Chapter 435: The Three Abuses of Shen Aojiao
Wang Yun’an: You’re throwing money at your buddies, right?
This senior student from the Polytechnic University was indeed a little dazed at the moment.
His milk tea business has grown to such a scale today that the figure of 50 million is not so scary to him.
After all, his current wealth and assets cannot be underestimated.
But the problem is that everything happened too suddenly.
Besides, he seemed to be taking it too lightly.
He couldn't figure it out: "Why is he so rich?"
He has read the news about Cheng Zhu. Isn't this junior a positive example of someone who started from scratch, just like me?
"He earned his first pot of gold during the summer vacation after graduating from high school, and then opened a popular claw machine store outside the school. He then sold the store and started making milk tea."
"Youcha is still in the money-burning period, how can he just casually take out 50 million?"
What you think is the first pot of gold: He earned enough to cover the initial investment in opening a claw machine store.
The actual first bucket of gold: Sorry, it’s really a big bucket of gold, the kind that can be sold by gram.
Senior, who do you think is sitting in front of you?
Is it a new star in the milk tea industry?
I won’t pretend anymore, I’m going to reveal my cards!
I am the QQ tycoon who has dominated the QQ world for a long time and makes the entire QQ world and the online porn community shudder at the mention of me!
It’s just half a small goal, just a little sprinkle of water.
“Junior, what are you doing?” Wang Yun’an didn’t fully understand what Cheng Zhu meant.
Did he see that my tea was in a declining stage and wanted to take advantage of it, or did he have some other purpose?
"Senior, if you want to transform Mingcha and start working on supply chain and cold chain logistics and develop new products for the 3.0 era of milk tea, but you are struggling with insufficient capital reserves, then I can make a statement. I have 50 million yuan that can be used to invest in Mingcha."
"Of course, if you want to continue with this model, then you definitely don't need my 50 million. Just pretend I didn't say anything."
"Senior, you can take your time to think about it."
"Come on, come on, eat some food!" Cheng Zhu picked up the chopsticks and said to Wang Yun'an and Ruan Di with a smile.
Wang Yun'an and Ruan Di looked at each other. Neither of them was impatient, so they didn't continue the conversation. However, they already had their own thoughts in their minds.
During the dinner, although Wang Yun'an knew that this matter still needed long-term consideration, when talking about milk tea, he couldn't help but talk about his plans for the future.
This is actually also hinting at Cheng Zhu, that he is ambitious and has his own courage, and he will not stand still.
He must also want to reassure this junior. After all, the investment of 50 million is just verbal talk now. What if he changes his mind later?
Moreover, if Cheng Zhu were allowed to invest in tea, he would be able to bring more than just money.
He can bring a lot more than just money!
There are so many benefits of invisibility that it makes people yearn for it just by thinking about it.
But the question is, will it really be more powerful in the end?
Or is it inviting a wolf into the house?
"When he first opened the store, he dared to put up the slogan 'Create a new force in Chinese beverages', which showed his ambition. The subsequent development of pomelo tea can further prove his means!" Wang Yun'an was also a little uneasy about this.
The main reason is that his understanding of Cheng Zhu is still limited.
In addition, he was still unclear about Cheng Zhu's ultimate goal.
In fact, even if we really want to cooperate, there are still many terms that need to be slowly polished.
Cheng Zhu’s ideas are simple and his plans for the future are also clear.
The purpose of investing in Mingcha is to capture the market of affordable milk tea.
He knows very well how terrible Mingcha will be in the era of milk tea 3.0. The number of its stores nationwide is about to exceed 10,000! It ranks second in the country!
As for cheap milk tea that is even cheaper than affordable milk tea, the first recommendation must be the world-famous "Snow King".
In the catering industry, its number of stores ranks fifth among all brands in the world!
However, now is not the right time.
The companies most affected by pomelo tea now are the competitors of these affordable milk teas.
After all, what does your 30 yuan cup of milk tea have to do with the 4 or 5 yuan cup I charge during activities like Snow King?
As long as my price is low enough and I sell it cheaply enough, your high-end internet celebrity products will not affect me!
Are you kidding? Only a fool would ask for strawberries and cherries in a cup of milk tea that costs only a few dollars like you do. Are you crazy?
High-end, affordable and cheap, these are the three markets.
There will definitely be overlap among the three markets, but Cheng Zhu has his own plans.
"Take advantage of the consumption upgrade in recent years to expand and strengthen the grapefruit tea industry."
"When consumption is downgraded in the future, my Yuzu Tea will be ready for transformation."
What's more, in his impression, Snow King was actually crazy about online marketing later on, and the marketing was done very well. Even the cartoon image of Snow King was deeply rooted in people's hearts.
They were all dressed in cartoon doll costumes, acting like street urchins, doing crazy things.
Either he was fighting or he was on his fucking way to a fight.
These videos are still popular!
In contrast, Snow King these days is honestly selling cheap milk tea and just opening stores crazily, but there is no earth-shattering textbook-level marketing.
At this moment, after finishing the meal, Wang Yun'an took Cheng Zhu to Mingcha's company and took him to visit the warehouse and other places.
This senior from the Polytechnic University still maintained his attitude of never keeping anything to himself, but he was obviously more serious when receiving Cheng Zhushi.
Are you kidding? Please show some respect to your sponsors!
After an afternoon of contact, Wang Yun'an was a little frightened by Cheng Zhu's aura.
He always told this senior explicitly or implicitly: Milk tea is just my side job.
At this stage, he is indeed telling the truth.
As a world-renowned QQ tycoon, his underwear is sold all over the world, even in Russia and among black people.
The European and American markets are even more dominant!
Nowadays, toys like the [headphone model] in QQ are becoming increasingly popular in foreign markets. However, this toy is currently only targeting the European and American markets.
Cheng Zhu can now make countless girls scream with excitement at home because of his creative products without leaving his house.
What does it mean to bring happiness to people?
This is what brings happiness to people.
Therefore, milk tea is of course his current side job. Do you understand the value of QQ Emperor?
——If Heaven had not given birth to Emperor Cheng, the world would be as dark as the night forever!
Although Wang Yun'an didn't know what Cheng's main business was, he gradually understood why he could casually take out 50 million in cash.
I thought it was amazing that he was able to achieve this level in making milk tea, but it turns out that this is just the tip of the iceberg of his business empire?
As a model of a self-made entrepreneur, Wang Yun'an is proud of himself.
When he sees some second-generation people who are also doing well in their careers, he feels that he is superior to them because they have more or less received help from their parents, and their starting point may be the end point that others will never be able to reach in their lifetime.
But isn’t this freshman a little too abnormal?
He even wondered: "Does he have any hidden identity?"
Could this really be a child from an ordinary family?
When everyone was sitting together to discuss, he wanted to hear what Cheng Zhu thought was wrong in his current plan. As a result, what he said really made him fall into deep thought.
——"Pertinent, correct, and to the point"!
If we talk about experience and knowledge, Cheng Zhu is definitely not as good as Wang Yun'an.
But if you talk about the future, then he, a reborn person, can really talk to you about it.
Wang Yun'an was a little impressed by the end.
He felt that the other person's mentality was really evil, and he was not worried at all that others would imitate him in making fresh fruit milk tea.
Instead, he came to give money and help Mingcha make fresh fruit milk tea!
“Is the situation really that big?”
So after Cheng Zhu left, he and Ruan Di discussed for a long time, but still couldn't figure him out.
"Yun'an, are you a little moved?" Ruan Di looked at him and asked.
Wang Yun'an nodded and did not deny it.
The two were high school classmates, and later started a tea business together. They are very familiar with each other.
Nowadays, traditional milk tea brands have not started to try making fruit tea because the investment is too huge.
But once it’s established, with the two hundred stores across the country as the foundation, it will be extremely terrifying!
This is a risky move.
The risk is high, but the reward is also great!
If it is not done properly, it will be more than just a serious injury.
It is impossible to recover every few years, and the upward momentum will be cut in half, so a brand is likely to decline!
"But he obviously cares more about the interests of his own Yuzu tea." Ruan Di said.
He spread his hands and said, "Just like when we asked him about pricing just now, he also said that if we make fruit tea, we don't need to use all fresh fruit, just a little bit of fruit pulp, and then add jam."
"Regular pricing should be controlled within 15 yuan, and some special models can be priced at more than 15 yuan, but definitely not higher than 18 yuan!"
"Isn't it obvious? It directly separates our grade from that of grapefruit tea."
"Can jam be the same as fresh fruit?"
Wang Yun'an spoke at this moment, which made Ruan Di stunned.
"That was my plan."
Ruan Di: “What?”
"What I mean is, even if Cheng Zhu hadn't appeared and interfered, and we had plenty of money in our pockets now, I would still choose this product model and this pricing," Wang Yun'an explained.
Ruan Di: "Are you not jealous of the current market for pomelo tea?"
He raised his voice slightly: "The trend in recent years is consumption upgrading. Young people are becoming more and more willing to spend money!"
Wang Yun'an waved his hand and said, "Don't forget our Mingcha's development strategy."
"I think this is good. The price is only slightly higher than the current price, and the product style is also different from these high-end milk teas."
"Besides, I don't even want to open stores in first-tier cities like Shanghai and Beijing. We should focus on third- and fourth-tier cities first and leave the first- and second-tier cities to them!"
In fact, Mingcha has always been like this - developing quietly.
In the era of milk tea 2.0, it is developing slowly.
Entering the internet celebrity era of milk tea 3.0, it is still developing slowly.
It grew and developed like this, and many years later, before we knew it, the number of franchise stores was almost reaching 10,000!
Then what?
Very good, let’s continue. Let’s survive and develop!
Fans and customers: Please, please come to Shanghai or other big cities to open a store!
Mingcha: No, no, no!
These first-tier cities are like dragon's den and tiger's lair, and they just refuse to open up franchise rights.
From the perspective of development strategy, the conflict between grapefruit tea and Ming tea is relatively small.
This is also one of the reasons why Wang Yun'an was attracted by Cheng Zhu's investment.
He felt that his thoughts were in sync with Cheng Zhu's!
Even when chatting, I have a feeling: This guy is a close friend, right?
——"Understand me, he understands me"!
From some perspectives, Cheng Zhu understands him better than Ruan Di.
Four o'clock in the afternoon, Hangzhou, Shen's house.
[A Shen Minglang] who just returned from a business trip is eating fruit at home.
He is different from Shen Qingning. Ningning inherited the best qualities of his parents, so he has long legs with impeccable proportions and exquisite and beautiful facial features.
Shen Minglang specifically picked out the flaws to inherit, giving his father the feeling that he clearly looks like me when you look closely, but why does it feel like he was pieced together?
However, there is one good thing about Master Shen, that is, he has the same cold white skin as his sister Shen Qingning.
It is said that a white complexion can hide a hundred flaws. With such fair skin, he does not look so ordinary.
But now Shen Minglang has really become several shades darker.
As we all know, cold white skin is not easy to tan, and it is easy to turn white again after tanning.
The fact that he is so evil now shows that his recent business trip is really tiring.
"Ningning, why do you think Cheng Zhu wants to go to Tai City to invest in tea?" He asked his sister while sitting in the living room, eating wax apples.
Shen Qingning sat on the mahogany sofa, glanced at him, and said, “Let’s make a strategic layout.”
"That's not necessary. Why don't we just create our own sub-brand and sell affordable products?" Shen Minglang said.
"It's not that easy to get a sub-brand, especially when the price gap is quite large. And affordable milk tea is actually more suitable for a franchise model, rather than a direct sales model like ours," said Shen Qingning.
Shen Minglang is much more mature now, and he can still understand this point. He nodded and said, "That's true. It is indeed not suitable for direct sales."
While the brother and sister were chatting, Shen Minglang was chewing wax apples, while Shen Qingning was distracted frequently.
All she was thinking about were just a few key words: Taiwan market, concert, meeting, breaking appointment.
Whether Cheng Zhu goes to Shanghai or Tai City, he has important things to do.
But he can arrange his own time.
Shen Qingning couldn't believe it was such a coincidence that everything was arranged on the day of the concert!
She was now almost certain that Cheng Zhu would go to the concert alone.
Therefore, she couldn't sleep last night.
At night, she couldn't help but open Weibo and started searching for various information about the concert in Taiwan.
She saw many concert photos and videos shared by netizens on Weibo.
The more Ningning watched, the more uncomfortable she felt, but the more uncomfortable she felt, the more she watched!
"The stage design is very beautiful," she thought.
"Did you also sing "The Clock Turns in the Other Way"? "
"So 'The Longest Movie' was also sung." She bit her lower lip slightly.
"What was it like for him to go to two concerts alone?"
"What on earth is going on in his mind?"
“What was his mood and mentality when he watched the concert?”
So much so that Shen Qingning completely lost sleep last night.
She tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep, and even when she did fall asleep her sleep was very shallow.
She had several dreams.
These dreams all seem to be related to concerts.
But after waking up, she couldn't remember many details.
But I feel a sense of loss in my heart.
She felt her heart was choked up, and her head was a little dizzy, and her temples were slightly swollen. She wondered if it was because she didn't get enough rest.
The most interesting thing is that her brother was still not dead and said at this moment: "By the way, Ningning, it seems that there was a Jay Chou concert in Tai City yesterday!"
Shen Aojiao raised her eyes and glanced at him, then began to play steadily, looking completely uninterested, and said perfunctorily, “Really?”
Just as he was about to continue speaking, Shen Qingning's phone rang.
The familiar exciting part is here.
"Hello, you have a cash on delivery package. Please sign for it. I'm at the door already." said the courier on the phone.
Outside the gate of Shen's house, the courier boy held the package in his hand and said, "Hello, your package is cash on delivery. Just scan this code."
Shen Qingning took the express delivery, and was a little absent-minded.
After Shen Minglang vaguely heard the voice, he jumped up from the mahogany sofa, came to the door in a few steps, and looked up and down at the courier boy with a scrutinizing look.
"Who sent it?" he asked sternly.
"Uh, sir, I don't know who the sender is." The courier boy was confused by his question.
No way, living in such a big villa, are you worried about the payable fee?
Sure enough, no wonder the rich get richer!
Shen Qingning was interrupted by him, but she was no longer in a daze. She picked up her phone and started scanning the code to pay.
"Thank you, I got it." The courier boy took the money and ran away, a little overwhelmed by the man's scrutiny.
After the door was closed, Shen Qingning walked back to the living room.
Shen Minglang followed her closely, his eyes never leaving the express delivery.
"Don't tell me there's a second ticket for Jay Chou's concert in there!" he said through gritted teeth.
He thought it was the second one because he was not at home when the last ticket came.
Shen Qingning turned her head and looked at him. She actually already had the answer in her mind. She knew that there must be tickets for the next concert inside.
The tsundere girl appeared calm on the surface, still cold and aloof. She pretended to be calm as she opened the package and took out the tickets.
"Of course, this bitch is good!" Shen Minglang started to curse like last time.
"Let me see, which station is this time?"
"Wow! Yangcheng, it's getting farther and farther away!"
"Ningning, who is this bitch? Is she from your school?" he asked viciously.
Damn it, he asked my sister to go out of town again!
Your abacus beads are about to fall on my face!
When you ask a girl out for a date, how can you not sleep with her?
"That's great! You're quite persistent!" Shen Minglang said.
Shen Qingning raised her eyes and glanced at him, but said nothing.
Young Master Shen was just asking casually. He knew his sister would definitely not tell him who it was because he had always been in trouble since he was a child and she was afraid that he would cause trouble for others.
However, he had no intention of leaving at this moment, but stood beside his sister with his arms folded across his chest.
He is waiting!
Waiting for my sister to show off her full aura and tear the ticket into pieces like last time!
Shen Minglang felt that Ningning was so cool when she killed the victim with such a cold face last time.
Come on, let’s recreate a classic!
However, he finally only heard Shen Qingning sigh, and then he took the ticket and prepared to go upstairs.
"Huh? No! Ningning, you're not going, are you?" He immediately chased after her.
“No, I’ll find a chance to return the ticket.” Shen Qingning said.
Of course, not now.
"Is this true?" Shen Minglang felt a little strange.
"You've seen the date, right? You can just come and see whether I'm at home or in Yangcheng at that time, right?" Ningning frowned and looked at him.
She is now very confused and is starting to get confused again.
I really don't have the mood to continue chatting with my brother.
"I will take care of my own affairs." After saying this, she went upstairs to her room alone.
Shen Minglang stayed in the living room and angrily threw the express box into the trash can.
"Damn you! You're willing to spend money!" he muttered.
He has seen too many men who are persistent in pursuing women.
It is said that a strong woman is afraid of being clingy with men, and there is some truth to this.
"It's a pity that you picked the wrong target." Shen Minglang sneered mercilessly.
Little did she know that after Shen Qingning returned to the room, she locked the ticket in the drawer, then lay on the table and buried her face completely in her arms.
This is the third ticket. This is the third ticket.
"Cheng Zhu, I really won't go." She buried her face tightly and spoke softly.
I want to go, but I can’t.
After a while, she got up from the table, opened the drawer, and looked at the three tickets stacked together.
She sighed again, put on her headphones, and started playing Jay Chou's songs randomly.
The first song is "Obviously".
The song echoed, and there was a line of lyrics that pierced Shen Qingning's heart, making her feel so tortured that she couldn't breathe.
This line of lyrics is so suitable for her current situation.
One is my best friend, one is me, and one is a boy I once liked and had a flirtation with, but now he is my best friend’s boyfriend.
The lyrics are:
"【No need to make a choice, I will automatically become your friend.】"
In Tai City, Cheng Zhu is driving.
"I wonder if Ningning received the ticket?" he thought.
As mentioned before, according to his plan, this third concert is the most important step.
The previous two times can be said to be preparations, and this operation is the most advanced.
It will become a turning point, giving the two of them the opportunity to actually go to a concert together later.
"Oh, after racking my brains to plan this out and laying the groundwork step by step, I really should order myself a song called "If This Isn't Love." Cheng Zhu thought.
To be honest, he really wanted to take Ning Bao to a concert to fulfill his promise.
What exactly did he plan this time?
He went to the concert in Shanghai and let her know that he had been to Shanghai.
He came to Tai City for the concert in Tai City and let her know that he was in Tai City.
This was enough to make her conclude that I went to the appointment alone, I went to two concerts alone, and there was an empty chair next to me.
The next concert will be in GZ City, also known as the City of Rams.
Then, the most exciting thing came.
"This time, I won't go to Yangcheng!"
"And I want her to know that I'm not going this time!"
(ps: Two-in-one with more than 6,000 words.
Please give me a monthly ticket! Keep the first place! ）
