Chapter 710: Have you ever heard of the Internet cafe license?
Lin De was feeling a bit upset.
He offered 1.5 billion, went through so much trouble, used all kinds of connections, and even offended his own daughter, but in the end the price went up by 100 million?
What is a reverse bargaining master?
"Mr. Lu, you can't raise the price like this."
Facing Lin Dezheng's questioning, Lu Yiming said calmly, "Hey, Mr. Lin, what you said is not up to par. We are all doing business, you should know that the market situation is definitely changing all the time. Recently, the price of Internet cafe licenses has increased, and illegal Internet cafes have been cracked down on, so the overall price has risen. This is a market behavior and has nothing to do with me."
Lin Dezheng looked at Lu Yiming's half-smile and clenched his fists for a moment.
He kept reminding himself in his heart: Lin Dezheng, you must be shrewd and patient. A little impatience will ruin great plans.
However, a business worth 1.5 billion suddenly increased in price by 100 million in just a few days. He could not accept this in any way.
At the same time, Lin Dezheng was also muttering in his heart.
Could it be that Lin Yuzhen did not contact Lu Yiming?
This little cotton jacket is still leaking air?
Thinking of this, Lin Dezheng became even more unhappy. He gritted his teeth, his face changed, and he smiled and asked, "I heard from Xintong that you and my daughter are very good friends. When you were in high school, you two often went to her uncle's house for dinner together. To be honest, I also went to Beijing a few days ago and had a meal with her."
Lu Yiming had already known about this from Lin Yuzhen, but at this moment he pretended to be dumbfounded and said, "Yeah, then congratulations, your relationship as father and daughter has made substantial progress."
Seeing Lu Yiming's attitude, Lin Dezheng couldn't help but frowned secretly, and then tentatively asked: "When we were having dinner, she also talked to me about you, saying that she hadn't called you to chat for a long time. I wonder if she called you in the past few days?"
Lu Yiming nodded slightly and said, "Yes."
When Lin Dezheng heard the answer, he immediately felt relieved.
Fortunately, although this little cotton jacket is airtight, it is still wearable.
Then he quickly asked, "Did she tell you anything?"
Lu Yiming said: "First, the call was connected and she called my name."
Lin Dezheng: “…and then?”
Lu Yiming said: "Then I called her name too."
Lin Dezheng couldn't help but grit his teeth: "!!! And then what?"
Lu Yiming said: "Then, she asked me if I was doing well recently. Hey, you said I am the richest man in Asia, how could I not be doing well? I eat meat every meal, for example, this morning..."
Lin Dezheng couldn't stand it anymore, so he interrupted Lu Yiming and asked, "Didn't she tell you about Tongxin Internet Cafe?"
Lu Yiming said naturally: "Yes. She told me that you really want to buy my Tongxin Internet Cafe."
"Oh, yes, yes."
Lin Dezheng smiled and asked, "And then?"
Lu Yiming's tone changed, and he said, "Then he said that you were mean and wicked, and that you were eager to buy my Tongxin Internet Cafe. You must have had some bad intentions, so he asked me not to sell it to you."
Lin Dezheng almost vomited blood three feet high. Where the hell did this black-hearted guy come from?
This is so fucking deceptive!
But when he thought of the amazing profits of the Internet cafe business, Lin Dezheng didn't get angry in the end. He still tried to bargain with Lu Yiming in a friendly manner, saying, "I think that 1.3 billion is a reasonable price for the package sale of Tongxin Internet Cafe. What do you think?"
Lu Yiming said mercilessly: "I don't think so."
Lin Dezheng almost couldn't hold back his fist.
This guy really deserves a beating!
In fact, he had already carefully calculated that Tongxin Internet Cafe would cost no more than 1 billion yuan, not counting the price of the store, just the money spent on the computers, tables, chairs and benches, plus the cost of decoration! Even if the most valuable license plate was added, 1 billion yuan was the maximum. Now he had raised the price to 1.3 billion yuan, but Lu Yiming refused without even thinking about it.
What are you doing?
The initial price was 1.5 billion, and now it has increased to 1.6 billion. It's simply a money grab.
Lin Dezheng had no choice but to tactfully remind Lu Yiming: "Mr. Lu, this is really boring. Instead of spending 1.6 billion to buy Tongxin Internet Cafe, why don't I spend my own money to build an Internet cafe chain brand?"
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Then go ahead."
I am...
Are you trying to cause trouble on purpose?
"Since Mr. Lu has said so, it seems that we still haven't been able to reach an agreement on the price this time. I really feel sorry. Goodbye."
Lin Dezheng bowed to Lu Yiming, and left without saying anything more. He bought a plane ticket and returned to Beijing overnight.
In order to be closer to Lin Yuzhen, Lin Dezheng bought a house in Beijing. Zhu Xintong, who remarried him, quit her job without hesitation and became a full-time housewife, taking care of Lin Dezheng's daily life.
Seeing that Lin Dezheng didn't say a word after returning, Zhu Xintong asked, "Dear, what's wrong? Did you encounter any troubles in your business again?"
Lin Dezheng took a deep breath and said, "It's still about the Tongxin Internet Cafe. I talked to Lu Yiming sincerely, but he just raised the price and showed no sincerity at all."
Zhu Xintong said puzzledly: "If we can't agree on the price, we can open an Internet cafe ourselves. Those people can open an Internet cafe at home by buying a few computers. It's not difficult for you."
Lin Dezheng sighed and said, "It's not difficult to open an Internet cafe. You just need to find a place to buy a few computers and connect to the Internet. However, because of the Internet cafe arson case in Beijing, the country has now completely banned illegal Internet cafes and stopped approving Internet cafe licenses. Even if you can get one or two licenses through connections, it's useless. You can't expand the scale and the profit is not high. It can't be compared with the giant Internet cafe chain like Tongxin Internet Cafe, which has more than 700 stores across the country. What I want is that after taking over Tongxin Internet Cafe, I will directly rent his venue, which is equivalent to not moving anything. I will spend money to buy out all the future profits of the Internet cafe. He will get the buyout money and rent. I will spend hundreds of millions to get a stable cash flow in the future."
Zhu Xintong asked curiously, "Is it really that profitable to open an Internet cafe?"
Lin Dezheng nodded slightly and said, "I have also done some research privately. Now Internet cafes basically charge money with their eyes closed. If each computer is open for six hours a day and charges an average of two yuan per hour, an Internet cafe with 100 computers can earn nearly 40,000 yuan a month."
"After deducting electricity costs, network usage fees, employee wages, parts and components maintenance, and a 20 percent fixed tax, plus the income from selling instant noodles, cigarettes, drinks, and game cards, an Internet cafe can make at least 20,000 yuan in net profit each month. The bigger the Internet cafe, the more computers it has, and the longer they are turned on, the higher the profit."
"The profits of Internet cafes are so high?"
Zhu Xintong was stunned.
There are twenty-four hours in a day. If you open for six hours, the net profit is twenty or thirty thousand. If you open for twelve hours, wouldn’t it be fifty or sixty thousand a month?
This is just one store. There are totally 700 stores in Tongxin Internet Cafe!
Net profit of 40 million per month!
That’s more than 400 million a year!
"How much does it cost to open an Internet cafe? With so many computers, the cost should be quite high, right?"
Lin Dezheng nodded: "Indeed, the cost is not low. An Internet cafe with 100 computers would require a store of about 200 square meters. The computer configuration and rent alone would cost nearly 500,000 yuan, not including staff salaries, decoration, and office supplies."
"More importantly, computers are updated very quickly, and online games are also upgraded very quickly. A newly opened Internet cafe can keep its computer configuration unchanged in the first year, but it will have to be replaced in the second year. If the configuration is not replaced in three years, no one will come to this Internet cafe."
"I don't mind spending money. The key is that Tongxin Internet Cafe is ready-made, and Lu Yiming's business vision is indeed first-class. Many Tongxin Internet Cafes are located in downtown areas, with a good business atmosphere and a large customer flow. Many people come to surf the Internet. Moreover, Tongxin Internet Cafe has many large stores with more than 400 computers. The fees are high, and the profits are more than ten times higher than those of ordinary small Internet cafes."
Zhu Xintong finally understood why Lin Dezheng wanted to buy Tongxin Internet Cafe. All the good locations were occupied by Tongxin Internet Cafe. Even if she was willing to work hard to open a cafe, she would not be able to find a better location than Tongxin Internet Cafe.
Lin Dezheng has always been arrogant, but for Lu Yiming, he admires him from the bottom of his heart.
After all, Lu Yi knew how to make his fortune from scratch. It only took him a few years, while he was still in college, to directly sit on the throne of the richest man in Asia.
And what about yourself?
It took him half his life to outlast the old man of the Yang family, and then he used extremely dishonorable means to seize the assets of the Yang family and successfully became one of the richest people.
Compared with Lu Yiming, his rank was obviously far behind.
Zhu Xintong understood what Lin Dezheng was thinking, so she asked, "What are you going to do now? Continue to negotiate with Tongxin Internet Cafe for the acquisition?"
Lin Dezheng said sternly, "I plan to take another look. Even if I want to buy it, the price of 1.6 billion is too high. I'm not stupid. I can't be a sucker."
Tongxin Internet Cafe.
As soon as Li Quanwang walked in, he quickly grabbed a can of iced fat house happy water, gulped it down, and then let out a long sigh: "Ha, I'm finally resurrected on the spot. Today's horrible weather is like a steamer."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lu Yiming playing "Legend of Mir 2" in the Internet cafe, while Zhao Tiezhu was watching the news silently beside him...
This picture highlights a strong contrast.
Li Quanwang couldn't help but ask, "Why did you come here today? Aren't you going to sell the Internet cafe? Now that the Internet cafe hasn't been sold, are you still in the mood to play games here?"
Lu Yiming said without even turning his head: "Don't worry, let Lin Dezheng hesitate for a while, I have already offered a price of 1.6 billion."
Li Quanwang was stunned when he heard the price. He asked blankly, "Wasn't it originally 1.5 billion? How come it increased by 100 million in just a few days? Lin Dezheng is not a fool. How can he be happy with it?"
Lu Yiming curled his lips and said, "It's okay. If he doesn't agree this time, he will ask me for 1.7 billion next time."
Lu Yiming had a nonchalant expression on his face. He didn't feel any guilt at all for cheating Lin Dezheng. Besides, it wasn't really a cheat. After all, Tongxin Internet Cafe was indeed worth the price now.
"You are really ruthless. Who can bear the price increase of one hundred million at a time?"
Li Quanwang also had a smile on his face. After all, he also had shares in Tongxin Internet Cafe. The higher the price, the more money he would make. Of course he was happy.
Lu Yiming deftly wrapped his tongue around the lollipop in his mouth and swung it around gracefully, then asked, "Wangzai, do you want to make some quick money?"
"Look at what you said. How can I not be happy if I can make money?"
The seat next to Lu Yiming was empty, so Li Quanwang sat down and asked with great interest, "Tell me, how can you make quick money?"
Lu Yiming said: "To buy an Internet cafe license."
Li Quanwang was shocked: "Can this thing be fried?"
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "As long as there is a supply and demand relationship, anything can be speculated. Stocks can be speculated, let alone Internet cafe licenses? In fact, the idea of speculating in Internet cafe licenses is the same as speculating in stocks. Why can stocks be speculated? Because stocks are valuable, and of course there will be countless people flocking to them if there is money to be made."
Li Quanwang urged: "Then tell me quickly, how to fry it?"
Lu Yiming said: "Because of the fire in Beijing, the approval of Internet cafe licenses has become stricter across the country. I guess it will become more and more strict in the future. As a result, Internet cafe licenses will become very valuable. After all, without this thing, you are running an illegal Internet cafe, and you don’t know when it will be closed down."
"That's the truth. So how do we do it specifically?"
Lu Yiming said, "Go door to door to find licensed Internet cafes to buy from. See what they offer. If it's less than 500,000, just buy it directly. If it's more than 500,000, call me to discuss. You can also let other people get involved - of course they must be reliable. Let them help you find it. The more people, the better. After all, when I said this is to make quick money, it means that this thing will not last long."
"good."
Although he was still confused, Li Quanwang faithfully followed all of Lu Yiming's instructions and immediately ran excitedly to make a phone call.
Lu Yiming thought about it and called Ning Xuehua again.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
"Playing cards... Peng!"
Lu Yiming couldn't help but blush and said, "Mom, do you want to earn some pocket money?"
Ning Xuehua was playing cards, so how could she have time to think? She immediately said, "If you have something to say, just say it."
Lu Yiming had no choice but to say simply and bluntly: "Now you need an Internet cafe license to open an Internet cafe. Mom, you should mobilize all the people you can to collect Internet cafe licenses door to door. For those below 500,000, you don't need to ask me for permission, just take them directly."
Ning Xuehua seemed to be frightened: "Five hundred thousand? Just for an Internet cafe license?"
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Yes, one certificate is worth 500,000 yuan. Don't think it's expensive. It will be more expensive in the future. 800,000 yuan or even 1 million yuan is possible."
“Oh my god, this is crazy.”
Ning Xuehua simply couldn't understand how an Internet cafe certificate could be so valuable.
Lu Yiming said, "Nowadays, opening an Internet cafe is like making money with your eyes closed, but you need this license to open an Internet cafe. How valuable do you think this thing is? In the past, you could apply for this certificate, and it didn't cost anything. Many micro Internet cafes with only a few computers had it. Those black Internet cafes that don't have this license simply don't want to pay business taxes, and they can't even afford commercial water and electricity, so they open them directly in residential buildings. Now this license is not issued anymore, it's out of print, so this license will become very valuable. We have to buy them all before others react."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Ning Xuehua stopped playing cards immediately and excitedly asked people to look for an Internet cafe everywhere.
Of course, the more people involved in speculating on Internet cafe licenses, the better, just like the Wenzhou real estate speculation group in the previous life. They often buy a building and directly increase the price by 20%, and then put it on the market. With the hot real estate market, they have no trouble selling it.
The same goes for Internet cafe certificates now. As long as you act fast enough, you can make money very quickly!
A few days later, Lu Yiming came home from playing games and was about to take a shower when Lin Dezheng called him. He sighed and asked, "Boss Lu, are you really unwilling to give up this Tongxin Internet Cafe?"
Lu Yiming said immediately, "Of course I am willing. How can I not be willing? With the relationship between me and your daughter, can I really put a chokehold on you? Besides, even if it is business, there is no reason for me not to sell it. So, the price is 1.7 billion, and we can go to handle the handover procedures tomorrow morning. What do you think? It's reasonable, right?"
I'm reasonable to you%...&＊
Lin Dezheng directly criticized Lu Yiming in his heart.
A few days passed, and instead of lowering the price, Lu Yiming raised it by another 100 million yuan. He was simply not a human being!
"Boss Lu, are you making fun of me?"
Lin Dezheng's face looked very ugly. He even wanted to kill someone. Lu Yiming's frequency of raising the price by 100 million yuan in a few days really made his blood pressure a bit unbearable.
Lu Yiming said confidently: "Boss Lin, it's not that I have to raise the price, but the market situation changes day by day and month by month. Didn't you know in recent days? I heard that some people have started to secretly buy Internet cafe licenses, and now they are sold for 300,000 yuan. 300,000 yuan for a license. You said that I have 758 stores across the country, so many Internet cafes, all with licenses, and here are more than 200 million . It's not too much for me to ask you for an extra 100 million, right?"
Too much!
It's really too much!
Lin Dezheng cursed all of Lu Yiming's ancestors in his heart, but he was skeptical about what he said: "Is that so? I really don't understand this. How about this, I'll go ask what the specific situation is, and then I'll contact you."
Lu Yiming nodded: "Okay, Mr. Lin, it's important to find out the truth first. By the way, you have to hurry up, maybe the price of Internet cafe licenses will increase in a few days."
After saying that, he sighed deliberately: "Alas, Mr. Lin, you see, this is not something I can control. The market situation is like this. By then, the price of this Tongxin Internet Cafe will probably have to go up. You have to hurry up."
What the hell!
When Lin Dezheng hung up the phone, he was so angry that he almost threw the phone in his hand.
Who is this?
