Um, how much is the franchise fee?

"Snail Beauty, what is this?"

"It seems to be selling snails."

"Is this even considered a brand?"

"Do they think we're idiots?"

It must be said that online netizens were not fools.

Although the advertisement was all over the place, not everyone believed it.

"Let him be, let him act on his own."

"If someone joins, I'll eat dung."

"I want to call and curse him, promising at least 5,000 yuan a month, no 5,000 yen."

Many netizens cursed from time to time.

It was an insult to their own intelligence.

However, some people cursed, but not everyone did.

Especially those who had the idea of opening a shop, when they saw these posts, even though they felt it was fake, they couldn't help but want to find out more.

"Um, honey, what do you think of this Snail Beauty shop?"

"Snail Beauty, never heard of it."

"I haven't heard of it either, but recently they've been advertising, saying that you can invest as little as one or two thousand, and earn 5,000 yuan a month."

"Is it really that good? Sounds like a scam."

"Come take a look."

Pointing at the advertisement on the computer, Liu Chunsheng said to his wife.

"Honey, are you out of your mind? This is obviously a scam."

"I thought the same thing at first."

"But you still believe it?"

"I just want to find out, besides, their shop is in Xinfeng, not far from us. I'll go take a look in person. If it's fake, I'll come back on the spot. If it's real, then we'll join."

"Don't be fooled, I'm telling you, there are a lot of scams online. Things that attract people to join often turn out to be unreliable."

"I know, I know, I'm a grown man, can I still be fooled in person?"

Liu Chunsheng lived in Nankang, not far from Xinfeng, just a few dozen kilometers away.

Round trip, it was only an hour's drive.

Having made up his mind, Liu Chunsheng didn't even call the owner of Snail Beauty, and went to Xinfeng the next day in person.

"I'm going, is this Snail Beauty?"

"This shop is too small."

"Still thinking about joining?"

Snail Beauty was easy to find.

With just one motorcycle ride from Xinfeng, Liu Chunsheng arrived at the Snail Beauty shop.

Originally, Liu Chunsheng thought that a brand called Snail Beauty should be more imposing.

But he didn't expect to see a shop that was just a dozen square meters.

Did they really expect people to join such a shop?

They must be out of their minds, thinking so much about money.

Almost immediately, Liu Chunsheng considered leaving.

Since he had come all this way, though, Liu Chunsheng decided to explore the Xinfeng city area and see if there were any good business opportunities.

After a full circle, he found that there were quite a few shops in Xinfeng city area, offering various types of businesses with good foot traffic. However, Liu Chunsheng had not yet come across a particularly unique business idea.

"How did I end up here again?"

After going in circles, Liu Chunsheng found himself back at Snail Beauty.

He had originally thought about heading back home, but the business at Snail Beauty had caught his attention.

"This business seems quite good."

"They already have six tables now. They sell a bowl of snails for 3 yuan, and each table orders about two bowls, plus alcoholic drinks and beverages..."

"That's about 20 yuan per table, so with six tables, that's 120 yuan. After deducting the costs, they make at least half, which is 60 yuan."

If they could maintain this level of business for 30 days, they could earn around 2,000 yuan a month.

As he calculated in his mind, Liu Chunsheng decided not to go home so soon.

Although earning about 2,000 yuan a month wasn't as impressive as advertised, it was still a good business. Moreover, their advertisement didn't seem to be deceptive. The investment was indeed small, at around 10,000 yuan for such a storefront.

He just didn't know how much the franchise fee was, so he continued to observe.

Taking out a cigarette, Liu Chunsheng didn't approach but watched Snail Beauty from a distance.

At this time, night had fallen, but the popularity of Snail Beauty had only increased.

The six tables of customers that were there earlier were soon joined by another wave.

By 9 o'clock in the evening, there were already 30 tables.

And it didn't stop there.

After 9 o'clock, there was another peak period.

This was when people came out for late-night snacks.

In twos and threes, almost instinctively, they all ended up at Snail Beauty.

"Boss, give us two bowls of snails and four bottles of soy milk."

"Boss, one bowl of garlic snails, six duck feet, and a dozen beers."

"Boss..."

If a table's income before 9 o'clock was about 20 yuan, after 9 o'clock, each table's income reached 30-40 yuan. Assuming a minimum of 50 tables per day, the average daily income reached 1,500 yuan.

In the catering industry, the profit margin was at least fifty percent, which meant they could make a minimum of 750 yuan out of 1,500 yuan.

With 30 days in a month, that would be 20,000...

When he did the math, Liu Chunsheng couldn't contain his excitement.

"Wow, this advertisement is deceiving! Who said it's only 5,000? You can make 20,000 a month!"

"Thank goodness I came to investigate in person; otherwise, I'd regret it."

"Yes, no matter what, I'm going to join Snail Beauty."

Although Liu Chunsheng was merely observing from the sidelines and didn't know the exact daily income of this shop, he was astute. Even if the figures he calculated had a slight discrepancy with the actual numbers, the difference was not significant. The key was that Liu Chunsheng found this kind of establishment absolutely worthy of joining.

"Two boards, give me a bowl of snails."

"Do you want the Thirteen Spice flavor or the Spicy flavor?"

"Oh, there are two more flavors?"

"Not just two, we have five flavors, take a look."

"Oh, then I'll have the Thirteen Spice, no, give me five servings, one of each flavor. Also, bring two bottles of beer."

"Sure thing."

With his heart racing, Liu Chunsheng couldn't resist the urge to taste it himself.

Indeed, Snail Beauty did not disappoint him.

Not only was this storefront doing well, but they also offered five different flavors of snails, all of which were incredibly satisfying. He almost forgot why he had come here in the first place.

"Sir, hello, have you finished your meal? We're about to close."

"Oh, yes, I'm done. I'm sorry, I was lost in thought."

It was 2 a.m., and Snail Beauty was preparing to close.

Liu Chunsheng apologized and then asked, "Um, I wanted to inquire about something. How much is the franchise fee for your business?"

"Franchise?"

Chen Simian seemed a bit confused.

What franchise? Why didn't he know about it?

Fortunately, Zhang Wenxiu reacted quickly. She patted Chen Simian and said, "Sir, are you interested in franchising our Snail Beauty?"

"Yes, I find your Snail Beauty to be very distinctive, so I thought of opening one in Nankang County."

"Oh, you're from the neighboring Nankang County? Come on in, let's talk inside..."

Chen Simian had a smile on his face.

He just didn't understand how this customer suddenly decided to franchise while eating?

If other customers followed suit in the future, how much money could they make?
