Chapter 35: The More Capable, the More Work

Lin Feng diligently served Old Xu, but in the end, Old Xu did not hand over the fruit tea recipe to Lin Feng.

According to Old Xu, greed leads to indigestion. It would be better to first develop the flower tea market, complete the variety and flavors of flower teas, and wait until the market is saturated and customers start to get tired of it before introducing fruit tea. This way, the profits from both flower tea and fruit tea can be maximized.

Lin Feng thought about it and found Old Xu's words very reasonable. Besides, today he not only obtained over a dozen other recipes but also got Old Xu to agree to help improve the recipes, ensuring they wouldn't be easily leaked. This was a significant gain.

After resolving this major concern, Lin Feng drank a little with his father and Old Xu. During the meal, Lin Feng told his father and Old Xu that he planned to buy a house in the city for the two elders. This would help them avoid the unpleasant smell here, which would be good for their health, and it would also be more convenient for shopping. If they found it too noisy, they could buy a house a bit further from the city center.

However, the two elders did not agree with Lin Feng's proposal. His father had lived here for over twenty years and was already accustomed to everything. Old Xu also liked the quiet and leisurely atmosphere here. Although shopping was indeed a bit inconvenient, having a car right outside the door wasn't bad at all.

But the two elders eventually couldn't resist Lin Feng's persuasion. When Lin Feng brought up the saying "When the child wants to support the parents, the parents are no longer there," the two had to yield.

However, on the issue of buying a house, Old Xu had his own opinion. Lin Feng wanted to use his own money to buy a well-secured, conveniently located house for the two elders, but Old Xu insisted on using his own money. He said that wealth comes and goes, and when he passed away, it would just be a pile of earth. Lin Feng was in the stage of rapid career development, and everything required money. As a master, he should help as much as he could.

Lin Feng's filial piety satisfied Old Xu.

Faced with Old Xu's insistence, Lin Feng had no choice but to agree. However, he was determined to take good care of the old man in this life, at least ensuring he could enjoy his later years.

When it came to buying a house, Lin Feng naturally thought of his mother. Since he didn't need to worry about his father's house, he could buy a larger, better-located house for his mother.

The next day, Lin Feng transferred 200,000 yuan to a new account for his mother. The current housing prices in Chusheng City were around 799 yuan per square meter, so 200,000 yuan was enough to buy a house with excellent location and at least 100 square meters, with enough money left for renovation.

However, what made Lin Feng frustrated was that before he earned money, his parents always said when they could enjoy the blessings of their children. Now that he had money and wanted to do something for them, they refused. His father and mother were the same, just like Old Xu, telling him to keep the money for his career development. They said they weren't short of money and that renting was fine, and they could change whenever they wanted.

Faced with this, Lin Feng could only sigh at the love of parents and forcefully hand the passbook to his mother, warning her to buy a comfortable, well-secured house.

After resolving the housing issue for his parents, Lin Feng felt a great relief. His first wish after rebirth was finally achieved. As long as there were no natural disasters or misfortunes, his parents could enjoy their later years. Yes, after summer, he would take his parents and Old Xu for a full-body check-up, which would give him even more peace of mind.

Of course, once he earned more money, he would buy a car for each of his parents, hire a driver, a nanny, and a chef. He would also buy a villa, preferably with a golf course, so the elderly could learn to play golf like the successful people on TV. But while they used golf clubs, he would use elongated spoons... Lin Feng silently fantasized.

Of course, his parents didn't forget to mention the relatives' wish for Lin Feng to take care of them. Lin Feng just smiled and told his parents to reassure them that he wouldn't forget them if he had the means. As for the previous attitudes of the relatives, Lin Feng had long forgotten. When the wall falls, everyone pushes, it's human nature. Besides, his future plans required more than just his own funds. If they wanted to get rich, they could help with his plans.

"Mr. Lin, how is the preparation for your flower tea factory going?" On Wednesday morning, Liu Yingying approached Lin Feng.

"Uh..." Lin Feng was embarrassed, having been busy with family matters and forgotten about this.

"Have you discussed with the merchants interested in flower tea?" Lin Feng changed the subject to avoid being criticized by Liu Yingying.

"Yes, we have reached a preliminary agreement. A total of 12 merchants are interested in our flower tea and willing to cooperate. Now it's just some details that need to be ironed out." Liu Yingying, as usual, took out the relevant printed documents and reports from her file and presented them to Lin Feng for review.

"However, I took the liberty of raising the price by 2 yuan for the flower tea supplied to these merchants." Liu Yingying explained before Lin Feng could comment, "First, to reassure the 'Murder Bar' owners that their profits from flower tea won't be affected; second, to tell everyone that our Lin's Catering and Entertainment Co., Ltd. has the best plan. If they hesitate to join, we won't wait for them. In the end, they will be the ones who suffer."

"Good, you did well." Lin Feng understood the benefits after a moment's thought. This way, when his company launched any franchise plans in the future, these merchants wouldn't hesitate as much.

"Also, I suggest we supply different types of flower tea to the 'Murder Bar' and flower tea shops based on their different natures. For example, we can supply mint tea to the 'Murder Bar' to help players maintain high concentration during the game. For flower tea shops, we can supply blackberry tea, Earl Grey, and other relaxing flower teas. This way, the two won't conflict in customer base and can prevent private resale due to price differences."

After Liu Yingying finished speaking, Lin Feng could only marvel at his good fortune in hiring such a talented graduate from Peking University. Her clear and logical analysis made everything crystal clear.

"Alright, I'll leave this to you. I'll resolve the factory issue as soon as possible and notify you when we can start production. Then you can formally sign contracts with these owners." Lin Feng decided to speed up the construction of the flower tea factory to avoid falling behind Liu Yingying's progress and being mocked again.

It was absolutely intolerable for a man to be constantly ridiculed by a woman.

"By the way, since this is almost done, follow up on the barbecue shop plan. If you need more staff, hire them. Oh, I've approved a special budget of 10,000 yuan for activities. Go to Accountant Zhang to collect it later." Lin Feng lightly tapped his forehead and said.

"What!" Liu Yingying was taken aback. The barbecue shop plan was proposed by Lin Feng at the Monday meeting and was supposed to be executed by him. But from the current situation, Lin Feng had no intention of executing it.

Liu Yingying rolled her eyes, knowing she had a lot of work ahead. However, she didn't back down. First, it was another challenge, and second, she wanted to see what foundation she could lay for this small company in two months through her own efforts.

"Ha ha, also, here are my ideas for the barbecue shop. Take a look. In short, I used to love barbecue because it was cheap, and beer plus barbecue is a great combination. So, my barbecue shop will focus on affordable prices, high volume, and attracting customers, which will also boost the profits of Chufeng Internet City and the 'Murder Bar'." Lin Feng pulled out a crumpled, grass-paper-like plan from his pocket, which almost drove Liu Yingying crazy.

"Hey, don't you have a secretary now? Can't you have her help you organize and file these?" Liu Yingying frowned, looking disgusted as she picked it up with two fingers and quickly threw it to Su Xiaomei, instructing her to tidy up the crumpled, grass-paper-like plan.

"Thanks, let's get back to work." Lin Feng, seeing the trouble off his hands, quickly left.

The more capable, the more work. Before Liu Yingying left, Lin Feng wanted to squeeze out her maximum remaining value.
