The richest man: I really don’t want to make money.

"Sorry, Mr. Chen has stipulated before that this coffee shop does not accept franchises, it is only a directly operated store."

Sudan's eyes were apologetic. Mr. Chen had told them about this direct operation when he signed the contract.

Not accepting franchises, only direct sales?

Lin Mei was a little puzzled when she heard this. Coffee shops or milk tea shops like this basically rely on franchise stores to expand.

After all, if you open a direct operation, you will need more funds, as well as manpower and energy to manage and operate.

But franchising is different. Not only can you earn franchise fees, but the investment is also much less, which is equivalent to reducing a lot of risks.

Some brands even make money by earning franchise fees from franchisees.

But she doesn't have to join this coffee shop. Since she doesn't accept the franchise, forget it.

"Okay, your coffee is good, but it's a bit far from my house, so I'm afraid I won't be able to drink it often."

Lin Mei sighed, feeling a little pity.

"Teacher Su, isn't Mr. Chen ready to open a branch? Where will the branch be located?"

Wu Yu spoke at the right time. Since Lin Mei thought it was far away, the branch might be closer.

"The location of the branch has not yet been decided, so we are not sure where it will be."

Hearing this, Sultan replied, smiling bitterly in his heart.

Among the conditions Mr. Chen gave her, one was difficult to fulfill.

Then look for stores that can be sold. If it is a store in an ordinary location, it will definitely be for sale. But for those stores near Starbucks, it is difficult to find anyone for sale. They are basically rented.

After all, Starbucks' locations are basically places with good traffic. Such places are very popular, and there is no shortage of stores that can't be rented out.

As long as he is a normal household head and there is no special emergency, he will not choose a location for sale at all.

After all, rental is a continuous income.

So these two days, they have been choosing an address.

Of course, Mr. Chen did not require that she buy it, but she had to make sure that she really couldn't buy it before she could choose to rent a store.

When Lin Mei heard Wu Dan's words, her eyes lit up and she turned to look at her companion beside her.

"Shuyun, don't you have many stores in your home? Choose one that suits you."

I, Mayu, am an old demolition household. During the demolition, I don’t know how many houses were allocated.

The reason why we can live such a prosperous life now is just by relying on a huge amount of demolition money and then collecting rent.

A real charterer.

"Well, do you have any requirements for the store? I can choose one for you."

The friend next to Lin Mei looked at Sudan. She did have several stores whose leases had expired, and the original tenants did not intend to renew the lease.

Upon hearing this, Wu Dan told Mr. Chen's request, but he didn't have high hopes.

"Well, I do have a store here that meets your location requirements, but I have no plans to sell it. If you want to rent it, I can rent it at a price that is 2% lower than the market price."

As a charterer,

This house is her foundation. If it is sold, it will undoubtedly destroy the foundation.

But this coffee shop is good and she likes to drink it.

The store that met the requirements happened to be two neighboring stores, not far from my home.

If the coffee shop chooses her store, she can open a clothing store next door, which will be much more convenient when she wants to drink.

So selling is not an option, but she can give a very low rental price.

Sudan was a little moved by the other party's words. It was lower than 2% of the market price, which would undoubtedly save a lot of money.

Nowadays, the coffee shop has never made a profit. It is also very good to be able to save Mr. Chen some money.

Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked at the other party.

"Can we leave your contact information? If I rent it, I will reply to you within the next two days."

If she really couldn't find a store that met the requirements and could still sell it, she would choose this store.

Exchange contact information,

Sudan briefly chatted for a few more words about coffee, then turned and left.

After all, Wu Yu was still discussing agency matters, so she couldn't disturb him too much.

After a while,

She saw Wu Yu take out the contract that he had prepared long ago, and knew that the agency matter was done.

"Sister Lin, thank you this time."

After signing the contract,

Wu Yu sent a few people to the door of the coffee shop, looked at Lin Mei and thanked them.

Being able to sign the contract so happily was entirely because Lin Mei was helping.

"It's okay if you want to thank me. Next time the coffee shop opens a branch, you can help arrange it. Just open one near my house."

Lin Mei chuckled.

"I try my best."

Wu Yu replied with a smile, but did not give a definite answer.

After all, he is an employee of the clothing factory and cannot interfere with the coffee shop at all. All he can do is talk to Teacher Su and the others.

Whether it can be adopted or not is beyond his control.

Inside the coffee shop,

When Wu Yu and others left, it returned to a deserted state again.

Song Xia held her chin with one hand and looked at the flow of people outside with a sad look on her face.

Today is Saturday, and the pedestrian street is much busier than usual, but there are still not many customers in the coffee shop.

It cannot be said that there are not many customers. There are still many customers who come in, but most of them are dissuaded by the high price of coffee.

Those who can stay are either out of curiosity or want to save face and are too embarrassed to leave.

But this kind of people are in the minority after all. The largest turnover today is still the five 188 contributed by Wu Yu.

what can we do about it?

"Sister Song Xia, how have you and Teacher Su considered my previous proposal?"

Zhou Mei came over and asked expectantly.

Ever since she proposed the maid cafe, Song Xia and Teacher Su had not given her a reply, which made her a little anxious.

Song Xia looked up at Zhou Mei, thinking of her previous proposal.

To be honest, she doesn't understand cosplay very well, but yesterday she checked the information and found that there are still a lot of this group, and there are also activities such as comic exhibitions.

But she checked domestic coffee shops and found no precedent for a maid coffee shop.

So she and Teacher Su have been hesitating and have not made a decision.

After thinking about it, he said.

"Your proposal is indeed very novel, but this kind of coffee shop has not yet been tested by the market, and we cannot make a decision easily. If there is really no other way, we will adopt this suggestion."

"Okay, I'm very optimistic about the maid coffee shop."

Zhou Mei said with confidence.

"Then do you have any specific plans and methods to attract customers after opening."

Song Xia looked at Zhou Mei, this was her biggest concern.
