The day after he came back from Pengcheng, Li Mu began to register his domain name.
The first domain he tried to register was Facebook.
Unfortunately, the domain was registered in 1997.
Think about it carefully. It seems that Mark Zuckerberg didn't have the money to buy Facebook's domain name at first, but only after financing, did he get the domain name.
Li Mu didn't care. He also wanted to find some good Chinese double spell domain names to register. It's also good to register several supporting and playing domains for less than 100 yuan a year.
Although many doubles have been registered, many domain names that will become household names in the future have not yet been registered, such as Taobao.
Taobao was registered in 2003. Before Ma Yun, no one thought of Taobao on the Internet.
The word "Taobao" should have been a great idea in Ma Yun's mind at the beginning. Of course, the Taobao model itself is great, but it can't be denied that the word "Taobao" is also great, because it's too intuitive and image. It's not only obvious, but it's also releasing a kind of subconscious. I have a lot of babies here. Come to Taobao soon.
So Taobao's meaning to Jack Ma should be similar to Facebook's meaning to Mark Zuckerberg.
Ha ha, I'm sorry
Later, the word "wechat" didn't survive the disaster. As soon as I thought that Baidu would play the post bar in two years, Li Mu registered the post bar.com and douban.com. He also wanted to register "know. Com", but unfortunately, he was registered by others.
At the thought of his own music portal plan, Li Mu thought about it and registered an eting, which can be understood as e-listening, easy to listen to, and good for memory and input.
It doesn't cost much to register a bunch of domain names, but it's extremely useful for the future.
……
After finishing the domain name, Li Mu went out for a walk.
He was thinking about opening a specialty store for his parents. Now that the money is in hand, it's time to put the plan into practice.
Li Mu went out and went straight to the most prosperous commercial street in Haizhou. He wanted to have a look at the rental situation of the shops first, to see if there were any suitable shops, and then to inquire about the rental price.
The impression is that Haizhou commercial street has been booming since 2002. Now it has not really become the center of retail business. At present, people buy things in a single way. The low-end ones go to all kinds of small markets and urban-rural areas. The slightly better ones go to department stores. There are all kinds of stalls, everything for sale, and the higher-end ones go to provincial cities.
So now in this commercial street, there are only a few exclusive stores, and some Hotels with a little level. Most shops are buying them.
Li Mu laughed when he saw that there was a sole trader with an area of more than 100 square meters selling off the off-season wool pants with tears.
"The last three days!" was written on the huge white paper outside the door It's striking.
In Li Mu's impression, this kind of peddler usually rents stalls by day or by week, and changes places by shooting. Now he even rents such a large shop that is so close to the city center. There is only one possibility. The rent of the shop is cheap.
No wonder, in 2001, the economic development of Haizhou was still too backward. People's consumption concept has not been cultivated. Even those who do business in this city, many people have not got their heads.
Li Ning's shop is now very popular. His shoes are too expensive. In those days, he sold two or three hundred pairs of shoes. Clothes are not cheap. Unlike Benny Road, his business is good. On the one hand, because Liu Dehua advertises, on the other hand, because the price is more close to the people.
A pair of jeans is also 99, 119 so that short sleeves can be bought in the early 20's, and in the winter, more than 100 and 200 can buy a cotton padded jacket.
However, whether it's Li Ning or Benny road or Shuangxing or Zhenwei, Li Mu has found a common feature: the store is too small.
In several stores, Shuangxing store is the smallest with a width of 56 meters and a length of less than 10 meters, which is more than 50 square meters;
Benny Road, Li Ning and Zhenwei are slightly larger. Most of their shops are in a two door pattern, with a length of nearly 10 meters, but with a depth of less than 10 meters, which is not 90 square meters at all;
Li Mu looked around and saw the tears On the last day of selling cashmere pants, the black and strong man shopkeeper was carrying a cigarette and was full of bitterness and hatred. So he went to buy a pack of Chinese cigarettes and took them apart and walked up to him.
"Hey, big brother, are you from Mong province?" Li Mu's suit is close.
"Yes." When the man saw that Li Mu was a young man, he knew that he would not buy his old cashmere pants. He responded casually.
Li Mu immediately took out a cigarette. The striking red color stunned the middle-aged male shopkeeper. He exclaimed in his heart: at such a young age, he even smoked in Greater China, which is really a luxury!
When he was greedy, Li Mu just took out two of them and threw them to each other. He exclaimed, "I have been longing for Mongolia since I was a child. It's a good place!"
The middle-aged man took over the Chinese smoke thrown by Li Mu in the air with both hands. Excited, he immediately looked at Li Mu with great admiration. Anyway, he was also idle, so he took out the lighter and ignited it for Li Mu first.Li Mu is also very polite. When he sees the other side come to light his own cigarette, he protects the fire with both hands to show respect.
The impression of the middle-aged man on Li Mu was much better.
It's rare for a local boy who smokes China to be so polite to his peddler who is wandering around the country all year round.
So, he lit his cigarette and took a beautiful SIP: "we have picturesque scenery in Mongolia Province, and my brother must go to have a look if he has a chance."
Li Mu nodded and asked curiously, "elder brother, are you Mongolian?"
The man laughed and said, "yes, Mongolian people, my name is Bayan, blue flag people."
Li Mu nodded: "you should also be very hard in this kind of business!"
Bayan sighed, "who says no! I've been working for five years, and I've almost run all over China. "
Li Mu asked with a smile, "how many days have you been in Haizhou? What's the business like? "
"Not so!" Bayan shook his head discontentedly: "people here are too stingy, and they love to bargain. Those big brothers and sisters, big brothers and aunts, holding cashmere pants of fifty yuan each, still need to offer me five yuan..."
make complaints about Bayan's Tucao. Li Mu smiles. Haizhou's consumption power is not high enough. Besides, the clothes that are in it are not even up to price. Besides, Haizhou's winter is not very cold. Cashmere trousers are not necessary for everyone.
Then, Li Mu asked his concern: "this is the center of our city, isn't it expensive to rent such a store?"
"Not bad." Bayan dusted his ashes: "eighty yuan a day. I wanted to sell it here for a few days, but I didn't expect to sell real goods."
It's Li Mu's turn to be surprised. It's 80 yuan a day. When we have a look here, three shops are connected. It's estimated to be 150 or 60 yuan at least. It's just that they are very messy. It seems that they just demolished the previous decoration. Now there's nothing in them. Apart from a pile of hanging cashmere pants, there are two other floors, which should be sleeping by Bayan and his wife.
"The rent here is not cheap. 80 yuan a day is a bargain."
Bayan shook his head: "I thought it was a bargain at first. The sublease owner told me that he used to do cloth business here, but the landlord will raise the price this year, so he won't rent it. Just as he said that there was a cloth market opening, there was a lot of traffic there, so he moved there. There is more than a week left for the real landlord to close That's why he rented it to me for $80 a day. "
With that, Bayan said mysteriously, "it is said that only 5000 yuan a month ago here, the real landlord will rise to 7000 this year!"
This is the message Li Mu wants.
More than seven thousand yuan a month? I don't know whether it's true or not. If it's true, it's really great.
But think about it. After all, the business is still in its infancy. The market prospect is uncertain and the investment confidence is insufficient. Once the retail industry, especially the clothing business, starts to break out, the rent here will surely skyrocket.
Bayan felt that Li Mu seemed to be very interested in the shop, and he thought that he would take the initiative to hand over the cigarette cover, so he asked: "little brother, do you want to rent this shop?"
"Well." Li Mu did not cover up, nodded.
As soon as Bayan reached out his hand, he took off the words of "big sale" pasted on the wall beside him, revealing a printed A4 paper: the shop is for rent, 139*****
Li Mu immediately took out his mobile phone and wrote it down, threw the rest of the cigarettes to Bayan, and smiled: "brother Bayan, thank you."
Bayan didn't dare to accept it. Li Mu was far away when he wanted to go back.
He has no addiction to smoking in this life. Smoking is not an essential thing for him. Besides, it is harmful to his health. So if it's not necessary, it's better not to smoke or not.
