Chapter 223 Restricted Coffee Shop

You still want to focus on Cat Cafes and Maid Cafes?

Listening to Su Dan, Chen Mo snorted inwardly. He had been too careless, not expecting these people to think of the Cat Cafe and Maid Cafe approach.

Otherwise, if they still wanted to open a Cat Cafe and Maid Cafe, they could forget about it.

However, now that both coffee shops were already open and profitable, if he wanted to close them, the system simply wouldn't allow it.

Since he couldn't cancel them, he could only find a way to curb the development of these two types of coffee shops.

After all, he still had to open five coffee shops this month. If they were all Cat Cafes or Maid Cafes, wouldn't that mean an additional 2 million yuan in income every month?

Such a thing was absolutely not allowed to happen.

After some thought, he finally came up with the right words.

He looked up at Su Dan and Song Xia.

"I fully understand your eagerness to make the coffee shops profitable, but focusing on Cat Cafes and Maid Cafes for coffee shop branches is not advisable."

"That's right, Cat Cafes and Maid Cafes are indeed profitable, but are these two coffee shops still selling coffee?"

Hearing Mr. Chen, Su Dan nodded in agreement.

In her heart, she was somewhat resistant to these two types of coffee shops. Just as Mr. Chen said, these two coffee shops were no longer selling coffee.

If the name 'coffee' were replaced with something else, it could still work.

For example, Cat Restaurants, Maid Restaurants.

She believed that as long as these two types of restaurants opened, they could still attract a large number of customers.

Therefore, whether it was a Maid Cafe or a Cat Cafe, customers were not consuming the coffee itself.

It was the maids and the cats.

But there was no other way; traditional coffee shops truly weren't profitable. The only method she could think of was to use these two types of coffee shops to help Nan He (South and) Coffee gain fame.

Chen Mo glanced at them indifferently and continued.

"These two types of coffee shops have deviated from my original intention for opening coffee shops. My reason for opening boutique coffee shops is to provide a quiet, relaxing environment where people can slow down in this fast-paced metropolis."

"And Cat Cafes and Maid Cafes clearly cannot achieve that."

"I don't deny the success of these two types of coffee shops. They can continue to open branches, but there must be a limit: only one of each type per city is sufficient."

"Jiang City already has a Cat Cafe and a Maid Cafe, so there's no need to open these two types of coffee shops in Jiang City again. If you want to open more branches, you'll have to wait until the branches expand to other cities before making plans."

With the restriction of opening only one per city, there was no need to worry about too many of these two types of coffee shops leading to excessive profits.

After all, it would be a long time before the coffee shops spread across the entire country.

By that time, he would have already converted his personal assets many times over, becoming a multi-billionaire.

Song Xia and Zhou Mei's expressions were somewhat downcast upon hearing this.

They had been envisioning in the past two days that if Cat Cafes and Maid Cafes both expanded to 10 stores, the monthly revenue would be very considerable.

But they hadn't expected Mr. Chen to come today and directly shatter their illusions.

However, since Mr. Chen had already spoken, they couldn't argue.

Su Dan hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke.

"But in that case, the reputation of normal coffee shops won't be established quickly. Continuing to open branches will only lead to more and more unprofitable coffee shops!"

Listening to Su Dan, Chen Mo chuckled inwardly.

That's right,

This is what I need.

But on the surface, he couldn't say that.

"Didn't I tell you already? Reputation is something that can't be rushed; just take it slow."

"Also, why is Starbucks so famous? Isn't it because they have so many chain stores? So, to quickly establish the coffee shop's reputation, we need to increase the number of Nan He (South and) Coffee branches."

Chen Mo smiled faintly, stating his second purpose for coming today.

"So, I've decided to open five more Nan He (South and) Coffee branches, all of them authentic boutique coffee shops. Currently, Nan He (South and) Coffee has enough of these two special types of coffee shops; no other special coffee shops are needed."

At the end, he emphasized it again.

He was genuinely worried that this group of people would come up with more unexpected ideas for him.

Like a Dog Cafe, for example.

Open five more branches?

Hearing Mr. Chen's words,

Su Dan and Song Xia, along with the others, all fell into a daze.

The newly opened coffee shops had just started operating, and now they were going to open five more branches so quickly? This seemed a bit too fast.

Su Dan was the first to recover, looking at Chen Mo.

"Mr. Chen, isn't opening branches like this too fast?!"

All five of these would be normal boutique coffee shops, which undoubtedly meant five more unprofitable coffee shops!

"Not fast, not fast. Only this way can we establish the coffee shop's reputation. The requirements for opening stores are the same as before; you should implement them as quickly as possible. As for the funds for opening, they will be transferred to Nan He (South and) Coffee's account tomorrow."

Having arranged everything,

Chen Mo left directly. Although the Cat Cafe and Maid Cafe had deviated from his plan,

with his adjustments and restrictions, they wouldn't affect his settlement.

The profits from the two types of coffee shops only meant he would lose a little less. However, as more and more normal boutique coffee shops opened, the revenue from the Cat Cafe and Maid Cafe would become less significant.

…………..

Tiange Club.

Chen Cong looked at the death screen, couldn't help but tap the keyboard, and was eliminated again.

He felt a deep sense of malice from this game. When he used to play games,

as long as he spent a few hundred thousand or a million yuan in the game, he could become a big shot in it.

But in this game, his money was useless.

No,

he couldn't even spend it if he wanted to.

At most, he could only spend 18 yuan and one jiao a month.

He even spent more than that on fighting landlords!

If it were any other game, he would have uninstalled it and stopped playing long ago, but this game was too damn fun.

Even if he died,

he still wanted to play.

He exited the death screen, created a new Room, and then shared the Room information in the game group.

But after waiting for a while,

there were only a little over 30 people who entered the Room.

Seeing that no one was entering, Chen Cong sent a message in the group.

"Those who haven't entered the Room yet, hurry up and get in."

Someone replied quickly.

"Still in the game."

"I'm in the final circle here; I'll be out soon."

"Brother Hao, didn't you just start the game? How did you get out so quickly?"

"……."

Looking at the messages in the group, Chen Cong's face darkened, but he also knew that he wouldn't be able to find teammates in this group in a short time.

After thinking for a moment, he directly pulled out his phone and made a call.

The call connected, and he spoke directly.

"Mei Youqian, help me find some game players. We need to test a game, and I will pay a certain remuneration."
