Chapter 58
Chapter 58 The boom brought by animation (4) second
Luyou is the owner of a sporting goods store. In recent years, it has become harder to find a job, so after graduating from college, he asked someone to borrow money and opened such a store.
Originally, he still had the dream of paying off the money in half a year and earning hundreds of thousands a year. But then something happened that completely shattered his dream.
That was a sports equipment salesman who sold basketball to Lu You. His eloquence is very good, and basketball is also Lu You’s favorite sport in college, so although he knows that the market is not good, sales may not be good after he comes back. However, he still paid a lot of money and bought a batch of equipment.
As a result, who knows that the market for basketball equipment is small and scary. The batch of things that Lu Youjin returned, such as basketballs, wrist guards, basketball shoes, and jerseys, simply couldn’t sell.
In just two months, because of this batch of basketball equipment, I actually lost more than 100,000 yuan. For a person like him who has just graduated, hundreds of thousands are almost impossible to bear a huge debt.
There is no way, Lu You has already planned to close the store. According to this situation, it will only become more and more losses if he continues to operate.
Today is the last day of his business.
Lu You woke up early in the morning. Although he had decided to close the store, he still felt very reluctant because of his hard work for several months, so he came over to open the store early today.
One morning passed, and the business was still as flat as before. He didn’t come in at all, even if he came in, he would leave after seeing it twice, and he didn’t mean to buy it at all.
Originally, Lu You was expecting a miracle to happen, maybe his business suddenly took a turn for the better. Unfortunately, it seems that the miracle will not happen.
Thinking of this, Lu You weakly sat on the bench.
Da da!
There was a sound of footsteps outside, and some of the store doors that were picked up were pushed open. Lu You looked up and saw that it was a father and son. The father is in his thirties and his son is around twelve.
“I won’t buy it anyway, just ignore them.”
Lu You thought in his heart that in the past, he would welcome guests very enthusiastically, answering their questions throughout the process, but most of them were just looking at them.
The father and son today looked no different from the other guests, anyway, it was the last day, and Lu You didn’t bother to care about them.
However, the development of the matter surpassed his expectations. The father and son had been around for a long time, holding a lot of things in their hands and walking over, and they wanted to settle the bill with Lu You.
“You all want to buy these?”
Lu You asked incredulously, he looked at the things the father and son were going to buy. The jerseys, wrist guards, basketballs, basketball shoes, and almost all the equipment in his shop and basketball have been bought. This transaction is almost equal to the transaction of the past half month.
“Yes, what’s the problem?” The father said.
“No, no!” Lu You shook his head quickly. Although he didn’t know what happened, someone suddenly bought so many things, but what does it matter? It’s best to sell.
“How much is that?” The father was obviously a middle class, and he didn’t pay attention to this amount of money. After Lu You quoted the price, he didn’t hesitate, and immediately paid the bill.
“Dad, do you think I can be as good as the characters in “Slam Dunk” in the future?”
This is what the father and son said before they left.
Originally, Lu You thought that the father and son would be the only business today, but he didn’t expect another family to come back soon. The parents and the son three people. After the three came in, they also picked a lot of basketball equipment. For related things, let Lu You settle the bill.
During the whole day, more than a dozen family members came one after another. More or less, they bought basketball-related equipment and left. Lu You finally calculated it and made tens of thousands of yuan a day in profit today. Although it is not as good as the daily loss, it is already the best turnover for his shop.
“What’s the matter today?” Lu You looked at the bill and thought that he had planned to close the door, but how could something like this happen on the last day? He really couldn’t figure it out!
Suddenly, Lu You remembered something. It seems that every kid who comes to buy things has said about Slam Dunk, Rukawa Kaede, Xiandao, Sakuragi, etc. What are these?
Luyou has never liked manga and animation since he was a child, so he has no impression of the recent “Slam Dunk”.
With curiosity, he checked the Internet and found that “Slam Dunk” was originally a basketball anime, and it was also adapted into an animation. It seems to be quite popular recently.
Basketball comics can still be popular?
Lu You was stunned. Through recent sales, he knows how niche basketball is. Is it such a niche subject that is actually very popular?
For a moment, Lu You felt that the abnormal situation in his shop today was absolutely related to this basketball-themed comic. He made up his mind and went back to take a good look at this animation at night.
Early the next morning, Lu You opened his shop with a tired body. Last night, he watched the animation with the mentality of experimentation. Who knew that it was too late to deal with it. He kept watching late at night and watched all the updated episodes.
Lu You opened the store with a yawn, still thinking of the animation he watched last night.
is really wonderful, I don’t know how many years I haven’t seen such a wonderful animation. Lu You thought in his heart that although he is not a person who loves watching animation, he is still attracted and plans to finish “Slam Dunk”.
And through last night, he had a vague guess in his heart. Yesterday, my business suddenly improved. I’m afraid it is inseparable from this comic. Based on this, he plans to delay for a few more days to see how the business will go.
The development of the incident later confirmed Lu You’s idea that his business that day was better than the day before. He made more than ten thousand yuan at the checkout at night, and basically reached a balance of payments.
And everyone who came was talking about “Slam Dunk”. Lu You asked them why they should buy basketball. The answer was that he watched “Slam Dunk”, so he wanted to play basketball like the characters inside.
“Sure enough!” This answer confirmed Lu You’s thoughts.
Back home in the evening Watching “Slam Dunk” played on the computer, Lu You made another bold decision. Then borrow money to invest in his own store and buy a batch of “Slam Dunk” peripheral products.
This decision was very bold. Lu You had already lost more than 100,000 yuan, and then invested more money. If something went wrong, it would be hundreds of thousands. For Lu You now, it is by no means a small number.
But Lu You also has his own courage, “Slam Dunk” is indeed very exciting, according to his estimation, there is a trend to spread all over the country. Buying its peripherals now might make a fortune by taking advantage of the general trend of animation.
Just do it. Lu You borrowed money from a circle of friends the next day, all of which was used to buy the peripherals of “Slam Dunk”, such as jerseys, sweaters, wrist guards, basketball shoes, etc., and put his own sporting goods The store has become a theme store for “Slam Dunk”.
Since then, his business has quickly recovered with the popularity of animation, and in just one month, he has paid off all his debts. Within one year, I realized my desire to buy a car and a house.
It can be said that it was “Slam Dunk” that completely changed Lu You’s destiny. And there are many other sporting goods store owners like him who were rescued by “Slam Dunk”.
Later generations commented on the influence of Chen Ze’s “Slam Dunk”, saying that he changed the sports habits of the Chinese people and also changed the fate of a group of sporting goods store owners.
