King of Kings, start with a perfect record and strive for the top spot.

Chapter 322 Opening Day - First Order

A week later, Xueyao Milk Tea Shop officially opened for business, with its first trial location chosen in the Shanghai Commercial Building.

This is the largest department store in Shanghai, a bustling hub in the city, integrating shopping, dining, entertainment, and leisure, offering everything you could want and satisfying diverse needs for life and spirit in one stop.

The key is that the items inside are of good quality and inexpensive, which attracts a large number of working people in Shanghai. On weekends and holidays, the place is packed with people.

With such a huge flow of people, the rent for shops in a shopping mall is naturally quite high.

However, Li Changqing is a bit naive and rich, and he told Ye Lan to just go for it and not to worry about the money, as he would take care of it.

Since the boss had given the order, Ye Lan got to work with great enthusiasm.

First, they used their own and Lin Xueyao's short video accounts to release messages, which served as a preliminary promotion and a warm-up for subsequent activities.

The two have a combined following of nearly 1500 million on their short video accounts, which is a fairly large group.

Ye Lan didn't expect all these people to come and spend money. As long as a few came, it would be enough to boost the store's popularity.

For a new store opening, popularity is crucial.

Because most people have a herd mentality, in layman's terms, when people see a bustling store with a large number of customers, they will subconsciously think that the store must have something special, and thus want to queue up to try it.

However, Ye Lan did not place all his hopes on online fans. He also spent money to hire ten extras to liven up the atmosphere on set.

Whenever someone passes by the store, these extras will let out a few exaggerated exclamations at just the right moment to attract the attention of passersby.

For example, when a male actor walks by, these extras will sip their milk tea and make a tsk-tsk sound.

"I heard that this milk tea can nourish the kidneys, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"Whatever, it's only 20 yuan a cup, what if it works?"

"Yes, yes, if this thing really works, we'll make a fortune."

After a few words, the handsome guy who had been standing at the store entrance went inside and pointed to the three extras, saying to the cashier, "We want a cup of the milk tea they're holding."

The cashier was a college student who had worked at a bubble tea shop during the summer. She was pretty and charming, with a cheerful personality. After a week of training, she became very articulate.

"The drinks they're holding are our shop's signature drink, called 'Vitality Dew.' It not only has the effect of nourishing the kidneys and replenishing essence, but it can also increase men's stamina, making them more focused and persistent in whatever they do."

The handsome guy who came in blushed after hearing this, but still asked curiously.

"Does doing anything make it last longer?"

The cashier smiled professionally and said, "Really."

"Furthermore, for our new store opening, everyone can enjoy a 50% discount on their first cup of the day. The Vitality Dew, which was originally priced at 50 yuan per cup, is now only 25 yuan."

"Of course, if you are a King of Glory player, you can also get corresponding discounts based on your rank, which is even more cost-effective."

The cashier pointed to the activity board next to her, which clearly marked the discounts for each level.

"But isn't 50 yuan a cup too expensive?" the customer said, frowning.

When he first heard the price, he was stunned and wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.

After all, this price could buy three cups of milk tea next door.

"You get what you pay for; the effects speak for themselves." The cashier squinted and gave her a knowing smile.

The customer thought it made sense; if it really had these effects, then 50 yuan a cup was indeed not expensive.

But I'm afraid it won't work...

The cashier noticed the customer's concerns and quickly said, "You can buy one to try first. New customers get a 50% discount, it's only 25 yuan. I guarantee you won't lose out or be cheated."

"If it really has no effect, then you can just stop coming in the future, right?"

The customer thought it made sense, and since there was nothing he could do in Shanghai at 25, he simply ordered a drink.

The brother who came in with him showed off his game rank: Grandmaster, enjoying a 20% discount.

He could buy a 50-yuan drink for only 20 yuan, which brought an uncontrollable smile to his face. He felt like he had gotten a great deal.

Scan the code to pay, and the order will be processed.

Before long, two beautifully packaged medicinal dishes were served, and the waiter didn't forget to introduce them:

"All our drinks are made from Chinese herbs, using genuine ingredients, with real and effective effects, and without any side effects. You can drink them with peace of mind."

Upon hearing this, the group frowned as they looked at the murky, greenish liquid in their glasses.

"Traditional Chinese medicine, isn't that very bitter?" A man's mouth was already watering, and he kept swallowing.

"So what if it's tough? For a better life in the future, brothers, let's do it!"

"Yes, for a happy life in the future."

"What I just said was a verb."

"..."

But after everyone took a sip, the bitterness they had imagined did not appear. It was smooth and creamy, with a hint of sweetness amidst the sourness, much like the taste of a green tangerine, leaving a lingering aftertaste.

The group stared in disbelief at the object in their hands and asked a nearby waiter, "Is this really made with Chinese herbal medicine?"

"Of course it's true. The menu has an ingredient list, and they're all Chinese herbs that are beneficial to the human body," the waiter replied with a smile.

Even with an ingredient list, without precise proportions, it's still impossible to make it.

In addition, Li Changqing had applied for intellectual property rights, so Ye Lan was not worried about others stealing and copying it.

"Then why is there no bitter taste at all?" the customer asked, puzzled.

"That's what makes our shop so special. We completely remove the bitterness of the Chinese herbs using a specific method, so it tastes just like regular milk tea," the waiter explained with a smile.

Ye Lan had already given them pointers on these things during the training, and they were able to answer them fluently.

"Excellent, excellent. Just the taste alone is worth the price."

"Our drinks not only taste great, but they also have amazing effects. You'll see tomorrow."

The waiter smiled faintly, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense.

The customer left with a smile, saying, "Then I'll wait and see."

Not far away, Ye Lan watched the customer's smiling face as he stepped out of the store, secretly relieved.

The first order after opening has finally been placed!

All we need to do is follow the same method step by step, and we will definitely get back on track eventually.

However, all the problems were also exposed at the same time. Li Changqing's team had absolutely no experience. Although they seemed to have the right major, they only had theoretical knowledge on paper and were completely flustered when it came to actual operation.

If things continue like this, and the site becomes incredibly popular, it might collapse because it can't handle such a large influx of customers.

"The road ahead is long and arduous," Ye Lan sighed, a cigarette dangling from her lips.
