Chapter 49 Tea Tasting

Maqiushan has been busy with his own business for a long time, prepared well, and has developed various flavors of tea drinks, and has made innovations based on existing tea drinks on the market.
After everyone finished their meal, Maqiushan said, "Mr. Zhao, Hongdou, Nana, I wonder if you have time to taste my tea?"
Zhao Shucheng looked at the others and said, "Oh, so Ma is ready, then we must be the first to taste it."
After the group arrived at the tea room, they found a place to sit down and saw Maqiushan starting to fiddle with some bottles and jars there.
After making the first cup, seeing that everyone was ready to take it up and drink it, Maqiushan quickly grabbed it, held a glass of water and said, "Clean up your mouth first!"
When Xu Hongdou and the others saw that Maqiushan was so formal, they could only rinse their mouths according to the procedure before starting to taste the tea made in Maqiushan.
Maqiushan introduced: "In addition to pure tea, we have also developed a series of specialty products according to the needs of different flavors. Of course, no matter which product, we have very strict control over raw materials, and we must definitely achieve zero pollution and pure natural."
Whenever everyone wants to taste a new type, Maqiushan will stop people and make people rinse their mouths because they feel that they must do this to taste the taste they want customers to taste. Just like in many food competitions, the judges need to rinse their mouths before they can taste the new dish, so that the previous dish will not affect the food they are about to taste, and will not produce a mixed taste.
The first cup is pure tea, so there is nothing to say, especially for many ordinary people, they can only taste black tea and green tea. However, it is difficult for others to distinguish the quality of the specific tea except for some people who often drink tea.
The second cup is mixed tea. The specific method is to mix tea from different origins and different varieties, so I have an idea.
The third type is milk tea, which uses Dian black tea as the base and then whole milk.
After Lin Na tasted it, she felt that nothing special, but instead asked curiously: "Is there black tea and cream here?"
"It's whole milk!"
When Maqiushan heard Zhao Shucheng say it, he smiled and said, "Yes, of course, for those who are allergic to milk, we have also developed soy milk. Of course, you can also add chia seeds and pearls. Our pearls are planned to be made with konjac flour, and absolutely no brown sugar and corn starch are added. They are particularly friendly to people who lose weight."
Xu Hongdou asked curiously: "Can konjac also be a pearl?"
"This konjac is actually the way to make it..." Maqiushan was preparing to make a long speech, but suddenly stopped and said, "This is a long story. Let's take a lesson separately another day. Today we mainly taste tea and tea."
"It's like this today. Please give us a score based on the taste. It's best to write a few real feelings, just within fifty words."
Of course, let Xu Hongdou and the others score, but Ma Qiushan actually wanted to know his opinions and whether he would invest.
"Mr. Zhao, you have read this plan before, and the investigation report has also come out. You also tasted the exclusive recipe of tea today. What do you think? Can you talk about investment?"
Maqiushan rubbed his hands and looked at Zhao Shucheng with a chuckle. The other three women frowned when they saw it, thinking that Maqiushan was really vulgar and greasy now.
"Master Ma, can you be more normal? The immortal style sacred bone turns into a greasy uncle. This is really scary."
Maqiushan smiled and said, "It's like business, now I'm asking people for investment, so naturally I can't have the spirit of immortality."
Zhao Shucheng said: "Okay, you guys write a comment here, let's talk about investment."
When Zhao Shucheng and Maqiushan came to the yard, Zhao Shucheng looked at Maqiushan and said, "Mr. Ma, I personally think that some of your teas just now have a further potential. Because you think it is not enough to drink, it is the most important thing for girls to like to drink. In fact, men drink tea and coffee mainly for pretending, and the rest is to eliminate fatigue, so black coffee and strong tea are not a problem. But if you are in front of girls, they must have a good personality and make people feel high-end."
"Girls actually don't like to endure hardship, especially the bitterness of tea, which is not liked by some people. Why milk tea is popular now is because they like sweetness and even milky fragrance. What you have to do is to satisfy this part of the customer so that more people can enter your store to consume. Boys date girls, and then sit in the store to drink tea and chat. As for how to develop responsive products, you need more customer group research, such as what older people like, what little girls like, and what white-collar workers like like, all of which need to be studied."
"But overall, I personally think your direction is correct, and the plan is fine, it is worth investing. Now it's how much you need."
Maqiushan hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, I have thought that the first choice for opening a store is to be a big city like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. After all, the consumption capacity of the people here is different from that of other cities. And if we can open a situation here, opening a branch in the future will naturally be no problem."
"It's okay, we have known each other for so long. How much does it cost to do? If I think it's okay, I will naturally invest."
"Two million!" Maqiushan said with some trepidation.
Zhao Shucheng frowned and said, "Two million, how much do you have to invest, how much do you have to invest, and how much does technology hold?"
"Stock 10% of the shares, my skills account for 80% of the shares, and then I go back to sell the old house, and I should be able to take out hundreds of thousands of dollars after I get it."
Zhao Shucheng frowned and said, "Master Ma, you're a little bit empty-handed. What's the situation of your tea drink? Is it acceptable? It's an unknown. My investment now is an angel round investment. Is your tea drink worth 20 million or not? It's not necessarily true now. Besides, you are in the category of physical business. In the future, you have to rent a store, train employees, etc., and it may not be a year or two to make a profit. But because we have known each other for so long and you are so enthusiastic about entrepreneurship, I believe you, not your industry. Venture capital has a good saying, investment is to invest in people, so I can invest in you."
Seeing Maqiushan a little happy, Zhao Shucheng said: "But we have to say that the ugly things are ahead. My money is not blown by the strong wind. If you ask me to invest 2 million or 10%, it is definitely unacceptable. I will say a number, if you think it is OK, we will settle it like this. If you think it is not OK, it will not affect our relationship. You also look for venture capital or angel investors."
When Maqiushan heard Zhao Shucheng say this, he felt like he was a little bit vocal. After all, this industry is different from his previous Internet entrepreneurship. At that time, any good gimmick that even without any results could make people invest simply.
"Okay, you said."
"My personal investment is still 2 million, accounting for 30%. If you invest 200,000 yuan in person, it's okay to invest 500,000 yuan. I'll calculate it for you based on 7 million yuan. These two million are enough for you to open a large store and then do some high-end promotion. If it can be successful, the impact will be good in the future. In the future rounds of financing, you can follow me if you want me to invest. If you don't want me, I can't add it, or even sell shares according to the valuation. This can be regarded as my friend's support for you to make a comeback. How about it?"
Maqiushan hesitated after hearing this. In fact, he felt that his current tea drinks are very interesting, but he also knew that he was facing a lot of competition and there were many places to spend money. Not to mention anything else, just how can customers come to the door after the tea shop is opened? This requires careful consideration.
However, he also knows that it is not so easy to invest with current planning books and formulas. Especially in many investors, they invest money in some high-tech industries, or industries with high returns or fast returns, but they are not very interested in such industries with slow investment returns.
"Mr. Zhao, then we will decide on investment. I will develop new formulas in the future to ensure that our products are loved by customers and open a store as soon as possible."
By the time Zhao Shucheng and Maqiushan returned, Xu Hongdou and the other two had already written their own evaluations.
However, when Maqiushan saw it, he was no longer as happy as he knew that the investment was done just now.
Lin Na’s evaluation of tea drinks is not very high. It can even be said that if it weren’t for Ma Ye living in the same yard with her, it would be a negative review.
Even Damai and Xu Hongdou's evaluations are not good, and tea drinks can only be considered average.
This made Maqiushan think of what Zhao Shucheng said to him before. The tea drink that he thought was of good taste was really unpopular in the eyes of girls.
This made Maqiushan know that if he really wanted to make tea, he had to debug the tea that girls like so that he could attract all kinds of customers, rather than only male customers or only a few customers.
Because the widespread customer base actually determines whether this tea shop will be very popular in the future. If only a small number of people like it, then the tea shop will inevitably be difficult. Only by developing tea drinks that both the old, middle-aged and young generations like can we bring more customers to the store and be worthy of our efforts.
