Chapter 256 The Uncaught Scammer (4)
"My father is an honest businessman. He originally rented a quarter of the space on the fourth floor of Yida Shopping Mall and opened a gym called Shengding, which has been open for several years.
Business has been slow in the past two years and has basically been losing money, so my dad planned to transfer the gym, or close it if he couldn't.
Not long after the news of the transfer was sent out, Li Qingshan appeared.
As soon as he arrived, he acted like a big boss and said he would invest in the gym, expand its scale, and create the largest new education circle in the local area integrating fitness training institutions.
Then, without even signing a contract, I gave my dad 100,000 yuan in cash and asked him to rent the entire floor.
At that time, my father thought that he had met a noble person, and he was very happy when he came back to tell us the news.
He was the one who ran errands for everyone and solved almost all the problems.
At that time, half of the stores on the fourth floor were empty.
It’s easy to find an empty store, just rent it directly.
In addition to our gym, there is also a small Taekwondo hall and a children's dance training institution.
This was exactly what Li Qingshan planned. He asked my father to discuss cooperation with these two companies and merge them together.
But I am not sure about the specific details of the cooperation.
Anyway, the entire floor was renovated later and many more classrooms were added.
The enrollment advertisement was put out before the decoration was completed.
The name still retains the name of the previous gym, Shengding.
However, it has been transformed into a one-stop family club for the wealthy.
The advertisement was particularly attractive, saying that one person pays and the whole family can share.
As long as you pay the membership fee, the whole family can use it.
Children can sign up for interest classes at training institutions, including art, dance, Lego, and taekwondo.
Adults can work out in the gym, take yoga or street dance classes, or sweat in the sauna.
In fact, it is just a change of name but the medicine remains the same, they are just integrated together.
After all, my dad’s gym has been open for so long that it has a basic membership and some reputation.
We then spent a lot of money on advertising, and there was a lucky draw in the first three days of opening, so it was extremely popular.
The aisles were completely filled with people lining up to pay the membership fee, which really boosted the business of the entire mall.”
"Excuse me for interrupting you. Membership fee? Do you know how it is collected specifically?"
"It's charged based on time, the minimum threshold is 3,000 a year, then 5,500 for two years, and so on.
Anyway, the more you pay, the more discounts you get.
But most people are worried that the club will close down, so they pay for one year. "
Yu Sheng analyzed, "Three thousand a year, for the whole family, this offer is indeed very tempting. So, are you making money?"
“Of course it is profitable, because there are some invisible rules in it, which are relatively reasonable, so the members basically have no objections.
For example, children can only choose two courses in their interest classes, and each course has only one or two classes a week. There is no refund or make-up for missed classes.
If you calculate it this way, even if you attend the whole year, you won’t actually have many classes.
Many parents just sign their children up for classes and go to the gym to exercise while accompanying them.
Most of them have no basic knowledge, and many parents cannot persist.
Some people who want to learn seriously will sign up for private lessons or one-on-one classes, but the fee is calculated separately.
There are also some single customers who have a different package. Anyway, my father did the math at the time and realized that as long as we can ensure the flow of customers, we will definitely not lose money.”
"But it's definitely not that simple, right?"
"Yes, Li Qingshan only took out 300,000 yuan in total. My father spent most of it on decoration. In addition, we had to hire new teachers, advertise, buy desks, chairs and teaching materials, so it was actually not enough.
My dad was too embarrassed to ask for money, so he put in some money himself.
As for rent, my dad used a five-year contract to get half a year of rent free, which saved a lot of money in the early stages.
On the partner's side, my dad was the one who discussed the details and signed the contract.
I used to think that Li Qingshan handed over all matters to my dad because he trusted him.
It was not until something happened that we found out that he was trying to put all the blame on my dad for the convenience of the accident.
If Li Qingshan really wanted to do business well, everyone could actually make money, it's just a matter of how much.
But his motives were impure from the beginning. He just wanted to make some money and use my dad to take the blame.
This scumbag played a huge game just to defraud money, and in the end he was able to get away with it completely.”
Seeing that Sun Min was getting more and more excited, Yu Sheng asked, "So what happened next?"
Sun Min adjusted his mood and continued.
“In the first few months, because it was the first time to operate the model, everyone was a little hesitant, but we gradually figured it out.
At that time, the membership fees collected were directly transferred to my father's account. The popularity of the opening and the number of members joining in one after another amounted to several hundred thousand but less than one million, which was already quite considerable, and the cost was recovered in an instant.
If you continue to operate stably, you will definitely make money.
Li Qingshan behaved in a particularly selfless and great manner, and kept saying that he didn't want his salary and dividends for the time being, and would wait until Shengding was fully on track.
Unexpectedly, he was actually plotting a bigger conspiracy and deceived all of us.
Li Qingshan first found Mr. Hu, the head of an art association, to brainwash my dad and asked him to organize a large-scale competition.
They said it could promote Shengding Club, increase its popularity, and also encourage parents to support their children in pursuing art.
My father was afraid of lack of experience and didn’t want to organize such a large-scale competition, but in the end he couldn’t resist Li Qingshan’s insistence and finally agreed.
At the beginning, they just said there was a competition and the champion would receive $100,000.
In addition to the champion, the runner-up will receive 10 yuan, the third place will receive yuan, and the excellent prizes will receive yuan each.
When everyone became curious, they told him that it was a children's art competition organized by Shengding.
Everyone can register for free, but only Shengding members can receive the competition prize.
But all participants can enter the draw.
At the beginning of the competition, there were doubts, and some people thought that we would decide the winner among non-member contestants, so that we would not take out the 100,000 yuan prize money.
However, our entire competition, from auditions to the finals, was very accommodating, fair and just.
I have to say that Teacher Hu is very professional and he made the entire competition very successful.
Not only were the media invited, but also some well-known guests were invited to serve as judges.
With this kind of hype, my father also attracted a lot of sponsorship. At that time, everyone thought that Li Qingshan was a smart and courageous business genius.
Many parents saw this and became members during the competition, thinking they could give it a try and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.
Before and after a game, the club should earn hundreds of thousands of yuan in membership fees alone."
Sun Min took a deep breath and continued.
"But Li Qingshan's appetite is not limited to this."
