Xu Yiyang immediately called the landlord over, and the three parties signed an agreement.
The landlord paid the first quarter rent of 455,000 yuan and the original tenant rent of 95,000 yuan.
In two days, Xu Yiyang can get the key to this shop and start decorating it at the same time.
After viewing the house, Xu Yiyang went to a tooling company in the afternoon, showed him some of SuperX's design elements, and put forward his own decoration needs.
Xu Yiyang hopes to have a large enough door to display the SuperX logo. At the same time, all decoration elements in the store must have SuperX logo elements, including the cashier, glass doors, windows, walls, shelves, fitting mirrors and even seats. .
At the same time, the store should adopt an industrial design approach, using mostly iron grids with black frames.
The black iron grid combined with the SuperX brand logo in white letters on a red background will have a very good visual effect.
In addition, Xu Yiyang put forward relatively high requirements for the fitting rooms. There are six fitting rooms in total. Three mirrors must be seamlessly connected, and the lighting brightness must be sufficient.
The other party gave him a combined offer of 250,000 yuan.
In 1999, the standard for store decoration was over one thousand per square meter, which was already a very high standard. The decoration company had rarely seen customers with such high decoration requirements.
According to them, except for a few luxury brands that ignore the cost of decoration, the store decoration budget of international brands like Nike and Adidas is not as high as Yiyang's budget.
They gave Xu Yiyang some suggestions to reduce costs, but Xu Yiyang rejected them all.
For Xu Yiyang, if he wants to be a clothing brand, quality is more important than anything else.
As long as the quality is in place, every user who comes here to buy clothes will be willing to spend dozens of dollars more.
Just like KTV, for an ordinary KTV with ordinary decoration, if it costs more than 200 to 30 yuan an hour, no one may be willing to come, but for those splendidly decorated KTVs, consumers are willing to spend 100 or 200 yuan an hour.
Therefore, decoration is not spending money, but making money.
After signing a contract with the decoration company and paying 100,000 yuan for the first phase of the project, the decoration company began to prepare for the construction.
According to them, after the former tenant vacates the shop, they will first send workers in to remove the original decoration, and will spend a few days preparing the materials needed for the decoration.
The site will be dismantled and the circuit will be redone according to Xu Yiyang's design requirements. After the circuit is completed, the decoration materials are basically in place, and the decoration process can be started directly.
The entire construction period is estimated to be forty days, which seems to be very fast, but in fact it is the normal speed of clothing store work clothes.
Generally speaking, shop decoration accounts for a huge amount of rent, so if the decoration company is slow, it will literally cost the shop owner his life.
Moreover, the decoration of the clothing store is the simplest. In addition to the normal soft and hard decoration, it only needs to run a circuit, and there is not even a water pipe except the fire pipe. It is not as troublesome as the decoration of a hotel.
The forty days is also in line with Xu Yiyang's expectations. The company and brand registration in Hong Kong should be completed soon. It is estimated that it will only take more than a week for Li Xuan to register the company in Ningcheng.
If the speed is fast, we can probably get the samples from the foundry in ten to twenty days. If there are no problems, we can mass-produce them. Once a certain quantity is reached, they will be sent directly to China Overseas, and the store can be opened after the goods are shipped.
…
After the weekend, Lin Tianyi's younger brother Lin Tianjie rushed to Zhonghai from his hometown.
In order to make it easier for her family to live and for her mother's follow-up treatment, Lin Tianyi rented a house near the hospital, and then asked her younger brother to accompany her parents for pre-operative examinations. She put most of her energy into following up on the store's decoration progress.
In her opinion, Xu Yiyang was kind to her, so she couldn't delay his affairs. Moreover, her mother was mainly doing check-ups this week, and with her younger brother helping her, she didn't need to do it herself all the time. When she had the surgery next week, she would do it herself. Spend more time with her.
Two days later, SuperX’s first directly-operated store began to be renovated.
At the same time, the second branch of New Century Internet Cafe, which is also the flagship store planned by Xu Yiyang, has already taken a rough shape.
After laying the floor tiles on the first floor, spraying pure white latex paint on the walls, lighting, ventilation, air conditioning and fire protection, it can basically be put into use.
As the workers of the decoration company began to decorate the second floor, Xu Yiyang began to direct the layout of the competition venue on the first floor.
The competition on the first floor was divided into two arenas by him, with ten competition computers in each arena, separated by a movable board in the middle. The movable board was all spray-painted with the game's logo and exciting scenes of CS.
Due to its relatively large area, each venue can accommodate at least two hundred people to watch the game. The atmosphere at the game must be very lively.
…
As time enters December, the temperature in the middle sea is getting lower and lower.
On December 1st, the homepage of the New Century website announced the battle schedule and schedule of the 256 teams in the second CS team competition.
The first game starts this Saturday, December 4th, and will be played for two days every weekend until the end of December 26th.
The semi-finals and finals will be held on New Year's Day.
On December 2nd, the Internet cafe accounting ended.
In December, the Internet cafe had a book profit of 280,000 yuan.
According to the agreement, the Internet cafe retains 70% of its income to reserve for future expansion, and the remaining 30% will be shared among everyone.
Xu Yiyang estimated that from the 6.95 million sponsorship fee, the profit should be around 4.3 million, of which 2 million would be invested in building an Internet cafe, 500,000 would be reserved to sign a championship team, and prepare to build his own team, which would probably be enough. That leaves 1.8 million.
Xu Yiyang's forum advertisements sold for more than 400,000 yuan in one go. In addition to paying Song Xiaoman's salary and commission, Xu Yiyang invested the remaining money in adding bandwidth and servers.
During this period, the traffic of the forum skyrocketed, and college students all over the country went to this forum, so that the demand for bandwidth continued to rise.
Seeing that the New Century Forum had gradually broken away from the "local BBS" trend, Xu Yiyang immediately asked Song Xiaoman to suspend advertising and investment in December.
At this time, it would be a real loss to recruit advertisements from local merchants.
It is better to stop advertising for a while and concentrate on maintaining users. After domestic college students gather at the New Century Forum, we can directly cooperate with well-known domestic brands in advertising, so that the unit price per customer can be higher.
Song Xiaoman's income has skyrocketed this month.
The commission from selling advertisements alone is considerable, and the advertising sponsorship fees for CS competitions even brought her a six-digit commission. She almost became rich overnight, which also greatly stimulated her enthusiasm for work.
Song Xiaoman was stunned by the amount. She couldn't believe that she had made so much money in a month.
Even Song Xiaoman himself felt that he seemed to deserve the money.
Xu Yiyang didn't think so. The reason for the large number of advertisements sold was indeed the competing reports from TV stations, but being able to buy such a good price was also a reflection of Song Xiaoman's ability.
Therefore, Xu Yiyang happily paid her all the commissions in full, and then asked her to stop selling local advertisements for a while, and instead set up the company's office space first. Next, the New Century Forum will operate in a regular manner, not only To register a company, you also need to have a fixed office location. It would be best if you can recruit people like Liu Mingchao to work as full-time technicians.
After dividing the money with Song Xiaoman, Xu Yiyang began to prepare to divide the money with his bedmate and Shen Lele.
The expected net profit from the competition, as well as the Internet cafe's revenue for the entire month of November, totaled nearly 2.1 million.
According to everyone's previous agreement, 30% of the profits should be divided into shares, and the rest should be used as funds for operation and development.
Xu Yiyang simply made up a round number, took out 700,000 in cash, divided it into seven parts, and each of the seven shareholders received 100,000.
Before distributing the money, Xu Yiyang did not say hello to everyone. Instead, he secretly made an appointment for cash from the bank, and then invited everyone to get together in a private room of his usual hotel.
After class ended at noon, Xu Yiyang asked Shen Lele and Chen Meng to greet others to the restaurant first, saying that he had something to do and would go there later.
Everyone didn't think much about it. The six of them went to the hotel room first, ordered some tea and waited.
Xu Yiyang bought a trolley case near the school and several zippered handbags. Then he went to the bank and got the reserved cash of 700,000 yuan in the big customer reception room.
All the cash was put into the suitcase, and Xu Yiyang, accompanied by the key account manager, quietly walked directly from the side door of the bank to the parking lot in the yard.
Because he was considered a celebrity and was a big customer of the bank's cash savings, the account manager specially arranged for a driver to drive a bank Volkswagen sedan and drive Xu Yiyang directly to the door of the hotel.
Xu Yiyang came to the hotel with a suitcase full of cash, and the six people looked at it in surprise.
Shen Lele couldn't help but ask: "Where have you been? Why are you still dragging a suitcase?"
Xu Yiyang smiled slightly and said, "I went to the bank."
With that said, he put the box down on the ground and unzipped it.
Seven hundred thousand cash, weighing almost thirty kilograms, is densely packed in the suitcase...
The six people looked at Xu Yiyang dumbfounded, wondering why he suddenly brought so much cash.
Xu Yiyang smiled slightly: "After three months of hard work, it's the harvest season. This month, a total of 700,000 will be given to everyone, including me, 100,000 for each person."
"Really or not..." Chen Meng blurted out: "Brother Xu, one hundred thousand is too much..."
Xu Yiyang smiled and said: "The more you earn, the more you share. This is what we agreed before."
Zhao Xin said: "But we are just following you to do odd jobs and obey your orders..."
Xu Yiyang asked in surprise: "Do you think it's too much?"
Zhao Xin said awkwardly: "I'm just embarrassed..."
Several others were shocked and speechless.
At this time, Xu Yiyang counted out one hundred thousand yuan, slapped it in front of Zhao Xin, and said, "Come on, Brother Xin, you are the biggest here, you take it first."
Zhao Xin still asked in fear: "Do we really have to divide it so much?"
Xu Yiyang threw the money to him and said, "I want you to set an example. Look at your grinding look."
After saying that, he counted out another hundred thousand and handed it to Chen Meng: "Come on, Xiao Meng, this is yours."
