Chapter 24 Not optimistic

"Actually, it's just a commercial gimmick."

The girl folded her arms and looked at her own advertisement. If she didn't think it was a good idea, she wouldn't dare to use it. But the shape of raw pork is a bit too strong even for the mousse: the raw pork belly looks really good when you put it in your mouth.

You need some courage!

Lin Shuang looked at her, and Qiu Yi's eyes flashed subconsciously.

"You don't want creative fees, do you?"

Lin Shuang laughed: "That's not what I meant."

The girl smelled sweet like milk, and there was some flour on the back of her hands. She probably had just finished making some snacks.

During this period, Lin Shuang passed by this store every day, always at night, so he didn't know whether the business of this store was good or not.

It feels like it’s not working. It’s hard to open physical stores these days. On the one hand, businesses are struggling to support themselves, and on the other hand, consumers have limited income. However, there are more and more stalls being set up, and I can see them being set up overnight, and with them,

Sleeping outside.

Just attracting people to come in and take a look, but it’s still useless! You don’t make money from traffic.

"That cake is just shaped like,"

Qiu Yi said, "Actually, it's also mousse. I prepare twenty servings every day, mainly for diversion. I hope I can bring some other products. That one has just been put in the refrigerator and has to wait for half an hour. Do you want anything else?"

"

Suddenly, for a moment, Qiu Yi was worried that Lin Shuang would buy them all in one go. It took her a long time to develop this thing, and she mustered up the courage to try it out today.

"If you want something else, I still have it."

"I haven't finished my run yet. I'll try it again when I have time."

Lin Shuang could also tell that the girl had not washed her face and was completely out of state, so she hurriedly said goodbye and trotted into her own community.

Compared with Qiu Yi, who might lose money for her hard work, Lin Shuang felt that he was so lucky that he was reluctant to talk to her. He could earn 500 yuan for a run today, but Qiu Yi didn't.

If you open a shop here, you may have to spend 500 yuan a day.

Qiu Yi puffed up her mouth and muttered something. She watched Lin Shuang run into the gate of Taohu Community and then remembered that she had forgotten to ask him where he lived.

She actually doesn't have much confidence in this, but business has been bad, so she wants to try it if she finds a way.

Clenching her fists to cheer herself up, Qiu Yi returned to the store, packed up, and prepared to open the store. Recently, she had to prepare for exams and do business at the same time. She was so busy that she took a copy of the "Civil Code" and read it again.

Looked at it carefully.

At half past six, the door was pushed open, and the wind chimes hanging above rang loudly.

"Hello...oh...it's you..." She saw Lin Shuang walking in, but she didn't think of her name for a moment.

"Come take a look and try your new product."

Lin Shuang smiled broadly. Originally he would not come, but Xiao Wai gave him a task and asked him to sit here for half an hour and give him five hundred yuan.

The so-called sitting, of course, does not mean simply sitting, you must do something.

Thinking about it, this is a bad idea that he came up with. It would be bad if he tricked someone. The girl didn't return his business. It must be bad. No matter how much Western pastry is sold, there will still be a lot of operating expenses behind it.

It took ten days to get it done. If it wasn't that it was difficult to make, it should be that it was difficult to do business.

Lin Shuang came over after taking a shower and changing clothes to help him think of a solution. Although he had never done business, he had done some research!

During the four years of college, I studied law, business, and human nature. I usually think about a lot of things, so I can still do it if I give Qiu Yi some support.

After all, my classmates gave me so many cakes during a game.

"You sit down first and I'll bring it to you." Qiu Yi nodded, took out a cake from the counter and sent it to Lin Shuang's table.

Lin Shuang saw a law book in her hand in front of her. He guessed that this girl was still preparing for the exam. He couldn't help but shook his head slightly, fighting on two fronts.

"It's quite similar."

The cake in front of me is almost exactly the same as pork belly. It is about the same size as an ordinary milk cube. It looks like raw meat that has been cut into braised meat.

"Eat it directly?" Lin Shuang asked, holding a fork.

Qiu Yi looked at him and raised her eyelids: "Otherwise? Put it in the pot and cook it again?"

"The taste is so strong. What is this red color?"

"It's made with red dragon juice. I've tried it many times. For lean meat, tofu and gluten are used." Qiu Yi looked at him nervously.

Tofu and gluten?

It feels like dark cuisine.

Lin Shuang took a bite and found that the taste was okay. It was smooth and icy in the mouth. It was actually suitable for eating in hot weather.

"How about it?"

“It tastes good, but...”

"It's just a bad look, right?"

"It's not that the shape is bad, who dares to put raw pork in their mouth?"

Qiu Yi nodded: "I know this too, but this is to attract attention. I don't want people to say it is false propaganda. It must be made more realistic."

"Isn't your business bad?"

Qiu Yi reluctantly nodded: "It's just like this. It's like this when we first opened."

There was a lot of concealment in the words.

"Actually, it should be better when it just opened,..."

Lin Shuang looked outside the door for a while, "What is your store's target customer group? The neighbors here or something else? I see you also have cat girl looks, student uniforms and so on, and it seems to be targeting the otaku group."

Qiu Yi curled her lips angrily: "If you don't pick your customers, it's good to have business."

Wasn't this guy attracted to the cat girl last time he came in?

Now it seems like I need to clear my name.

"Then I think you may have to improve it a little bit more." Lin Shuang had just looked at the items on the counter and felt that there were many problems.

Qiu Yi opened her eyes wide: "How to change it?"

Lin Shuang looked at her. The dark circles under her eyes were a bit obvious. She was still young, probably due to lack of sleep. She was now bare-faced, but she actually looked pretty. Her glasses made her look even more adorable.

"Are there only two people in your store?"

"Well, two. The other one works from ten to eight, and I am the one who works the rest of the time."

"You make everything yourself?"

"Well...Xiao Lu also helps, she mainly works at the counter."

Lin Shuang sneered in his heart, that Xiao Lu went to the bar to relieve his worries at night and almost got picked up by someone, so he just helped. Qiu Yi probably didn't even know about it.

No wonder Qiu Yi looked so expressionless. She was just risking her life to earn rent. One day, the store would collapse and she still had to prepare for the exam.

This girl seems to be engaged in scientific research. There are many varieties, but the quantity is not large. What to sell if there is no goods?

Could it be that you want to become a brand chain franchise?

If you don't set a successful example yourself, how can you expect others to follow your example these days?

How naive!

Capitalists exploit other people's labor, while she exploits herself, and because of the sluggish business and high pressure, she cannot open her mind.

Lin Shuang sighed: "I have some ideas, are you willing to listen to them?"

Qiu Yi pursed her lips. Her lips were a little thin, and when she pursed them, they formed a line. On the contrary, her eyes looked even bigger, her face was pale, and the whites of her eyes were slightly bloodshot. She stared at Lin Shuang blankly.

She remembered that the last time she saw this guy, he was still a fat man with glasses. He raised his hands and feet in all kinds of unnatural ways, pushed himself to the ground with one arm, and maybe even peeked at his underwear.

Now he seems to be a third narrower and much more handsome, but his personality remains the same and he likes to give advice.

I also made the pork cake idea I gave last time. I don’t know what to say this time.

The beautiful dreams she had before opening the store have now turned into regrets, and she is worried every moment about whether she can earn next month's expenses.

Unless Lin Shuang directly gives her a long-term order, it is really difficult to change the status quo with a few words of advice.

Seeing the silly look on this soft girl's face, Lin Shuang assumed that she was willing to listen: "When opening a physical store, it is best to have a stable customer base for food, and the most ideal ones are the neighbors around here."

"That's what I thought." Qiu Yi muttered.

Lin Shuang looked at her. He probably thought her thoughts were different from the reality, and he was very shocked.

"Actually speaking, it's normal for a person to spend twenty yuan on Western-style pastries every day. You don't need to ask for more, but you have to ensure that these people spend money with you and you can lock them in."

"Oh...I know."

"I don't think you know."

Do you know who you are competing with? How much does a cake cost in an online store? Your store is not the only one out there. If you don’t target customers, why do people have to come here?
