"We've been talking for so long, and we haven't even introduced ourselves yet. My name is Hou Wenjie, and this is Lin Le. And you, boss?" Hou Wenjie said with a smile.

"My name is Ma Tianhai."

The boss introduced himself by name, then slightly turned his head to the side:

"This is my wife, Zhang Yunxiang."

“Well then, Mr. Ma, let me tell you about my first step,” Hou Wenjie said.

Ma Tianhai nodded: "Please go ahead."

While eating beef noodles, Hou Wenjie remembered that there was no Lanzhou-style ramen in this world where the beef was sliced ​​as thinly as cicada wings, as there is on Earth.

There's a reason why this noodle shop charges 25 yuan for its beef noodles.

Thinking about all this, Hou Wenjie said, "First of all, we must have a unique feature! We need to use this feature to make a name for ourselves in this area."

I think beef noodles are good, but 25 yuan for beef noodles is too expensive!

Nine yuan is a good price; there will definitely be a lot of people eating there!

Ma Tianhai's expression darkened: "Brother, are you sure you're not just messing with me? Nine yuan! Not to mention labor costs and rent, beef is expensive!"

Hou Wenjie laughed and said, "Boss, don't rush, give me a piece of beef, and I'll show you what a 9-yuan bowl of beef noodles looks like."

Seeing Hou Wenjie's confident expression, Ma Tianhai took a deep breath and said, "Okay!"

As he spoke, Ma Tianhai led Hou Wenjie to the kitchen. He took a piece of beef from the refrigerator's crisper drawer and placed it on the cutting board.

Hou Wenjie didn't say much and picked up the kitchen knife.

With his movements, thin slices of beef, as thin as paper, were soon presented in front of the group.

"Next!" Hou Wenjie said while cutting the meat.

Upon hearing this, the proprietress Zhang Yunxiang did not hesitate and put a bowl of ramen into the boiling water.

Soon the ramen was cooked, she put the ramen into a bowl and ladled in a spoonful of soup.

Hou Wenjie placed five thin slices of beef into a bowl and sprinkled them with chopped green onions.

Then he looked at the owner, Ma Tianhai: "If a bowl of ramen like this costs 9 yuan, does the owner make a profit?"

Ma Tianhai nodded: "Of course we can make a profit, but aren't these beef slices a bit too thin?"

Hou Wenjie laughed and said, "For some people, they are satisfied as long as they can taste beef often. Nine yuan for beef is just right for their spending level."

Ma Tianhai thought about it and realized that was indeed the case. He hadn't expected the first step of the promotion plan to be so simple.

But even with such a simple method, he had never thought of it after making noodles for so long.

However, he didn't dwell on it too much, nor did he have any intention of abandoning those who had helped him.

After all, the other party is an employee of a major platform. If I back out halfway, it could ruin my reputation and lead to a bad outcome.

Soon, the two printed out an agreement nearby, signed their names, and pressed their fingerprints on it.

The agreement stipulates that if the daily profit exceeds 100% of the original profit, Hou Wenjie's side can receive 20% of the excess as remuneration.

Lin Le, who was standing to the side, witnessed the whole thing and felt both happy and worried as he saw Hou Wenjie's actions.

To everyone's delight, Hou Wenjie had come up with a way to make money so quickly.

What worries her is that Hou Wenjie is not an employee of Shanyin, and there are false parts in the agreement. She is afraid that her boss will find out the truth.

Viewers watching Hou Wenjie's live stream were stunned.

"Is this even possible? Impersonating the official Flashy Voice promotion? This is a scam!"

"Forget about whether it's a scam or not, I'd even be willing to eat a bowl of beef noodles for 9 yuan. I think this plan is reliable!"

"Damn, the Hou Wenjie in the live stream looks different from the Hou Wenjie in the video!"

This person looks really charismatic; they have the aura of a successful person!

"No way, Hou Wenjie can be cleared of all charges? He's incredibly lazy, just an online beggar. Don't be fooled, everyone?"

"The person upstairs is so hostile. Hou Wenjie didn't cheat you out of a single penny, so why are you so jealous of others' success? Even if he's just lying down, he didn't spend a single penny of your money, did he?"

"That's just how I am. If you're not happy, hit me! I've always said that people like this are just wasting air, lowering the average national income, and wasting social resources!"

…

Lin Le only glanced at the comments and then stopped watching.

She has never liked watching live stream comments. Because the comments are always filled with all sorts of flame wars, watching too much of it really affects her mood.

After the agreement was signed, under Hou Wenjie's guidance, Mr. Ma hung a sign outside the store.

The sign had the words "Daily Special Price" written in colored pen.

Below "Daily Specials" is the so-called special offer menu.

Beef noodles, 9 yuan (original price 25 yuan).

Egg ramen, 7 yuan (original price 11 yuan).

Hou Wenjie believes that simply offering a special price on beef noodles is not enough to be effective.

They also got the owner to lower the price of the egg ramen to attract more customers.

As soon as the owner's sign was put up, many passersby saw the contents of the sign, paused for a moment, and then decisively walked into the store.

"Boss, a bowl of beef noodles, please!"

"Boss, a bowl of egg ramen, please!"

"Boss, why isn't my beef ramen ready yet?"

In a short time, the once quiet noodle shop became packed with customers.

The couple was extremely busy.

Xiaoling and Xiaoyu work at a nearby factory, but the factory doesn't provide meals. They usually eat lunch at a fast food restaurant not far from the factory, which costs between 12 and 15 yuan per meal.

The food was just average, but for working people, as long as it wasn't too bad and they could fill their stomachs, that was enough.

However, on my way to the fast food restaurant today, when I passed by that inconspicuous noodle shop again, I found that the noodle shop, which is usually quite deserted, was doing unexpectedly good business today.

Moreover, there was a sign standing in front of the noodle shop.

“Daily special… beef noodles for 9 yuan? Xiaoyu, how about we have noodles for lunch today?” Xiaoling shook her companion’s hand.

Xiaoyu also saw the words on the sign and smiled, "Okay!"

The two of them went into the store and each ordered a bowl of beef noodles.

The noodles were served shortly afterward.

"Wow! This is the first time I've ever seen beef sliced ​​so thinly!" Xiaoling exclaimed with a smile, picking up a paper-thin slice of beef with her chopsticks.

Xiaoyu slurped down two noodles, then pouted and said, "What else? If the owner really cut a few thick slices of beef into the bowl and sold it to you for 9 yuan, would you still dare to eat it?"

Xiaoling tilted her head and glanced at Xiaoyu, then nodded: "Indeed, who knows where things that are too cheap come from? I would never dare to buy those kinds of cooked food online."

As she spoke, Xiaoling put a thin slice of beef into her mouth, chewed it, and then took a sip of the soup. "I must say, this soup tastes pretty good!"

The main live stream room for "30 Days of City Survival".

After watching scenes of Cheng Lei being laid off from his odd jobs, Tu Qun making a wild fishing rod, and Meng Jia fainting while working as a mascot, the live stream finally switched to Hou Wenjie's, who was being heavily criticized by Hong Liang and Zhao Bo.
