Chapter 48: Culture
“It’s not the milk tea shop on the pedestrian street that uses milk powder, but a kind of tea drink and a culture.”
After briefly introducing the differences between tea shops and today's milk tea shops, Zhou Anan felt a little regretful for fooling his high school classmates with his half-baked knowledge.
Knowing the fashion trends in a few years, but not being able to make a lot of money, what a shame
To say that he could start a tea company from scratch was almost impossible for Zhou Anan, who had no experience in this industry.
If you just want to open a tea shop, franchising is undoubtedly the fastest and easiest way. Anyway, he is not building a brand, he just wants to make some money quickly. If you want to join a franchise, you must naturally join the hottest brand, otherwise the profit cannot be guaranteed at all.
Unfortunately, he had searched online before and found that the tea that had become ridiculously popular in Jiangxi Province a few years later had not yet entered the mainland market, and he only found a handful of companies that had switched to making tea drinks.
Among those brands, Zhou Anan chose a brand called "Qinglan". It seems that after many years, it is still famous and has many locations in Jiang Province.
Before, Zhou Anan contacted the other party. The enthusiasm of the operator was unimaginable, and the price was very affordable, which was completely different from the high-end tea brands that appeared a few years later.
It doesn’t matter if we don’t reach a cooperation agreement, food, accommodation and transportation to and from Hangzhou are all included.
It was so fake that Zhou Anan almost thought the other party was a liar. After all, he also wanted to join Yi Dian Dian in his previous life, but the ones on the Internet were all fake scammers. After learning the truth, he missed the opportunity and gave up.
"Then I'll go to Xiasha, Hangzhou, to find a place tomorrow."
After listening to his friend's plan, Wang Rong's eyes brightened up. He found the direction of his life at once and couldn't wait to set off to implement it.
It was his first formal job in life, and it sounded so promising, how could Wang Rong not be excited.
"I'll find the place. You go to Pingjiang tomorrow to attend the training. The future operation will depend on you."
Zhou Anan was very satisfied with Wang Rong's execution ability and arranged a work direction for him.
When it comes to finding a store, Zhou Anan, who possesses the ability of prophecy, doesn't trust anyone at all. Wang Rong just needs to be the store manager.
If we follow the tea beverage franchise system that will be gradually improved in a few years, it will take at least three or four months from preparation to opening. However, the tea beverage industry is just emerging now, and many processes can be negotiated.
For example, before signing the contract and only paying a deposit of one thousand yuan, the other party arranged for Zhou Rong to go to an already opened store for training, and before finding a store, the decoration costs were determined at the maximum discount.
In short, as long as you join, everything can be negotiated.
"No problem. I'll talk to Boss Chen and resign tomorrow morning. I'll go to Hangzhou tomorrow."
"Well, this is for your training fee."
"Need not."
"Here."
After Zhou Anan's lecture, Wang Rong finally accepted the 1,000 yuan training fund.
After confirming a new investment, Zhou Anan was in a good mood. She chatted with Wang Rong until half past twelve, and finally went back to their rooms to rest.
The next morning, Zhou Anan sent Wang Rong on a long-distance bus to Suzhou.
Yes, although Qinglan Tea has an office in Hangzhou, it only has one newly opened store and cannot arrange for training. The milk tea shop that has been open for more than half a year and has a slightly mature mechanism is in its headquarters in Suzhou.
At noon, with her parents watching her, Zhou Anan boarded the bus to Lucheng.
When she arrived in Lucheng, Zhou Anan first put her luggage on the renovated fourth floor.
Since the area was large enough, after separating the classrooms on the first to third floors, Zhou Anan simply had the fourth floor divided into two large areas.
One part is the kitchen and dining room, which is about 50 square meters; another part is renovated into a large suite with two bedrooms and a living room. Most of them are simply paved with floors, and there are not many furniture except for the necessary beds and mobile wardrobes.
Of course, Zhou Anan had to pay for all these extra furniture herself.
Although there was no smell, Zhou Anan couldn't just move in. She had to wait for at least a month for the room to be ventilated.
As for the classrooms downstairs, there is no need to worry too much. All the desks and chairs are made of aluminum alloy. There is no gas pollution and they can resume normal operations in September.
The decoration company is quite efficient. Now only the first floor needs finishing touches, so it is almost finished.
Zhou Anan didn't stay in Lucheng for long before taking a bus to Hangzhou.
The location of the milk tea shop must be determined as soon as possible, because there will be less free time after school starts.
"Natsusa."
After getting off at Hangzhou South Station and changing trains, Zhou Anan arrived at Xiasha City, which was under construction.
Zhou Anan had come to Xiasha several times in her previous life for civil service exams and interviews, but she found that Xiasha at this moment did not seem to have much overlap with her.
Without much hesitation, Zhou Anan went straight to the Gaosha community outside the living area of Hangzhou University of Electronic Science and Technology. It is adjacent to the living areas of several university campuses and will be a gathering place for college students in the future.
Moreover, it is not far from Jiangxi University of Technology where Wang Rong studies.
Nowadays, there are hotels everywhere on Gaosha Road, and there are many snack shops. As the living quarters of various universities are put into use, the shops along the street have become popular.
But for Zhou Anan, the rent is not high.
Knowing the house prices after 2008 and 2009, Zhou Anan said she has no pressure at all considering the rent of this 15-square-meter shop is less than 20,000 yuan a year.
Unfortunately, his existing funds did not allow him to buy any shops, otherwise Zhou Anan really wanted to buy a few shops and wait for them to appreciate in value.
“That’s about it.”
Time was running out, so Zhou Anan didn't hesitate for too long and quickly chose a 25-square-meter street-facing shop with an annual rent of 25,000 yuan.
Since you are opening a store, you have to do it in a refined way.
There are always some seats in a milk tea shop, where customers can sit for a while, and where the boys and girls who treat customers can chat. Occasionally, some girls with good looks can sit here and enjoy the scenery, which can also attract popularity.
When signing the contract, Zhou Anan chose to pay the rent annually, and agreed with the property management that the annual rent increase should not exceed 5%, and the contract was for five years.
When renting a shop, you must find a landlord who has the property. If it is a separate landlord, it will definitely make people doubt their lives. In the previous life, Zhou Anan met a landlord who was really
After settling on the shop, Zhou Anan contacted the Qinglan office and asked them to send someone to take charge of the decoration.
Although the brand is still in its infancy and there is only one franchise store in the entire Hangzhou, "Qinglan" still has an office in Hangzhou.
An hour later, the person in charge of Qinglan Hangzhou found Zhou Anan.
She was wearing a smart black miniskirt suit, with average looks but a decent figure.
At first glance, Zhou Anan had a good impression of the person in charge of Qinglan Hangzhou Office.
"Mr. Zhou, you chose a great location."
Arriving in front of the store, looking at the university living area opposite and the middle school not far away, Zhang Chuchu sighed sincerely.
The most important thing is that the other party is so young and full of courage.
"It's just a coincidence, Manager Zhang. I'll trouble you to decorate this store in the future. I hope to open it as soon as possible."
Zhou Anan did not pay too much attention to this shop and would hand it over to Wang Rong in the future. The focus of his life is still in Lucheng.
Anyway, the person in charge of this office will provide one-stop service, and the legal person who will apply for the business license will naturally be Wang Rong. It is a bit difficult to deal with Zhou Anan, who is listed as a minor on the ID card.
"no problem."
Seeing the other party's trust in her, Zhang Chuchu was also very happy.
This is the second client she has taken over after coming to Hangzhou for more than half a year, so naturally she has to do her job well.
Only if the business in Hangzhou area is good will she, as the person in charge, get a bonus.
“It’s been a pleasure working with you.”
“It’s been a pleasure working with you.”
Simple and efficient, after Zhou Anan decided on a location for the store, she leisurely took a bus to downtown Hangzhou to enjoy the beautiful night view of West Lake.
At the beginning of a certain major government's administration in Jiangxi Province, West Lake was opened to the public free of charge. This brilliant move made West Lake surpass all the 5A-level scenic spots in the country and laid the foundation for Hangzhou to become a new first-tier city.
Now that West Lake has been open to the public for free for three years, countless tourists have been attracted. Zhou Anan sat on a bench, looked at the dense crowds on the Broken Bridge, and obediently returned to the hotel.
There aren’t many girls, which is bad for the eyes.
After taking the early morning bus back to Lucheng, Zhou Anan gathered a team of 15 people and started the first group training.
