“Miss, the cost of ingredients and alcohol is really high,” Kangping pondered before telling them, “Your selling method is indeed attractive, but the people you attract don’t make money. We’re losing 90% of our earnings today.”
邢代容 was a college student in her previous life. She was in an era that encouraged entrepreneurship, a time when shared bicycles, shared economy, ride-hailing platforms, and food delivery platforms were springing up one after another. Big capital was throwing money around like crazy, burning through cash, and the entire society was thriving and prosperous.
She heard about these losses and simply said that Kangping was shortsighted. “You don’t understand. This is called cultivating the market, building momentum and publicity, and growing our pie. Who doesn’t spend money to cultivate customers at the beginning?”
Kangping didn’t understand a single word of what Xing Dai Rong was saying. Xing Dai Rong continued, arm in arm with Cheng Yunshuo, “Yunshuo, I’m seizing the blank market. Early losses are inevitable, but we have to see that the market is far more important than anything else. We grab it first, and if others want to snatch it later, they’ll have to pay a higher price.”
Kangping: “…….”. But who would be stupid enough to spend that much money to compete with her for the poor market?
Cheng Yunshuo saw Xing Dai Rong so happy, and even though he didn’t understand, he smiled along with her. “Well, I’ll listen to you.”
Half a month passed in a flash. Xing Dai Rong’s buffet was getting more and more popular. It became known throughout the entire Capital City. The novel way of eating, the abundant food, and the cheap meal prices attracted a constant stream of people to the Ju Fu Buffet. They had to hang up a “Closed” sign by noon every day. All the ingredients they ordered were consumed each day. Many people would come with their young children to line up for food before dawn.
As a result, Xing Dai Rong’s name once again swept across the Capital City. Everyone knew that Ju Fu Buffet was opened by the Young Master of the Ningyang Houfu for Xing Dai Rong.
For a while, the title of “Extraordinary Woman” echoed again in the streets and alleys. Storytellers even embellished the story of Cheng Yunshuo and Xing Dai Rong, portraying them as a golden boy and jade girl. Even those in the noble circles, while disdaining Xing Dai Rong’s background, had to admit she had made a name for herself this time.
Some of Cheng Yunshuo’s friends would joke with him when they saw him, saying he had married a wonderful and unique treasure.
These days, Xing Dai Rong was truly enjoying the sweet taste of success. Even Qiu Ling had to avoid her when she met her in the mansion.
Lu Lingyun finished reviewing the day’s accounts in the courtyard and unexpectedly received an invitation.
“Where is it from?”
“From the Wang General’s Mansion.”
Qi Luo?
Lu Lingyun immediately became excited. “Quickly invite her in!”
“Yes!”
Since getting married, she hadn’t been in contact with Wang Qi Luo. Firstly, she was busy managing the Houfu affairs after marriage, and secondly, she was now married while Wang Qi Luo was still unmarried, so she couldn’t be as casual as before and visit her at the mansion.
Hearing that Wang Qi Luo was visiting, Lu Lingyun quickly had the courtyard cleaned up and the best snacks and drinks presented.
Wang Qi Luo, dressed in a goose-yellow gauze dress, entered her courtyard, and Lu Lingyun excitedly stepped forward.
