Reborn in 1990: My Family Store Leads to the Future

Lu Yuan was used to saying nice things to people, so he calmly replied to the other party and then left without looking back.

The girl was left stunned until another customer came to buy something, at which point she came to her senses and put the money away.

The Honghe Hotel is a relatively well-known hotel in the area, though it can't compare to the Peace Hotel, but its prices are still quite high.

It costs twenty yuan a night.

Lu Yuan went to the front desk and did the same thing. After taking out a few large bills, Lu Yuan found Boss Niu's room.

3rd floor, room 307.

Lu Yuan slowly walked up, knocked on the door, and only spoke after receiving a response from inside.

"Boss Niu, this is Lu Yuan. We've talked before."

"Is it you?"

Boss Niu had some impression of Lu Yuan, mainly because Qi Qiang had said that he and Lu Yuan were friends.

But Boss Niu is a man of many experiences, so how could he not understand that the attitude and manner between Qi Qiang and Lu Yuan are not what one would expect between friends?

Only then did he pay more attention to Lu Yuan.

He had hoped to have more opportunities to get to know each other in the future, but after the words were already on the tip of his tongue, he decided to suppress the idea for the time being.

He simply shook his head helplessly as he looked at the person in front of him.

"You are not Qi Qiang's friend."

"Qi Qiang and I are friends. I heard that Boss Niu came here to find someone to cooperate with, so I wanted to have a good chat with you."

Lu Yuan quickly replied with a smile.

Boss Niu let Lu Yuan in, poured himself a glass of water, and then sat down.

"Your friend is quite interesting. The way they talk and talk doesn't seem like friendship. And now they're trying to steal the deal?"

"Don't overthink it. I just want to see what you think. Since you're looking for cooperation anyway, why not consider cooperating with me?"

Lu Yuan smiled but didn't explain the relationship between the two. In his opinion, the relationship between the two couldn't be considered that of friends at all.

If given the chance, he might actually crush Qi Qiang.

He just wanted to avoid the tragic ending that Boss Niu had in his previous life, and cooperating with him would be the best way.

Upon hearing this, Boss Niu was even more surprised, and at the same time, he became even more curious about what had happened between Lu Yuan and Qi Qiang that made the two of them so hostile.

What benefits would I get from cooperating with you?

Boss Niu is a businessman, and as such, there are certain things he cares about.

interest.

If the long distance allows Boss Niu to earn more money, then this collaboration is not without a chance.

Lu Yuan pointed to himself and said.

"Boss Niu has been in Shanghai for quite some time now, you should have heard of Friendship Supermarket and Snow King Milk Tea. What do you think of them?"

Boss Niu was taken aback, not expecting the other party to suddenly ask this question.

He had also learned about Friendship Supermarket and Snow King Milk Tea, and even bought their products there, which did give him a novel experience.

After thinking for a moment, he gave a fairly normal answer.

"I've never seen these two shops before in other places, but based on what I've discovered so far, they've given me a very surprising feeling."

"I really want to see what kind of people the owners of these two stores are."

"If I offered you a chance to collaborate, would you be willing?"

Lu Yuan looked at him and asked a question.

Boss Niu didn't quite understand what he meant, but if it was about cooperating with Lu Yuan, he wouldn't mind. After a brief hesitation, he nodded and said.

"If we can cooperate, that would be the best, but I asked Qi Qiang to investigate. He said the owner of Friendship Supermarket is not a good person and he's not a very nice person. He also couldn't find him."

Boss Niu had some unspoken words, namely his dislike for his partner's dishonesty. What might seem like a trivial matter was actually something he cared deeply about.

If a businessman cannot even uphold the most basic integrity, even if he manages to gain some wealth and profit by chance, he will eventually lose it all.

Lu Yuan was speechless upon hearing this. He had thought that Qi Qiang wouldn't help him get business, but he hadn't expected the guy to be so bored.

To speak ill of someone behind their back.

Looking at the young man in front of him, Boss Niu said, "There's a saying in business: 'A young man with no experience is unreliable.' It doesn't mean that young people can't be bosses."

Rather, it's because young people lack composure in their actions and are prone to becoming complacent with even the smallest achievements, ultimately losing more than they gain.

He saw Lu Yuan as such a person, and he spoke with great difficulty.

"Mr. Lu, what do you mean by this?"

Lu Yuan pointed to himself and said.

"I'm the owner of those two shops you mentioned. I wonder if there's any chance we could collaborate?"

When he said this, Boss Niu, who had been expressionless, showed a look of surprise and looked at him with a helpless expression.

Lu Yuan knew that his words might not be very convincing, but in order to make the person in front of him understand that he was not talking nonsense, he could only shrug and say it.

"Don't look at me like that. You don't need to doubt me on this point. I am indeed the owner of these stores."

Lu Yuan pointed to himself and continued speaking with great confidence.

"I know you have a misunderstanding about me. It's because Qi Qiang and I have a little conflict, but it's just between the two of us and doesn't involve business."

"I see."

The doubts in Boss Niu's mind were immediately resolved. He looked at Lu Yuan in front of him again, a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

He gently shook his head and said.

"Although I don't know what conflict you have with Qi Qiang, I've already decided to cooperate with him, and his imported food is quite good, which is an opportunity I can't miss."

"I believe that the reason Mr. Niu chose to come to the mainland is definitely not because he is interested in imported products. As you know, the products in my store are the best choice for cooperation."

Lu Yuan hurriedly spoke up.

His confidence only made Boss Niu feel a little unreliable. Looking at the person in front of him, he shook his head slightly and continued.

"You're too confident. There is indeed a huge market in mainland China, but that market is just an illusion. Moreover, the products are not mature enough, and hygiene cannot be guaranteed. That's why I gave up."

"Besides, your shop doesn't seem very big, I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet my requirements."

Boss Niu wasn't too keen on cooperating with Lu Yuan, and Lu Yuan didn't press the issue.

"Qi Qiang is a good person. Although he is a bit arrogant, I believe he will be a good partner. If you are willing to continue working with me, you can come to the store to find me."
