Chapter 1352 Isn't This a Fraud?
Both Li Shi and Che Rong are very satisfied with the status quo of Star Bird Fitness.
In fact, after Dream Realization Ventures also invested in Starbird Fitness, investors including Li Shi have less control over Starbird Fitness. As the boss of Starbird Fitness, Che Rong actually has a strong of autonomy.
But Che Rong is still used to reporting to Li Shi frequently, and then listening to some advice from Li Shi.
Because Che Rong is very clear, Star Bird Fitness can have the current success, not only because Li Shi made the money, but more importantly, Li Shi showed him a clear path!
If not according to Li Shi's statement, the smart fitness clothes drying rack has completely transformed the business model of Xingniao Fitness, and found its own position in the gap between the two Tenda industries of Moyu Internet Cafe and managed fitness, and built it with Tenda. The fast lane, then even if you get the investment, Starbird Fitness will not be able to develop so well.
After all, it is the difference between giving a man a fish and teaching a man to fish. The investment is only to help Starbird Fitness get through the difficulties temporarily, but to really grow and develop, it still has to rely on the profit model.
The two drank tea in silence for a while.
Che Rong thought for a while and said, "Mr. Li, I still have a question I want to ask."
"Now Star Bird Fitness has experienced a period of rapid development, and stores have quickly opened to other cities in Handong Province."
"Do you think Starbird Fitness will continue to burn money to expand, or will it stop temporarily and make profits first?"
At present, Star Bird Fitness is not profitable, although it has made money, and there are other investors who are constantly investing, wanting to come in and get a share, but in the stage of rapid business expansion, all the money was used to open branches.
At first, Che Rong can be said to be ambitious. First, he renovated all the stores, and then opened more stores in Jingzhou, and even expanded to other cities in Handong Province.
But now, after the scale of the store has expanded to a certain extent, Che Rong naturally has a feeling of burnout.
I want to rest a bit and make money lying down.
After all, from Che Rong's point of view, it is successful enough as a gym to get so much investment and open branches throughout Handong Province.
Many gym owners just opened a few chain stores in one city, and they have already started to make money lying down, not to mention the current situation of Star Bird Fitness?
Che Rong can enjoy peace of mind, and investors can get a quick return.
Laying down and eating the old capital may seem a little reluctant to make progress, but the focus is on stability; let’s continue to expand, although it looks very aggressive, but what if it fails?
If you expand blindly, once the capital chain is broken, it may be completely overturned, and it is impossible to expect the miracle of returning to life twice.
So Che Rong is also very entangled in this, he is hesitant, so he wants Li Shi to help make up his mind.
Li Shi frowned slightly and put down the teacup.
"Why are you hesitating about this kind of issue? Of course it's going to continue to expand!"
"It's not a question of courage, it's simply a question of vision."
"If you ask this, it means that you don't understand the situation at all, and you are short-sighted!"
Che Rong was a little ashamed: "Mr. Li, I really have no experience in starting a business. At most, I have a little experience in running a gym. So please give me some pointers."
Li Shi nodded, and he also knew that Che Rong was really not good at this, otherwise Xingniao Fitness would not have been on the verge of bankruptcy.
It is impossible for an ordinary person to suddenly become enlightened and become a business genius like President Pei. At this time, Li Shi has to give more guidance.
"You want to stop expanding, but in the final analysis, you are afraid of risk, right?"
"What short-term interests or long-term interests are said is false. If the expansion will be successful, and more money will be made in the future, then fools will choose to continue to expand."
Che Rong nodded: "Well, that's the truth."
On the surface, I am tired and I don’t want to fight anymore. In fact, it is because I feel that the cost-effectiveness of continuing to fight is too low, and the risks and efforts I take are too uneconomical compared to the possible returns.
Li Shi continued: "But as long as you look at Tenda's business model and President Pei's behavior, you will know that the benefits of Starbird Fitness' continued expansion far outweigh the risks, and the probability of failure is actually very low! "
While drinking tea, he began to conduct a more detailed analysis of Che Rong based on the actual situation of Tengda's various industries.
First of all, the model of Dream Realization Ventures is to withdraw the investment after the invested company reaches a certain level of profitability, and if it is not profitable, it will continue to invest.
What other companies will think for the time being, but putting it on Starbird Fitness, this is encouraging expansion!
It means that if you keep aggressive and keep expanding, you will continue to invest money; if you think that there are enough stores open and you want to salt fish, then we will say goodbye.
In other words, if you stay aggressive, then we will always be friends; if you want to be content with enjoyment, then you take away the previous gains and enjoy yourself, but I have to move on.
Dream Realization Ventures will take this money and continue to invest in an enterprising company.
Isn't this attitude clear?
Even if we look at the problem from the most utilitarian point of view, if we continue to expand, we can continue to provide financial support from Dream Realization Ventures. Isn't it delicious?
Abandoning expansion is actually tantamount to giving up the financial support of Dream Realization Ventures, as well as the protection of Tenda and the friendship of President Pei!
Secondly, if you want to stop expansion, it is nothing more than fear of risk.
But for Starbird Fitness, this risk is actually very low.
Because the business model of Star Bird Fitness has been verified in Jingzhou and even Handong Province, it shows that consumers are recognized.
Moyu Internet Cafe, Moyu Takeaway, Gym Hosting, etc. Tenda’s series of industries are all first in Jingzhou, then in Handong Province, and finally expanded to the whole country. This route has been traveled countless times, and all of them have been completed.
Star Bird Fitness is also following this old path, steady!
Moreover, in the early stage of site selection, publicity and market development, Tenda's storefronts have been completed. Starbird Fitness is very easy. Go to a new city and open a new store directly around Tenda's industry. It's so simple.
As long as you follow Tengda's ass closely, you are not afraid of stepping on the pit!
In terms of President Pei's layout ability and the high success rate of entrepreneurship, as long as Star Bird Fitness is not too stupid, he can win by lying behind and shouting 666.
That being the case, why not continue to expand?
Things in the shopping mall are also sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat.
If Star Bird Fitness does not expand with Tenda, other companies will naturally see this business opportunity, and then they will find a way to squeeze Star Bird Fitness away.
At that time, President Pei will not take too much care of a company that is not enterprising? Will you talk to a boss who is not aggressive?
It's hard to say.
Li Shi took another sip of tea, and finally concluded: "So, from any point of view, Star Bird Fitness must keep up with Tengda's footsteps and continue to expand until it opens up together with Moyu Internet Cafe, Moyu Takeaway and other industries. Nationwide."
Che Rong suddenly realized, nodded and said, "I see, I understand!"
"Mr. Li, when you say that, I'm just stunned."
"That is to say, not only in terms of objective conditions, Star Bird Fitness should expand, but even President Pei is actually encouraging Star Bird Fitness to continue to expand?"
Li Shi nodded: "Of course! Otherwise, why do you think Mr. Pei named Yuanmeng Venture Capital for this investment? The projects that Mr. Pei is optimistic about must be unique!"
"President Pei is optimistic about your project, but you don't want to be big at all, you just want to make a little money. Do you think Pei will always be happy?"
Che Rong nodded hurriedly: "Understood, I understand! Then I have nothing to worry about. I must work with President Pei to try to spread Xingniao Fitness all over the country!"
Seeing that Che Rong was on the road, Li Shi couldn't help but nodded slightly.
It doesn't matter if you don't understand it at first, as long as it is reasonable and can be closely surrounded by Tengda, then the entrepreneur will still be saved.
Li Shi was drinking tea and suddenly thought of another question.
"By the way, I have a project here, do you want to get involved?"
Che Rong was refreshed: "Oh? What project?"
In the Jingzhou investment circle, if Pei is always a god above, then President Li is the person closest to God.
The project mentioned by Mr. Li must be a good project!
Li Shi said unhurriedly, "The roller coaster project of the Horror Hotel."
Che Rong was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"
"This... I'm afraid I can't participate, right? The Horror Hostel is Tenda's business. Even if others want to intervene, they can't get in at all?"
Li Shi shook his head slightly: "You don't know about this. Although the project of the Fright Hostel cannot be directly involved, you can participate indirectly."
"The restaurants, shops, and hotels around the Frightening Hostel are actually funded by me and other investors, and the benefits are very good now."
"Recently, Mr. Pei spent more than 100 million yuan in the Treasure Hostel and built an indoor roller coaster."
"Chen Kangtuo, the person in charge of the Fright Hostel, just found me at noon and said that this roller coaster will be officially opened for operation at the end of the month, and there is no publicity fund, so I hope we investors can help us more in terms of publicity."
Che Rong was a little puzzled: "Ah? How does this sound like blackmailing money?"
Li Shi couldn't help but twitch at the corners of his mouth: "What are you talking about!"
"The Horror Hostel is a project that Tengda Group invested in a project of more than 100 million yuan. If it really needs publicity funds, can Mr. Pei not give it?"
"Chen Kangtuo said that there is no publicity fund, do you believe it?"
"Obviously, Mr. Pei is not reluctant to give propaganda funds, but is giving us a hint that he wants to give us benefits!"
Cha Rong blinked, confusion written all over his face.
Did you hear that right?
The person in charge of the Horror Hostel came over and asked the people in charge to pay for the promotion of the roller coaster. Isn't this just asking for money? How did it become a benefit?
Mr. Li, are you sure there is no problem with your brain circuit?
