After thanking them repeatedly, the three of them put two small red envelopes on the counter, and each of them carried a large bag of braised food, got on their motorcycle, and sped away.
It took 25 minutes to bring the braised dishes back to the village and deliver them to the aunties who were responsible for arranging the dishes. As soon as one plate of braised dishes was placed on one side, another plate was placed on the other. After rushing around, all the cold dishes were finally on the table at 4:10.
Whether it was out of respect for the host or because everyone genuinely thought the braised dishes tasted good, the banquet was filled with praise, and the atmosphere was harmonious, as if nothing had just happened.
After the banquet, many people used the scene that unfolded at the banquet as gossip. The story spread like wildfire, and soon everyone in Yuanshan Town knew that there was a braised food shop in town. Someone had a banquet go wrong, and they bought some braised dishes from this shop to salvage the situation – the food was delicious, cheap, and convenient.
Conference room at Xu's Catering headquarters, Tuesday morning at 10:00 AM.
"Our proposed cooperation plan and posters have been approved by the live streaming platform and Taobao. These three posters will be used on Taobao's launch page. This set of posters will be used on the homepage and banners of the live shopping section. This set is our Taobao store's promotional posters. This is for promotional videos on Dayan's blog and WeChat account."
As soon as Tang Wen finished speaking, Gu Jiayi immediately followed up.
"I will be cooperating with the Taobao platform to launch the new Taobao store design at midnight tonight. All product images have been modified based on the Taobao launch page poster."
After Gu Jiayi finished speaking, Lu Shengnan followed, and everyone in the conference room turned their attention to her.
"The three-day opening promotion officially ended at 8 PM last night. Xu's Braised Food Huiyuan Mall store averaged 800 jin (400 kg) in sales per day, meeting expectations. Xu's Braised Food Hongxing Town store averaged 390 jin (145 kg) in sales per day, which was satisfactory. Xu's Braised Food Yuanshan Town branch averaged 500 jin (250 kg) in sales per day, exceeding the estimated sales by 100 jin (50 kg)."
After Lu Shengnan finished speaking, she lightly tapped the keyboard with her fingers, the image on the projector switched, and her voice continued to report, sounding somewhat erratic.
"The order data for the Yuanshan Town branch showed four orders with a single purchase amount exceeding 1,000 yuan. At first, I thought it was due to a staff member's operational error, but after calling to inquire, I found that these four orders were real and were processed normally."
"These orders are..." Xu An readily accepted Lu Shengnan's words, waiting for her to reveal the final answer.
"These orders represent large-scale purchases of braised dishes by people in Yuanshan Town, intended for use as appetizers at banquets, because they are inexpensive, delicious, and convenient."
"Appetizers for the banquet?"
The others in the conference room repeated the keyword in unison. After receiving Lu Shengnan's affirmative nod, strange expressions appeared on everyone's faces. Xu An's lips even twitched uncontrollably.
Why does it feel like Xu's Catering is going further and further astray?
Like Xu's Fast Food, which started as a street vendor selling boxed lunches, intending to make a living by opening a fast food restaurant, but somehow it inexplicably developed into a group catering business.
Secondly, there's Xu's Braised Food. They were selling authentic braised food when, inexplicably, they reached a cooperation agreement with the Disabled Persons' Federation. They thought that was the limit, but unexpectedly, once the branch in town opened, Xu's Braised Food transformed itself into an appetizer for rural banquets.
But it doesn't matter if it's a white cat or a black cat, as long as it can catch mice, it's a good cat!
Regardless of the initial purpose, isn't the ultimate goal to sell the product?
Now, the people of Yuanshan Town seem to have provided Xu's Braised Food with a completely new path that they had never considered before, yet it is very feasible!
Let alone 2012, even in 2030, the traditional rural banquet has not disappeared. On the contrary, it has become popular among young people in the new era due to its high cost-effectiveness.
Xu An's gaze swept over everyone in the meeting room, and finally two figures who were not sitting in the meeting room came to mind—Liu Tong and Liu Zhaowen!
Entrusting the task of scouting and communicating with the chefs or teams in Haishi who are responsible for catering banquets to them is the most suitable thing to do!
