Chapter 261: Frustration

Seven Cups of Tea opened on the third day of their franchise opening.

Early in the morning, four flower baskets were placed at the entrance of the seven-cup tea shop, a banner with opening discounts was pulled on the front of the store, and there were two anthropomorphic dolls dressed as seven-cup tea at the entrance of the subway passage to attract customers.

The offer for the opening of Seven Cups of Tea is no smaller than their "Imperial Tribute Tea", and the second cup is also half price on the first day of opening.

Nie Yao was going to listen to Tang's branch in Jinbei City with Zhou Rui today, so she didn't go to the bubble tea shop to help.

When Nie Yao came back with Zhou Rui in the evening, she saw that Nie's mother was already preparing dinner at home.

Nie Yao glanced at the wall clock on the wall, it was only six o'clock in the afternoon.

She put her backpack on the couch and went to the kitchen to help.

"Mom, why did you come back so early, didn't you say okay, we'll solve dinner by ourselves, you don't have to come back to cook for me and Brother Rui. ”

Nie Yao washed her hands to help her mother pick green onions, although Nie's mother pulled a smile at her daughter, Nie Yao could see at a glance that she was smiling reluctantly.

I only heard Nie's mother say: "It's okay, you don't know how to cook, Zhou Rui is a guest in our house, so we can't let him cook." Anyway, I don't have anything to do in the bubble tea shop, so I'll just come back and cook for you. ”

Nie Yao heard the meaning of her mother's words, what does it mean to be okay in the bubble tea shop, the four or five of them were too busy for the first two days.

Nie Yao cut the green onion and put it aside for her mother to spare, she thought for a while and said, "The bubble tea shop opposite has opened?"

Nie's mother was stunned, she didn't expect her daughter to guess it in one bite, in fact, there is nothing to hide, even if Nie Yao doesn't know now, she will know in two days.

Nie Mu nodded, "They opened this morning, and since they opened, there are basically no customers on our side." ”

Nie Yao: ......

"How much does their milk tea cost?"

"The medium cup is about fourteen, and the large cup is about eighteen. ”

Although Nie Yao had already expected that after the opening of Seven Cups of Tea, the business of the family milk tea shop would not be very good, but she did not expect that the gap would be so big, and Seven Cups of Tea would almost take over the business of the family milk tea shop.

The milk tea in their store has eight cups and a large cup is only twelve, and the price is already much lower than that of seven cups of tea.

Although Nie's mother didn't say it, from the time she accidentally burned her fingers when she stir-fried twice, Nie Yao knew that her mother was very anxious.

She hurriedly relieved: "Mom, don't worry, there is always a way." ”

Mother Nie nodded in response, she knew that her daughter was comforting herself, where is there any way, the recipes of milk tea of various brands are different, and the taste of Yugong tea is indeed not as good as that of seven cups of tea, she is not stupid, she tasted it in one bite.

If the prices of the two are about the same, they can still fight a price war, but their starting point is lower than seven cups of tea, and the price is so low that no one buys it, and I am afraid that not many people will buy it if it drops again.

And this price was originally set, and if they cut the price again, they would be trading at a loss, so what money would they make.

So it's almost an unsolvable problem to get their bubble tea shop business hot again, unless they let that Seven Cups of Tea store close its doors.

However, after closing the family for seven cups of tea, there will be more in the future.

Won't they let someone else open a store?

How can it be!

Nie's mother, who had become comfortable two days before the opening because of good business, fell to the bottom in an instant.

How much I expected to open a store to make money, and how much I regret it now.

If you don't open this franchised bubble tea shop, what is the reason why you keep that money, and now it's no different from being lost.

After helping her mother wash the cucumbers again, Nie Yao saw that there was nothing she had to do in the kitchen, so she simply went out.

Zhou Rui was chatting with someone on the computer in Nie Qi's room, Nie Yao came in, saw him with a smile on his face, and was stunned for a moment, "Brother Rui is so happy? ”

Zhou Rui couldn't help but the corners of his mouth curled, "I've been giving you contact resources and notices for the past two days, and I'm just chatting with Director Liu! He wants to make a big movie, although the investment is not much, but there is a role in it that I think is quite suitable for you, the second female lead, Director Liu is also relieved, and I will take you to the audition in two days." ”

Nie Yao was a little surprised, Zhou Rui had been listening to Tang for more than a year, and he had almost no work for him, he had no artists under him, and he was about the same as a rice worm.

She thought it would take him some time to regain the resources and connections in his hands, but she didn't expect him to find her a job so quickly.

It seems that his work ability is not bad, and even higher than that of most agents in the Tang Xinren Department, but he was not given the opportunity to show it before.

"What movie?"

Zhou Rui sent the script he asked for from Director Liu to Nie Yao's mailbox, "You can read it yourself for a while, if you have any opinions, you can also mention them to me, after all, we just cooperated, and I don't know much about some of your situations." ”

"Okay!"

Nie Yao didn't disturb his work, went back to her room to read the script Zhou Rui sent her, and called Nie Qi by the way, asking him to buy a few cups of signature milk tea from the Seven Cups of Tea opposite their shop and bring them back to taste when he came back.

Cao Jinglong sent Nie Qi back, and when the two arrived home, it was only a little after seven o'clock, and the store door was already closed, so there was really no business.

At this time, Nie's mother had just finished the meal and served it to the table, beckoning Cao Jinglong and Zhou Rui to sit, and Nie Qi put the milk tea that her sister wanted on the coffee table in the living room.

He bought a total of nine cups, all of which were the signature flavors of seven cups of tea.

Mother Nie came out with a plate of braised river prawns and saw the "seven cups of tea" on the coffee table, she was stunned, and said in disappointment: "Xiao Qi, how can you buy seven cups of milk tea and come back." ”

If you want to drink milk tea, they don't have too much left in the store today, and the goods delivered this morning have not sold one-fifth, and the rest have to be disposed of because of the hot weather, all of which are losses.

Nie's mother has notified the supplier to reduce the supply by two times, and also made the supplier complain, saying that they changed the order twice in three days.

To increase the supply, of course the suppliers are happy, but when it is reduced, they are not so happy, and it is expected that Nie Mu will be complained by them.

Nie's mother can't have a child, she can't come in and a large number of raw materials can't be sold.

She had to apologize, endure the other party's complaints, and confirm the supply for the next day.

Nie Qi touched his head innocently, not knowing how to explain to his mother.

Nie Yao heard the conversation in the living room and walked out of the room, "Mom, I asked Xiao Qi to buy it, people's business is so good, we always have to try it to see where other people's strengths are." ”

Cao Jinglong also said: "I think Yaoyao is right, eat first, and after eating, everyone will help taste the difference in the taste of the two milk teas." ”

Nie's mother also reacted at this time, and felt that what her daughter and Cao Jinglong said made sense.

I saw Cao Jinglong go out again, and brought in the various milk teas of the "Imperial Tribute Tea" that fell at the entrance of the door.

There are seven kinds in total, because there are a lot of leftovers in the store, Cao Jinglong packed two cups, a total of fourteen cups, all on the wooden coffee table, large and small plastic cups and paper cups put together quite spectacular.
