Chapter 308: Who Left in Shame?
With low costs in front, she is the least afraid of price wars.
What's more, with the Zhong Family Teahouse, the reputation of the pearl drink has long been known to everyone.
For the same price, it is obvious whether ordinary people would rather buy a brand they have never heard of or a brand they have heard of and has a good reputation.
If the other party really thinks that they can beat her by poaching her people and opening a similar store across the street to engage in a price war, they are simply dreaming.
After all, even if she lowered the price by half, she would still make a profit, while at the same price, the other party would lose money.
She asked Liu Mao to inquire and found out that the shop opposite had not been bought yet, but was only temporarily rented for a month.
Do you think you can finish drinking pearl drinks in a month or do you not have enough money?
After a brief thought, Sang Yu simply asked someone to tell Chen Kang that he should ask Sang Yongnian if the Sang family had any large expenditures of several hundred taels recently.
If you have connections but don't make use of them, and instead make random guesses, you are not independent and self-reliant, but a fool.
After reaching a cooperative relationship with Sang Yongnian, they had become allies in some aspects. Since they were allies, answering her trivial questions was naturally a piece of cake.
Sang Yongnian, who was in charge of managing the Sang family's finances, easily found several large expenditures. In addition to the usual expenses from Sang Yongfeng, his sister-in-law had an additional expenditure of 500 taels this month.
Only then did Sang Yu realize that it was not Sang Yongfeng who attacked her, but her cousin Sang Anzhu who disliked her.
No wonder he only rented it for a month. I think it was because he didn't have enough money, and he looked down on her, thinking that she would not be able to hold on after a month of price war.
After having a clear mind, Sang Yu even had the leisure to order a cup of pearl milk tea produced in his own shop, and toasted it to the sign of Feicui Drink across the street.
"Then let's see who leaves in disgrace after a month."
There were a lot of personnel changes in the store. Fortunately, Sang Yu had spoken about it in advance, and Liu Mao also started to contact and train the new employees in private.
The five people who were responsible for taking orders and serving food all ran away, and would rather leave immediately than receive their wages for that month.
But there was one person left in the kitchen, which was a bit beyond Sang Yu's expectations.
"Da Zhuang? Why... didn't you leave?"
Most of the employees in the store had left, so she simply asked Liu Mao to close the store and suspend business for the day, and ran to the backyard to sit down and talk to the person who stayed behind.
She originally thought that it would be Xiaotao, who looked well-behaved and obedient, who would stay, but she didn't expect it would be Dazhuang, who was always taciturn.
Da Zhuang smiled and scratched his head: "My mother said, thank you for not despising me, a stupid person, and taking me in as a worker. I am willing to work with you for the rest of my life."
He was a simple and honest person who could not say anything nice. When he was in the previous sweet drink shop, he was implicitly excluded by the small group of shop assistants.
Later, when the boss felt that there were too many people in the store and wanted to fire two people, he was naturally elected.
After arriving at Pearl Drink, he thought he would still be excluded and expelled, but he did not expect that both the shopkeeper and the owner treated them equally, and they even taught him new skills and literacy from time to time.
Although he has never been educated, he knows that people should be grateful and repay kindness.
The boss and the shopkeeper have done him a favor. The other party is obviously trying to poach them to target the boss. He cannot give up this place just for a temporary high salary. He must share the hardships with the boss.
After hearing his words, Sang Yu was silent for a while, and finally patted him on the shoulder: "Da Zhuang, work hard, I promise that the money you will earn in the future will be much more than what they offer you."
She had never expected that the little things she did casually would be remembered so clearly and that someone would foolishly want to repay her in such a stupid way.
No matter whether he is just lucky or stubborn, since he is willing to stay at this critical moment, Sang Yu will appreciate his kindness and will not treat him unfairly in the future.
Sang Yu initially thought that Sang Anzhu would keep her composure and wait until Pearl Drink seemed to be on the verge of going bankrupt, and then suddenly jump out and show off to her that Jade Drink was her shop.
However, the shop assistant had just been poached and his shop had been closed for less than half a day when Sang Anzhu brought a large group of people to show off the next morning.
Sang Anzhu glanced inside the Pearl Drink's door, clicked his tongue twice in disgust, and then spoke with a smile.
"Oh, a lowly bastard is a lowly bastard, and you're not worthy of being on the stage. I just used a little trick, and you've deserted everyone. If you kneel down and beg me now, I might even spare you because we share the same surname."
Sang Yu stood in the store with his arms folded across his chest, watching her performance leisurely, and only spoke calmly after she finished.
"Are you done? If you are, please leave immediately and don't block our business."
If she really believed Sang Anzhu's words and knelt down to beg for mercy, she would not be spared, but would only be persecuted more severely.
After all, their original purpose was to destroy her pearl drink. Before this goal was achieved, everything else was just talk. Anyone who really believed it was a fool.
"You little bitch, you're still as sharp-tongued as ever. Humph, when your store goes out of business, I'll see if you can still keep your stubbornness."
Sang Anzhu came in a rage and left in a rage, leaving behind only a few harsh words.
She turned around and lowered the price of all drinks in the Jade Drinks store by five cents, determined to kill the Pearl Drinks in the shortest possible time.
Sang Yu didn't take her seriously at all. Liu Mao was temporarily taking over the kitchen, and the people who took orders in the front had received temporary training and were ready to take up their posts.
It was clear that Sang Anzhu had just spent a high price to poach the shop assistants yesterday, but the next day everything was back to normal and the shop continued to operate. She was so angry that she tore two handkerchiefs into pieces.
Since the price of Jade Drinks has been reduced, Pearl Drinks naturally cannot do nothing. Sang Yu took advantage of the opportunity to promote takeout and restart the buy-two-get-one-free promotion.
When people learned that they only needed to pay an extra three cents in delivery fee to order takeout, and could get three cups of milk tea for the same price, takeout became very popular for a while.
After the renovation, Zhongjia Teahouse has far fewer customers in the afternoon than in the morning.
The tables that were moved into the warehouse were put back in their original positions. At most, they were shared, so that the previous scene of people being crowded together would not occur again.
While the comfort level was greatly improved, the audience watched the storyteller on the stage sipping milk tea from time to time, and also ordered milk tea.
Since there was a precedent of not charging delivery fees for food delivered to Qinghuan Street, it would seem a bit stingy to charge extra money at this time.
So Sang Yu simply carried two large food boxes to deliver them himself, and earned some tips by the way.
