Chapter 447 Mr. Ma Wants to Start a Business Again (Please Vote for Me!!!)

On the other side, Qin Hao and Xu Hongdou strolled back to the windy courtyard. When they entered the courtyard, they saw Master Ma drinking tea with Aunt Agui.

Aunt Agui didn't know what she said, which made Master Ma look heavy.

"Xiao Qin, Hongdou, you are back. It's getting late, so I won't chat with you anymore. I have to go back to cook for Deqing. You should also think carefully about what I said and don't act like a disabled person all day long. Go to the yard and do nothing, this person has to make himself move." Aunt Agui stood up and left.

When Xu Hongdou saw this, she comforted Mr. Ma: "Master Ma, Aunt Agui is a sharp-tongued person, so don't get angry with her."

But Mr. Ma waved his hand and sighed: "Aunt Agui's words are not rude. In fact, I have been suffering in my heart these days, especially after Xiao Qin bought the B&B. I want to The little flame of starting a business again is constantly growing.”

Qin Hao joked: "Master Ma, you want to start a business if you want to start a business. Why do you blame me? I won't bear the blame."

Mr. Ma's excitedly waving hand paused in the air and then lowered it: "Okay, it has nothing to do with you. I want to start a business on my own. Otherwise, how about you giving me some advice?"

"I'll treat you to tea."

Seeing that Qin Hao and Xu Hongdou were silent, Master Ma added another sentence.

Xu Hongdou winked slyly: "It's not a loss to get another tea."

"Of course." Qin Hao said, imitating Master Ma's accent.

Mr. Ma smiled bitterly: "Okay, stop teasing me and sit down quickly. I can't wait any longer."

After Qin Hao and Xu Hongdou sat down, Mr. Ma first poured them tea and then talked about his business idea.

Generally speaking, Mr. Ma’s idea is to start with tea, which he is most familiar with, and prepare to build a tea chain brand that is as close to the tastes of young people as possible.

After Master Ma finished speaking, he carefully waited for the reactions of Qin Hao and Xu Hongdou.

Xu Hongdou thought for a while and said, "Master Ma, most of the current tea brands are milk tea, ranging from low-end to high-end. If you want to make a tea brand, you must think clearly about the characteristics of the tea brand itself and its positioning."

Mr. Ma nodded and asked with an earnest look: "Is there any more?"

"That's all for now." Xu Hongdou looked at Qin Hao and shook his head.

Then Mr. Ma cast his earnest eyes on Qin Hao and gave him another cup of tea.

Qin Hao frowned: "Master Ma, do you want me to tell the truth? Or a lie?"

"Of course that's the truth." Mr. Ma said sincerely.

Qin Hao nodded and paused for about a minute before speaking.

"As Hongdou said just now, there are many tea brands on the market now, covering all aspects of consumers. Rather than saying that these tea brands sell tea, it is better to say that they sell sugar, milk, It’s fruit. If you want to make a relatively pure tea drink, Mr. Ma, I’m afraid it will be difficult to win the favor of young people.”

"And if you implement a similar strategy to other tea brands, how can you ensure that you can compete with them? If you just walk around on those commercial streets now, you will find a milk tea shop almost every few meters. , many tea drink brands are also facing losses and closing stores in large areas. Franchising tea drinks has now become a recognized sinkhole. It is also difficult for you to quickly expand the number of stores. If you invest in operations alone, the volume is too small. Instead of investing money in this area, it’s better to do some other business.”

Qin Hao's words were like a basin of cold water that poured cold water over Mr. Ma's heart. He was stunned for a long time and could not recover.

Xu Hongdou touched Qin Hao with her elbow and complained that he spoke too harshly.

Qin Hao doesn't think so. According to the subsequent plot, Mr. Ma has to sell the house in his hometown in order to start a business. It is his only property. Once the business fails, there will be no way out. According to Mr. Ma's business plan Generally speaking, his business venture will most likely lose money.

After a while, Mr. Ma came back to his senses and nodded with difficulty: "Yes, I haven't thought about the issues you mentioned clearly."

Seeing Master Ma's face full of disappointment, Qin Hao thought for a while and gave a suggestion.

"Actually, I think that instead of squeezing an already crowded track, it is better to create a track that has a smaller audience but is relatively more profitable and less competitive."

Master Ma's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked eagerly: "What track?"

"Similar to a traditional tea house, you can combine your advantages with online sales channels and strictly select some tea gardens that are not well-known but of good quality to create your own brand."

After listening to Qin Hao's words, Mr. Ma's previous depression and frustration disappeared, and he slapped his thigh in surprise.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that? Nowadays, those offline tea shops often sell inferior tea as good quality, and the originally cheap tea is sold at sky-high prices. I understand tea and the Internet, so I have an advantage over them!"

With that said, Master Ma could no longer sit still and went back to his room to write a plan.

Xu Hongdou shook his head when he saw this: "This is the first time I've seen Master Ma lose his composure."

"He is already so virtuous, but you were deceived by his appearance as a 'superior person'." Qin Hao picked up the tea cup to moisten his dry throat.

As soon as he put down the tea cup, he realized that Xu Hongdou had been staring at him.

"Is there something on my face?"

Xu Hongdou propped up her chin: "I'm wondering what kind of true face you hide behind this appearance."

"As time goes by, you will know people's hearts." Qin Hao showed a meaningful smile.

After lunch, Mr. Ma went out with his plan, saying that he wanted to ask Xie Zhiyao for help, probably hoping to attract investment through his connections.

Qin Hao and Xu Hongdou went out to pave the road. When they arrived at the small shop, they saw four little mythical beasts from Yunmiao Village eating popsicles.

"Sister Hongdou, do you want some popsicles? I'll treat you."

A little guy with mushroom hair greeted Xu Hongdou enthusiastically.

Xu Hongdou was happy, squatted down and said, "Thank you Huzi, but no, I just finished eating and I don't want to eat yet."

Huzi rolled his eyes: "But we just finished eating and we really want to eat popsicles."

"Yes." Xie Xiaochun's daughter, Xiao Hulu, nodded with deep approval.

Hearing this, Xu Hongdou changed the subject and asked, "Where did you get the money to buy popsicles?"

Huzi straightened his chest immediately: "My father and mother gave it to me."

Tuotuo on the side added: "Huzi's father and mother came back from Guangzhou to visit him and gave him a lot of pocket money. My father and mother will soon go to Kunming to work, and they will also give me pocket money every day." Where’s the money?”

"Yes, it's so good." Xu Hongdou pretended to be amazed.

Huzi still looked like a young adult: "So Sister Hongdou, you don't have to be polite to us."

"Okay, let's do it next time. I really can't eat anymore." Seeing Huzi's cute appearance, Xu Hongdou couldn't help but reach out and pinch his little face.

The children couldn't stay any longer, so Little Gourd asked to play a game. The four little mythical beasts immediately abandoned Xu Hongdou and ran away.

Xu Hongdou looked at the backs of the little beasts and smiled brightly. When she looked up, she found Qin Hao looking at her with a very strange look.

"What are you looking at?" Xu Hongdou rolled his eyes at Qin Hao.

Qin Hao stretched out his hand to hug Xu Hongdou and said softly: "You like children so much, how about we have a few in the future?"

"No, you're treating me like a sow!" Xu Hongdou pinched Qin Hao angrily.

"That one is fine, as you like."

Only then did Xu Hongdou realize that she had been deceived: "Who wants to have a child with you? Stop being so pretty."

"Really not giving birth?"

"Not alive."

The two bickered and played all the way, and the flirting between handsome men and beautiful women also attracted the attention of many tourists.

When it was time to cool down in the evening, Mr. Ma began to talk about his entrepreneurial idea impassionedly, and he didn't forget to add one sentence after he finished speaking.

"Of course, thanks to Xiao Qin's guidance, I directly opened up my Ren and Du second line."

"Uh, Xiao Qin, do you think there are any loopholes in my plan?"

Seeing Master Ma's cautious look, Qin Hao was a little amused: "Master Ma, when it comes to understanding tea, you definitely know better than me. I just provide an idea. It's okay to just talk about it. Don't expect me to do anything else. ”

Later, Mr. Ma talked about how he met Xie Zhiyao, and also talked about his glorious past. It can be seen that Mr. Ma is still a very passionate person. When he talked about his entrepreneurial history, it was two eyes. shine.

"Besides, I also made a decision, I want to go back! I'll leave tomorrow."

As soon as these words came out, Damai and Nana were both calm: "So sudden?"

Mr. Ma said guiltily: "I have been avoiding going home all these years. If I start a business again this time, I will be too busy to even bother going home. I have to take this opportunity to go back and spend time with my parents."

Xu Hongdou was secretly amused that Mr. Ma, who usually seemed slow and slow, was actually a man of action and would leave as soon as he said so.

"Then let's wish Mr. Ma a safe journey."

"Have a safe trip."

"Okay, thank you everyone. With your support, I am confident that I can get things done this time!" Mr. Ma was so moved that he suffocated the can in one gulp.

Damai felt a little sad for a moment, and his eyes were red.

"Master Ma is gone, and my lease term is less than half a month."

Nana quickly comforted her: "It's okay. Videos are so convenient now. Whenever you miss us, just send us a video. I'll take my phone and go wherever you want to watch."

"Woo~~~Sister Nana, you are so good."

Seeing Damai cry, Xu Hongdou was also a little sad. Her lease was only for a month and a half, and she would eventually leave here. Although the time in Yunmiao Village was not as long as the time in the capital, she was given a home here. a feeling of.

Suddenly, Mr. Ma left Yunmiao Village with his suitcase, which made Damai and Xu Hongdou not have a good appetite. For the first time, Qin Hao had leftovers from his meal.

In the afternoon, Qin Hao took Xu Hongdou out to relax, and happened to meet Xie Zhiyao's family going out to worship their ancestors. It could be seen that Xie Zhiyao was not in a good mood, and he was probably thinking of his grandfather and his mother.

"I heard from Mr. Xie that his parents had a good relationship before, but later they married Xie Zhiyuan's mother. Are all you men like this?" Xu Hongdou suddenly said.

Qin Hao didn't expect that she would suddenly say such a sentence, it was just a gift.

"There is a teenage gap between Mr. Xie and Xie Zhiyuan. Mr. Xie's mother passed away early. Mr. Xie's father was only in his thirties at that time. Is it normal to remarry?"

"Hmph, if one day, I will too"

Xu Hongdou's eyes turned red before she finished speaking. It was not that she was sentimental, but that she inexplicably thought of Chen Nanxing, who died young.

When Qin Hao saw this, he knew why she was so sad. He hugged her tightly and comforted her: "It is precisely because we don't know when tomorrow and accidents will come, so we must cherish the present and live every day well."

"Well, I know, I just feel a little guilty. Chen Nanxing could have come here alone, but I let her go for three years." Xu Hongdou sobbed softly.

Qin Hao didn't try to persuade him any more. Xu Hongdou blamed Chen Nanxing on himself for not fulfilling his wish, largely because he was afraid that he would forget the other person.

That night, Xie Zhiyao came to Youfeng Courtyard with a beer and said he wanted to treat everyone to a drink. However, you could tell from his expression that he must be in a bad mood.

Simply speaking, Master Ma's departure made everyone a little sad, and even Barley drank a lot.

Xie Zhiyao said with a bitter look on his face: "My father and mother went to Kunming to work when I was very young. Later, my mother's condition suddenly worsened. I didn't even see her for the last time. Many times I just I wonder if my grandmother would not have left so early if my parents had not gone to Kunming. She was only in her thirties at the time."

Xu Hongdou felt worried. Isn't Chen Nanxing only thirty years old?

"So, you invested in so many industries in Yunmiao Village just so that children like Huzi don't have to leave their parents when they were young?" Qin Hao bumped into Xie Zhiyao and could only use the word "admiration" for Xie Zhiyao's character. to describe.

Xie Zhiyao nodded and said with a wry smile: "But it seems to be of no use. Huzi's parents still have to go to Guangzhou to work, and Tuotuo's parents have to go to Kunming. In the future, there will be fewer and fewer children in Yunmiao Village. It can't be done well. One day this place will become a deserted village with only old people."

"You, sometimes you just like to carry things that have nothing to do with you. Urbanization is a natural choice for social progress and will not change with personal wishes. It is already very good that you can do this now."

Facing Qin Hao's comfort, Xie Zhiyao finally showed a smile on his face: "Okay, if I can get a compliment from you, it means that I have not worked in vain all these years."

He drowned his sorrows with wine and became even more sorrowful. Soon Xie Zhiyao drank too much, and Qin Hao could only carry him to Grandma Xie's house.

Seeing this, Grandma Xie quickly called over Xie Siping to carry her grandson into the room to rest.

Qin Hao was about to leave, but was stopped by Xie Siping.

"Well, Xiao Qin, right? I've heard grandma praise you often since I came back. Thank you for today."

Qin Hao smiled: "Uncle, you are too polite."

Before Qin Hao could finish speaking, Xie Siping grabbed Qin Hao's hand and said earnestly: "Xiao Qin, I can see that you have a good relationship with Ah Yao, please help me persuade this little bastard. .”
