Rebirth: Don't miss the good girls, don't waste the bad girls

Chapter 146 Meeting an old friend in a foreign land

Chen Wenjie talked to Lin Chuntao for a few more words, then took Lin Chuntao to a milk tea shop and introduced her to Xu Wenjing and others.

At this point, Xiyan Milk Tea Shop has added one more person.

However, this number of people is still not enough.

Because in the near future Yu Xiaoyu and Lin Chuntao will go to Donghai City with him, Zhao Shuyan and Song Kexin are going to college, and only Xu Wenjing and Sun Xiaoling will be left in the store.

Even if the activities on the pedestrian street are over, Xu Wenjing and Sun Xiaoling alone cannot run such a large milk tea shop, so the milk tea shop will have to recruit people, which is almost inevitable.

But there is no need to rush. We can recruit people in late August, train them for about ten days, and then have an internship for a month.

Abilities can be cultivated.

Although Xu Wenjing and others do not have a high level of education, they will have the opportunity to become managers of directly-operated stores, or even senior executives of the entire area, or become trainers of Xiyan milk tea shop, or engage in other industries related to milk tea and be responsible for a certain business of Xiyan milk tea shop.

So it’s a waste of their talents to keep them in a milk tea shop.

December 2014, 8.

Donghai City.

Chen Wenjie and Xu Wenhao came to the capital city of Donghai Province.

The two were not unfamiliar with this place. Sometimes, they would come here to have fun during the winter and summer vacations. After all, Longcheng City was too close to Donghai City.

But this time he obviously came with a mission.

"Brother Jie, your four-ring road is more fun to drive."

"Compared to your car, my car is nothing!"

This time, Xu Wenhao acted as the driver and drove Chen Wenjie's car to Donghai City. The two first found a hotel and booked two rooms, and then had a delicious meal at a seafood buffet restaurant in Donghai City that they had visited before.

After having a good meal and a few drinks, the two began to investigate the market, looking at the flow of people in various parts of Donghai City, and also looking for the target audience of Xiyan Milk Tea Shop.

Finally, the locations of four directly-operated stores and six franchise stores were determined.

Now ask him to come up with the money to open four direct stores and six franchise stores in one go. Sorry, he doesn't have it.

Even if he mortgaged all his and Xu Wenhao's cars, he still couldn't get the money out.

But the fact that he can’t get it out now doesn’t mean that he can’t get it out by the end of August or September.

His money was also coming in continuously, money making money, interest compounding interest. As long as he decided on a location to open a store, he would just find a real estate agent to take them around to look at shops.

The final selection of stores still needs further confirmation.

This was not a short project. Chen Wenjie and Xu Wenhao traveled around Donghai City for a week before they finally determined the addresses of the four direct-operated milk tea stores.

One is on the main street of the university town, one is in a street shop in the High-tech Park, one is on the pedestrian street in the city center, and the last one was placed by Chen Wenjie on a snack street in Donghai City.

As for Zhao Shuyan's six franchise stores, their locations have also been determined.

It is also the Donghai Snack Street, but it is far away from the direct-operated stores and is not as big as the others.

There are three more on streets near top colleges in university towns.

The remaining two are located on busy streets in the city center.

It is worth mentioning here that one of these six franchise stores is directly opened in a shop along the street on the first floor of the on-campus food city of Tunghai University.

In this way, whenever Zhao Shuyan wants to drink milk tea, she can go there anytime. These six shops are not too far from each other, and Chen Wenjie can help her take care of the shops in the snack street and the city center.

The milk tea shops in the three university towns are all very close to each other. She can visit them all by riding an electric scooter in less than an hour. The milk tea shop in Dongda University is especially so. It is near the teaching building and dormitory building of the School of Accountancy. She can see it every day when going to and from school.

However, to open these six franchise stores, cut down on all costs, and sell everything at cost price, it would cost at least three million. The money Zhao Shuyan gave him was still not enough.

But this is not a problem for him.

The money from Hongni Alley will soon be returned. By then, he will have at least another three million in his hands, and all problems will be solved.

"Donghai City is really prosperous. With such a large scale, we can open hundreds of Xiyan milk tea shops here and make a lot of money. Unfortunately, we have no money left."

"Besides, we are going to go the franchise route. The cost of opening our own store is too high and the cost recovery time is too long. It is not worth it at all."

"It's such a shame."

Chen Wenjie and Xu Wenhao were walking in the central district of Donghai City. He looked at the bustling streets and rows of office buildings around him and couldn't help but sigh.

"I'm so fucked!"

"Brother Jie, look, isn't that Jiang Xuening?"

Xu Wenhao suddenly saw a very familiar person, then pulled Chen Wenjie's sleeve and spoke.

Chen Wenjie followed Xu Wenhao's gaze and saw Jiang Xuening wearing a professional suit, holding some manuscript paper in her hand, walking on the road with her head down, looking a little depressed.

"what happened?"

"Have you hit a roadblock in finding a job?"

"Why are you so listless? This is not like the Jiang Xuening I know."

Chen Wenjie walked up to Jiang Xuening and spoke.

Jiang Xuening: “???”

"Chen Wenjie?"

"And that little fat guy!"

"What are you doing in the East China Sea?"

"You didn't come here just to see me, did you?"

"I've already said it, even if I starve to death or jump off here, I will never work for you!"

“It’s impossible to work part-time, not even in this life!”

Jiang Xuening looked at Chen Wenjie and Xu Wenhao with a little surprise, and spoke in a firm tone.

"Brother Jie, she is still so confident."

"But I told you, I'm not fat, I'm all muscle!"

Xu Wenhao said with a dark face.

"Hahaha."

"It was just a joke, but you little fat guy is still angry."

"We are old friends who have met in a foreign land. I am very happy today. Sister will treat you to a feast. What do you want to eat?"

Jiang Xuening said with a smile.

“Seafood buffet?”

Xu Wenhao said tentatively.

“Pizza steak?”

Chen Wenjie also spoke.

Jiang Xuening: “…”

I……

No, are you serious?

"Farewell!"

Jiang Xuening spoke very straightforwardly.

She came to Donghai City last month, intending to show off her talents here, but unexpectedly she encountered obstacles everywhere and had almost spent all her money.

If she treated Chen Wenjie and Xu Wenhao to a seafood buffet or pizza and steak, she would go bankrupt on the spot and might not even have enough money for the trip home.

"What are you doing? Come back!"

"I was just kidding you."

"Ah Hao and I came to Donghai this time to investigate the market and select a location for our milk tea shop branch."

"Now our milk tea shop is very successful and we have money, so today we treat you, order whatever you want!"

Chen Wenjie said with a smile.

"Really?"

"Then I won't be polite."

"Forget it, let's just follow the host's wishes. I'll eat whatever you guys eat."

Jiang Xuening was happy at first, and then spoke calmly.

"OK then."

"Let's arrange it."

"Let's talk in the car first. Our car is parked nearby!"
