Chapter 199 Zou Rong's Entrepreneurship Road (Part 2)(1/2)
"Open a cafe?"
After listening to Zou Rong's words, Zou Dazhu and his wife were obviously stunned for a moment, because they had never touched coffee before.
With the conditions of the Zou family, it is impossible to waste money on drinking any coffee, and the taste of the coffee is probably not something Zou Dazhu and his wife like.
As for opening a cafe, it is something that the couple can't imagine. In their hearts, they also have a sense of rejection of such trendy things. After all, they are considered the older generation, and their ability to accept is still relatively poor.
"Rongrong, how much does it cost to open a cafe?"
Zou Dazhu first asked. In his impression, those coffees are places where wealthy people go, and this investment is probably not as big as hundreds of thousands.
With so much money, the Zou family can't afford it.
"It may cost 200,000,000." Zou Rong just said Jiang Xu's proposal. At this moment, listening to her father's question, she told Jiang Xu's estimated investment amount.
When Su Mei heard this, she said with a bitter face: "Rongrong, we can't get so much money."
Su Mei naturally knows the situation of the Zou family now. For the current Zou family, these two or three hundred thousand are no different from astronomical figures.
"Auntie, I'll solve the money, as long as you agree."
Jiang Xu also spoke at this time. He paused in his tone and then continued: "The operation of the cafe is very simple, and I have an exclusive coffee recipe on my hand, so I will never lose money. Moreover, I can't use the money to do a loss-making business, right?"
How could Jiang Xu not know what Zou Dazhu and his wife were worried about? For honest ordinary people like Zou Dazhu and his wife, the most direct words are the most effective.
Sure enough, after listening to Jiang Xu's words, Zou Dazhu and his wife were both a little moved.
No one likes to live a poor life, and Zou Dazhu and his wife are not young anymore. After all, working is not a long-term solution. In addition, the old streets and alleys may be demolished soon, and there is not much compensation. If they don’t have money, they may not even have a place to live by then.
If you can do some small business of your own, it will definitely be the best.
"Jiang Xu, we have never done business, I'm afraid..." Zou Dazhu was still a little worried. After all, he had never done business, for fear of losing Jiang Xu's money.
Jiang Xu said directly: "Uncle, you don't have to worry about this at all. It's just a small cafe. It's very simple, not to mention that there are me and Zou Rong."
With an investment of more than 200,000 yuan, the scale of the cafe can be imagined. This small-sized cafe is not much different from an ordinary small shop when it is operated. Even if Zou Dazhu and his wife have never done business, they can basically get started with it with just a little contact.
After the cafe grows larger, Zou Dazhu and his wife basically have the ability to manage independently.
"Jiang Xu, then the investment money..." Su Mei asked softly from the side.
After all, it is hundreds of thousands, so Su Mei naturally wants to ask clearly.
Jiang Xu naturally knew what Su Mei was thinking and smiled and said, "Auntie, let me lend this money as I lent it to you. After you make money in the cafe in the future, you can return it to me. If everything goes well, you should be able to return the money to me at most a year."
This year has been a huge estimate for Jiang Xu. Even if Zou Dazhu and his wife have poor management capabilities, it is still easy to earn hundreds of thousands a year.
"So fast?"
Su Mei was stunned for a moment. If someone else said this, she would definitely not believe it.
But for Jiang Xu, she has a sense of trust that cannot be described in words. Not only her, but Zou Dazhu is the same.
Jiang Xu continued to promise: "Auntie, just keep a hundred hearts. I said that you can make money, but you can definitely make money."
Su Mei was completely moved, but she did not make a decision immediately, but looked at Zou Dazhu. After all, Zou Dazhu was the head of the Zou family, and only if Zou Dazhu agreed, this matter could be considered a real decision.
Although Zou Dazhu was also very moved, hesitated and said, "Jiang Xu, what should I do about the company's affairs? The company has been so busy recently. If we leave all of a sudden, it would be bad."
The company that Zou Dazhu mentioned naturally refers to Jincheng Pharmaceutical.
Jincheng Pharmaceutical is now in a period of development. If it leaves like this, Zou Dazhu is also a little uneasy. After all, Jincheng Pharmaceutical treats him very well and takes great care of him.
"Uncle, you can stay in the company for the time being and ask your aunt to help Zou Rong. After two months, the company's situation stabilizes, you can just quit."
This little thing is nothing to Jiang Xu. Jincheng Pharmaceuticals is his Jiang Xu's property, and it is only his own word to leave. However, Jiang Xu hopes that Zou Dazhu can stay at Jincheng Pharmaceutical for two more months.
After all, Zou Dazhu is now at the management level, and he can learn a lot from Jincheng Pharmaceuticals. It would be easy to run a cafe when the time comes.
With Jiang Xu's words, Zou Dazhu no longer hesitated. He turned his head and asked Zou Rong directly: "Rongrong, what do you think? If you really want to open a cafe, then open it."
"Dad, I think we can give it a try." Zou Rong responded seriously.
"Oh well."
Zou Dazhu gritted his teeth and finally nodded—
Zou Dazhu had to go to the company at noon, especially Su Mei. She wanted to go to the company to handle the resignation, so shortly after lunch, Zou Dazhu and his wife left the house.
Jiang Xu did not rush back, but drove directly with Zou Rong to find the store where the cafe was opened.
After all, Zou Rong only has two months to report to Minzhong University. Jiang Xu also hopes that the cafe can be opened earlier.
Looking for stores, decoration, etc., according to Jiang Xu's expectations, it will take at least about a week at the fastest time.
However, Zou Rong's luck was obviously very good.
Not long after walking around, Zou Rong saw a coffee house in a relatively quiet street that wanted a turntable. The geographical location of the street was quite good, and the scale of this coffee house was similar to what Jiang Xu expected.
The decoration style of this coffee house is also the type Zou Rong likes. It is mainly white tones, giving people a sense of tranquility and elegance. Moreover, this coffee has only been open for less than three months, and it is almost no different from the newly renovated store.
Most importantly, the transfer price of this coffee house is not high.
It can be seen that the business of this coffee house is a bit bleak, otherwise it would not have been open for a few months and wanted to transfer it.
The boss also made plans to lose money. The total number of shops, decorations and equipment was used for nearly 300,000 yuan, but in the end, the price of the turntable was only 200,000 yuan.
The price was already very low, and Jiang Xu didn't hesitate at all and directly bought the coffee shop.
The owner of the coffee house was also very straightforward. He completed all the procedures that afternoon. When it was almost dark, the owner of the coffee house became Zou Rong.
Because the business of the coffee shop was very cold, after all the procedures were completed, Jiang Xu closed the store directly.
However, Jiang Xu did not leave, but hid in the coffee house with Zou Rong and began to study the kind of coffee that Jiang Xu mentioned.
At the bar of the coffee shop, Jiang Xuzheng grinds the coffee himself with a coffee maker. The coffee beans he uses are also very ordinary, not a good product.
Zou Rong was watching seriously with her beautiful eyes, and her beautiful eyes could be said to be full of extremely anticipated expressions.
The process was very simple. After a moment, Jiang Xu placed a cup of freshly ground coffee in front of Zou Rong and said, "Zou Rong, this is ordinary coffee, you can taste it first."
"Um."
Zou Rong nodded, then gently picked up the coffee.
Perhaps because of the lack of sugar, just after taking a bite, Zou Rong's delicate eyebrows were already slightly frowning.
Very bitter and very ordinary taste.
Although Zou Rong has never drunk any expensive coffee, she has still drunk cheap coffee. Sometimes she will learn very late in her studies, sometimes she will refresh herself by drinking tea, and sometimes she will refresh herself by drinking coffee that costs one dollar a pack.
And the coffee that Jiang Xu grinds out at this moment is not much better than the kind of coffee she bought that costs one dollar a pack.
According to the price of this coffee shop, such a cup of coffee costs at least 15 yuan.
If Zou Rong had chosen, she would definitely not have come here to drink. For such a cup, she could buy fifteen packs in the supermarket, and the taste would not be much inferior.
"Doesn't the taste feel very average?" Jiang Xu could already get the answer he wanted when he saw Zou Rong's appearance.
Basically, this kind of ordinary coffee beans cannot produce good coffee at all, and truly good coffee beans are not something that ordinary people can consume. Generally, people who are able to consume it basically cannot come to this kind of small coffee house.
"Um."
Zou Rong nodded again. What she had to do at this time was to tell Jiang Xu his most intuitive feelings.
Jiang Xu just smiled slightly. He didn't say anything else, but began to grind a second cup of coffee.
The same coffee beans and the same grinding method, just a moment later, another cup of coffee was placed in front of Zou Rong.
However, this cup of coffee is a little different from the previous cup, because Jiang Xu has already incorporated a faint soul essence into this cup of coffee.
It is precisely for this reason that the smell emitted by this cup of coffee is slightly different.
If the cup of coffee before was just an ordinary coffee fragrance, then in addition to the ordinary coffee fragrance, this cup of coffee at this moment has an additional mysterious fragrance that can attract the soul.
"It smells so good."
Just after smelling the aroma of coffee, Zou Rong couldn't help but let out a soft cry.
Instead of grinding the coffee, Jiang Xu stopped and said, "Zou Rong, take another sip and see what's different about the feeling this time."
There was no need for Jiang Xu to say anything. Zou Rong had already picked up the new cup of coffee and tasted it again. This time, Zou Rong's reaction was almost a world of difference compared to before.
There was no sign of frowning on her brows. Instead, a look of surprise and incredible appeared on her pure and lively little face.
If the coffee before was very ordinary, then Zou Rong could be 100% sure that the second cup of coffee that Jiang Xu grinded far exceeded the first cup in any aspect.
Moreover, it was a wonderful feeling that could not be described in words, as if even the soul was fascinated by it. Zou Rong could not imagine how the coffee ground with the same coffee beans could have such a huge difference in taste.
After thinking about it, Zou Rong responded very quickly: "Jiang Xu, this cup of coffee is definitely the best taste of the coffee I have ever drunk."
Zou Rong wanted to compare it, but she had never drunk those truly expensive coffees, so naturally she could not compare.
"If this cup of coffee is priced at fifteen yuan, do you think anyone would like to drink it?" Jiang Xu continued to ask.
"I'll definitely be willing."
Zou Rong's answer was very affirmative. If she had not had enough confidence in investing in a cafe before, then this time, she was already extremely affirmative in her heart.
Jiang Xu did not look any unexpected on Zou Rong's reply, because all this was within his expectations.
After taking out a pearl that had been injected with soul energy from his arms, Jiang Xu handed the pearl to Zou Rong, and said, "Zou Rong, this pearl is the unique formula I call."
"What?"
