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

Bang!

"Pah, what a scumbag!"

"I knew I shouldn't have agreed to let that lecher come here today. What bad luck!"

After watching the man's departing figure, the woman threw down her cup, stood up, and prepared to leave, clearly very angry.

Then the waiter stopped him.

"Hello ma'am, your table hasn't paid yet..."

The waiter politely gestured to the lady, but he couldn't quite suppress the urge to smile.

This man and woman sitting here are hiding a hundred and eight schemes.

There was almost no one to pay the bill.

"...How much should we pay for the drinks for the two of us?"

"It's not expensive, only 8888!"

"Pah! You scumbag, you're finished!!"

……

the other side.

Witnessing the entire confrontation between the man and the woman, Lu Qian and Chen Yufei were both quite astonished.

True heroes and heroines of the martial world.

Society, society.

"Sigh, these days, you can encounter weirdos no matter where you are."

Chen Yufei picked up the fruit and flower tea that the waiter had just brought her and shook her head slightly.

Then he sighed softly, "We've really gotten a juicy story right here, with this scumbag guy going up against this scumbag girl."

"I've really stumbled upon some juicy gossip."

Lu Qian chuckled and chimed in, "If you ask me, this is clearly a gold digger meeting a playboy—a natural nemesis."

"Sea King? Fishing for a girl?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yufei paused, a hint of confusion appearing in her clear eyes: "What do you mean?"

As a heiress who grew up in a top-tier wealthy family, she couldn't even understand the word Lu Qian was using.

"Uh, this..."

Lu Qian then remembered that in 2014, the terms "sea king" and "gold digger" were not yet popular on the Internet, and no one understood what these two terms meant.

He smiled and waved his hand vaguely: "It's nothing, just a new term to describe insincere feelings between men and women."

"I just observed that the man and woman were not very wealthy. The man was probably casting a wide net, hoping to find a rich woman or a girl with good conditions so he could work less for a few years."

"And that woman..."

"Look at her, she looks ordinary dressed, but that bag is a high-quality replica. If you look closely, you can see the differences in the stitching and hardware. When she sat down, her eyes kept scanning her surroundings, especially looking at the watches and car keys of the other male customers..."

"I guess she was trying to hook up with a really rich guy in this high-barrier place, but it turned out that two people with the same idea of ​​getting something for nothing bumped into each other."

"Isn't this just a case of 'like begets like,' or 'a mouse's son knows how to dig a hole'?"

"..."

"It seems that's indeed the case..."

Here, Chen Yufei followed Lu Qian's analysis and recalled the words and actions of the man and woman from earlier. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it made perfect sense. She couldn't help but admire Lu Qian's keen observation and worldly wisdom once again.

"I never expected that this junior, at such a young age, would not only be so good at business, but also have such keen observation skills about the people around him..."

The longer Chen Yufei spent with Lu Qian, the more she realized that this younger brother was not simple.

He's definitely better than those rich second-generation suitors around her; he truly deserves to be called a high-quality human being.

Thinking of this, she looked at him half-teasingly and half-probingly, and immediately put her newly learned skills to use: "You know so much, are you perhaps a player yourself?"

Chen Yufei thought that Lu Qian was a smooth talker and knew how to make girls happy, so it wasn't impossible that he was involved.

So I just made a joke about it.

"I'm innocent, senior!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qian immediately protested, his expression exaggerated, but his eyes were bright. "I'm an innocent young man, and I can prove it to you."

Slander, pure and simple slander, okay?

I've never even kissed a girl on the lips, how can I possibly defile her purity?

Nonsense.

He quickly spoke up to clarify.

"Oh? How do you prove it?"

Hearing Lu Qian's words, Chen Yufei became interested. She leaned forward slightly and looked at him with great interest, wanting to see what tricks this little rascal could come up with this time.

"Of course you can, look!"

Lu Qian reached into his bag, rummaged around for a bit, and then pulled out a cup of milk tea.

It was the cup that Shen Xinyi had given him that evening.

He hadn't drunk the milk tea; he kept it in the side pocket of his well-insulated backpack. He never expected it would come in handy now.

He naturally pushed the cup of milk tea in front of Chen Yufei: "Here, this is the milk tea I bought for you on the way here."

"?"

Chen Yufei was visibly taken aback when she saw the milk tea that had suddenly appeared in front of her.

What does drinking milk tea for himself have to do with proving his innocence?

I was immediately confused.

I subconsciously reached out and touched the inside of the cup.

——Warm.

It's not icy.

This detail made her instantly understand something.

Goodness, isn't this just a way of teasing me?

But when she thought about how this little brother had actually gone out of his way to buy her milk tea, Chen Yufei was quite touched and felt too embarrassed to complain.

She looked up at Lu Qian and asked, "Did you buy this especially for me?"

Her voice was softer than before.

Lu Qian nodded with a "sincere" expression: "Of course, senior, you've helped me so much, isn't it only right that I treat you to a cup of milk tea?"

I wasn't the one who paid for or bought it, but the sentiment of keeping it warm was genuine!

"..."

Looking at his handsome face, which seemed to say "I'm very sincere," and then at the warm milk tea in her hand, Chen Yufei felt a warmth wash over her.

Whether or not he just bought the milk tea, this thoughtful gesture in the details felt very considerate on a slightly chilly autumn night.

Moreover, this was the first cup of milk tea she had in autumn!

A beautiful smile curved his lips: "I didn't realize you were such a sweetheart."

"Senior, I kindly bought you milk tea, how could you cricket at me?"

"???"

Chen Yufei was a little lost in Lu Qian's train of thought, but she didn't think too much about it.

She found that when she was with Lu Qian, her emotions would always jump back and forth between surprise and amusement and admiration and tenderness, and her mood would improve without her even realizing it.

However, Lu Qian was in a bad mood.

Do you understand what "warm guy" means when he's with a dog?

I'd rather die than be a "nice guy," so don't label me like that anymore!

"Alright, alright, that's enough joking around."

Chen Yufei's smile faded, and she temporarily put the milk tea aside: "Let's get down to business. I've looked at the recipes you gave my dad. We can discuss the details and specific procedures later. What I'm more curious about now is your market positioning for these products, and what your competitive advantage is in terms of customer profiles?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qian straightened his expression and said, "My core focus is mainly on young people and the elderly."

"Oh?" Chen Yufei raised an eyebrow in surprise; this was quite different from what she had expected.

"I thought you would focus on the middle-aged or children's market. After all, middle-aged people are the backbone of social consumption, with strong purchasing power and a focus on health. As for children, they are the main force in the snack market, and the market prospects are also very broad."

At this point, Chen Yufei looked at Lu Qian with some confusion and said calmly, "In my opinion, young people and the elderly don't seem to be the core consumers of traditional snacks right now. Why did you choose this market segment?"

She was shocked to hear that the current customer positioning was being monitored, and immediately asked a question in return.

"Senior, this is a limitation of thinking."

Lu Qian laughed and said, "Let me ask you, have you ever heard of 'simp economy'?"

Looking into those clear, foolish eyes, he decided to teach this young lady a lesson.

"?"

Chen Yufei heard a new term and shook her head in confusion: "What is a 'licking dog'? Is it related to dogs?"

"Haha, it's not a real dog."

Lu Qian patiently explained, "This is an analogy. Let me give you a simple example of foreign capital entering our domestic market, and you'll probably understand the principle behind this logic."

"During the period when our country opened up to the outside world, foreign capital poured into our market. At first, their marketing target was young men in our country, because they were the highest-income group at the time. This naturally gave them the illusion that they were the main consumers."

"But these foreign investors soon discovered that directly making money from men is sometimes quite difficult."

"Our own men are more willing to spend their money on games, digital products, or themselves, and are not interested in the conceptual products that they market, so they quickly suffered a Waterloo."

"But they quickly discovered that if they could generate a strong desire to consume among women, then men who wanted to pursue and please them would be willing to pay for it."

"So following this logic, we first stimulate women's consumption desires, and then drive men's consumption to shift, which forms an economic model of 'women consume, men pay the bill,' which is what we just jokingly called the 'simp economy.'"

"..."

"I think I understand now..."

Chen Yufei is a smart person; she understands things immediately.

"So, a 'simp' is what's called... a humble suitor?"

She seemed thoughtful: "You mean...to leverage the potential male purchasing power behind young women by influencing them?"

"Bingo!"

Lu Qian snapped his fingers: "So, senior, think about it, what is the main selling point of our 'healthy and sugar-free' milk tea and low-calorie snacks?"

"Delicious without being fattening," "Healthy and easy," "A must-have for self-disciplined girls"...

"As long as we accurately target young women who crave food but are afraid of gaining weight and pursue a refined lifestyle, we can arouse their shopping desires."

"When we hype this trend up and make it a symbol of 'self-discipline' and 'self-love,' what will guys who want to please girls do?"

"Do you think they'll choose to send milk tea or snacks, or will they send something from a 'sophisticated' new high-end health brand like ours?"

"Isn't this a ready-made, massive market for 'simps'?"

"..."

As Chen Yufei listened, her fingers unconsciously tapped lightly on the table, her eyes gleaming.

Lu Qian's perspective on the market company was very sharp.

He broke free from the traditional framework of snack positioning, leveraging the dual psychology of "pleasing oneself" and "pleasing others" in human nature to construct an interconnected consumption chain.

Admittedly, this approach is very clear and has a lot of room for implementation.

Moreover, it's not hard to understand; if you think about it now, you'll quickly accept this logic.

There is indeed a lot of room for maneuver.

After understanding this logic, even the proud and arrogant Chen family heiress was somewhat convinced.

This idea not only has its own logical framework and understanding of the market, but it is also somewhat disruptive.

Before this, no one had ever mentioned the term "simp economy" in front of Chen Yufei. Now, hearing Lu Qian say it, it seemed like a huge pie in the sky, and the thought was terrifying...

He couldn't help but praise Lu Qian, saying, "Brilliant, truly brilliant."

"Your logic for the youth market is very mature, and I think it definitely has the potential to succeed."

The girl was immediately intrigued by Lu Qian's remarks and quickly continued to ask, "I remember you just mentioned that the target market wasn't just young people, but also the elderly market."

"But as far as I know, older people generally don't accept snacks very well, and they tend to buy traditional tonics for their health and wellness needs. So how do you plan to get these older people to buy our products?"

Hearing Lu Qian's analysis, the young lady was clearly intrigued.

Her body leans slightly forward, and her cleavage is faintly visible.

My eyes are filled with a thirst for knowledge.

"No, no, no, the elderly are actually a major consumer force in the market."

"It's just that this key area hasn't been developed yet."

Looking at the young lady in front of him, Lu Qian smiled and said unhurriedly:

"This is the second key point I want to make: the silver economy."
