Chapter 168 Got Beaten
"I don't need a loan. I think it's better to stabilize the current situation and then develop slowly. The most important thing now is to provide good service in each store and research new flavors. Every season, we must launch two to three new products to keep customers fresh."
Although he boasted at the party last time, Zhou Anan did not dare to expand the store too rashly.
Between Xinshicui and Yidiandian, Zhou Anan prefers the latter's management style.
You know, after a few years, as word of mouth gradually fermented, its status was definitely far superior to that of other milk tea shops.
A deposit of 200,000 yuan is required at the beginning of the application, and the franchisee must have an investment of 800,000 yuan. The store waiters must participate in training for more than three months, and each franchisee is only allowed to open two stores.
Such high standards naturally lead to a little bit of service and quality.
In his previous life, Zhou Anan had thought about opening one in Lizhou, but when he saw the huge initial investment, he decided to give up. Later, when he saw the franchisees who had tasted the sweetness, he felt a little regretful.
As far as Zhou Anan knows, Yidiandian, which only settled in Lizhou in early 2018, has an annual profit of at least over 400,000.
Even though the requirements for joining Yidiandian are high, countless investors are still flocking to it.
The rest of the milk tea shops that can be franchised at will have chaotic management, varying flavors, and naturally low profits. The only one that is worthy of praise is Xinshichu, whose prices are always affordable.
Only by staying steady, developing, and not recklessly can you have the last laugh.
Now, with Zhou Anan’s foundation, Qinglan has a good reputation among netizens.
Nowadays, those who have free time to surf the Internet are all children who can afford a little milk tea, and there are also many white-collar and gold-collar workers.
As long as you can maintain a good reputation, you will have a promising future.
"Okay, I won't advise you anymore."
Seeing the boy so determined, Yu Xian'er didn't say anything else.
She really wanted to see whether the boy’s planned future was good or not.
The bulk of her pocket money comes from Wangjia Group, and Qinglan Tea is just a small business, so the boy can do whatever he wants.
If it fails, it might not be a bad thing, because her elder brother's proposal can be shelved.
The white glove of the Yu family cannot be a loser.
"No one can predict the future, I hope the instant milk tea you sell in a year can circle the earth."
Raising his cup of coffee, Zhou Anan said with a smile.
After walking out of the coffee shop, Zhou Anan looked back and felt a little regretful.
Starbucks has not yet become widespread in Jiang Province. If you can join it, it will definitely be a profitable business. Unfortunately, they are all directly operated stores.
The Starbucks that opened in Lizhou in my previous life was so busy that my hands cramped from counting money.
The warming month of May passed quietly, and Zhou Anan's days were harmonious and fulfilling.
"Xia Suo, I'm in trouble."
Zhou Anan shook hands with the young man in front of him with an unchanged smile on his face.
After getting rid of her worry, Zhou Anan was in a very good mood.
"You're welcome. It's just a small favor."
As for the young man in front of him, Xia Chengjiang, who had met him several times, had long since abandoned his initial impression.
It is true that a man with ambition does not need age to be old.
Look, less than a year after opening, the other party’s training class is preparing to expand.
He directly rented a 2,000 square meter site owned by the Urban Construction Bureau, with an annual rent of 100,000 yuan. Even if he worked very hard, he would have to earn two or three years' salary, and he just spent the money like that.
The problem is that the other party is an 18-year-old freshman and it is impossible to reason with him.
"I have booked a table at the International Hotel. Chen Ke, Xia Suo, please give me some face."
"Of course, Chen Ke, let's not be polite today."
"Okay, let's make it clear first. I won't drink. I still have to work in the afternoon."
The middle-aged fat man who had sorted out the materials agreed without hesitation after hearing what Xia Chengjiang said.
Although Xia Chengjiang is only the chief of a small police station, everyone in Lucheng knows the big boss standing behind him, so he must be given some face.
What's more, he also wanted to make friends with this young and promising Brother Zhou.
Such a calm and wealthy young man might have powerful connections in his family, otherwise it wouldn't be worth it for Xia Chengjiang to run around in person.
"Come on, Lao Xia, have another drink."
When they got to the table, Section Chief Chen, who had never drunk before, was full of generosity and managed to get Xia Chengjiang, who came from a military background, drunk.
Zhou Anan, on the other hand, was quietly pouring wine without drinking a drop.
These days, if you can avoid drinking, then don’t drink. It’s not good for certain things.
While Zhou Anan was constantly struggling for his financial future, his male classmates were also playing games in Internet cafes.
"I'm taking the test, where's my phone?"
After playing games for a while, Chen Licong, who was a little hungry, was ready to eat something. However, when he touched his hand, he found that his mobile phone was gone.
A few seconds ago, he had seen the text message about overdue payment sent by 10086.
With a cry of surprise, Chen Licong turned around and saw a sneaky figure wearing a hat, who ran out after hearing his shout.
No need to ask, that's a thief.
"Catch the thief."
Chen Licong shouted, "I spent thousands of dollars to buy this phone." He jumped up from the sofa and chased after him without hesitation.
When the students sitting in the Internet cafe heard the shouting, they all stood up and ran over to help.
Although Chen Licong is only 1.6 meters tall and weighs 75 kilograms, he is willing to risk his life for the most expensive item on his body.
There are old alleys next to Huipu Internet Cafe. The thief fled flexibly, but he could not get rid of the fat figure, which made him regret his choice.
Who would have thought that a fat man could be so flexible.
"Thief, don't run."
Panting heavily, when passing the street intersection, Chen Licong shouted at the right time, hoping for others to help.
But it was noon, the weather was hot, and there were few people passing by. The few people who heard it ignored it and stayed away from it.
Everyone has the same idea: avoid trouble if possible because it is too dangerous.
Watching the thief gradually disappear at the street corner, Chen Licong, panting, gritted his teeth and sped up.
"Have you heard that Chen Licong's phone was stolen?"
"Yes, I was robbed in an Internet cafe."
"I also heard that Chen Licong was beaten up."
“Is this true or false?”
"Is it so dangerous?"
It was not until the evening that Zhou Anan learned about this from the girl who worked part-time.
I still remember that there was such an incident in my previous life. Chen Licong’s mobile phone was also stolen by a thief from an Internet cafe, and in the end nothing was recovered.
However, in this life, Zhou Anan actually heard that Chen Licong was beaten, which was a bit unexpected.
Fortunately, it was just a little swelling on my cheek and nothing serious.
Nowadays, thieves are so arrogant.
However, regarding this matter, Zhou Anan just shook her head secretly and did not intervene.
Besides, he had no ability to intervene.
The scenes where a student stands up for his classmates, confronts a group of thieves, and ends up being slightly injured, which causes his classmates to be loyal to him wholeheartedly, are all stupid plots that only appear in novels.
He is not an underground boss who commands the support of everyone, nor is he a powerful second-generation man who can make the whole city tremble with just a stomp of his feet. As a reborn person who grows up in a low-key manner, Zhou Anan puts his own safety first in everything he does.
If you need to borrow money to buy a cell phone or something, Zhou Anan can still help.
For the rest, thank you.
