"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
"Are you two trying to work me to death? Your stamina is so bad!"
Chen Luo looked at the two of them, panting. Liu Hua lowered her head in embarrassment, while Hong Ye looked at Chen Luo apologetically.
"Young Master Luo, I'm sorry, I will definitely strengthen my training to increase my physical strength and endurance."
Hmm? This conversation seems a bit off! What are you talking about?!
"Wow, this guy has a huge appetite. Two people can't keep up with his stamina?"
"Honey, why don't you ask someone for tips and how they train? You haven't been doing so well lately."
"Hey handsome, wanna add me in? Three people should be enough for you, right?"
Huh? Why are all the couples around me hugging and cuddling? What are they saying as they point at me?
Chen Luo sensed something was wrong behind him. He turned around and saw a pink sign with two English words that looked so out of place.
"Ah! How did I end up here with them! No wonder they said those things!"
"We need to get in quickly! Ah, no, not in here, we need to get into the mall!"
Chen Luo didn't dare linger and quickly grabbed the two women, fleeing in panic.
"Wow, these young people really know how to have fun. Is this going to be another example of a reverse-situation?"
"Going to the mall for a second round? You're in such good health, youth is truly wonderful."
"Is it that exciting? Let's try it, honey, let's go."
...
Feng Hua Milk Tea Shop, on the second floor of the shopping mall.
"Alright, gentlemen, can we get down to business now? This whole journey has been so awkward!"
Chen Luo covered his face speechlessly, unable to imagine what kind of rumors would circulate about him on the school's online forum.
Please, I'm just in love! I only have Wen Wan in my heart, how did I end up being called a scumbag!
Liu Hua lowered her head, her lips slightly parted, though she belatedly realized that others had misunderstood that she had booked a room with Chen Luo. She was still secretly delighted.
Hehe, hehe, some people misunderstood that Brother Luo and I are boyfriend and girlfriend, hehe, I'm so happy.
Hongye wasn't embarrassed at all. After all, she had followed Wenwan through many years in the business world, so she had the mental fortitude to handle it.
At this moment, Chen Luo's gaze fell on two shops opposite the milk tea shop that had signs saying "Prime Location for Rent".
Hongye noticed Chen Luo's gaze and realized that he was looking for a target shop in this small shopping mall. He scanned the shops across the street, taking into account factors such as their location and size.
As a gentle and refined advisor and secretary, having someone handle the task of selecting shop locations was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
"Young Master Luo, I suggest choosing the first shop."
"This one is located in the middle of the main passage of the mall, so the foot traffic is relatively good. There are not many beverage shops next to it, so the competition is less."
"The second one is the opposite. It's located at the very back of the mall, in a bad location. There are two coffee shops right next to it, so the competition is fierce."
After listening to Hongye's analysis, Chen Luo nodded and then began to analyze the key points of the two shops. The two of them looked like they were having a serious discussion.
Because of her years of experience as Wen Wan's advisor and secretary, Hongye instinctively moved closer to Chen Luo, the person she was discussing matters with, and the two were now very close.
Such actions would be interpreted differently by Liu Hua.
You old woman! You still say you don't have any improper thoughts about Brother Luo, and you even use work as an excuse to get close to my Brother Luo!
You touched him! You touched his shoulder!
Brother Luo's shoulders are very strong, and his muscles are very firm. They feel so good to touch!
That old woman must have noticed that Brother Luo has a good physique, and that's why she took the opportunity to grope him!
You're just lusting after my brother Luo's body, you're despicable!
No! I can't let this old woman take advantage of Brother Luo. I have to do something.
Oh, right, weren't you going to open a 2D-themed milk tea shop?
That's right! I'm Brother Luo's official partner! Shouldn't you discuss things like site selection with me first?
"Ahem! Brother Luo, come here and take a look at this blueprint before choosing a shop."
Liu Hua, who was sitting opposite Chen Luo, waved to him and then took out the blueprints from her backpack.
Chen Luo saw the blueprints without suspicion and walked over. As soon as he sat down opposite her, Liu Hua took the blueprints and pointed to the shop at the end of the line.
"Brother Luo, according to what Hongye's assistant said, this is how a regular milk tea shop works, but you've overlooked our milk tea shop's target audience."
Hearing this, Hongye was completely confused. What was this little girl saying? Aren't all milk tea shops targeted at the same audience?
Hmph! You old woman, it's obvious you're from a different generation than us! Do you even understand anime? You clueless old woman.
"Liu Hua, continue." Chen Luo's eyes became serious, and the aura he had cultivated in the business world in his previous life unconsciously revealed itself.
In terms of temperament, he suddenly transformed from a sunny and naive student into a calm and mature businessman, a subtle change that made Liu Hua somewhat uncomfortable.
Meanwhile, Hongye sighed inwardly: No wonder he is the man that President Wen has taken a liking to. He has such an aura at such a young age, and he is no less than those old foxes who have been in the business world for many years.
According to current information, Chen Luo has never run a business on his own or received any professional training or education to this day.
What is this? A business genius.
"What are you daydreaming about? Liuhua, tell me."
"Oh, okay." Liu Hua suddenly realized what was happening and began to talk about the audience of anime and manga.
Liu Hua, from the perspective of the anime and manga community, proposed three points of attraction for the target audience.
First of all, anime-themed milk tea shops are not afraid of bad locations or competition. They are unique in that they have a distinctive theme and their appeal lies in the fact that they can change the anime theme every month, which gives them a unique competitive advantage.
Secondly, these anime and manga enthusiasts are characterized by the fact that most of them are homebodies, and a significant portion of them are afraid of social interaction or of having their hobbies exposed to the public eye.
Therefore, this corner location gives them a certain sense of security.
Finally, the shop is located at the end of the mall, with an open space in front of it that has nothing to do with other products, which will make it convenient to hold small anime conventions and attract customers regularly.
After listening to Liu Hua's words, Hong Ye nodded secretly. This little girl really understood the psychology of the anime and manga fandom and knew how to make the most of all available space in the shop.
Chen Luo really made the right choice in choosing this girl as a partner. In terms of her unique perspective on the catering industry with anime theme, which allows her to capture the target audience and resource entry points, she is at least better than him.
As expected, the people who understand anime and manga best are the veteran anime and manga fans.
It seems that this anime-themed milk tea shop has the potential to succeed.
If an expert like Hongye can draw such a conclusion, then this matter is probably quite close to the truth.
"Okay, I agree. I'll call the subletting company right away."
Once the initial plan is finalized, it should be implemented immediately—a good habit Chen Luo developed in his previous life.
After making a phone call and arranging to discuss the subletting at the same milk tea shop that evening, Chen Luo had finally taken the first step.
"Young Master Luo, I know Mr. Wen, the owner behind this shopping mall. I have his contact information on my phone. Do you want to talk to him?"
Those who could be included in Hongye's mobile phone contacts were all people that Wenwan deliberately cultivated, and at least top ten business tycoons in Hangzhou.
"No need. This is such a simple matter. There's no need to use Wenwan's connections. I can handle it myself. Come on, let's go over every detail."
The three began discussing all the details, while the manager of the milk tea shop went to a corner and made a phone call.
“Young Master Liu Feng, there’s a student named Chen Luo who wants to rent the shop at the end of the mall to open a milk tea shop. Is he the one you told us to keep a close eye on? Are you planning to bankrupt them? Now there’s a good opportunity.”
