After rebirth, I only date bad girls

Chapter 231 Be a Useful Person to Beautiful Girls

Sure enough, experience is the best teacher, Peng Chenxuan thought to herself.

"But Dad, since you want to get to know Liang Can, why don't I just invite him out for a meal? Why go through all this trouble?" Peng Chenxuan asked, somewhat puzzled.

Old Peng smiled slightly: "Young man, you're still too green."

Peng Chenxuan: “?”

Old Peng took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Do you know why so many rich people like to write autobiographies after they achieve success? It's another kind of sense of accomplishment, used to satisfy their vanity."

“They already have money. At that level, they prefer to be worshipped.”

"Daughter, this is the kind of romance that belongs to us men, you wouldn't understand."

Romance for men?
Old Peng sighed inwardly when he saw that his daughter still seemed to only half understand.

Sure enough, her daughter wasn't suited for business; she had a hard time understanding the complexities of human relationships in society.

Old Peng continued, "If Liang Can really rents our office building, don't think we're losing money just because we got a 50% discount."

"Think about it, if Liang Can's company grows bigger and bigger in the future, wouldn't it be a unique form of publicity for us to have a thriving internet company located in our office building?"

“Those company bosses would think, Liang Can’s business is so big, I have to stay in the same building as him and get some of his good fortune.”

"Businessmen are very particular about feng shui and are superstitious. We can get the rent that Liang Can didn't collect from others, and it will definitely be more!"

Peng Chenxuan understood now, and looked like she had just realized something.

Old Peng had other things to say, but this kind of implicit publicity effect was only the most insignificant.

Please ask Liang Can to write down any entrepreneurial experience, so that he won't overthink it and can accept the discounted rent without feeling guilty, thus smoothly becoming friends.

This is the most important.

Hangzhou Dianzi University, male dormitory

Liang Can copied a few sentences from the book "Success Studies" that Tao Yingjie bought, and then combined them with some of his own ideas to complete Liang's Entrepreneurship Manual.

Save the document and print it out at the studio tomorrow to give to Peng Chenxuan.

"I suspect that Peng Chenxuan's father doesn't really want any manual; he just wants to get to know me."

The seasoned veteran Liang Can secretly guessed: "But that's not necessarily true. Back then, the market was so good that even fools had a high probability of making money. Maybe Peng Chenxuan's father was one of those lucky fools, which is why he was obsessed with the so-called entrepreneurial secrets."

Either way, it's the same for Liang Can.

The ultimate goal is simply to reduce some rent.

Renting an entire floor of office space is expensive these days, and based on Liang Can's projections for the company's future growth, one floor is definitely not enough.

"Sigh, there are more and more people to support, and the operating costs are getting higher and higher."

"How wonderful it would be if we didn't have to pay our employees' salaries."

The thought popped into Liang Can's mind, and he was terrified.

How could I have such a terrifying idea as hanging streetlights? How could I forget my roots just because I have a little money?

It's true what they say: the dragon-slaying hero ends up becoming the dragon himself.

ding dong~
Liang Can's phone rang; it was a message from Peng Chenxuan.

Peng Chenxuan: [Liang Can, have you finished writing your startup guide? If you have, I'll introduce you to my dad tomorrow, and you two can chat.]

Liang Can: [No problem, Teacher Peng. I usually don't meet with the parents of girls. You are the only exception.]

Peng Chenxuan: [.]

next day
Liang Can drove to a commercial center.

Although this isn't in the core area of ​​the main urban area, it's still quite good; it can definitely be called the executive sub-center.

From afar, Liang Can spotted Peng Chenxuan, who was standing next to a middle-aged man of medium build and a rather plump figure.

After getting out of the car, Peng Chenxuan's father stepped forward to greet her with a hearty laugh: "This must be Brother Liang. My name is Peng Yong, and I am Peng Chenxuan's father."

Liang Can quickly shook hands with Peng Yong: "From afar, I could feel an aura of wealth enveloping this commercial center. I was wondering which tycoon was hanging around nearby, but it turns out it was emanating from you, brother."

The two looked at each other and then burst into laughter.

As Peng Yong shook hands with Liang Can, he felt a growing sense of approval.

This kid is quick-witted, incredibly quick-witted.

"Come on, Brother Liang, I'd like to show you around our newly opened commercial plaza."

Peng Yong didn't mention the business secrets at all. He put his arm around Liang Can's back, and the two walked into the commercial plaza.

Strolling through the lobby on the first floor, Peng Yong introduced to Liang Can: "Our commercial plaza has completed most of the bidding process, and the current occupancy rate of merchants is over 70%, covering restaurants, clothing stores, arcades, cinemas, and so on. It is a very conventional commercial center."

As Liang Can walked around, he noticed that although the square was bustling with people, it wasn't particularly lively, as it was the weekend.

Presumably, Peng Yong wasn't trying to show off his abilities.

Instead, the goal is to let Liang Can demonstrate his abilities.

We're all in this game, everyone's got a sharp tongue.

Liang Can was certain that Peng Yong shared this idea.

Sure enough, Peng Yong put one hand on his hip and said with a worried look, "We invested a lot in this plaza, but so far, business is lukewarm. I'm very anxious."

Upon hearing this, Liang Can chuckled and said, "Brother, I'll take care of this."

Peng Chenxuan listened from the side, feeling uneasy.

Does Liang Can's Campus Diary app really have the ability to make a commercial plaza popular?

"Liang Can, why don't you do some research first?" Peng Chenxuan suggested.

Peng Yong glanced at Peng Chenxuan and frowned, saying, "Xuanxuan, don't disturb your Uncle Liang's thinking."

Peng Chenxuan: “?”

How the hell did Uncle Liang become?!
I'm his teacher!

Liang Can laughed: "Brother Peng, you're too kind."

Peng Yong laughed heartily: "We call each other brothers, so it's only natural that Xuanxuan calls you uncle."

Okay, give our niece Xuanxuan a red envelope during the Chinese New Year.

Liang Can put his hands in his pockets. This commercial plaza has six floors. The first floor is mostly filled with electronics stores, while the basement floor has various restaurants and milk tea shops. It is a very complete commercial plaza.

"The fifth floor has some of the larger restaurants, right?" Liang Can asked.

Peng Yong nodded: "Yes, there are a few places that taste pretty good. I'll take you to try them, little brother."

Liang Can: "Just take me to the one you own."

Smart people always understand things instantly.

Peng Yong laughed heartily again: "Xuanxuan's aunt opened a local Shanghainese restaurant here. Their signature dish is authentic West Lake Vinegar Fish. Come on, let me show you how to taste it."

West Lake Fish With Vinegar Sauce
Liang Can stopped and said truthfully, "Let's find another one. This one is beyond saving."

The reason why West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce, like douzhi (fermented mung bean juice), hasn't disappeared is that there are always out-of-towners who insist on trying it.

Finally, Peng Yong took Liang Can to a rather upscale restaurant.

The dishes have a fusion of Chinese and Western styles, including sauerkraut fish, sizzling steak, fish and chips, and fried rice.

Liang Can glanced at the price list on the menu: "It's quite affordable."

"In the restaurant business, the key is to increase volume and make a profit. Restaurants in shopping malls are unlikely to be very expensive."

Peng Yong said to Liang Can, "Moreover, we are only a dozen kilometers away from the university town, so our prices are cheaper and can attract more students to spend money here."

"You haven't done any advertising before?"

“We hired professional ground promotion staff to distribute flyers throughout the university town, but the results were mediocre.”

Distributing flyers is indeed a relatively traditional form of advertising.

Liang Can has an even more sophisticated option. He took out his phone and called Bai Tao Jiang: "Bring a few content creators over, I'll send you their locations."

Bai Tao Jiang has transformed herself into a fashion blogger on Campus Diary.

Because Liang Can silently supported her from behind, her popularity remained consistently high.

Many bloggers in later generations made a fortune by creating restaurant review videos, and many restaurants paid them very high prices to make a single video.

Moreover, it's quite easy for such bloggers to ruin a store.

So a situation arose where many restaurants refused entry to food bloggers without an invitation.

Upon receiving Liang Can's instructions, Bai Tao Jiang set off immediately, arriving at the commercial plaza within an hour with her two younger sisters.

“Let’s make a review of this restaurant,” Liang Can said to Bai Tao Jiang. “The other two of you can walk around the whole square, and make videos, photos, and text. We’ll post it tonight.”

"Roger that!"

Bai Tao Jiang gave Liang Can a playful salute, then found a seat with the help of a waiter and began ordering.

Bai Tao Jiang has a very complete set of equipment. She's taking photos with her DSLR camera while recording videos on her phone. When she eats, she always takes a big bite and has a lot of facial expressions.

The series of operations left Peng Yong dazzled.

Although he didn't know the advantages of this promotional method, Peng Yong had a vague feeling that it might be much more effective than distributing flyers.

Liang Can glanced at Peng Yong, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Brother, my app is going to collaborate with several universities to hold offline events soon, but this location..."

Peng Yong immediately understood: "No problem, this."

"Don't rush this yet."

"?"

Liang Can smiled and said, "After they finish their store visits and the effects start to show, I'll shamelessly come and discuss the details with you, brother."

Can-ge felt that he was truly benefiting beautiful young women.

Girls, deep down, love shopping, eating, and all that.

If you have a boyfriend, shouldn't he be with you?
Even if you don't have a boyfriend, you must have a best friend.

Everyone needs to consume, so Liang Can's role right now is to provide some high-quality venues for everyone.

This is just a basic function of the campus diary. As for the real money-making aspect of live-streaming e-commerce, many brands have not yet experienced the powerful sales force brought by this business activity.

After having a meal, Liang Can had other things to do, so he headed home first.

Peng Yong personally saw Liang Can off to his car and waved goodbye.

Peng Chenxuan, who was standing nearby, suddenly remembered something: "Dad, you haven't asked Liang Can for his business secrets yet."

Peng Yong squinted at Peng Chenxuan, shook his head and said, "The secret to starting a business? He's already shown it to me."

After saying that, Peng Yong glanced back at the mall and said with emotion, "Now, let me experience the effects."

In the restaurant

Bai Taojiang finished collecting the initial materials. Because Liang Can needed them urgently, she opened her laptop, connected to Wi-Fi, and began organizing and editing.

Just as they were busy at work, two other bloggers took a stroll and came to find Bai Tao Jiang to rest for a while.

One of these two was a health mentor recruited by Bai Tao Jiang when she was working as a "positive and uplifting" health mentor, and she has now also cleaned up her act and gone straight.

"Bai Tao, why didn't you go back with Liang Can?" his companion asked.

Bai Taojiang was engrossed in her work, not even looking up, and replied, "President Liang has other things to do, why would I bother him?"

"Hey, just keep the boss in check, and all the riches and honors will come your way."

Her companion chuckled and said, "You've been with President Liang since the very beginning of his business. You've fought side by side for so long, you must have a very deep bond. Haven't you ever thought about becoming the boss's wife?"

Is she the boss lady?
Bai Taojiang scratched her hair; all her skills were taught to her by Liang Can.

If we're talking about admiration for Liang Can, probably no one is more fervent than Bai Tao Jiang.

But the proprietress.
I dare not even think about it.

Bai Tao Jiang typed with both hands and said calmly, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. He has already given me something more suitable."

"So, I'm very content."

Bai Taojiang firmly believes that as long as she follows the path set for her by Liang Can, she will have a good chance of achieving financial freedom at a very young age.

Then you can go wherever you want, go to Iceland to see the Northern Lights, go to the beach in Sanya to sunbathe in a bikini, or go to Dongji Island to watch the sunrise.

It all started a little over a year ago when she stumbled upon a recruitment ad on Weibo.

Back then, Bai Tao Jiang was still very poor. Hoping to earn some rent, she opened Liang Can's private message chat box.

Then, the gears of fate began to turn.

"People are always troubled by things they couldn't have when they were young. I'm lucky, at least I've eaten them."

"So many girls want to eat this but can't get it~" White Peach thought smugly.

That day, Peng Yong was chatting in his office with the owner of a restaurant that was about to open a branch there.

The other party has some complaints about the rent and is trying to persuade Peng Yong to see if it can be reduced appropriately.

“Mr. Peng, your commercial plaza is newly opened. I’ve been looking around here for several days and found that, except for weekends, the foot traffic is generally low, even at night.”

"But I am very optimistic about the future development of our plaza, so could the initial rent be lowered a bit?"

That makes sense.

Peng Yong really didn't want to reduce the rent; this was already his lowest psychological price. However, many partners demanded a rent reduction, citing the plaza's recent opening, average foot traffic, and lackluster promotion and activities.

Just as I was thinking about how to deal with it, the phone on the table suddenly rang.

"Hey, what's up? I'm busy."

"Cousin, I have something to tell you. My restaurant is incredibly busy today. During peak hours, each table turns over an average of three times. I just checked, and there are still customers waiting to eat outside!"

"I asked the waiter to bring more than a dozen chairs for the customers waiting to dine, but that wasn't enough, so I had to borrow chairs from the restaurant next door!"

Peng Yong's eyes darted around, and he put his phone on the table and turned on speakerphone.

The restaurant that Liang Can asked Bai Tao Jiang to review was owned by Peng Yong's cousin.

"Ah Ling, tell me slowly, what happened?"

"Oh my, I bet it's your sworn brother's amazing skills that have made business so good!"

My cousin excitedly said on the phone, "The shop has been open for three months, and for the first time, the sauerkraut fish sold out completely! I even followed the suggestion of that young woman who reviewed the shop and prepared snacks and plum juice for the customers waiting to eat. The young people who came to dine were so happy, and they even posted about it on their WeChat Moments!"

"When I saw this, I was amazed. That girl who was reviewing the restaurant guessed it right again, so I announced that if you get more than 30 likes, you'll get a 10% discount, and if you get more than 60 likes, you'll get a 20% discount!"

"Brother, judging by this trend, I definitely won't be late with next month's rent!"

Peng Yong hung up the phone halfway through his cousin's last sentence.

He then looked at the shop owner across the street who was interested in opening a shop, crossed his legs, and said: "Mr. Zhang, you heard that too, right? I recently changed my marketing strategy and partnered with a very capable young talent to seek a breakthrough."

"The effects are already visible, and I'm pretty sure this is just the beginning."

"Next, several universities will be hosting a huge event here, and the number of people will be enormous."

The boss across from him blinked and said without hesitation, "Mr. Peng, let's sign the contract now."

After seeing off his business partners, Peng Yong excitedly performed a set of military-style boxing in his office.

Then he immediately picked up his phone and called Peng Chenxuan.

"Hey, Dad, what's up?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to tell you that you should be polite when you see your Uncle Liang at school in the future."
