Can not doing what one wants be called rebirth?

Chapter 20. The New Boss of Fuguang Coffee
"You shouldn't have asked him!"

Guan Yongyi rolled her eyes at him, tugged at her best friend's skirt, and spoke with a hint of mischief in her tone.

"Look, he succeeded this time, didn't he?"

The short-haired beauty couldn't resist Zhou Si Ning and wore the same princess dress as her, but unlike her, the relatively cool black was Guan Yongyi's final insistence.

Girls who study law really can’t be cute.

“Are you going to start a business?”

For the same sentence, the key point Zhou Sining heard was completely different from that of her best friend.

She held her chin with both hands, her slightly rosy peach blossom eyes were watery, and she looked at Lu Jincheng with admiration.

In her eyes, Lu Jincheng simply exceeded the limits of her imagination of a freshman.

Over the course of more than half a month, Zhou Sining witnessed him using financial leverage to earn at least seven figures in the turbulent market.

What is even more admirable is that Lu Jincheng was able to retreat at the right time, withdraw as soon as he made a profit, and continue to adopt a prudent investment strategy.

Although he is only 18 years old, he is not as ostentatious and impetuous as his peers.

At this time, Lu Jincheng mentioned that he wanted to start a business, and Zhou Sining couldn't help but become curious again.

"Well, I plan to buy this store and renovate it when the time comes."

Lu Jincheng nodded and did not deny it.

"Ah? You want to buy this coffee shop?"

Guan Yongyi said in surprise while quietly drinking coffee.

Not only her, but even Zhou Si Ning blinked with a puzzled look on her face.

This coffee shop is crowded with people, and there is almost no traffic?
Moreover, from her understanding since childhood, opening a coffee shop near a university is not considered as starting a business at all, it is at most a way to make a living.

Even if Lu Jincheng has enough capital to start a business, he should at least do some market research. It's not that casual, right?
"Not very suitable, right? Let me do the math for you. We have been sitting here for such a long time, and only three tables of guests have come in. Assuming that they can be fully occupied during the peak period, then..."

"This kind of store has no future, and the profit methods are limited."

Zhou Si Ning bit her lip lightly and took out the calculator on her phone to start calculating.

"Never mind. It's not necessary."

Lu Jincheng smiled and pressed Zhou Sining's hand, full of confidence: "It's normal that I don't make money now, because I'm not the boss."

He does have this confidence.

In his previous life, Mr. Lu had a very good relationship with Luckin Coffee's Lu Zhengyao. The other party had talked about many key points about how a coffee company can grow from zero to one.

After all, this is an era where even good wine needs to be hidden if it is not well-known. If you want to run a coffee shop successfully, you must not only understand the product, but also understand marketing.

In fact, even if Mr. Lu doesn’t understand marketing, products, or even anything at all, as long as he takes over this store, he can still make money without doing anything.

Because soon, a campus folk group called "Landlord's Cat" will shoot their first cover video in this Floating Light Cafe.

What was originally just a casual singing video was forwarded by popular bloggers and many big Vs, and the number of clicks quickly exceeded 10 million. The landlord's cat became an Internet sensation, and it took off from Fuguang Coffee.

At that time, they still used mobile phones to record songs and videos, and occasionally went to the recording studio to use the 50-yuan half-hour experience coupon. The picture quality was poor and the editing was so rough that it was almost non-existent.

Mr. Lu, who is a man of many plans, has long been eyeing the first potential customer of his studio.

"Baby, let's not talk to him anymore, he's such a boaster!"

Guan Yongyi couldn't help but take a deep sip of the iced Americano in front of him: "Didn't you say he had plenty of money? Don't worry about him, he'll go bankrupt in less than half a year!"

They had been sitting here for nearly half an hour, and the three tables of guests had become two. She really couldn't see why this coffee shop was worth acquiring.

"I'll go talk to the boss."

Lu Jincheng didn't explain. He got up and walked to the back room of the deserted coffee shop to negotiate the price with the boss.

"To be honest, I really don't want to do this anymore."

The boss is a man in his thirties with long hair, looking like a typical artistic youth. "If you really want it, the annual rent of this shop is 70,000 yuan, and I can sell these machines and raw materials to you at a lower price, so the total is 100,000 yuan, okay?"

"too expensive."

Lu Jincheng frowned.

He only had a little over 90,000 yuan in pocket money, and he used it all to open the café. What else did he have to spend?
Moreover, the place will have to be renovated into an internet celebrity style and people will have to be hired to run it, which all require real investments.

"."

"Ninety thousand, no less."

As long as he opens his mouth to bargain, it means that the boy in front of him is sincere in buying it.

The boss made a final concession.

"Forget it, I'll go back and think about it."

Lu Jincheng waved his hand and returned to his seat.

"How's it going? Have you finished the dish?"

Zhou Si Ning and Guan Yongyi stared at him like two curious babies, wanting to hear the result.

"After opening this store, we need to renovate it and recruit new employees. I think it's a bit over budget."

Lu Jincheng shrugged, raised his latte and took a sip.

We didn’t get to talk about psychological expectations today, he can just come back tomorrow.

Anyway, he was determined to fight a protracted war and make sure to take over this store.

Through the identity of the owner of Fuguang Coffee, he was able to get in touch with the landlord's cats and help them operate the first video that went viral.

After all, this folk music group, which was popular all over the country in the previous life, was well-known for being nostalgic in the circle.

Even the agent did not let the money go to outsiders, as he was also their classmate and friend.

Everything is still in time.

"Oh, I guess I'll throw in a little bit, too."

At this moment, Zhou Si Ning suddenly raised her head, holding the corner of her clothes with one hand, and her eyes seemed to be filled with stars.

"I'll pay for the renovation and recruitment. As for how much of the shares you want, you can decide when the time comes."

After some psychological struggle, she decided to stand on the same boat with Lu Jincheng.

"Sisi, are you stupid?"

Guan Yongyi was startled, and quickly took her best friend's arm, came close to her and whispered.

This is clearly a case of throwing meat buns at a dog - why give away an investment that will never come back for free?
"It's okay. It won't cost much anyway. It's not bad to just treat it as a place for us to chat in the future."

Zhou Si Ning chuckled and she quickly convinced herself.

The Code of Wealth helped her earn tens of thousands of dollars. What did it matter if she invested a little money to help him decorate the building?
Besides, I also have shares, so the money is not wasted.

"Okay, I'll give you the shares based on how much you spent on the renovation."

Lu Jincheng raised his head, smiled and patted Zhou Sining's shoulder without any courtesy.

You have good taste.

He walked into the inner room and called out the boss, indicating that they could talk further about what had just happened.

"Boss, 90,000 is fine. Let my legal department draft a contract now."

"Is it okay to sign today?"

As he spoke, he pointed to Guan Yongyi, a law student beside him.
