After saying goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Thomas and Director Cai, Xu Yiyang left the guest house on his bicycle with 600 German marks in his pocket.
He thought that with the money in his pocket, he could exchange it for about 3,000 RMB at the bank.
3,000 yuan is equivalent to my mother’s income from working for more than half a year!
Moreover, in Xu Yiyang's view, the greatest significance of this matter is not the 3,000 yuan, but the long-term benefits it brings to him.
Whether to have a full bowl of rice or to pick up a rice bowl, Xu Yiyang chose the latter without hesitation.
He knew very well that if what happened today was on TV or in the news, he would soon be famous in Yingzhou.
This is equivalent to picking up a job.
Today's parents have a strong desire to compare.
Once they see other people's children showing their outstanding side, they will have an idea in their minds: Why are other people's children so outstanding? Why not my child
Once this idea emerges, he will have the urge to invest in his children.
If you see other people’s children studying well, you have to find teachers to provide tutoring for your children;
If you see that other people’s children can draw, you should also sign up for a painting class for your children;
And it’s not just about learning to draw.
The trend of learning to dance, learn musical instruments, and learn calligraphy is basically based on parents' desire to compare, which gradually spreads.
A child in a community learned the accordion. A month later, at least a dozen children in the community were carrying the accordion to attend classes on weekends;
There is a child in a community who learns to draw. A month later, there will be more than a dozen children in the community who will take up drawing boards on weekends;
This is the core dynamic of the training industry.
Xu Yiyang is a senior practitioner in the training industry, so he is now keenly aware that there is an excellent opportunity for training in front of him.
Once he is on TV, all the parents of primary and secondary school students in Yingzhou will be extremely envious of him deep in their hearts;
At the same time, they are extremely eager that their children can one day be like themselves, acting as translators for foreigners on TV and talking and laughing with foreigners freely.
If I jumped out and started a training class at this time, these parents would definitely flock over.
It just so happens that tomorrow is the last day of the exam. After the exam, the more than ten days of winter vacation will begin. I can just take advantage of this enthusiasm to hold a winter vacation English training class!
Xu Yiyang has experience in education and knows that the most important thing in education is to develop a good concept.
The concept that New Oriental came up with in the early days of its business was to provide professional English training for studying abroad;
The concept of Xueersi is to provide professional tutoring and training for primary and secondary school students;
Li Yang's concept that became popular all over the country at that time was his original so-called "Crazy English Learning Method";
Although Xu Yiyang can only make small efforts now, he knows in his heart that he must also have a core concept to attract consumers.
When the news about me translating for foreigners is broadcast, I will definitely become an English genius in the minds of many parents and students. In that case, my biggest shining point is my spoken English.
Today's children learn English in preparation for exams and have never learned spoken English properly. When they really meet foreigners, can they truly communicate easily
Both parents and students themselves should hope that the knowledge they have learned can be put to real use. It is impossible not to be a little bit yearning to see yourself communicating smoothly with foreigners.
Based on this, Xu Yiyang planned to take advantage of the winter vacation to hold an "English speaking enhancement class."
The so-called spoken language enhancement is to specifically improve students’ speaking ability.
However, the winter vacation is relatively short, only a little over ten days in total.
So Xu Yiyang felt that he must hurry up!
As soon as the TV station broadcasts it, I have to take action immediately and start recruiting students.
Because the vacation was short and time was short, Xu Yiyang prepared to conduct an assault class.
The assault class consists of eight classes, one class per day for eight consecutive days.
Most of other people's training classes are once a week or twice a week, but my time is really limited, so when the time comes, I add the word "assault" to the concept and have classes for eight days in a row.
In this case, the concept I want to develop is the "Spoken English Assault Intensive Course"!
…
It's not even eleven o'clock yet.
Xu Yishan's morning exam was not until 11:30, so he still had some free time before picking her up.
So Xu Yiyang went to Hua Xia Bank first and exchanged the Deutsche Mark.
The listed cash purchase price of German marks was RMB 1:0.202. Xu Yiyang exchanged all 600 marks. After including the handling fee, he got a total of 2,950 yuan.
He put all the money in his pocket and hurriedly rode to No. 3 Middle School.
Nearly 3,000 yuan, which is a huge amount of money in this era.
But Xu Yiyang was someone who had seen money after all, so this little money didn't make any waves in his heart.
On the contrary, the idea of holding a training class lingered in his mind, making him excited when he thought about it!
Xu Yiyang waited for a while at the entrance of No. 3 Middle School, and then saw his sister walking out with a plastic stationery bag.
When Xu Yishan saw her brother, she hurriedly ran to him with a smile.
"Brother, how did you do in the exam?"
Xu Yiyang smiled and said, "I didn't take the exam."
"Ah?" Xu Yishan asked in surprise: "You didn't go to the exam? What were you doing?"
Xu Yiyang smiled and said: "I was temporarily detained as a young man to work as an interpreter for foreign guests."
Anyway, the TV station will report it in the evening, and Xu Yiyang has no intention of hiding it.
Xu Yishan looked in disbelief and said: "Brother, with your half-baked English proficiency, you are going to work as a translator for foreign guests? They are not allowed to completely sever diplomatic relations with us!"
Xu Yiyang rolled his eyes at her and said, "Do you think so little of your brother?"
"That's not true." Xu Yishan chuckled: "Mainly, your English is really not that good. Your test scores seem to be held back by English."
Xu Yiyang said seriously: "Do you think I listen to so many English songs and secretly watch so many foreign movies for nothing? Let me tell you, it's better to practice speaking."
"I don't believe it!" Xu Yishan curled her lips and said, "Not only do I not believe it, my parents definitely don't believe it either."
Xu Yiyang reached into his pocket and took out the cash he had just earned, and said to Xu Yishan: "Look, the foreign guest hired me for two days and gave me 600 German marks, which turned out to be almost three thousand yuan."
"Ah!" Xu Yishan stared at the thick pile of brand-new cash with wide eyes, and exclaimed: "So much!"
Xu Yiyang nodded, counted five hundred-yuan bills with the Four Great Men printed on them, handed them to Xu Yishan and said: "These five hundred yuan will be used as pocket money for you. When you get home, I will give my parents a thousand yuan, and the rest will be You have to keep it a secret for me, I’ll keep it for use.”
Xu Yiyang had roughly calculated the cost of opening a cram school before.
First of all, when the news is broadcast, I don’t need to advertise the cram school, so I save on publicity expenses.
At that time, we only need to print some advertising flyers to let others know that Xu Yiyang, who was talking and laughing with foreigners in the news, has now opened a training class, and the word-of-mouth effect will definitely spread.
This shouldn't cost more than a few dozen dollars.
Secondly, rent a larger self-built house as a venue.
Nowadays, many small training classes live in self-built houses in shantytowns. The monthly rent is only 180 yuan, and a few hundred yuan is enough to buy some shabby second-hand desks and chairs.
Based on this calculation, the entire training course actually does not cost much, and can be started within a thousand yuan.
At this time, Xu Yishan was shocked and speechless by her brother's wad of cash.
He held the five hundred yuan in his hand, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then stuffed it back into Xu Yiyang's hand.
"Brother, I don't have anything to use the money for right now. Aren't you of great use? You'd better keep it for yourself and do your business."
Xu Yiyang hurriedly gave her the money again and said seriously: "Brother has enough money left. This five hundred yuan should be regarded as the pocket money I gave you. You can buy, eat or play whatever you want. Don’t I still owe you money?”
Xu Yishan stammered: "But this is too much..."
"Not much." Xu Yiyang pinched her face and said, "Put the money away, let's go home."
Xu Yishan pursed her lips and looked at Xu Yiyang with a silly smile, revealing two shallow dimples: "Thank you, brother! You are really the best brother in the world!"
"You little flatterer." Xu Yiyang snorted, patted the front bumper of the car, and said with a smile: "Get in the car and go home."
"Yeah!" Xu Yishan nodded hurriedly.
As soon as she sat down on the front bumper, Xu Yiyang suddenly heard a harsh sound of brakes.
Looking around, it turned out to be Shen Lele.
Shen Lele was sitting on her sky blue Giant bicycle, looking at herself angrily.
Before Xu Yiyang could speak, Shen Lele asked with a serious face: "Xu Yiyang, why didn't you take the exam this morning?"
A new book is uploaded, and I hope everyone will support it. I would also like to ask for some recommendation votes. This number of votes is really a bit shabby...
