Chapter 341 National Explosion
On the afternoon of December 29th, [Yuzu Tea] announced a number of measures to boycott scalpers.
That night, Shen Minglang posted a message on WeChat Moments with a picture of a cup of milk tea, and wrote: "From now on, I will be a part of [Yuzu Tea]."
Considering his personality, this is considered a relatively low-key statement.
It’s good enough that he didn’t post the words “Milk Tea Overlord”.
What’s funny is that one of his good friends even commented below.
"Brother Lang? Are you going to work at the milk tea shop?"
Shen Minglang was so angry that he yelled, "Get lost! I'm joining the gang!"
In fact, he knew in his heart that every time he did something in his career, many people around him were waiting to laugh at him.
There's no way around it. He's had so much fun on his entrepreneurial journey.
But this time it's different.
"Just wait and see, my cousin told me that there will be a big pussy to pretend tomorrow!" He cursed in his heart.
At night, Shen's house.
Young stepmother Wang Yusan was sitting in the living room watching TV series again.
Mr. Shen is away from home all year round and often goes on business trips. It is normal for him to stay out all night. Wang Yusan has long been accustomed to this.
Such a big villa, if Ningning and Shen Minglang are not at home, there will only be her and the live-in aunt at home, which would be quite lonely.
She is the kind of person who doesn't pay much attention when watching TV. She will play with her mobile phone while watching the show.
Soon, she saw the WeChat update sent by Shen Minglang.
Although Shen Minglang disliked his stepmother who was only a few years older than him and even spoke harshly to her sometimes, Wang Yusan never held a grudge against him.
At this moment, Wang Yushan thought about it, and finally got up from the sofa in the living room, went upstairs, and knocked on Shen Qingning’s door.
"Ningning, it's me," she said.
The young stepmother was also very puzzled. It was not the weekend, and Ningning should not live at home, but should live in the apartment with Xiaolu. However, she had not gone out in the past few days, and she did not even go to class today because she took a sick leave.
After a while, the door opened.
Wang Yushan looked at Shen Qingning and immediately asked with concern: "Ningning, are you feeling unwell?"
She felt that the other person looked a little haggard, his complexion was not good, and he seemed a little listless.
"No, I just didn't sleep well." Shen Qingning was obviously avoiding the topic.
But it is also true that I didn’t sleep well.
"You don't have a cold or fever, do you?" Wang Yusan wanted to raise her hand to touch her forehead.
“No.” Shen Qingning said.
"Ningning, did something happen to you?" She was still a little worried.
"Really not." Shen Qingning replied in seconds.
Wang Yusan sighed in her heart.
A stepmother is a stepmother after all, and she spends more time interacting with her "daughter" as a friend.
Ningning is a very opinionated person. There are some things she doesn't want to talk about, and it's really useless to ask more questions.
"Auntie, is there something wrong?" Shen Qingning asked.
"No, I just saw you locked yourself in your room all day, so I wanted to chat with you. Oh, by the way, I just saw your brother posted that [Pomelo Tea] on WeChat Moments, did you see it?" She looked at Ning Ning and added, "It's the [Pomelo Tea] opened by your friend, Xiao Cheng."
When she heard Cheng Zhu, Shen Qingning couldn't help but pursed her lips.
The sour feeling in my heart spread at this moment.
In the past few days, Cheng Zhu really didn't come to see her at all.
In the past, we at least kept in touch on WeChat every day, but ever since that meal, when he said those words after drinking and I didn't make any response, we really had no contact at all.
The only indirect connection was that after her brother signed the contract with him, he came back and said to her: "My cousin even asked me if he had shown you the contract. Damn, does this guy think you are more reliable than me?"
It seemed like he was scolding Cheng Zhu, but in fact he was praising his own sister.
But what Shen Minglang didn't expect was that Shen Qingning immediately raised her head and asked, "Did he ask specifically?"
"Yeah, what's the matter?"
"nothing."
At this moment, she looked at her young stepmother, nodded slightly, and said calmly: "I know about this matter, and I have also helped to look at the contract."
"He took a lot of shares?"
"Not much."
"Is that so? Then it seems like it's just a small thing and Shen Minglang just joined in for fun?" Wang Yushan said.
"I don't think so. The shares may not seem like much, but it also depends on how big the plate will be in the future." Shen Qingning replied.
"Ningning, are you so optimistic about this [Pomelo Tea]?" Wang Yusan was a little surprised.
Shen Qingning shook her head.
"I just have high hopes for him," she said in her heart.
December 30th, 1:00 p.m.
This article about the interview with scalpers began to be posted online.
In addition to this media, some marketing accounts have also come out and are leading the trend on Weibo.
Cheng Zhu must have spent money here.
But he didn't spend money to buy trending searches.
On the one hand, it’s because Weibo is so popular right now, and buying a top spot on the trending search list is damn expensive.
On the other hand, he felt it was unnecessary.
What methods do we have?
Of course, it’s about spending little to accomplish big things!
With the current momentum, it is completely enough. We just need to wait for it to slowly ferment on the Internet.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Cheng Zhu received a WeChat message from Shen Minglang, saying that he was hosting a dinner for his friends today to celebrate his joining of [Yuzu Tea].
After thinking about it, he declined.
On the one hand, it is because he has to keep an eye on the direction of public opinion on the Internet and be able to respond flexibly.
On the other hand, he had no interest in the group of friends around Shen Minglang.
These people are very contradictory.
They really want to break away from the halo of their parents' generation and make a career on their own.
But deep down, they look down on people like Cheng Zhu who run a successful milk tea shop. After all, compared with their family assets, that's nothing.
He has high expectations but low skills, and is conceited.
It is true that many second-generations actually have strong comprehensive abilities, but these people are working hard. How could they be as idle as them, spending their days in debauchery?
I guess it was them who instigated Shen Minglang to treat us to dinner today.
Seeing that Cheng Zhu was still keeping an eye on the direction of public opinion on the Internet, Shen Minglang naturally didn't want to invite him over for dinner and drinks.
He was beginning to feel guilty.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
"My cousin is still working hard, but I have to go out for dinner and drinks today."
"Well, today we are just going to celebrate, and tomorrow I will cut off all contact with them!"
"What the hell, all you do is eat and drink all day long, a pig in a pen?"
At six o'clock in the evening, Shen Minglang, who had finished his internal struggle, came to the restaurant he had booked in high spirits.
After he ordered the dishes, the waiter asked him if he wanted to order some drinks, and Mr. Shen immediately became excited.
"Oh, I came too hastily today. I should have prepared ten cups of pomelo tea for myself!"
Install it lightly first.
At the dinner table, Liu Hongjing and Wang Wei, who had attended Shen Minglang’s birthday party, were also present.
In addition, there is also the regular configuration for their dinner parties: a few internet celebrities.
Wang Wei had been unhappy with Cheng Zhu before, but after learning that the boss of [Insist on Visiting] was a good friend of Shen Minglang, he repeatedly asked Shen Minglang to organize a group. He really wanted to ask the other party for advice.
But according to the agreement with Cheng Zhu, Shen Minglang never told him that the person he wanted to "learn from" was Cheng Zhu.
He teased Wang Wei several times in his heart because of this matter.
"At the birthday party, your cousin asked you to drink a few more glasses of wine, and you felt unhappy, right?"
"It's so funny! If I really set up this game, when you see him, the rim of your toast glass will have to be three inches lower than his!"
"You have to hold the toast glass with both fucking hands!"
Wang Wei's family spends a lot of money every year to send him to take e-commerce courses. Look at my cousin, he is number one in the category and is the leader!
At this moment, Liu Hongjing and Wang Wei looked at each other, and Liu Hongjing asked, "Brother Lang, why didn't Cheng Zhu come?"
"He's busy. There's a lot going on in the milk tea shop. What do you think?" He said directly.
"What's the big deal about a milk tea shop? There's a store manager in charge, and the employees just make milk tea." Liu Hongjing retorted: "He's the boss, he should learn to delegate power and let his subordinates do the work. How can he do everything himself?"
"Do you really think my cousin just opened a milk tea shop on the street? Do you think it's the same as those milk tea shops at the school gate? We have our own brand, okay? We are very busy every day, and you know nothing!" Shen Minglang scolded with a smile.
He looked around at everyone and began his second wave of pretense tonight.
Master Shen coughed lightly and said, "As for me, after today's meal, I will have to start getting busy. I guess we won't have much time to get together in the future, so eat and drink well tonight!"
"No way, Brother Lang, you just opened a store, how can you be so busy?" Wang Wei couldn't help but say.
"Yes, Xiao Cheng is too busy to come for dinner, and he has to assign you work, so you are also too busy to have dinner with us?" Liu Hongjing immediately said.
Shen Minglang glanced at them and said, "You know nothing. I will be flying all over the country soon. I have many places to visit and I will do everything myself. My cousin will stay in Hangzhou, coordinate the overall situation and operate the brand."
Just kidding, my cousin told me today that our [Pomelo Tea] will be on the hot search list on Weibo.
There are 50 positions in total on the Weibo hot search list. Cheng Zhu said that he only invested a little money, but he believes in Cheng Zhu's ability and it will definitely not be difficult to get into the top 50!
"Are you going to open branches in other cities?" When everyone heard that Shen Minglang was about to fly across the country, they immediately became curious.
"He said there's no rush, and that he wanted to build up his national reputation first." Shen Minglang spread out his hands. What he said was indeed the truth. It was not a secret and he could tell it.
"That's impossible. You only have one store in Hangzhou now. How can you become nationally famous?" Wang Wei was the first to raise the question.
"If he says it can be done, then it can be done." Shen Minglang felt that the most clownish person was Wang Wei.
He found it funny every time he saw Wang Wei jumping on Cheng Zhu's face.
Damn it, if there is a chance in the future, I will let you know sooner or later who the e-commerce expert you are so eager to consult is!
"That's not the case, Brother Lang. Are you so impressed with Xiao Cheng?" Wang Wei began to praise one and criticize the other: "If you say that you relied on your family's resources to promote [Yuzu Tea] and make it quickly known nationwide, then I believe it. But you say that Xiao Cheng can increase national popularity by doing a few things on his own, isn't that a bit too exaggerated?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Minglang's cell phone rang.
He received a WeChat message from Cheng Zhu, which contained only two simple words: "Yes."
This is to inform him that [Pomelo Tea] has entered the Weibo hot search list.
Shen Minglang was already used to Cheng Zhu's pretentiousness and started to follow his example.
He just said slowly: "My cousin sent me a WeChat message, telling me that [Pomelo Tea] was trending on Weibo."
He opened his Weibo account, then placed his phone on the round table and said, "I won't even come to see what the trending search is, okay? Wang Wei, since you don't believe me, then you come and see! Say it out loud what the ranking is!"
Shen Minglang began to rotate the round table and slowly turned his mobile phone, which was covering the table, towards Wang Wei.
(ps: First update, we are currently ranked first in the monthly ticket list, please continue to ask for double the monthly tickets!)
