A temporary food street simulation event held in Xingfu Community brought them surprises, but also presented them with a choice.
Zhan Siyu often said to Nan Xiangwan, "Crisis and opportunity coexist."
When a crisis occurs, it proves that an opportunity has emerged.
If they can seize this opportunity, everything will be much easier for them. But if they miss it, they will have wasted a chance.
Therefore, Nan Xiangwan must carefully consider how to handle this matter and try to achieve a balance between the two sides.
Since Zhan Siyu has presented an analysis of the pros and cons, Ouyang Qian would also like to express her own opinion.
"Brother-in-law, in my personal opinion, the emotions of the people in Happiness Community are more important!"
"Everyone has been very tired lately. In the past six months of preparation, everyone has been very anxious, not knowing whether this project will be successful!"
"Especially in the last ten days or so, I can clearly feel that the people in Xingfu Community are very nervous. They don't know if the project will succeed, and they don't know what the future holds. Everyone is confused!"
"If we can bring them a surprise this time, and give them their first pot of gold, I believe everyone will rekindle their hope..."
In Ouyang Qian's opinion, the thoughts of the people from Rose Star were not actually that important.
The most important thing is to instill hope in your own people. Only when they are strong internally can they cope with external crises.
This argument makes a lot of sense, and Nan Haochen naturally supports his wife, so he nodded in agreement.
Although they had only returned from the Academy of Sciences three days ago, the oppressive atmosphere in the Happiness Community was palpable.
Although everyone was trying their best to keep their emotions in check, it was clear that they were all confused about the future.
Especially when the food street is about to open, it's like feeling nervous about returning home; the closer the time gets, the more anxious you become.
Some people were so nervous that they couldn't handle the chef's duties, so they gave up their food street stall rights, worried that it would ruin Nanxiangwan's plans.
Nan Haochen said, "Sis, I think Qianqian is right!"
"You should understand this well in Xingfu Community. Everyone hopes the food street project will be successful, but nobody is sure!"
"Especially in these ten days leading up to the opening, everyone is very nervous..."
"Grandpa Ye's arrival tonight was a complete surprise. He brought us a lot of customers. If we can make some money, it might give everyone some confidence!"
"As for how the people of Rose Star view us, does it matter? They're not exactly friendly to us right now, so why should we care about their opinions?"
Nan Haochen's meaning became even clearer: the people from Rose Star had never given them a friendly look.
Aside from the Ye family and Ander, even the people at the research institute treated the people of Water Blue Star with a xenophobic and indifferent attitude.
Therefore, they have absolutely no need to compromise their own people to accommodate the opinions of others; it is more important to build confidence in their own people first.
In any case, Nan Haochen was completely on Ouyang Qian's side, but he was not the one who could make the decision, so he could only hand over the authority to make the decision to Nan Xiangwan.
Zhan Siyu let out a breath; he fully understood Ouyang Qian and Nan Haochen's thoughts.
However, they overlooked one crucial point: the issues of integrity and rules.
"The people who came to Xingfu Community with Grandpa Ye today are all rich and powerful. They are all here to see Grandpa Ye and discuss business with him. Do you think these people are short of money?"
"If we give them the impression that we're greedy for small gains, it will ruin any future ideas our residents in Xingfu Community have about doing business!"
"Have you considered this?" Zhan Siyu asked.
In fact, Zhan Siyu and Nan Xiangwan were not denying their contributions, nor did they think that they should not have established this message.
On the contrary, it is because Zhan Siyu thinks far ahead that he hopes they will not be so short-sighted and abandon future plans for immediate gains.
Zhan Siyu's residential project at the research institute and the Nanxiangwan food street project are both for the sake of future generations and the future.
It would be utterly wrong to squander the future business potential of the people of Water Blue Star for the sake of such a small amount of immediate gain and such a hollow sense of self-confidence.
“That makes a lot of sense…” Ouyang Qian frowned, but did not continue to refute it.
Nan Haochen couldn't find any reason to refute it at all; instead, he felt a little guilty.
Zhan Siyu always thinks about such long-term issues, while he only thinks about immediate benefits, which is really a bit wrong.
"Alright then, I admit I was short-sighted. I didn't expect my sister and brother-in-law to think so far ahead!"
Nan Haochen and Ouyang Qian did not continue to be stubborn, but instead chose to find a balance between the two methods.
However, finding this balance is difficult; at least they don't have that capability yet.
Zhan Siyu asked, "Have you decided what to do?"
The two people around him shook their heads; they couldn't find a better way to balance things out at the moment.
Nan Xiangwan then asked, "Ah Zhan, how about this? We can make a rule that the first ten customers get a free meal, and the rest will have to pay!"
"After all, we said at the beginning that tonight's food festival is free, but only a very small portion of the ingredients are free!"
"The ingredients added later were new, so naturally we should charge for that!"
"Of course, the fee can be as simple as a token, about three to five yuan per serving. What do you think?"
This method is indeed a compromise, and it should be acceptable to most people.
Nan Haochen thought it was fine, and Ouyang Qian also accepted the price setting.
Their main goal is to give the residents of Xingfu Community confidence through tonight's food festival simulation, so that they can better lay the foundation for the opening of the food street project. Therefore, a symbolic fee is sufficient.
This not only does justice to the efforts of everyone in the Happy Community, but also tells the people of Rose Star that good food is not free; you have to put in the effort to get something in return.
Thanks to Grandpa Ye's promotion, many people on Rose Star are already planning to spend money to enjoy the food. So why don't they accept this reward?
