Chapter 564: Five hundred and sixty-two, not effective
"It’s your goal," Luo Shu said as she picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Zhang Xiaoling. She had never thought about making ’Love to Eat Cake’ hers. If she wanted such a business, she could start one at any time.
"It’s ours! Luo Shu, whether you want it or not, from now on half of ’Love to Eat Cake’ will be yours," Zhang Xiaoling insisted. Even if Luo Shu didn’t want it, she would still give her the half that belonged to Luo Shu. It was her principle in life; she wasn’t the ungrateful type to kick Luo Shu to the curb after achieving success, not after all the help she had received from her.
Luo Shu took a sip of her tea, which was infused with Spiritual Energy and beneficial for the baby, "There’s still a lot that needs to be done. The trademark has to be registered with the Business Association, and packaging for the cakes must be uniformly made to create a brand effect. As for future developments, it’s too early to discuss that. To spread ’Love to Eat Cake’ across the entire market of Yan Country with our current scale is impossible."
"I will definitely take it step by step and won’t rush things," Zhang Xiaoling said, nodding.
"There’s another thing, if a business wants to develop well, it must not become a family enterprise," Luo Shu reminded her.
"Why is that?" asked Zhang Xiaoling, somewhat puzzled. In her view, family was the most trustworthy, and she had been considering having her relatives help out in the factory once things stabilized here.
With a teacup in hand, Luo Shu slowly rotated the white jade cup before speaking slowly, "Many businesses start off well, but as more and more family members join, internal conflicts begin to emerge. Everyone tries to gain as much as they can from the business, and eventually, it gets hollowed out from the inside. It’s like an apple; once the core is rotten, one day that rot will seep through to the skin, turning it into a truly rotten apple."
"I understand! Thank you! You really know a lot," Zhang Xiaoling said gratefully and admiringly. She would definitely not let her business turn out that way.
