Can not doing what one wants be called rebirth?

Chapter 121 119. Reborn
The counselor's sky blue dress had a very long hem that went below her knees.

What appeared in Mr. Lu's sight was only a section of snow-white calf as beautiful as onion, which was in full bloom.

"You're right, it's worth celebrating!"

Guo Minjie quickened her pace and moved to Lu Jincheng's side, just shoulder to shoulder.

Perhaps it was because her recent worries were suddenly relieved, her tone seemed to be a lot lighter.

"But not tonight."

When she walked, Guo Minjie's waist swayed like rain hitting lotus leaves, naturally and charmingly.

From head to toe, she exudes the natural charm of a mature woman.

"Tomorrow night?"

Mr. Lu raised his eyebrows.

"Correct."

Guo Minjie met his gaze.

"If we can successfully get the certificate tomorrow, we'll go celebrate."

The next morning, at the Midas Touch coffee shop.

"Lv Jincheng! I heard that you... yesterday..."

Boss Xiao Zhou was not in the store the day before, but many people tipped her off.

Not to mention the shocking gossip like Lu Jincheng slapped someone in the face, even if he brought a strange girl over for coffee, such a small move would definitely not be hidden from her.

"You are so well-informed, as expected of you."

Lu Jincheng put his elbows on the front desk, exerted force from his waist, and turned the chair under his hips around.

"Tell me quickly, why did you do it?"

Zhou Si Ning blinked, her sparkling eyes full of curiosity.

"Do you still remember what Guan Guan said about the husband of that person?"

Lu Jincheng leaned close to her ear and whispered some science to her.

"Oh, it's him~"

"He acted like a rogue yesterday, and then I did this and that"

As she listened, Zhou Si Ning's lips involuntarily turned into an O shape, the standard shape for eating melon.

"So, I gave him a big shove."

"Good fight!"

Zhou Si Ning pursed her cherry lips, giggled, and shrugged her shoulders.

"I didn't expect you to have some heroic spirit~"

"You can't say that. Since ancient times, beauties have been paired with heroes, and they have to score."

Lu Jincheng started talking nonsense again.

"What do you mean?"

"If I wasn't a beautiful woman, I wouldn't be able to be this hero. After all, there is an old saying."

"What's the old saying?"

Zhou Si Ning held her chin with one hand and looked at him with a smile.

"If I win, I'll go to jail. If I lose, I'll be hospitalized. Why should I take that risk? Who knows if he won't fight back?"

"Pah! You are so polite to say that."

The girl curled her lips, her eyes moved, and she rolled her eyes at him.

"You don't even need to draft a story when you're making it up. I admire you."

The two have known each other for so long that Zhou Si Ning has almost gotten used to his nonsense.

Well, if it were any other girl, if a boy made such outrageous remarks during the critical and ambiguous period, he would be in big trouble.

A direct veto.

It was clearly a righteous and good deed of helping others, but Lu Jincheng just happened to portray himself as a shameless person.

I don’t know what he is thinking.

Moreover, Guan Guan’s client is ten years older than him!
If they are ten years older, then they are not of the same generation.

What's more, the idea of ​​a beautiful woman matching a hero is unreal.

It's just nonsense.

Zhou Si Ning was not only jealous, she didn't take Mr. Lu's words to heart at all, and regarded him as just nonsense.

He couldn't possibly be interested in the teacher, could he?

An eighteen-year-old girl has basic respect for teachers no matter what.

It's hard to find someone like Mr. Lu who doesn't care about identity and has no sense of distance.

"Okay, no more jokes."

Zhou Si Ning straightened her long brown hair and got down to business.

"We asked you to come here today because someone wanted to discuss cooperation with us and asked if we have any plans to open a branch."

"Oh? Cooperation or brand franchising?"

Lu Jincheng smiled at Zhou Sining as if he had expected it, without any expression of surprise on his face.

In his heart, it was almost time.

【Turning Stone into Gold】The operation of the coffee shop till now can be said to be a textbook example for the industry to learn from.

The store not only has a very healthy cash flow, a complete supply chain, a steady stream of loyal customers, but also an enviable repurchase rate.

In just one month, [Dianshichengjin] has built a good reputation and its own brand.

This is certainly not just the credit of Mr. Lu alone. He also learned from the experiences and lessons of later coffee shop chain giants, avoiding pitfalls where necessary and optimizing where necessary.

Most people who work in the real world have sharp ears and sharp eyes. Even if they don't understand the tricks, they can roughly estimate the real profit of Mr. Lu's store just by using the clumsy method of waiting in person.

From the perspective of coffee, with the increasing popularity of coffee culture, coffee has become a fashionable item for young people today.

The up-and-coming star’s ability to turn stones into gold has made people see the potential of this track.

This is obviously a high-quality project, so who would resist money?

"A boss came to talk to me. He said that he had resources in the Optics Valley business district and wanted to invest in us and help us open more branches in the big business district."

As Zhou Sining spoke, she stared at Lu Jincheng's reaction.

"Should we expand the scale? What do you think?"

Lu Jincheng thought for a moment and asked, "What conditions did he offer?"

"The share is not that big, but the requirement is that he must operate the Optics Valley store independently."

Zhou Sining replied.

"Forget it, it's just a small fight, it's boring."

Lu Jincheng shook his head.

"Refuse it. Tell me when you meet a big boss to discuss cooperation."

Coffee brands with a relatively mature single-store model and certain characteristics are not too expensive after evaluation in the early stages of development and are the type that capital likes to enter and incubate.

When it comes to investment targets, investors are most concerned about the brand itself and the brand's single-store model.

Ultimately, these indicators point to whether the project can achieve healthy growth.

In a sense, the excellence of a single-store model is measured by financial indicators.

For example, gross profit margin, single-store revenue relative to business area, product repurchase rate, store customer traffic, etc.

In addition, a brand's appeal to consumers and its attractiveness to commercial real estate are also taken into consideration by capital.

The "Turning Stone into Gold" coffee, which has compressed space and costs and marketed itself at an extreme level, is such a representative example.

The prerequisite for Mr. Lu to make up his mind to expand the scale and form a chain is that the partner is strong enough.

If you take the route of replicating a single store, flat management is not too complicated and the partners are capable enough to cope with it.

However, when capital comes in and the pace of store openings accelerates, this poses a challenge to the personal abilities of the founders and investors, as well as the team's cross-regional operations.

It may even be necessary to introduce new executives through headhunting, and then face many complex management and organizational structure issues.

"Know it."

Zhou Sining nodded, and seeing Lu Jincheng always looking down at his phone, she couldn't help but frown.

"Are you so busy with your business?"

"Not really."

Lu Jincheng rubbed his face and locked the screen again, with a lingering smile on his lips.

He just received a new message.

From the counselor.
