After Wang Qin'er and Wang Ximeng rented a shop in partnership, they began to run the teahouse.
Wang Ximeng wanted to make something a little more high-end, so the tea in this teahouse couldn't just use cheap tea, but had to get some good tea, and selling it for five taels of silver a pot was nothing.
Her plan here was not wrong, but it was still very difficult to actually implement it.
For example, where do you buy this good tea?
And how many storytellers should I find in this teahouse? Where can I find them?
A teahouse can't just serve tea, it also has to have some snacks, right? Not only that, but the decoration is also a big deal. It shouldn't be too tacky, and it shouldn't look too rich, otherwise it will easily offend the literati.
Things haven't been done yet at the teahouse, but something happened again at the beauty salon.
This time it wasn't that there was something wrong with Wang Ximeng's recipe, or that one of the customers was allergic, but that another beauty salon opened not far from them, and it looked more upscale than theirs, and the products they sold were There are many.
Zheng Tingting immediately realized the crisis and quickly called Wang Ximeng to discuss countermeasures.
"All our customers have left, and the really rich ones don't come to our place anymore. How can we still make money?"
Beauty business was originally about making money for the rich, but now it is being attracted to better places, so they naturally have fewer customers here.
"Don't worry, have you been to that newly opened beauty salon? How are the things inside? Are the beauty techniques the same as those here?"
Zheng Tingting's face sank: "It's different. There are more things than what we have here, and I heard that we can also help people prepare medicated meals to keep in shape. However, the beauty techniques are similar to what we have here. I have already asked people to check it out. Let’s see which life-hungry thing betrayed us.”
After checking around, they found no problem with the beauticians here. Those who signed the contract are all working here.
The techniques of beauticians are all taught by Wang Qin'er, so before teaching, they will sign contracts with these people. Once they break the contract, they will have to pay a high fee.
So far, all of their beauticians are still here, and none of them has asked to terminate the contract, but they have no clue which one betrayed them.
Wang Ximeng was also furious. Beauty techniques were naturally the key, otherwise she wouldn't be so careful.
It's just that she didn't expect that she would be so careful, and these beauticians were basically servants of the Zheng family, that accidents could happen again.
"The beautician can't be found here, so let's check the beauty products first. They also made facial masks and moisturizing creams like we do here?"
Moisturizing cream is actually a type of facial cream, but Wang Ximeng thinks that changing the name can achieve better results.
As a result, the effect was achieved, but now it is almost useless.
Wang Ximeng felt that this matter was the fault of Zheng Tingting. After all, the manpower here was arranged by Zheng Tingting. There were only a few of her people in total, so it was impossible to betray her.
Zheng Tingting also felt that it was impossible for her to betray her master. The biggest problem may lie with Wang Ximeng's servants.
Before their opponents could exert any force, their two bosses started to feel bad.
"Ms. Zheng, who is behind that beauty salon? Can you find out?"
Zheng Tingting shook her head: "I ordered to go check, but there is no news. But I saw that the other party's shop is larger than ours, and the decoration is better than ours. I heard that they even signed a contract with Four Seasons Tea After signing the contract, the customized milk tea can be specially delivered there, which will make the guests who go there feel more noble."
When Wang Ximeng heard this, his face darkened: "Is this Four Seasons Tea Talk Mrs. Cheng's property?"
Zheng Tingting glanced at her: "Yes, it is Xie Rongzhao's property, but it should have nothing to do with Xie Rongzhao. When they open the door to do business, the price offered there is high, and if they are willing to give it away, it will get more business. There is no reason not to make money. "
Wang Ximeng has a dark face. Of course she understands such a simple truth. She just thinks that being able to connect with Four Seasons Tea Language means that the owner of the new beauty salon should have some relationship with the Xie family.
Zheng Tingting didn't expect this, but when Wang Ximeng explained it, she thought it made sense.
"Xie Rongzhao is amazing. She is Mr. Xie Ge's biological daughter, and her status is more noble than mine. I can't afford to offend her. People who can be friends with her are basically powerful people in the capital, so we have nothing to do with her. The odds are against us.”
In fact, not to mention Zheng Tingting, Wang Ximeng also had such a hunch. After all, the opponent was coming fiercely, and they couldn't afford to fight such a big battle.
A few days later, Mrs. Zheng called Zheng Tingting to her and asked her how the business of the beauty salon was going.
"Income is very poor these days. The original opening time was not long. Many ladies and ladies only applied for monthly cards. Those who are really willing to apply for annual cards can be counted on the palm of a hand. Now there are basically no new customers. If you are an old customer, they have paid money.”
So, I didn't think of this when I was having fun with the money. Now that I have basically no income, I think about it. Isn't it a bit silly?
Mrs. Zheng sighed: "That's all, let's do this for now. Withdraw some of the manpower, your store's expenses will be reduced. If it starts losing money next month, this store might as well not open."
Zheng Tingting stared, obviously still unconvinced.
"Why? I was obviously the one who started this business, and that business even opened it so close to us on purpose. This is too bullying!"
Mrs. Zheng shook her head: "So what if I open it in your house? What if you started it first? Think about it, they didn't steal your recipe, they didn't come and smash it, they just opened the door in a serious manner. When it comes to business, what can you do to him?"
These words made Zheng Tingting suddenly lose her support and could no longer be arrogant.
Their products are obviously more than theirs, and their staff is rich, and I heard that they even pay attention to the tea they drink. There is no doubt that all the high-end customers in the capital will be poached by them.
"Mom, do you know who is behind that beauty salon?"
Mrs. Zheng was silent for a moment, but decided to tell her to save the child from getting into trouble again.
"My good daughter, that is someone we cannot afford to offend. It is the property protected by the eldest princess. We have no choice but to take a step back."
Zheng Tingting had an expression of disbelief on her face. How could she be the eldest princess?
"The eldest princess has a distinguished status, so naturally she won't compete with you for any business. The person who runs this shop is a close associate of the eldest princess, so we can't fight, so we might as well just avoid it."
