2023 has passed, a year of things must have a result, two years ago, I had a very good friend, she said that she wanted to open a teahouse. I listened to her talk about the business method, so I decided to invest 20,000 yuan. She promised me that she would give me dividends at the end of the year, but recently I asked her for money, and I was really speechless when she said it.
This friend of mine came back from Shenzhen, and she told me that she was the director of a tea house in Shenzhen. She has been a supervisor for more than 10 years and says she is very experienced.
When she returned to Sichuan two years ago, and when we were having dinner together, she said she wanted to open a teahouse.
Because she saw that there are many middle-aged and elderly people, they usually go to the teahouse in the afternoon or on weekends to drink tea, play mahjong, and let themselves relax.
Moreover, the investment in the tea house is not expensive, which is equivalent to only investing some decoration money, and after an investment, it is a profit.
She also told me a lot of details about opening a teahouse, and I listened to her say that she was very interested.
She saw that I was interested, so she said, if you have spare money in your hand, or you can invest some of my big head and you small head.
At the end of each year, I will show you the bill and give you a dividend of 10% of the profit.
When I heard my friend say this, of course, my heart blossomed. Anyway, I have 20,000 yuan of spare money in my hand, and I don't save it yet, so I might as well try it with my friends.
If the profit of the teahouse is 500,000 yuan, then I will have a dividend of 50,000 yuan, and I don't have to worry about it, which is quite tempting.
I said I would vote, so I transferred 20,000 yuan to a friend. In this way, with the hard work of friends, the teahouse opened smoothly.
But how can things be as good as imagined, and I don't know if it is affected by the market, the business of the teahouse last year was bleak.
Except for weekends and holidays, there are two or three tables of people drinking tea and playing in line, and there are few people on weekdays.
At the end of last year, I asked my friend if she had made any money, and she told me that she didn't, and that she was losing money.
Since she is all at a loss, I was embarrassed to ask her about the dividend, and she didn't mention it to me.
But since the beginning of this year, I have found that the business of the teahouse has begun to get better and better, that is, there are usually a lot of customers, not to mention holidays, if you want to come to the teahouse on holidays, you must call to reserve a seat in advance.
Isn't it a year that has passed? My 20,000 yuan has been invested for two years, and I didn't ask her last year, but I think I should ask this year.
So I politely asked my friend about the dividend, but I couldn't think of it.
I asked: I think this year's business is much better than last year, usually there are so many people.
Friend: Yes, compared to last year, it's really much better.
Me: Look, last year you said that you were losing money, I believe you, because the whole market is not good, I know, you see I invested 20,000 yuan the year before last, is there more or less some this year?
Friend: You didn't care, don't you know? I didn't tell you last year, this year's business is better than last year, but the profit is just enough to fill last year's hole.
Me: But you haven't heard you talk about it when we're chatting.
Friend: I don't want you to worry, wait, if I make it next year, I'll divide it up with you, I have something to deal with first.
My friend gave me a few perfunctory words, and the conversation ended.
Before I invested, experienced people told me not to do a partnership with a friend, otherwise I would end up with no friends.
But I really don't want to believe that she is lying to me, because after all, we are very good sisters, right?
I want to get my 20,000 yuan back, but I'm afraid that money will affect our relationship.
But I seem to feel that her words don't count anymore, what should I do now? I hope you can give some advice? Thank you!
