Beginning of Her Ancient Business Empire

"Alright, I'll give it a try. After tasting the water-boiled fish last time, I found it quite memorable. It's not too uncomfortable this time, just a slight tingle, but more of a delightful spice that makes you want to taste it again. After a sip of water, I continued to try other dishes slowly. I have a feeling that this flavor will become popular nationwide. However, thinking about it, if Fu Hai Lou keeps these recipes to itself, there might not be any restaurant or eatery that can compete in the future. Besides, my grocery store is really too small."

"Well, Fu Hai Lou belongs to Xiao Bei. She has the final say in everything."

"Alright, let me explain. No matter how big and good Fu Hai Lou becomes, it can't compare to the everyday meals that ordinary people have at home. People who come to restaurants choose them for ingredients, cooking skills, ambiance, atmosphere, service, and identity. Every popular flavor is led by Fu Hai Lou, the authentic birthplace. That's where it all started, and no one can match that."

"South-North Supermarket will soon be substantial. Firstly, wherever Fu Hai Lou is, there should be South-North Supermarket, but the presence of South-North Supermarket doesn't necessarily mean Fu Hai Lou. Compared to Fu Hai Lou's noble and sophisticated aristocratic consumption, supermarkets can reach ordinary households more effectively, and they are more suitable for flat sales. New products launched by Fu Hai Lou can be found in South-North Supermarket a month later. I can't afford the services enjoyed by the nobles, but we can follow their taste. Therefore, the things that can be bought for home consumption will undoubtedly be consumed in larger quantities."

"Although many words you said sound unfamiliar to me, I seem to understand the meaning. But, Xiao Bei, if you want to quickly expand to the scale of Fu Hai Lou, Brother Ziqiu may disappoint you," Jo Er hesitated slightly.

"And me," Cheng Mo now has only one thought, which is to absolutely support Xiao Bei.

"Don't worry about this. You don't need to invest money either. I have a way. If Brother Ziqiu has finished eating, would you mind moving to the desk over there? We can talk and write at the same time." Unable to help it, Xiao Bei prefers to outline the key points and explain details.

"No problem, I'm done eating. Please, Brother Xian," the three of them walked to the table together, spread out the manuscript, and Xiao Bei first explained the classification plan for the products in Ze Bei Zhen's South-North Supermarket series. Using a quick hand-drawn three-dimensional elevation drawing, she showed the entire layout and spatial impression of the shopping mall. Then, she vividly simulated the shopping and checkout process of a shopaholic woman. When she stopped, the two were still immersed in the imaginative world of this novel business model, "How about it? Do you two want to have such a supermarket? Do you want to be the boss?"

"Wonderful, I also want to open such a store, oh, no, such a supermarket." Cheng Mo is somewhat jealous of Ziqiu.

"No problem, you can. Where do you want to open it? In Dongbin County or in Jinling City? Once you find a storefront and warehouse, we will have a dedicated team to decorate it in the same style as Ze Bei Zhen, including all our main products in each series. They will be supplied to you at the wholesale prices only available to the largest buyers. All settlement statements, shopping carts, shopping bags, and baskets will be uniformly delivered to you. You just need to send your shopkeeper and staff to Ze Bei Zhen for one month of training. You can send them anytime in the future, and the expenses will be borne by you. For all of this, you just need to pay us the most favorable original franchise fee, and you will be the young owner of South-North Supermarket - Jinling Store."

Looking at Cheng Mo with sparkling eyes, North said, "Of course, you can also independently purchase more related products and sell local specialties. We won't interfere. You're the boss! We have what Fu Hai Lou has, but not everything Fu Hai Lou has we necessarily have. How about it? Do you want to join?"

"Yes, I want to." Cheng Mo was eager, like a teenager caught up in MLM, and Qiao Er's eyes lit up. Could business be done like this?

"Good, sir, please register over there. We will select the best among all applicants or proceed through competition to start cooperation. After all, we will only open one South-North Supermarket in each region."

"Oh, North, why would you refuse when people are willing to give you money to open a store?" Qiao Er could imagine that if more and more people came with money to become franchisees and open stores, he just needed to do well in his big supplier business. So why refuse?

"It's simple. Since they all carry the name of my South-North Supermarket, we should try our best to ensure that every partner under the brand can grow positively. What if there are five Fu Hai Lou opened in Ze Bei Zhen?"

"Yes, understood. I am dull, Brother."
