As Chang Jing sipped her milk tea and listened to Li Qihao boast, she felt quite pleased.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck him. He glanced at the milk tea in his hand and realized a business opportunity!
Chang Jing thought that in this era when milk tea was just emerging, if he could seize the opportunity near the university and find a good location to open a milk tea shop, he would definitely make a fortune!
So Chang Jing ran out of the dormitory, found a corner, and dialed Scarface's number. Scarface answered quickly.
Upon hearing Chang Jing's voice, Scarface immediately greeted him warmly, "Brother Chang, is there something you need?"
Chang Jing smiled and said, "I have a great idea, and I'd like to collaborate with you!"
"What great idea? Tell me quickly!" Scarface's interest was immediately piqued.
Chang Jing said, "I just had a cup of milk tea and I thought it tasted great. There aren't many milk tea shops around the university right now. I was thinking of opening one. What do you think?"
"A bubble tea shop?" Scarface was taken aback. "Brother Chang, are you sure you want me to do this? How could someone like me, a former hoodlum, possibly run a bubble tea shop?"
Chang Jing laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of the business. You just need to manage the store's daily operations and train the staff. You're more familiar with trendy gadgets than I am, so you'll definitely make the store a great success!"
Scarface was still a little worried: "But I really don't know anything about this kind of work. What if I don't manage the shop well and suffer big losses?"
"No, first of all, the location of the store is very important. It must be in a place with high traffic and bustling commerce. As for the pricing of the goods, it should be set at a price that is acceptable to the general public, neither too high nor too low. Then there are the marketing methods. You need to know how to use social networks and word of mouth to promote the store. Finally, there is the store decoration and service. You must win the attention and reputation of customers."
Chang Jing explained, "Once you understand the general idea, I will guide you through the specific steps. I won't let you figure it out on your own!"
Hearing this, Scarface seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "Brother Chang, you're right. You're definitely better than me at business. Okay, with you leading the way, I'm relieved! This is a great idea. College students love this kind of trendy stuff. The milk tea shop is sure to be a huge hit!"
"Then it's settled!" Chang Jing said with a smile. "You go and take a walk around the area around the university right away, and find a few suitable shops for me to look at. We need to seize the opportunity and open for business as soon as possible!"
"Alright, Brother Chang! I'm heading to the university right now and will bring you a good location soon!" Scarface immediately hung up the phone and drove to Chang Jing's university.
Chang Jing smiled as he listened to the engine sound on the other end of the phone.
He believed that with Scarface's energy alone, the milk tea shop would definitely be a huge success!
Chang Jing believes that as long as he takes the lead in the business direction and Scarface is a good assistant in carrying out the operations, the milk tea shop's business will definitely become more and more prosperous!
Chang Jing returned to the dormitory and told Li Qihao and the others that he had to go out for a while and would be back soon.
Li Qihao looked bewildered and could only nod: "Okay, go ahead, take care of whatever needs to be done."
After leaving the house, Chang Jing immediately went to the location he had designated to meet Scarface.
After meeting Scarface, Chang Jing strolled around the vicinity of Sun Yat-sen University and received recommendations for several locations.
After comparing options, the two finally chose a prime location, just two blocks from the school gate, with high foot traffic, and a shop there was currently for sale.
Scarface immediately contacted the shop owner and quickly reached an agreement. With Chang Jing's financial assistance, the renovation and employee recruitment were quickly completed.
A whirlwind bubble tea shop plan was thus formed!
Chang Jing nodded, very satisfied with the result. At this moment, he also remembered his plan to have his cousin Xu Yumei open a clothing store in the surrounding area, so he called Xu Yumei again.
When Xu Yumei received the call and heard Chang Jing's voice, she immediately asked, "Chang Jing, what do you want?"
Chang Jing smiled and said, "Cousin, I mentioned to you that I wanted to open a clothing store near the university. How's the preparation going?"
Xu Yumei was taken aback. She really hadn't expected Chang Jing to bring this up suddenly, and hurriedly said, "Well... cousin, didn't you say you wanted to observe for a while before seeing how things went? I haven't made any preparations yet..."
"It was my oversight, but now there's a great opportunity. A shop in a prime commercial area near the university is up for sale. If we miss this chance, there's no going back."
Chang Jing hurriedly explained, "Cousin, can you come to the school to see me now? I want to talk to you about this in detail. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime business opportunity!"
Upon hearing the commotion, Xu Yumei became somewhat puzzled: "Cousin, why are you in such a hurry all of a sudden? Is this matter not so simple?"
Chang Jing smiled wryly. His cousin, being a seasoned businesswoman, had become more cautious, but that was a good thing.
Chang Jing could only confess honestly: "Actually, my friend and I were planning to open a milk tea shop in the commercial district. We found that the shop was in such good condition that we wanted my cousin to open a clothing store nearby as well, so that both shops could support each other's businesses."
"Open a milk tea shop?" Xu Yumei was taken aback. "Chang Jing, when did you become interested in opening a beverage shop? How come I had no idea?"
Chang Jing really didn't want to explain too much, so she could only say, "The actual situation is a bit complicated... Anyway, right now we can only seize the opportunity to open the shop, and I'll explain the rest to you later. Cousin, can you come to the school? I promise you won't be disappointed with this location!"
Although Xu Yumei was completely confused, she still trusted Chang Jing's decision, after all, he had always had a good eye for business.
She thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll head over now. We can discuss it in detail when I get there!"
