My Life Can Hang

But there are very few who dare to walk in and exercise in front of everyone.

Although this model is good, it is indeed a bit early.

The shared fitness market education is not enough, and failure is inevitable.

After taking a few glances, Chen Dongcheng sentenced the shared fitness cabin to death.

……

Liyuan Road.

Different from other plots, the environment of Liyuan Road is obviously more comfortable.

Tall and lush trees blocked the sun, and pedestrians on the road could finally slow down.

The crisp sound of the bell came from not far away. It turned out that a customer came out of the coffee shop by opening the small iron door.

The garden surrounded by green plants is not large. There is a pebble-paved path leading directly to the store, and a layer of wooden floor is also laid in the courtyard.

When the weather is cool, it is very comfortable to have a cup of coffee in the garden, and the mottled light and shadow play on the table.

The whole coffee shop is painted with white paint, which looks very low-key. The interior of the shop is deliberately made of mottled gray walls.

There are four or five small tables in the hall, and two rooms with different layouts, which are very warm.

"welcome."

Sun Ying smiled and raised his head to say hello, suddenly stunned.

"Have a matcha cake and a latte."

Chen Dongcheng was sitting on the high chair opposite the bar, and there was a cat that was not afraid of life on the high chair next to him, looking at Chen Dongcheng curiously.

"Meow."

"It's called Tang Yuan, a cat I adopted."

"sweet dumpling?"

Chen Dongcheng touched it a few times. Tangyuan was the favorite of the coffee shop. He turned over and lay lazily with half-squinted eyes.

Sun Ying smiled very happily when he saw that Chen Dongcheng liked dumplings so much.

After a while, he handed Chen Dongcheng a cup of coffee and a matcha cake.

"Hey, it's delicious."

Chen Dongcheng tasted a matcha cake, and Sun Ying paired it with some small pieces of fruit.

The appearance is beautiful and the taste is not bad, no wonder the popularity of the store is so high.

There was no open space in the house, and the yard outside was almost full.

"It seems that President Xue has designed it for you quite well."

"Yeah, when Sister Xue's design draft was given to me, I was very surprised. Many customers who came to the store said that the style of our store was very artistic, and there were many girls who came to take pictures and punch cards."

Sun Ying quit her job as a teacher and felt like she was reborn.

I study and make coffee every day, chat a few times with the guests who come to the coffee shop, and live a comfortable life.

There is a small sofa in the store with a few Winnie the Poohs on it. Chen Dongcheng sat on the sofa and lay down for a while.

"Dong Chen, Miss Liu is here."

Xie Jingyu walked into the coffee shop with a woman with short hair, walked to Chen Dongcheng and gently woke him up.

The warm afternoon sun is accompanied by the soft music in the coffee shop.

Chen Dongcheng couldn't help but feel sleepy while sitting just now, so he slept for a while.

"Miss Liu, hello."

"Just ask me to jump, Mr. Chen, I heard Secretary Xie say you want to invest in us?"

Chen Dongcheng smiled and nodded: "As far as I know, you guys are planning to open a gym in Bao'an District recently?"

"How did you know that?"

Jumping was a little surprised, but he didn't deny it: "It's true that we are negotiating, and the other party's offer to us is very attractive."

"Is the rent very cheap, and the decoration time for you is very long?"

Jumping was completely stunned. If it weren't for the fact that only a few of their founders had been busy, and they were all very close friends, she really thought there were traitors among them.

"Ma'am, your coffee."

Sun Ying was a little curious about her identity. After delivering the coffee, she quietly observed not far away.

Jumping uneasily stirring the coffee, looked at the young investor in front of him: "Mr. Chen, you might as well speak directly."

"I invest for you, you help me make money, and I am willing to give you US dollars. You should understand the difference between US dollar VCs and RMB VCs, right?"

Of course I understand it. Since I want to start a business, I must understand some of these basic materials.

USD VC is characterized by patience and experience.

Most of the RMB VC is the money of the rich generation or institutions in China.

They invest in some fast-growing, profitable enterprises.

If JD.com and Ali had taken RMB VC back then, these two companies would not have survived at all.

Jump jump is very clear about their development model, and it has nothing to do with short-term profits.

The U.S. VC is the most suitable for them, but the problem is that the U.S. VC doesn't look down on their story at all.

The failure of shared fitness pods has a big impact on them.

Chen Dongcheng was sure that his heart would be beat, and he sipped his coffee without rushing or slow.

"Mr. Chen, I want to know how much you plan to invest in us and what price we need to pay?"

Jumping hesitated for a moment, intending to listen to Chen Dongcheng's conditions before making a judgment.

"I can give you a million dollars, you need to hand over 40% of the shares."

The conditions Chen Dongcheng offered were just right on their bottom line.

Guarantee their control, and get a considerable amount of money.

Jump jump almost responded, but her reason still allowed her to restrain her impulse.

"Mr. Chen, do you want more shares?"

"A lot?"

Jumping looks a little embarrassed. They just fell on the shared fitness cabin before they plan to change their minds.

I intend to abandon the development idea of ​​shared fitness cabins, and try to start with group courses to test the water fitness market.

Everything is unknown, and the funds received by the angel round have been spent almost.

If the Baoan store is finished, it will really come to a dead end.

The biggest difficulty of jumping is that the venture capital institutions that invest in the angel round do not plan to invest any more money.

The Bao'an store was their last chance to use the little money they had left to fight against the odds.

But like many entrepreneurs, no one wants to lose control of the company.

If you want to grow and grow, it is normal to take VC money.

How many shares can be left in the end really only depends on luck.

Encountered moderate VCs can accommodate their founding teams. If there are some bad VCs, there are countless examples of founders being kicked out.

In the end, Tiaotiao did not agree, and planned to try Baoan Store first.

Sun Ying came over to clean up, and Chen Dongcheng boasted with a smile, "Your coffee making skills have improved."

"It's okay, there is enough time to study every day, this kind of day is really good."

After Sun Ying finished packing, he sat opposite Chen Dongcheng and asked curiously, "Who was your friend just now?"

"No, a potential company founder."

"Isn't that negotiable?"

"Well, some people always have to fall and hurt to accept reality."

Chen Dongcheng called Zhuang Manting to release the news, and keep planned to go offline in a big way to seek traffic realization.

This is a kind of invisible pressure. In the past, keep was high and dominated the position of online traffic dominance.

These new entrants are very smart to find a new way to change the traditional gym, and they have also won the favor of a lot of capital.

What Chen Dongcheng has to do is to first give a signal to these capitals that are planning to invest, so that they start to hesitate.

In the end, can these new entrants develop under the strong pressure of keep?

If not, it is better not to vote.

Lest the final project die and the investment go to waste.

In any case, as long as keep releases rumors, the capital that you intend to invest will definitely be cautious and cautious, and it is inevitable to take care of it for a while.

This is the advantage of being a big company. In the Internet fitness track, keep is a well-deserved leader.

The other little brothers are forced to take the offline road, but if the big brother also takes the offline mode.

For these companies that have just started, it is undoubtedly the top of Mount Tai.

The traffic of keep is too scary for them.

The [-] million user base is a natural moat that every new entrant can hope to achieve.

"Yingying, I'm leaving first."

At five o'clock in the evening, the coffee shop closes.

The roasters and baristas in the store are also girls, so just say hello to Sun Ying and go first.

Chen Dongcheng sighed a little, this is the advantage of not lacking money.

If I change to other coffee shops, I guess I can't wait to open 24 hours to make money.

Sun Ying changed his overalls, revealing the white T-shirt and blue denim skirt inside.
