Reborn in 1990: My Family Store Leads to the Future

Lu Yuan sat on a bench on the street with a glass of lemonade, watching people come and go, sitting quietly without saying a word.

Lu Qin, who was standing to the side, was drinking milk tea and showed a rare hint of laziness.

If you didn't know the relationship between the two, you might misunderstand their identities.

Lu Yuan glanced at her and asked.

What are your thoughts on this store?

"You're asking me this question?"

Lu Qin was genuinely a little surprised.

Although she hadn't been there long, she could already tell who Lu Yuan truly trusted.

Therefore, she felt from the beginning that it was unlikely that Lu Yuan would take her advice.

It's important to understand that although gender equality is advocated today, there are still many companies and individuals who believe that women are inferior to men.

This is one of the reasons why Lu Qin has been trying to prove herself.

Lu Yuan didn't have that many prejudices; in his eyes, there was only the word "talent."

He looked at the person in front of him with a smile and chuckled, "Do you think I won't listen to your opinions just because I don't trust you? I might not do what you say."

"Didn't I just say in the store that you can raise any opinions you have? Whether or not to do it can be discussed separately."

"I feel like we don't have enough options in our shop. Before you came, I tried mixing milk tea with green tea to make a new one..."

"Milk green,"

Upon hearing the beginning, Lu Yuan promptly provided a name.

Lu Qin was quite surprised to be interrupted. She quickly realized what was happening and looked at him as if she had seen a ghost, unable to believe that he had just said those words.

"No... how did you know? Do you know any other methods?"

"Of course, I have all the recipes for things like beating lemons and making mango pomelo sago in my head. The reason I haven't shown them is mainly because I'm worried that you won't be able to learn them, and that I might be too busy to do them."

Lu Yuan smiled and explained why he hadn't taken them all out.

After all, you can't keep bringing out the best things in business. Lu Yuan is pretty sure that if his shop doesn't survive for more than a year, many similar products will emerge.

If he wants to attract more people in the future, he will have to keep launching new products.

Upon hearing his explanation, Lu Qin shook her head slightly: "Are you still thinking that once the customers get tired of it, you can launch new products from time to time to keep sales going?"

"You're right, I did have that thought."

Lu Yuan did not deny it and looked at her.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Lu Qin glanced at Lu Yuan again. She wasn't the kind of girl who kept things to herself; she spoke her mind directly.

"So I've always thought you were strange. There are many things and ideas that I never even considered from the beginning, but you could accurately articulate them even when I had no clue how to form a conclusion. Why is that?"

"It's like you've already planned out how things should develop from the very beginning?"

"Otherwise, how would I be the boss?"

Lu Yuan pointed to himself and boasted a little, which was rare for him.

He put down the lemonade and asked, "I don't believe you've only learned how to make milk tea; you must have other ideas as well."

"Although these recipes are very simple, I believe they will soon become popular throughout Shanghai. At that time, I'm afraid people will learn to make them. Are you planning to open a branch? If so, you can start preparing now."

Lu Qin had a good understanding of Lu Yuan and had seen the potential of Xue Wang Milk Tea. She believed that if she got involved, she would likely reap even greater rewards.

His words carried a hint of anticipation.

However, she was wrong about one thing, and that was Lu Yuan's thoughts.

"There's one thing you can't stop: even if similar shops emerge, even if the recipes are different, as long as they follow the same path as us, their customer traffic will definitely be diverted."

"I've considered this, which is why I want to put the branch on the agenda as soon as possible."

Lu Qin nodded, agreeing with Lu Yuan's point, and she lowered her head to think about it for a moment.

However, they soon encountered a problem: the issue of scale.

In Lu Qin's view, if conditions permit, they should first open dozens of stores in Shanghai, and then expand to the surrounding areas and eventually the whole country.

The idea itself is sound; the only problem is that they can't execute it.

This requires not only a large amount of funding, but also government support, which they cannot do.

Thinking about this, she felt a little troubled.

"But this method has its limitations. I'm afraid that in a year or two, you'll only be able to barely maintain your core business, and you won't have the strength to get a piece of the bigger pie."

"I'm not against your opinion, but I've already thought about how things will develop. I will proactively authorize others to open shops using my name, and I can also give them the recipe and operating methods."

Lu Yuan sees Lu Qin as a colleague, or someone who will help him build his business empire in the future, which is why he is willing to talk to her about these things.

Because Lu Qin needed these things to make her willing to stay by his side.

"They're just copying my ideas and concepts. I can just put my sign here and open a store as long as you pay the franchise fee. I can provide everything from the concept to the recipe. The only requirement is that you source your goods from me..."

"You had this planned from the beginning?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qin sat up abruptly and stared blankly at the person in front of her, asking a question.

"If you have the ability and the idea, why don't you do it?"

"These things can't be rushed. Besides, we need to make a name for ourselves first."

Lu Yuan smiled at her but didn't say anything.

I've already thought about what you're worried about, but all of this is based on the premise that the suggestion of Li Xue Wang milk tea becomes popular.

If you can't even take the first step, everything else is just wishful thinking.

When Lu Qin looked at the person in front of her again, she felt as if she didn't recognize him anymore.

Lu Yuan looked at the person in front of him and asked with a smile, "Now I want to ask you again, are you willing to work for me?"

"I do."

Lu Qin was now truly willing; she felt that as long as she followed Lu Yuan, she would have a promising future.

After getting Lu Qin on board, there were basically no more problems with Xue Wang Milk Tea.

The next two days passed without any major incidents, and Friendship Supermarket had already built up its momentum.

At the Snow King Milk Tea shop, which hadn't opened yet, people kept coming in to ask if it was already open. Eventually, they had to pull up the roller shutter to practice.

Because there weren't many items available at the moment, everyone finished preparing by the second day.

Because it's a milk tea shop, even the fruit can't be prepared in advance; it can only be started the next day. So, on the opening day, Lu Yuan had already come over before dawn to start packing things up.
