Lu Yuan exhaled lightly, took out a cigarette, looked up at Xia Yibing, and asked, "Don't mind?"

Xia Yibing just replied lightly: "Smoking in front of a lady is not a gentleman's performance. ”

Lu Yuan laughed.

"I'm just a child, where is a gentleman!"

But having said that, he just put the cigarette between his nose and sniffed it before placing it on the table.

"Now I can be 100% sure that a series of operating methods of this bubble tea shop are all from your hands!"

Xia Yibing's brows furrowed slightly.

"It's just that I can't imagine that you should be sixteen or seventeen years old at most, but you have such a big addiction to smoking, and you have such accurate and sharp eyes and means, what kind of family environment can cultivate a teenager like you!"

Lu Yuan listened silently, and then, the expression on his face slowly became serious, and his gaze at Xia Yibing also became more scrutinized.

"My family is ordinary!"

He explained first, and then continued, "To be honest, in the process of my bubble tea shop, many people have doubted and even rejected me because of my age, and you are the only one who guessed me in such a short period of time." ”

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, a complicated look flashed in Xia Yibing's eyes, and he said quietly: "In this world, there are too many people who don't believe in the existence of geniuses. ”

This sentence is obviously a flattery of Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan smiled noncommittally, and his gaze at Xia Yibing also had a hint of banter.

"Aren't you afraid that I just played that advertisement as a gimmick, just hype marketing?"

When Xia Yibing heard this, her face, which originally looked a little plain, showed a slight smile, she tidied up the hem of her skirt, and then looked up and said to Lu Yuan: "I said a lot of Man Tingfang's advantages just now, I don't know if you still want to hear about Man Tingfang's flaws?"

Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, and said, "I want to hear it in detail!"

Xia Yibing paused slightly, as if organizing the language, and only after a moment did he speak.

"I didn't pay attention to Man Tingfang before, but I can make a simple estimate, your store through a series of previous marketing, on the opening day, the popularity should be very hot, I just observed the waiter surnamed Yang to make milk tea, as well as the price of milk tea, the sales of the day, about 10,000 yuan, I don't know, right?"

Lu Yuan nodded and motioned for her to continue.

"I observed outside your store for about half an hour in the afternoon, and roughly estimated the flow of people, and the usual sales are about five or six thousand yuan, I don't know, right?"

At this time, Lu Yuan's face finally changed, and there was already a trace of appreciation and admiration in his gaze when he looked at Xia Yibing, just through half an hour of observation, he could basically guess Man Tingfang's sales, which was already quite powerful.

It's just that Xia Yibing's face didn't have any smug expression, and it was still as plain as water.

"Maybe after the last official opening of Xindu, Mantingfang's turnover will be listed for a short time, but if it is measured on a quarterly basis, its profit curve will be a slow downward curve. ”

"Even in half a year, there will be many bubble tea shops of the same type in Jidong to share your market, even if Man Tingfang himself does not make mistakes, the turnover will drop sharply, I don't know if you think what I said is right?"

Xia Yibing took a sip of milk tea, leaned back on the sofa, put her slender legs together, with a hint of a smile on her face, and looked at the young man opposite her who made her feel a little amazing, and was a little curious in her heart, what would he think of the defects he raised.

Hearing Xia Yibing's words, Lu Yuan didn't speak immediately, but took a breath softly, and his fingers gently tapped on the armrest of the sofa.

After being silent for nearly half a minute, he raised his head, looked directly at Xia Yibing with his eyes, and said lightly: "If I said that I had thought of these questions a long time ago, I don't know if Miss Xia believes it or not?"

When Xia Yibing heard this, the smile on his face instantly bloomed, and his originally ordinary face became extremely infectious at this time.

Seeing that Xia Yibing just smiled and didn't speak, Lu Yuan leaned over, swept away the food packaging in front of him, and said in a low voice: "Similar to this kind of catering industry, what was originally done was the concept of fast-moving consumer goods, unless you can make your own brand and reputation, it is difficult to make a lot of money or long-term money from this, and the domestic market is used to plagiarism and imitation." ”

Speaking of this, Lu Yuan smiled slightly bitterly and continued: "Man Tingfang has not been plagiarized so far, probably because the initial investment is relatively large, and the best location has been selected by Man Tingfang, and those people should still be waiting to see how long Man Tingfang can be popular!"

"So, your solution is?"

The smile on Xia Yibing's face slowly faded away at this time, she originally thought that the young man in front of her just had some of his own little cleverness about milk tea, and she didn't expect that he had his own cognition and views on the entire catering market.

"Be a franchise store!"

Lu Yuan showed a strange smile and slowly raised a finger.

"Why isn't it a franchise store?"

Hearing Lu Yuan say the answer in his heart, although Xia Yibing was already a little mentally prepared and guessed that the other party had a plan in his heart, he was still slightly shocked, but he was still a little unconvinced in his heart, and he also leaned down, looked directly at Lu Yuan, and asked quickly.

Lu Yuan laughed, his eyes swept imperceptibly over the plump breasts of the woman opposite who were outlined by a black tight sweater, leaned his body against the sofa, and spread his hands and said: "The easiest way, the franchise store will make money quickly!"

“……”

Xia Yibing was suddenly a little speechless, he couldn't imagine that the other party actually said such a simple reason, which is of course the most direct and reasonable reason.

But she was still a little unwilling, because she felt that Lu Yuan's vision should not be so short-sighted at this time.

Thinking so in her heart, she also said it directly.

"It is true that the money comes faster to do a franchise store, but there have been many lessons in the market, and it is often difficult for franchise stores to replicate the popularity of the initial store, because it is difficult to implement the standards in management, if you want to do it for a long time, the direct store is more perfect!"

Lu Yuan shook his head with a smile, gestured towards the KFC box on the table, and said with a smile: "Aren't KFC and McDonald's obvious examples?"

Xia Yibing was stunned for a moment, McDonald's is taking the direct sales model in China at this time, and KFC is just the opposite, but now in terms of domestic market share, KFC is far ahead.

Seeing that Xia Yibing was about to refute, Lu Yuan smiled and made a gesture, signaling to listen to himself first.
