't press any further, and followed Zhao Mingyuan away from the Internet cafe with Xia Nuannuan.
This time, he chose a nearby restaurant that specializes in local cuisine. After ordering a few dishes and a soup, Qin Tian and Zhao Mingyuan chatted for a while and discussed the next expansion plan.
"Brother Qin, my idea is that since the business of these three stores is so good, we will just deal with the bigger ones this time."
Zhao Mingyuan's face was red and his eyes were eager to try.
"How to say?"
Qin Tian took a sip of the cup of tea handed over by Xia Nuannuan and asked with a smile.
Zhao Mingyuan looked at him with burning eyes and said sternly: "My idea is that we will open ten stores this time and strive to grab the biggest piece of cake in Jiangcheng's high-end Internet cafe market at once."
"Ten stores?"
Qin Tian was stunned for a moment, shocked by Brother Zhao's courage.
"That's right!"
Zhao Mingyuan nodded heavily and continued: "During this period, in addition to the affairs of these three stores, I have also been investigating other competitors in Jiangcheng who have similar positioning to us and pose a threat to us. Let me tell you in detail."
"Well, Brother Zhao, tell me."
Qin Tian nodded seriously.
Afterwards, Zhao Mingyuan carefully elaborated on his investigation results.
During this period, the waiter brought them the dishes and drinks they ordered.
Since Qin Tian had to drive back to school later and it was noon, he didn't drink.
After the dishes were put on the table, the waiter left. Zhao Mingyuan started to unpack the tableware in front of him while continuing to talk.
Qin Tian listened attentively, picked up a piece of fried pork with chili peppers with his chopsticks, and handed it to Xia Nuannuan's bowl naturally.
Just now, after Xia Nuannuan poured a cup of tea for him and Zhao Mingyuan respectively, she helped open his tableware, heated it with the tea on the table, and then placed it neatly in front of him.
Xia Nuannuan was not interested at all in the business they were talking about, so she just went about her own business.
She likes this feeling very much.
I remember when I was young, I often accompanied my parents to have dinner with Lao Xia’s business friends. My mother was also like this, quietly helping them with these chores.
Xia Nuannuan put some of his favorite dishes into Qin Tian's bowl, and then ate her own quietly.
Zhao Mingyuan said a lot, but it is not complicated to sum it up.
Jiangcheng's high-end Internet cafe industry has just started, and the number of competitors that threaten them can be counted on one hand.
Zhao Mingyuan has obviously put in a lot of effort. He has carefully investigated and understood each opponent's competitive advantages and geographical location compared with their Tianming Internet Cafe.
Around 2010, the Internet cafe market was completely saturated, and Internet fees in some places were as low as one yuan an hour.
This also indirectly led to the birth of a new business model such as Internet cafes. The differentiated competitive advantages between them and ordinary Internet cafes allowed high-end Internet cafes to develop rapidly.
At present, in first-tier cities such as Magic City and Imperial City, the Internet cafe market has almost been divided.
But Jiangcheng is still in its infancy, and the market is still big enough.
The two Internet cafe brands that pose the greatest threat to them are one from Shanghai and one from Guangcheng. Both of them are currently occupying the Jiangcheng market.
The backends of those two are large enough, the bosses are rich enough, the geographical location, and the equipment of the Internet cafe are all superior to Tianming Internet Cafe. They have more than three stores, and they are continuing to expand.
Tianming Internet Cafe also has its own advantages, that is, the concept of game-themed Internet cafes has not yet appeared.
Coupled with the previously held League of Legends game competition, it created enough topics and promotion effects for Tianming Internet Cafe.
In terms of popularity, Tianming Internet Cafe is ahead of those two branded Internet cafes.
Zhao Mingyuan drank some of the store's specialty corn ribs soup, and turned his questioning eyes to Qin Tian opposite.
"So, Brother Zhao, do you want to strike first and grab the biggest piece of cake while the popularity of our previous competition is still there?"
Qin Tian smiled and asked back.
To be honest, for him, this is really a pillow for him when he feels sleepy, which coincides with this system task.
"That's right!"
Zhao Mingyuan nodded vigorously and said with a smile: "It's easy to chat with a top student like you, Brother Qin. That's what I think."
Speaking of this, the smile on his face faded and he said solemnly: "Those two companies are backed by big bosses. If we don't seize this opportunity now and give them some more time, a year or even half a year, we will always have no choice but to
Have some soup."
Qin Tian nodded slightly and agreed with his statement.
"Brother Qin, I also know that if you take too long a step, you can easily pull your balls... ahem!"
After Zhao Mingyuan finished speaking, he realized that Xia Nuannuan was still there, and he coughed twice with an embarrassed expression.
Seeing that Xia Nuannuan was buried in her food and didn't hear anything, she breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "But we only have this one chance. If we miss it, it's gone. I'm already this old, so I have to work hard no matter what. It will become a problem for the rest of my life."
Directly provide for old age, if you lose, you will be poorer. Anyway, I have enjoyed it these years."
"Brother Zhao, your attitude is okay!"
Qin Tian praised him with admiration, and then said: "There is no problem on my side. The pace is indeed a bit big, but I believe in your ability, Brother Zhao."
"Very good!"
Zhao Mingyuan patted his thigh with excitement on his face.
"What about the budget? How much more investment is needed?"
Qin Tian asked.
"Most of the costs of our three stores have been recovered, and I have experience this time. If we open another store, the cost can be reduced a little. I still have some savings on hand. If it doesn't work, we can also get a loan from the bank.
, the capital chain should be no problem.”
Zhao Mingyuan said confidently.
He didn't plan for Qin Tian to invest more. The three stores each invested one million before, and Qin Tian's ability to come up with it was enough to shock him.
"The loan probably won't be repaid. I can still take out a little. Four million should be enough, right?"
Qin Tian asked with a smile.
"How much? Four...four million?"
Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but exclaimed, his eyes widened as he looked at him.
Xia Nuannuan, who was eating quietly, glanced at his expression and felt secretly happy in her heart.
Every time she sees someone else being shocked by Qin Tian, she will also feel a little proud.
"Not enough? In fact, I still have more than five million, but I have to keep some to continue trading. If it doesn't work, five million is fine. Leave some for me."
Qin Tian said seriously.
The corner of Zhao Mingyuan's mouth twitched fiercely, and he asked in disbelief: "You all made it from stock trading?"
"Um!"
"Damn, is it so easy for you to make money?"
Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but uttered a curse word, and said with a speechless face: "Then you don't need to open an Internet cafe. You can make money much faster by stock trading."
