On-Site Lesson

To be honest, Albert didn't remember much about his Uncle Charlie; he could count the number of times the man had visited his house on two hands.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Charlie drove up to Anderson's house in a very ordinary-looking car.

Several days earlier, Charlie had learned from Daisy that Albert liked books, so he bought him several of the latest bestsellers as a gift, while Nia received a music box that looked quite nice.

Actually, Charlie felt it was absurd when he received a call from his sister Daisy asking him to come talk to his nephew about this.

However, he still came.

no way.

If he doesn't come, he won't be able to get the £20,000 in start-up capital from Daisy.

Charlie had heard years ago that his nephew was a genius, but the boy in front of him was just an ordinary kid holding a very fat cat.

Even if he really is a genius, he's still just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child. How could he possibly know how to run a shop?

That's ridiculous.

As Charlie sat down, his eyes met Albert's. At that moment, he suddenly felt uneasy, as if the other man could see right through him.

Charlie quickly looked away, not daring to meet Albert's gaze again.

Like a child who has made a mistake.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

"Do you think Pearl Milk Tea suits Britain tastes?" Albert lowered his gaze, stroking Tom's fur. "Is it good?"

"Yes, of course it's delicious. Pearl Milk Tea should suit our taste quite well, at least I think it tastes good."

"What do you think?" Albert suddenly realized why the other person's shop had gone out of business.

Pearl Milk Tea is indeed very popular in many countries, including the Britain, but I feel like something's off.

Nia, who had been quietly listening to their conversation, suddenly realized that Daisy was absolutely right. Her Uncle Charlie really knew nothing about Pearl Milk Tea.

All he knew was that Pearl Milk Tea was delicious and could sell like hotcakes and make a lot of money.

In the ensuing series of conversations, Albert did almost all of the talking, while Charlie listened quietly like a student, even giving them the illusion that their ages should have been switched.

Albert didn't really know much about Pearl Milk Tea, but he had drunk a lot of Pearl Milk Tea and understood the operation of Pearl Milk Tea. He also knew about the possible problems that might be faced, the possibilities of trying different types of pearls, different types of milk tea, and different types of fruit tea, and how to estimate its so-called final form, as well as the franchise chain model.

The theories, which spanned decades, left Charlie speechless. Anyone who wasn't an idiot could discern some sophisticated business techniques in them.

Charlie sadly discovered that he was not even as good as a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child.

Not to mention Charlie, even Daisy and Herb were a little confused. Nia, on the other hand, sat quietly to the side playing with Tom and secretly observing the changes in Charlie's facial expressions.

"So you'll look down on Albert."

Nia knew, of course, that many adults wouldn't take children's words seriously, and Uncle Charlie was no exception. But he quickly fell silent in front of Albert, like a child listening to a lecture, which made Nia want to laugh.

Her Albert is as amazing as ever.

By the time Albert finished speaking, it was nearly noon. After an hour and a half of relentless information bombardment and confidence-shaking, Charlie's mind was in complete disarray. He politely declined Daisy's invitation to stay for lunch, and finally left in a daze, clutching the notes Daisy had given him from Albert.

"Do you think your Uncle Charlie will succeed?" Daisy asked after seeing Charlie off.

"I don't know, but I feel that Uncle Charlie doesn't have much of a business sense."

This was Albert's final assessment of Charlie.

If Charlie were a business genius, his eyes would have lit up with excitement after Albert proposed his theories and plans, and he would have been discussing them with Albert. Instead, he would have just sat there blankly listening to him talk, and eventually became a nodding monster who could only nod.

"I don't expect him to become some kind of business genius," Daisy said. "As long as the shop doesn't lose money and can continue to be profitable, that's enough. If Charlie can really make Pearl Milk Tea a success, we can just find someone to manage the company's affairs."

Even if he loses money, it won't be by much; it mainly depends on how much effort he puts into it.

"He needs to spend a lot of time and energy to improve it. If I'm at this level, the shop will go out of business sooner or later." Albert scooped up a pearl and put it in his mouth, chewing slowly.

Albert didn't really care what would happen to Uncle Charlie in the end. He had already told him a lot of advanced things and even given him his notes.

If used properly, it should be able to quickly establish its brand, become the first Pearl Milk Tea shop in the Britain, and gain widespread recognition in a short period of time.

In some ways, Pearl Milk Tea is more popular than cola.

For example, lunch might consist of French fries, fried fish, and a cup of Pearl Milk Tea.

Just as the group was eating and chatting, the phone rang. Herb said that Charlie had been in a car accident on the road, apparently a rear-end collision, which left the whole family a bit bewildered.

In the end, it was Herb went over and helped resolve the matter.

A week later, Herb mysteriously announced that he would take everyone to London for dinner.

Albert and Nia originally thought they were going to a restaurant, but they were instead taken to the entrance of a Pearl Milk Tea shop.

Charlie's speed in opening the shop was a bit beyond his expectations; the Pearl Milk Tea shop opened in just a few days.

"It's not bad, a lot of people like Pearl Milk Tea."

How should I put it?

Britain food is indeed strange, especially since Albert even saw something as odd as Vegetable Milk Tea on the menu.

By the way, this store also sells hot dogs.

It doesn't look like Pearl Milk Tea shop; it looks more like a fast food restaurant selling hot dogs.

"This is all we're going to eat?"

Albert looked at the hot dog and Pearl Milk Tea in front of him with resentment, and his face fell.

The milk tea tasted really mediocre, only slightly better Albert makes himself.

"I think he still needs to put more effort into his milk tea. This level of quality is easy to imitate. If he can't establish a brand advantage before the novelty wears off, this shop will just stay the same."

After all, people are drawn to whatever is profitable, and making Pearl Milk Tea isn't difficult. Albert believes that soon a bunch of Pearl Milk Tea shops will spring up like mushrooms after rain.

Once the exclusive monopoly is lost, sales will quickly decline.

The result is self-evident.
