c67: The Man in the Dream

"..."

Lin Shen carefully read through the update log for [GoGo Maps 2.0].

In short, it had expanded from a map-based app for checking in at fun places in version 1.0 to an industry-focused app that provided business information in version 2.0.

That was a pretty big change!

Lin Shen tried entering the keywords "Modu" and "pet" again to see if the industry analysis had changed from GoGo Maps version 1.0.

Instantly, a deluge of information flooded his phone, leaving him dumbfounded.

Not only did it provide industry names and rates of return like before, but it even expanded to include development paths and required investment amounts!

Lin Shen tried tapping the first entry.

[Name: Warm Claw Nest Cat Cafe]

[Location: Xuhui]

[Area: 62㎡]

[Required Investment: Rent 150,000, Renovation and Equipment: 250,000, Initial Inventory: 200,000, Staff Salaries: 150,000, Marketing and Miscellaneous: 200,000, Total: 950,000]

[Net Profit: 40,000/month]

[ROI: 50%]

[Future Development: Add veterinary partnerships (profit-sharing model), pet insurance agency services, replicate community stores to build a chain, and develop a private label brand.]

[Summary: Transition from Cat Cafe to pet store. Stable cash flow and easily scalable.]

So impressive!

After carefully reading the plan provided by the industry analysis, Lin Shen was in awe of its capabilities.

Based on his three years of experience in the pet industry, this could actually work!

Besides, it was zero-risk!

The money would all come from the internal startup fund within [GoGo Maps]. Even if he lost it all, he could just wander around and accumulate more.

Lin Shen was starting to get excited. He was rubbing his hands together, eager to give it a try.

Once the biggest investment risk—losing money—was completely removed, all he had to do was charge forward!

Lin Shen took a screenshot and saved it. Just then, two figures suddenly blocked the sunset.

"Excuse me."

?

Lin Shen looked up toward the voice and saw the high school couple who had walked into his shot earlier.

The boy looked a bit reserved, clearly nervous.

"I saw you with the camera. Are you a photographer?"

"I am."

Seeing Lin Shen nod, the boy gathered his courage and asked.

"How much is it for a photo? Could we ask you to take a picture of us?"

"Of course."

Lin Shen remembered the next upgrade mission for his [Camera and Album] app and smiled.

"It’s free. How do you want to pose?"

"Anything is fine."

The boy led the girl to the edge of the lake, put his arm around her shoulder, and flashed a peace sign in front of his chest, his smile incredibly bright.

The girl, on the other hand, looked a little shy, but her sideways glance remained fixed on the boy’s profile, her eyes shimmering.

Seeing this, Lin Shen decisively captured the incredibly beautiful scene.

’Isn’t the innocent love of high school the best interpretation of "youth"?’

"What do you think?"

"It’s beautiful! You’re such a pro!"

The boy leaned over to look at Lin Shen’s camera and couldn’t help but praise him.

The girl beside him nodded eagerly, obviously loving the photo.

Seeing their joyful expressions, a sense of accomplishment welled up inside Lin Shen.

"Add me on WeChat. I’ll export it and send it to you when I get home."

"Okay, thank you so much!"

The boy and girl both shook Lin Shen’s hand and bowed in thanks. Their politeness made him smile.

"You’re welcome."

Watching their backs as they walked off into the sunset, Lin Shen suddenly felt a wave of emotion, remembering the Moonlight of his high school crush.
