Chapter 123 The Cold Drink Shop That Couldn't Stay Open!
A sports car with a purple-green gradient stopped outside a building called 'Sailing'.
Passersby frequently glanced at the color of the sports car's slingshot.
Qin Huai and the other two got out of the car, and Tang Yuan pointed to the building and said, "This place has a good location, only two kilometers from the business district, and the light rail and buses are very convenient..."
He spoke eloquently, displaying an air of authority and confidence.
Qin Huai opened the map and searched for a while, then nodded.
Surprisingly, this unreliable, vindictive brother actually turned out to be reliable this time.
The location was indeed very well chosen.
Moreover, the name of this building is quite fitting for TT Company's current situation.
set sail.
Starting from here, we will set sail and one day transform into a listed group, so impressive that everyone will be amazed.
"And the price?" Qin Huai asked.
"I've already contacted the building manager, and they said that, out of respect for me, the annual rent will be reduced by five percent," Tang Yuan said smugly.
Qin Huai gave a thumbs up.
Fei Wu didn't say anything about it, looking worried as he thought about the study materials and web browsing history on his home computer.
"Go in and take a look?"
"have a look."
The three entered the elevator, and Tang Yuan pressed the button for the 14th floor.
"Brother Huai, you don't mind this floor, do you?" Tang Yuan asked.
Qin Huai shook his head.
Many people, especially those in business, consider the number 14 to be unlucky.
Qin Huai, however, felt it was nothing.
If you believe it, there will be nothing.
After receiving Tang Yuan's call, the person in charge of the building rushed over. After exchanging pleasantries, he took the three of them on a tour, which took quite a bit of talking.
"What do you think, Brother Huai?"
"Okay." Qin Huai nodded.
The entire floor was previously rented by a business company, but it has been vacant ever since the company went bankrupt.
Many things, such as decorations, layout, tables, and chairs, can be kept, saving trouble.
Qin Huai immediately signed a lease agreement with the building manager and paid a deposit and three years' rent.
The building manager, all smiles, said a few auspicious words and left satisfied.
"You've done a great job this time. I guarantee the company will make a fortune. From now on, you and Fei Wu can just sit back and count the money," Qin Huai said solemnly.
"Hey hey hey..."
Tang Yuan grinned foolishly, already lost in his fantasy of counting money until his hands were sore.
Fei Wu nodded, his eyes somewhat dazed.
Compared to making money, he cares more about the learning materials and web browsing history on his computer.
After regaining his senses, Tang Yuan waved his hand and said with great enthusiasm, "Let's go, to celebrate this crucial step forward for our business empire, let's find a place to have a drink."
"No, no, no."
Fei Wu quickly waved his hand.
Once bitten, twice shy.
If you were to encounter another woman who is completely open and honest with you, who could stand it?
"I definitely have to have a drink, but it won't be alcohol."
The three of them left the building and went into the cold drink shop right next to the building entrance.
The shop was deserted, with no customers.
A "For Sale" sign was posted at the entrance, clearly indicating that the business was no longer viable.
A young man in his early twenties with dyed blond hair was sitting behind the counter, playing a game on his phone. When someone came in, he just glanced up and then ignored him.
The three of them found seats by the window and sat down. Tang Yuan said enthusiastically, "The office location has been finalized. Next, we need to purchase office supplies."
"That's secondary; what we need to consider now is the factory."
Qin Huai asked Tang Yuan, "Do you know anyone here? If not, it's okay, I'll go find someone."
"I'll take a look."
Tang Yuan nodded, flipped through the cold drink menu, frowned, and exclaimed, "Boss! Why are your things so expensive? A cup of bubble tea costs thirty yuan! Are you ripping people off?"
Upon hearing this, the blond-haired youth curled his lip and said, "It's not expensive."
"This isn't expensive? A glass of lemonade costs twenty-five yuan, that's highway robbery!"
No wonder it couldn't stay open; the price was ridiculously high, treating people like idiots.
Tang Yuan looked displeased, then said to Qin Huai, "The hardware isn't the main thing; it's the people."
"Factory workers are easy to find, and tightening screws doesn't require much skill. The real problem is the people in the company, such as management, finance, sales, and marketing. Once you expand, you need to keep up with the human resources."
"What we really need is a manager to oversee the entire company. Once we find that person, he can take care of everything else, as long as we have the finances in our hands."
As Qin Huai spoke, he shouted, "Give me a five-yuan glass of plain water, seven-tenths sugar!"
Fei Wu said, "I also drink plain water, without sugar..."
"It's just that management talent is hard to find."
Tang Yuan sighed and called out, "Waiter, I'd like some plain water too, with two packets of sugar!"
The blond-haired youth's face darkened, making no attempt to hide his displeasure. He threw his phone aside, snorted, got up, poured three glasses of water, and then sat down again to pick up his phone.
"The hot water is ready, help yourself, and the sugar packets are optional."
"What attitude?"
Tang Yuan stood up angrily, wanting to have a good talk with the blond-haired youth, but Qin Huai stopped him: "Why bother arguing with him? Fei Wu, go get the water, let's continue with our business."
"Oh."
Fei Wu got up and brought over three cups of scalding hot water, which made him wince and quickly pinch his earlobes.
I grabbed a handful of candy packets, about a dozen.
The blond-haired youth snorted again, but said nothing.
Qin Huai tore off a packet of sugar and poured it into boiling water, stirring it with a straw: "Let me think of another way. Let's recruit some key personnel first to get the company running. If that doesn't work, we can find other people later."
“It’s not easy to recruit people now; the workplace has been reorganized by young people,” Tang Yuan said.
Although he was a playboy, he was born into the wealthy Tang family and had learned some basic things from a young age.
Only Fei Wu was completely clueless.
Unless he's talking about women, that's his domain.
Qin Huai said, "It's alright, let's set up a stall at the job market and offer salaries five to ten percent higher than the current market rate. I don't believe no one will come."
Tang Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "But in this way, our monthly salary will be a considerable sum, and we estimate that we will have to spend hundreds of thousands more. If the efficiency is not good, we will lose money."
Starting a business can easily lead to financial ruin, but it can also teach a good-for-nothing playboy to think critically.
Tang Yuan would never have said these words before.
Qin Huai waved his hand and said, "It's only a few hundred thousand, don't worry about it. Our goal is to create a business empire. Compared with the future profits, this little bit of money is not worth mentioning."
"Pfft...hahahaha..."
The blond-haired young man behind the counter let out a shrill laugh.
He even stopped playing the game, pointed at Qin Huai and the other two, and laughed so hard he couldn't stand up straight: "Please, stop bragging, okay? You're killing me with laughter..."
They think even a cold drink is expensive, but they grabbed a dozen packets of sugar from me for a five-yuan glass of plain water and were bragging about some kind of business empire and hundreds of thousands of yuan...
Are you three idiots here to be funny?
"You believe I can bury you in money?"
Tang Yuan was furious and reached into his pocket for money.
But halfway through taking it out, he stopped abruptly, a look of embarrassment on his face.
Qin Huai used all of it to start a company, and he really has no money left.
