Chapter 276 Mona Lisa Milk Tea
Shao Shufen was a woman of action. Once the contract was drafted, she quickly went to the capital to conduct preliminary research and preparation.
When Jiang Jiani and Lu Xiangyang arrived in the capital, Shao Shufen had not only rented a shop and obtained a business license, but also secured material suppliers.
The store is still under renovation; otherwise, it could open immediately.
Jiang Jianni gave her friend a thumbs up again: "Sister Shao, your initiative is truly remarkable."
Shao Shufen laughed loudly: "I want to make money. I get excited just thinking about making money. I can't wait for the store to open and we can start making money right away."
"Unfortunately, that's impossible."
"I've thought before, if only I could turn my ideas into something real and sell it."
"Alas, it's a pity that I can only think about it."
Jiang Jianni was both impressed and speechless: "Sis, this is the kind of idea you have."
"However, with the advancement of technology, it might actually be possible in the future."
She thought this girl could write science fiction novels.
Shao Shufen agreed: "Yes, we even have computers now, who knows what other gadgets will come in the future."
She is still amazed by computers: "You know, we're all human, so how did people come up with the idea of inventing computers?"
"Hey, I don't believe it. All I can do is make a pittance."
The most popular attractions at Crystal Palace are its five computers and ten game consoles.
If it weren't for Shao Shufen's insistence on keeping the machines running from 12 o'clock to 6 a.m. for fear of breaking them, these two machines could work for a full 24 hours a day.
Shao Shufen couldn't resist her curiosity and tried it out, only to be greatly disappointed.
It's all just games, nothing but games. I have absolutely no idea what's so fun about these games.
She felt that these people were all sick, spending so much money just to fight on machines and getting nothing in return.
She even complained to Jiang Jiani.
For a workaholic like me, it's completely incomprehensible how these people waste their money and time on playing.
Of course, despite not understanding, she still really enjoyed their outing.
After all, their going out to play means she's making money.
Shao Shufen was very capable; she found a shop on the busiest Erba Street.
Erba Street was the commercial center at that time.
Not only are there numerous shops and street vendors lining the streets, but there are also several large commercial centers that have been built in recent years.
The daily foot traffic can reach hundreds of thousands of people.
Of course, the rent is also quite substantial.
It's only 1993 now, and the rent for a 12-square-meter shop is already 3,000 a month.
Shao Shufen actually preferred to buy a shop, even if it was small and expensive.
Unfortunately, nobody's a fool.
Three thousand a month, that's thirty-six thousand a year—that's a golden goose.
Its value will only increase.
Unless absolutely necessary, no one wants to rent out their shop.
At the same time, she also rented a large shop of 200 square meters in a place on the outskirts of Erba Street, with a monthly rent of 8,000 yuan.
Small shops are used to open Mona Lisa milk tea shops, and large shops are used to open McDonald's Western fast food restaurants.
At some point in Pingyang City, fried chicken shops really did only sell fried chicken.
Crispy chicken drumsticks, crispy chicken cutlets, chicken strips, chicken fork bones, chicken nuggets, etc., are basically all things that Jiang Jiani eats frequently.
However, since they were planning to capitalize on the popularity of foreign restaurants, they intended to open a proper Western-style fast food restaurant.
Get them all: chicken cutlet burgers, chicken leg burgers, Mexican chicken wraps, various fried chicken nuggets, crispy chicken family buckets, fries, mashed potatoes, cola, and Sprite.
We also prepared sandwiches, both meat and vegetarian options: a meat sandwich with chicken cutlet and a vegetarian sandwich with fried egg.
The only problem is that Jiang Jianni and Lu Sitian need to urgently train a group of qualified chefs.
After eating at McDonald's, Shao Shufen came back to eat at her own restaurant and felt that her own restaurant was still better: "I don't know why, but I always feel that theirs is missing something."
Jiang Jianni thought to herself, "That's not true."
McDonald's today is not the McDonald's of twenty years from now.
Twenty years later, McDonald's, although still named McDonald's, has actually become a Chinese-style McDonald's.
But McDonald's is still a purebred McDonald's. It's just like McDonald's abroad, and it's still the same in China.
Those who have been abroad or seen the videos know about McDonald's overseas.
Moreover, they've only been in China for a short time, their business is booming, and they haven't had time to localize yet.
But the products Jiang Jianni brought out were all localized, which were obviously more suitable for the tastes of the Chinese people.
Jiang Jiani and Shao Shufen weren't so greedy with their pricing. They priced a classic combo of burger, fries, and cola five yuan cheaper than McDonald's.
The renovation team I used was Jiang Haibing.
Jiang Haibing never expected that while he was still thinking about how to open up the market, his sister would bring him a large amount of business.
Moreover, it was workwear that he had never worked with before.
But he had never done home decoration before. Since he wasn't afraid of home decoration before, he naturally wasn't afraid of commercial decoration now.
After two months of intensive renovations and preparations, Mona Lisa Milk Tea Shop officially opened for business.
On its opening day, the store also offered a 50% discount.
Milk tea originally priced at five yuan is 40% off for the first three days after opening.
Moreover, there is a wide variety of options to choose from.
Shao Shufen and Jiang Jiani didn't go into the store or act as shills at the entrance; instead, they watched nervously from across the street.
This was Shao Shufen's first time running a business selling afterimages, and even though she was confident in her milk tea, she was incredibly nervous: "Girl, do you think anyone will buy anything on our first day of opening?"
Jiang Jianni is starting her first business, and she's even more nervous than the other woman: "I think it'll work, right? I've already prepared several varieties. If it really doesn't work out, everyone can choose the cheaper one."
In order not to lose money, she desperately squeezed every last drop of her memory out of herself this time.
I wouldn't say all of them, but at least 30% of the Snow King was cosplayed.
Original milk tea, pearl milk tea, pudding milk tea, taro ball milk tea, double flavor milk tea, triple flavor milk tea, and honey lemonade.
Milk tea costs five yuan, and lemonade costs two yuan.
If it's 40% off, then the milk tea is 3 yuan and the lemonade is 1.2 yuan.
She cosplayed the Snow King, but not completely.
Snow King's prices are among the lowest in all beverage shops, but what about Mona Lisa?
That price is now considered a luxury item.
This made Jiang Jiani feel a pang of conscience.
So much so that she would always dream of the Snow King looking at her with resentment when she woke up in the middle of the night, and then she would be startled awake.
But there's nothing I can do.
Mona Lisa is positioned in the mid-to-high-end market.
Moreover, many things are difficult to transport nowadays, so although this price is a bit expensive, it is not unreasonable.
Suddenly, Shao Shufen excitedly grabbed Jiang Jiani's arm: "It's bought! Someone bought it! Look!"
"One, two, ah, there are so many, I can't count them all."
Did someone buy several cups?
"Wow, the people in the capital are really rich and generous."
Jiang Jianni: "..."
Seeing that everyone who came out had at least a glass of lemonade, my conscience suddenly didn't hurt so much.
