119 Chapter 119 The Opponent Who Appeared Out Of The Blue!
Luo Feng was generous, of course Xiao Fei would want to hug Luo Feng’s thigh tightly.
“I’m sorry, Xiaoya, it’s working hours now, everything is based on the boss’s standards!” Xiao Fei said with a firm face, “Not even if you are Xiaoya!”
Ai Tingya was wronged: “Are you ignoring our sisterhood of more than ten years?”
“I’ve always distinguished between public and private matters.” Xiao Fei became Luo Feng’s most staunch supporter as she continued to speak.
She thought that Luo Feng would feel her sincerity since she had such a clear-cut attitude. Xiao Fei looked at Luo Feng expectantly, hoping that he would give her an affirmation.
Luo Feng looked at Xiao Fei, then at Ai Tingya, and finally walked to Ai Tingya’s side with certainty, and softly persuaded: “Don’t be angry, I will definitely discuss it with you next time, don’t ignore me.”
Ai Tingya pretended to be angry and said: “Hmph, Xiao Fei is with you, just leave me alone if you don’t get along with me.”
Luo Feng coaxed: “How can I be willing to let you be alone.”
“Everyone is only listening to you, boss.”
“But the boss listens to the boss’s wife.”
The two were mushing together, and the other employees didn’t want to watch it sourly, so they pretended that they still had things to do.
Xiao Fei knew that she was fighting a losing battle seeing that and walked up to Ai Tingya with a flattering smile: “Xiaoya, I was just joking, we will always be good friends, right?”
“Hmph, I want to punish you and ignore you for 10 minutes.” Ai Tingya turned around mercilessly.
Xiao Fei felt that 10 minutes was too long so she looked at Luo Feng sadly.
I was busy trying to gain momentum for my boss, but my boss turned his back on me first!
Xiao Fei felt sad for several days because of this, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Ai Tingya was the best.
She knew that Ai Tingya would not be really angry. But the more Xiao Fei thought about Luo Feng’s stinky appearance of abandoning her without mercy, the more she wanted to give Ai Tingya a gift.
Three days after the incident of buying real estate, Xiao Fei saw that there were not many customers, so she took an hour off from the store to buy a small gift for Ai Tingya. Xiaofei walked to the street corner, where there was an exquisite stationery store thinking of Ai Tingya mentioning that the desk lamp was broken in the past two days.
Xiao Fei hummed a tune and walked over. She was stunned on the spot.
There was actually a “Good Me Milk Tea Shop” beside the stationery shop? Xiao Fei rubbed her eyes and realized that the milk tea shop was called the “Goud Me Milk Tea Shop”?
Not only was the name very similar, the renovation Style in the shop was also very similar. For a moment, Xiao Fei thought that Luo Feng had opened another branch behind their backs.
There were flower baskets for opening at the entrance of the shop, and colorful streamers were all over the ground. The newly opened shop had a discount sign and attracted a lot of customers.
Xiao Fei knew that the renovation of her shop was done by Luo Feng. It was impossible for it to be a popular style unless it was deliberately imitated.
She knew that this shop was their opponent!
Xiao Fei ran back to her milk tea shop. She pushed open the door and said in a panic, “Oh no, someone cloned our shop!”
“What?” Luo Feng turned around and saw that Xiao Fei was sweating profusely and very anxious.
Ai Tingya handed her a glass of water and said, “Calm down. Don’t be anxious.”
Xiao Fei pointed in the direction of the street entrance and said, “Not far ahead, there’s a shop that’s very similar to our renovation style. It’s called Goud Me! It’s obvious that they’re snatching business from us.”
Ai Tingya said in surprise, “How can that be?”
The milk tea shop’s business had just been on the right track. How could there be a competitor so quickly?
Luo Feng was not surprised. He knew that such a day would come when he sent Yan Kaize away that day.
“Let’s go take a look.” Luo Feng and Ai Tingya walked to the street entrance.
The opening of the new shop was very eye-catching. Luo Feng had expected it, but he could not help but be surprised when he saw it. It could not be said that it was exactly the same. It was simply too similar. The word Xiao Fei used, “clone”, was very accurate.
Especially the soulful signboard. There were many foreigners around who did not understand Chinese characters. They really could not tell the difference at a glance.
Ai Tingya remembered this place.
Xiao Fei and she liked to go to the stationery shop beside it. Previously, when this milk tea shop was being renovated, it had surrounded the outside tightly and occupied most of the sidewalk. Xiao Fei had even complained.
At that time, Ai Tingya did not pay much attention to it. It was actually stealing the fruit of their results!
The blockage previously was clearly done on purpose!
No matter how good-tempered Tingya was, she could not help but grit her teeth in the face of such a situation. She did not have a good impression of the owner of this shop at all. His methods were too despicable!
“I should have applied for a patent.” Luo Feng scratched his head.
Perhaps applying for a patent could not guarantee the uniqueness of his shop. There were many ways to imitate it, but this shop chose the most straightforward one.
Luo Feng realized that not only was the name and renovation style similar to his own, even the milk tea menu was also similar. This was something that could not be protected no matter how much he applied for a patent.
“Let’s go back!” Ai Tingya pulled Luo Feng angrily. She really did not want to see this shop again.
Luo Feng’s heart did not waver at all but he was also affected when he saw that Ai Tingya was unhappy. He felt that the milk tea shop that made Ai Tingya unhappy was too much.
He led Ai Tingya back.
“Actually, we expected this situation,” Luo Feng said.
Ai Tingya was a smart person. Like Luo Feng, she had a premonition that the competition would begin soon on the day she rejected Yan Kaize. They had also guessed who the owner of the new milk tea shop would be and would not be too far off.
The only thing they did not expect was that the other party was doing it so brazenly and so close.
They must have targeted the students of the nearby universities. The spending power of young people was really great. Moreover, Good Me had also opened the era of the new milk tea.
Ai Tingya said angrily, “Their prices are lower than ours.”
There would be a discount a few days before the opening, but the menu was at an official price. Students without much money were very sensitive to the price. If it continued, it would be disadvantageous to Luo Feng.
Actually, Good Me’s price was already very low while maintaining the real materials compared to other milk tea shops. They had their own raw materials processing factory, which was a huge competitive advantage.
The other party’s price was even lower!
Luo Feng did a mental calculation. If the other party used the same good materials, they would be operating at a loss at the current price. It would be very difficult for them to make a profit. However, they could increase the price when Good Me was squeezed out.
If the materials were worse than Good Me but the taste was similar, it would be a huge threat if they could snatch Good Me’s guests while making a profit!
It was really sinister!
“What should we do? Should we lower the price too?” Ai Tingya tightened her grip on Luo Feng’s hand.
Luo Feng shook his head and said, “A short reduction in the price won’t solve the problem. The other party wants to compete with us in terms of price. Either their raw materials are not as good as ours, or the other party has strong funds behind them. We have to take a long-term approach.”
“What approach?” Ai Tingya asked worriedly.
They had just bought a house. They might not be able to compete with their funds.
Luo Feng said seriously, “Buy a building!”
