111 The Price Of Accepting Investments
Luo Feng stared at Yan Kaize without blinking. He admired this senior very much. As expected of a legendary figure, unique and vicious.
He had to admit that Yan Kaize was right. It was also the direction of the future milk tea industry. To be able to see the future consumption trends in this era and see so many things just by sitting in the shop for two days was indeed very far-sighted.
If Luo Feng had not been reborn, he might not have had Yan Kaize’s unique vision.
Luo Feng wanted to hear Ai Tingya’s opinion seeing that she was listening seriously. “Tingya, what do you think?”
Ai Tingya was stunned when she heard this. She had just come back to her senses and said, “I… I think what Director Yan said makes sense. As for the rest… I think you should make the decision.”
There was too much information. No matter how outstanding Ai Tingya was, she was still a student and couldn’t digest it for a while. And facing a big shot in the industry, she felt that anything she said would be a little childish, so she could only let Luo Feng judge.
Yan Kaize revealed a determined smile. He understood from Luo Feng’s eyes that Luo Feng definitely knew what he was talking about.
He would definitely not refuse!
No matter what, the other party was only a student. No matter how smart and intelligent he was, he would be limited by his knowledge. No one in the entire school would reject his olive branch.
Moreover, he had already released enough sincerity without any deception.
Yan Kaize couldn’t think of any reason why Luo Feng wouldn’t agree.
The milk tea shop was silent, and only the machine on the production table was still working.
The few people who heard this conversation all stared fixedly at Luo Feng, wanting to see how he would react.
w.a.n.g Chen clenched his fists, even more nervous than starting his own business. He was still shouting in his heart, “Agree! What are you still hesitating for? If I have my own milk tea shop, I’ll go up myself! Agree quickly!”
He did not know why he had to shout for his love rival, but the temptation given by Yan Kaize was too great. It was so great that he would feel that it was a pity if anyone did not accept it.
There was a moment of silence.
Luo Feng raised his head and said very seriously, “Thank you for your kindness, Chairman Yan, but forgive me for refusing.”
Yan Kaize’s smile froze at the corners of his mouth, and the muscles on his face seemed to have gone on strike. The smile on his face immediately collapsed.
“What?” The exclamation slipped out.
Yan Kaize suddenly stood up and knocked over the milk tea on the table.
While waiting, Yan Kaize thought of countless possibilities.
He thought about how Luo Feng might excitedly ask him how much he could pay, or bargain with him for the shares, shrewdly calculating every percentage point, or maybe he and Ai Tingya would pretend to consider and say that they wanted to go back and think about it, then agree the next day.
The only thing he didn’t expect was that Luo Feng would refuse!
Is he a fool?
Yan Kaize stared at Luo Feng’s indifferent expression in shock, realizing that he could not see through him.
He was a CEO who manipulated funds. How could he not see through a student?
w.a.n.g Chen, who was sitting at the side, dug his ears and felt like he was hallucinating. He said to his roommate, “Did I hear wrongly? Luo Feng just said no?”
“I heard it too. Maybe we were both hallucinating.”
They would rather believe that there was something wrong with their ears than believe that Luo Feng rejected Yan Kaize.
That’s Yan Kaize they were talking about. Joining him is equivalent to boarding a big ship to Rome. Becoming rich was the most basic guarantee! What was Luo Feng thinking?
Yan Kaize had not expected himself to be so tense.
He coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness, then picked up the milk tea that had fallen to the ground and sat down again.
“I’m sorry, I was rude.” Yan Kaize stared into Luo Feng’s eyes and said seriously, “Do you know what it means to reject me?”
Luo Feng smiled: “I know, the chance to become a multimillionaire. Or to give away the method to get rich to someone else.”
He understood that as long as Yan Kaize wanted to, the operating model of Gu Ming Milk Tea Shop would quickly be replicated. Moreover, it would be like spring bamboo shoots that could take root all over the country overnight.
Good Me’s market compet.i.tiveness would be weakened. Without a powerful backing, it would quickly be squeezed out of the compet.i.tion because of the other party’s powerful forces. In the future, it would only be able to wander around third- or fourth-tier cities.
This was not despicable in business.
If Luo Feng was in Yan Kaize’s shoes, he would do the same for the sake of making money.
However, his goal of opening a milk tea shop was not only to earn money.
The two of them smiled at each other in tacit understanding.
Yan Kaize felt a little frustrated. In all his years of doing business, he had never encountered a situation like Luo Feng’s. “Since you understand everything, why did you reject me? If you can get into Oxford, I believe you’re not a stupid person.”
Luo Feng smiled and shook his head.
He said, “Senior, I know the right answer too well. You invest in me, and I’ll give you results. Where would my results come from? Of course I would have to expand quickly.”
“With money, I can advertise and post photos on the school forum. It’s child’s play. I can rent the largest billboard in the city and let everyone know about my milk tea shop. Or I can hire a famous celebrity to endorse it and make use of the celebrity effect.”
“After getting the popularity up, the branding will be more or less done.”
“Then we can start to expand. How can we expand the fastest? Of course, we have to recruit franchisees. It’s not too much to open ten to twenty franchises in first-tier cities, but seven to eight in second-tier and third-tier cities. One franchise would earn 200,000 yuan, and 100 franchises would earn 20 million yuan!”
“Not only the joining fee, but we can also specially provide raw materials and agree to the renovation style and regular training. This is another considerable income.”
Luo Feng told him the subsequent development direction. This was not a secret.
Yan Kaizw’s expression was complicated as he took a deep breath. What Luo Feng said was exactly what he planned to do. Or perhaps every investor would endeavor to do that.
This was the best way to see the benefits quickly!
When Ai Tingya heard Luo Feng’s words, she grabbed the corner of her shirt uneasily and buried her head deeply. She did not want to look at Yan Kaize, nor at Luo Feng. Her heart was like a stone that could not go up or down. It was very uncomfortable.
Luo Feng noticed the unhappy Ai Tingya. He stroked her hair and continued, “But chairman, there will definitely be a drawback to the rapid expansion.”
“A large number of franchisees not only bring profits, but also difficult to control quality. If the franchisees want to earn money, they will start to cut corners and squeeze the workers. No one can guarantee the quality of milk tea.”
“With our current expansion model, it’s too slow for the capital, right?”
Yan Kaize stared at Luo Feng without saying a word.
Businessmen did everything to make money. He spoke politely so that his business could continue. His pursuit was no different.
If Luo Feng accepts Yan Kaize’s investment, then the right to speak will fall into Yan Kaize’s hands.
Luo Feng would have to listen to him no matter how unwilling he was if he were to get Luo Feng to expand quickly.
