Cultivating a girl band, but the goal is to lose money!

Sure enough, everything was as he expected.

Although this store is located in a remote area, it is doing very well, with a stable flow of customers, many cooperating bands, and one or two major live performances every week.

It can be said that as long as you don’t do anything stupid, you will make money.

And this is exactly what Lin Yi cannot accept.

What he needs to do is not to increase the firm's revenue, but to find a way to release the water!

After walking out of the shop, Xiangzi turned his head and asked.

"Lin Yi, what do you think of this store?"

Lin Yi paused for a moment and didn't say yes or no, because he needed to find a reason. If the reason was not good and full of loopholes, Xiangzi would just say a few words, plus the system's detection, and he would probably have no choice but to choose this store.

"Let's go check out some other stores. Only by comparing can we know which store is good."

Lin Yi's strategy was simple. He would visit all the suitable stores, pick the worst one overall, and not make a decision on the spot. After sending Xiangzi away, he would decide the matter another day.

"Okay, let's go then."

Xiangzi nodded. She felt that what Lin Yi said made sense.

Besides, since it's such a rare opportunity for a date for two, we naturally have to visit more places.

……

Lin Yi and Xiangzi visited many shops and found a place to eat at noon.

Although these shops were not as easy to pass by at a glance as the first one, Lin Yi was still not satisfied.

Although they all have rotten parts, they are not rotten enough and cannot hurt Lin Yi's heart.

These stores are too mediocre.

There is a high probability that you will lose money if you choose these stores, but the loss will not be large enough or thorough enough to solve the current problem.

Lin Yi cannot rent all these stores as the system is still monitoring them. Nebula Office has just started its offline business. Is it a big deal to open so many stores at once?

If you can only conduct business step by step, then you must select the elite among the elite and follow the three-loss principle: lose more, lose bigger, and lose faster!

"Lin Yi, there is only one store left for us to inspect. Wait for me to make a phone call to contact the store manager first."

Before entering the subway, Xiangzi greeted Lin Yi and walked aside to make a phone call.

A few minutes later, Xiangzi came back with a smile on his face.

"Lin Yi, the store manager is in the store now, let's go over there."

Lin Yi looked at Xiangzi's happy expression and felt strange in his heart. It seemed that this store was very different.

I just don't know what's different.

Hopefully it's different from the rotten ones.

……

Tokyo, northern suburbs, Saitama Prefecture, Nishikawaguchi District.

"LIVEHOUSE SPACE?"

Lin Yi looked at the name of the store from a distance and murmured.

This store really doesn't look that good. The entrance has been converted into a parking lot, and there are even vines climbing up the walls of the building. The "Temporarily Closed" sign seems to have been hanging there for a long time.

"Yes, this is it."

Xiangzi nodded and said.

SPACE was very famous in the past, but it suddenly closed for some unknown reason more than two years ago.

In order to contact the manager of SPACE, Xiangzi used a lot of connections, including asking his predecessor Tsukinomori and Xiaomu.

"How is this store?"

Lin Yi asked habitually.

"I'm not so sure either."

Xiangzi shook his head and said, "This store has been closed for a long time. Lin Yi, you can talk to the store manager later."

Lin Yi nodded and walked towards the store.

Just then, a tabby cat emerged from the bushes and stood by the roadside licking its paws.

Behind the tabby cat, there was a girl with short silver-white hair and heterochromic eyes. The girl did not notice Lin Yi and the others, but squatted beside the cat, gently stroking its chin.

Lin Yi's attention was attracted by the figure of the girl.

【Tom Rakuna】

There is no doubt that this is a new card in the card pool.

The fact that this girl named Kaname Rakuna appears here may be related to this store called SPACE.

It wasn't good to keep staring at a girl, so Lin Yi quickly looked away, then pushed the door and walked into the store.

What surprised him was that although the exterior of SPACE was a little mottled, the interior of the store was unusually clean without any dust, and it seemed that someone came to clean it regularly.

Hearing the noise at the door, a figure walked out.

She was a thin old lady with short white curly hair, who looked extremely energetic and had a faint sense of oppression unconsciously emanating from her body.

She is the store manager of SPACE.

Lin Yi walked up enthusiastically.

"Hello, store manager. I am Lin Yi, the president of Xingyun Office. I would like to learn about the basic situation of this store from you."

"Everyone builds a boat of poetry."

The old lady gave her name, first glanced at Lin Yi, and then looked at Xiangzi behind him.

Tsuzuki Shisen actually has no interest in subletting SPACE. She doesn't need the money. The reason she came here to meet Lin Yi today is mainly for Xiangzi and to save face for the end of the band.

She knew that the little girl who ran away from Toyokawa's family also admired the recently emerging Ending Band.

"Young man, my store has no merits or advantages. It has long been eliminated and has no value."

Tsuzuki Shichuan said this seriously, trying to make Lin Yi back down.

But it was these words that made Lin Yi's eyes light up and aroused his interest.

92

Chapter 92: SPACE! The place where dragons rise!

"Manager, can you tell me where exactly there is no value?"

Lin Yi's eyes were bright as he asked curiously.

Tsuzuki Shichuan was completely stunned by Lin Yi's words.

She saw that this young man named Lin Yi was handsome and had an extraordinary temperament. He had his own business at a young age and was running it well. No matter how you looked at him, he should be very smart.

How could he ask such a question?

Lin Yi said the wrong thing in his excitement, and quickly made up for it: "Ahem... I mean, I really want to know more about the situation of this store and some of its operating issues."

At this time, the girl who had just been playing with the cat at the door of SPACE walked in and stood in the corner observing the situation here. Her blue and yellow eyes were like a cat's.

Tsuzuki Shichuan glanced at his granddaughter, then looked at Lin Yi and said calmly: "Go ahead, what are your questions?"

"Manager, why did you close this store in the first place?"

“Because of poor management.”

Tsuzuki Shichuan answered casually.

If a person wants to sell a store, he will naturally try hard to promote it and talk about the advantages of his store.

But Tsuzuki Shifune had no such idea at all. She just wanted to fool this stubborn boy in front of her as quickly as possible, so she just made up a few excuses for this purpose.

"SPACE didn't have many people coming at that time, and there were few live bands. It couldn't continue to operate, so it had to close down naturally."

Listening to Tsuzuki Shichuan's words, Xiangzi felt confused.

If she remembered correctly, the store manager was a very famous senior in the industry, and there was no way SPACE would fall to the point where no one cared about it.

But... an old senior like this wouldn't lie, so she must have been wrong.

thump! thump!

Lin Yi heard his own heartbeat.

Excited heartbeat.

He and Xiangzi visited so many places today, but the first store was so terrible that it couldn't even get a band together for a live performance!

Come to think of it, this store is located in a remote area, the decoration is not very good, and there is grass growing at the door!

No wonder the store has not been sublet for more than two years since it was closed.

Who else would take over except for a sucker like him? No one!

Calm down, Lin Yi, stay calm. You have suffered many losses and must not be fooled by the surface of things.

Ask in more detail.

Lin Yi asked seriously: "Excuse me, store manager, why haven't you sold the store during the long period of closure?"

Tsuzuki Shichuan frowned slightly. He had already said that the store couldn't continue to operate because no one was running it, so why was he still asking this?

"This store is quite special to me, so the rental price is relatively high."

Tsk, this old lady is really something, and she is quite special. She just wants to raise the price.

You are very lucky to have met your God of Wealth.

Lin Yi felt that he was very lucky. If the landlord did not raise the price on his own initiative, he would not be allowed to pay rent that was too high above the local average.

"How high exactly?"

"Ten million a month."

Ten million? Ten million!

Hearing this number, Lin Yi's breathing seemed to stop for a moment, and his heart was filled with ecstasy.

Found it, finally found it. The location is bad, the rent is high and no one wants to come. This is the choice he has always dreamed of!

LIVEHOUSE SPACE, this store might just become the starting point for Lin Yi to succeed on his road to losing money!

The rent is 10 million per month, and you can pay more if you sign a long-term contract. Add to that the subsequent decoration, expansion, purchasing, hiring of employees, and miscellaneous expenses, and you will definitely lose money in this round!

"Ten million? Okay, deal!"

Lin Yi showed a bright smile on his face and said impatiently.

"Manager, when do you think we should sign the contract?"

To deal with this kind of greedy landlord, Lin Yi, who is not short of money, chooses to cut the Gordian knot quickly. This way, the other party will see how enthusiastic he is and may raise the price again. Signing the contract on the spot can also save him from unnecessary trouble.

Both sides win anyway!

Xiangzi was immediately panicked at this time. Why did Lin Yi choose such a bad store? Wouldn’t it be better to choose the first one he saw today?

She tried desperately to wink at Lin Yi and even coughed softly to remind him, but Lin Yi didn't notice at all.

Lin Yi smiled slightly in his heart. Xiaoxiang, a mere idiot, wants to delay my important business at this time. Don’t even think about it!

Moreover, if the 20 million he got was gone, how would he support Aiyin and Xiangzi? Would he just live off them?

Lin Yi didn't want to go shopping with his girlfriend, but he didn't even have money to split the bill.

Tsuzuki Shifune looked at the young man in front of him. Was he here for his fame? He wanted to use the excuse of giving him money to make him owe him a favor?

But seeing how sincere Lin Yi was, it was obvious that he was really interested in SPACE. But there was a problem. She had described SPACE so badly, why was Lin Yi still interested in SPACE?

The little girl from the Toyokawa family was obviously extremely anxious.

"Young man, do you know me?"

Tsuzuki Shifune asked aloud.

"May I ask you are?"
