Reborn in 1990: My Family Store Leads to the Future

Lu Yuan's voice wasn't loud, but when he said it, everyone present fell silent, shutting their mouths and not wanting to say another word.

Because they knew very well what Lu Yuan was going to say next.

At this moment, Lu Qin, feeling somewhat unwilling, hurriedly asked a question.

"I have a question. What happens to these milk teas if we're not delivering them outside?"

"You drank it."

Lu Yuan pointed to the milk tea and said something.

The five people present were stunned when they heard this, and their faces were full of reluctance. Lu Qin wanted to refute it, but after taking a sip of the lemonade she had made, she quickly put it down.

There's too much sugar in it; you really shouldn't do it this way.

She stopped herself from saying what she was about to say and changed her words.

"Why don't you drink it slowly? There's not much anyway..."

"Alright, anyway, I'll say it again: I've already given you the method, so your task for the next two days is to practice how to make milk tea. If you fail, drink some yourself; don't waste it."

Lu Yuan doesn't have high expectations for his employees, so it's normal for them to make mistakes occasionally. But it's practice, so we can't let them practice for nothing.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qin paused for a moment, then quickly replied.

"Boss, how about we try another approach?"

"Okay, then let's change it to pay for each failure?"

Lu Yuan asked a question in return.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone who thought he should do it immediately shook their heads and said no, it would be better to just drink it.

Lu Qin, holding her lemonade, sat across from Lu Yuan, took a sip and felt much more refreshed, then asked a question.

"Boss Lu, why do you say we can't deliver these? We make all of these ourselves. If we deliver them, it won't have that much of an impact, and maybe other people will come and buy our milk tea."

She was used to calling Lu Yuan "Boss Lu" and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. On the contrary, she quite liked the way she addressed him, and Lu Yuan didn't mind either.

He pointed to the milk tea and said.

"Giving things away for free will only have one outcome: these people who were originally potential customers will think that you will give them away again next time, so why should they buy them if you're giving them away for free?"

"Could this be?"

Lu Qin was a little skeptical.

Lu Yuan countered with a question: "What do you think of lemonade?"

"It's delicious and not too sweet, with a perfect balance of sweet and sour. If I had a cup of this on a hot summer day, it would be absolutely wonderful."

"So you'd drink it for free every day?"

Lu Yuan asked another question at this point.

Lu Qin was about to answer yes instinctively, but then she froze.

As for the others, they also realized this and were stunned on the spot.

Because this perspective and direction of thinking was something they had never considered before.

Once people around them get used to the free milk tea, it will become a habit, which will not only cause them to lose some customers, but may even offend people.

It's better not to give it away in the first place than to give it away as a gift.

Lu Qin looked at the person in front of her again, blinked, and realized that the person in front of her was completely different from what she had imagined.

She really couldn't understand why someone with such amazing insights as Lu Yuan had remained so unknown.

"Boss Lu, you really surprise me every time."

"I'll take that as a compliment, but instead of talking to me like this, you should first figure out how to handle things here."

Lu Yuan looked at the group of people who were learning to make milk tea, clapped his hands, and said.

"Given the varying levels of learning and mastery among everyone, I've decided to temporarily appoint Lu Qin as the assistant store manager. Hu Lili will be the store manager. You can talk to them about anything you need to know."

He shared his thoughts and plans, then looked at the others with a smile.

And for the others who are busy, it doesn't really matter.

They couldn't deny Lu Qin's excellence.

When Lu Qin heard this, her face showed not joy, but a hint of surprise.

"You didn't plan this all along, did you? That I was specifically assigned to handle this."

"Hmm, why wouldn't I use someone as talented as you?"

Lu Yuan smiled at him, making no attempt to hide his thoughts.

This was a form of recognition for her, but Lu Qin didn't feel particularly happy. Instead, she felt like a tangerine that had been sold.

Lu Yuan didn't think too much about it and continued to explain with a smile.

"However, you have a lot to do. You will need to lead them to work for the next three days. Also, the milk tea shop is tentatively scheduled to be open all year round. It's not that everyone can't take a break, but the break times need to be staggered. I'll have to trouble you to explain this to everyone."

"The scheduling will also be handled by you. In addition, you will also need to take care of the opening ceremony. Remember to discuss it with Hu Lili so that I don't have to spend any more time on it."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qin felt a headache coming on, because at this moment, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have misunderstood something from the very beginning.

Isn't this just being a hands-off manager?

She didn't care about the boss, slammed her hand on the table, and asked anxiously.

"Wait a minute, you're the boss. If you don't get involved in all this and leave everything to me, what are you supposed to be doing now?"

"To generate buzz and promote the brand, so that more people will know about Snow King."

Lu Yuan said with a smile.

He hasn't rested at all in the past two weeks and has also done some activities.

Lu Qin also heard about some of Lu Yuan's stories. After understanding what these stories were, he realized what had happened and nodded repeatedly, quite pleased.

"I understand what you mean, then I will try my best to do this well."

"Um."

"I trust you."

After explaining these things, Lu Yuan returned to Friendship Supermarket and gave Hu Lili some instructions.

The reason Hu Lili was put in charge was because although she was not as old as Sui Tingting, she was someone who could make up her mind.

Moreover, unlike Sui Tingting, she wouldn't subconsciously feel inferior to Lu Qin and be led astray.

Hu Lili nodded after hearing his arrangement.

"Don't worry, brother, I definitely won't let you down."

"Yes, I believe you."

Then he looked at Sui Tingting and spoke.

"Don't think too highly of yourself. Didn't I ask you to prepare the raffle tickets before? Haven't you already prepared them?"

"Everything's settled, boss. What's next?"

Sui Tingting took out a few lottery boxes that had been prepared in advance and asked with some curiosity.

Lu Yuan stroked his chin and said with a smile, "The Snow King promotional event starts tomorrow and will last for three days until the Snow King Milk Tea opens."
