Force me to be reborn, right?

Chapter 189 Xu Qiaozui, ah Xu Qiaozui!
On the second floor of the coffee shop, Xu Shao listened to Cheng Zhubao's price without changing his expression.

The current profit of this claw machine store is around 30 per month.

Due to the special nature of the store, it can actually continue to operate even during the Chinese New Year.

After all, given the nature of this kind of store, students are one of the mainstream customer groups, so the business will probably not be bad during the winter vacation.

So, if we can maintain this momentum, we can make a profit of more than three million in twelve months.

It is now 14, and the term "Internet celebrity store" has only been used for a short time. People's perception of this type of store is still very different from a few years later.

Many people even just regard it as an ordinary physical store that became popular on the Internet and think that the business can be stable.

This is also one of the reasons why in the past two or three years, many shop owners who opened Internet celebrity stores were able to make a lot of money when they sold their stores.

There are many such examples in reality.

This is also the reason why Cheng Zhu has the confidence to not worry about others taking over at a high price.

This is the situation in recent years!

Internet celebrity stores are valuable and will never have trouble selling!

The capital market is optimistic about Internet celebrity stores.

This has even become a breakthrough for physical stores and a new trend.

Xu Shao comes from a well-off family and he opened an Internet cafe outside the school, so he has experience in running physical stores.

But this is where the problem lies.

Affluent family conditions will make many people not take small amounts of money seriously. They think that they need to broaden their horizons and have a long-term vision and think big.

Therefore, he immediately thought of opening a branch and seeking financing in the venture capital circle.

Another point is that Xu Shao has a Zhang Qiqi by his side.

This internet celebrity school beauty knows all the internet celebrity stores in Hangzhou like the back of her hand. She has checked in at most of them and occasionally chats about them with Xu Shao.

But most of the stores she talked about were very successful stores.

Some may have raised tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in financing.

But despite this, Xu Qiaozui still felt that 600 million was too high.

"Why is your target price 600 million?" He did not bargain, but chose to ask this question first.

"First of all, for a well-run store, do you think the transfer fee would only be one year's profit?" Cheng Zhu said with a stern face, still crossing his legs.

This is just the negotiation mode he chose.

Xu Shao was testing him, and wasn't he also testing Xu Shao?
"First of all, your idea is wrong." Xu Shao frowned.

"Oh?" Cheng Zhu became interested in Xu Qiaozui's opinion.

"I don't think your store can continue to be popular for several years." Xu Shao looked at him with a meaningful and calm look.

"Really? It seems you are not very optimistic about it? Then why did you come here to discuss buying a store?" Cheng Zhu said.

Xu Shao did not reply directly. After thinking for a while, he spoke: "I think the limitations of your store are obvious. I have invested in a small video game arcade that failed, so I know the limitations. A store like yours can only be popular for one year at most!"

Cheng Zhu was happy.

You mean one year?

Okay, okay, that’s okay.

Thank you for thinking so highly of my store.

"So, you are aiming to open a branch? Or, you want to build up the brand and then get a few rounds of financing?" Cheng Zhu looked at him and asked directly.

Xu Shao was drinking coffee calmly, thinking about how to continue the conversation.

But he never expected that Cheng Zhu guessed his thoughts at once and expressed them in such a direct way so quickly.

"I do have this idea, but even if I want to open a branch in the future, I will have to pay for it out of my own pocket and continue to invest. It has little to do with this store. It can only reflect its brand value and fame on the Internet," said Xu Shao.

"Isn't this enough?" Cheng Zhu put down his coffee cup and leaned back in his chair again.

Xu Shao frowned: "Let me tell you what I think."

"I personally think your store will be popular for a year, and I mean from the time it opens. In other words, after I take over, it will last about 10 months."

"So that's about 300 million."

"And the maximum number is 300 million. The actual number is probably lower."

"I don't think the things you're talking about are worth the remaining three million."

Xu Shao’s psychological price range is more than 4 million, and 5 million is the limit.

He knew very well that he would never be able to make back the money he spent just by relying on this "Youlaiwan" outside the Polytechnic University.

Is it equivalent to spending money to buy an opportunity?

An opportunity to make the popular claw machine store bigger and stronger and make a breakthrough!

There's nothing we can do about it. This store is doing so well now, in every aspect.

The foundation is laid perfectly!

This made Xu Shao feel like someone who came to pick peaches.

If this young man Cheng Zhu had my insights, my vision, and my ideas, how could he limit it to this?

"Then make an offer." Cheng Zhu said, "Let's not beat around the bush and test each other."

In fact, what he said would not have any effect, because the price offered by the other party would definitely be lower at first, and then they could slowly negotiate.

But this kind of words have to be said.

Usually, similar words appear over and over again, and then everyone changes the price repeatedly.

Everyone keeps saying to be more direct and not to beat around the bush, but it's unlikely that they will actually do so.

"Four million." Xu Shao said directly.

"It's too low, this price is impossible." Cheng Zhu said.

It is obvious that we cannot reach an agreement today, and to be more precise, there is no rush.

Of course, it is impossible for Cheng Zhu to hang himself on Xu Qiaozui's tree.

The two added each other on WeChat and said they would consider it again. Xu Shao also wanted to see if anyone else would offer Cheng Zhu a higher price.

After leaving the coffee shop, Cheng Zhu drove to the studio of [Insist on Visiting].

After arriving at the place, he first assigned tasks to the employees, and then sat down in front of his computer.

He opened Xu Shao's circle of friends and took a look, trying to learn more about this Zhang Qiqi's pout.

Cheng Zhu could sense that Xu Shao actually had a strong desire to purchase [Youlaiwan].

And his ideas cannot be said to be completely wrong.

"Whether it's opening a branch of your own or finding ways to raise funds, these are actually the right ways."

“It’s just that it’s not that easy to implement in practice.”

In other words, Cheng Zhu himself felt that the so-called Internet celebrity claw machine store was not a very good project.

Why did he sell this store and open an internet-famous milk tea shop?

This is because the popularity period of Internet celebrity milk tea shops is much longer than that of claw machine shops.

After all, milk tea is something we drink on a daily basis, while a claw machine shop is an entertainment venue, so their nature is different.

"The length of this hot period is really important." Cheng Zhu is very clear about this.

A milk tea shop like this, once it's really successfully run, will definitely be popular for two years.

But claw machine stores are different, they are only popular for a few months.

Look, if I really open a branch now, for example, if I open another one in the city of Shanghai, will it be popular?
It will definitely be popular.

But after a few months, it became cold again.

Then, I opened businesses in other big cities, but after a few months, they failed again.

If this cycle appears several times, not only will the brand value decrease, but the difficulty of online marketing will instantly increase, and its internet celebrity attributes will instantly decline.

The so-called Internet celebrity stores are those that attract customers to follow the trend and come to consume.

Let’s just take the simplest example and start from one of the reasons.

For example, if I go to open a branch in Shanghai now, as soon as it opens, the news breaks on the Internet that the store at Hangzhou Polytechnic University is no longer as popular as before and is now deserted.

Would this increase the difficulty of network operations?
This will also result in a shorter life cycle for subsequent branches and a shorter period of popularity.

The vicious cycle is inevitable.

It is true that once a store becomes popular in a big city and becomes an Internet celebrity store, it can actually expand to smaller cities in the future.

The situation in small cities will be better and may not be affected by these factors.

However, here comes the problem.

"Big cities compete on the speed of innovation, the quality of creativity, the level of marketing, etc."

"Small cities compete on efficiency!"

"If you have more business foresight in a small city, accurately capture the trend of the big city, and immediately follow the trend, you can immediately stand at the forefront of the trend and make a fortune in an instant!"

"This type of claw machine store is too easy to copy, and the threshold is too low. Anyone can open one as long as they can copy and have money in their pocket."

"You said you wanted to copy a restaurant, so at least you had to prepare the food. The threshold for copying a hot pot restaurant would be lower, but you still have to compete on taste and service."

"A claw machine shop is just a bunch of fucking claw machines."

However, if an Internet celebrity store is popular for only two or three years, then it will be completely different.

During this time, many things can be done, and the business territory can expand to a terrifying extent!

For Cheng Zhu, he thinks that the Internet celebrity milk tea shop is more promising than the Internet celebrity claw machine shop.

This is also why Princess Youzi has the desire to open two stores. She first chose to open a claw machine store to accumulate funds and practice, and then started to make milk tea.

"But if you say that I am really just trying to trick these buyers, I don't think that's true."

“This store is definitely worth the price, and there is definitely some potential for follow-up, but it’s just not that big.”

"It just depends on personal ability and subsequent management."

"If I were operating this, I would not lose money. At least I could make a few million more."

But here comes the problem.

——“It’s me!”

I am a reborn person, and I am a reborn person with assets exceeding 100 million before my rebirth.

As a handsome guy, I am not an ordinary person.

If Xu Qiaozui really takes over in the end, whether he can continue to grow and become stronger really depends on his own level and, of course, luck.

With this thought, he suddenly thought what's interesting in Xu Shao's circle of friends. I have added him as my friend, so I should go check out Zhang Qiqi's circle of friends to see how he interacts with this little green tea girl. It must be very interesting!
Cheng Zhu immediately became excited and interested.

He opened Zhang Qiqi's circle of friends and saw that, as expected, he had liked every post and actively left comments, but Zhang Qiqi almost never replied and would simply ignore him.

"Wait a minute! Zhang Qiqi posted a circle of friends for [Youlaiwan]." Cheng Zhu immediately thought of this.

Then he started to scroll down.

Sure enough, Xu Shao still liked it.

“Maybe when he clicked the like button, he felt a little bit moved?” Cheng Zhu thought.

The most despicable thing in a relationship is this kind of self-admiration!

Zhang Qiqi controls him, and I control Zhang Qiqi, alas.

"If he really buys this store in the end, I'll just give him a heads up for free then." Cheng Zhu thought.

It is us men who feel sorry for other men.

But whether he listens or not is his own business.

But before that, I must make sure that my own interests are maximized.

So he picked up his phone and took the initiative to chat with Xiaolucha, which was rare. He sent a WeChat message: "Xu Shao came to me to buy a store."
