Yukinoshita's Correction Method

"You just said that your thoughts changed after I contacted you." Haruno Yukinoshita stared at Dong Yunshan with a smile. "So I'm that important to you?"

"I am important to you," Dong Yunshan stated bluntly. "As the heir to the family, you have everything, but before you inherited the family, you had nothing."

"That's quite a subtle point," Haruno Yukinoshita, picking up her coffee cup. "Is that really true?"

"What you have now belongs to the family, and what you will have in the future will also belong to the family." Dong Yunshan pushed the dessert forward. "Only when you become one with the family will what belongs to the family truly be yours."

Haruno Yukinoshita lowered her eyelids slightly. "Then nothing I do will make a difference."

"To be precise, you can't take any of the tangible things with you right now," Dong Yunshan paused, "But you can use the intangible things as you please."

Haruno Yukinoshita raised her eyes. "For example?"

What kind of business does your family run?

"Construction company."

Can the company take it?

"You can't take it away."

Dong Yunshan: "When looking for partners for a company, is the identity of an heir useful?"

"It works."

"The company is renovating a store; whose store is it?"

"The shop owner's."

"Is the price the same as the apartment renovation for the Yukinoshita Family?"

"No the same."

Dong Yunshan's lips curled slightly. "What if you were the shop owner?"

Haruno Yukinoshita's smile faded, "... Then it's the same."

How long does it take to renovate a convenience store?

Haruno Yukinoshita immediately provided specific data. "The renovation period for the new 7-Eleven store can be reduced to two weeks."

"As the eldest daughter of a member of parliament, how long will it take you to complete all the approvals and procedures?"

Within two weeks.

"Including site selection and contract signing, supply chain negotiations, equipment procurement, employee training, product testing, and trial operation," Dong Yunshan held up two fingers, "You can own a wildly popular tea shop in two months."

"Sounds good." Haruno Yukinoshita lightly tapped her coffee cup. "And you?"

"I'll take 30%, you take 70%." Dong Yunshan tapped his temples lightly with two fingers together. "Leave brand operation and product development to me; you'll be responsible for initial funding and various resources."

"You only have 30%," Haruno Yukinoshita shook her head. "That won't do."

"The more you do, the more you earn," Dong Yunshan said bluntly. "I'm still a high school student, and there are many things I need you to handle."

"Now you remember you're a student?" Haruno Yukinoshita's eyes darted around. "It's better if I'm third and you're seventh."

Dong Yunshan sensed something was wrong. "Hmm?"

"I'll take care of the resources and part of the initial funding," Haruno Yukinoshita whispered. "I can lend you the rest."

Assuming the initial capital of ten million was entirely provided by Haruno Yukinoshita, and the store failed, she would lose all ten million.

However, if Dong Yunshan borrows five million from Haruno Yukinoshita and invests it, and the startup fails, Haruno Yukinoshita can still get the five million back from Dong Yunshan.

If the store becomes popular, Haruno Yukinoshita can continue to increase her investment.

Dong Yunshan didn't have enough funds, it had to give up a portion of its shares to Haruno Yukinoshita.

Dong Yunshan Three, Haruno Yukinoshita Seven, Startup Failure -- Haruno Yukinoshita Loses Everything.

Dong Yunshan Seven, Haruno Yukinoshita Three, Startup Failure -- Haruno Yukinoshita Loses Half.

If the startup is successful, Haruno Yukinoshita will only experience a slight difference in short-term profits.

Haruno Yukinoshita blinked. "Actually, I also really enjoy helping others."

"Then how about 19?" Dong Yunshan picked up a dessert and took a big bite. "Borrowing whatever amount is fine, you just need to be responsible for the resources."

"I don't want to put too much pressure on you." Haruno Yukinoshita shook her head. "If you overwork yourself, Yukino will be angry."

"Two-eight?"

"Just three and a half."

It seems this is the limit... Dong Yunshan nodded. "Select a few store locations in shopping malls that can be quickly signed, and also provide supply chain information. I'll give you the specific requirements; you find samples and aim to open during the summer vacation in August."

"You're already ordering me around so quickly~" Haruno Yukinoshita sighed deeply. "That's so unfair. I feel like I'm going to be tortured by you for a long time. And if I don't do a good job, you'll blame me."

Dong Yunshan raised one eyebrow. "It's not too late to change it to 19 now."

"Hehehe~" Haruno Yukinoshita made a face, "I'm not changing~"

Dong Yunshan shook his head helplessly.

Although their outward appearances are different, Haruno Yukinoshita and Yukino Yukinoshita are exactly the same in their inner stubbornness.

Volume 6: Chapter 229 Hesitant to Speak

Saki Kawasaki closed her book, went to the table by the window, and skillfully mixed a drink.

The previous cheese strawberry recipe already had a standard formula, Saki Kawasaki is trying out a new type.

Combining the various teas and fruits brought back by Dong Yunshan to create different drinks and selecting the best flavor has become her recent daily routine.

After school, I would go to the Service Club to study. If I didn't understand something, I would ask Yukino Yukinoshita. When I got tired of studying, I would make a drink for a while. When I got tired of making drinks, I would continue studying. When it was time to leave school, I would go to pick up my younger sister.

Saki Kawasaki has adapted to her new school life.

but...

It seems some people aren't quite used to it.

Saki Kawasaki glanced slightly at Yui Yuigahama her phone.

Holding his phone, he leaned back in his chair, his face pressed flat against the table, propping his chin up as he turned the pages of a book...

Within minutes, Yui Yuigahama had changed several positions.

Her gaze would occasionally drift towards Yukino Yukinoshita.

Several times he seemed about to speak but then stopped.

Saki Kawasaki recalled for a moment.

I think I used to read Yukino Yukinoshita's light novels mostly.

It's A6 size, lightweight and portable, and the content is mainly classic literature and academic works.

Why are you suddenly reading fashion magazines?

And you're watching so intently.

With a click, the door to the activity room was pulled open.

Yukino Yukinoshita looked over almost instantly.

Saki Kawasaki: "..." She doesn't seem to be particularly focused either.

"Teacher..." Yukino Yukinoshita reminded him countless times, "Please knock first."

Completely ignoring Yukino Yukinoshita's complaints, Shizuka Hiratsuka scanned the activity room. "He's not here today either... I thought you'd figure things out on your own now—looks like I was too optimistic."

"Teacher," Yukino Yukinoshita asked directly, "What brings you here?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't mince words. "Has Shinonome been out of the activity room lately?"

Yui Yuigahama's eyes lit up, and she looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka with admiration.

Saki Kawasaki noticed this and knew that Yui Yuigahama had wanted to ask this question for a long time as well.

Yukino Yukinoshita remained calm. "He's busy outside."

Shizuka Hiratsuka crossed her arms and leaned against the wall. "A high school student, busy with something outside?"

"He's helping a friend prepare for opening a shop." Yukino Yukinoshita raised her chin. "He got all of this."

On the table against the wall, there is a bunch of beverage making equipment.

They even have sealing machines.

Saki Kawasaki held up the glass she had just mixed. "Teacher, please try some too."

Shizuka Hiratsuka perked up. "Did you add more alcohol?"

Saki Kawasaki was speechless for a moment. "... No."

This is a high school, after all. How could Saki Kawasaki be mixing drinks here?

"Never mind then." Shizuka Hiratsuka lost interest. "He's just a high school student. Even if he's helping someone run a shop, does he really need to be so busy all the time?"

--

"I'm a minor." Dong Yunshan sipped her coffee, glancing at Haruno Yukinoshita across from her. "Shouldn't these things be handled by you, an adult?"

"Even if I'm handling it, you need to be there." Haruno Yukinoshita playfully stuck out her tongue. "Otherwise, what if something goes wrong and you blame me?"

1 "As the eldest daughter of Chiba's largest construction company..." Dong Yunshan looked out the window, "Could there possibly be any problems with renovations?"

"Of course there is." Haruno Yukinoshita pointed to the shop under renovation outside the window. "I found so many shops for you, why did you choose this one across from Starbucks?"

"Location selection is one of the key factors determining the success or failure of a business. It requires comprehensive consideration of factors such as foot traffic, target customer group, competitive environment, rental costs, and transportation convenience." Dong Yunshan vaguely recalled the days when he was making PPTs, feeling a bit physically uncomfortable, but he spoke more and more smoothly. "In the process of site selection, we need to conduct data-driven assessments and analyses of foot traffic density and consumer activity, test and verify market reactions, and also pay attention to the future development of the area and plan ahead... Starbucks has considered all of these issues."

1. "This will save us a lot of trouble." Haruno Yukinoshita tilted her head. "But you just mentioned the competitive environment, right?"

6. "Isn't the competitive environment good?" Dong Yunshan shrugged. "If you open in another place, you'll have to compete with many stores. But if you open across from Starbucks, you only need to compete with Starbucks."

7. "I've already chosen this address according to your wishes, and the renovations are progressing steadily..." Haruno Yukinoshita's eyes narrowed slightly. "I trust you completely."

"Starbucks ' site selection logic overlaps significantly with ours, so wherever Starbucks opens, we'll open there too." Dong Yunshan paused, "As for competition... wouldn't you want to try a beverage shop that dares to open opposite Starbucks?"

"Compared to unknown small shops, Starbucks ' competitors definitely generate more buzz, so there's no need to worry about initial hype. Starbucks already has a stable customer base, and opening a store opposite Starbucks can divert customers from its overflowing queues." Haruno Yukinoshita rested her fingers on her fair chin. "Avoiding direct confrontation can ensure stable development for a while, but in the long run... it's not optimistic."

5. "That's the crux of the matter." Dong Yunshan raised his glass. "If opening a store across from Starbucks would guarantee success, why would you need to partner with me?"

5. Haruno Yukinoshita can open it herself.

"So I'm curious." Haruno Yukinoshita smiled, but her eyes held no smile, only an almost icy clarity, like crystal-clear ice. "How does a small shop like ours compete with Starbucks?"

"Small size is a competitive advantage." Dong Yunshan pointed towards the counter. "How long does it take for a chain store like Starbucks to launch a new product?"

Haruno Yukinoshita's eyes flickered slightly.

Dong Yunshan tapped her temples lightly with two fingers together. "How long would it take to plan an event?"

"A single hair can affect the whole body..." Haruno Yukinoshita murmured, "And we ourselves are but a single hair."

"We're too small. If we beat up Starbucks, it'll take Starbucks a month to react," Dong Yunshan chuckled. "That's enough time for us to beat them up again."

"Isn't this about avoiding competition, but actively provoking it?" Haruno Yukinoshita accurately grasped the crux of the problem. "But how do you know that your new product and the events you plan will really be effective?"

"This..." Dong Yunshan recalled what Shizuka Hiratsuka had once said, "You'll understand when you reach my age."

Volume 6: Chapter 230 Crisis of the Abolition of Departments

"Teacher," Yukino Yukinoshita closed the magazine and placed it on the table, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"As the advisor for the Service Club..." Shizuka Hiratsuka straightened her back and announced loudly, "I want to abolish the Service Club!"

"What?!" Yui Yuigahama. "This can't be allowed..."

Saki Kawasaki also frowned.

"The Service Club isn't a club for you to eat, drink, have fun, and build relationships. If you want to enjoy life, go somewhere else." Shizuka Hiratsuka's expression was serious, and her voice was stern. "It's not the Service Club's style to ignore important members who are absent for extended periods."

"After saying all that..." Yukino Yukinoshita pressed her temples as if she had a headache, "You just wanted to try out the old-fashioned club disbandment crisis, right?"

"Is it... is it that obvious?" Shizuka Hiratsuka murmured doubtfully, "I was being so serious..."

Yui Yuigahama breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, it was just a joke..."

"I'm not joking," Shizuka Hiratsuka reminded her in a more relaxed tone than before, "If we can't find the real reason why Shinonome has been away from the Service Club for so long and bring him back, I really will abolish the Service Club."

Yui Yuigahama: "Ah..."

"I'm giving you a week." Shizuka Hiratsuka held up one finger. "Once the time is up, I'll take this activity room back."

Crack.
