Zhou Sui had no idea that all these things had happened in the store while she was away for just one day.
She is currently looking at houses with Zhou Peng.
After discussing it, the two decided that Zhou Peng would definitely move to the city; otherwise, if he kept traveling back and forth all day, how would he have time to do business?
Zhou Sui's idea was to open a shop directly, so that having a storefront would make things more formal. She couldn't rely on setting up a stall to make money indefinitely, as that would be too slow. Since they were already in the city, their target audience should be companies of all sizes.
Moreover, the storefront is the most suitable for Zhou Peng. If he finds a good storefront, he won't need to set up a stall; he can rely on the customers coming from the store.
In addition, Zhou Peng can stay at the shop instead of having to find a separate place to live.
Therefore, the location of this storefront is very important. Zhou Peng was not familiar with the city, so Zhou Sui led him through the streets and alleys. Looking at the towering buildings and the endless stream of cars in this big city, Zhou Peng was a little dazzled, but at the same time, he also had a faint sense of anticipation in his heart.
He's about to make his mark here.
After looking around, Zhou Sui marked a few locations: shopping malls, office buildings, and factories, all of which had high foot traffic.
Zhou Peng has now made his own judgment and has chosen the office building among those red dots.
"There are food options inside the mall, so people inside might not necessarily come out to buy food."
"Both of these factories are old factories. Most of the people working there are around the same age as my parents. They usually bring their own lunch, or even if the food at the factory isn't good, they'll eat there because it's cheap."
“I see that most of the people coming in and out of this office building are young people, and they often get off work very late. They seem to be in a hurry, so they probably don’t have much time to cook. This place is more suitable for them.”
Zhou Peng explained his thoughts word by word, then glanced at Zhou Sui. He wasn't sure if he was right and waited for Zhou Sui's reply.
Then Zhou Sui drew a big circle on the red dot, "Okay, this is it."
The speed was so fast that Zhou Peng was stunned. He asked uncertainly, "Do you think this place will work?"
"Big brother, as I said, you're in charge of most of the time when it comes to boxed lunches, and I'll just assist you from the side."
"And do you think what you just said is wrong?"
Zhou Peng didn't realize this at the time, but Zhou Sui urged them to leave, saying, "Let's go then. Let's try to secure the property today and open for business as soon as possible."
Zhou Peng was actually a little uneasy. He was afraid that he had made the wrong decision, but when he thought of his sister's words that he should make the decision himself, he could only suppress his anxiety.
Zhou Peng had made up his mind before coming to the city that he couldn't rely on his younger sister for everything.
Sure enough, from looking at houses to deciding on a place, Zhou Sui didn't say much and left everything to Zhou Peng, except for negotiating the rent.
Once the storefront is secured, Zhou Sui won't have to worry about the boxed lunches anymore.
The brother and sister found a restaurant nearby to eat, Zhou Sui said to him.
"Just tell me where you need the money."
This business is different from the one in town; it involves two people as partners.
Zhou Peng didn't have enough funds, so Zhou Sui took most of it, and then Zhang Cui gave her son some more. That's when they finally agreed to split the profits 50/50.
However, Zhou Peng believed that Zhou Sui should have contributed more money and therefore received the majority of the payment.
"Brother, you don't need to feel bad about it."
Seeing that he was preoccupied, Zhou Sui could only offer words of comfort.
“I still have a milk tea shop and a snack shop to keep busy, so I definitely can’t devote myself to boxed lunches like you do.”
"You'll be in charge of everything then. If there's anything you're unsure about, we can discuss it further."
In short, she just put in the money, then shrugged and didn't care about anything else.
This was Zhou Sui's first time doing business with a partner; she had always heard that partnerships between two people would eventually fall apart.
The biggest reason is that everyone has their own ideas. Both sides feel that since I paid for it, why shouldn't they listen to me? They think my ideas are right.
Repeated disagreements will wear down the feelings between the two parties, eventually leading to an unpleasant breakup.
Compared to that, Zhou Sui would rather live a life of leisure and counting money.
She's not some powerful businesswoman who dominates the business world. In her past life, she made a living by selling food at a street stall. In this life, she's still exploring and doesn't want to spread her mind too thin. She'll start doing things in multiple ways once she's more capable.
During their meal, the two went over the things they needed to do next.
Zhou Peng was already very skilled at purchasing these items, so Zhou Sui didn't need to worry about it at all.
It's about cooking.
"I'll handle this by myself first, and then we'll look at the daily sales figures."
"If there are too many people and I can't handle it all, I'll consider hiring a chef."
When we were in town, we specifically hired someone to help us cook. It didn't cost much because we were only busy with lunch.
But now that he doesn't know how business is going, Zhou Peng doesn't want to spend the money.
Seeing that he had a plan, Zhou Sui didn't say anything more.
"By the way, Suisui, when I came yesterday, Grandma told me that someone came to our village looking for you."
"I drove there, but when I asked why I was looking for you, you wouldn't say. When I asked who you were, you wouldn't say either."
"Grandma specifically asked me to ask if you know who it is?"
