“Mhm, it’s been pretty good,” she said.
She really couldn’t understand why he always asked this.
Come on, when has our Starbucks ever had bad business?
There’s no reason for our business to be bad!
Cheng Zhu heard her and glanced around, then smiled and nodded slightly without saying much.
While waiting for his coffee to be made, his gaze continued to sweep over the surroundings.
Starbucks, as usual, had quite a few people sitting around with laptops, sipping on coffee while fiddling with their computers.
“Judging by the size, this store is actually a lot bigger than my milk tea shop, possibly even more than half?” he estimated.
“The interior space is larger, and there are more tables and chairs.”
“If business gets really good, just the line inside the store would be able to hold quite a few people.”
“Unlike my shop, you can’t even stand inside, so when it’s time to queue, people will have to stand outside!”
“The main attraction is the spectacle!”
The cashier at this Starbucks was deep inside the store, a good distance from the front door, practically against the wall.
Not like Cheng Zhu’s design, where the ordering area was just a few steps away from the door.
This was a sassy move later adopted by many popular milk tea shops.
This way, it was very easy for the line to “accidentally” extend outside of the store.
You didn’t need many people to create an effect, “Wow, is this shop’s business that booming? The queue is out the door, there’s no room inside!”
There’s actually a lot of thought behind the small details in running a business.
The design of this Starbucks was clearly that of a standard store.
We’re different.
We have more “dirty tricks!”
After the coffee was ready, Cheng Zhu didn’t open it to drink, instead, he packed both cups together.
Carrying the Starbucks bag, he strolled leisurely into his own construction site.
Several clerks watched his retreating figure, all a bit unclear about what he was up to, what was he thinking?
He always buys a cup of coffee when he comes here, as if he’s a loyal fan of our shop!
So weird, if you like Starbucks that much, why don’t you just find a way to spend money on opening a Starbucks somewhere else?
Why would you think of opening your own milk tea shop right next to your favorite coffee shop?
Don’t get it, just don’t get it!
At the Youu Tea construction site, Foreman Zhang Guodong had already been waiting for quite some time.
Cheng Zhu came over today to make decisions on some of the details on-site.
After all, the design is one thing, the construction drawings another, but the actual site work could be something else entirely because of various objective reasons, and it might not be possible to do everything exactly as it appears on the drawings.
Some experienced foremen also would interfere and modify the construction plans, feeling that some aspects shouldn’t be done that way.
Sometimes, you might even see designers and foremen butting heads on site…
After a few face-to-face discussions with Cheng Zhu, Foreman Zhang Guodong found that despite this young man’s age, he had his own ideas, was very efficient at getting things done, and didn’t hesitate; he usually made decisions on the spot.
However, he also felt this man was very stubborn, always going by his own thoughts.
Don’t talk to me about design or experience, just do as I say!
He was the absolute dictator in this shop.
After quickly syncing up at the construction site, Cheng Zhu left.
He was satisfied with the renovation progress.
Very efficient, could even be described as extremely so!
No choice, our Little Lu, the overseer, would suddenly pop into the site every few days, each time sending Cheng Zhu a selfie as her site check-in photo.
There were wood shavings, dust, and strange smells… She always wore a mask and lingered there for a long time each visit.
As for this, Lin Lu didn’t feel tired at all, on the contrary, she found it interesting and fulfilling.
“In about half a month, we should be reaching the final stage,” Cheng Zhu thought to himself.
This was even earlier than the time he had agreed upon with the mall.
A high-end mall like Star City certainly dislikes a shop taking its sweet time with renovations, as it disturbs the overall harmony, and looks unsightly, affecting the operations of other stores.
What’s more, Cheng Zhu’s shop was right in the foyer by the main entrance.
So, clearly, the mall would have a specific timeline agreed upon with the shop owners.
Some shop owners don’t mind the loss of rent and just want to take their time.
The mall may not always tolerate that.
Thus, Cheng Zhu went about thinking of the specifics of his business while strolling on the first floor of Star City.
Yes, he didn’t go straight back to his car but began to explore the shops.
Star City, as a high-end mall in Hang City, certainly has many luxury brands on the first floor.
Cheng Zhu’s shopping efficiency was high; it wasn’t long before he emerged with a shopping bag, accompanied by a salesgirl.
In addition, the salesgirl took the initiative to add his WeChat.
This handsome guy came in and spent just a few minutes to make a purchase, never asking for the price before paying, just saying he’d take the item.
That’s obviously a hallmark of the wealthy!
It’s worth mentioning that many luxury brand salesgirls are attractive in both looks and figure.
The one Cheng Zhu just friended was just such a person.
