  Chapter 176 Pocket is safe

  Earlier, there were a lot of toasts at the table, but Yu Xian'er didn't drink a drop of wine.

  Except for Zhou Anan, who cooperated in a low-key manner, no one dared to toast her.

   Zhou Anan, who was sitting in the co-pilot, still felt very safe.

  The so-called going to a game, I didn't expect to go shopping with Miss Yu and her best friend and roommate. Zhou Anan, who walked for an hour and carried six bags in his hand, said that this game was too empty.

  Being soft-spoken and short-handed, Ms. Yu offered to help out of her busy schedule, but Zhou Anan didn't complain at all.

   "Xiao Anzi, what do you want?"

  Standing in front of the counter of Starbucks, Wang Xiaoxiao asked intimately.

   "Hot Caramel Macchiato."

   Without hesitation, Zhou An'an said what he said most often in his previous life.

   In his previous life, he spent no less than tens of thousands at Starbucks, and 80% of Zhou Anan's own part was spent on caramel macchiato.

  Drink hot caramel macchiato in winter and iced caramel macchiato in summer.

  Placing the bag in a position that was just vacated, Zhou Anan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

  In Hangzhou, the price of a glass of more than 30 yuan is not high for customers who come to this mall to shop, so there are not many people present.

   "This business is not bad."

  Drinking a cup of cappuccino, Yu Xian'er looked at the surrounding environment and said something with emotion.

  After owning the tea industry, Yu Xianer subconsciously thought of her own business.

   "It's a pity that I can't join, otherwise I will open one in my hometown Lizhou."

   Zhou Anan was deeply touched by this.

  I still remember the sensation caused when Starbucks entered their county-level city in Lizhou in 2016. People who lined up to buy coffee in the first two months could all go outside the door.

  After that, the enthusiasm has not diminished, and the annual turnover is not much lower than that of the flagship store in Hangzhou.

  17 years later, in the Lizhou tea industry, there are three types of tea, one is Starbucks, one is a little bit, and the other is other milk tea.

   "The direct sales store model also has limitations."

  Using the family's hand to touch the tea business, Yu Xian'er certainly has research on this Starbucks.

  Direct marketing and franchising have always been an average question that is difficult to choose.

   "The cost of expansion is too high, but once it succeeds, it will last the longest."

   After taking a sip of the caramel macchiato, which still had the same taste, Zhou Anan, who knew the future trend well, said sharply.

  You must know that the future global economic crisis will cause mourning from all walks of life.

  Starbucks has been able to make steady progress, which is entirely due to the direct store policy in China, which has continuously injected blood into the headquarters, and the stock price has risen instead of falling.

  It is the small county town of Lizhou, and the annual turnover of a single store is at least five million or more.

   In the hottest opening year, it even reached tens of millions.

   This was said at a banquet by an insider of the Market Supervision Bureau that Zhou Anan knew, and the data is true and effective.

   "Can our Qinglan Milk Tea take this route?"

   Frowning, Yu Xian'er bit the straw and asked.

   "Sister Xian'er, do you think the milk tea in our milk tea shop is better or the coffee here?"

   Shaking the coffee in his hand, Zhou Anan asked with a smile.

   "For the first time, our milk tea is pretty good. But in terms of taste, it's still the Starbucks that doesn't get tired of drinking."

  After thinking about it, Yu Xian'er gave a pertinent answer.

   "So, we still need to improve."

   "Hey, you are enough, take care of my feelings as a jobless vagrant."

  Listening to the topic that the two people beside him were talking about getting farther and farther away, and listening to the boring Wang Xiaoxiao interjected.

   "Okay, let the team members consider this matter. By the way, are you also a shareholder of our Qinglan Tea Drink?"

  Facing her best friend's complaint, Yu Xian'er smiled and changed the subject.

   "Hmph, I'm just a wage earner."

   After drinking a cup of Starbucks, the two girls who were revived with full blood continued to start the next round of raids.

   At 10:30 in the evening, Zhou Anan looked at the two young ladies who walked the shopping mall until it closed, and felt really dissatisfied.

   After such a long time, Zhou Anan, who had long since faded from alcohol, cameo again as a driver and sent the two young ladies back to their residence.

   As for himself, he took a taxi back to the hotel and drove his own car to go wandering.

   "There is still no nightlife."

  Standing at the door of the Little Forest Bar, Zhou Anan, who had nothing to do, shook his head and laughed.

   After all, he still can't get used to those crazy di bars.

  Most of the bars nowadays take the route of getting up, which is not suitable for middle-aged people who have begun to like quiet.

   Picking up girls or something, for Zhou Anan who now has a girlfriend, it's not enough, the main reason is that he is afraid of being dirty.

  No way, he still can't do the step of a scumbag.

  Of course, there is no way to play tricks or something.

   At six o'clock in the evening on June 20, the landline of the training department and Zhou Anan's cell phone rang one after another, and they couldn't stop.

   Several full-time teachers were too busy to stop. They kept memorizing the scores reported by the parents of the students, compared them with the new score line, and told them the high schools that were shortlisted.

  Through the dean's relationship, Zhou An'an got the major and high scores two hours in advance.

   Immediately, Zhou Anan consulted Xu Lu's father and got an accurate score.

  689 points, and the score line of Haizhou No. 1 Middle School is just 686 points. Xu Lu is a perfect finalist with a three-point advantage.

According to the agreement signed at the beginning, if Xu Lu is shortlisted for Lucheng No. 1 Middle School, 150,000 yuan will be refunded out of the 300,000 yuan prepaid; It belongs to Zhou Anan.

   Now, the 300,000 yuan can be regarded as safe, and it is not in vain that he has spent so much thought on making so many similar high school entrance examination simulation papers.

   "Mr. Zhou, thank you very much."

  Hearing that her daughter has entered Haizhou No. 1 Middle School, Xu Lu's father is very grateful.

   As for the prepaid 300,000 yuan, I don't care at all.

  If Xu Lu's grades were used to send him to spend 500,000 yuan to send his daughter to Haizhou No. 1 Middle School, Xu Lu's father would not hesitate.

   "Be polite, this is the result of Lulu's own efforts."

   "By the way, Mr. Zhou, I have a friend whose child also wants to enroll in this agreement class. What do you think? Money is not a problem."

   Xu Lu's father was well aware of her daughter's level, but she was able to be admitted to Shanghai No. 1 Middle School after a year of tutoring.

  With such an awesome training institution, Xu Lu's father naturally wants to introduce his friend's daughter to go to tutoring.

   "Okay, ask your friend to bring the child over to our place to have a look."

   Zhou Anan was very happy to hear that there was another big business coming.

  The most important thing is that the reserved funds of 150,000 yuan can be used. This is enough money to buy three shops.

  If the parent who introduced him pays 300,000 yuan in advance, at least 150,000 yuan can be used, which is one step closer to buying a street.

  Ahem, if that brother's student foundation is poor, then there is nothing he can do.

  Just hung up the phone with Xu Lu's father, Zhou Anan's cell phone rang, showing a smile, and answered the phone: "Mother Xu Wei, hello"
