Eight Zero: I was born again after the divorce

Su Zhiqiang's small shop under the bridge has been open for more than three years. The business is doing well, which is better than working part-time. However, it is too hard. Day and night are reversed, and he often has to drink with customers, which is very harmful to the body.

When Ye Zhen's car arrived, the door of the shop was ajar, and Su Zhiqiang was carrying vegetables back to the shop from his scooter.

"Hey, Xiao Wan, Ye Zhen, you two are here."

On a cold day, Su Zhiqiang, wearing only a thin shirt, laughed while watching the two of them get out of the car.

"Brother, are you busy? I was just passing by to see you."

"Come in and sit for a while."

Su Zhiqiang invited the two of them to the small shop, and brewed a pot of preserved tea himself.

Su Wan smiled and said, "Brother, will it delay your opening for business?"

Su Zhiqiang: "If you open the door later, it will be a big deal."

The three of them sat and chatted for a while. Su Zhiqiang scratched his head and said, "Xiaowan, look, how about I open a cafe?"

Open a coffee shop?
From a small barbecue joint to a cafe!
Amelia Su looked at him in surprise, "Do you understand this?"

Su Zhiqiang chuckled, "I think they are driving pretty well."

Su Wan: "???"

Who are they?

Did he just look at it on the street, or did someone he knew do it?

Su Wan: "Actually, your idea is quite good." Nowadays, there are not many cafes on the street, and they are mainly for high-end ones, and ordinary people cannot consume them for a long time, but with the development of society, there is a great demand for them.

Ye Zhen also asked: "Do you have any ideas? What kind of cafe do you want to open?"

Su Zhiqiang: "That's right, the appearance doesn't need to be too big, the main thing is takeaway, the price is cheaper, let's take the popular route."

In fact, he didn't think much about it, he just...

Su Zhiqiang smiled and said, "If you think it's not possible, forget it."

He is a rough old man with little education. Thinking about it, he is really not suitable for such tasteful business.

Ye Zhen said: "No, your idea is very good, I think it is feasible."

Mainly engaged in takeout, reducing costs and consuming quickly, popularizing high-end coffee for the common people.

Ye Zhen: "Brother Qiang, in this way, I invest and you do it. The two of us will hold half of the equity."

When Su Zhiqiang heard this, he panicked, "Am I really good at this? Do you really want to invest? Ye Zhen, I won't waste your money! You also know that I haven't studied for a few years and stayed in it for so long. Nothing.

Take this cafe for example. I just saw it being run well and thought it was clean and decent, but I had no idea how to actually do it. "

Su Zhiqiang was a little nervous, he really just said that.

Ye Zhen: "It's okay, I will find someone to help you in the early stage, and I will follow up with you in the future. Let's work together to create a coffee brand that is close to the people."

This is directly to bring him into the industry.

Su Zhiqiang was excited and nervous. He said: "If I really want to do it, I will definitely be honest and go all out. But Ye Zhen, you have to think about it seriously. If this plan works, it will work. If it doesn't, it won't work. Don't worry about us. In order to save the face of my relatives, they deliberately spent money to coax me."

Su Zhiqiang knew very well that for Ye Zhen, the small amount of money invested in a small store was nothing.

He still has no idea what Ye Zhen means by how much investment the chain and brand need.

Su Wan smiled and said, "Brother, Ye Zhen doesn't know how to coax people in business, as long as he says it's good, it's good, you have to believe in yourself."

It was obvious that Ye Zhen was taking this matter seriously. He said it was feasible because he agreed with Su Zhiqiang's idea and felt that this business could develop.Su Zhiqiang rubbed his hands and looked at Ye Zhen expectantly: "Really?"

Ye Zhen nodded, "Yes, I am optimistic about your idea."

Su Zhiqiang breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I will go and find out about the purchase channels and store location."

Ye Zhen shook her head, "What to do next, I will arrange for someone from the development department to contact you. Brother Qiang, you just need to transfer this small store out as soon as possible and prepare to start the next new business."

"Oh, this, oh, that's good."

Su Zhiqiang was stunned for a while, feeling a sense of excitement and expectation that he was about to enter a new world.

After sending Ye Zhen and Su Wan away, Su Zhiqiang walked around the door twice excitedly, then went to the back kitchen to talk to the aunt in the kitchen, opened the door an hour late, and went upstairs to change into a black leather jacket. Got on his scooter and went out.

He rode for more than ten minutes to a nearby large shopping mall, put the car away, and went to the back of the shopping mall.

There is a high-end coffee shop on the first floor of the mall, which provides private rooms and booths. In addition to selling coffee, it also sells some simple snacks, breads and cakes.

The cafe's operation room is at the back of the mall.

Su Zhiqiang came to the window of the cafe's back kitchen, took a look inside, and called softly: "He Xia, He Xia."

He Xia, who was busy at the sink, turned her head, saw Su Zhiqiang, and came to the window, "What are you doing, aren't you busy today?" That's the point.

"Busy, why aren't you busy? I just want to tell you something."

Su Zhiqiang's smile blossomed, and the fine lines at the corners of his eyes turned into two small creases with his smile. He didn't look old, and his wheat-colored skin and tall and straight figure made him look more mature and friendly.

It is the kind of charm that has been accumulated over time and polished by society.

He Xia smiled and said, "What's going on?"

Su Zhiqiang waved to her.

He Xia washed her hands and went out.

Su Zhiqiang took her aside and said with some pride: "I plan to change my career."

He Xia: "What kind of business?"

Su Zhiqiang whispered: "Open a cafe."

He Xia frowned, "Your barbecue restaurant is closed? Are you going to open a cafe?"

Su Zhiqiang: "Yes. From now on, when I open, you can come to my place to work. You can drink as much coffee as you want."

He Xia: "Is this a problem with drinking coffee? You are stupid. It costs a lot of investment in the early stage, at least tens of thousands, and it doesn't make money so fast. You have to slowly build word of mouth before there will be customers.

And it’s not just that if your goods are good, people will come to your door. You also need to have a circle that can afford coffee.This circle is your network of contacts, and it cannot be established casually. "

He Xia looked him over. He was a good-looking man, but...

"Stop thinking blindly. You can't open a store like a cafe. Just open your barbecue restaurant and expand the store or open two more branches. You can still make money."

Su Zhiqiang was puzzled, "Didn't you say that opening a cafe has good prospects and can make money?" He also said that the coffee with milk was very fragrant and smooth, but it was too expensive and he couldn't bear to drink it.

Now he wants to open a cafe, why should this person object?
Su Zhiqiang: "The initial investment is not a problem. My cousin-in-law is willing to invest."

He Xia sighed, "Why did you drag your cousin-in-law into the water? He is stupid and has a lot of money?"

Su Zhiqiang blinked, "How did you know? He has a lot of money, but he is not stupid at all, he is very powerful."
