“The place where deep affection couldn’t reach had long been entered by someone driving a Maybach.”
After realizing he was just a backup option, Xia Tian hardened his heart and stopped believ...
Chapter 460 Ye Ningyu "cheated" with the cake shop
On the way back to Bei'an, because Fang Yu and Lu Xi were officially together, the atmosphere in the car was no longer like when they first came to Hanzhong.
In fact, Lu Xi didn't feel embarrassed at all because of Xia Tian and Ye Ningyu's presence.
She discussed with Fang Yu frankly where to go tomorrow after going back home to rest for a day.
Apparently, this was their first official date.
After returning to Bei'an, Xia Tian planned to drive Fang Yu and Lu Xi back first, but on the way he saw the pirated copy of "Yi Ye Chu Xia" that he saw when he came back from Sichuan and Chongqing last time.
The most important thing.
This pirated copy of "One Leaf Early Summer" has now been fully renovated and is now in business.
When Xia Tian saw the decoration, he was stunned.
Because this is not an imitation at all, but a complete copy of Ye Ningyu's "A Leaf in Early Summer".
The name, store decoration style, and event style have not changed at all!
"This is too damn arrogant. They're directly accusing my cake shop of plagiarism?"
Xia Tian muttered to himself, parked the car in front of the pirated cake shop, unbuckled his seat belt, and planned to argue with the owner of the shop first.
However, he got off the car so quickly that he didn't hear Ye Ningyu and Lu Xi calling him from the car.
Xia Tian knew that the style of "Yi Ye Chu Xia" was very good, especially some of the desserts. In the beginning, he used his leading experience in his previous life to recommend Xiao Ye and Lu Xi to make them.
It is natural that we can retain a lot of customers.
Therefore, it is also normal for others to become jealous and copy it.
But the owner of this cake shop is really too arrogant. Not only did he not change the name, he even copied the decoration style and activities.
Just as Xia Tian was about to push open the door and go in, Ye Ningyu and Lu Xi finally caught up with him from the car.
Ye Ningyu grabbed Xia Tian's arm: "Xiaotian, this... this is not a pirated store."
"What do you mean? Look, the names are exactly the same, isn't it pirated? If he had just changed the name, we would have turned a blind eye."
Xia Tian hadn't yet realized what Xiao Ye wanted to say, and his expression was very angry.
At this time, Luxi "Ee, Ee, Ee" laughed and then said:
"Xia Tian, is it possible that this store is a branch opened by Ning Baobao and me, so the name is exactly the same?"
"Huh? A branch?!"
Hearing this, Xia Tian was stunned.
Only then did he realize that he might have really misunderstood.
If you think about it carefully, every part of this store is exactly the same as Xiaoye's "One Leaf in Early Summer". If it is not a branch, even if competitors want to take advantage of the popularity and copy it, it is impossible for them to copy every part.
"Yes... This is the first branch that Xiaolu and I agreed to open. The second one is still under renovation."
Ye Ningyu also told the truth. She pursed her lips and continued, "I was planning to tell you in the evening."
"How many things have you two done behind my back? Is the cake shop profitable enough to open two branches so quickly?"
Xia Tian was stunned.
That's right. Before this, he had never thought that without his interference, Ye Ningyu and Lu Xi would be able to run the business on their own and open two branches in just a few months.
Xia Tian's original idea was just to prevent Xiao Ye from having to work part-time outside, so he opened a cake shop for her.
I didn't expect that Ye Ningyu and Lu Xi could achieve this without me putting in too much effort.
Looking at Xia Tian's surprised expression, Lu Xi smiled triumphantly.
She hugged Ye Ningyu's arm and said, "Ning baby, I told you, when Xia Tian finds out that we opened a branch on our own, he will definitely be shocked!"
After saying that, Lu Xi looked at Xia Tian again and said, “Xia Tian, although you really dote on Ning Baby, you really underestimate her in this aspect.
Did you know? Every time you are busy with work, Baby Ning doesn't just sit there doing nothing and wait for you to come to her. While you are busy with work, Ning Baby is also working hard to learn relevant knowledge. This is all the result of our two of us figuring it out and discussing it bit by bit. ”
Lu Xi scratched his head again in embarrassment and laughed, "Well, actually most of them are from Ning Baobao. I just followed the plan she gave me and came to negotiate the rent with the store owner."
Xia Tian looked at Ye Ningyu with a hint of heartache in his eyes.
Although Lu Xi saw many things very clearly, she was really wrong this time.
Xia Tian never underestimated Ye Ningyu. He always knew that this silly girl was very powerful.
She managed to score close to 750 points in three mock exams in high school. This level of IQ is always very strong.
But Xia Tian felt very distressed. Ye Ningyu could have done nothing and just quietly prepared for her postgraduate entrance examination.
But this silly guy still makes time every day to learn how to run a cake shop.
But Xia Tian is still a little curious. No matter how good the theoretical knowledge is, it takes time to put it into practice.
Even if Xia Tian planned it himself, he might not be able to open two branches of the cake shop in such a short time.
After all, cakes and milk tea are different. Some people need to drink milk tea every day, and Chayu's business model imitates the "third space" of "Starbucks".
Under this model, even some people who do not drink milk tea often will occasionally buy a cup of milk tea for this "third space" and sit in the store to do some simple work and date.
But there are almost no people who need to eat cake every day, and because of traffic reasons, the "third space" model does not work in cake shops.
Therefore, from the very beginning, the ceiling of a cake shop is destined to be lower than that of a milk tea shop.
so......
What method did Ye Ningyu use to make so much money in such a short time?
You know, during the Chinese New Year, Ye Ningyu gave him more than 100,000 yuan!
Xia Tian looked at Ye Ningyu and asked, "I'm curious, how did you make so much money in such a short period of time that you were able to open a branch?"
“Ah… Actually, there is no special method used. We just collect funds in advance through the membership card activity.
Cakes are relatively expensive, costing several hundred yuan. If you can get a discount, you can save dozens of yuan at one time, so people are willing to recharge their membership cards at cake shops.
Well...the next thing is that 'Yi Ye Chu Xia' is still supplying cakes to Cha Yu. In fact, this is the main source of income. ”
After a pause, Ye Ningyu blushed and said, "Then, I, I also found some other coffee shops and supplied cakes to them. Because of your experience with Tea Language, they are more willing to try this additional supply and sales model."
When Xia Tian heard this, all the doubts in his heart were completely dispelled.
Good fellow...
It turns out that Ye Ningyu was the one who "cheated" with the cake shop!
