After a long half hour, the taxi finally stopped in front of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant, just when Xu An and Liu Daxi were getting impatient. Before the car had even come to a complete stop, Xu An and Liu Daxi scrambled out. Xu An casually handed the driver the money, not even bothering to see if the bill was a dark blue ten-yuan note or a green fifty-yuan note.
Other taxi drivers drive to make money, but this driver is driving a taxi with the intention of taking lives! Suppressing his nausea, Xu An glanced back at the license plate and memorized the number. From now on, if he sees this license plate number, he'll stay as far away as possible!
After resting against a tree for a while, Xu An finally recovered and started walking into the shop. He had only taken two steps when he saw Xu Heping and the other two, who had been having a heated discussion, suddenly look up at him. Before Xu An could ask what was wrong, Xu Heping spoke first, asking, "Anzi, have you been doing any promotional activities lately? Today, our three stalls have had a lot more strangers coming to shop, they look like office workers from nearby."
Promotion and publicity? He's been so busy lately, he hasn't had time for that. But just as he was about to speak, he suddenly remembered that Meng Huai's team from 'Haishi Food Studio' had come to interview and film him yesterday. They even sent him a draft at eight o'clock this morning to check and make sure there were no problems with the content.
Could it be them?
Xu An took out his phone and opened QQ. He saw a small red dot on Meng Huai's chat box with the Arabic numeral 1 inside.
'Mr. Xu, the long article has been sent out (link)'
"It really is them! They're incredibly fast. They only filmed yesterday, and it's only been a day, yet they've already edited and published it. Their efficiency is truly impressive." Xu An thought to himself, clicking on the link Meng Huai had sent. He had already read the long article and quickly scrolled to the bottom to check the comments from netizens.
The tweet was posted at 12:02 PM today, and two hours have passed since then. There are already more than 200 comments on the tweet, and the top comment has received 2,300 likes.
"Haha, I spotted the Xu's Fast Food stall near the construction site a while ago. I've been eating there for days now, and honestly, it's really good (thumbs up)."
'A single person wrote a petition in blood, begging Xu's Fast Food Restaurant to open a branch! (Frustrated)'
'Why are all the comments praising it? Are they all paid trolls? This Xu's Fast Food Restaurant owner is only eighteen years old, and he's really rich! (laughs)'
'.'
It seems this is the reason. Many people in the comments said they immediately tried to buy it after seeing the tweet; quite a few succeeded, but even more failed. Selecting to view the latest comments immediately revealed a bunch of comments like "It's a scam" and "It doesn't exist at all," indicating that these people all came away empty-handed.
At first glance, it seems there are quite a few people in the comments who wanted to buy boxed meals but couldn't find any. I wonder if it would be feasible to let them order in advance and pick up their meals at the construction site entrance tomorrow.
Whether it's feasible or not, just try it and you'll know. Even if it doesn't work, you won't lose anything.
'Boss Meng, I saw the tweet. The team is doing a fantastic job!'
Xu An exchanged a few polite words, then typed rapidly on the virtual keyboard on his phone, composing a long message before sending it again.
"I've seen many comments saying they went there empty-handed. I'd like to ask you, Mr. Meng, to post an update offering free meals to the first ten customers who order from the locations of these three construction sites and who mention '666' in their order notes, and a free bottle of apple cider vinegar to the first fifty customers. Is that alright?"
Xu An didn't know if Meng Huai was taking a lunch break, discussing pricing with his team, or considering the feasibility of this novel model. It took nearly ten minutes for Xu An to receive Meng Huai's reply.
Meng Huai had just returned to his computer after his lunch break when he saw the message from Xu An. His first instinct was to consider how much to charge for such a promotional ad. But a moment later, he realized that these kinds of hard-sell ads were usually reserved for the other two accounts, but Xu's Fast Food Restaurant's promotion was aimed at office workers. Was this really appropriate?
But when he saw the comments on the tweet he sent before his lunch break, he immediately understood why Xu An had made such a request, and he instantly felt a surge of excitement. Promotions like offering free meals are extremely beneficial for increasing account follower engagement and ratings.
Previously, I thought this account mainly focused on cheap and delicious food, so I would only accept promotions from shops that approached me. I never even considered free meals. After all, a boxed meal costs only nine or ten yuan at the cheapest, and twenty or thirty yuan at the most expensive. It would be too low-class to do a promotion like that.
However, Xu An's suggestion, once the quantity increased, immediately gained a higher level of prestige. Fifty discounted spots could attract at least a hundred fans to participate. Businesses offering free photoshoots in the future could try to secure similar spots—a few free, plus twenty or thirty discounted spots. Even though it's free, they can still generate traffic, so it's a win-win situation.
Friendships are friendships, but this is business, and business rules apply. Giving things away for free is out of the question; the fees must be charged. However, considering the new approach they provided for promoting my account, I'll offer a small discount.
"Mr. Xu, this is promotional work and requires a fee."
"How much?" Xu An replied quite decisively.
"However, your store's data is very good. Here's a discount for you: the original promotion fee of 1,500 yuan will only cost you 1,000 yuan. If it's suitable, I'll promote it first, and then we'll contact Mr. Xu to sign the contract and collect payment later."
