Forcing Me to Be Reborn?!-Chapter 646 - 463 Shen Guoqiang: I Don’t Like Cheng Zhu_2

Shen Guoqiang was filled with the ire of "the dragon begets the dragon, the phoenix begets the phoenix, but the capable man’s son can be a fool."

Watching his nearly thirty-year-old son being utterly subservient to a young upstart, without a mind of his own, he actually began to feel a sense of defeat in raising his daughter.

Little did he know, it was precisely for this reason that Cheng Zhu was willing to let Shen Minglang join the Youu Tea team.

Why was he childhood friends with Jiang Wanzhou, but completely incapable of forming a partnership with him?

It was because both had too many ideas of their own.

Indeed, a team needs the clash of ideas,

but if everyone is good friends to start with, clashing all day long, wouldn’t there be internal frustration?

Often, it is exactly because of deep friendships that people take things more seriously!

This is also why he and Little President Jiang belong to the saying, "Apart, they are each brilliant; together, they are a mess."

Shen Minglang was different, he was truly very easy to convince and especially easy to appease.

But so what?

The world is always about the results.

If the result is good, if Cheng Zhu leads him to make big money, then he is a man of vision.

If the result is bad, if Cheng Zhu causes him to lose big money, then he is blind in his assessment of people.

As long as Cheng Zhu continued to be correct, it wasn’t about being subservient but about always standing on the right side!

Choosing someone and then following them all the way is actually quite difficult.

And sometimes, making the right choice is indeed more important than hard work!

Yet, from Shen Guoqiang’s perspective, he naturally didn’t realize that his son had stumbled upon something as incredible as a Reborn.

The middle-aged, proud man even thought to himself, "These two youngsters might both take a big tumble one day!"

...

...

As time went back, Yue Tea, with its second round of funding, began to stand tall!

Chen Yue started making public appearances again, accepting interviews from all sorts of media, and reports about her were everywhere.

Now, some even began to call her the "post-90s richest woman."

The title was indeed a bit showy, but the appeal was absolutely there.

There was, of course, an intention to package and build a personal brand, but this did not affect her ability to garner female fans online.

"Wow! Sister is so amazing!"

"Sister is so cool, she has that elite vibe of someone who has studied abroad!"

"She’s just a rich second-generation, not someone who is completely self-made."

"It’s hilarious, out of all the rich second-generations, how many have actually succeeded in starting their own business?"

"I love her lemon water the most!"

And the most ridiculous thing was that, back in 2015, the male-female opposition on Weibo was not as severe as it later became, but the atmosphere was already there.

Just because Yue Tea had a female founder and Youu Tea had a male founder, it led to a bunch of people praising Yue Tea and attacking Youu Tea!

As if going to drink a milk tea brand created by a man was a betrayal to the female community...

This seemed like an absurd and unbelievable thing, but it actually happened for real!

Moreover, Chen Yue had always built up the persona of an independent woman, which naturally attracted more fans of that type.

In addition, Yue Tea once again began to copy the new products of Youu Tea.

This was the outcome of a meeting with Shendu Capital.

A partner of Shendu Capital expressed, "We need to launch any new products Youu Tea comes out with, and on top of that, keep launching our own new products constantly."

"In this world, most people don’t know the truth. Everyone is just an ordinary customer, just buying a cup of milk tea."

"Since we’re launching categories Youu Tea won’t imitate, in the end, our menu will have more variety!

Some people will compare and might actually think the one with fewer categories, Youu Tea, is copying us."

His point was indeed correct.

Ordinary customers don’t know who originated what.

Everyone just wants a cup of milk tea; they don’t care who developed it.

The only problem is that Yue Tea has so far not had any explosively popular products of its own research and development, which is a bit troubling.

To copy, no problem.

The key is to have your own cornerstone!

This situation led to a continuously increasing budget for developing new products at Yue Tea, and the entire R&D department was under tremendous pressure.

These people were all puzzled: How does Youu Tea’s R&D department manage it?

Actually, Youu Tea’s R&D department was also puzzled: How does the boss manage it?

Typically, it all starts with a "creative" idea from the boss, and then everyone gets to tweaking it.

But somehow, the boss’s every idea catches the market’s taste buds!

Damn, are the tongues of the entire nation under your control?

In fact, this was an understatement.

As a QQ tycoon, Cheng Zhu had control over the skillful tongues of many people late at night.

And among Yue Tea’s strategies was one that was also extremely potent.

That was to open stores around Youu Tea!

For example, in Century Square of Shen City, Youu Tea and Yue Tea are located at two different entrances of the mall, right?

Then, Yue Tea would open one or two more shops around Century Square to intercept the flow!

More shops in an area bring convenience to customers.

On one hand, the lines at each shop will become shorter, and on the other hand, they might end up being closer to your home.

With frequent traffic jams around Century Square, if there’s a more convenient option, some people won’t bother going to Century Square.

Simply put, it’s about outnumbering Youu Tea with sheer store numbers!

"Basically, we need to achieve a three-pronged encirclement. Next to one Youu Tea, we open three Yue Teas!" This was the tactic that Chen Yue and Shendu Capital came up with.
