Reborn to prepare for the college entrance exam, you're letting me retire and make a comeback?

Lu Qian retaliated with a powerful, chocolate-flavored electric cannon shot, which landed on Lin Shuyue's hand.

"???"

Lin Shuyue was completely bewildered by Lu Qian's sudden feeding.

"Lu Qian, what are you doing?"

She looked down at the two bags of chocolates that had been forced into her arms: "I...I can't eat that many, and didn't you want some just now?"

"No, I don't want to eat it!" Lu Qian said firmly. "From today onwards, I, Lu Qian, am officially cutting ties with junk food. I want to exercise, take care of my health, and live to ninety-nine."

Just kidding, with the "90-year-old trial card" warning right in front of us, who would dare touch this thing?

This isn't chocolate; it's a ticket to a wheelchair!

[Ding—Mission complete! Host has successfully resisted the temptation of junk food. Future health index will slightly improve. Please maintain this!]

Seeing the countdown on the panel stop, Lu Qian breathed a silent sigh of relief, feeling a layer of cold sweat seep out of his back.

That was close! I almost died here.

Lin Shuyue was also left speechless by his sudden "health declaration".

She looked Lu Qian up and down.

Broad shoulders, narrow waist, and an upright posture.

I couldn't help but want to touch it after seeing it.

She couldn't help but purse her lips and mutter under her breath, "With a figure like yours, why do you even need to work out? If you keep working out, you'll be able to charm all the other class beauties..."

The last sentence was spoken so softly it was like a mosquito's hum, and two blushes quietly rose on her cheeks.

"What? What did you just say?"

"No!"

"..."

Lu Qian didn't hear what she said next, and just turned his attention back to the shelves.

Because he discovered a very fatal problem.

Nowadays, the shelves of small supermarkets are filled with a dazzling array of snacks and drinks that are almost entirely high in oil, sugar, and salt.

This is completely different from the supermarket shelves before his rebirth.

"It seems that the concept of healthy eating is not as deeply ingrained as it was before my rebirth, and supermarket retail methods are still stuck in version 1.0. The 2.0 version of Sugar Nest and Zhao Yiming Snacks have not yet appeared..."

"This is indeed a business opportunity!"

"Zero-calorie light meals, fat loss, high fiber, and no additives—these dietary concepts will definitely be implanted into consumers' subconscious by capital in the future, creating new markets and creating a wave of opportunities."

"We're not far from this opportunity, and the retail industry doesn't require much initial investment, so I might consider getting involved..."

Three hours after being reborn, Lu Qian finally found a way to make a fortune in this era.

While modern supermarkets are filled with health food labels, they are almost nowhere to be found in retail stores of this era.

"The boom in healthy eating is probably coming soon," Lu Qian thought to himself.

Before his rebirth, he had personally witnessed the explosion of the health food boom.

After 2015, Genki Forest broke through the competition with its zero-sugar concept, Three Squirrels transformed into a healthy nut brand, and even KFC started to launch salad sets.

Not to mention the new retail models that emerged later.

By 2025, traditional supermarkets will have mostly survived the global consumer slump, while those new retail stores that focus on the 2.0 version of new retail will make a fortune.

This shows just how lucrative this market was back then.

Currently, supermarket shelves are still full of fried and puffed foods. Capital has not realized that with the progress of the times and people's dietary concepts, "health preservation" is about to become a necessity for the new generation of young people.

"Although this market isn't as big as the internet market was back then, it's still retail..."

"While such cash cows may not have a high ceiling, they are far more stable than other industries, making them highly sought-after. With successful examples, everyone is vying to invest, so there's definitely no shortage of funds..."

The more Lu Qian thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

High-end capitalists don't actively seek out markets; they only create new ones.

They could easily instill a new idea in young people and then create a new competitive arena.

That's how the health and wellness trend was created back then.

What I need to do is stand on the vent before the wind blows and be ready to take off!

Lei Jun once said, "If the right opportunity comes, even a pig can fly."

But there's actually another sentence that follows.

—If the wind stops, how will the pig land?

Lu Qian felt that he could still fly.

As for falling, that's impossible.

He will only fly higher and higher!

"Combing the Moon".

Thinking about it, he suddenly asked, "If someone launched a low-sugar, low-fat, and delicious snack right now, would you buy it?"

Hearing this, Lin Shuyue tilted her head: "Of course! Who doesn't like delicious and healthy food? But... can healthy food taste good?"

She pointed to the shelf: "Look, even sugar-free cookies now have a bunch of additives on their ingredient list."

In Lin Shuyue's mind, snacks and health are not essentially synonymous.

And this is precisely the misconception that many people have in this day and age.

Little did they know that future products like Genki Forest would show them that snacks and health can coexist.

"That's the problem."

Lu Qian said, "The so-called health foods nowadays are all just a sham, but what if we could make a truly healthy blockbuster product?"

He gave an example: "For instance, using soft drinks with natural sugar substitutes and non-fried potato chips satisfies the taste while reducing the harm of fat and sugar to the human body, which can be said to be the best of both worlds."

"That's a good idea," Lin Shuyue said after thinking for a moment, "but why would a high school student like you be thinking about these things? You couldn't possibly do it anyway..."

Lin Shuyue felt that Lu Qian was having some wild ideas.

It's not unusual to discover a business opportunity on a whim.

But whether or not one has the strength and technology to seize such a business opportunity is another matter entirely.

Lu Qian, who is still a high school student, is too far removed from these things. Just developing such a health product would probably require a lot of investment, not to mention the subsequent marketing and promotion.

But at that moment, Lu Qian had already taken out his phone and found a name in the contact list.

Chen Feiyu.

His classmate from the next class.

In Lu Qian's memory, his classmate's family owned the largest food processing plant in the area, making him one of the few rich kids in their high school.

In his previous life, this guy took over the family business after graduating from university and even appeared on a financial channel interview, so he could be considered a successful person.

It is said that he has an older sister who is as beautiful as an angel. She is now apparently the most beautiful girl at the best university in their province and will become a well-known strong woman after she enters society.

"The key thing is, this guy and I are pretty close now, so I can suck up to him again!"

Lu Qian was immediately delighted again.

What else is there to say?

Just go find him directly!

Wasn't he reborn just to go hungry?

"Let's go."

He grabbed Lin Shuyue's wrist: "Go back to the classroom first, I need to see someone."

……

……

Before long, Lu Qian arrived at the school's badminton hall.

"Sure enough, coming to the badminton hall was the right thing to do if we wanted to find this guy."

He immediately saw the figure he was looking for.

Why would Lu Qian, a child from an ordinary family, be so familiar with this rich second-generation? The reason is that they share a common hobby: playing badminton.

Chen Yufei is absolutely obsessed with badminton; otherwise, Lu Qian wouldn't have come directly to the badminton hall to find him.

Because he knew that there was a 90% chance this guy would appear here after the exam.

In high school, the two of them often played basketball together, but after they went to different universities and lived in different places, they rarely kept in touch.

I was foolish back then. I went to the best high school in the city, but I only cared about playing all day. After entering university, I lost contact with some of my high school friends and wasted so many resources that I wouldn't normally have access to.

It wasn't until he entered the workforce and learned the importance of connections that Lu Qian realized what he had missed.

"Sigh, if only I had been smarter back then and had just found a powerful backer, I wouldn't be in such a miserable state now..." Thinking of his past life, Lu Qian felt a pang of regret.

Fortunately, he was reborn. In this life, he'll latch onto as many powerful figures as possible.

Between losing by lying down and lying down to win, he chose to win by lying down.

"Yo Kenko!"

At this moment, Chen Yufei saw Lu Qian barge in and immediately raised an eyebrow, saying, "You came to play ball as soon as you finished your exams?"

"Let's fight," Lu Qian replied, following his lead. "But before we fight, I want to discuss something with you."

"Go ahead and say it." Chen Yufei didn't think much of it and agreed immediately.

We're all buddies who play basketball together, so our buddies' business is our business.

Lu Qian didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "I just went to the supermarket and looked at the products on the shelves, and I found that high-fat and high-sugar snacks make up the vast majority."

"With the growing emphasis on healthy food, I have a feeling that in the next five years, high-fat and high-sugar products will be replaced by healthy snacks. I see that your factory has an existing production line. If you switch to making additive-free snacks now, you might be able to catch a trend..."

He tried to speak as plainly as possible so that the other person could understand him.

Of course, the theory itself isn't too profound; anyone who puts their mind to it should be able to understand the principles behind it.

"..."

Hearing Lu Qian's words, Chen Yufei paused for two seconds: "Qianzi, have you been driven crazy by the monthly exam? Why are you starting to talk business with me?"

His first reaction was that Lu Qian was joking with him, and he didn't seriously consider the other party's suggestion.

When Lu Qian told him that he also had something important to say, he thought that Lu Qian was going to confess his feelings to Su Yuwei. He didn't expect that Lu Qian would talk about this.

But he didn't take what he had just said to heart.

After all, high school students have limited knowledge and experience. Business ideas are mostly just wishful thinking. Even if they have unique ideas, they will be ill-considered in many aspects. Just listen to them and that's fine.

But Lu Qian's next action made him take things a little more seriously.

No, I'm not joking.

Lu Qian took out his phone and pulled up the data he had searched in advance:

"Look, the sub-health rate among white-collar workers in first-tier cities is now 67%, and the search volume for health and wellness information among Generation Z is increasing by 200% annually..."

"If we can do well in this market, then it will be a blue ocean."

"And we will be the first wave to ride the crest of the wave!"
