Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Both Li Shi and Che Rong are very satisfied with the current status of Starbird Fitness.

In fact, after Yuanmeng Ventures also invested in Starbird Fitness, investors including Li Shi have lost control of Starbird Fitness. As the boss of Starbird Fitness, Che Rong is actually very strong. Of autonomy.

But Che Rong is still used to reporting to Li Shi frequently, and then listening to some suggestions from Li Shi.

Because Che Rong knows very well that Starbird Fitness can have the current success, not only because Li Shi paid the money, but more importantly, Li Shi pointed out a clear path for him!

If it weren’t for Li Shi’s statement, the use of smart fitness clothes racks has completely transformed the business model of Starbird Fitness, and found its position in the gap between the two Tenda industries, Moyu Internet Cafe and managed fitness, and built it with Tenda In the fast lane, even if it gets the investment, Starbird Fitness will not be able to develop so well.

After all, it is the difference between teaching people how to fish and teaching people how to fish. Investing money is just to help Starbird fitness temporarily overcome the difficulties, but the real development and growth depends on the profit model.

The two drank tea in silence for a while.

After some consideration, Che Rong said, "Mr. Li, I still have a question to ask."

"Now Starbird Fitness has gone through a period of rapid development, and stores have quickly opened to other cities in Handong Province."

"Do you think Starbird Fitness will continue to burn money for expansion in the future, or should it stop temporarily and make a profit first?"

At present, Starbird Fitness is not profitable. Although it has made money, and there are other investors who are continuing to invest and want to come in and get a share of the pie, all the money is used to open branches during the rapid expansion of the business.

At first, Che Rong could be said to be ambitious. First, he renovated all the stores, then opened more stores in Jingzhou, and even expanded to other cities in Handong Province.

But now, after the size of the store has expanded to a certain extent, Che Rong naturally has a mental fatigue.

I want to rest a little bit, lying down and making money.

After all, from the perspective of Che Rong, being able to get so much investment and open branches to the entire Handong province is enough success as a gym.

Many gym owners have just opened a few chain stores in one city, and they have already begun to lie down and make money. What's more, what is the current situation of Starbird Fitness?

Che Rong can enjoy peace of mind and peace of mind, and investors can quickly get a return.

Lie down and eat your old books, although it seems a bit unenterative, but the focus is on stability; continue to expand, although it seems very enterprising, but what if you fail?

If you expand blindly, once the capital chain breaks, it may be completely overturned, and it is impossible to expect the miracle of resurrection to occur twice.

Therefore, Che Rong was also very entangled with this, he himself was very hesitant, so he wanted Li Shi to help make his decision.

Li Shi frowned slightly and put the tea cup down.

"Why would you hesitate on this kind of issue? Of course you want to continue to expand!"

"This is not a question of courage, it is simply a question of vision."

"If you ask this, it means that you don't understand the situation at all, and your eyesight is short-sighted!"

Che Rong was a little ashamed: "Mr. Li, I really don't have much experience in entrepreneurship. At most, I have a little bit of running a gym. So I still ask you to give me some advice."

Li Shi nodded. He also knew that Che Rong was really not good at this, otherwise Starbird Fitness would not be on the verge of bankruptcy before.

It's impossible for an ordinary person to suddenly become a business genius like President Pei, so Li Shi has to give more guidance.

"You want to stop expansion, but in the final analysis, you are still afraid of risk, right?"

"Speaking of short-term benefits or long-term benefits, they are all imaginary. If the expansion will be successful, and more money will be made in the future, then fools will choose to continue to expand."

Che Rong nodded: "Well, that's the truth."

On the surface, I feel tired and I don't want to fight anymore. In fact, I feel that the cost-effectiveness of continuing to fight is too low, and the risks and efforts I have taken are too uneconomical compared with the possible rewards.

Li Shi continued: "But as long as you look at Tenda's business model and Mr. Pei's behavior, you will know that the benefits of Starbird Fitness's continued expansion are far greater than the risks, and the probability of failure is actually very low! "

While drinking tea, he began to conduct a more detailed analysis for Che Rong based on the actual situation of Tenda's various industries.

First of all, the model of Dream Venture Capital is to withdraw its capital after the invested company has reached a certain level of profitability, and if it is not profitable, it will continue to invest.

Let’s leave aside what other companies want, but when it comes to Starbird Fitness, this is encouraging expansion!

It means that if you keep enterprising and keep expanding, you will continue to invest money for you; if you think there are enough stores open and you want to salt your fish, then let's bye bye.

In other words, if you keep enterprising, then we will always be friends; if you want to be content with pleasure, you can take away the previous gains, and you can enjoy yourself, but I have to keep going.

Yuanmeng Venture Capital will take this money and continue to invest in an aggressive company.

Is this attitude unclear yet?

Even if you look at the problem from the most utilitarian point of view, if you continue to expand, you can continue to use non-prostitution funds from the side of Dream Venture Capital. Isn't it popular?

Giving up expansion is actually giving up the financial support of Yuanmeng Venture Capital, and also giving up Tenda's asylum and the friendship with President Pei!

Secondly, if you want to stop the expansion, it is nothing more than fear of risk.

But for Starbird Fitness, this risk is actually very low.

Because the business model of Starbird Fitness has been verified in Jingzhou and even Handong Province, it shows that consumers are recognized.

Moyu Internet cafes, Moyu takeaway, hosting gyms, etc. Tenda's series of industries all started in Jingzhou, then Handong Province, and finally expanded to the whole country. This route has been traveled countless times, and it has been completed.

Starbird Fitness also follows this old path, steadily!

Moreover, the pre-site selection, publicity and market development work has been completed for Tenda’s storefronts. Starbird Fitness is very easy. Just go to a new city and open a new store directly around Tenda’s industry. It’s so easy.

As long as you closely follow Tenda's ass, you are not afraid of stepping on the pit at all!

In terms of Mr. Pei's layout ability and the super high success rate of entrepreneurship, as long as Star Bird Fitness is not stupid, he can win by lying behind and shouting 666.

That being the case, why not continue to expand?

Things in the shopping malls are also sailing against the current.

If Starbird Fitness does not follow Tenda's expansion, other companies will naturally see this business opportunity, and then they will find ways to squeeze Starbird Fitness away.

By then, will Pei always take care of a company that is not enterprising? Would you talk about favors with a boss who is not enterprising?

This is hard to say.

Li Shi took another sip of tea, and finally concluded: “So, from any angle, Starbird Fitness must follow in the footsteps of Tengda and continue to expand until it expands with Moyu Internet cafes, Moyu food delivery and other industries. The whole country."

Cha Rong suddenly realized, nodded and said: "So that's it, I understand!"

"Mr. Li, when you talk like this, I'm just stunned."

"In other words, not only from objective conditions, Starbird Fitness should expand, even President Pei is actually encouraging Starbird Fitness to continue to expand?"

Li Shi nodded: "Of course! Otherwise, why do you think President Pei named Yuanmeng Ventures to invest here? The projects that President Pei is optimistic about must be unique!"

"Always Pei is optimistic about your project, but you don't want to be bigger at all, but you want to make a little money. Do you think Pei is always happy?"

Che Rong hurriedly nodded: "Understood, understood! Then I have nothing to worry about. I must work with Mr. Pei to try to spread Starbird Fitness all over the country!"

Seeing Che Rong doing this, Li Shi couldn't help but nod his head slightly.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand it at the beginning, as long as you are able to talk about the channel and closely surround Tenda, then the entrepreneur will still be saved.

Li Shi was drinking tea and suddenly thought of another question.

"By the way, I have a project here, do you want to participate in it?"

Che Rong's spirits lifted up: "Oh? What project?"

In the investment circle of Jingzhou, if Pei is always a **** above all else, then President Li is the person closest to the god.

The project Mr. Li mentioned is definitely a good project!

Li Shi said unhurriedly: "The roller coaster project of the Shocking Hostel."

Che Rong was taken aback for a moment: "Huh?"

"This...I'm afraid I can't participate in it? Shocking Hostel is Tenda's property. Even if other people want to intervene, they can't get in at all?"

Li Shi shook his head slightly: "You don't know anything about it. Although you can't directly intervene in the project of Shocking Hostel, you can participate indirectly."

"The restaurants, shops, and hotels around the Shocking Hostel are actually funded by me and other investors, and the benefits are now very good."

"Recently, President Pei has spent more than 100 million yuan at the Shocking Hostel and built an indoor roller coaster."

“Chen Kangtuo, the person in charge of Shock Hostel, just approached me at noon. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com said that this roller coaster will be officially opened at the end of the month, and there is no publicity funding. So I hope that in terms of publicity, investors like us can help. a bit."

Che Rong was a little puzzled when he heard it: "Ah? How does this sound like squandering money?"

Li Shi couldn't help but twitched his mouth slightly: "What are you talking about!"

"Thanksgiving Hostel, but Tengda Group invested more than a billion yuan in the project, really want to promote the funds, can Pei always not give it?"

"Chen Kangtuo said that there is no publicity fund, do you believe it?"

"Obviously, President Pei is not reluctant to give propaganda funds, but is hinting to us that he wants to make profit to us!"

Che Rong blinked, his face full of confusion.

Did you hear me wrong?

The person in charge of the Shocking Hostel ran over and asked the person in charge to pay for the promotion of the roller coaster. Isn't this just asking for money? How come it has become profitable?

Mr. Li, are you sure that there is no problem with your brain circuit?
