Chapter 78: Something must be wrong when things are abnormal!

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds.

Ye Ningyu said in a low voice as usual:

"Yes, I'm sorry, Xia Tian... I've been taking care of my mom these past two days, so... I haven't been online yet."

"Hmm? Auntie is seriously ill recently?"

"No, no, I took her out to relax."

"Then why don't you have time at night?"

“Sometimes when I write a question too late, I forget it.”

"Don't forget to go boating in the park with me tomorrow, and then we'll go to school together in the afternoon."

Having said this, Xiao Ye on the other end of the phone fell silent again.

It took several seconds before he spoke again.

"Well... I have to go buy medicine for my mother tomorrow."

"Okay then, see you at school tomorrow night."

"Well...see you summer classmate."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Tian stared at the phone, feeling that something was strange.

But thinking back to what Xiao Ye said just now, I couldn’t figure out what was wrong.

......

May 3rd is the last day of Labor Day holiday.

I had to go back to school for evening self-study at night, and when I was in my senior year of high school, I entered the final 34-day countdown.

Xia Tian had just finished lunch when he received a call from Tang Hao.

"Boss, there is another person who wants to cooperate with you..."

"I won't go over there. Just give him the contract. If he's not happy with it, just let him go."

Xia Tian said nonchalantly.

He now only needs people to join in, because this will allow him to continue to generate income in the future.

In order to save some trouble, Xia Tian directly let Tang Hao manage all the contracts.

Of course, Xia Tian also promised Tang Hao a 2% commission from the museum he was in charge of.

"Well, boss, why don't you come over? I've told him that he wants to see you no matter what..."

Xia Tian narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay, then ask him to wait for me in the coffee shop. I'll be there soon."

"good."

End the conversation with Tang Hao.

Xia Tian thought about it and realized that she had to go to school at five o'clock anyway, and if she went back and forth to change into school uniform and get her schoolbag, she might be too late.

I might as well change my clothes and go over there.

After finishing, I went directly to school for evening self-study.

"I haven't seen Xiaoye for three days. I miss her so much. I have to pinch her face as much as I can!"

Xia Tian talked to himself and rode his bike to the museum.

Tang Hao immediately took him into the coffee shop.

"Boss, the man who came to see you this time is called Jiang Jianwei. Half of the express delivery stations in Bei'an are under his command. He has a pretty impressive background."

"Jiang Jianwei?"

"right."

Hearing this name, Xia Tian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He had an impression of Jiang Jianwei.

In his previous life, when he was in the middle of starting a business, he met this person at a dinner party with a few big guys.

"Hiss, I didn't expect to cause a butterfly effect and make such a big shot notice me."

Xia Tian murmured and walked into the coffee shop.

When Jiang Jianwei saw Xia Tian, ​​he immediately stood up and extended his hand to him:

"Hello, Boss Xia. My name is Jiang Jianwei. I have heard of you for a long time. As the rumors say, you are really young and promising!"

"Mr. Jiang, thank you for your praise."

There were some surprises in the summer.

Because he did not see the same surprise in Jiang Jianwei's eyes as in the other franchisees.

It was as if Jiang Jianwei had already figured out all his information before coming.

What's more, this summer I came here wearing school uniform and carrying a schoolbag.

"Boss Xia, let's not beat around the bush. I'm not here to join you like the other people who have approached you these days. I think that's meaningless.

I know you don't want to accept investment to open a branch, but I still want to give it a try. I can continue to provide new ideas for transforming the Museum of Broken Relationships, and I hope you can accept my investment.

You are a smart young man and you must know that you will not make more money by continuing to operate in the current model. ”

Xia Tian looked at Jiang Jianwei and did not respond immediately.

But I have already made a plan in my mind.

What he was waiting for was someone like Jiang Jianwei, who was not looking for short-term gains.

Because Xia Tian wanted to make continuous profits from the Museum of Broken Relationships, if he allowed those people from the past two days to invest in it.

From then on, he had to keep coming up with new ideas himself to innovate the Museum of Broken Relationships.

This is not what summer is meant to be.

But now that Jiang Jianwei took the initiative to speak out about this, Xia Tian knew that it was time to sell the museum.

For him, the Museum of Broken Relationships was intended to be sold from the very beginning.

Because he needs to obtain a large amount of funds in a short period of time, at least not less than 400,000.

It is simply impossible to make money slowly from the Museum of Broken Relationships. Only by selling them all in one go can this goal be achieved quickly.

"Haha, Mr. Jiang, you are really straightforward. Then I will tell you the truth directly. I don't plan to have anyone invest in this museum... I can sell it to you directly."

"What? Sell it directly to me?!"

Jiang Jianwei had thought of a lot of excuses before coming, but he didn't expect Xia Tian to give such an answer.

Why the hell doesn't this guy play by the rules?

"Yes, I'll sell it to you directly."

"Why?"

"Because I had no intention of keeping it from the beginning, I only rented the museum for two months, and now there are only a dozen days left before it expires. As you can see now, I am still a high school student and will soon take the college entrance examination.

Then I had to go to college and had no time to run it. This museum will only die a slow death in my hands and will greatly delay my studies. ”

"After all, my ideal is to swim in the ocean of knowledge and learning..."

Jiang Jianwei was even more surprised.

The Museum of Broken Relationships was only rented for two months? !

Jiang Jianwei really wanted to ask more, but then he thought about how he had found out a lot of information before coming here.

It is clear how many people who wanted to invest have been rejected by Xia Tian in the past two days. Now that Xia Tian has decided to sell it to him, it is definitely a great thing.

He immediately asked: "How much do you plan to sell it to me?"

"It's not expensive, 200,000 is enough. Since you want to invest, you must have checked my daily turnover before coming. Even if the popularity continues to decline, you can get your money back in two months. Besides, I have accepted so many franchisees these days. As long as there is one more branch, you will earn one more cent.

But...in addition to the 200,000, I have another request. That is, after selling it to you, I must continue to take 10% of the museum's profits from all franchisees. ”

Jiang Jianwei immediately refused when he heard this:

"Impossible! I can promise you 200,000, but I can't promise you a 15% continuous return. If you think 200,000 is a loss, I can add another 100,000."

"Don't be so hasty to refuse. This 10% profit will decrease by 2% every month. After five months, I will not draw any profit from it."

Summer has a dull complexion.

He had thought about this a long time ago.

Because part of the money from selling the Museum of Broken Relationships and the money he earned these days would be used to pay for Xiao Ye's mother's surgery after the college entrance examination.

The other part will be invested all at once in July.

The return on investment will not be seen until November, which means there will be a five-month vacuum period.

If you want funds to start a business again, you have to rely on a continuous return of 10%.

Jiang Jianwei's expression eased a little after hearing Xia Tian's explanation.

He thought about it for a long time and finally agreed.

Because he also has his own ambitions.

He firmly believed that if he took over the first Museum of Broken Relationships in China, the profits would be multiplied several times.

But I didn't expect that Xia Tian had planned to sell it from the beginning.

"Okay, then I have to tell you something... Two months ago, I signed an agreement with the owner who rented the venue to me. Two months later, the monthly rent of this venue will increase tenfold from the initial 8,000 yuan..."

"Fuck!"

Jiang Jianwei couldn't help but swear.

Eighty thousand yuan a month in rent, are you kidding me?

"Ahem, don't get excited, don't get excited. It's only this high for the first month. You can talk to the owner of the venue yourself later. I started from scratch, and all my money was spent on decoration. If I don't sign this agreement, the museum won't be able to open at all."

Xia Tian smiled awkwardly.

Jiang Jianwei's mood finally calmed down a lot, and he couldn't help but look at Xia Tian again.

At first, he was surprised for a long time when he found out that the boss behind the Museum of Broken Relationships was just a high school student.

After some negotiations, Jiang Jianwei increasingly felt that this young man had a formidable business acumen.

"Okay, so I've been taken advantage of by you... But it's okay, 80,000 yuan is a small amount of money for me. When are we going to sign the contract?"

"I'm available anytime, but you have to transfer the money to me before signing the contract."

To be on the safe side, Xia Tian will only sign the contract after confirming that the funds have arrived.

Otherwise, if anything unexpected happens, all his work for this month will be in vain.

You will also miss the only springboard to success.

Jiang Jianwei nodded: "Okay, let's exchange contact information. I'll contact you when I have the money ready."

......

Xia Tian sat down at the last second before the evening self-study bell rang.

But Ye Ningyu's seat was empty.

Her schoolbag was not seen in the desk pocket either.

"Hmm? Little Leaf hasn't come yet?"

Summer was quite unexpected.

Because no matter what time, Xiao Ye is always the first one to sit down in the class.

You're late today?

When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong!

Xia Tian immediately went to the bathroom, found a corner seat and squatted down, then took out his cell phone and called Ye Ningyu.

Soon, Xiao Ye's voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Xia Tian classmate..."

"Why didn't you come to school tonight? Did something happen?"

"No, no... I took the wrong bus when I bought medicine for my mom, and I'm still on the way."

"You're such an idiot, how can you take the wrong bus? How long will it take you to get there?"

Xiao Ye Zi paused and said weakly, "I, I just asked Teacher Wang for leave, so I won't go to school tonight... I have to send the medicine back to my mother."

"Not coming?"

"Um..."

Xia Tian was silent for a few seconds and his brows couldn't help but frown.

The last time he spoke to Xiao Ye on the phone, he felt something was strange, and now the feeling is even worse.

This is not the first time Xiao Ye Zi has gone to buy medicine.

How come it happened that I hadn’t seen him for three days this time, and then I took the wrong bus when I went to buy medicine?

How could it be such a coincidence?
