Chapter 46 - 46 We Want to Be An Entrepreneur Couple In The Future!
Luo Feng cleared his throat: “What did you call me?”
“Darling~”
“You repeated the term.”
“…Hubby,” Ai Tingya said sweetly. “Hurry up and tell me. Otherwise, class will start.”
Luo Feng continued, “Currently, the milk tea on the market is basically made of milk tea powder. It’s all chemical, and you’ll get tired of it after drinking it a few times.”
Ai Tingya nodded in agreement. She had always been puzzled that a cup of milk tea made from powder in the shop would actually cost three yuan! The juice powder she bought for eight yuan was enough for the entire orphanage to drink for two days. Luo Feng had bought her a cup before, and she didn’t want to drink it again after drinking it once.
“Our shop has to use fresh milk, fresh fruits, cream, and so on. We definitely have to use real materials if we take the high-end route. Only then would the customers feel at ease when they see it and pay. What’s more, shop assistants can quickly get used to it after simple training, saving the salary of a professional pastry chef. We can also launch new products every quarter to constantly attract our customers.”
Luo Feng thought about the dazzling array of milk tea brands in the future. Xing Miaomiao liked to try new stuff when he was with her in his previous life. She would try every new product launch and throw it to Luo Feng after taking a sip.
During that period of time, Luo Feng’s face was clearly round. It was more than enough for him to be a milk tea evaluator. It was too easy for him to pick a few hot favorites.
“You’re so awesome!” Ai Tingya was stunned. “I didn’t know you had such a business mind.”
Ai Tingya and Dean Du were worried that Luo Feng thought business was too easy last night. In fact, they underestimated Luo Feng! He was completely a business genius with great foresight!
Luo Feng was overjoyed by the praise and continued, “This is nothing. We have to expand its scale and influence after the milk tea shop is officially on track!”
“What influence?” Ai Tingya did not understand how a drink could affect anything.
“The brand’s influence, silly girl. Create a brand with a story. I thought that since we started with drinks, we can start from the food industry and expand. In the future, we’ll be Luo Feng and Wife entrepreneurs. We can cross over to other industries after we make enough profits…”
“Luo Feng and Wife…” Ai Tingya blushed and couldn’t listen to the rest.
“It’s fine if you like Ai Tingya and Husband better. I’m perfectly happy to be a freeloader.” Luo Feng said mischievously.
Ai Tingya felt even more embarrassed. She felt so dizzy that she seemed to be floating in the clouds. The business map that Luo Feng had built was too far away for her, but husband and wife seemed to be a matter in front of her.
“Let’s do as you say. I want to earn money, a lot of money to support you!” Ai Tingya was full of fighting spirit and was prepared to go all out.
Luo Feng thought to himself that this girl was too easily excitable seeing her gusto.
Actually, Luo Feng did not explain clearly that the cost of using real materials would be much higher compared to the milk tea powder condensed from technology.
Milk tea shops that competed in the future might also use fruit-flavored gel and various powders, but those were commercial products that only appeared after the industry formed. They were very rare on the market.
However, Luo Feng wasn’t afraid of losing money. A small milk tea shop couldn’t accommodate his ambition. He had to build up his brand even if he had to support it!
“Then what should we name our milk tea shop?” Ai Tingya said excitedly.
“Tingya Milk Tea?”
“F*ck you, I’m being serious!” Ai Tingya said shyly. “We have to think of a name that will make people’s eyes light up. It has to be worthy of your shop renovation! Also, it has to have a very good meaning, the kind that can make people smile. What do you think about it being called Green Orange Time? Or Wings of Black Tea. It’s very youthful. Young people will definitely like it!”
Ai Tingya became animated as she expressed her thoughts. She was always as calm as the lake, perhaps because of her childhood. Occasionally, the breeze would cause a little ripple before disappearing without a trace, so Luo Feng liked to tease her.
Luo Feng felt that everything he did was worth it now that he saw how energetic she was, like a flower covered in dew in the morning.
“No, no! These names are not good. You have to think of a name for your milk tea shop!” Ai Tingya said seriously.
“Name it. I’ll listen to you.”
“No!” Ai Tingya said solemnly. “You have to name it!”
“Hm…” Luo Feng thought about it and said, “If we want a foundation… then let’s call it ‘Good Me’!”
“Huh? Good Me… Isn’t it too simple?” Ai Tingya was a little surprised, thinking that Luo Feng would give her an ear-piercing name.
Luo Feng said affirmatively, “Let’s settle on this name. It can directly show that we sell milk tea1. It’s easy to remember and has a strong foundation. It’s easy to make up… ah no… to tell the brand story in the future.”
“Alright, it’s indeed a good name.” Ai Tingya smiled sweetly.
There was still a hint of foolishness in this fangirl’s admiration. Luo Feng helplessly stroked her head. How did this silly girl become a female CEO in the future? She believed everything he said, and she suffered a loss because of her age.
However, her strong self-esteem hasn’t changed at all no matter her age. Luo Feng had no choice but to give up on losing money and start a milk tea brand.
Previously, he thought that life in Third High School was a little boring. Now, he really had something to do.
…
Dean Du chose many shops, but they were all not satisfactory. The rent on the high-traffic commercial street was ridiculously high, and the low-end places with fewer rents were not good.
She was especially cautious when looking for a place since Luo Feng was going to pay for it. She couldn’t make up her mind after being overcautious. She still couldn’t find a suitable location after looking around for two or three days.
In the end, it was Luo Feng who made the decision to find a shop near their high school. Students were the main force for milk tea consumption after all.
She left the search for the shop to Luo Feng and Ai Tingya, who were nearby. Dean Du went to contact the raw materials supplier and the renovation team. She could lower the cost to a very low level with her status as the Dean of the orphanage.
Luo Feng and Ai Tingya had class during the day, so they could only take advantage of the time when they were eating to look for sublet shops nearby.
“It’s not as easy as I thought.” Ai Tingya pounded her sore legs and looked at her watch. It was almost time for evening self-study again. They would have to go back empty-handed again today.
“It’s too easy to earn money from students. There are too few subletters. We have to search carefully.”
Luo Feng looked at the crowded shops around him and felt troubled. This matter would be much easier to handle if he had an acquaintance who understood the situation.
The two of them held hands and looked at the shops one by one.
“What are you two doing here? It’s almost time for evening self-study.” Just as the two of them were in a dilemma, Teacher Yu rode on the electric scooter station by the roadside and looked at the two of them in confusion.
