Chapter 205: Disgusting Business Model



"Do it yourself?"

The students in Class 9 were shocked when they heard Ren Yan’s words.

"Teacher Ren, can you make ice cream?"

Ren Yan shrugged casually: "How difficult do you think this thing is?"

"The ingredients required are nothing more than butter, milk, sugar, eggs and some different flavorings."

"At most you just need to get another ice cream mold, and if you remove the eggs, you don't even need to turn on the fire."

"Ah?" Ah Wei sat up in surprise: "It's just a small amount, and they dare to sell it for 60 yuan?!"

"As for capital, there is nothing they dare not do in order to make a profit."

After saying that, Ren Yan shook the packaging bag in his hand.

"I just looked at the material list and roughly calculated that the production cost of their ice cream is only three or four yuan at most, and this is assuming that the material list they provided is correct."

"If we include the later promotional expenses, the cost price of an ice cream cone will probably rise to ten yuan."

"With a 600% profit, I now understand why there have been so many ice creams at sky-high prices recently."

"This is actually faster than just robbing the money, and there's no risk."

"Which investor doesn't want to get involved?"

"But in the end, all that's left is a mess."

“Consumers are not stupid.”

At the end of his speech, Ren Yan sighed slightly.

To be honest, Ren Yan has always wanted the students in Class 9 to learn how to make money.

But Ren Yan was very annoyed by this obvious way of "robbing".

It’s not because they don’t treat consumers as human beings at all. After all, it’s a voluntary fight and a voluntary fight, so it can’t be considered as forced sales.

But I am fed up with their reckless way of making profits.

Judging from the pricing of this ice cream and the way it has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, it is obvious that they are the type that want to make a quick buck and then walk away.

There was no consideration of the future industry prospects at all.

If things go wrong, the industry may be completely uprooted.

They made some money, but what next?

Aren’t they the hard-working colleagues who have to pay the bill?

The high-priced ice cream seems to be only ruining their own reputation.

However, in reality, it is the reputation of the entire industry.

This is the fundamental reason why Ren Yan finally said that only a mess would be left.

Of course, there is an even sadder truth to this.

Although those affordable ice creams have an excellent reputation among the people, it is also a fact that they cannot compete with those high-priced ice creams in terms of publicity.

After all, they don't have much money to spend on publicity and promotion.

It was all the word of mouth over the years that created their own era.

However, this era was ruthlessly shattered by capital...

This is also Ren Yan's original intention of letting the students in Class 9 learn how to make money.

Capital, if not properly controlled, can be a devastating disaster.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many nouveau riche whose families would be ruined after a few years.

Everything requires a long period of familiarity and mastery.

This is also the most important "knowledge" in student days.

But unfortunately, now it seems that only Ren Yan is thinking this way...

After that, the students in Class 9 all started to look through the material list on the back of the packaging bag.

Then, they were filled with question marks.

Ecuadorian cocoa beans, ice crystal grapes, Qingcaoyuan Holy Milk, Haidao citric acid...

To be honest, they have never heard of these things.

But somehow I feel that this ice cream is not so useless.

At least the materials they use are really stylish...

“Don’t worry about the prefixes.”

Ren Yan spoke at the right time:

"You just need to know the specific materials used in it."

"Take this ice cream for example, all it uses is dark chocolate, grapes, milk, cream and citric acid."

"The total value of these materials is probably only about three or four dollars at most."

"Even this, we still need the freshest ingredients."

After hearing this, the students were speechless for a while, and then they all looked at Ren Yan:

"Then Mr. Ren, if it is such a simple material, why do you need to add a prefix?"

"Just improve your image."

Ren Yan threw the packaging bag in his hand into the trash bag, took a bite of the ice cream and continued:

"As long as some prefixes that sound 'healthy' are added in front of very common ingredients, the price of the ingredient will increase exponentially. Originally one yuan per pound, he dares to sell it for ten yuan."

"This is the most common tactic used by so-called 'luxury' foods these days."

"After all, some wealthy people now only buy the most expensive things, not the best."

"For example, Wang Bo, this name sounds very ordinary."

"But if I say King. Saint. Inlisabello V. Marquis of Lunberiz. Bo, would you feel that the name Wang Bo suddenly becomes more noble, like an old European Junker nobleman with a Union Jack?"

For some reason, the students in Class 9 turned their attention to Wang Bo, who was standing aside with a dazed look, and nodded.

Wang Bo glared at Ren Yan: "Teacher Ren, you can actually change someone next time!"

Ren Yan ignored it and continued:

"So, this is actually just a method. It sounds powerful, but in fact, it doesn't exist at all."

“It’s all made up.”

The students of Class 9 were a little confused, but they still asked in confusion:

"Aren't these guys afraid of being investigated for doing this?"
