Hearing Du Chen's words, Li Dewen was instantly disappointed, because Du Chen was talking nonsense and he couldn't figure out what Du Chen was thinking. Xiami on the side was a little happy in his heart. After all, if Du Chen didn't have any ideas, he would definitely not ask them how they planned to run the business, but would directly reject them. Now that Du Chen asked the question, it meant that Du Chen still had some intention.
"Student Du Chen, we haven't even rented a venue yet, so it's too early to have any ideas..."
Du Chen was a little disappointed when he heard Xiami's words, but before he could say anything, Xiami continued.
"But I've actually thought about it myself. If it really works, we'll definitely start with big promotions and discounts to attract people. Plus, with so many of us idle people, we can offer to buy food for everyone, and then we can just add a little money."
After hearing what Xiami said, Du Chen nodded slightly, but he felt in his heart that this method was very ordinary. It was a very common way of playing and there was nothing new about it. It might not attract many people to play.
"I have another idea. If we can really open a roller skating rink, I can't make the decision on this idea. I can only see what you think!"
Xiami was very smart. With just one sentence, he subconsciously tied Du Chen together. Du Chen understood what Xiami meant, but he said nothing. Instead, he continued to ask Xiami.
"Then tell me about it. Your boss is here anyway."
"Here's what I'm thinking: when the place first opens, girls can come and roller skate for free! Later on, girls can roller skate for half price!"
"Haha, yes, that's a good idea!"
After hearing Xiami's opinion, Du Chen clapped his hands and thought it was a good idea. This trick will be used frequently in the future. He has never heard of any store using this trick.
"That's impossible! How much money will be lost?"
Du Chen was praising Xiami, but Li Dewen became anxious and directly opposed Xiami's opinion.
Du Chen's laughter got stuck in his throat, and Xiami's smile froze on his face. Both of them were shocked by Li Dewen's words. Xiami's first thought was why did I follow such a lousy boss, and the second thought was whether I could get rid of the boss and open this roller skating rink by myself.
"Why are you all looking at me like that? What's wrong? Am I wrong? How much money will be lost from the free ones? One more girl comes to play, and one less boy comes to play, and that means one less person to earn money. Am I wrong?"
Li Dewen hadn't reacted yet, but he spoke to Du Chen and Xiami with confidence.
Du Chen sighed and looked around. He found that among Li Dewen's younger brothers, some were thoughtful, while others nodded in agreement. Du Chen felt even more that he should refuse Li Dewen's cooperation.
"Hey, Xiami, talk to your boss and explain why you want to do this! I don't want to talk anymore, just leave me alone!"
Du Chen sighed and leaned back on the small chair with a look of despair. It was true what people say: I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, but I'm afraid of pig-like teammates!
"Boss, let me explain it to you!"
Xiami sighed inwardly, but still forced himself to explain to Li Dewen.
"Boss, let's put it this way. We let girls in for free, but what if the roller skating rink is full of girls? What do you think will happen?"
Xiami guided Li Dewen to think for himself, wanting Li Dewen to understand his thoughts.
"What's going on? Aren't a bunch of girls coming here for free? Then won't we have fewer roller skates to rent out? And won't our income be even lower!"
Li Dewen said to Xiami.
Xiami resisted the urge to slap his boss's stupid head, took a deep breath, and began to explain directly to Li Dewen. He had given up the idea that Li Dewen would wake up.
"Boss, if there are more girls at the roller skating rink, will it attract more boys to come over? The more girls there are, the more boys will want to come over!"
Xiami expressed his thoughts and judgments in one breath, and the younger brothers beside him nodded in sudden realization. That's right, aren't they the same? They know where there are girls, so they swarm over there. If there are more girls at the roller skating rink, wouldn't the boys also swarm over there?
"Oh! That's how it is!"
It was not until this time that Li Dewen suddenly realized and said, then he was ashamed and angry. He was so stupid that Du Chen must have looked down on him.
"Du Chen, what do you think of this idea?"
After calming down, Li Dewen asked Du Chen again with a smug look on his face.
Du Chen glanced at Li Dewen and said with disdain.
"I just said this was a good idea! Didn't you say it was a no-no? It's like losing money!"
"Hey, my brain isn't working very well. How about I ask Xiami for some advice?"
Since he had already lost face, Li Dewen simply became shameless and spoke to Du Chen with a proud look on his face.
"Tsk, not having enough brains doesn't matter, but not listening to others' advice when you don't understand is stupid and bad! Haven't you heard the saying, 'I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, I'm afraid of pig-like teammates!'"
Du Chen was not polite and directly criticized Li Dewen.
"Hey, I've never done business before! This is my first time, I won't do it again! Every failure is a learning experience!"
Li Dewen filtered the limited cultural knowledge in his head and finally came up with a sentence that was more appropriate for the situation.
Looking at Li Dewen's shameless smile, Du Chen finally discovered one of his strengths, which was his thick skin.
"Du Chen, would you like to invest in this? Let's open a roller skating rink together!"
Seeing that Du Chen didn't say anything, Li Dewen asked again.
"Brother Li, what the hell, then tell me how you plan to let me participate? We've been talking for a long time, how do you want me to participate?"
Du Chen thought about it and decided to listen to what conditions the other party offered. After talking for a while, Du Chen now had some ideas of his own, but he had to first see the other party's plan and sincerity.
"Student Du Chen, we're wondering if you could give us some financial help?"
Finally, the core of the whole matter was revealed, so Xiami became much more cautious. After thinking about it for a long time, Xiami decided to tell the truth. Li Dewen stared at Du Chen closely, wanting to know what Du Chen was thinking.
"Oh? Financial matters? Never mind, let me get this straight. Do you want to borrow money directly from me, or do you want me to invest in the business? Whether it's a loan or a stake, how can you guarantee that my interests won't be harmed?"
Du Chen decided to give the other party a chance and also give himself a choice. After all, he had nearly 20,000 yuan in his small treasury. If the other party could guarantee his own interests, it would not be a bad idea to take out the money.
