Go to Kyoto Nanwa Coffee

"General Manager Chen, I have already arranged breakfast." Shen Rou said.

She had consulted with General Manager Chen about the breakfast time yesterday.

"Hmm, bring it in." Chen Mo glanced at the food cart and nodded.

The hotel waiter pushed the food cart into the Room, carefully placed the breakfast on the dining table, and then pushed the cart away.

"General Manager Chen, is there any agenda for today?" At the dining table, Shen Rou asked.

"Let's go take a look at the Nanhe Coffee office in Kyoto." Chen Mo said casually.

Yesterday, Chang Rui said he wanted to expand Nanrui Coffee to Kyoto, so he wanted to go over and understand the situation.

This was probably the best news he had heard at the banquet yesterday.

Along with Tang Qiu's Hundred Books Law Firm.

This Chang Rui really was a great help to him.

But the only pity was that, by the end of last night, he still hadn't found any projects at the banquet where he could lose money.

It seemed he would just have to wait for the project bidding in October.

There was also the shared bike project for Chen Cong and the others; that profit cycle would take a long time.

However, the seeds had already been sown, so it was just a matter of waiting to see when they would bloom and bear fruit.

But according to his own estimates, it would probably take at least a year to receive any dividends.

"Alright, General Manager Chen, I will go notify the person in charge of the Nanhe Coffee office in Kyoto." Shen Rou nodded, then took out her phone and stood up to walk to the side.

…

Kyoto, Nanhe Coffee office, office.

"What should we do? General Manager Chen is coming to our office in a while." Liu Xiang hung up the phone and looked at her sister with a nervous expression.

"Do you think General Manager Chen already knows that Nanrui Coffee has opened here in Kyoto?"

"This… knowing is only a matter of time. What we need to do is find a good way to respond." Liu Meng frowned deeply.

They had only discovered Nanrui Coffee in the last two days. The reason was that several Nanhe Coffee store managers had reported that new shops were being renovated near them, and the renovation style looked very much like a coffee shop.

She took this matter very seriously; after all, Nanhe Coffee in Jiang Cheng had already gone from being profitable back to losing money due to the appearance of a competitor.

Therefore, she was extremely nervous about the appearance of new coffee shops near Nanhe Coffee.

She immediately arranged for people to go there to understand the situation, and the news she finally received was that those coffee shops under renovation were actually their competitor from Jiang Cheng: Nanrui Coffee.

Nanrui Coffee had come to Kyoto, and judging by the current stance, they were replicating their Jiang Cheng model.

If that was the case, then their Nanhe Coffee here in Kyoto was in danger too.

She had passed this news to Jiang Cheng last night, but she hadn't expected General Manager Chen to come to their office for an inspection today.

How could they not be nervous about this?

"But what should we do to respond? Jiang Cheng has been in a stalemate with Nanrui Coffee for so long, and there's no good solution."

Liu Xiang's face was anxious. During this time, she had also thought about how to solve the problem in Jiang Cheng.

However, she had never thought of a good solution.

The main issue was that Nanrui Coffee's current approach was a "win the battle but lose the war" strategy.

After all, whether in Jiang Cheng or Kyoto, the customer base for coffee was limited. Now there was an extra coffee shop that completely benchmarked against their Nanhe Coffee, and it was even opened near their Nanhe Coffee.

It instantly snatched away more than half of Nanhe Coffee's customers.

Although Nanhe Coffee followed a boutique route, the profit per cup of coffee wasn't very high, and coupled with the pastry set, after losing half the customers, it instantly turned into a loss-making state.

Nanrui Coffee basically completely benchmarked against their Nanhe Coffee. Even though it snatched away more than half of their customers, it still couldn't reach a state of profitability; it just lost a little bit less than they did.

In such a state, she really couldn't find a good solution.

Liu Meng sighed upon hearing this.

She didn't have any good solutions either. "Don't think about it so much. Let's go organize the office staff first. General Manager Chen is coming to our Nanhe Coffee office for the first time; we must organize a welcome ceremony."

"That is definitely necessary." Liu Xiang nodded.

…

Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng Court, entrance.

"Attorney Tang, thank you for your hard work today." Jiang Cheng looked at Tang Qiu, saying with a grateful face.

Today was the day of the court hearing for Tang Qiu's lawsuit against those infringing merchants. Whether those merchants could be made to take their products off the shelves and provide compensation depended on today.

"Rest assured, General Manager Jiang, I am very confident this time." Tang Qiu nodded confidently. This infringement case was still quite simple for her.

After all, she had already collected enough evidence of infringement. As long as she presented it, no one could refute it.

As long as she had this point, no matter what kind of lawyer the other party found, she had a way to deal with it.

Then she turned her head to look at the few intern lawyers following behind her.

"I brought you all here today to let you experience the atmosphere of a real courtroom defense. It is quite different from the mock trials at the firm."

After speaking, she walked directly into the court. Jiang Cheng and the few intern lawyers hurriedly followed behind.

…

Kyoto, Nanhe Coffee office, entrance.

"General Manager Chen, this is the place." Shen Rou got out of the business car, confirmed the address, and looked at the Nanhe Coffee office sign not far ahead.

"Hmm… let's go over." Chen Mo nodded.

The two walked towards the office together.

As they got closer, the two noticed something different.

They saw that at the entrance of the office, a brand-new red carpet had been laid out.

This is… Chen Mo looked at the red carpet and turned to look at Shen Rou.

Shen Rou also shook her head slightly. She had only notified the person in charge here; she hadn't expected such a thing.

Just while the two were stunned, a group of people rushed out neatly and then stood in orderly lines on both sides of the red carpet.

"Hello, General Manager Chen!" The voices were uniform; one look and it was clear they had been trained.

Immediately after, a pair of twins came up to greet them.

"General Manager Chen, the preparations are a bit simple, please forgive us." Liu Meng said apologetically.

From receiving the notice until now, less than two hours had passed; this was all she could prepare.

"No matter! Let's go to the office to talk." Chen Mo waved his hand indifferently. He had only come to understand the situation of Nanhe Coffee in Kyoto; he didn't care about these formalistic things.

"Alright, General Manager Chen, please follow me." Liu Meng and Liu Xiang hurriedly led the way.

Arriving at the office. After Chen Mo looked around the office, he sat down on the sofa in the reception area with Shen Rou.

"General Manager Chen, Assistant Shen, please have some tea." Liu Meng brought over the prepared tea.

"Hmm, you sit down too, and by the way, tell me about the current situation of Nanhe Coffee." Chen Mo took the tea and gestured for the two to sit down.
