Reborn 92's Business Tycoon

Chapter 412: Crowdfunding project

The roommate's other roommate, Huang Jingping, was also there to pick her up. She was very excited because she had just received her new car. She always took Feng Yiping out for a drive at night. She wanted to say that she drove Feng Yiping to school, and besides, there was no room for everyone in the car, and she happened to be there.

Moreover, after the incident with Zuo Qing, Feng Yiping didn't want to get involved in any more trouble. With his girlfriend by his side, those who were harbouring ulterior motives should have given up.

Not only the five people in the dormitory, Liang Yonggao also brought his girlfriend, Cai from the Fine Arts College. This was the first time she had met Huang Jingping, and she sighed inwardly that she really lived up to her reputation. After chatting for a while, she naturally got into Huang Jingping's car, followed by Liang Yonggao and Han Guiliang. The other three sat in Feng Yiping's car.

'Yiping, this is a little something from the rest of us,' Jin Bao carried a large bag of fruit.

'And this,' Yan Zhida was also holding a box with plastic wrap on one side, inside was a pair of porcelain pigs, still playing kissy-face?

'You don't have to be so polite with me,'

'It's just etiquette!' Lu Wenqing said.

Well, everyone is considered an adult, and it's really not good to go empty-handed on your first visit to someone's home.

The capital is a big place these days, and Yan Zhida and Han Guiliang, being local people, don't really know everyone. Their student days were not as eventful as Feng Yiping's, and for many years they generally just went between school and home.

When they saw the villas that had already been built or were under construction along the Wenyu River, they felt a little envious and then thought that they must get one here too.

They felt the same way when they saw Feng Yiping's house. To be honest, the house itself was not particularly outstanding, but the location gave it some extraordinary qualities.

Lu Wenqing looked up and down the building, back and forth, and said, 'Yiping, I've decided. I'll make your house here my goal.'

This remark seems a little unambitious now, but back at school, everyone was full of ambition, so no one agreed with him.

'Lu, you're being too modest. We've caught a good wave of times. Don't worry, these things will definitely be within your reach in the future,' Feng Yiping said, smiling and patting him on the shoulder.

Actually, it's not necessarily true!

Although everyone is now considered to be among the more outstanding of their peers, a high level of education does not necessarily mean a high level of achievement. A high level of education is only a sufficient condition for success, not a necessary condition, let alone a necessary and sufficient condition.

Even twenty years later, having a stable job in a provincial capital city or other first- or second-tier city in China, a three-bedroom apartment, and a mid-range car is, comparatively speaking, actually equivalent to being middle class in the United States, and is the goal of many people's struggles.

In the end, only a minority of people can live in a house like Feng Yiping's, which was later called a luxury house. Moreover, the housing prices at that time were even more disproportionate to the per capita income at that time.

Of course, we should still have dreams, just in case they come true.

'It should be said that Yiping's achievements are the direction for us to strive for,' Han Guiliang said, putting his arm around Lu Wenqing.

He is a student in the Department of Engineering Mechanics, and has the rigor of a science and engineering student. He is not arrogant enough to think that he will definitely surpass Feng Yiping in the future. Quite simply, according to the general rule, someone with a good foundation like Feng Yiping, who started off at a high level, will definitely develop better than someone like them who has nothing to start with.

'Lao Han, you're killing me,' Feng Yiping laughed and invited the two of them into the house, 'How can you be sure about these things? Things are changing so quickly now, and people like me who work in traditional industries can easily be surpassed,'

'Traditional industries will always be the cornerstone. Without them, other industries cannot thrive,' Jin Bao, who was also in the courtyard, interjected, and then waved them over, whispering, "Come quickly,'

'What's wrong?" Feng Yiping asked, seeing that he and Yan Zhida were acting strangely.

'Don't move too much. 10 o'clock, second floor balcony,'

Lu Wenqing twisted his neck, and Jin Bao patted him on the back, 'Act naturally,'

Feng Yiping looked amused, and seeing Jin Bao wearing glasses and acting so mysterious, he guessed what they were looking at.

The family living over there were foreigners, from some country or another, and of course, none of that mattered, what mattered was the family at nine o'clock, and actually, that family didn't matter either, what mattered was the woman of the house, with blonde hair and blue eyes, not to mention her pretty face, but the key was her figure, it was simply It's so fierce, it can really make many girls with wavy hair want to die. For example, if she were lying there right now, the two mounds on her chest would be too much for the big sea bowls in Feng Yiping's hometown. They probably couldn't even fit them. They're not comparable to the not-many international exchange students at school.

'Okay, that's enough, don't be so unambitious. There will be bread, there will be milk, and there will be foreign beauties with figures like that in the future.' Feng Yiping pushed them towards home. Women have a keen sense of feeling. The few of them just looked over there with a little cover-up, drooling. People will definitely notice. He still has to live here!

Jin Bao was still not satisfied. 'Yiping, are there a lot of foreigners here?'

'Yes, there are many foreigners here, not only from Europe and America, but also from Asia,'

There are many foreigners in the Central Villa District these days, but Feng Yiping is not at all interested. He has heard that they value privacy, so in this community, Feng Yiping and his neighbours will never get to know each other. Not to mention paying visits, if they meet on the street, and if others don't greet him, he won't even look at them, so as not to invite trouble.

Liang Yonggao performed the best, and would help Huang Jingping and Xiao Cai in the kitchen. Seeing them come in, he sighed and said, 'Yiping, your kitchen is as big as two or three of our dormitories,'

'and it's only used for eating, isn't it?' Huang Jingping and Xiao Cai were setting the table. 'Okay, everyone, please sit down!'

This was the first time the large dining table at home had been put to use. On the table, apart from two or three vegetarian dishes, everything else was meat. Feng Yiping took out two bottles of white wine and said, 'Let's just help ourselves. This is all there is, just a little over three or two for each person, okay? But you must definitely eat a lot of the dishes and try to finish them all, otherwise it will be a waste.'

Feng Yiping could not guarantee that they would drink well, but he could guarantee that they would eat well.

At Feng Yiping's house, in front of the girls, they were a bit reserved at first, but then they saw that the two girls were also eating and drinking heartily, so they let their guard down and ate heartily.

'Yiping, I was going to ask you,' the girl's appetite is always a little smaller, and when she doesn't eat much, Cai slows down, 'Regarding the crowdfunding project, many people think that opening a bookstore is a good idea, and the investment can be large or small. For example, we can sell second-hand textbooks, which is in line with our identity as students, and the profit is quite considerable. The prospects are also good. If we work hard, we may be able to turn it into a brand like Eslite Bookstore. What do you think?'

Cai is the only girl among the three initiators. She comes from a coastal area with a strong business atmosphere. Her family produces plastic toys, so she has been exposed to it since childhood. Although she studied art, she is not unfamiliar with doing business.

'Opening a bookstore,' Feng Yiping mused.

It's not surprising that students starting a business would think of opening a bookstore, but it's really not a good way to go.

For example, the Wanquanhe Bookstore Street, which is currently booming, will be completely deserted in a few years. Even those bookstores inside and outside universities, less than half of them will survive. And most of them can't afford to rent ground-level stores, so they have to move to basements.

'Hong Kong and Taiwan are not at the same stage of development as us, so it's not really comparable. Eslite Bookstore may be successful in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but it's not really likely to succeed in the mainland. In addition, Eslite is actually not just a bookstore, it is a comprehensive cultural industry with a very large scope of operations,'

'But there are so many universities nearby, and students have a huge demand for books,'

'Yes, there is definitely a high demand, but the libraries of the various universities also have a large collection of books, which cancels out a large part of it. In addition, our budget for buying books is also limited. On average, how many books can a student buy in a year? And there is also fierce competition around the schools. Although the profits are good, future operating costs, such as rent, are also rising rapidly.'

It is always easier to find reasons after you know the result. Seeing that Xiao Cai's face was a little gloomy, Feng Yiping changed the subject. 'If you want to do it, I would suggest going in a different direction. Instead of focusing on college students, you could mainly target enterprises and institutions and specialize in hardcover books.

As we all know, whether people read them or not, there are always a few bookshelves full of hardcover tomes in the offices of some leaders and bosses. This is not a small market, and they all buy in bulk.

Of course, this is just my personal opinion, but whether or not our association is approved by the school, the first thing we dozens of people do must be successful, otherwise no one can withstand the blow. So I suggest that we not rush things. Before deciding to do it, we should conduct another careful market survey.

It is best to follow the textbook approach and prepare a qualified business plan for each project proposed. Once the business plan is released, it will be easy to tell whether there is a need for a project.'

Jinbao was listening as well. 'Yiping is right. Let's be more formal and do more preliminary work. By the way, what do you suggest for the project?'

'Personally, I think a dry cleaning business is actually not bad.'
