Rebirth 07 Becomes the First Internet Celebrity.

I chatted a lot with my brother, mostly about our respective work matters.

Jiang Xue mentioned that Yu Juan wanted to transfer her bun shop, which aroused Liu Qinglin's great interest.

"Traditional breakfast shops have low profits. What if we don't serve traditional breakfast and go for the mid-to-high-end boutique route like your milk tea shop?" Liu Qinglin put forward his idea.

As Liu Qinglin came to this idea, his thoughts began to expand. "We can still focus on steamed buns. I don't think steamed buns are worse than the hamburgers in many fast food restaurants. Those foreign fast food restaurants can open so many stores. I think traditional Chinese food should be able to do more than just breakfast, noodles, snacks, etc., covering three meals a day. This way, the turnover rate will be higher. We will also make more money." Liu Qinglin perfected his idea in his mind and told his sister about it.

"Then it has to be delicious, and strict standards must be set for each product sold to facilitate management and subsequent franchising or store opening and promotion. I think there should be a market for this, what do you think, Xiaoxue?"

Jiang Xue instantly thought of many internet celebrities or some famous chain stores in later generations.

Their business model and expansion speed, some stores are really doing well. They also developed well in later generations.

"There are many money-making projects. You must be very busy every day. Do you have time to do them?" Jiang Xue still put forward her own ideas.

"Lu Rang basically has less work to do here, so other people can take my place. My Taobao stores don't need my intervention too much at the moment, they can run on their own, and Chen Hua is helping me keep an eye on them. I can only attend classes and study at the same time, so I can still spare a lot of time. I just want to find something else to do recently. I'm going to study some of the store models on the market, and also contact Yu Juan. Her cooking is really delicious. If I want to do it, I think I still need to get her involved."

"Okay, you have limited energy so just go and study it. If you feel it's feasible, then do it. You are in Kyoto, so you should open stores around Kyoto in the future. The taste of the breakfast will definitely be different from the one Yu Juan made in S City before. You can consider making something more northern in flavor. You can also consider making some food with urban flavors, which will help with online publicity and promotion. In addition, regarding Yu Juan... you should pay attention to the sense of boundaries." Jiang Xue thought about Yu Juan and she still explained.

Yu Juan likes her brother, even though she says she doesn’t like him anymore, but if they continue to get along, there is no guarantee that she won’t have other thoughts about him.

If her brother doesn't pay attention to boundaries, Jiang Xue is worried that Yu Juan will get deeper and deeper into trouble and find it difficult to get out, or she may get hurt.

"I know. I know she may have had some feelings for me before, but I don't have any romantic feelings for Juan. I avoided her when I noticed some signs. She should have also noticed my thoughts. I have someone I like now. If we have contact in the future, I will be careful about the boundaries." Liu Qinglin told Jiang Xue about his thoughts about Yu Juan.

"That's good." Jiang Xue nodded in agreement.

"By the way, since you are planning to do it, you definitely don't plan to do it on a small scale. If you want to make it bigger and stronger, you will probably need to invest a lot of money. Sister, would you consider taking a share?"

"Just tell me if you need money. Your sister has plenty of savings, even though she doesn't have anything else."

"Okay, now that you've said that, I won't worry anymore. Then wait for my news."

After hanging up the phone, I was once again impressed by my brother's acumen for business.

It's just an idea, but he can immediately associate it with many things, and then actually understand it and take action.

This kind of activism is also rare and precious.

Although Jiang Xue didn't know much about the food industry, she believed that with her brother's ability and the current market economy, he would definitely be able to make money.

After Christmas comes New Year's Day.

The day before New Year's Day was a Saturday and there were no classes. Jiang Xue finished her work in the morning and met Xu Mo at the school gate in the afternoon. The two went on a date, watched a stage play, and had some delicious food.

After resting at home, I hugged my baby and slept for a while on the sofa. When I woke up, Jiang Xue was working on the computer. Xu Mo also brought a laptop and was browsing some information and typing away.

The two of them were busy with their own things. At ten o'clock, they stopped their work, dressed neatly, packed their belongings, and rushed to Tiananmen Square to participate in this year's New Year's Eve event.

Considering the large crowds, the two took a taxi, and then when they arrived at the outskirts, they found that there were so many people. Jiang Xue put her hands in Xu Mo's down jacket pockets, and the two followed the crowd to the center. There were so many people that they couldn't squeeze in until twelve o'clock. Someone organized a countdown, waving their mobile phone flashlights, and counting down with a group of strangers 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

"Happy New Year 2012." Many, many people shouted this blessing together.

The winter in Kyoto is very cold, but it can't stop everyone's enthusiasm.

When these words were shouted, everyone's hearts were filled with excitement.

The whole atmosphere became heated.

After the New Year's Eve at twelve o'clock, the two did not finish their activities and go home. Instead, they joined a group of people and prepared to stay up all night to attend the flag-raising ceremony in the morning.

There were a lot of people, the weather was cold, and the waiting was boring. Jiang Xue and Xu Mo chatted, took pictures of the crowd and heads with cameras, and took pictures of each other. Time still passed very slowly.

Someone organized the singing of the national anthem, and everyone actively cooperated. Then at around three o'clock, the security personnel began to prepare for security checks, and then we lined up.

After passing security check, they started the 100-meter sprint. Jiang Xue held Xu Mo's hand and ran very fast, choosing a position close to the front.

Although I was very tired and out of breath from running, I was sweating slightly in the middle of winter.

But seeing that my speed exceeds that of many people, I still feel very accomplished.

After running in, it was still a long time before the national flag was raised.

Jiang Xue was a little skeptical about whether it was worth doing this. It felt a bit silly and she might as well just sleep at home.

It was past five o'clock and she began to doze off as she could no longer hold on. Xu Mo let Jiang Xue lean on him.

Jiang Xue closed her eyes for a moment.

Can't really fall asleep, there are too many people around.

Xu Mo looked at Jiang Xue who was dazed and listless, and took out a thermos from his bag. The thermos was filled with still hot coffee, and they both drank it in small sips. After finishing the coffee, they felt more energetic.

"I thought you only brought warm water, why did you bring coffee as well?" Jiang Xue asked curiously.

"I brought it because I thought you might get sleepy. There's also warm water and another cup. Do you want to drink?"

"There are also snacks, do you want some?" Jiang Xue shook her head.

He didn't intend to take it, but asked Xu Mo: "Is it heavy to carry these things?"

"It's not heavy, it's okay." Although he said it was not heavy, Jiang Xue also increased the distance between them and stopped leaning on him to increase his weight.

Looking at the dense crowds of people and the sub-zero temperature around, Jiang Xue complained to Xu Mo in a low voice, "I kind of regret coming here to watch the flag-raising ceremony on New Year's Eve. Now I just want to go home and sleep."

"It's almost there. Just wait a little longer. It will definitely be worth the wait." Xu Mo replied.

After drinking coffee, Jiang Xue's whole mental state became much more energetic. Then the guard of honor began to rehearse. The sky began to slowly brighten, and they also saw the dawn of victory.

It was time to raise the flag. The guard of honor began to enter the venue in neat steps. The first five-star red flag of 2012 slowly rose, and tens of thousands of people sang the national anthem together. At this moment, all the sleepiness disappeared. In the cold wind, the nearly ten hours of waiting became meaningful.

As she sang, Jiang Xue choked up a little.

The dove of peace was released, and as a Chinese, I felt a sense of pride in growing up under the red flag.

"Do you still regret waiting so long?" Xu Mo asked.

Jiang Xue shook her head, "I don't regret it. It's worth waiting for so long."
