Love? I'm reborn and I just want to get rewards

Chapter 42: Ideas for Picking Up Money
Su Huai rushed to the school cafeteria without stopping, thinking and reminiscing.

The idea of making homemade sour plum soup came from a hot online event in later generations.

Su Huai didn't have very detailed memories of the incident, but he himself was a practitioner who had been hanging out on the Internet for many years and often chased hot topics.

Therefore, we need to have a deep understanding of what heat really means.

Strictly speaking, this cannot even be considered a normal business. It is just an unconventional marketing campaign with no threshold and relies entirely on micro-management.

There are only 14 days left in the military training. Time is running out, so we must hurry up...

Su Huai quickened his pace and walked towards the cafeteria which was closest to the stadium and also the largest in area.

The first step is to find a processing workshop.

Su Huai already had a target, the Li Jiming porridge buns on the first floor of the cafeteria.

The owner of this store, Li Chengguo, is a very interesting person.

There are so many weird canteens in universities. The fundamental reason may be that relationships are more important than people, and people are more important than craftsmanship. As long as the taste is good, they can make money without doing anything, so there is no need to put too much thought into it.

After making easy money for a long time, the boss will become lazy and arrogant.

Our Brother Li is not crazy at all. His most well-known characteristic is that he is both cowardly and timid.

He married his wife at the end of this year, and starting from the beginning of next year, his wife will have to spend half a day at the window every day.

So, every morning, he nodded and bowed, saying "yes, yes, yes" all the time.

Every afternoon, he would stand in front of the window with his hands behind his back, holding a toothpick in his mouth, and looking at everyone with his neck raised and his beeping loudly.

However, if someone looked at him for more than 5 seconds, he would immediately cough and turn his head away.

Continue looking at him for another 5 seconds, then turn around and go back to the stall, holding up your cheek and start recalling: Have I ever offended that person?
In his previous life, Su Huai always liked to sit in front of his house with his classmates. No matter what they ate, as long as Su Huai came out for some fresh air, they would glare at him back.

They played until the third year of college. Brother Li finally got impatient and walked up to Su Huai with courage. He smiled and said, "Classmate, how about... I treat you to some porridge?"

Su Huai almost laughed to death.

So when he thought of needing a pot to make sour plum soup, Su Huai immediately locked onto Li Chengguo - not only did he have many pots at home, but they were also very big.

The most important thing is... people are easy to manipulate!
When they reached the window, Brother Li was standing there as expected. Su Huai quickly stepped forward and took direct action.

"Hello, Mr. Li, I would like to rent your pot to make sour plum soup every day. I will prepare the ingredients myself, and you can provide the gas and help keep an eye on it. What do you think is a reasonable price per day?"

"What? Renting a pot?!"

Li Chengguo's eyes widened and he looked at Su Huai in confusion. He was confused.

"This...are you kidding me?"

"Of course not. I am the deputy secretary general of the Management College Student Union. I am entrusted by the department head to provide the freshmen of the Management College with a secret recipe for homemade sour plum soup to solve the problem of cooling down and relieving the heat."

Su Huai showed his name to others. It wasn't very impressive, but at least it was credible.

As a result, Li Chengguo subconsciously waved his hands: "The school student union can't control us... Hey? Wait a minute, it's paid, right?"

"Yes, I'll give you 500 yuan a day, but you have to ensure the supply."

"so many?"

Li Chengguo was really confused. He looked at Su Huai again and again, thinking: He doesn't look like a fool...

Su Huai didn't waste any words. He changed his expression, narrowed his eyes, and stared at the other person's eyes.

In a few seconds, sweat started to break out on Li Chengguo's forehead.

"Okay, okay, okay! 500, right? Why wouldn't I be happy about making a profit for free? But you have to promise not to affect my normal business!"

"You're only busy for a short while in the morning, but I can still feel the impact..."

Su Huai stabbed with a knife with a smile, and with a "pu" sound, blood gushed out from Brother Li's chest.

"Guess why I came to talk to you first? Well, it's so simple, you are the only one who has time now!"

Su Huai deliberately turned around and looked at the windows of the other two bun shops.

"Look how busy their boss is!"

My God, how mean is this person?

The three sentences were more vicious than the last, giving people the feeling that they were not doing business properly. "Can you please respect me for a moment!"

With a bang, Li Chengguo finally slammed the table.

It’s not heavy, but it feels so good!
But Su Huai was not scared. Instead, he slowly narrowed his eyes.

After staring at each other for 5 seconds...

The familiar feeling is finally back!
Brother Li tried to straighten his chest to show that he was not afraid: "Then, then...then we need to draw up a simple agreement!"

Su Huai nodded: "Okay. I'll write it and you copy it, one copy for each of you, and you can put your fingerprints on it."

"justice!"

Li Chengguo rubbed his hands carefully: "Brother Su, I have to remind you in advance that you have connections in school, and I am not bad either. If anyone breaches the contract and takes the case to the school, it must be reasonable!"

Of course Su Huai understood.

This kind of agreement is not used in court, but is used to file a complaint with the school, and the processing efficiency is much higher than a contract.

He took the pen and began to write the terms.

The general idea is that Su Huai rented the shop of Li Jiming Congee to cook sour plum soup, paying him 500 yuan a day. Li Chengguo needed to ensure the normal use of gas, stoves, and all other equipment, temporarily store raw materials, and help out.

In case of breach of contract, triple compensation for losses shall be paid.

Looking at the freshly-made agreement, Li Chengguo narrowed his eyes and smiled, his facial features huddled together in joy.

He glanced at Su Huai from time to time, as if he was looking at a fool.

Of course Su Huai wouldn't care.

Some businesses seem simple, and they are actually very simple.

As long as you have a truly clever core idea, you can pick up money with your eyes closed.

A cup of sour plum soup costs 1 yuan, and it is 6ml. It is no problem to sell it for 500 yuan. The difficulty lies in how to sell enough to cover the cost of renting a store.

Li Chengguo thought it was impossible, but Su Huai knew very well that the gimmick of making sour plum soup with pure Chinese herbal medicine on the spot could easily create popularity. This thing was quite new in 16 and had all the characteristics to become a trend.

Except there is no support from TikTok for efficient dissemination.

However, Su Huai does not need to spread it too widely and spread it to the entire Internet.

One Capital Normal University, 7000 freshmen + 10000 senior students from the main campus, is enough for him to eat.

We can just hire all the 50 people in our class and there is no need to supply them at cost price.

When doing things, you must do them in a solid manner.

Li Chengguo carefully put away the agreement and asked cheerfully, "Okay, Brother Su, what do you need me to do?"

Su Huai transferred 3000 yuan to him and ordered people around as a matter of course: "Go get a second-hand automatic cup sealing machine right away, and buy the most efficient one. Then prepare about 1000 servings of ice cubes, medium-sized cups, and ten 30-liter buckets. Hurry up, we need it tomorrow morning at the earliest."

"Just hold it up!"

Li Chengguo was very happy and was ready to go out in a hurry.

The brain is average, but the execution is really good.

Moreover, he is not a bad person and never has any crooked intentions in doing business. Except that his buns are not tasty, he is a very good bun shop owner.

Otherwise, Su Huai wouldn't be so confident.

Su Huai immediately called Wang Zhongheng to ask for leave, on the grounds that he wanted to finalize a summer cooling plan for his classmates. He then turned around and walked out of the school gate and returned to Jishengtang Pharmacy.

It's time to bring down the price of raw materials...

Although it is already very cheap, doing business is a matter of penny wise. As long as the quality is guaranteed, saving a penny is a good thing.

Cost control is a lesson. Su Huai doesn't care about that little bit of money, but he can't be a bad student.

The second time he visited the owner, Su Huai met him smoothly, and then he asked, "How many tons of high-quality dried black plums and hawthorns can you provide?"

"!!!"

The gentle, half-doctor, half-scholar middle-aged shop owner had a row of exclamation marks on his forehead.
