Chapter 728: 734 Business Expansion_1

Shen Hanqian gave her friend a look and replied bluntly, "Your mom is at best a small shop owner, she’ll probably never own a food empire!"

Lin Xiangwan didn’t like this comment at all. "Why can’t I build an empire? Qianqian, just wait and see if I have the ability!"

"Fine then, I’m certainly looking forward to it!" Shen Hanqian provocatively smiled.

Meanwhile, Xuexue was quietly chuckling to herself on the side.

"I can do it!" Lin Xiangwan reiterated to herself.

The next day Lin Xiangwan approached Su Yueze to discuss plans to expand ’HomeLove’ by renting new locations and opening more branches.

Hearing this, Su Yueze was quite surprised. He looked at her in disbelief, as though she were insane. "Aren’t you moving too fast? Your store just opened a few months ago and now you’re considering branching out? Do you have enough capital, enough energy, a comprehensive plan? Did you do any market research? Are you sure your branches will be profitable?"

Lin Xiangwan was left speechless by Su Yueze’s barrage of questions. "I..."

Apart from this word, she surprisingly had no other answers.

Shen Hanqian nodded. "Xiangwan, I shouldn’t have undermined you yesterday, but Su Yueze is making sense here. Business isn’t a joke that you can just whimsically handle!"

Regardless, she will not be a businesswoman herself. But after graduation, she willingly became an instructor in college.

Even then, Lin Xiangwan kept insisting. "Can’t you stop making things so complicated? Sometimes there’s no room for hesitation in taking action. Like when I opened this shop, I didn’t have much preparation. I even didn’t join any franchise or possess a secret recipe, I just hired a mentor who taught me some procedures. Isn’t my small shop doing well? I have a steady stream of customers and daily occupancy is quite high."

"That’s because in recent years, the Spicy Hot Pot business has been booming, constantly being referenced in media, TV dramas. However, do you think it can be delicious forever? Once this trend is gone, I think it’ll stop being profitable!"

"It’s not true, Spicy Hot Pot has been popular nationwide for many years now and is still going strong. It shows that it has great vitality. How could it possibly stop being popular when I decide to expand?" Lin Xiangwan argued.

"But I think this business doesn’t have much potential and is not a mainstream industry!" Su Yueze announced straightaway.

Having had years of business experience, Su Yueze was very perceptive about investments. His opinions couldn’t be ignored by Lin Xiangwan. "What if it’s not mainstream? Online shopping began as a non-mainstream approach, but just look around now, who doesn’t shop online? Look at how many physical stores are finished? Look at how many malls have closed down? Being non-mainstream doesn’t mean the absence of a potential future or the inability to become mainstream!"

"Where’s this twisted logic coming from? You also mentioned that Spicy Hot Pot was popular across the country years ago, but why it is still just a snack? How much profit do you think a snack can make? When I say it’s not viable, it’s not viable!"

After listening to this, Shen Hanqian nodded vigorously. "Xiangwan, Su Yueze is right. You should take his advice. Besides, you just want to expand ’HomeLove’, you don’t necessarily have to stick with Spicy Hot Pot. Don’t you think it would be embarrassing to be called the Spicy Hot Pot Boss? You can also do something else!"

Initially, Lin Xiangwan brushed off their objections, but on reflection, she realized they made sense.

Naturally, this stuff doesn’t have a high status, and it certainly can’t fetch a good price in the end.

"’HomeLove’. I think the name can be applied to a wide range of industry products, such as home decor, revolutionizing kitchenware, etc..." Shen Hanqian casually commented.

Lin Xiangwan’s eyes widened as a lightbulb went off in her mind, she continued speaking. "Exactly, I could also keep doing coffee, juices, production of various trinkets, all of these things can be done! Haha, can I even start a school, teaching young girls how to make their husbands love their home, love themselves..."

While saying these things, she suddenly looked uncomfortable.

Shen Hanqian awkwardly laughed. "Haha, your ideas are really imaginative, and pretty good!"

Lin Xiangwan gave a deep sigh. "I can’t even get my own man, how am I supposed to manage other people’s matters? This is too funny!"

Su Yueze raised his eyebrows, looking somewhat approving. "Actually, your ideas are really good. Your business doesn’t directly correlate with your personal relationships. What matters is the ultimate effect!"

Lin Xiangwan chuckled. "But the techniques I offered, when put into practice, just made the men run off. Wouldn’t that lead the school to eventually collapse?"

"But you’re right about one thing. For example, you mentioned soft decor. That does have potential. Now, the housing market is in decline, the decoration market is also stagnating, yet the soft decor market is on the rise. Many people have money, but they don’t know how to buy bedsheets, curtains, furniture, and such. Indeed, there’s a huge market for this!"

"But..." Shen Hanqian found something wrong. "Wouldn’t that require constant accompaniment with clients when shopping? I feel it is too time-consuming? Too much focused on the service nature, I don’t think there’s a development prospect."

"That’s wrong, the business opportunities brewing within this are far from minor! If Xiangwan can manage this well, I think she’ll benefit a lot!" Su Yueze said with high expectations.

Lin Xiangwan was a bit confused, she pointed at her nose. "I think my aesthetic sense is quite good, understanding how to match furniture and curtains. But to earn money from this, do you think I can do it? I haven’t studied this field professionally, I haven’t even studied fine arts!"

"That’s not important. You can use design software proficiently and that’s enough. Actually, specialised requirements for this job aren’t high, what it requires is a type of sales method. It all depends on your communication skills." Su Yueze explained.

"Really? So it doesn’t require much expertise?"

"About aesthetics, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There’s no standard answer. As long as you can convince buyers that yours is the best and the most beautiful, and as long as they accept it and buy your stuff, then you’re victorious. Do you understand what I mean?"
