It's midsummer and the weather is extremely hot. it feels as if God has covered Jeju City with an invisible steamer. Even if you do nothing, you can sweat just by standing there.
At that time, Jiang Qin, who was tanned, stood at the gate of the traffic police brigade, put his newly obtained driver's license in his pocket, then took a taxi to the bank and withdrew 270,000 yuan in cash.
This was something he had decided long ago.
He wants to use this money to test the depth of each industry in order to determine his own entrepreneurial direction and avoid taking too many detours.
To be honest, 270,000 yuan can last a long time if you just spend it, but it is not enough to start a business.
So Jiang Qin is not doing this for money, he is basically just playing around, to listen to insiders talk about the inside story, and also to keep himself passionate about entrepreneurship.
On July 21, Jiang Qin found the mother of his classmate Huang Ying and purchased a batch of face-slimming injections and hyaluronic acid from abroad.
The purchase price is 150 per injection, and after it is sold to the beauty salon, the price is marked as 899 per injection.
Although the beauty industry was not so popular in 2008, looking at the boom in medical beauty in later generations, we can see that this is definitely a highly profitable industry. As long as women love beauty, this industry will always be a bright future.
On July 22, he was browsing financial news when he saw that Nongfu Spring was going to upgrade its products and was offering a reward of 300,000 yuan to collect GG words from all over the country. Jiang Qin opened his email, wrote "We don't produce water, we are just nature's porters", and left his mobile phone number.The next day, a strange phone call came.
The other party claimed to be the manager of the publicity department of Nongfu Spring. He first thanked him and then asked for his card number.
When the information about the deposit was sent to his mobile phone, Jiang Qin suddenly felt like he had picked up money and felt that he was so happy to be reborn.
On July 24, Jiang Qin invested in the mutton soup restaurant owned by his classmate Yang Shuan, holding a 30% stake.
According to his memory, Yang Shuan's father's craftsmanship was the best in Jeju, and five years later, branches had been opened in the next city. It was a business that was sure to make a profit.
Jiang Qin was not very interested in investing in a shop, but he wanted to secretly learn the secret recipe, and finally found a pack of Sanhua evaporated milk in the cupboard.
On July 29, the driving school coach said that he was the agent of a drug with a profit of one to ten. He heard that Jiang Qin had money and wanted to get him to do it together.
Jiang Qin was very interested, but was still wary of business that came to his doorstep, so he went to investigate privately. As a result, he found out that the driving school coach's wife was involved in pyramid schemes, so he reported it decisively.
On August 6, when the Olympic Games were about to open, Jiang Qin hired ten people in the labor market to sell national flags and Fuwa dolls on the street.
In the end, all the money he earned was used to pay salaries, and he even put in $1,500 into the fund. But seeing the streets full of red, Jiang Qin felt very happy.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
Jiang Qin felt that he had gained a lot. →
The medical beauty industry does have huge profits, but the advance payment is too much and the costs are relatively high. The catering industry is stable and profitable quickly, but you have to be unscrupulous, otherwise the probability of losing money is very high.
In addition, labor costs must be considered.
At the beginning of your business, you must think about how to get customers to pay for the labor costs instead of bearing the risk of costs yourself.
For example, when selling national flags, the purchase cost is 50 cents and the selling price is 3 yuan, but in the end you still have to pay out the difference when paying employees.
The most important point is not to believe in business opportunities that come to your doorstep, otherwise you may end up in unexpected difficulties.
Jiang Qin felt that he really enjoyed doing business, and he found it interesting even if he lost money.
Why the hell didn't I think about doing business in my previous life?
At the same time, in the class group of Class 2, Grade 3, the graduates who had just received their admission notices were also quite agitated.
Their restlessness is different from Jiang Qin's. Jiang Qin's restlessness is due to his expectations for business, while theirs is purely due to emptiness.
"Everyone, the admission notice has come out. Do you want to go out and play together?"
"I think so. The summer vacation is too long. It's so boring staying at home. I've been wanting to find someone to go out and play with."
"Is there any fun place? We can go there together!"
"I heard that there is a bar opposite the fire station. A group of people get together and watch the Olympics while drinking. Why don't we go and experience it?"
As the content of the chat increased, more and more classmates began to participate in the group chat.
To be honest, the vacation after the college entrance examination is as long as three months. It is really boring to stay at home, so many people want to go out and play.
I didn't dare to go before because of studying and was overwhelmed by the college entrance examination. Now that I have time, what's wrong with letting go for the sake of youth?
Chu Siqi: "I'm a little upset too. If you go out to play, count me in."
Qin Ziang: "Siqi is going too? Then I'll go too."
Yu Shasha: "Me too, I'll go. I haven't been to the bar yet. When are we going?"
"Forget it, we went there a few days ago, but we couldn't get a seat. We have to make a reservation in advance."
"Yeah, that bar is very popular now. It's packed every day. I heard that you can't get a seat even if you pay. How are we, a group of poor students, going to compete with those adults for a seat?"
Guo Zihang: "Are you talking about the Night Light Bar?"
Qin Ziang: "Why, you know that too?"
Guo Zihang: "Actually, you can ask Jiang Qin to make a reservation."
"..."
"???"
Guo Zihang's sudden words stunned the whole group.
What does it mean to make a reservation with Jiang Qin? No one else can reserve a seat, but Jiang Qin can? Does he have a backdoor?
Qin Ziang: "Haha, Jiang Qin? He stopped selling lunch boxes and went to work as a bartender in a bar?"
Yu Shasha: "Is this guy crazy about money? How poor is his family? Why does he do everything?"
Guo Zihang: "He's not a bartender. He paid to rent half of the bar. Watching the Olympics together was an activity he initiated, but it became so popular that the bar owner handed over the operation of the entire bar to him."
Chu Siqi: "How much does it cost to rent half of the bar?"
Guo Zihang: "The venue and drinks seem to cost about 300,000."
"..."
Yu Shasha: "Are you kidding me? How could he have 300,000? I know you are good friends, but there should be a limit to bragging."
Guo Zihang: "What are you bragging about? I watched the opening ceremony at the Night Light Bar yesterday and didn't spend any money."
Huang Ying: "Guo Zihang is really not bragging. Jiang Qin and my mother partnered to purchase a batch of 500,000 beauty needles a few days ago, and he paid 100,000." Yang Shuan
: "My family's mutton soup restaurant has opened a branch. It's okay if you can't go to the bar. You can come to my mutton soup restaurant to drink soup!"
Chu Siqi: "Let's talk business, why are you saying GG?"
Yang Shuan: "Jiang Qin also invested in my mutton soup restaurant No. 2. I don't know how much, but it must be more than 100,000. I have to call him uncle now."
Guo Zihang: "Why do you call him uncle?"
Yang Shuan: "On the day of signing the contract, Jiang Qin and my father were drunk. They were both confused and insisted on becoming sworn brothers. No one could persuade them."
