Chapter 7 - The most deceptive gym! The middle-aged driver of an online taxi!

After thinking it over, Su Yang felt that he still had to open a store!

A store like a gym with low transfer fees and a large number of employees is most suitable for him.

It's not that he doesn't want to start a high-tech company.

However, the threshold for entry into such companies is very high and is not suitable for Su Yang's current situation.

He also needs to accumulate a lot of funds and connections!

After dinner. Su Yang transferred one million to the bank account of Xinghuo Fitness.

The financial rewards given by the system are not subject to bank supervision and transfers are very convenient!

Su Yang strolled along the bustling streets of Rongcheng.

I have to say, the people of Bashu really love to eat! Except for convenience stores and supermarkets.

Su Yang saw many noodle shops, restaurants, hot pot skewers restaurants, and snack bars.

Next are clothing stores, foot massage shops, and pharmacies.

He remembered that Zhang Liang went for a foot massage and gave Su Yang a VIP card before leaving!

If run properly, foot massage will definitely make more money than a gym.

However, it is not easy to get foot massage without some connections.

Unless foot massage can be included in medical insurance.

After walking for half an hour, I felt tired.

Su Yang simply sat on a stone pier by the roadside and took out his mobile phone to search for store transfer information.

By chance, he found out that someone wanted to transfer a 300-square-meter gym, and the transfer fee was only 100,000 yuan.

He now perked up.

Su Yang called an online taxi and only noticed it was a BMW when the car arrived.

Su Yang didn't know which specific series it was, but he recognized the car logo.

About twenty minutes later, he finally arrived at the door of the Yuedong Fitness Center.

"Master, can you wait for me?" Su Yang said to the driver as he paid. "I may need to take a taxi later."

"How long do we have to wait?"

"No more than five minutes!"

"That!"

The middle-aged driver said readily.

When he arrived at the entrance of Yuedong Fitness, Su Yang saw the sign of "Shop for Transfer" again!

Su Yang didn't go in either, but sat down on a bench on the street.

[Kong Yuanjie, the owner of Yuedong Fitness, will transfer the gym to you for 100,000 yuan, but you must take over the previous card users!]

[You agreed to his request, bought the gym for 100,000 yuan, and signed a one-year lease agreement with the landlord, paying one third of the deposit, a total of 80,000 yuan!]

[The gym is 300 square meters, with three personal trainers and three other staff members, and the monthly salary expenditure is about 50,000 yuan.]

[You renamed the gym to "Spark Fitness", and gained a special bonus buff of +30% dopamine secretion and +15% weight loss effect.]

[The gym lost 40,000 yuan in the first month...]

[The gym lost 50,000 yuan in the second month...]

[The gym lost 40,000 yuan in the third month... You need to pay 20,000 yuan in rent for next month...]

[The gym lost 50,000 yuan in the fourth month...]

Su Yang was really convinced, and he just kept losing money.

Even if his salary is returned, he will still lose his principal!

Even after half a year, the losses were not so severe and the business gradually picked up.

But the profit is just enough to pay rent to the landlord, and there is not much left.

It is equivalent to him investing money and energy to work for the landlord! Su Yang, who has a special bonus buff in the gym, will lose money if he takes over this gym. If anyone else takes over this store, he will definitely cry because of the loss! At this time, Su Yang suddenly felt that Zhang Liang was a real person.

He really is "subletting a popular shop"!

At least Xinghuo Fitness has a very good geographical location. It is located in a bustling business district, close to a subway station, and there are high-quality residential areas. nearby.

The store manager, fitness trainer, and marketing are all doing a good job.

And Zhang Liang never thought of running away.

Before he wanted to transfer the gym, he did not sell membership cards on a large scale at a low price.

This makes Su Yang's subsequent operations a lot easier!

But this Yuedong Fitness... is a scam!

At this time, Su Yang saw several young people who looked a little immature entering Yuedong Fitness.

He checked the situation within a five-kilometer radius on the map on his mobile phone.

There are primary and secondary schools, two colleges and old residential areas,

The customers of the gym are generally middle-class white-collar workers and wealthy people.

Students and young people have a severe lack of purchasing power, and they also have their own ways of exercising!

Su Yang didn't understand why the owner of Yuedong Fitness opened a gym here! Without much hesitation, he got up and walked to the side of the road, opened the door of the online car-hailing car and got in.

"Where to go?"

"No. 28, Binhai Road, Qinglong District!"

When he was on his way here, he was checking his phone and saw that a relatively large hot pot restaurant was for sale.

"Ok!"

The driver started the car steadily.

Su Yang sat in the back row, enjoying the breeze and looking at the shops along the street.

Perhaps because he felt the atmosphere was too depressing, the driver casually asked:

"Little brother, are you going to open a store?"

"how do you know?"

"I noticed you were eyeing that gym for a while!" "Yes, I was originally thinking of taking over a gym."

The driver couldn't help but sigh: "You are really brave!"

"How to say?"

"Don't gyms often run away? I guess this business isn't profitable!"

"That's not entirely true!" Su Yang explained, "There are still gyms that make money, but there is a problem with the way gyms are run in China."

The driver asked curiously, "What's the problem?"

"Besides, opening a gym is an asset-intensive industry. A slightly larger gym will have to invest several million in the early stages for renovation and the purchase of fitness equipment!"

"Many gyms chose to sell memberships desperately in the early stage and accumulated a lot of funds. The owners felt that the money was theirs, so they started to choose to open new stores or divert the funds to other places!"

After studying the fitness industry for a few days, Su Yang has recently been communicating frequently with Xu Zhiping, an industry elite. His understanding of the fitness industry has surpassed that of most people, and he can speak very clearly about it.

"They subconsciously ignore the financial risks involved. After all, those members who are sold do not actually consume. The gym must provide corresponding services to the members in the future. Water and electricity bills, rent, property management fees, labor costs, equipment maintenance... these are huge expenses!"

Su Yang thought for a moment and said, "This is just like real estate. They started pre-selling at the beginning, but in the end, they don't know where the funds were spent!"

"Real estate?" The driver suddenly realized. "Now that you explain it, I understand. It's a thunderbolt!"

"Because many gyms are not professional enough and fitness coaches are more like salesmen, many members have a bad experience, resulting in a very low repurchase rate of membership cards. Many gyms find themselves running out of money as they open..."

The driver asked casually: "And then ran away?"

Su Yang said helplessly: "There are some who didn't run away, such as Zhang Liang who transferred the gym to me. There are also a few conscientious ones who refunded the membership fees before closing down!"

"Haha, yes!"

"If you want to see whether a gym is going to run away, first check whether they suddenly start selling annual memberships at a low price, or even three-year memberships. Also, gyms that have been open for one, three, or five years are the most dangerous."

"How to say?"

"The rent is due!"

The driver smiled again. "It looks like you've done a lot of research!"

"I own a gym!"

"what name?"

"Spark Fitness!"

"never heard of that!"

"The old Zhang Liang worked out!"

The driver suddenly asked, "Is it the one in Hyatt Tower?"

"you know?"

"I used to be a member there!" The driver glanced at Su Yang in the rearview mirror, "I got an annual membership there and bought a few private lessons!"

"Old customer?"

The driver said embarrassedly: "I have transferred my annual pass!"

Su Yang asked curiously: "Is it because the gym's service is not up to standard?"

"I used to work at the Hyatt Regency, but I don't work there anymore, and I had some financial problems, so I sold my annual pass!"

"So what did you do before?"

"Making games!" The middle-aged driver laughed helplessly. "But now that I've graduated and haven't found a job yet, I'll just drive an online ride-hailing car first."

Graduate in your thirties or forties?

This is really it!

"I heard that online ride-hailing is also quite profitable!"

The middle-aged driver sighed, "That was in the past. Now we are not making money anymore. The competition is too fierce. Even those who have jobs come here at night to compete with us for customers!"

"Then find a job quickly!"

"I'm also trying my best to find one and I'm also interviewing!"

Su Yang saw the cute cartoon sticker on the back of the driver's seat and suddenly asked:

"I need to go out and look for stores a lot recently. How about you drive for me? The price is negotiable!"

When the driver heard this, he became interested.

"You big boss don't have a car?"

"I'm just a small boss!"

The driver didn't quite believe it: "Zhang Liang Fitness is 2,000 square meters, right? How can a small boss own such a large store?"

"At this stage, my funds are mainly used to start a business, and I don't plan to buy a car for the time being!"

Su Yang had less than two million in funds.

With the Entrepreneur System, every penny you invest now can be earned back many times over in the future!

Buying a cheaper car doesn't fit his personality.

He would feel bad if he bought a slightly more expensive car,

After all, his money can really make money, and he is still in the stage of capital accumulation!

Su Yang was a little envious of those protagonists with the super rich system, who could make money fall from the sky just by lying on the bed!

"That makes sense!" The driver nodded in agreement, "Cars are money-losing goods. They start to depreciate as soon as they leave the 4S shop. You should focus on developing your career now. If you really need a luxury car to show off, you can rent it!"

"Correct!"

"Boss, how about giving me... three hundred a day?" The driver thought for a moment and asked, "But I also need to go to interviews occasionally, but it doesn't take up much time!"

"Sure, I can reimburse you for the gas!"

"The boss is awesome!"
