Chapter 34: The Little Shop Next Door

Liu Yun stayed with his father for a while, looking at the workers who were working, and suddenly thought that the name of this Internet café had not been chosen yet. But what it was called, he didn't have a thought for a while. After all, this is the first stop of entrepreneurship in the past and present life, and you need to think carefully about choosing a name.

Dad Liu seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked, "Son, what are you going to do with the small store next door?" ”

"Small storefront?" Liu Yun remembered, this small storefront was bought by the way when he bought this shop when he saw that the price was still cheap. It's just that after that, this small storefront was thrown into the corner by itself, and it was rarely remembered.

Liu Yun was silent for a while and said, "Dad, what do you think?"

Dad Liu thought for a while and said, "This store is relatively small, so I can only buy some barbecue and the like, and I guess the business is also good." I mean rent for a year, and next year if your parents are laid off from the unit, then run a barbecue restaurant yourself, and by the way, you can also help you watch the Internet café, and then you will also go to college. ”

Liu Yun shook his head and said, "This can't be done, it's too tiring to open a barbecue restaurant, if you are really laid off, you can enjoy it, why do you have to work so hard." He didn't want his parents to get up early and return late every day to earn that little money. It's very hard to sell barbecue meat skewers, and there are still those fumes every day, Liu Yun naturally disagrees.

"Dad, I have my own ideas for the small store next to me, and I'll think about it carefully when I get home. A good idea flashed through his mind, and he was about to go home to carefully consider the feasibility, so he said goodbye to Dad Liu.

After Liu Yun arrived home, he hurriedly ate a few bites of dinner, locked himself in his room, took out his notebook and carefully wrote down something. His idea was to use this small shop to open a bubble tea shop. In his previous life, he had witnessed the popularity of bubble tea shops, and there were often long queues at the entrance of small shops, which were very popular with young people, especially girls. The cost of the milk tea industry is not high, but the profit is amazing, which can be regarded as a huge profit.

The milk tea giant COCO of later generations is still limited to the island of Taiwan at the moment, and the entire Chinese milk tea market is still a vacuum. In his previous life, Liu Yun liked to drink milk tea while surfing the Internet in an Internet café. For this reason, he also deliberately studied the formula of milk tea, personally adjusted and tried the taste at home, and felt that the taste was not bad.

In fact, it is not difficult to make a cup of milk tea, in addition to the giant COOC, there are many large and small milk tea brands on the market in later generations of milk tea shops, which can be regarded as dazzling. In his opinion, the taste of each bubble tea shop is actually similar, and the price is also very close, what really opens up the gap is the marketing method that is easy for young people to accept, and there are enough varieties for customers to choose.

Writing these in his notebook, Liu Yun carefully recalled the characteristics of those successful bubble tea shops in his previous life. The decoration style should not be too complicated, concise, clear and comfortable. People are visual creatures, and first impressions often matter. When a pedestrian passes by his own bubble tea shop, he wants to ensure that it will leave a very comfortable impression on the customer.

There is also hygiene, which is also an important assessment indicator, a lot of hygiene needs to be done every day, and all utensils need to be scalded with hot water before use. The black tea and green tea essence are only kept for three hours, the tea bags are only used once, and everything is not left overnight, and it has to be discarded on the night it is not sold. The taste and hygiene are guaranteed, at least there will be no diarrhea after drinking.

Liu Yun seemed to feel that it was not enough, and pondered carefully, constantly recalling the situation of going to the bubble tea shop in his previous life. By the way, and the clothes of the staff. In later generations, restaurant chains would choose to have all employees wear work clothes. Once you wear the overalls with the logo of the restaurant brand, it will make customers feel that this is a regular army, not a guerrilla army, and it will make people feel that this is a very professional shop.

After writing this, Liu Yun felt that it should be almost there, so he focused his attention on the equipment to be purchased. Such as sealing machines, stainless steel operating tables, ice machines, vertical refrigerators, water heaters, ice crushers, presses, and so on. Write these first, and add more later if necessary. Although the bubble tea shop is small, it requires a lot of equipment.

Liu Yun wrote down all the types of milk tea he remembered one by one, but some of the production methods were still remembered, and some had been forgotten. However, there is no bubble tea shop in Donghai City today, there is no competition at all, he is ready to launch a few kinds of milk tea that he will make first, and the remaining ones, he can accumulate experience in the future, and he is slowly researching, which can also be regarded as his own hole cards.

It's impossible to take out all the good things at once.

This time, Liu Yun is going to launch the types of milk tea, after his careful consideration, the mellow milk tea series includes pudding milk tea, pearl milk tea, and red bean milk tea, the fresh fruit milk tea series, including fresh lemon green tea, kumquat lemon juice, and fresh lemon black tea, and the mellow black milk tea series, including chocolate milk tea, pudding chocolate milk tea, and coffee milk tea.

Let's do it first, set up 9 varieties of milk tea, you need to know that you can't become fat in one go. At that time, you need to see how the market reacts before making a decision. Liu Yun pushed milk tea to this market a few years in advance, and he had no bottom in his heart, if he failed, he would only lose about 20,000 yuan, and he could afford this loss.

He put down the pen in his hand, picked up the notebook and carefully examined it again, looking for any omissions and areas that needed to be filled. Bubble tea shops are different from Internet cafes, in this era, Internet cafes have proven to be a very popular and lucrative industry, even if a very simple Internet café has not been renovated, it can also do a booming business.

As long as this Internet café with 100 computers and exquisite decoration starts to open, it will surely be able to provide itself with a steady stream of money. He never doubted that. His concern was the bubble tea shop, a novel beverage that had not yet been recognized by the market, and which was both familiar and unfamiliar territory to him.

Liu Yun remembered that the Internet café had not yet been named, and he couldn't think of a suitable name for a while. He looked at the milk tea information in his hand for a while, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, it was called Yoyo Milk Tea Bar, and the Internet café next door was named Yoyo Internet Cafe.

He already has a rough plan in his mind about milk tea, and he is not in a hurry, so he can put it first. Nowadays, the most important thing is the opening of Internet cafes.

He is ready to be the first to launch a membership system. Among his plans, this Internet café with 200 square meters and 100 computers will launch a VIP area and a general area, and open a membership system. If the one-time recharge reaches 50 yuan, you can apply for a membership card.

Member price: 2.5 yuan/hour for ordinary area, 3.5 yuan/hour for VIP area. Non-members: 3 yuan/hour for ordinary area, 4 yuan/hour for VIP area.

Liu Yun envisioned that customers in the VIP area could sit on more comfortable sofa chairs, and the waiter would raise a cup of hot water for free. The difference of one yuan per hour can allow customers to experience different service contents.

He still has some ideas in his heart, but there is no need to take them out all at once, it makes more sense to release them slowly.
