Rebirth Of The Entrepreneurship Era

Chapter 30: It’s better to be big than small

Views:

Five hundred square meters, twenty thousand yuan for half a year.

Xu Yiyang felt that he had really found a treasure.

And the location of the Children's Palace is really not that good.

Especially the requirement that it can only be done related to youth training, it is simply tailor-made for you.

In the current education and training field in Yingzhou, there are probably only a handful of companies that can cover such a large area in one go.

This venue can teach hundreds of students at the same time. Who else but Xu Yiyang has the ability to recruit so many students

However, Xu Yiyang was also puzzled. The landlord said on the phone that someone had negotiated with him for the entire rent. If this was true, what would the other person's background be

At this time, his sister Xu Yishan couldn't help but ask him: "Brother, can we finish renting such a big place?"

Xu Yiyang said: "You can put it away if you don't use it up. It's better than not having to use it later if you want to use it."

Based on Xu Yiyang’s experience in his previous life, the only truth in site selection for the training industry is: it is better to be big than small.

It doesn't matter whether it's bigger or a little wasted on rent. As long as the enrollment is done well, it's all a trivial matter.

But if it is smaller, it will directly affect the carrying capacity of the training institution, and the potential losses may be astronomical.

Therefore, renting the entire floor was the best choice in his eyes.

Xu Yishan added: "Brother, if you go to college in September, won't the rent for the second half of the year be wasted?"

Xu Yiyang smiled and said: "If you do well in the first half of the year, you can earn at least hundreds of thousands, so the rent in the second half of the year doesn't matter. The key is that most of the rents now have a one-year minimum rent. Instead of wasting time and effort to find a rent that starts in half a year, we might as well The most important thing is to take this directly, clarify priorities, and quickly move forward with business matters."

"So that's it..." Xu Yishan nodded thoughtfully.

The brother and sister waited for a few minutes before a fat man, about thirty-six or seventeen years old, came riding a scooter.

He parked his motorcycle at the entrance of the Children's Palace and looked around. Seeing that he seemed to be looking for someone, Xu Yiyang asked tentatively: "Are you the landlord of this fourth floor?"

The fat man saw Xu Yiyang and Xu Yiyang and asked in surprise: "Did you call me just now?"

"That's right." Xu Yiyang nodded.

The fat man frowned at him and asked, "Young man, what do you want to rent this place for?"

Xu Yiyang said matter-of-factly: "I'll run a training class."

The fat man said in disbelief: "I think you are only seventeen or eighteen years old. What kind of training class are you doing?"

"I run an English training class." Seeing that the fat man seemed to look down on him, Xu Yiyang said, "Don't you know me? My name is Xu Yiyang, and I was the one who worked as a translator for foreigners in the news a few years ago."

"Oh shit!" The fat man stared at Xu Yiyang for a while, then suddenly slapped his thigh: "It's really you!"

Xu Yiyang smiled slightly: "It's me."

The fat man said with great surprise: "The training people in Yingzhou have mentioned you every day recently. I heard that you recruited hundreds of students in one breath a year ago. They are almost crazy with jealousy."

Xu Yiyang asked curiously: "Brother, do you know the training industry in Yingzhou very well?"

The fat man smiled and said, "I've been doing training for two or three years, but it's different from yours."

Xu Yiyang asked: "Brother, what kind of training do you do?"

The fat man shrugged his shoulders and said, "Originally, I set up a skills training class for laid-off workers on the fourth floor to train laid-off workers in some professional skills, with some tuition fees and some subsidies from the government's reemployment office."

Xu Yiyang asked in confusion: "Didn't you say that you are not allowed to engage in anything other than youth training?"

The fat man gritted his teeth and sighed: "Damn, I get angry when I say this. When I contracted the contract, the Education Bureau didn't say anything about this. They only said that ordinary commercial operations cannot be done in the Children's Palace. Youth training, It would be no problem to provide re-employment training for laid-off workers, or to set up a university for the elderly.”

Xu Yiyang asked again: "Then what?"

The fat man said angrily: "I was doing a decent job at first and could make some money. But some time ago, some bastard wrote several letters of report to the Provincial Education Commission, reporting Yingzhou Children's Palace for engaging in random contracting. Children's Palace has become irrelevant to teenagers, I'm sorry for the word "Children's Palace."

As he said that, the fat man continued bitterly: "Years ago, the Provincial Education Commission issued a document directly, notifying the Municipal Education Bureau to make rectifications within a period of time. The Education Bureau told me to move my training class out, so I closed the training class."

Xu Yiyang frowned and asked, "Why is it closed?"

"What can I do if I don't close it?" The fat man sighed: "How can I find a big and cheap venue after leaving the Children's Palace? I can only earn about two thousand yuan a month. If I change to another place, I can even earn the rent. not coming back."

Xu Yiyang looked at him sympathetically and asked, "Have you offended someone..."

"Who the hell knows." The fat man sighed and said, "Some people, even if you don't offend them, will feel uncomfortable when they see you making money, and they will be so anxious that they can't even poop!"

"That's true." Xu Yiyang nodded and asked curiously: "By the way, I think most of the third floor is a gym. Why weren't they kicked out?"

"The gym is fine." Fatty said, "Nowadays, we are promoting the all-round development of moral, intellectual, and physical fitness among young people. If the gym can compete with 'physical', I would be miserable. The people training are all the parents of teenagers, and they have nothing to do with teenagers. "

Seeing the fat man's annoyed look, Xu Yiyang couldn't help but smile and said, "Then our experiences are similar."

The fat man asked in confusion: "What, you also sued someone?"

"Hey, let's not talk about this anymore." Xu Yiyang waved his hand: "Let's find a printing company first and get the contract done."

The fat man said hurriedly: "I have brought the contract with me. You can take a look."

With that said, he took out two simple contracts from the small suitcase on the back of the motorcycle and handed them to Xu Yiyang.

"Look, I am the lessor. My name is Chen Dazhong. You can call me Dazhong or Brother Chen. As the lessee, you can write down your information later."

Xu Yiyang checked the terms of the contract with Chen Dazhong and found that the overall contract was relatively reasonable. The contract period was one year, and the rent was paid every six months. There was no deposit, but the rent for the second half of the year would have to be paid after three months, which was also a disguised deposit.

After reading the contract, Xu Yiyang said: "Brother Chen, the contract is fine, but I want to add a breach of contract clause."

Chen Dazhong waved his hand: "Xiao Xu, don't worry, I always value credibility and will never breach a contract."

Xu Yiyang insisted: "Then it must be written clearly."

Chen Dazhong nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, you tell me how to write it."

Xu Yiyang looked at him with a sparkle in his eyes and said: "During the contract period, if you voluntarily break the contract to take over the house, you must pay three times the annual rent. If I break the contract and quit the rent early, I will also pay you three times the rent. "

"Three times the annual rent..." Chen Dazhong was stunned and said, "This is a bit harsh, Xiao Xu, you don't care, as long as the rent is enough, the three times clause will not be triggered."

Xu Yiyang said: "The same goes for you. As long as you let me rent for a sufficient period, you will not trigger this clause."

Chen Dazhong said hurriedly: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, let me think about it first."

After a while, he said: "That's right, I personally will definitely not breach the contract, but the premise is that the Education Bureau does not take over my house in advance, so you have to add this to me, otherwise if the Education Bureau breaches the contract first, I’m miserable, this is force majeure.”

Xu Yiyang nodded immediately: "No problem, it's settled."

The rent is 20,000 yuan for half a year and only 40,000 yuan for a year, which is nothing to Xu Yiyang's earning capacity.

What he wants is that there will be no problems with the venue at any time in the next year.

Otherwise, what if Chen Dazhong regrets and wants to take over the housing one day, and what will he do if he has hundreds or thousands of students

If Director Cai and the principal hadn't kept him in the loop regarding the school matter, his training class might have been stopped urgently, which would have resulted in heavy losses.

So this time he was particularly concerned about this issue.

After finishing the contract with Chen Dazhong, Xu Yiyang took his sister and went to the bank with him.

Xu Yiyang withdrew 20,000 yuan and gave it to Chen Dazhong. The latter put the money into his pocket and said, "Brother Xu, if you need anything in the future, please call me anytime."

Xu Yiyang nodded, remembered something, and asked him: "Brother Chen, you are so familiar with the Yingzhou training market. Let me ask you, does everyone need to apply for a certificate when opening a training class now?"

"Applying for a certificate?" Chen Dazhong smiled and said, "I know there are at least one or two hundred training classes, large and small, but none of them have applied for a certificate."

Saying that, Chen Dazhong added: "Everyone is running training courses. Firstly, there is no need to apply for a certificate, and secondly, there is no need to pay taxes. No one cares."

Xu Yiyang nodded slightly. It seems that the current private training is still in the stage of barbaric growth.

So he asked again: "Also, Brother Chen, I want to buy some teaching desks and chairs. Do you have the resources?"

"Yes." Chen Dazhong said: "I have a friend who specializes in teaching aid wholesale. He provides tables, chairs and teaching aids for most schools in Yingzhou. I'll give you a phone number and you can consult."

Xu Yiyang smiled and said: "Thank you, Brother Chen."

"You're welcome." Chen Dazhong waved his hand.

Chen Dazhong rode away on his motorcycle, and Xu Yiyang quickly called the boss who sold teaching aids.

His idea is to first buy 160 sets of double desks and chairs, and place them in 80 sets in each of the two large classrooms. In this way, both large classrooms can seat 160 people.

Of the remaining three rooms, one is used for reception, registration, and parents' lounge. Don't rush to buy tables and chairs for the remaining two, and decide the use based on the actual situation.

The large classroom can accommodate 160 students at the same time, so the efficiency can be doubled on the existing basis.

After setting up another large classroom, I can invite other teachers to teach other subjects. After all, I have so many students and I must make full use of them.

On the phone, the two parties negotiated the lowest price: an ordinary 120 x 40 double wooden desk costs 80 yuan a piece; a single wooden stool costs 10 yuan, an ordinary podium costs 180 yuan, and a blackboard costs 220 yuan. Delivery within the city is included. Goods installation.

However, the delivery time will have to wait until the eighth or ninth day of the lunar month.

Xu Yiyang officially started school on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, which happened to be a Monday. If classes started on the first weekend after school started, it would be the thirteenth day of the first lunar month.

The time can be right.

So he went over and gave the other party a deposit of two thousand yuan to finalize the batch of teaching aids.

Back at school, Xu Yiyang quickly printed a notice before it was time for class:

"From now on, registration for the second period of elementary, intermediate and advanced classes will begin. The training class will be open for a long time. The fee is eight classes per period and 100 yuan per period. Parents who need to register please contact in advance. At the same time, the first period of elementary, middle and advanced classes will be opened. For intermediate and advanced classes, places are limited, so register as soon as possible.”

He plans to put this notice on the door of the electronic classroom first, so that parents can see it when they send their children over.

The printer printed out the notice. At this moment, a woman in her twenties opened the door, looked at Xu Yiyang, and asked with a smile like a flower: "Is this Mr. Xu?"
