Chapter 57: 50-50 split, no way
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Anan realized that it was inconvenient not to have a car. Even if she wanted to connect with a friend, she needed the friend to take a taxi by themselves, which felt so low.
But considering the current car and house prices, Zhou Anan would rather buy three houses than buy a car to show off.
In a few years, one house will be able to buy more than a dozen cars of the same price today.
Whoever buys it is an idiot.
"An An, here."
After measuring the distance to the gate of Haizhou Middle School, Zhou Anan heard the call of her childhood classmate and went to greet him with a smile.
As for those so-called hugs between brothers, Zhou Anan simply ignored them.
The reason is definitely not because Zhou Xiaoke is 1.85 meters tall and he himself is less than 1.7 meters tall, absolutely not.
“Is this the school you run?”
"Yeah, just did it."
Under the guidance of Zhou Anan, Zhou Xiaoke visited the classrooms on the third floor, and his impression of this elementary school classmate changed directly from admiration to worship.
It's only been a few days since we last saw each other, and the school has already been set up. That's awesome.
Cultured people are different.
"Come on, I'll show you where to live."
Seeing that the school was about to end, several parents were already waiting in the rest area. Zhou Anan took Zhou Xiaoke to a rental house not far away.
Although most of the houses on Chicheng Road are old, there are quite a few rental houses that are ready for move-in. Zhou Anan had already found one in the afternoon and paid the deposit and three months' rent directly.
"I'll go back and take care of things for a while. I'll come find you later."
"It's okay, you go ahead and do your work."
After settling Zhou Xiaoke, Zhou Anan trotted back to the training department, just in time for the lower grades of the elementary school to get out of school.
With the workload of lower grade primary school students, they should have finished their homework an hour earlier. However, Zhou Anan specially arranged a half-hour activity class and a twenty-minute tutoring class, so the school time was extended to 7:30.
Otherwise, a small classroom with seven or eight students would not require two teachers.
This kind of system is also what many parents like. It is unlike other tutoring classes that just teach and then leave it at that without any measures to improve grades.
Sitting behind her desk, Zhou Anan kept issuing receipts. Except for one student in the lower grade of elementary school who had not paid, all the other students had paid.
The children who had just received their points cards swarmed into the points redemption area, scrambling to grab the things they liked, fearing that they would be snatched away by others.
Zhou Anan felt that the snacks and toys he had bought earlier, worth nearly two thousand yuan, would not last for more than a few hours and would need to be restocked tomorrow.
However, once the children’s points run out, the rate of restocking can be slowed down.
"Goodbye, Xiao Qiqi."
Zhou Anan felt a little reluctant as she watched the little girl being reluctantly led away by her mother, but she had no intention of lowering the price to attract her to sign up.
It can be seen that the parent also likes the environment here, but is hesitant because of the price.
However, Zhou Anan would never set a precedent of lowering prices without reason. Otherwise, what if other parents found out? Would she have to lower the prices for all of them?
With many years of experience in managing training courses, Zhou Anan has encountered this situation many times. Small-scale training courses can indeed attract parents with low prices, but if they want to become bigger and stronger, the charging system must not be chaotic.
I've suffered a lot and my heart has become a little hardened.
If the training classes are really on track in the future and a scholarship system is set up to reduce the burden on some families in disguise, there will be no problem at all.
After seeing off the lower grade students, the upper grade students also left school one after another. Only five children who were slow in doing their homework continued to do their homework in the classroom.
With another wave of charges, the number of things in the points redemption area has been reduced again, making it look a bit empty.
For children, there is no such thing as rationally redeeming points.
At this point, there are 49 students in the primary school department, and the number of students who have paid tuition has reached 43.
After sending all the junior high school students home, it was already 8:10.
Fortunately, it was just the beginning of the school year, so junior high school students didn’t have much homework. Basically, all three grades took a 20-minute intensive math class.
Zhou Anan told the senior students not to clean up yet, but to go to the old campus early to catch the school bus, otherwise there would be no school bus after 8:30, and taking a taxi would cost another 40 yuan.
He couldn't let the senior students pay for taxis themselves, that was too inhumane.
After simply cleaning the first floor, Zhou Anan took advantage of the light of the street lamp to go find Zhou Xiaoke.
"Let's go check out the location of the store first."
Seeing that Zhou Xiaoke was in good spirits, Zhou Anan took him to Donghu Road and introduced the surrounding street environment.
"If there is no problem, I will sign the contract with the landlord tomorrow."
Pointing to the store at the corner of Donghu Road and Huipu Road, Zhou Anan said with a smile.
“How much is the store rent?”
Zhou Xiaoke didn't ask any questions about the location of the store, as he didn't have much experience. He just asked about the rent.
"I'll pay for the rent and store renovation, and you'll be responsible for sales and after-sales. I'm usually not very free. How about a 50-50 split?"
Having anticipated the other party's thoughts, Zhou Anan expressed what was in her mind.
As a reborn person with positive emotional intelligence and IQ, Zhou Anan did not say anything polite like "you get 60% and I get 40%". A 50-50 split was enough to show his sincerity.
The profit is nearly hundreds of thousands a year, and one percent can be tens of thousands, which is enough to buy an apartment in the center of Lizhou these days. It is not something to be joked about.
It is better not to test the trust between people with money.
"How can this be possible? I'll pay half of the rent and renovation costs, you pay 70% and I pay 30%."
After sitting on the long-distance bus and thinking for several hours, Zhou Xiaoke made up his mind to get on the big boat of this elementary school classmate. How could he possibly take advantage of him?
These days, making money is not important, relationships are more important.
If it weren’t for his elementary school classmates, would he be doing so well in Lizhou now?
Money is bullshit sometimes.
"Then how about this, you pay half of the rent, and I pay for the renovations, you pay 60% and I pay 40%, that's it."
Zhou Anan secretly praised her childhood classmate's emotional intelligence and made a decision with a smile.
This elementary school classmate is worth making friends with, he is so sensible.
Zhou Xiaoke declined twice, but seeing the other party's firm attitude, he agreed to the plan.
After deciding on a general plan, the two went to a roadside stall on Chicheng Road to have some midnight snack, and then went back to rest.
Early the next morning, Zhou Anan, who had just finished running, opened the door for He Yuanyuan and others who had arrived early in the morning, and asked them to start cleaning.
After a short rest, Zhou Anan rushed to the bus station with Zhou Xiaoke and boarded a long-distance bus to Shaocheng.
Electric bicycles, commonly known as "electric donkeys", became popular in major cities in the early 21st century. After several years of development, they will flood the streets and alleys of cities across the country. The number is growing faster than that of bicycles in the 1980s and 1990s.
The bicycle kingdom has since been replaced by the electric donkey kingdom.
In 2005, Jiangxi Province, whose economy ranks among the top in the country, has already laid the foundation for the development of small electric furnaces and will enter a period of rapid growth in the next two years.
As the first to start the production of electric bicycles, the Chengbei Industrial Zone in Shaocheng now has more than 20 electric bicycle factories.
"Okay, thank you for your help."
After shaking hands with the workshop director, Zhou Anan and his partner walked out of the factory gate.
Looking up at the dazzling sunlight, Zhou Anan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
This was the ninth factory the two of them had visited, and it had been a full two and a half hours since they had lunch at 11:30 in the morning.
The biggest reception leader was a factory director, and most of them were workshop directors and a middle-level receptionist. Most of them drank boiled water.
There is no sincerity at all.
