Back to the prime of life

Chapter 133 Everything is ready
Lu Changge could only use his remaining free time to build the framework for operating the swimming pool.

Zuo Shuya also rented a house in Jiangzhou. Because she had to run back and forth between the two places, she was actually no less idle than Lu Changge. Even in Jiangzhou, she had to take care of both the swimming pool and Wu Yiming's wife.

When she received Lu Changge's call today, she was playing mahjong with Mrs. Wu and some of her friends.

She tilted her head and listened for a while with the phone between her legs, then said, "Changge, how about this? Let's find a time to meet up and carefully sort out all the ideas we can think of. We should decide which card to play first and which to play later in chronological order. There should always be a method."

I know that every idea you come up with is a good one, but I have obsessive-compulsive disorder and can't just come up with one idea at a time. My head will be in a mess if all of them come up. After sorting it out, I'll do the rest. I'll refine the steps and perfect the details, and then show them to you, okay?"

Lu Changge on the other end was very satisfied and said, "Of course. Don't tell me, Sister Shuya, you have the potential to be a general manager."

"If there is, it's because you forced me to do it. Let's do this for now. I'll accompany Mrs. Wu. You can make an appointment with the principal and then tell me."

After hanging up, Zuo Shuya reached out to touch the cards, and it turned out to be a self-drawn card. "Ah, good luck, good luck."

You have to pay for the remaining three.

Mrs. Wu asked, "Is it Lu Changge calling? It sounds like he's talking about the principal. What's going on? Is the swimming pool closing down and turning into a school?"

"Haha, of course not. The swimming pool still needs to be open." Zuo Shuya said casually as she grabbed the cards, "He was discussing a collaboration with Jiangzhou Foreign Languages University. He said he wanted to treat the principal to a meal."

The woman with permed hair across from her asked, "What kind of cooperation can a swimming pool like yours have with a private school like Jiangwai?"

Zuo Shuya said, "I thought so too, but my boss is smart. He somehow found the principal. Jiangzhou Foreign Language School is organizing all kinds of activities to welcome the Olympics, and we just happen to have a venue."

The man was tempted. "Oh, Boss Lu is so capable that he can directly contact the principal. Then we can find Boss Lu in the future. We won't have to worry about our children's education anymore."

Zuo Shuya smiled along.

Mrs. Wu's eyes rolled and another idea came to her mind. She asked, "So, by then, many students from Jiangwai will be going there."

Zuo Shuya said: "Probably. We will have special swimming training courses."

"That's great, that's great. Let's all sign up when the time comes!"

Of course it's good for her,

Only children from wealthy families can enroll in this kind of course.

Only rich people can easily buy cars.

Even if those people already have a car, buying a second one is just a piece of cake, unlike those with limited financial conditions who have to struggle for a long time to buy a car.

To sell car insurance, you have to sell it in this circle.

Zuo Shuya actually thought of this. She originally regarded her "customer base" as an attraction.

Ordinary people don’t have much exposure to the business secrets of this specific circle of people.

But there's a classic example that illustrates this point: many people know that small CEOs go to business schools not just for the classes, but more importantly to meet people.

Being someone's classmate is something that cannot be measured by money. As for the hundreds of thousands of tuition fees, they are not money to them. They can be thrown away like paper.

Including the other two people at this mahjong table, one is in the solid wood furniture business, and the other runs a clothing factory at home. Which one of them doesn't need to expand their network?

On the other side,
Lu Changge didn't want to organize everyone to discuss it together, but he was waiting for Ji Shi to come to Jiangzhou. Wang Hongcheng said that Ji Shi fell in love with him at first sight, but he pretended not to know. Anyway, he asked Wang Hongcheng to convey his thoughts.

Shortly afterwards, Wang Hongcheng told him to call Ji Shi himself.

There was no mention of secret or open love on the phone, and Ji Shi didn't mention it either. No one talked about anything beyond the scope of the swimming pool.

Lu Changge just said that kind of management was too expensive, so he invited her to do it together, and she agreed, and that was it.

Very crisp and cool.

The first time this woman did it, she felt like, I like this, okay, let’s do it.

Later, he asked Ji Shi to settle the affairs of the national team and gave her a name: Liu Zige.

There is no need to explain any reasons, because this big shot is already the champion of the women's 200-meter butterfly at the National Swimming Championships. Who else can we look for if not the best?
In reality, there are no such strong men who suddenly appear out of nowhere. If she could win the Olympic championship in 08, it means that she had already made her mark in some previous competitions.

Regarding this aspect, Lu Changge's plan is to take two steps. The first step is of course to shoot commercial endorsements. There is nothing much to say about this.

Another reason is that after the Olympic Games are over and the athletes enter the rest period, there will be less pressure. He hopes to invite her to the swimming pool to give a science popularization session for children.

It's completely positive, with no gimmicks or brand promotion. It's just a place where athletes and children can meet face to face, tell swimming stories, teach swimming techniques, and share the joy and benefits of swimming. This in itself is also a popularization and promotion of swimming.

If these two items require money, Lu Changge is willing to do it.

Ji Shi didn't fully understand him when she was communicating with him on the phone. She certainly knew that the athlete was very strong, but from a business perspective, no matter how strong the athlete was, an athlete without appeal would be of no use to a commercially operated swimming pool.

But Lu Changge insisted, so let it be.

In addition, with the joining of Ji Shi, the procurement of related equipment was accelerated, and by mid-April, the main decoration was basically completed.

Li Shanfeng began to pull Lu Changge to check inside and out. To put it nicely, he was inviting the boss to come for on-site inspection, but in fact he was reminding Lu Changge that it was almost time to pay the balance.

At the entrance, a sign for the HaiLan Bay Swimming Pool was also hung. Most of the designs of this type were commissioned by Lu Changge, including the entire layout when pushing the door open, which was very simple.

Facing you is a tall, translucent marble counter. The counter is shaped like an oval, and the marble top is also divided into different heights. After opening, a receptionist will stand in the middle. There is no need for complicated things, and it is extremely simple with a full sense of luxury.

It seems that all conditions are gradually maturing and people are gradually arriving.

Lu Changge had also met the retired soldier that Yin Anyan introduced to him. The young man was called Feng Yang, four years older than him, with a tall figure and a handsome face. Because he was familiar with his background, Lu Changge did not make any special requirements. It was better than hiring a stranger from outside.

In addition, they also need lifeguards and swimming coaches. As for the coaches, in addition to the one recommended by Li Fuchun, Lu Changge wants to recruit two more, preferably one male and one female.

But this was actually more difficult than he had imagined.

But there was no other way. Yin Anyan was unable to continue to discover talents like a treasure box, so he could only do so through recruitment channels.

Two days later, Ji Shi called him and said that he had arrived in Jiangzhou.

It was a Saturday. Lu Changge freed Chi Yongsheng and gathered everyone to go to the swimming pool.
