Counterflow 92: Ditching the School Flower at the Start and Building a Trillion Empire

In his previous life, Lin Yifeng was tricked by his first love into going abroad, missing the period of rapid development in his homeland.

He finally managed to amass a fortune of hundreds of...

Chapter 74 Making Friends Everywhere

Some of Wallace's customers were redirected to Mixue Ice Cream.

Lin Yifeng set off a string of firecrackers at the entrance of Mixue Ice Cream, signifying the official opening of Mixue Ice Cream.

"Mixue Ice Cream is now open! Today we're launching a brand new series of drinks: milk foam drinks."

"Everyone can come to the store and try the strawberry coconut milk foam, cheese black tea milk foam, cheese milk foam Four Seasons Spring, etc."

Lin Yifeng smiled and recommended that the milk foam series was a new product he had recently come up with, and it was also the first new product launched by Mixue Ice Cream when it opened.

In terms of price, it's about the same as boiled milk tea, which is considered relatively expensive these days.

Lin Yifeng doesn't really care whether customers are willing to pay for the milk foam series; Mixue Ice Cream's drinks must be diversified.

Whether people buy it or not is their business, but whether Mixue Ice Cream has it or not is Mixue Ice Cream's business.

A drink that costs 3 yuan is considered a luxury item these days. Fortunately, today is April 23rd, the opening day of Macburg, and also "Crazy Thursday".

Mixue Ice Cream and Wallace are from the same lineage, so they naturally participate in the Crazy Thursday discount event. On this day, all items are discounted by up to 20% off, and some are even free.

A 20% discount on milk foam costs 2.4 yuan, which is still a bit expensive, but many people can accept it.

After all, a movie ticket costs two or three yuan these days, so they just used that money to buy the movie ticket.

"I'll have a strawberry coconut milk tea with topping!"

"A brand new series of drinks? These drinks look delicious. I'll have a Cheese Milk Foam Four Seasons Spring Drink."

"Three yuan a cup is so expensive! Boss, can you offer some cheaper drinks? Three yuan a cup is really too expensive."

A girl wearing patched clothes looked at Lin Yifeng with wide eyes and asked, "What do you mean, cheap drinks?" Lin Yifeng chuckled and replied, "Yes, we have some!"

"In addition to its milk foam series, Mixue Ice Cream also offers refreshing lemonade. A large cup of chilled lemonade costs only 50 cents."

"Besides lemonade, we also have ice cream. Ice cream is 30 cents a stick, not expensive, right?"

Wallace was a pilot store for Mixue Ice Cream, and it basically only sold ice cream and milk tea.

Lemonade and milk foam are both new products from Mixue Ice Cream.

"An ice cream is 30 cents a stick? 20% off is 24 cents?"

"50 cents a cup of lemonade? If you're participating in the promotion today, it's only 40 cents a cup!"

Ice cream for 24 cents, lemonade for 40 cents.

Compared to brewed milk tea and milk foam drinks, this price is incredibly cheap. In an instant, many people waved their money, wanting to buy lemonade and ice cream.

Regardless of the era, ordinary people always make up the majority.

The cheap lemonade and ice cream sold much better than the milk foam series; before noon, the ice cream in Mixue Ice Cream store was sold out.

"There are so many customers today! Wallace and Mixue Ice Cream have to split up their customer flow. They haven't stopped working much all morning!"

Inside the Mixue Ice Cream shop, Bai Yejin wiped the sweat from her forehead, her face beaming with smiles.

More than 20 days ago, Bai Yejin was wearing this outfit at Wallace's cashier, which attracted many male students from Hebei Vocational University.

More than twenty days later, Bai Yejin wore the same clothes and worked as a cashier at Mixue Ice Cream, which amazed many male students from Henan Normal University.

If I had to pinpoint the difference, it would probably be that Veronica Yip didn't come today.

"Today is Crazy Thursday."

"We've had over ten orders given away today alone!"

Lin Yifeng was also covered in sweat; Mixue Ice Cream's free order was completely different from Pinduoduo's.

Pinduoduo is a complete scam. Three thousand people can cut the price of a Causeway Bay, but they can't cut the price of a free order from Pinduoduo.

However, Mixue Ice Cream's free order is a real free order, with a probability of one percent. Although the probability is not high, there is indeed a chance to win it.

"In blue!"

"Yes, yes!"

"Go and bring some lemonade to the brothers at the funeral hall. It's the middle of the day, let them quench their thirst."

"Okay!"

Xu Qingyi readily agreed, and Lin Yifeng added, "Let's see how the foot traffic is at Macburg, how the situation is, and whether our beloved Leader Ma has calmed down yet."

"Hehehe, leave it to me!"

Xu Qingyi smiled happily. He quickly packed up more than a dozen servings of lemonade and carried them out of Mixue Ice Cream.

Just a dozen meters away from Wallace and Mixue Ice Cream, the suona horns in the mourning hall were playing deafeningly.

The store in Macburg was decorated with flowers and its doors were open, but there was hardly anyone to be seen, either inside or outside the store.

Xu Qingyi, carrying lemonade, arrived at the entrance of the mourning hall with a smile and said, "It's so hot today, everyone must be thirsty."

"Our shop's new drinks are very thirst-quenching, come and have a taste."

The people at the funeral hall were naturally familiar with Xu Qingyi; it was this young man who had asked them to set up the funeral hall and promised to give them 2,000 yuan as long as they didn't move it.

Money makes the world go round.

The family of the deceased naturally agreed to the request and set up a mourning hall in front of the Macburg shop.

As for how the employees at McCauley felt.

If you can tolerate it, then tolerate it; if you can't, then you still have to tolerate it.

You have to give them 2,500 yuan before they'll consider moving the mourning hall.

How could Ma Wenhong possibly pay that money? In fact, Ma Wenhong did not confront the funeral parlor at the dilapidated street store at all, but instead took his employees to cause trouble for Wallace.

Lin Yifeng, holding a weapon, scared Ma Wenhong away.

"Young man, you've worked hard too. We'll be eating soon, why don't you have something to eat here?"

The head of the funeral hall was very polite to Xu Qingyi, who was their benefactor. Xu Qingyi smiled and nodded, "Thank you for the invitation. In that case, I won't stand on ceremony."
