Chapter 76 - 74 I’ll Make the Call for You
Judging by the number of people who had signed up at the Bo Yuan Boxing Gym in Qi City, even if the sign-up numbers in Chuhua City were only half that of Qi City, Wu Li estimated that he would be able to recoup his costs in two years, not to mention that his fame would continue to grow in the future.
After confirming the shop, Wu Li made a phone call to Liu Yuanbo, told him about the situation here, and advised him to send someone over when he finished handling the branch matters there.
This was where the benefits of directly investing in an established company became apparent. The decoration of the venue, purchasing of various equipment, hiring of coaches, arrangements for salaries, as well as promotional work and the most important VIP membership system—all of these were already part of a complete system at Bo Yuan Boxing Gym. Liu Yuanbo and his people had relevant experience; Wu Li didn’t need to be hands-on with every detail but could focus on directing the broader vision.
Moreover, Bo Yuan Company had already signed a strategic partnership with Haohan Fitness. Many members from Haohan Fitness were interested in martial arts, and during the early stages of promotion and customer acquisition, Haohan Fitness could provide assistance. Once Bo Yuan Boxing Gym expanded, it could channel customers to Haohan Fitness in return, forming a mutually beneficial relationship.
As long as the reputation and customer count of Bo Yuan Boxing Gym could keep up, it was foreseeable that Bo Yuan Company’s future development would be astonishingly rapid. Next up for Bo Yuan Company was to open branches and recruit staff.
Regarding how to arrange staff positions, how to retain talents, how to promote the gym, and how to interact with customers—all these intricate details Wu Li intended to leave to Liu Yuanbo. This was one of the reasons why Liu Wenhan had agreed for Liu Yuanbo to continue running the company, hoping to develop Liu Yuanbo’s capabilities.
Wu Li wasn’t worried at all about being sidelined or losing control over the company. Firstly, he held a controlling stake; secondly, the future development of the gym heavily depended on Wu Li’s fame. In other words, he was the core competitive edge of Bo Yuan Company. As the company grew, his position within the company would only become increasingly secure.
After purchasing the shop, Wu Li returned to school to meet up with Chen Dong and Wang Xuecheng—as tonight, their dorm room was planning a social gathering with Zhang Jia’er’s dorm room.
Since he had previously promised to join, Wu Li couldn’t go back on his word. Coupled with his roommates suddenly becoming excited, he had no choice but to accompany them.
At 7 pm, both groups met up at a barbecue restaurant.
After greetings were exchanged, they sat down and started chatting.
