Bei Chen did a quick mental calculation, then, in coordination with Lu Jiuning, held up one finger: "At least one hundred!"
How many?
More than one hundred?
Yu Haiyang's eyes nearly popped out of his head in fright; they were now completely dazed, clearly stunned by Bei Chen's words.
However, it wasn't just Haiyang, Tian Xin, and Mai Zi who were stunned; even Lu Jiuning, who raised the question, almost went crazy.
She didn't know what Bei Chen was thinking, but through their previous conversations, she knew that he had a lot of inspiration.
I never imagined it would get this far.
That's terrifying!
What would happen if these more than 100 cocktails were put on the market in the future?
They must make a fortune from patent fees alone, right?
grass!
I can't even imagine it!
In fact, Bei Chen has already controlled the number.
Otherwise, there are traditional cocktails, cocktail variations, and unconventional cocktails (specifically referring to new cocktails that bartenders can create on the spot after reaching a certain level of skill).
These add up to far more than a hundred; they number in the tens of thousands!
Seeing their reactions, Bei Chen realized that more than a hundred was still a bit of an exaggeration!
By the time he arrived, Yu Haiyang was already tempted.
With over a hundred cocktails, he saw how far Hive Bar could go in the future.
It wouldn't be surprising if it became a cocktail business empire.
If I become a shareholder of such an empire in the future, will my father and two older brothers still look down on me?
A thousand thoughts were tangled in the ocean's heart, forming a knot that could not be untied, and the more it was untied, the more chaotic it became.
Since that's the case, let's take a gamble. I have nothing better to do anyway, and who knows, there might be some surprises in the future...
In the end, Yu Haiyang convinced himself: "I can join, but I have one condition!"
Lu Jiuning sat up straight; this was the final step: "Speak!"
Yu Haiyang turned his gaze to Bei Chen and said, word by word, "My condition is very simple: I want to be the first to taste every new wine that appears!"
That's it?
Lu Jiuning is of course fine, as for Bei Chen...
"I'm afraid that won't work!"
Lu Jiuning was surprised that Bei Chen refused.
Then he explained, "It's fine for Mr. Yu to be the first to taste a normally produced cocktail."
However, for cocktails like the Clover Club and Icebreaker, which are designed for specific groups, I can't guarantee you'll be the first to try them.
Upon hearing this, Yu Haiyang gave Bei Chen a second look: This man has his own principles.
I won't casually agree to something just because I want to achieve it.
“I understand, I can understand that. I only need the wines produced normally.”
It's done!
Bei Chen really didn't expect that Lu Jiuning could win over the son of the richest man in Mingjing City.
At this moment, Lu Jiuning finally felt relieved, and a bright smile bloomed on his face.
Given the current income of Hive Bar, opening a branch in a short period of time is undoubtedly a pipe dream.
Yu Haiyang is different. Unlike Lu Jiuning, whose funds are restricted, he has the full strength to open branch stores.
With each additional branch, she earns an extra commission, which undoubtedly accelerates her initial capital accumulation.
We are still far from our ultimate goal, but at least we have a direction.
"It's a pleasure doing business with you!"
"It's a pleasure to work with you!" Yu Haiyang extended his hand and shook hands gently with Lu Jiuning.
"I'm actually very curious about Mr. Mask's relationship with Boss Lu, and what his relationship is with this bar."
I don't believe he's just a simple employee.
An ordinary employee would not reveal such a trump card as over a hundred kinds of cocktails to the employer.
Unless, of course, you yourself are the owner!
Yu Haiyang's mind does work very quickly; he immediately came up with the right idea.
Bei Chen and Lu Jiuning exchanged a glance, then smiled slightly. Since they were now on the same side, there was no need to hide anything.
Then, he reached out and removed the clown mask from his face.
That face, half Buddha and half demon, appeared before Yu Haiyang.
Yu Haiyang was completely unprepared, and his pupils contracted.
Half of it was because I was surprised by this face, and the other half was because it was unexpected.
"Everyone outside says that Mr. Mask is not Xiao Lanling, after all, he does not have such musical talent."
Until the moment you took off your mask, I suddenly understood.
These three songs weren't actually written for anyone else, but for yourself, right?
Yu Haiyang sighed deeply. If it were him, he probably would have thought about ending it all too.
No wonder Bei Chen always wore the masked man on stage.
Otherwise, if it were someone else, they would have already taken off their mask, made a name for themselves first, and then planned for the future.
Lu Jiuning explained, "This bar is actually run jointly by Bei Chen and me."
I manage the bar, he writes songs and researches new cocktails!
My guess was pretty much the same as Yu Haiyang's.
At the same time, he could see the other party's sincerity. They were willing to let him know about such a secret matter, and Bei Chen even took off his mask in front of him, which clearly showed that they didn't consider him an outsider.
It seems there's yet another reason to collaborate.
And so, Yu Haiyang officially joined the company as the manager of Beehive Bar.
The salary is tentatively set at 15,000 yuan a month, which is less than 20% of his spare change, but the future income will definitely far exceed this amount.
Even three cobblers with their mediocre skills can outwit one Zhuge Liang!
With Yu Haiyang's funding, expertise, and connections, the development and planning of Beehive Bar can be further improved...
While they were talking in detail, they were unaware that the outside world's discussion about Hive Bar, Mr. Mask, and the new song had already reached a certain level:
Shocking: Can Mr. Mask's New Song Alleviate the Suffering of Depression?
Old Cat announces: Mr. Mask's new song works on him!
Can you believe it? A bar ranked below 10,000 released three new songs in just one month?!
What does this newly launched cocktail taste like? It's causing a frenzy of buying!
...
These headlines, filled with sensationalist language, were eagerly reported by major media outlets.
The song "I Once Thought of Ending It All" has also begun to be known by people.
It even climbed to fifth place on the Gravity Hot Search List at one point.
This is why the song garnered nine million plays within three days of being uploaded to Tencent Music.
Its chart climb speed surpassed that of "Rose Boy," and it has now reached number 62 on the new song chart.
The video uploaded to Gravity also consistently received over 600,000 likes.
The number of followers on the Hive Bar account has increased significantly, now exceeding 90,000.
Just as Bei Chen woke up, the system text in his mind suddenly turned red:
[The bar's influence has successfully reached 0.1%, unlocking the next level of permissions. Unlock now?]
Upon seeing this, Bei Chen immediately did a somersault and jumped up.
"Unlock! Unlock it now!"
Unlocked successfully!
Congratulations, host, on your promotion from Level 4 to Level 3!
