Richest Man: I really don’t want to make money

"Sorry, Mr. Chen has stipulated before that this coffee shop does not accept franchises, it is only a directly operated store."

Sudan's eyes were apologetic. Mr. Chen had told them about this direct operation when he signed the contract.

Not accepting franchises, only direct sales?

Lin Mei was a little puzzled when she heard this. Coffee shops or milk tea shops like this basically rely on franchise stores to expand.

After all, if you open a direct operation, you will need more funds, as well as manpower and energy to manage and operate.

But franchising is different. Not only can you earn franchise fees, but the investment is also much less, which is equivalent to reducing a lot of risks.

Some brands even make money by earning franchise fees from franchisees.

But she doesn't have to join this coffee shop. Since she doesn't accept the franchise, forget it.

"Okay, your coffee is good, but it's a bit far from my house, so I'm afraid I won't be able to drink it often."

Lin Mei sighed, feeling a little pity.

"Teacher Su, isn't Mr. Chen ready to open a branch? Where will the branch be located?"

Wu Yu spoke at the right time. Since Lin Mei thought it was far away, the branch might be closer.

"The location of the branch has not yet been decided, so we are not sure where it will be."

Hearing this, Sultan replied, smiling bitterly in his heart.

Among the conditions Mr. Chen gave her, one was difficult to fulfill.

Then look for stores that can be sold. If it is a store in an ordinary location, it will definitely be for sale. But for those stores near Starbucks, it is difficult to find anyone for sale. They are basically rented.

After all, Starbucks' locations are basically places with good traffic. Such places are very popular, and there is no shortage of stores that can't be rented out.

As long as he is a normal household head and there is no special emergency, he will not choose a location for sale at all.

After all, rental is a continuous income.

So these two days, they have been choosing an address.

Of course, Mr. Chen did not require that she buy it, but she had to make sure that she really couldn't buy it before she could choose to rent a store.

Lin Mei's eyes lit up when she heard Sultan's words, and she turned to look at her companion beside her.

"Shuyun, don't you have many stores in your home? Choose one that suits you."

I, Mayu, am an old demolition household. During the demolition, I don’t know how many houses were allocated.

The reason why we can live such a prosperous life now is just by relying on a huge amount of demolition money and then collecting rent.

A real charterer.

"Well, do you have any requirements for the store? I can choose one for you."

The friend next to Lin Mei looked at Sudan. She did have several stores whose leases had expired, and the original tenants did not intend to renew the lease.

After hearing this, Sudan told Mr. Chen's request, but he didn't have high hopes.

"Well, I do have a store here that meets your location requirements, but I have no plans to sell it. If you want to rent it, I can rent it at a price that is 20% lower than the market price."

As a charterer,

This house is her foundation. If it is sold, it will undoubtedly destroy the foundation.

But this coffee shop is good and she likes to drink it.

The store that met the requirements happened to be two adjacent stores, not far from my home.

If the coffee shop chooses her store, she can open a clothing store next door, which will be much more convenient when she wants to drink.

So selling is not an option, but she can give a very low rental price.

Sudan was a little moved by the other party's words. It was lower than 20% of the market price, which would undoubtedly save a lot of money.

Nowadays, the coffee shop has never made a profit. It is also very good to be able to save Mr. Chen some money.

Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked at the other party.

"Can we leave your contact information? If I rent it, I will get back to you within the next two days."

If she really couldn't find a store that met the requirements and could still sell it, she would choose this store.

Exchange contact information,

Sudan briefly chatted for a few more words about coffee, then turned and left.

After all, Wu Yu was still discussing agency matters, so she couldn't disturb him too much.

After some time,

She saw Wu Yu take out the contract that he had prepared long ago and knew that the agency matter was done.

"Sister Lin, thank you this time."

After signing the contract,

Wu Yu sent a few people to the door of the coffee shop, looked at Lin Mei and thanked them.

Being able to sign the contract so happily was entirely because Lin Mei was helping.

"It's okay if you want to thank me. Next time the coffee shop opens a branch, you can help arrange it. Just open one near my home."

Lin Mei chuckled.

"I try my best."

Wu Yu smiled and replied without giving a definite answer.

After all, he is an employee of the clothing factory and cannot interfere with the coffee shop at all. All he can do is talk to Teacher Su and the others.

Whether it can be adopted or not is beyond his control.

Inside the coffee shop,

When Wu Yu and others left, it returned to a deserted state again.

Song Xia held her chin with one hand and looked at the flow of people outside with a sad look on her face.

Today is Saturday, and the pedestrian street is much busier than usual, but there are still not many customers in the coffee shop.

It cannot be said that there are not many customers. There are still many customers who come in, but most of them are dissuaded by the high price of coffee.

Those who can stay are either curious or embarrassed to leave because they want to save face.

But these people are a minority after all. The largest turnover today is still the five 188 contributed by Wu Yu.

What should we do?

"Sister Song Xia, what do you and Teacher Su think about my previous proposal?"

Zhou Mei came over and asked expectantly.

Since she proposed the maid cafe, Song Xia and Teacher Su have not given her a reply, which made her a little anxious.

Song Xia looked up at Zhou Mei and thought of the other party's previous proposal.

To be honest, she didn't understand spies very well, but she checked the information yesterday and found that there were still many such groups, and there were also activities such as comic exhibitions.

But she checked the domestic coffee shops and found that there was no precedent for a maid cafe.

So she and Teacher Su have been hesitating and have not made a decision.

After thinking about it, she spoke.

"Your proposal is indeed novel, but this type of coffee shop has not been verified by the market yet, so we can't make a decision easily. If there is really no other way, we will adopt this suggestion."

"Okay, I am very optimistic about maid coffee shops."

Zhou Mei said confidently.

"Then do you have any specific plans and methods to attract customers after opening?"

Song Xia looked at Zhou Mei. This was the issue she was most concerned about.
