Xu Yiyang did not expect that he would be able to recruit more than 600 students today.
This kind of enrollment efficiency is absolutely incredible in a training class.
However, this efficiency is reasonable. After all, I was on TV news, and I fully demonstrated my English ability in the news.
Not only that, but Thomas Lauter and his wife, and Director Cai of the Education Bureau endorsed him, which made the foundation strong enough and attractive enough.
With so many favorable conditions, recruiting hundreds of students is really nothing.
He couldn't help but think of Yu Minhong, a master of English training in his previous life.
New Oriental also started by providing training courses, and it focused on the market segment of overseas training. It could have tens of thousands of students in less than two years.
In 2006, New Oriental was listed in the United States, with a market value of tens of billions of dollars, making it the largest education group in the country at that time.
Not to mention compared with New Oriental, which was listed on the market, even compared with New Oriental in its early stage, the more than 600 students of my own were nothing.
Because New Oriental specializes in overseas English training, and the unit price per customer is very high. It costs thousands of yuan to sign up for any class. The price per customer for my own is only 100 yuan. Compared with others, it is really far behind.
Thinking that the road is long and long, and this is just the beginning, the excitement in Xu Yiyang's heart was instantly diluted.
Putting aside the excitement just now, he thought that he still had more than 5,000 yuan in cash and it was too late to deposit it in the bank, so he planned to fulfill the promise he made to his sister first.
Buy her a Giant bike.
As the first mid-to-high-end bicycle brand to enter the mainland market, Giant has always been the best bicycle brand in the eyes of most ordinary people in the 1990s and early 21st century.
Among the bicycle brands of this era, Giant alone is at the top of the pyramid, followed by old brands such as Phoenix, Forever, Feige and so on.
Xu Yiyang recalled that when he was in school, the minimum monthly salary standard set by the Yingzhou City Government was 240 yuan. The actual per capita monthly salary was less than 400 yuan, but these days, any Giant bicycle costs no less than 400 yuan.
For better ones, it can even reach hundreds or even thousands.
Today's middle school students do not have mobile phones, MP3 or MP4, and even genuine Sony Walkman players are rare. Therefore, a Giant bicycle is a real luxury for them.
Although Xu Yishan never said that she wanted a bicycle of her own, Xu Yiyang could still see the expectations and desires deep in her heart.
Therefore, Xu Yiyang did not take his sister home directly by bicycle, but followed his memory and rode to the post and telecommunications building in Yingzhou.
In my memory, most of the shops selling bicycles in Yingzhou were concentrated near the Post and Telecommunications Building.
Xu Yishan saw that he was not going home and asked him where he was going, but he didn't tell him. He would have known it until he told her.
It was already nightfall.
As soon as Xu Yiyang and his sister arrived at the Post and Telecommunications Building, they saw the eye-catching light box sign of the Giant store diagonally across the road.
So, he rode his bicycle and stopped in front of Giant's door, and said to his sister: "Let's go in and have a look."
Xu Yishan hurriedly asked: "Brother, are you going to buy me a bicycle?"
"That's right." Xu Yiyang said, "Since I promised you, I must honor it. Let's go in and have a look."
Xu Yishan hurriedly waved her hand and said: "Brother, forget it. You will go to college in half a year. Then I will just ride your car. Isn't your car pretty good? There is no need to buy a new car. Weird wasteful."
Xu Yiyang touched the hair on the top of her head and said: "Brother, this old bike is hard to ride. It rings except for the bell. The gearbox is broken and the chain often falls off, so I still want to buy you a good one." .”
Xu Yishan added: "But I quite like you riding with me. If you buy a new car, won't you lose the chance?"
Xu Yiyang asked: "Don't you always say that the front bumper hurts your butt?"
Xu Yishan said coquettishly: "That's just for fun. In fact, I don't have to work hard to ride in your car. It saves worry and is more comfortable."
Xu Yiyang shook his head and smiled, and said: "I have a lot of things to do next semester. I have to review, prepare for exams, and maybe continue to hold training classes. I may not be able to pick you up on time."
"Ah, will you hold training classes when school starts?"
"I have this idea." Xu Yiyang didn't hide it, and said seriously: "After all, you can make money by running training courses. I would be reluctant to stop it."
After saying that, Xu Yiyang pulled her into the store and said, "Stop wasting your time and pick one quickly. We'll ride back today, otherwise you'll have to squeeze into the bus by yourself next semester."
Xu Yishan had no choice but to nod, but said helplessly but with a bit of excitement: "Okay then, thank you brother..."
The models in the Giant store are diverse, mainly divided into ordinary urban recreational vehicles, mountain bikes and road vehicles.
The front bumper of an urban recreational vehicle has two bars bent down diagonally, making it easier for girls to get in and out of the car from the front, so this type of car is also the first choice for most girls. This type of car has no transmission, is relatively simple in structure, and is cheap. Also the cheapest.
As for off-road bikes with straight handlebars and road bikes with curved handlebars, they are actually not suitable for girls’ daily riding.
After Xu Yishan went in, she simply ignored the mountain bikes and road bikes. She kept looking around in several recreational vehicles, looked around, and finally pointed at a light yellow recreational vehicle and said, "Brother, I think this looks pretty good." good."
Xu Yiyang looked at it: "It's very ordinary."
Looking at the price, 458 is the cheapest among several cars.
The middle-aged male boss who was following him said: "This car is the cheapest in our store and the only one under 500 yuan. It is very cost-effective. Many students in Yingzhou buy this car. If you buy it now, , a front basket is just suitable for putting a school bag and so on, it is very convenient for going to school."
Xu Yiyang suddenly felt a little distressed. This girl knew that she had earned 64,000 yuan, but she chose the cheapest bicycle in the store. Was she reluctant to spend money, or was she too alienated from her brother
Xu Yishan on the side noticed keenly that her brother didn’t seem satisfied with this car, so she hurriedly promoted it and said: “Brother, look at this car, it’s quite good. It’s smaller and shorter, and it’s more convenient to ride. Quite good looking."
"Not very good." Xu Yiyang shook his head and started looking around.
Soon, his attention was attracted by a bicycle hanging on the wall.
This car is in French retro style, with a very unique and beautiful shape.
The curve of the handlebar is very special and high-end, and the frame is a very positive yellow color, which is very eye-catching and looks good.
Paired with a white front basket, white front and rear tiles, and a white chain cover, the color tone is also very fresh.
The seat cushion of the car is made of brown leather. The color is very natural and the workmanship is very fine. The overall look is very delicate.
Moreover, this car also comes with a simple rear gearbox.
Although it is not as complicated as the shifting of mountain bikes and road bikes, Xu Yiyang counted the rear chainring and found that there are seven gears in total, which is definitely enough to cope with daily uphill climbs.
So Xu Yiyang pointed to the car and asked Xu Yishan: "What do you think of this?"
As soon as Xu Yishan saw it, fascination shone in her eyes.
Then she subconsciously turned her eyes to the label. When she saw the price, she was immediately shocked.
1598!
Xu Yishan waved her hands hurriedly and said: "Oh, this doesn't look good. Look at it, it looks weird, like the kind of car that only appears in foreign movies."
Xu Yiyang was also here. How could he not see the change in Xu Yishan's eyes when he saw the car.
Knowing that Xu Yishan must like this car, he ignored Xu Yishan's deliberate denial, turned around and said to the boss, "I want this car."
Before the boss came to his senses, Xu Yishan said anxiously: "I don't want this, I don't want this, it's too expensive and it doesn't look good!"
"It's more than a thousand yuan, not expensive." Xu Yiyang waved his hand nonchalantly and said to the boss again: "I want this."
Xu Yishan stamped her feet anxiously: "Oh brother, I really don't want this car. This car has such a strange shape. If you ride it, you will be laughed at!"
Xu Yiyang saw through her lie at a glance and said: "In the eyes of boys, mountain bikes looked very strange in appearance, but everyone thought they were very handsome and wanted one in their dreams. If anyone can ride a mountain bike, others I can only be envious, who can laugh at me?"
After that, he said to the boss: "Help me adjust the train, and give me a good lock."
When the boss saw that the young man in front of him was not joking, he immediately beamed with joy: "Okay, I'll give you another kettle and kettle holder in matching colors!"
"Brother..." Xu Yishan said awkwardly, "This is really too expensive..."
Xu Yiyang smiled slightly and said, "As I say, I want this car."
Xu Yishan's big eyes looked at her brother eagerly, she reached out and pulled the corner of his clothes, shook him slightly, and whispered: "Brother, why are you so nice to me?"
Xu Yiyang reached out and pinched her face, and said with a smile: "Isn't my sister just here to be pampered?"
