271: Why bother with it?

This is Shen City, you only earn two yuan per cup of milk tea, with a monthly cost of 130,000 yuan, how many cups of milk tea do you have to sell to earn that back?

Even if most Milk Tea Shops have good business, there are still some shops whose business is not very good.

It's not like every shop has a constant queue.

And even if there's a constant queue, a single shop can't make much money.

The key is that the profit per cup of milk tea is simply too low!

Xiang Yang, who didn't know much about the milk tea industry, smiled and said, "Viewers in front of the screen, I don't know what the cost of milk tea is."

"Do you think what's written here is correct? Are these milk tea ingredients really worth this much money?"

On the ledger, there were clear records of the ingredients needed and the prices of the fruits.

Furthermore, where the fruits were bought, how much was bought each day, and how much money was spent in total were all recorded clearly.

"I think the price of the fruits seems very reasonable, much cheaper than the fruits I buy at the fruit store!"

"Fruit stores at least make a 30% profit. Mi Bing Milk Tea buys at wholesale prices, so the price of the fruit is very reasonable."

"And the quantity of fruit purchased every day is quite large, so it seems Mibing uses genuine ingredients."

The audience kept staring at the bill. Many people were seeing a large company's procurement list for the first time and were very curious.

Upon closer inspection, they found that Mi Bing Milk Tea's fruit procurement prices were cheaper than theirs, and the quantity was enormous.

Based on the numbers on the bill, a rough estimate showed that the accounts were absolutely real.

Countless viewers left comments: "I didn't expect it, the accounts are actually real, Mi Bing Milk Tea really isn't making money!"

"I like Mi Bing Milk Tea. Compared to other Milk Tea Shops, a cup of milk tea costs twenty-something yuan, while most Mi Bing Milk Tea are single-digit prices. It's truly affordable!"

"Ah! I didn't expect that the ingredients used by Mi Bing Milk Tea are all genuine, just like those used by other Milk Tea Shops, and some so-called high-end milk teas can't even compare! I always thought Mi Bing Milk Tea sold cheaply, so the ingredients must be inferior. It seems I misunderstood them!"

"I often buy milk tea at Mibing. They display all the fruits and ingredients openly. What's there to doubt? Just go and take a close look, and you'll know. Absolutely genuine and good quality at a fair price!"

"I'm a Feihuang employee, and I can confirm that Mi Bing Milk Tea uses genuine ingredients."

"Bingmi Milk Tea is actually losing money! We absolutely cannot let such a good Milk Tea Shop go out of business. If Mi Bing Milk Tea closes down, are we going to drink twenty-something yuan milk tea again?!"

"..."

Many viewers directly called on others to consume at Mi Bing Milk Tea, to absolutely prevent Mi Bing Milk Tea from closing down.

The thought of Mi Bing Milk Tea closing down and them no longer being able to drink cheap milk tea, having to drink those twenty-something yuan flashy, cheap imitations, immediately made them anxious.

Previously, they didn't know that Mi Bing Milk Tea was losing money, so they didn't have such strong feelings or urgency.

But now seeing that Mi Bing Milk Tea has been losing money, many people are worried that Mi Bing Milk Tea will close down.

When Qian Ziyong saw these comments, he immediately felt a bad premonition.

Mi Bing Milk Tea wasn't losing much, but it was steadily and consistently losing money, which made it a good company in his eyes.

Please don't make a profit!

Xiang Yang is truly unethical. Let Mibing lose money peacefully, why disturb it?

Qian Ziyong was very angry!

Fortunately, Xiang Yang didn't keep focusing on the Mi Bing Milk Tea, but instead turned his attention to Feihuang Restaurant.

In the video, Xiang Yang opened the accounts of Feihuang Restaurant and said, "To be honest, I don't have a good impression of Feihuang Restaurant in Shen City!"

"They force people to buy tableware when dining there, which is really annoying."

"But looking at Feihuang Restaurant's accounts, at these prices, they must be losing at least tens of millions a month."

"Whether it's cooking oil, seasonings, or ingredients, they are all genuine."

The viewers in front of the screen, who had just been questioning whether Feihuang Restaurant was putting on a show, now many of them fell silent.

However, a few viewers still left comments in the comment section: "It must be fake, all these accounts are fake, Feihuang Restaurant's accounts are the fakest."

"Unless Xiang Yang can explain why Feihuang Restaurant uses very fresh ingredients, yet they don't offer dine-in service?"

"If they don't offer dine-in, they must have something to hide!"

"I always feel that such a big store, with so many branches, clearly capable of dine-in but not doing it, there must be something fishy. Otherwise, they wouldn't just leave money on the table!"

Some people questioned Feihuang Restaurant, while others strongly supported Feihuang Restaurant.

The comment section immediately erupted, with the trend intensifying.

Seeing these comments, Qian Ziyong felt a bad premonition.

You know, being infamous is also a form of fame!

This video is full of explosive content. If this video becomes popular, wouldn't that mean Feihuang Restaurant is going to become very popular?

Feihuang Restaurant is his most stable loss-making enterprise with the greatest loss potential right now, so absolutely no problems can arise!

Qian Ziyong was restless and very hesitant at the moment.

Should he secretly use his own money to suppress the video's popularity?

But he couldn't bear to.

Not only would he have to suppress the video's popularity, but he might also have to suppress Feihuang Restaurant's popularity, which could cost a lot of money!

He only had six hundred million. He spent fifty million buying a villa, so he only had five hundred fifty million left.

Although it was a lot, it was all his own money, and he never thought it was too much.

If he could use the company's money to suppress the popularity, he wouldn't hesitate, no matter how many hundreds of millions it cost.

But to use his own private money...

Ultimately, Qian Ziyong still couldn't bear to spend the money, and he also didn't know how to suppress popularity; he didn't have the connections in that area.

Just like that, days passed, and Qian Ziyong called Ye Xiaoqin almost every day to inquire about the situation of Feihuang Restaurant.

The situation was very bad.

Ye Xiaoqin joyfully told him that Feihuang Restaurant's business was getting better.

Although it hadn't reached the point of turning losses into profits yet, some people had already habitually ordered meals through their platform.

And user stickiness was very high!

Most customers, as long as they ordered a meal once on their Feihuang Restaurant app and spent two hundred to buy two sets of tableware, would basically order meals every day.

This made Qian Ziyong even more worried.

Although Feihuang Restaurant was still a long way from profitability, this trend was not good!

It made Qian Ziyong anxious.

Now, very few people on the internet were arguing that Feihuang Restaurant was putting on a show; many people were making videos to prove that Feihuang Restaurant was not putting on a show.

Once a large number of customers become accustomed to ordering meals, wouldn't Feihuang Restaurant start making money?

Feihuang Restaurant was currently developing in a bad direction, making Qian Ziyong jump up and down with anxiety, unable to eat or sleep well.

Just as Qian Ziyong was in a very bad mood, on the other side, the president of Shanjing Consortium, Yamai Murayu, also had a livid face and was in an extremely unpleasant mood.

"Feihuang Group actually became popular! Now the popularity of Feihuang Group online is very high!"

"We spent fifty million to suppress Feihuang Group's game, but it all went to waste because of a few broken videos."

"Not only has Feihuang Game's popularity risen, but the popularity of various subsidiaries of Feihuang Group is also very high!"
