The stars do not shine [entertainment circle]

A concert.

Qi Xing hadn't been there before, she wasn't interested in the concert at all, and was about to refuse, Jin Minwen sent a sentence in the next second: Just treat it as my sister's thanks for helping me get the signed album. BB's concert sister will be fascinated once she goes to it!

Jin Minwen is a part-time student who has been here since she opened the store. Even when she experienced certain things in the store, she has always been with Qi Xing. Although she came out to work part-time because of family reasons, she is a very affectionate child. Qi Xing She has always been very kind to the people around her, and she couldn't bear to refuse when the other party said that.

Qi Xing: I can get the ticket, you don't need to buy it, just go with you.

Kim Min Min: No sister!Tickets are only interesting if you have to grab them!Don't need my sister to help me!

Qi Xing:?

She and Jin Minmin are only a few years apart. Is there already a generation gap?She really can't understand this statement!

Let her go, Qi Xing sorted out today's performance and recorded it in a special notebook, and then habitually checked INS. During the dinner, she and Shengli not only closed each other's INS, but also left each other's contact information. Shengli, she has heard a word or two, and it is not a bad thing to make more friends, but with the attention of Shengli, her private Instagram has gained a lot of fans, and several people commented and asked what she and their brother are relation.

Of course Qi Xing would not reply.

------

Qi Xing's main business is the coffee shop she owns. Even if part-timers are hired in the shop, she doesn't need to go to work every day, but she still goes to visit it every day.

Unlike yesterday's high temperature, today's weather is gloomy and sultry, which is even more uncomfortable than the scorching sun.

When they arrived at the store, the two part-time students had just cleaned up the store. Seeing Qi Xing opened the door, Jin Minwen leaned forward and said, "Sister, I saw that Winnie's store also launched a product similar to ours. The dessert is the same as the new product! I just don’t know that the taste is different, but the appearance is exactly the same!”

Hearing this, Qi Xing took out his mobile phone and searched for Winnie's account and took a look: "It's really the same."

"Is she not creative?" Another part-time student Song Xiu said angrily, "Always like to steal other people's things?"

Qi Xing twitched the corners of his mouth, but didn't speak.

Just like big brands have high imitations, Winnie is her high imitation. The decoration style of the store is the same as hers, and the menu is also the same. Every time she releases a new product, she will definitely produce the same one. The taste is very different. Not to mention, the price is half cheaper than hers.

This also caused some people who like low configuration to often go to Winnie's store. The location of her store is not much worse than Qi Xing's, but the traffic flow is not small.

Although Qi Xing wanted to treat her as a benign competitor, Winnie really didn't have any strengths to draw on, and what she was best at was always getting something for nothing.

It's okay to get something for nothing, and I don't know what to think, copying her new product really doesn't move my mind at all, just copy the original.

At the beginning, Qi Xing still felt like a stick in his throat, but later he didn't care, a fake will always be a fake.

Affected by the weather, the store was brightly lit at eleven o'clock in the morning, and there were not even as many pedestrians and vehicles outside the large French windows as yesterday. It was a Saturday, but the business was quite deserted.

Qi Xing was sitting by the window, with a computer and a notebook in front of her. Jin Minwen brought her a glass of iced Americano, and she raised her head to say thank you.

The interface of the computer is a renting website, and she looks at the renting information of another district.

The store has been doing well in the past few years. She has long planned to open a branch store. Seoul says it is not too big, but it is not small. Although it costs a lot to open another store, but with the foundation of this store, at least it will not lose money .

According to the ideal location in my heart, I selected several shops that are being rented out and wrote them down in my notebook. It was already past twelve o'clock at noon, and the part-time students were taking turns eating lunch in the cubicle behind the bar. Do you want to eat? I'll help you order!"

"No need." Qi Xing put the computer into the bag: "I won't eat in the store, I have something to do, so I won't come in the afternoon, you look after the store."

Jin Minwen nodded, and Qi Xing poured the unfinished ice Americano into the pool, and washed the cup before leaving.

Driving straight to the commercial street in another district that he had chosen before, Qi Xing parked the car and strolled around casually, looked at the traffic in the vicinity, ate some lunch casually, and expanded the area to stroll around.

This place is in the most prosperous place in a certain district, and it is all commercial centers. Apart from a large shopping mall, there are many commercial buildings around it.

Of course, there are many coffee shops, especially near the shopping malls, there are at least four coffee shops.

Qi Xing sighed in his heart, the cafes here are all fast food, the price is low and the speed is fast, her shop here has no advantages in all aspects.

The weather was so sweltering, Qi Xing looked around with a sun umbrella, the underground passage to cross the road was far away, and there was no overpass, so she sighed and had to walk a long way with an umbrella before crossing the road to reach the densely packed commercial buildings here.

Fortunately, I was wearing canvas shoes today.

Qi Xing thought as he walked, otherwise his feet would hurt to death.

There are also many shops on the front of the commercial building, but there is only one chain of coffee shops. Qi Xing took out his tablet computer and searched, and only then did he know that the prices of the fronts that come with the commercial building are not low. No wonder there are very few of them. open here.

Feeling low, Qi Xing went back to the parking lot to drive, and went to several places to look around. After recording everything in a notebook and sorting it out, she drove home.

Back home, Qi's father hadn't left work yet, Qi's mother and the aunt at home were busy in the kitchen, Qi Xing wanted to help, but Qi's mother drove him back to the living room.

When Qi's mother was dragged down by a scumbag when she was young, she had a hard time for a long time. It was not until she met Qi's father that she opened her heart again and embraced the future.

When he was young, Qi Xing didn't understand, but when he grew up, he realized that the mother and daughter should be most grateful to Father Qi.

That's why she insisted on giving Father Qi a dividend every year.

When Qi's father came back, Qi Xing told Qi's father about his day's results. Qi's father and her thought differently, and proposed a new idea: "Why don't you find a store near the residential area?"

"The community?" Qi Xing said, "The community is not easy to open, is it?"

“The positioning of your store is more high-end than fast coffee. If you go to a shopping mall or a commercial building, there are very few people who can sit quietly and enjoy a cup of coffee and dessert. Even if you are discussing cooperation, you will not go to the coffee shop. .”

Father Qi said patiently: "The community is different. You can find a good store in a mid-to-high-end community according to the positioning of your store. The initial investment is a little bit more, which means that the return on capital is slower, and your store has its own characteristics. , if you promote it, there will be customers, but in terms of competition, you still have an advantage over coffee shops of the same type."

After hearing Father Qi's words, Qi Xing thought for a while: "What about the approximate geographical location?"

"How is our community?" Qi's father picked up chopsticks of broccoli for Qi's mother: "Our community is very large, and the people who live there are either rich or expensive."

Qi Xing had a flash of inspiration: "It seems that there are no coffee shops and dessert shops in our community!"

Father Qi raised his hand and patted her on the head lovingly: "The community is very new. Although there are supporting facilities, but because the rent is too high, the community currently only has one supermarket. If you invest more, the return may be slower or less. But it’s okay to operate well and make a profit. And I got news that our government is planning to develop this area, and the rent in the future will definitely be higher than it is now.”

Qi Xing nodded, and the family had dinner together. Qi Xing took a stroll around the community before driving. There are many people living in this community, and many artists live in the same community. The side of the commercial center is connected to the community. In the semi-open area, there is only one large supermarket inside, and no other stores have settled in so far. The plan to open a coffee shop is very feasible.

Father Qi is more experienced than her, so it is right to listen to him.

Thinking this way, Qi Xing directly contacted the manager when he bought the house the next day, asking if the shop was rented out and about the rent.

The manager did the calculations for her. If it is rented, it will cost more for one year, and for ten years. It is obviously more cost-effective to buy, and it can also be used as an investment, with more space to use.

Qi Xing didn't speak for a while, investing in a store was still very stressful for her, and she didn't want to rely on her family, so after telling the manager to consider it, Qi Xing drove to the store in Cheongdam-dong.

When we arrived, Jin Xi was already waiting for her. There were many customers in the store. Jin Minwen and the other two were very busy. Qi Xing sat opposite Jin Xi and took the three signed albums she handed over: "Thank you! Let's have lunch together next time?"

"I have a place I want to go." Jin Xi took out his mobile phone: "It's a very popular restaurant with a good environment. I originally wanted to go with my boyfriend, but later I felt that friends are the most important thing!"

Qi Xing laughed: "Then do I still have to say thank you?"

The two laughed, and when they left, the store was still busy, so Qi Xing took the album away and went to have lunch with Jin Xi.

The two talked about her plan to open a new store, and Jin Xi said, "You rent it first, and then buy it when you have enough money?"

After Qi Xing thought about it, he felt that it was also a solution, so he nodded and chatted with Jin Xi about something else.

"I'm not talking about you, how long has it been since you fell in love?" Jin Xi said with a look of disgust, "Every day is work, work, and you are not afraid of becoming a saint?"

"I don't want to fall in love." Qi Xing supported his chin with one hand: "Work is so interesting, falling in love is too troublesome."

"Let me tell you, there are so many excellent people around you, you pick one, the love in college is different from now, you don't have to resist so much."

In terms of resistance, Qi Xing has it. Feelings are not a necessity for her, but they are optional. The reason why she doesn't want to fall in love is because there is no one who makes her interested.

"By the way, did you know that Liang Shengxi came back from abroad?"

Qi Xing didn't remember for a moment: "Who?"

"Just your ex-boyfriend, forgot? You've been dating him for three months, right?"

"He. If you just say Liang Yingdi, I will know who he is?"

Jin Xi also smiled: "That's right, that's right, at that time we nicknamed him the actor, and he acted well."

Qi Xing followed suit with a laugh. She had forgotten the reason for breaking up at the beginning, and she didn't have any special memories of being together. Everyone said that her first love boyfriend was the most memorable, and she became the one who was the easiest to forget.

After we had lunch together and went shopping, Qi Xing drove back to the store. Although there were still many customers in the store, at least the two part-time students could rest for a while. Qi Xing gave the two albums to They, Jin Minwen exclaimed uncontrollably: "Thank you, sister!" She read it over and over again several times: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! autographed by GD!"

"By the way, sister." Jin Minwen moved closer to her with the album: "I grabbed two concert tickets, and it was the best seat! Fortunately, I was quick! The time is the third of next month, my sister and I will go together! "

Hearing this, Qi Xing took out his mobile phone: "How much is the fare? I'll transfer it to you."

"Sister, if you don't need it, just treat it as me asking you to see it."

Qi Xing disagreed: "Your money is very useful, what do you want me to do? How much?"

Jin Minwen knew what kind of character she was, so she didn't say anything more when she heard the words, and said a number, and Qi Xing directly transferred the money for the two tickets.
