Chapter 131 Ling Bo who develops a sideline business
The so-called "closer" principle means that catering companies should be easy to "close" to customers, that is, convenient transportation, convenient travel, and easy entry.Hot pot restaurants are located in or close to business districts, economic districts, cultural districts, development districts, etc., and the roads are unobstructed, making it easy for customers to "approach" and eat.If your hot pot restaurant is too remote, the customers will starve to death on the way there, and you will also starve to death.
After solving the problems of service targets and people flow, it is necessary to form a "climate" with the external environment.
Cleveland has a tropical climate, with a monthly minimum average temperature of -3°C, a monthly maximum average temperature of 22°C, and an annual precipitation of 890 mm.
Hot pot is especially suitable for eating in winter. It's freezing outside, but cooking hot pot indoors, scalding all kinds of dishes, steaming hot, not to mention enjoying it, even Kobe is full of praise for hot pot.
Ling Bo and Jiang Chaoxue quickly selected two good stores. Naturally, it is better to use the elimination method for this kind of thing, keep the better ones, and eliminate them again until they choose the one they are satisfied with.
The two locations are not far from the main arena of the Cavaliers, but the rent of this store is ridiculously expensive.
This also takes into account decoration costs, equipment costs, advertising costs, event funds and food procurement costs.
Jiang Chaoxue was a little disappointed, and came here full of expectations, but he didn't expect that the rent of the store near the Speedy Loans Center Arena was so expensive, which was enough to cover the sales of the store for nearly half a month.
"Forget it, Ling Bo, let's choose another one." Jiang Chaoxue said helplessly.
"The address here, the flow of people is very good."
"But it's over budget."
The other one is a little farther away, about 10 minutes’ drive from the Quicken Loans Center arena, and this one is only 5 minutes’ drive away, even if you walk, it’s not too far away, but the rent here is one-third more expensive than the ones farther away. one.
Seeing Jiang Chaoxue, Ling Bo felt unwilling. In fact, she also knew that this place was better, but she couldn't make decisions about such things as exceeding the budget, and if the activity funds were included, it would be difficult to solve it if something happened.
Ling Bo kept negotiating with the shop owner, and even took off his mask to show his identity.
I have to say that Limbo's NBA player status is really useful in Cleveland. The shop owner immediately offered a 3% discount, and changed the original half-year rent payment to March payment, which greatly relieved Jiang Chaoxue's pressure.
In the NBA, there are actually many active or retired stars who open their own stores and start their own businesses. They have a large amount of capital and always need to make some investments. They will also have a good source of income when they leave the NBA in the future. Not everyone is as extravagant as Iverson.
The shop owner is a middle-aged man in his 50s with stubble on his face, but he is also a nice person and very talkative. Ling Bo talked with him for a long time before leaving and paid the deposit directly.
After leaving, Ling Bo directly took out a bank card and handed it to Jiang Chaoxue, saying, "Here is 20, you can take it. With this 20, your hot pot restaurant budget should be enough."
Jiang Chaoxue looked at Ling Bo in surprise, and said, "20? A dollar!"
Ling Bo nodded and said, "I don't have any idea about money, and I don't like money either. You see, I can't spend much money."
This means that others really want to go up and punch Ling Bo, but who can beat him.
NBA salaries are also paid on a monthly basis, but it is different from that in some companies.
In the first month after joining the Cavaliers, Ling Bo received one-tenth of the contract amount, and then a fixed amount of 20 per month, so that the remaining contract amount after one year will be credited to the account at one time, so Ling Bo's side There is enough money.
"How can this be done, Ling Bo, you save the money to buy a car and a house, me."
Jiang Chaoxue was interrupted by Ling Bo before he finished speaking, and Xiao Lingzi said: "Just treat it as a loan from me, maybe count me as a shareholder, in short, you take the emergency first, and you can give it to me no matter what.
As for buying a car and a house, the NBA’s salary contract and the media know that I have $300 million in my first season, and I think I will get more and more in the following seasons.
So you take it first and discuss it with Uncle Jiang. By the way, I might as well go there with you, and we can still have a meal. "
Seeing Ling Bo's persistence, Jiang Chaoxue nodded movedly, and said, "Thank you Ling Bo, thank you for your trust."
The two talked while walking, and Ling Bo said, "You know, I don't have many friends here. You are the only Chinese friend in Cleveland. How could I not trust you?"
"Also, although the NBA schedule is tight, after the game, there is nothing else to do except training or training, and there is no one to talk to. I am looking forward to your hotpot restaurant opening here."
"When I think of coming to eat a steaming hot pot after the game, talking to you, and saying goodbye to boring training, don't mention how happy I am."
After Jiang Chaoxue heard this, she also felt beautiful in her heart. The relationship between the two actually lacked one person who took the initiative, and outsiders could see it.
Jiang Chaoxue said, "Really?"
Ling Bo nodded and said: "Of course, if you have nothing to do, you can also come to play golf. Wouldn't it be great if we could go for a walk together during the rest time?"
The life of training is very boring. Although Ling Bo can bear the loneliness as a martial artist, but if he has a better attitude towards training, Ling Bo believes that his progress will also be very fast.
If life becomes more interesting, then no matter what you do, your mentality will be different. If you have expectations in your heart, your life will have a bright future.
The same is true for playing basketball. For example, Kobe Bryant likes to eat hot pot. If he is rewarded with a hot pot meal after winning, then he will have more desire to win during the game.
The same is true for Ling Bo, no one can share the joy of winning, the boring training, and the progress of martial arts. If Jiang Chaoxue comes nearby, Ling Bo will have a good person to confide in.
Went to Jiang Lixin's place with Jiang Chaoxue, Jiang Lixin was very grateful for Ling Bo's helping hand, if the problem can be solved with money, it will be easy to solve, at worst, he will pay it back later, anyway, Ling Bo is not short of money.
Jiang Lixin could see clearly that his daughter and Ling Bo might really get together, and they might still be a family in the future, since it was a family that talked about money or not.
Ling Bo thinks it's better to let himself become a shareholder, even if it's only [-]%.
A hot pot restaurant owned by a new star of the NBA, and the oriental cuisine is believed to attract more customers.And as Ling Bo made more and more friends, this hot pot restaurant might become an NBA star hot pot restaurant in the future, and it would be impossible not to be popular by then.
There are star chasing behaviors everywhere, and if an NBA star eats here, there must be many fans coming here.
What Jiang Lixin and Jiang Chaoxue didn't want to agree to at first was not to prevent Ling Bo from becoming a shareholder, but because they didn't want to take advantage of Ling Bo's fame.But Ling Bo persisted, and the father and daughter also agreed. Of course, they knew that this would be of great help to their hot pot restaurant, but Jiang Chaoxue didn't want to have a commercial atmosphere with Ling Bo.
He still didn't understand Ling Bo, Ling Bo simply wanted to get close to her, and with the identity of a shareholder, Ling Bo could come here more confidently.
