Madam Lu, who was reading a book, did not object to Jiang Yue's idea when she heard it, but she was worried that Jiang Yue might be too tired from doing so many things.

"How big of a milk tea shop do you want to open, Yueyue?" Mrs. Lu asked. "I have a few houses in good locations, some even near the university gate, which you can use directly."

"Isn't this too tiring for you?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue took Madam Lu's hand and said with a smile, "Mom, I don't need to go myself. I just need to say a few words, and Cheng Wei can handle the rest. Besides, you're here to help me."

I plan to manage the workshop from now on, and you can manage the shop for me. Is that alright?

"Of course, that's no problem, but Mom has never run a business before, so I don't know if I can help you with it?"

Madam Lu would definitely be willing to help Jiang Yue. If possible, she would like to do everything Jiang Yue wants to do.

That way, Yueyue can rest at home every day.

"It's okay if you don't know how, I can teach you."

Jiang Yue wasn't afraid of trouble, and she believed that Madam Lu would definitely learn quickly.

The workshop was also Mrs. Lu's house, located not far from the Lu family villa, which was very convenient.

Jiang Yue asked Lu Yan to help her find workers, and she asked Cheng Wei to buy the machines. If they couldn't be bought, she asked Shen Huaiyuan to help her buy them.

When Shen Huaiyuan learned that Jiang Yue was going to start a milk tea business, he immediately said, "Yueyue, you can't forget your little uncle when you make money. I have to invest in this."

Jiang Yue smiled helplessly, "Uncle, don't worry, you will definitely have a share in my business."

Shen Huaiyuan, on the other end of the phone, laughed instantly upon hearing those words.

He knew that his wife, Yueyue, absolutely favored him, her uncle.

After Jiang Yue hung up the phone, Lu Yan couldn't help but lean over and whisper to Jiang Yue, "Sister-in-law, can I also invest?"

"you?"

Jiang Yue glanced at him. "Didn't you invest all your money in film and television companies?"

"Still have money to invest?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan smiled.

“I don’t have money, but my mom does. She not only has money, but also owns a lot of shops. Aren’t you going to open a milk tea shop?”

I'll talk to her and ask her to bring me a few shops, then I'll give you the money to invest. That way, there shouldn't be any problem with me becoming a shareholder, right?"

Kyoto is so big, if bubble tea sells well, it would definitely be good to open more bubble tea shops.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yue said to Lu Yan, "If that's the case, there's no problem if you want to invest, but not now. You have to wait until my first milk tea shop opens and see how the business is."

If business is good, we'll definitely open more stores.

If business is bad, then close down quickly and don't waste the time.

"No problem, I'll wait for you, sister-in-law." Lu Yan believed that as long as Jiang Yue was optimistic about a business, it would definitely make a lot of money.

Jiang Yue smiled, ignored him, and turned to attend to the workshop's affairs.

As for the shops, Jiang Yue selected two storefronts near the school from Madam Lu's house, intending to test the waters first.

As for the renovation, Mrs. Lu helped her find a contractor. She handed over the drawings she had made to the contractor, and left the rest to Mrs. Lu to oversee.

The same thing happened at the workshop, and then Cheng Wei was asked to watch over the workshop for her.

This made things much easier for Jiang Yue. As for recruiting workers, Jiang Yue simply handed that job over to Lu Yan.

All she had to do each day was check on the progress of both sides.

The shop renovation was completed very quickly, in just half a month.

Jiang Yue's decorating style is similar to that of current milk tea shops. Considering that there are no plastic cups yet and glass cups are too expensive, Jiang Yue directly asked Shen Huaiyuan to find bamboo from the south to make cups.

She also made various flavors of milk tea, and she even added fruit juice.

However, there aren't many fruits available in winter, so Jiang Yue can only make orange juice, tangerine juice, and apple juice.

She also asked Shen Huaiyuan to find her some pomelos and lemons.

Twenty days later, Jiang Yue's milk tea shop opened first.

The clean and modern decor, along with the uniforms of the staff and the milk tea photos on the posters at the entrance, attracted many people as soon as it opened.

College students, in particular, are quick to embrace new things. When they see milk tea for the first time, they can't help but want to buy a cup to try.

And the price isn't expensive either.

There were more customers queuing on the first day than Jiang Yue had expected.

Madam Lu and Lu Yan stood beside Jiang Yue, looking at the long queue at the milk tea shop not far away, and smiled happily.

Lu Yan said, "I have never seen a store with such good business before. Sister-in-law, you are really amazing."

Mrs. Lu nodded in agreement, "Yueyue, it seems our milk tea shop will definitely do exceptionally well."

They had never run a shop before and didn't know these things. They assumed that if there were many customers on the first day, there would be just as many customers every day thereafter.

Jiang Yue smiled and explained to them, "The reason there were so many customers on the first day is because many people had never seen milk tea before, and we also had a promotion. They thought it was cheap and novel, so most people bought a cup to try it."

Once this peak season is over, the number of customers at the milk tea shop will return to a stable level. Only then can we determine whether our milk tea is profitable or not.

The store opened a few days ago, and it was basically losing money to gain publicity. It would be good if it could even break even.

"I never imagined there was so much to learn about opening a shop?"

Madam Lu truly admired Jiang Yue more and more.

She used to be a doctor, but her health deteriorated, so she resigned early and settled down to be a stay-at-home wife. She owns many properties, which she mainly uses for rent collection and has never run a business.

Lu Yan was even more of a jack-of-all-trades; the company was only able to start thanks to his family's help, so he knew even less about these things.

However, he was very clear about one thing: following Jiang Yue would definitely not be a loss.

Jiang Yue didn't know what she was thinking. After the two milk tea shops opened, she went back to working on the milk tea workshop.

The milk tea workshop is almost ready. Jiang Yue's registered trademark and all the necessary permits have been approved. The milk source for making milk tea has been found, all the remaining ingredients have been delivered, and the workers have been recruited.

Once the last packaging machine arrives in a couple of days, production can begin.

Jiang Yue specifically asked Lu Yan to find him a sales talent.

These past two days, she made some milk tea separately and asked the other party to take it to major supermarkets in Kyoto for promotion.

During this period, Jiangyue Milk Tea Shop's milk tea has become famous in Kyoto, so when they went to promote their milk tea powder, it was very popular with many supermarkets, and they had already signed a lot of orders before production even started.

Two months later, Jiang Yue's milk tea workshop also resumed normal production.

There were only five or six days left until the Chinese New Year.
