Chapter 131: Pass the Flower

On the way home one summer night, I was thinking about buying a laptop.

As a result, as soon as he got back, Xia Zhengguo was sitting in the living room with a smile on his face.

"Xiaotian, I'm back."

"Uh huh, what's wrong, Dad?"

Xia Tian looked at Lao Xia and a look of doubt flashed across his face.

Old Xia chuckled and said, "You are going to college soon, and you are also starting a business, so a computer is a necessity for you.

I discussed it with your mother today and bought you a laptop. Go to your room and take a look. Do you like it? ”

"Laptop?"

Xia Tian opened his mouth slightly and looked at Lao Xia in surprise.

He immediately rushed into his room and found a large box on the floor.

After putting the box in the right position, I was surprised to find that it was actually an "alien" laptop!

This was the best brand in 2013.

This one costs nearly ten thousand yuan!

"Dad, are you crazy with my mom? This computer is almost 10,000 yuan. Tell me the truth, did you use it to hang it around my mom's neck?"

Xia Tian looked at Lao Xia with a strange expression, always feeling that this computer was a little too dreamy.

It wasn't too surprising that his parents bought him a computer.

But this is a computer that costs almost ten thousand yuan!

Xia Zhengguo laughed and said, “What are you talking about, kid? You did well in the exam, and your mother is happy… Actually, when I bought a computer today, I showed you a computer that cost more than 5,000 yuan at the beginning, but your mother insisted that you would use the computer a lot in the future.

I might as well just give you the best one so you don’t have to go to the Internet cafe all the time. ”

Xia Tian looked at Lao Xia.

He then looked at Chen Meijuan who was washing dishes in the kitchen, and was deeply moved.

In his previous life, he had no time to think about what his parents were thinking. In his new life, he felt more and more that his parents really loved him very much.

......

The next day.

I reported to the driving school early in the summer and made an appointment for the test directly.

After all, he has been a driver for more than ten years, and getting a driver's license is just a matter of going through the formalities.

Then, he hurried to the hotel and sent the location to Jiang Jianwei.

At twelve o'clock noon, I finally saw him.

"Brother Xia, congratulations, you got into a 211 university!"

Xia Tian smiled and handed Jiang Jianwei a cigarette.

Then, the two sat together and had a few drinks.

It was only then that Xia Tian got down to business.

"Brother Jiang, let's not be too fussy. You called me so late yesterday. You must have something to talk to me about, right?"

Jiang Jianwei narrowed his eyes and smiled, throwing the cigarette in his hand to the ground, and then he said: "You kid, you are only eighteen years old, but you are really good at socializing and listening to subtexts. You are much better than I was when I was young."

"Then I won't hide it from you... I'm worried. The Museum of Broken Relationships has been seeing less and less revenue since a while ago. If it weren't for the constant emergence of franchise stores, it would have almost no income.

I used to think that this was indeed a sunrise industry, but now I realize that I was a bit too optimistic. This thing simply cannot survive in long-term business. ”

After a pause, Jiang Jianwei smiled bitterly and said, "Did you see through this a long time ago? So when the Museum of Broken Relationships was at its peak, you sold this mess to me directly?"

"Brother, so you are here to call for punishment?"

Xia Tian smiled gently, having expected this.

"That's not the case. We are talking business. I just want to die with a clear conscience. After all, you are just an eighteen-year-old boy. If I really lose money at your hands, I will be a little depressed.

So I want to know the answer, did you know in advance that this thing would not generate sustainable returns, or did you not know? ”

“When I first came up with the idea of ​​a museum of broken relationships, I knew it wouldn’t generate sustainable profits.”

Jiang Jianwei's body visibly stiffened and his expression became somewhat ugly.

In the end, he just nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Xia Tian raised his glass to toast Jiang Jianwei. After drinking it in one gulp, he slowly spoke:

"Brother Jiang, don't be discouraged. I expected that you would come to me for this matter. If you think about it carefully, anyone with a discerning eye will know that this Museum of Broken Relationships cannot be operated for a long time, because it is too easy to replicate. There will be too many competitors with the same content in the market too quickly, so the universality will reduce the profits.

In addition, the Museum of Broken Relationships is a one-time store and not like other physical stores that allow visitors to visit repeatedly, because people cannot keep falling in love. The above two reasons have resulted in the museum being unable to generate sustainable profits. ”

“Although this Museum of Broken Relationships cannot generate sustained profits, as you said, it basically relies entirely on the profits of franchisees.

Therefore, you just need to put in your greatest effort during this period, just like I did before the opening of the Museum of Broken Relationships, keep the popularity at a high level, and you will be able to continuously attract more franchisees. ”

Xia Tian told Jiang Jianwei's current situation in one breath.

Jiang Jianwei was puffing on his cigarette, his face still looking worried:

"You have a thorough understanding of this, but although the method you mentioned can generate popularity in a short period of time and attract franchisees, it is ultimately just a flash in the pan and still has no long-term benefits.

Once the market is saturated, the number of franchisees will gradually decrease until the final profit is negative. ”

Xia Tian smiled softly, crossed his legs, and whispered: "Brother Jiang, you misunderstood what I meant..."

"What's the meaning?"

"I asked you to boost the popularity of the Museum of Broken Relationships in the short term to attract more franchisees, not to increase your short-term profits, but to attract another you."

Jiang Jianwei was still a little confused: "Brother, please explain it clearly. What do you mean by the second me? You scored 610 points in the college entrance examination, but I scored 160 points in the college entrance examination..."

"What I mean is, attract a second person like you. Why did you come to buy my Museum of Broken Relationships? Wasn't it because you knew I had a steady stream of franchisees and very hot profits?

But why didn’t you foresee that the Museum of Broken Relationships would not be able to generate long-term returns? That’s because you haven’t made an accurate analysis of the target audience and future market of the Museum of Broken Relationships!

Therefore, all you need to do now is to replicate what I did back then. After the Museum of Broken Relationships becomes popular, find someone richer than you who can accurately analyze the target audience of the Museum of Broken Relationships in a short period of time to sell it to you. ”

"According to my guess, the Museum of Broken Relationships is now in your hands. Is it worth at least three or four million?"

Hearing this, Jiang Jianwei finally realized what Xia Tian meant.

She looked at him with great shock.

After a while, he came back to his senses and said in a shocked tone: "Isn't this just passing the parcel?"

"Yes, it was a game of pass the parcel from the beginning."

Jiang Jianwei looked at the boy in front of him in disbelief.

I found that his eyes were always calm, without any ripples.

Obviously, he had anticipated long ago that things would develop to this point today.

Logically, Xia Tian wouldn't tell him this.

But Xia Tian still said it.

Jiang Jianwei immediately realized that this was most likely because of his unintentional behavior towards Xia Zhengguo some time ago, which made Xia Tian remember this favor.

If he had just arranged a very ordinary job for Xia Zhengguo at the beginning, he probably wouldn't tell him how to break this situation now.

At this moment, Jiang Jianwei felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

The young man in front of him was truly unfathomable and more mature than he had previously imagined!

......

The next few days passed quickly.

As we enter July, the temperature is getting higher and the sun is getting hotter.

In the summer, I watch the price trend of Bitcoin in front of the computer every day, and make video calls to Xiaoye in my spare time.

In order to prevent Ye Ningyu from getting sunburned, Xia Tian bought sunscreen online and sent it to her.

"I bought you some sunscreen and had it delivered to the city."

"Well, I'll pick it up in a few days."

"It's okay, just ask Ye Shengshi to get it for you."

"Xiao has his own things to do. He is busy making money."

Xia Tian laughed secretly on the other end of the phone:

"How do you know, silly girl, that Ye Shengshi's way of making money every day is to report your whereabouts to me at all times?"

A comfortable life is fleeting.

Until July 6, the peaceful days finally came to an end...
