I'm waiting for you in the wind and snow

Chapter 296 Reasonable and Unexpected
After finishing the conversation with Xiaobao, I didn’t care too much, so I immediately went from Longkan Wharf to the “Yangyang Café” opened by Cao Xiaobei in the ancient city. The game, but when I arrived, the shutter door of the shop was put down.

This was a bit abnormal, so I asked the waiter at the shop next door, and she told me that before eight o'clock, Cao Xiaobei had already closed the door and left.

I immediately called Cao Xiaobei, but what I got was a voice prompt that the phone had been turned off.

This situation made me more suspicious; over there, Xiao Bao couldn't contact Yang Sisi; here, Cao Xiaobei was also in a state of being out of contact... and before this, Yang Sisi had contacted Cao Xiaobei Yes, then, did the two of them reach any consensus?
I sat down at the door of Cao Xiaobei's store, feeling really helpless, because it was too difficult, too difficult to find someone in the vast crowd under the premise that the mobile phone had lost its function!

I called Cao Xue again and asked him if he could find Cao Xiaobei; he told me simply and rudely that Cao Xiaobei’s whereabouts were erratic, not to mention him, even his father Cao Jinbo often talked to him In a state of being out of contact, he said that Cao Xiaobei has a mental illness. Once he becomes withdrawn, sometimes he can not use the phone for a month.

I really had no choice but to send Cao Xiaobei a message on WeChat, telling him: If he knows Yang Sisi's whereabouts, contact me immediately, the little leopards abroad are going crazy.

……

In the middle of the night, I went back to "Jiulongju". I was still worried about Yang Sisi, so I didn't have the mood to sleep. I hoped that Xiaobao would call me again and tell me that Yang Sisi had been found, so I wouldn't have to think about it. Connect Yang Sisi and Cao Xiaobei's simultaneous loss of contact.

Xiaobao never called again. In the middle of the night, I finally fell asleep because I couldn't bear it...

I had a dream. I dreamed that Yang Sisi and Cao Xiaobei were together. They went to a place with snow-capped mountains and grasslands. Then they got a house there and gradually settled down... In the dream, I couldn’t figure out what they were How should I characterize my behavior? After waking up, I remembered a word called "elopement".

This matter sounds outrageous, but both Cao Xiaobei and Yang Sisi can do it; so, maybe they really planned it this way... Otherwise, how could they lose contact at the same time?
……

Leaving the bed, I washed my face with cold water, then stood under the wall where an old-fashioned calendar hung, tore off the page from yesterday, and found that today is Monday, a day that I especially want people to escape.

This feeling is the strongest when I go to work. Every time I go through the weekend and stand downstairs in the company on Monday morning, I feel like I can go anywhere as long as I don’t go to work.

This gave me a stronger psychological hint...Yang Sisi escaped, she gave up her studies, Xiao Bao, and all the people who cared about her.

……

In a trance, the mobile phone on the table vibrated at a particularly fast frequency. I walked over in a big stride, and then picked up the mobile phone. As I imagined, the call was from Xiaobao.

I asked, "How do you say, is there any news about Sisi?"

Xiaobao said to me with despair: "She has returned to China, and we found the record of her buying a plane ticket... BJ time, she left at nine o'clock in the evening."

"you sure?"

"I'm sure...she bought a plane ticket to Kunming. When she arrives in Kunming, she will definitely come to you."

After a while of silence, I replied: "Xiaobao, I have to tell you something truthfully... Cao Xiaobei, who had contact with Sisi yesterday, can't be contacted now; It should be Cao Xiaobei, not me... All the news about her here is from you, so I don't know any more than you."

"If she wasn't looking for you, what was she doing back home?"

"Don't ask me, I don't know... I'm also worried about her!"

Xiaobao on the other end of the phone fell into silence. After a long time, he spoke to me and said, "If she contacts you, you have to tell me."

"That's for sure. If there is any news from your side, please remember to notify me."

……

After finishing the call with Xiaobao, I started my day's work. Now I have four sets of shops that I signed from Brother Ping. I want to bring out the value of these four sets of shops first.

I found Chen Jin, and the two of them studied together for a long time.In the end, I decided to announce a message in the commercial district of the ancient city. I will put the largest of the four sets of shops up for public auction, and the auction price starts at one yuan for the annual rent.

Before I came up with this plan, I was already prepared to rent out this set of shops for free... and the starting price of one dollar is just a gimmick. I have to let people in this business circle know that someone is operating it now. The shops of "Jiulongju" have the opportunity to re-form a commercial atmosphere in the future; whoever has the vision to bring in the project first can take the cake in this market, and in the early stage, they hardly need to invest in rent costs , which will greatly reduce their investment pressure.

At this time, those bar singers who agreed with me played a role. After we expressed this plan in words and sent it to the singer group, a large part of these bar singers volunteered to help us forwarded.

In just half a day, the number of forwarded messages reached more than 300; this forwarded amount is enough to attract the attention of the entire business circle, and this is the first step of our success.

……

In the afternoon, I went to the "Women's Flower" bar and found Nicole.

I mentioned to her the idea of ​​opening another branch in "Jiulongju"... I did this out of selfishness, because the shop in my hand does not need rent costs now; in addition, a bar is to stock up , the two bars are also stockpiled, so when the drinks can be exchanged, basically there will be no cost of drinks, and the only cost comes from the decoration, which actually doesn't cost too much money, because "Jiulong For this branch of "House", I position myself as small but refined, so a decoration budget of 2 yuan is enough.

More importantly, it is necessary to have such a pioneer to guide other investors. This must be done by ourselves. It is impossible to expect others to trust you from the beginning.

After reaching an agreement with Nicole, I asked her to make the first bid on the auction of the shop under the name of the "Women's Flower" bar.At this time, because of enough attention, someone has already raised the starting price from one yuan to 3000 yuan.

This price is still within the rational range... No matter how cold the "Jiulongju" is, renting a 3000-square-meter shop for 120 yuan is profitable; if nothing else, even if it is not for commercial use, use it for yourself It is more cost-effective than renting a house in the community, not to mention the environment of Jiulongju is so good, and it is also close to the ancient city.

Based on this idea, I asked Nicole to raise the auction price to 5000 yuan at a time.

To my surprise, someone had the same thinking as me. He posted a message below, saying: "Right now, renting a two-bedroom self-occupied house costs [-] to [-] yuan a year, even if you don't run a shop. It’s too cost-effective to live by yourself!”

I immediately asked Chen Jin to put this guiding message at the top of the page.

The effect is obvious. After guiding the function of the shop to the level where it can be lived in, someone bids again immediately, and the price is raised to [-] at one time, and then stopped intermittently.

I firmly believe that the price will continue to soar, because I set the auction time to 7 days, and as the spread spreads wider and wider, more people will definitely join this event.

While doing this, I asked Sun Jiwei to find contacts and got the contact information of the entire commercial street and the owners; I handed over this extremely precious list to Chen Jin...and his job is to play His public relations ability allows the owners to give us these idle shops for free for one year; in the second and third years, we will pay their rent according to market conditions.

It's very difficult, because once you get out of the money relationship, people are always on guard; unless there is friendship, no one is willing to give their shop to others for free, and this is the biggest reason why Jiulongju has not been popular... ...The owners all want to maximize their profits, and groups or individuals who are interested in developing this commercial street will not be able to acquire such a large number of shops if they do not have strong funds.

Then again, if there are such strong funds, who would want to invest in a place where the return on investment is not high?

This is a vicious circle, and it is also the biggest difficulty for our studio to operate this project.

Therefore, I must take the 16 sets of shops from Cao Jinbo, and then provide psychological counseling to other owners. After all, if Cao Jinbo trusts me, why do they not trust me?As for Jiulongju, once it gathers popularity, it will be the owners who will really benefit in the end.

……

After being so busy, it was already 6:[-] in the evening. I didn't have time to eat, so I went to Cao Xiaobei's "Yang Yang Cafe". He is normal, and the shop will definitely be open.

I was very disappointed, because the door of the store was still closed; I asked the waiter next door, and the waiter told me that Cao Xiaobei had not been seen all day, and the store had never been opened.

I am even more disappointed...

I can probably imagine that Cao Xiaobei should have met Yang Sisi at this time, and Yang Sisi had never come to see me.

Everything is reasonable and unexpected.
