Chapter 489 New Project Launched
After hearing Qiao Weidong's thoughts, Wang Yidi and Qiao Yingzi both looked bitter.
The evaluation just given is conservative. It is not just that it is difficult to achieve, but that it is impossible to achieve.
Qiao Weidong's suggestion is actually very simple. Since the profit from simply running a pet shop is very small, he should expand the scale and upgrade it to a pet hospital.
The cost of surgery and vaccination is much more expensive than giving a cat or dog a bath.
It is perfectly normal to spend a month's salary when a pet gets sick.
It's easier said than done. Opening a pet hospital involves many more rules and regulations than opening a pet shop.
First, you need to obtain a pet treatment license from the animal husbandry department under the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Commission.
Secondly, the issuance of licenses has very high hardware and site requirements for megacities like Beijing.
The mere prohibition of opening businesses in catering, educational and densely populated areas has kept Wang Yidi and Qiao Yingzi's shops out.
If the two wanted to upgrade to a pet hospital, the first thing they would do was to move, choose a suitable store outside the Fourth Ring Road, and renovate it.
"Dad, your advice is too unreliable. I asked you to help us solve our problems, not to trick us into investing millions."
Qiao Yingzi rolled her eyes and complained about the bad advice given by Qiao Weidong.
"There are actually some reliable options. You can close the store and then sell the shops. With the rising shop prices this year, you can barely break even with your initial investment and avoid too much loss."
In Qiao Weidong's view, the failure of his two children's business ventures is actually a good thing.
People cannot learn by teaching, but things can teach them once.
This lesson taught the two of them that making money is not that easy. They should be more careful when investing in the future and not be easily fooled by others. It can be considered as spending a small amount of money to buy experience.
If the two of them really succeeded in starting a business, Qiao Weidong would be worried instead.
After listening to the advice, Qiao Yingzi moved closer to Wang Yidi.
"My dad has a point. If we quit now, we won't lose much money. But you invested the most money, so it's still up to you to decide."
The loss of money was nothing to Wang Yidi. After all, she had never expected to make much money from the store from the beginning. She just wanted to find something to do when she saw Chen Jinnian's company growing bigger and bigger.
But now it seems that she is really not cut out for business. Compared to Chen Jinnian, who is stingy in cost control, she can be considered extravagant.
If Chen Jinnian took over the store, he would probably lay off more than half of the employees without thinking, and then give salary increases and bonuses to those who stayed. No matter how much the salary increase was, it would be cheaper than paying the five insurances and one fund again after adding more staff.
"Actually, our store's cash flow is fine, but our expenses are too high. How about we transfer the store to our employees? After receiving a transfer fee, we will only be responsible for collecting the monthly rent."
After Wang Yidi finished expressing his ideas, Qiao Yingzi had not yet made up her mind, but Qiao Weidong on the opposite side immediately applauded.
"That's a good idea. You all don't have time anyway, so why not give it to someone who wants to make money? As long as they work hard, the pet shop will be profitable."
"What's good is good."
Qiao Yingzi interrupted her father and said, "Many fans know that the pet shop was opened by Jinnian and Didi. What if the person who took over uses their name to defraud people?"
Wang Yidi was suddenly frightened, and bad memories came back to his mind.
At the beginning of last month, she was cyber-bullied for some unfounded rumors. If the situations that Qiao Yingzi expected really happened and were hyped up by people with ulterior motives, it would not just affect her.
Thinking of this, Wang Yidi suddenly became nervous.
"You're right. I need to think about it carefully. Let's talk about moving or closing the store after the New Year."
Wang Yidi said goodbye to Qiao Yingzi and left.
The short-haired woman sitting next to him saw Wang Yidi stand up, and she also quickly stood up and followed him.
She is not a paparazzi who is following people. She was specially arranged by Wang Yidi's grandfather to replace Wang Yiming's job. Having a girl as the bodyguard can save Wang Yidi a lot of trouble.
Wang Yiming is now mainly following Chen Jinnian. In fact, Chen Jinnian does not need Wang Yiming's protection, but he does need someone he trusts to help drive.
Chen Jinnian will not stay in the company all the time. He has a lot of connections to make before the New Year. In addition to directors like Ning Hao who like to stay at home, he also has to go to China Film Group and Air Force Political Department.
After the script of "Zhou Chu" was revised, it was selected as an investment project of China Film Group in 2018.
It’s just that it started very late, and Chen Jinnian hasn’t started preparing yet.
There is also a movie produced by the Air Force Political Department. The project is nicknamed "K". It does not have a specific name yet, only the plot outline and the main character have been determined.
The protagonists are the J-10C, J-16, and J-20.
The J-20 that Chen Jinnian had been looking forward to was not allowed to be photographed last year, but this year it has been officially deployed in large numbers by the troops and it can no longer be hidden, so it is not impossible to photograph it if you want.
It just requires strict inspection to ensure that the shots appearing in the feature film do not contain any confidential content.
This means that Chen Jinnian can film the three generations of main air superiority fighters, namely "Menglong", "Qianlong", and "Weilong", under restricted conditions.
At the same time, in order to ensure that the film would not be made into an idol drama with people wearing foundation and spraying hairspray, the Air Force Political Department required Chen Jinnian, as the leading actor of the film, to participate in three months of basic pilot training in the army.
The training intensity of air force pilots is different from that of civil aviation pilots.
There are now an outrageous number of students in the civil aviation industry. People have to queue up to get internship on the plane. Naturally, the physical conditions and training requirements are not that high, but the requirements of the Air Force are not just passing. They want the best students.
The fixed elimination rate of 30% each time is only to screen out the elite among the elite.
Under such requirements, the physical limits of the Air Force basic training can be described as abnormal.
The Air Force Political Department did not expect to train Chen Jinnian to be a real pilot, so the requirement for him was three months at best, one month if that was not possible. If that still did not work, he could only go to the Civil Aviation University of China to participate in further basic training.
This is because the Air Force Zheng saw that Chen Jinnian was in good health. If it were any other actor, they wouldn't even bother to mention it, thinking that he would be killed after two or three days of training.
The other actors couldn't stand it, but it was indeed a good thing for Chen Jinnian. Being able to participate in air force pilot training was exciting just thinking about it. If he could touch a fighter jet with his own hands or sit in a trainer plane, it would be a huge profit.
If he didn't have to finish filming "Zhou Chu" first, he would have wanted to join the military flight academy for training right away.
And with the film project finalized, it means that Chen Jinnian can disclose the originally confidential content.
He also went home immediately to inform his family of the good news.
