Chapter 38

The day after returning from Pengcheng, Li Mu started to register the domain name.

The first domain name he tried to register was Facebook.

Unfortunately, this domain name has been registered since 1997.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Mark Zuckerberg really didn't have the money to buy Facebook's domain name at the beginning, but only got this domain name after financing.

Li Mu didn't care, and wanted to find some good Chinese Shuangpin domain names to register. For less than 100 yuan a year, it would be good to register a few to keep them entertained.

Although many Shuangpin have been registered, many future household names have not yet been registered, such as Taobao.

Taobao is a domain name registered in 2003. Before Jack Ma, no one thought of the word Taobao on the Internet.

The word "Taobao" should have been a very great idea in Jack Ma's mind at the beginning. Of course, Taobao's model itself is great, but it is undeniable that the word Taobao is also great, because it is too intuitive and too vivid. , not only obvious and catchy, but also releasing a subconscious, I have a lot of treasures here, come and find them.

Therefore, the significance of Taobao to Jack Ma should be almost the same as that of Facebook to Mark Zuckerberg.

hehe, sorry about that...

Afterwards, the word "WeChat" was not immune to disaster. As soon as he thought that Baidu was going to play Tieba in two years, Li Mu signed up for Tieba and Douban again. He also wanted to register "Know", but unfortunately he was registered by others. .

Thinking of his own music portal plan, Li Mu thought about it and registered an Eting, which can be understood as E listening, easy to listen to, and easy to remember and input.

Registered a bunch of domain names, it didn't cost a lot in total, but it was extremely useful for the future.

...

After getting the domain name, Li Mu went for a walk on the street.

He was thinking about the idea of ​​opening a specialty store for his parents. Now that the money is in hand, it is time to put this plan into practice.

Li Mu went out and went straight to the most prosperous commercial street in Haizhou. He wanted to see the rental situation of the shops first, first to see if there were any suitable shops, and then to consult the rental price.

In my impression, Haizhou Commercial Street has only gradually prospered since 2002. Now it has not really become the center of retail business. At present, people buy things in a very simple way. For the better ones, go to the department store, where there are all kinds of stalls selling everything, and for the higher-end ones, you have to go to the provincial capital.

So now on this commercial street, there are only a few specialty stores, as well as some slightly upscale restaurants, most of which are buying.

Li Mu laughed out loud when he saw a bottom dealer with more than 100 square meters selling off-season wool pants with tears in his eyes.

The words "The last three days!" were written on the huge white paper outside the door, which was very eye-catching.

In Li Mu's impression, such vendors usually rent stalls by the day or by the week, and change a place with a shot. Now that they have rented such a large store so close to the city center, there is only one possibility, the store rent is cheap.

No wonder, in 2001, Haizhou's economic development was still too backward, people's consumption concept has not been cultivated, and even many people who do business in this city have not yet figured out their minds.

Li Ning store is very popular now. His shoes are too expensive. In this era, they sold two or three hundred pairs, and clothes are not cheap. Unlike Baleno, his business is good. more friendly.

A pair of jeans is like 99 or 119. You can buy short sleeves in your early 20s. In winter, you can buy a padded jacket for more than 100 and 200 yuan.

However, whether it is Li Ning or Baleno or Double Star or Jeanswest, Li Mu has found one common feature: the storefront is too small.

Among the several stores, the Double Star store is the smallest, with a width of five or six meters and a length of less than ten meters.

Baleno, Li Ning, and Jeanswest are slightly larger. Most of their shops are double-doors, nearly ten meters in length, but short in depth, less than ten meters, and not even 90 square meters in full;

Li Mu looked around and saw that the black and strong shop owner who was selling cashmere pants with tears on the last day was holding a cigarette and his face was full of bitterness and hatred, so he went to the side and bought a pack of Chinese cigarettes, opened them, and walked around to the front.

"Hey, eldest brother, are you from Mongolia?" Li Mu was almost in a suit.

"Yeah." Seeing that Li Mu was a young man, the man knew that he would definitely not buy his own backlog of old cashmere pants, so he responded casually.

Li Mu immediately took out his cigarette, the striking red color made the middle-aged male shop owner stunned, and he was amazed: "It's really extravagant to smoke Da China at such a young age!"

When he was greedy, Li Mu just took out two and threw one to the other party, sighing: "I have longed for Mongolia since I was a child, it's a good place!"

The middle-aged man took the Zhonghua cigarette thrown by Li Mu with both hands in the air. He was excited and immediately looked at Li Mu with admiration. Anyway, he was idle, so he took out a lighter and lit Li Mu first.

Li Mu was also very disciplined. Seeing the other party come to light a cigarette for him, he protected the flame of the lighter with both hands to show respect.

The middle-aged man's impression of Li Mu suddenly improved a lot.

It's rare for a local kid who smokes Chinese to be so polite to a trader who is displaced all over the country throughout the year.

So, he lit his cigarette and took a sip: "Our Mongolian province has a picturesque scenery, my brother must go and have a look when you have a chance."

Li Mu nodded and asked curiously, "Brother, are you a Mongolian?"

The man laughed and said, "That's right, Mongolian, my name is Bayan, and I'm from the Blue Banner."

Li Mu nodded: "Your business must be very hard!"

Bayan sighed: "Who said no! I've been working for five years, and I almost traveled all over China."

Li Mu asked with a smile, "How many days have you stayed in our Haizhou? How is the business?"

"Isn't it good!" Bayan shook his head in dissatisfaction: "You people here are too stingy, too fond of bargaining, those big brothers, big sisters, uncles and aunts are holding cashmere pants for fifty yuan a pair, and they have to give I'm asking for five bucks..."

In the face of Bayan's complaints, Li Mu smiled. Haizhou people's spending power is not high, not to mention that the clothes they wear inside are not worth the price. Besides, the winter in Haizhou is not very cold. Cashmere pants are not a must-have for everyone.

Immediately, Li Mu asked the question that he cared about: "This is our city center. It's expensive to rent such a store, right?"

"It's alright." Bayan brushed off the ash: "Eighty yuan a day, I originally wanted to sell it here for a few days, but I didn't expect to sell the goods."

This time, it was Li Mu's turn to be surprised. It was eighty dollars a day. Looking at it, the three shops were connected. It was estimated that it would be one hundred and fifty or sixty square meters, but it was very messy inside. Now there is nothing inside, except for a pile of hanging cashmere pants, there are two sets of floor coverings, which should be Bayan and his wife sleeping by themselves.

"The rent here is not cheap. Eighty yuan a day is really cheap."

Bayan shook his head: "I thought it was cheap at first, and the sublet owner also told me that he used to do the cloth business here, but the landlord wanted to increase the price this year, so he would not rent it, just as he said There was a cloth market that opened, and there was a lot of traffic there, so he moved there, and there was still more than a week left for the real landlord to close the house, so he rented it to me for only 80 yuan a day."

Saying that, Bayan said mysteriously: "It is said that before this place was only 5,000 yuan a month, and the real landlord will increase to 7,000 yuan this year!"

This is what Li Mu wanted.

More than seven thousand yuan a month? I don't know if it's true or not, but if it's true, that would be great.

But think about it, after all, the business is still in its infancy, the market prospects are uncertain, and investment confidence is not enough. Once the retail industry, especially the clothing business, starts to explode, the rent here will definitely skyrocket.

Bayan felt that Li Mu seemed to be very interested in this shop, thinking that he took the initiative to hand over the cigarette sleeves, so he asked, "Little brother, do you want to rent this shop?"

"Yeah." Li Mu didn't hide it and nodded.

As soon as Bayan stretched out his hand, he peeled off the words "Big Sale" posted on the wall next to him, revealing a printed A4 paper: Shop for rent, 139*****

Li Mu's eyes lit up, he immediately took out his phone and wrote it down, threw the rest of the cigarettes to Bayan, and said with a smile, "Brother Bayan, thank you."

Bayan didn't dare to take it, and when he wanted to go back, Li Mu had already gone far.

He has no craving for smoking in this life. Tobacco is not an essential thing for him, and it is harmful to his health, so if it is unnecessary, he can stop smoking.
