Let's go back a few days.
Mr. Yuan and his wife, carrying large bags and bundles, boarded the train back to Stone City with their minds filled with thoughts of making money.
The two held the package tightly, afraid of damaging the raw materials and equipment.
The couple were filled with excitement at that moment!
They have the spirit of an entrepreneur and the determination to make a big splash.
At this moment, they were so emboldened by Li Quan's "persuasion" that their blood was boiling.
They gradually calmed down when they were halfway through their journey.
His wife pouted and asked, "Old Yuan, do you think this thing can make money? Aren't we being hasty?"
Mr. Yuan lowered his head, looked at the large and small bottles and jars in his bag, and said, "It seems we acted impulsively. We should have done some more research."
"Yes," the wife said with some heartache, "We should have let someone test the waters first, and then we would consider whether to franchise it based on the results."
Mr. Yuan sighed, "Those staff members, especially Boss Wu, were too eloquent. They made us lose face. We acted impulsively and carelessly!"
"What should we do then!" The wife suddenly lost confidence: "This money was scraped together from all sides. If we don't do a good job, we'll be in debt."
"Things have come to this point, let's just go all the way down this path," Mr. Yuan said.
His wife sighed, "This is the only way. Think about the employees in your company who went into business; almost none of them had a good ending, losing everything. This should serve as a warning, yet we've followed the same old path."
"Perhaps... we should have just a little bit of confidence."
Mr. Yuan continued, "No matter what, we've already paid the money and received the goods. If we give up halfway through before we even start, we'll suffer even greater losses."
“Renting a shop back home wouldn’t be a small expense either,” the wife said.
Mr. Yuan rubbed his nose: "If all else fails, let's sell our gold and silver jewelry and gamble it all! If we're going to die, let's go all out!"
His wife's shoulders slumped, and she remained silent.
After returning to Stone City.
The two placed the items inside the house and rummaged through drawers and cabinets looking for gold and silver jewelry.
After selling them on the street, they got more than 2,000 yuan.
The wife's heart was bleeding, and her eyes were filled with tears.
My child was doing his homework in the evening when he dropped a pen. Luckily, I didn't have to whip him.
Mr. Yuan told his wife not to be irritable.
Before even starting any business, they're already targeting their own family members—that kind of anxiety is definitely not good.
night.
A few neighbors came to visit.
Actually, they were all people who borrowed money from the couple.
When everyone entered the room, they saw large and small bottles and jars, but they didn't recognize them.
I don't know what it does.
But it seems like I've been scammed to spend 5,000 yuan on such a small item.
The crowd had a question and said:
"Old Yuan, what is this thing?"
"Powdered face?"
"What's this iron thing for?"
"Is this a plastic cup? It's too thin; won't it get scalded if you put tea in it?"
"Old Yuan, you didn't get scammed, did you? You only got this little bit of stuff for five thousand yuan?"
"Five thousand yuan can buy dozens of pigs!"
Old Yuan replied somewhat awkwardly, "What you're joining is a brand. Do you understand the value of a brand?"
"Pshaw! Can a brand feed you?"
"They've been scammed but refuse to admit it. They have as much face as they want."
"You've really screwed up in a ditch!"
"Old Yuan, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you work in an office, how could you be so easily fooled by such a clumsy trick and just hand over your money?"
"Five thousand yuan! That's enough to buy a whole room full of stuff!"
"Sigh, just pay it back slowly. We're neighbors, so we're too embarrassed to rush you. Be proactive."
The wife heard others say this.
This further solidified my belief that I had been scammed, even though the milk tea was delicious.
But that doesn't mean you can make money.
Americans can even send people to the moon, isn't that amazing?
They still lost everything, only managing to bring back a few broken stones.
With a loud "waaaah," the wife burst into tears.
Mr. Yuan reassured them, "Don't listen to them, just do it and see what happens. If you fail, then you can cry."
The next day.
With his remaining 2,000 yuan, Lao Yuan rented a small shop at the market entrance.
This store is small, only about 20 square meters, and it's rectangular.
Many small vendors look down on this place; it's difficult for two people to walk side by side, so it's impossible to sell goods here.
But this small shop happens to meet the demand for milk tea.
This is a drink that you don't need to go inside to buy; you can just wait outside, buy it, and go.
So, Lao Yuan simply paid to take over the small shop.
The store isn't expensive, only a little over nine hundred yuan a year.
They moved the equipment and raw materials inside.
They even hired an advertising company to create a plaque according to the headquarters' requirements.
The cost of this plaque pained Lao Yuan.
Up to 270 yuan!
My monthly salary at work is only a little over 200 yuan!
It breaks my heart!
Within two days, the store was cleaned up and the signboard was hung up.
Logically speaking, the opening of a new store should be celebrated with firecrackers.
But Lao Yuan and his wife did not do that.
They open quietly, and they die quietly.
To avoid becoming a laughing stock.
The first customer arrived quickly.
To the couple's surprise, it was their son who brought his classmates.
This student has absolutely no idea what milk tea is.
Old Yuan explained, "Celebrities from Hong Kong and Taiwan love to drink it!"
This was also the terminology that Wu Changfeng had taught him.
When your customers are a bit young, just tell them that celebrities love to drink it!
During this period, countless singers and movie stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan entered the mainland.
This sparked a craze for idol worship.
