My Monopoly game came true?!

Chapter 83 Don't Talk to Me About Costs

So that’s something to consider right now.

First, who should we sell the old fitness equipment to?

Second, who should I buy the new fitness equipment from?
Having no clue, Ke Chen could only call Yang Bin again, and his tone revealed deep surprise.

"Brother Ke Chen, my fitness equipment is almost new. Why are you buying new ones?"

"Brother Yang, don't be angry about what I'm going to say next."

Ke Chen said softly.

"I think the fitness equipment at Tigerlily Gym is too low-end. I want to replace it with better quality ones."

"Shuhua and Mairick's are still low-end?"

Yang Bin was not angry, but confused.

“These are the best fitness equipment brands in the country.”

"I want to switch to Technogym or Precor. Brother Yang, do you have any channels to buy them?"

When asked this by Ke Chen, Yang Bin felt that he had underestimated him.

Do you plan to continue investing after buying the gym?
The cost is even higher than what I started with!
Yang Bin persuaded earnestly.

"Brother Ke Chen, are you really going to invest so much money? Not to mention that the fitness industry is in a slump right now, our Jiangbei City gyms have used high-end foreign brands, which are only used by top gyms."

“All I want to do is be at the top.”

Ke Chen's calm and firm tone made Yang Bin silent for a long time. After waiting for a while, he recommended a VX business card named Aria.

"Her name is Aria, she's Italian, and she's also Technogym's general agent in China. She's currently investigating the market in Jiangbei. See if you can arrange a meeting with her and say that I recommended her."

"But the chances are not very high..."

"Thank you."

Ke Chen said gratefully and then asked again.

"Brother Yang, do you know anyone who can sell old fitness equipment?"

"That's easy. Just sell them to me as my old competitors."

Yang Bin said immediately.

"Anyway, if they see you sell it, they will definitely be happy to buy it back, and at most they will lower the price."

"it is good."

Lower prices?

What I am least afraid of is lowering the price. After all, I got these fitness equipment for free, so I don’t mind selling them for any price.

But then again, Yang Bin actually knows Technogym’s general agent in China?
Ke Chen didn't expect that the muscular fitness man he had in his impression had such a wide network of contacts in the fitness industry. He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he "didn't make the wrong friends."

It seems that he has an identity background!
I said that this big guy who looks stubborn must be just in disguise!

After hanging up the phone, Ke Chen added Aria’s VX, and then asked Yang Bin for the VX of Tigerley Gym’s competitors.

Although they are competitors, they are a group.

Ke Chen knew what this group was doing without having to think about it. It was definitely to suppress new gyms!
After all, the cake is only so big. Although people sitting at the table may have conflicts because of fighting for the cake, once someone continues to want to sit at the table, they will definitely unite to exclude others.

It’s just that the fitness industry isn’t doing well right now, and no one wants to come to the table, so we can only kick them off.

Therefore, when Ke Chen joined the group as the new owner of Tigerley Gym and posted information about selling old fitness equipment, many people expressed their intention to buy.

"Wang Chang: Boss Ke, I am willing to buy your fitness equipment at 50% of the market price, is that okay?"

Fitness equipment that is 50% to % new sold at % of the price?
It's quite acceptable.

After a little thought, Ke Chen contacted Wang Chang, and he readily agreed to come immediately.

At this time, Aria, who was added, also accepted the friend request.

"Aria: Hello my friend, are you the friend recommended by Yang Bin? I am a salesperson from Technogym, nice to meet you (smiley face)."

Sale?
And also send a sarcastic smiling face?
Seeing the awkward language and text sent by the other party, Ke Chen realized that the other party seemed to be Italian and did not seem to be very good at chatting on VX, so he also greeted him politely.

"Ke Chen: Hello, I would like to purchase a batch of your fitness equipment, is that ok?"

"Aria: Ke Chen friend, where are you going to use it?"

"Ke Chen: Gym"

"Aria: I'm sorry my friend, Technogym mainly deals with homes and hotels, not gyms."

"Ke Chen: What if I say I will buy a lot?"

"Aria: How much do you want to buy?"

"Ke Chen: A few million."

After Ke Chen sent this message, the other party was silent for a long time before replying.

"Aria: My friend, thank you for your trust and support for Technogym. I am staying at the Bulgari Hotel now. Can we meet?" Look!

It’s called a general agent, but it’s actually just a type of salesperson!

As long as I buy a lot, I'm not afraid of the other party refusing.

Ke Chen replied.

"Ke Chen: Is this afternoon available? I'll contact you when I get there."

"Aria: No problem, I'll wait for you, thank you!"

"Ke Chen: You're welcome."

After chatting with Aria, Wang Chang also sent a message saying that he had arrived.

Seeing this, Ke Chen called Ren Jieman, who was chatting with the employees, to go out together.

"Hello, Mr. Ke."

"Hello, this is my girlfriend Ren Jueman, the manager of Tigerley Gym."

"Hello, Miss Ren."

"Hello."

After greeting politely, Wang Chang looked at the deserted Tigerlily Gym store and tried to persuade them.

"Boss Ke, since you are so young, I have to advise you that even if you sell the gym equipment, you won't be able to make back your investment. It's better to rent out the entire gym."

"Don't worry about that."

Ke Chen smiled.

“I’m not selling to get my money back.”

"What's that for?"

"Change it to a new one."

new?

Wang Chang came to the treadmill, touched it, and immediately his face was full of confusion.

"Isn't this bad?"

"If it's not broken, can't we just replace it with a new one?"

Ke Chen explained.

"I have contacted people and plan to replace all of these with Technogym equipment."

? ?
Upon hearing this, Wang Chang was a little confused.

So you are not here to stop loss, but to invest in a gym?
And we have to replace it with high-end fitness equipment like Technogym?

How much would it cost to fill all four floors!
Forget about making back the money, it would be a success if we could lose less than one million.

Wang Chang thought he had one less competitor, so he happily came to purchase fitness equipment.

Unexpectedly, there were not only many competitors, but also some second-generation rich people with rich family backgrounds!
Wang Chang snorted in disdain.

Vote!

I wonder if it's your family background that's more important than your gym's!

When the losses become severe, you will close your business.

"So how much can you take? If you can't take it, I'll contact someone else."

“No need to contact anyone else.”

Wang Chang said with a hint of pride.

"Our business there is pretty good, so I plan to open another branch, and these equipment will be of great use to me."

"Row."

After discussing some details with Wang Chang again, Ke Chen watched him leave.

"Honey, are you really going to switch to Technogym fitness equipment?"

Ren Jieman was still a little worried.

"Isn't this cost too high? I'm afraid I won't be able to make back my investment in a short time..."
