On the first day of opening, they sold more than 600 bottles, with a turnover of more than 3,100 yuan.

The next day, more than 500 bottles were sold, and the turnover was more than 2,700.

And yesterday, it broke through the three thousand mark again.

This turnover truly shocked Wang Qian.

You should know that this store has always been very successful, but on its best day, the turnover was only a little over two thousand yuan.

Most of the time, it's only a few hundred yuan.

But the shop on Jinghao Street, which had only been open for three days, saw sales reach 3,000 in two of those days.

Even on the least busy day, there were still more than 2,700.

The business is so booming, it's like they've planted a money tree there.

"Xiao Chao, it seems we can speed up the expansion of our branches."

Wang Qian was full of confidence, his face brimming with anticipation.

However, Lin Chao chuckled dryly and said, "Brother-in-law, things might not go as smoothly as you imagine."

"How so?" Wang Qian was taken aback.

“While you were in Linjiang City, I opened more than one branch.”

Where else?

"I also opened that shop on Southwest Street right after that."

"And then?" Wang Qian pressed.

Actually, Lin Chao hadn't even answered yet, but he had already roughly guessed it.

Only report good news, never bad!

Since two branches have been opened, Lin Chao only showed him the turnover of the store on Jinghao Street. It's no surprise that the business of the store on Southwest Street must be less than satisfactory.

Lin Chao had taken him to see that shop before.

The location is remote and there is little foot traffic.

They rented it for two main reasons.

First, the rent is cheap, only a little over one hundred yuan a year.

Secondly, at that time, the Liu family was imitating their roasted green pepper sauce and had rented out many shops around them, forming a siege against them.

In an attempt to break through the impasse, he once sent Lin Chao to search for shops everywhere, hoping to divert the Liu family's attention.

The shop on Southwest Street was rented at that time.

Later, the Liu family was sued by him, the counterfeiting was declared over, and their unique business was finally free from vicious competition.

However, Lin Chao felt that the rent there was cheap and the place was already renovated, so it only needed a few minor modifications to open for business, which was very convenient.

"Brother-in-law, you must have guessed it already, right?"

Lin Chao looked somewhat timid and stammered, "The business at that shop is indeed really bad."

"How bad is it?" Wang Qian pressed.

In his mind, since a brand effect had been established, the impact should not be significant no matter where the store is located.

"We only sell a few bottles a day, and yesterday we only sold one bottle."

"That bad?"

Wang Qian was immediately somewhat depressed.

However, he did not blame Lin Chao, but patiently asked, "Then why do you think there is such a big difference in business between the two newly opened branches?"

"I'm completely baffled!"

Lin Chao shook his head. "I've studied it before, but I can't figure out the specific reason."

"I see..."

Wang Qian pondered for a moment and asked, "Who is in charge of guarding those branches on Jinghao Street and Southwest Street?"

"These are some temporary shop assistants I hired."

Without thinking, Lin Chao replied, "They're both women, one is twenty-one and the other is twenty-four. They're not bad looking either."

Seeing Zhou Yuanyuan's sharp gaze, Lin Chao quickly straightened his expression. "What I mean is that they all have relevant professional experience and their business skills are quite good. The salary I pay them is also one of the higher ones in Nanming County, 150 yuan per month."

"Then why don't you stay at those two branches?"

As he asked this question, Wang Qian glanced at Zhou Yuanyuan beside him, seemingly unintentionally.

Logically speaking, the newly opened store was one that Lin Chao went through a lot of trouble to finally open, yet Lin Chao wasn't there tending to the shop, instead always staying in this old store.

Are you really that reluctant to part ways with Zhou Yuanyuan?

"Brother-in-law, it's not what you think!"

Seeing the meaning in Wang Qian's eyes, Lin Chao blushed and said with a fierce but weak tone, "I was just wandering around those two branches before. Yesterday, I just happened to be here and ran into you coming back from Linjiang City."

"I didn't have time to go to those two branches today because I was waiting for you."

Fearing that Wang Qian wouldn't believe him, Lin Chao also said to Zhou Yuanyuan, "Yuanyuan, do you think that's the case?"

"No explanation needed!"

Wang Qian waved his hand, "Xiao Chao, I'm sorry to have troubled you!"

He would not question Lin Chao's attitude towards doing things.

Even if there are occasional instances of slacking off, it shouldn't be too excessive.

Moreover, Lin Chao and Zhou Yuanyuan are in the throes of a passionate relationship, so it's understandable that they want to spend every day together.

"Brother-in-law, I've also investigated, but I still can't find the specific reason."

Next, Lin Chao gave a general account of how he opened his shop.

After listening, Wang Qian was puzzled.

Before the opening, Lin Chao did a great job of promoting both branches.

In order to attract as many onlookers as possible, Lin Chao added some activities when printing the flyers.

Just like when this store opened last time, there was a prize-winning mechanism.

In addition, Lin Chao also added other elements to attract customers.

For example, if someone buys a bottle of roasted green pepper sauce at either of these two branches and then takes the label from inside the cap, they can get a dollar off when they buy a second bottle.

No matter how hard Lin Chao tried, the business at the Southwest Street branch remained dismal.

It's not even in the same league as that shop on Jinghao Street.

"I'll go and see what the problem is myself."
