"Tap tap tap!"
"What kind of catchy music is this? Hahaha! Did the boss and his wife run away together?"
"Anime-themed bubble tea shop? Maids selling bubble tea as payment? Is that fun? Let's go check it out."
The catchy, mind-bending song echoed throughout Hangzhou University, prompting many students to rush to the commercial street after hearing it.
At this moment, people in the commercial street were also attracted by the sound of the speakers outside the store and gradually gathered at the entrance of the milk tea shop.
"Alright! Now, maid squad, butler squad, move out!"
Chen Luo gestured to Liu Hua, who immediately organized a group of maids to open the glass door and then line up in a row.
"Welcome home, everyone!"
These maids were all beauties specially selected by Liu Hua. Although their looks weren't as stunning as Wen Wan and Ye Lina, they were at least 6 or 7 out of 10 in terms of appearance. With their exquisite makeup and maid outfits, they looked pure and lovely.
The addition of the over-the-knee black elements by Chen Luo made the men outside the store extremely pleased with the look, and they all wanted to go inside.
The butlers on the side were no less impressive, each one a handsome man over 180cm tall. Their long legs paired with their butler uniforms made women of all ages who passed by stare in disbelief.
In no time, dozens of people poured into the milk tea shop. As soon as they entered, they saw the unique decoration and their goodwill towards it grew even stronger.
"Wow! Naruto! That's Itachi Uchiha's Susanoo!"
"I'm a lifelong fan of Ryuko and Tora! Kugimiya Rie's four favorite characters... wait, ordering milk tea here comes with a Taiga cosplayer swearing service? Urusai? I want it! I want it!"
"Bankai! Tensa Zangetsu! This collector's edition poster is actually here! I couldn't get my hands on one before!"
"They have milk tea with various anime themes, yay! I'll quickly call my friends to come and drink it."
For these customers, this novel themed milk tea shop felt like entering a grand garden, with a dazzling array of products that filled them with excitement.
Looking at the expressions of these customers, Yelena instantly understood the promotional purpose of the song Chen Luo had just played.
"This kid is a master of publicity and marketing, with each step linked to the next."
At least 70% of people who like maid outfits are also fans of anime and manga.
Once these people walk in, they are immediately attracted by the unique environment of the store. Coupled with the attire of the maids and butlers, at least half of them will become repeat customers.
Yelena looked around and saw a long queue at the milk tea shop. At that moment, Liu Hua and Zhou Zheng were standing at the counter with smiles on their faces.
One is an adorable, busty loli dressed in a maid outfit, and the other is a dashing, long-legged nobleman.
This pairing was so popular with both men and women that no one needed to maintain order; they automatically formed two lines, one for men and one for women.
The queue stretched all the way outside the store, becoming increasingly long.
At this moment, Yelena noticed that Chen Luo had come to the counter and handed a microphone to Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng cleared his throat, picked up the microphone, and immediately began his enthusiastic promotion.
"Dear relatives, customers, and friends!"
"Today we're having a grand opening sale! Customers who buy our milk tea today simply need to take a picture of our promotional poster on the wall, share it on WeChat Moments and QQ Space, and collect 10 likes to immediately receive a free milk tea for just 1 yuan!"
"First come, first served! What are you waiting for! If you miss it today, the milk tea will go back to 10 yuan tomorrow!"
Under Zhou Zheng's instigation, almost everyone quickly started taking pictures of the promotional posters on the wall and forwarding them.
[Anime-themed bubble tea shop, only one yuan a cup! Come quick! Don't forget to like this post!]
The maids here are so pretty! And they speak so sweetly, I love it here!
[Girls! Come quick! Grand opening special! A cup of milk tea is only one yuan! I didn't want to share this, but that handsome butler is smiling at me!]
Seeing the bustling activity in the milk tea shop, Yelena couldn't help but look at Chen Luo, who was standing silently behind the counter, with newfound respect.
As the saying goes, the layman sees the spectacle, while the expert sees the details.
Anyone who has actually run a business knows that most of the initial marketing and promotion costs for opening a store are sunk costs.
It's possible that after offering discounts during the grand opening promotion, not many customers will come the next day.
Chen Luo's milk tea shop adopted a series of interconnected promotional steps for its opening today, maximizing the efficiency of the opening promotion while also spreading the word to the outside world.
There were at least 100 people present, so their multi-channel reposting could spread the word at least tenfold.
This means that the business has reached at least 1,000 people in the first hour of opening. With the arrival of subsequent customers, the sales and promotional effect will reach an extremely high level.
"This Chen Luo is quite capable, and his marketing concepts are quite advanced."
"Hmph! But with a little time, I can do it too!"
"I'll sit here in the shop today and see what other tricks you have up your sleeve."
Yelena was unknowingly drawn to Chen Luo's marketing philosophy, and her intuition told her that there seemed to be something special about this young man.
It's a kind of superiority and incongruity that you can't usually see, but once he starts doing something, he exudes a sense of being ahead of those around him.
This sense of incongruity was different from the typical business geniuses Yelena had encountered. Those geniuses might be half a step ahead of the times, and their occasional flashes of inspiration could make them incredibly wealthy.
Chen Luo, on the other hand, gave her the feeling that he was several steps ahead of the times, and that his casual moves were a crushing blow to his competitors in the same industry and under the same conditions.
Could this be the reason why Wen Wan chose him?
Unconsciously, Yelena kept her eyes on Chen Luo's figure, observing his every move and watching him take control of the situation at the milk tea shop counter.
This composure and competence are comparable to some seasoned business veterans. This cannot be explained by talent alone. Could it be that he has done business before?
Countless questions arose in Yelena's mind, and before she knew it, she had been sitting there for an entire afternoon.
Watching countless people of all kinds come to this milk tea shop to buy milk tea, take photos, and check in, men and women drooling over the pretty maids and handsome butlers...
As night fell, the day's business operations were coming to an end. It wasn't that Chen Luo wanted to end it so quickly; it was just that all the materials prepared for the day had been sold out!
"Dear customers, we're sorry, we've sold out of milk tea for today. Please come back tomorrow. We open at 10 a.m. Sorry, we're sorry!"
Chen Luo had Zhou Zheng pick up the microphone to calm the customers down. It was only with great difficulty that they left, leaving Yelena sitting alone in the corner of the milk tea shop.
Liu Hua felt her legs were going numb from standing all afternoon. She rubbed her short legs and turned to ask Zhou Zheng and Chen Luo a question.
"Brother Luo, Zhou Zheng, how many cups did we sell this afternoon?"
Chen Luo asked Zhou Zheng to open the cash register and check the afternoon's sales and the total number of cups of milk tea.
Zhou Zheng opened the cash register and saw the total figure; his eyes widened in shock.
"Holy crap! How can there be so many? Is this some kind of absurd?"
