However.

As the shop renovation progressed rapidly, merchants from the three cities began to feel a growing sense of unease.

When these shops were first renovated, they mainly focused on the floors, walls, and kitchen.

It's clear they're in the food business, but they can't figure out exactly what they'll be doing.

I can only guess.

The project is nearing completion, and the merchants in the West Market have started moving food ingredients into their shops, which is when they noticed it.

They want to open a milk tea shop.

Alongside milk tea shops are barbecue skewer shops, oden shops, and braised pork offal shops.

There are also various trendy food shops, selling things like tofu pudding, plum juice, steamed buns, dumplings, noodles, and snacks.

In addition, there are various restaurants and teahouses.

—This was also brought in by Jiang Shuwan through investment promotion.

Originally, there were about thirty merchants from the West Market who worked for her, but some of them backed out, leaving only about twenty.

With these people, there's enough to make a whole mini milk tea street.

For a salted fish like him, if he doesn't want to do it, he doesn't have to.

If we're going to do something, we have to do something big.

Among these twenty-odd people, some run milk tea shops, some run barbecue skewer shops, and some run oden shops.

Some run both milk tea shops and barbecue skewer shops.

The number of shops that can be served by all of them combined is limited, and the variety of food is too limited.

Modern food streets often have hundreds of shops, with several streets crisscrossing each other.

Hundreds of different dishes to choose from.

Completely replicating a modern food street is difficult, but replicating half of it is always possible.

Putting aside everything else, teahouses, restaurants, noodle shops, and snack shops—they all need to be there.

The merchants in the West Market were still feeling uneasy about this.

After all, they see each other as food vendors, so they are competitors.

If customers go to teahouses and restaurants, why would they buy their milk tea and grilled skewers?

Jiang Shuwan immediately handed them a list of data.

There are hundreds of shops on Xishi Milk Tea Street, including not only the merchants who do business with her, but also other teahouses and restaurants.

Thanks to the explosive popularity of the milk tea street, these shops are doing much better business than before.

Their business with Jiang Shuwan's side is both a competitor and a complementary relationship.

Ultimately, only more choices can attract more customers.

Maybe they were just having a cup of tea, but then they noticed there were barbecue skewers nearby, so they decided to try a few.

To run a food street, you need to have a signature product to build a reputation.

A wide variety of food options is essential to keep customers coming back and help them stand out from the competition.

Having convinced the merchants in this way, Jiang Shuwan then asked Brother Nai to hold an investment promotion meeting within the West Market Chamber of Commerce.

She recruited other restaurant and teahouse owners to join her in expanding into three other cities to make money.

These business owners are all beneficiaries of the West Market Milk Tea Street, and some of them have full confidence in Jiang Shuwan and are following her lead with all their might.

Some people were cautious and watched from the sidelines.

Jiang Shuwan ignored the onlookers and invited anyone willing to do business with her in the other three cities to join her small circle.

Everyone bought a shop together, renovated it, and made a big splash.

This surprised the merchants from the other three cities.

"Competitors are enemies, and even within the same chamber of commerce, relationships are often strained."

"How come the merchants in the West Market are so united?"

Merchants from the three cities harbored deep suspicions.

They also began to worry.

They also realized that Jiang Shuwan wanted to replicate the success of Xishi Milk Tea Street.

Some shrewd businessmen were naturally extremely annoyed.

He secretly regretted not thinking of that.

I was also quite uneasy because they had recently opened a milk tea and barbecue shop.

These dishes don't require much skill; previously, they only had about 50% of the flavor from Jiang Shuwan's place.

With the improvement in taste, the flavor of their shop has reached 60-70%.

They were initially happy, thinking they could reach 70-80% by the end of the month.

At 70-80%, it's pretty much the same thing to the average customer.

Even if we can't match the taste and variety of Jiang Shuwan's place, we still won't be able to achieve the same level of quality.

But that's enough for them to carve out a slice of the market share.

Now, Jiang Shuwan is replicating the successful model of the milk tea street and has also introduced a variety of food items.

It has gathered almost all the food available on the market.

So when her food street opens, she'll make a killing.

The businessmen were extremely anxious and held several private meetings to discuss the matter.

They couldn't come up with any useful solutions.

Ultimately, to get them all working together to create a food street, someone needs to take the lead.

Although they have a president, the two vice presidents below them each have their own agendas, resulting in numerous factions.

It is quite difficult to get everyone to work together.

The West Market is different.

The merchants in the West Market unanimously approved Jiang Shuwan to take the lead and become the boss.

With united will, our hearts are intertwined and bound together as one.

Even those who were just watching and dared not follow up dared not say a bad word about Jiang Shuwan.

They stood together.

It would be difficult for the other three cities to achieve this.

What's more, it requires taking out so much silver.

Especially since Jiang Shuwan's food street is about to open, if they start now, they've already missed the opportunity.

The chances of winning are slim.

Of course, this would happen if Jiang Shuwan hadn't opened one in each of the four cities in the east, west, south, and north.

They could overcome all difficulties and try setting up a food street, after all, they have the financial resources.

Now that they've lost the initial advantage, they feel they might not be able to beat those who were the first to try something new.

Moreover, their chamber of commerce has no shortage of people who come to see Ai Snack Street.

"The popularity of Xishi Milk Tea Street is partly due to the freshness of the food, but ultimately it's more about their own unique heritage."

"They are local bigwigs in the West Market, so doing business there is a natural progression for them."

“But our East Market is not their West Market. We have been doing business for so many years.”

"It has both profound cultural heritage and a strong reputation."

"I don't believe that customers who have been buying food from my store for so many years would abandon me and choose them?"

"They're definitely going to lose money!"

The merchants in the East Market were very confident in themselves.

These kinds of statements are not uncommon in both the southern and northern parts of the city.

The three cities combined saw a continuous stream of people singing mournful songs, their numbers so great that they even got into arguments with others.

Thus, being a disorganized group, they naturally couldn't come up with any solutions.

They could only watch as Jiang Shuwan began the final tidying up and finishing up of the three streets.

They will open for business in three days.

All the arrangements for the three food streets have been almost completed, and they are just waiting for the opening day.

Jiang Shuwan also relaxed and sat in the courtyard to bask in the sun.

She's been incredibly busy lately.

As the head of the business, she not only had to keep track of the progress of buying and renovating shops along the entire street.

She also has to worry about her own new store.

She originally owned five shops: two on Zhuque Street and three in the West Market.

Now she is leading the development of three food streets, and she has directly taken over fifteen shops.

Including the original ones, he now has a total of twenty shops.

Milk tea shops make up half of the space.

She owns the most milk tea shops in the entire city of Beijing.

It is the No.1 giant in the current milk tea industry.

She spent a lot of money.
