"If you're going to franchise, can't you show a little ambition?"
"No, not just any franchise, it's Auntie of Shanghai's tea shop!"
"Auntie of Shanghai?"
Xu Musen was indeed a bit surprised now; according to his estimate, those franchising now should all be drawn by Hu Shangai.
After all, Auntie of Shanghai's franchise requirents were indeed quite strict: the store location had to be in the pri downtown area, the decor and raw materials had to be the best, and factoring in employee costs and various other expenses, it would take nearly a million.
Whoever dared to franchise now was really making a risky bet.
"You don't need to get so worked up over it, look at how unimpressive you are."
Xu Musen said this, but he was actually very happy inside; just the franchise fee for Auntie of Shanghai was three hundred thousand, plus the later revenue-sharing, signifying that the first money-making machine had been settled.
He rembered how he had scrimped and saved for a long ti to gather his first three hundred thousand to buy an Audi, while now, it was only mid-June and just the franchise fees had reached two to three million. Indeed, money just keeps rolling in more and more.
"Damn! Not one store! Soone has franchised five all at once!"
When Zhou Hangyu said this, the whole tea shop fell silent.
"No way! For real? Franchised five shops at once?"
"Wait a minute, damn, let calculate too. Five stores, total cost must be nearly five million, right? Just franchise fees would be over a million!"
The staff in the shop were also imdiately excited and gathered around upon hearing this news.
Five million, in this era where even a five thousand-yuan monthly salary is considered quite good in Huhai, could directly buy two or three houses.
And this was cash, which many people who own million-yuan properties might not have in actual savings for the whole family, not to ntion still owing the bank hundreds of thousands...
For them, this was an astronomical figure they might never reach in their lifetis.
The only ones who remained calm in the shop at this mont were Zhao Lianmai and Zhu Yulan.
At this mont, Zhu Yulan leisurely made a cup of lemon water, looking at the excited expressions of everyone, especially Xu Musen's surprised face, and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly.
Zhao Lianmai was cutting fruits on the side, glanced at Zhu Yulan, but also maintained a calm deanor.
Xu Musen was calm about a one million franchise fee, but soone franchising five shops in a row made him a bit curious.
"Who is the franchiser?" Xu Musen asked.
He feared it might be An Nuannuan's grandparents, or Liu Rushuang having soone invest.
Although he was confident that these tea shops would surely make big money in the future, having them invest seed to diminish his sense of achievent.
"Let see... there, the first Auntie of Shanghai franchise applicant, Zhu Yulan... Eh? Why does this na seem so familiar?"
Zhou Hangyu looked at the na, still excited all along and not yet realizing it; he flipped through the pages: "The second shop's franchise applicant is Zhu Yulan, the third one... still Zhu Yulan! Damn! This must be a rich lady surnad Zhu..."
Zhou Hangyu's voice halted abruptly, as at this mont, everyone's gaze had already turned to Zhu Yulan.
Normally, everyone followed Xu Musen in calling Zhu Yulan Boss Zhu, and they only suddenly realized her full na now!
At that mont, Zhu Yulan, holding a cup of lemon water, walked up to Xu Musen, looking at his surprised and sowhat puzzled eyes, she revealed a long-missed smile.
"Forgive , for I am the one in question."
Xu Musen looked at her for quite a while, before he couldn't help but laugh a bit, and waving his hands to the others he said, "You all go back to your tasks; I'm going to have a proper chat with our biggest client, Boss Zhu."
A few people wisely scuttled off right away.
Xu Musen and Zhu Yulan stared at each other for quite a while, with Xu Musen looking her up and down with interest for a long ti, making Zhu Yulan feel sowhat embarrassed.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a beautiful woman before?"
Zhu Yulan's cheeks were slightly red, but it was obvious that she now had the confidence of a young lady.
Xu Musen took a sip of the lemon water and laughed, "Did you make up with your sister?"
Xu Musen hit the nail on the head.
Zhu Yulan pursed her lips, and in the end, didn't argue but nodded, "Did you already know about my sister's matters before?"
"Yeah, she's actually co to see many tis. You two sisters, clearly caring for each other, yet not willing to even et secretly, made it look like you were at odds with each other, as if you had turned enemies. In a sense, your sister is a real man."
Xu Musen lanted a bit. He couldn't say he was very fond of Zhu Xianglan, but he definitely admired her; a woman in her thirties with such spirit and tactics was certainly among the top-tier won.
"I... cough, do you even know how to make comparisons?" Zhu Yulan choked on his last bizarre comparison.
Xu Musen chuckled and handed her the lemon water he was holding.
Zhu Yulan grabbed it and took a sip imdiately, swallowing her breath, but then suddenly realized that it was the sa straw he had just used... Her already flushed cheeks turned even redder.
"These tea shops were transferred to you by your sister, weren't they?" Xu Musen asked nonchalantly.
"Yes." Zhu Yulan nodded honestly.
Xu Musen smiled and then slowly said, "I don't hold any ill will towards your sister, but there were certainly so thoughtless provocations on her part. I can't say I have a good impression of her, and if it's just about repaying a favor, there's no need for that."
