When Xu Xin returned to Houston, the first thing he did was to visit the store. Did Li Cheng report the progress to him in the past few days? By last night, everything was ready, and all he needed was for him to come back.
Xu Xin drove to the door of the store, "Quick Charging Physiotherapy Center", with five large characters in front of it. This is the name given by Xu Xin, fast charge. As the name suggests, it can allow the body to recover faster after using it.
The reason why it was called a physical therapy center was Li Cheng's suggestion. He felt that the store should not only carry out traditional Chinese massage business. After all, the audience was foreigners, and more professional equipment for sports rehabilitation would be more convincing to them.
Xu Xin also felt that it made sense after hearing this, and spent a huge sum of money to purchase a batch of sports rehabilitation equipment as an aid.
This decision was not made rashly. Xu Xin calculated carefully and found that with this batch of equipment, it was absolutely feasible to raise the price of card application appropriately. In his opinion, the money will be repaid within a week.
Yes, he and Li Cheng had discussed the card application for a long time.
At first, Xu Xin thought that the annual card price of 10,000 yuan was not low, but Li Cheng had a different view.
He felt that the price was a bit too low. It was 10,000 a year, not 10,000 once. The store has limited manpower, so relying on sales to make money is not the best option.
"Brother Xu, think about it, those who need massage like ours are basically the main players and big-name stars of various teams. They have to play dozens or even hundreds of games every year, and the load on their bodies is very heavy. . And they are basically multi-millionaires. Even if we set the price at 1 million a year, we will not lack customers."
Xu Xin felt that Li Cheng's analysis was very reasonable. He had no experience in doing business. In line with the principle of employing people with no suspicion and doubting people without using them, Xu Xin agreed to Li Cheng's plan.
1 million annual card, but he also formulated an additional rule. For Rockets players who have signed rookie contracts and veteran minimum salaries, Xu Xin only charges 5% of their after-tax salary.
Thinking about it later, there is still something wrong. People like Jeremy Lin and Asik, as well as Gerald Green, are neither rookie contracts nor veteran base salaries, but asking them to pay an annual card fee of 1 million a year is obviously a bit unfair. It’s strenuous.
Jeremy Lin earned less than 2 million from salary in the first few years of his career, and the same was true for Asik.
Green has more, but this season his annual salary is only more than 3 million, less than 2 million after tax. If he spends more than half of his annual salary to apply for a card, Xu Xin cannot do such a thing.
After thinking about it, I added another one: For non-rookie contracts and veteran contracts, and the annual salary is less than 5 million, the annual card fee is 8%. For non-rookie contracts and veteran contracts, and the annual salary is less than 10 million, the annual card fee is 10%.
Xu Xin looked around outside the house and pushed the door open. The interior decoration style was completely different from Li Cheng's previous store.
The decoration style is modern and cold. The lobby is spacious and bright, connected to a long and narrow corridor. There are separate massage rooms on both sides. Various sports rehabilitation equipment are placed in several rooms on the other side.
"Mr. Xu, you are finally here."
Li Cheng ran out of a room and said enthusiastically.
"Brother Li, didn't I tell you that you don't need to shout so loudly?"
Xu Xin smiled.
"You still have to be careful in front of outsiders."
Li Cheng chuckled and continued:
"Mr. Xu, are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied, very satisfied."
Xu Xin said and gave Li Cheng a thumbs up.
"So when will we open?"
Li Cheng couldn't wait to ask. During this period, he transferred the original store and was now on standby. Although Xu Xin paid him and all the masseurs one month's salary in advance, according to his generous character, taking other people's money , but without working hard, some people will always feel panic.
"How about tomorrow morning?"
Xu Xin blurted out without thinking too much.
"Great, just tomorrow morning."
Li Cheng agreed very much, he couldn't wait to make money.
"Okay, I will tell the Rockets players about the opening later. They will be the first batch of customers of the team. You have to tell all the masseuses to come here tomorrow and don't make any mistakes."
Xu Xin said seriously.
"That's necessary to ensure the completion of the mission."
Li Cheng agreed without any pretense.
"Okay, don't be so serious. I believe in you and the professional abilities of our masseurs."
Seeing his serious look, Xu Xin felt a little funny, so he punched him in the chest and said with a smile.
. . .
"How much money can we make tomorrow?"
In the hot pot restaurant, Li Cheng said drunkenly.
Everything was arranged for the afternoon, and Li Cheng took Xu Xin for a few drinks no matter what. Xu Xin couldn't shirk it, so he had to obey.
This is the first time to eat hot pot in a foreign country.
"There shouldn't be too many people tomorrow. Only Garnett has an annual salary of more than 10 million in the Rockets, and only Jeremy Lin, Asik and Ariza have an annual salary of more than 5 million."
Xu Xin smiled bitterly and said that he now regretted his bold behavior.
Li Cheng earns 100,000 yuan a month. The combined salary of all masseurs is 200,000 yuan a month. This year, the salary is 3.6 million yuan. Taking into account various expenses inside and outside, the annual expenditure of 4 million yuan is probably unstoppable.
If only players like the Rockets apply for cards, Xu Xin will definitely lose money.
"Don't worry, brother Xu, there will definitely be more than just Rockets players coming tomorrow. I have a pretty good hunch."
Li Cheng said.
"I'd like to lend you some good words."
Xu Xin smiled and said that it was Li Cheng who was comforting him.
Li Cheng didn't notice Xu Xin's anxiety, so he drank himself high. After finishing the hot pot, he stood up unsteadily and couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north.
Xu Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It's not even open yet, so why are you so happy? After paying the bill, I supported him and sent him home.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Xu Xin got dressed and drove to the store, feeling uneasy.
Yesterday, after the Origins finished training, he briefly mentioned his massage parlor, and didn't say anything about coming to support them.
He felt that he was the general manager of the Rockets after all, and with such an identity, for him to ask everyone to come was a bit of a forced sale. He can't do this kind of thing.
But when he arrived at the store, Xu Xin was dumbfounded.
All the Rockets players were present, and everyone brought souvenirs. Not only that, he also saw two heavyweight stars, Pierce and Ray Allen.
Xu Xin got out of the car and walked forward. Before he could say anything, Garnett stepped out and said with a smile:
"Manager Xu's massage parlor is opening, and I must let my two good brothers come to support it."
"Yeah, I've been listening to KG telling me how amazing your massage techniques are for a while. I was dubious at first. But after watching him show off his power in Minnesota two days ago, I was 100% convinced."
Pierce said.
