Chapter 330 Milk Tea War
"Zeng Liangcai?"
"Yes." Lu Lixuan nodded, and added nervously, "She used to be a regular customer of my house, but I haven't seen her recently."
The customer at the counter was a young white-collar lady. In Lv Lixuan's impression, she often appeared with Zeng Liangcai, so she should be her friend.
"Oh, I haven't seen Zeng Liangcai for a while. I heard that she was on a business trip." She replied.
"Is that so?" Lu Lixuan was relieved. Seeing that the other party was about to leave, he quickly asked, "Excuse me, when will she be back?"
"Soon. It won't be long."
"Okay, okay."
The female office worker left. A colleague at the side said with a snicker, "You are such a fool. Are you happy now?"
"She hasn't come back yet." Lu Lixuan's hands were not idle. He put a new cup of milk tea into the paper package. To be honest, when he heard the news about Zeng Liangcai, he felt an inexplicable tremor in his body. Maybe this is what love is.
"I think it's better for you to focus on the milk tea right now." A fellow clerk said, "I think our rival New Glen's First Snow might make some moves."
"Oh." Lu Lixuan responded. But this was just a simple response. Apart from the milk tea that could keep Zeng Liangcai, he had no interest in anything else.
…
…
Zhu Xiaojing, the manager of New Glen's First Snow, is indeed planning something.
I haven't lost yet, she thought.
Xiaomeng Tao Tea House's signature milk tea is excellent. There is no doubt that the milk tea is a little better than hers, Zhu Xiaojing admitted in her heart. Well, it's just a little better.
However, no matter how delicious or popular a product is, it will eventually fade away. The public is fond of new things and dislikes old things. The only popular product of Xiaomeng Taocha is the "City" milk tea, which is her breakthrough. After people get used to the same drink over and over again, the public's attention will always be attracted by something new.
I have to launch a new product, Zhu Xiaojing thought.
This is not a difficult task for her, as she has a wealth of professional theoretical knowledge and is passionate about drinks. As early as when she was a student, she liked to tinker with it herself and accumulated a lot of experience. Now several of the main drinks in the store are the results of her repeated experiments and research over the years.
Although she anticipated the public's fatigue, she really didn't expect to meet such a strong opponent.
The young man appeared in her mind. His handsome face looked sincere, but the words he said made her furious. What do you mean he is not professional? How can such precise taste control and proportion not be by professionals? What do you mean he only figured it out in a few days? Who are you kidding!
Before the conversation with Lu Lixuan, she still had some respect for him in her heart, but after seeing Lu Lixuan's boastful face, Zhu Xiaojing's competitive spirit was completely aroused.
I won't lose to a guy like that who talks nonsense!
Do you think you have won just by creating a new product that temporarily steals the limelight?
Full of fighting spirit, Zhu Xiaojing looked through her previous experimental notes, thinking about the inspiration for new products. There are several office buildings around her store, and the customer base is mainly young white-collar workers . Nowadays, the work pressure in society is high, and the average white-collar worker is in sub-health. Healthy diet has always been a topic of concern for them. Most of the customers who buy milk tea are women. In this case... Her eyes stayed on the notes of a fruit-flavored drink she had experimented with before, and her eyes lit up.
"Mom? What's wrong with you?" Xiaonan asked curiously while sitting aside.
"Xiaonan, Mom has a good idea!" Zhu Xiaojing hugged her daughter, "We will win!"
"Alright! Beat up Xiao Mengtao! Mom is the most powerful!"
…
…
Lu Lixuan was standing at the counter making milk tea as usual.
The store manager glanced out the window and said softly, "Strange, there seem to be fewer customers today."
My colleague said, "Yeah. I can even sit down and drink some water today."
Lu Lixuan handed the milk tea to the customer in front of the counter. He looked outside and thought, Zeng Liangcai still hasn't come back.
"This." A handsome middle school boy stood in front of him and pointed at the "City" milk tea with an expressionless face.
"Okay, wait a moment."
The middle school boy took the milk tea and left. Only then did Lu Lixuan realize that today's team had fewer people than yesterday.
the next day.
"We have such a large team!" a colleague shouted, "How could our great Jiangshan be gone overnight?!"
"..." Lu Lixuan looked out the window blankly. There were obviously fewer customers today than yesterday. The originally crowded flow of people became sparse. There was still no sign of Zeng Liangcai. The expressionless middle school student appeared again, and he pointed at the "City" milk tea again.
This middle school student comes almost every day. He is my most loyal customer, Lu Lixuan thought.
By the evening, the number of customers, which should have been at its peak, had decreased again. The store manager rushed into the store and shouted, "I was wondering why our customers suddenly decreased!!"
"What's wrong?"
"The first snow in New Gran has snatched away our guests!!"
"ah?"
Ren Anzhi pushed the door open and walked in. He placed a bag of milk tea on the table, looked at Lu Lixuan and said, "Our competitor has launched a new product, and now customers are coming back again."
"Ah? How could this happen! I knew what that woman would do!" shouted a fellow clerk.
"Business competition always goes back and forth." Ren Anzhi said calmly. He took out four cups of milk tea from the paper bag. "This is her new product - light fragrance."
Just like the name of this cup of milk tea, as soon as you open the lid, the fragrant aroma hits your nose. "It smells so good." A colleague whispered.
They each picked up their cups and took a sip at the same time.
"This flavor is passion fruit," said the store manager. "The texture is very light, and the taste levels are very well done."
My colleague touched his cheek and said, "It tastes good. I can feel the aroma spreading in my mouth. This is what it feels like to have a lingering fragrance in your mouth."
Ren Anzhi looked at the cup and said, "Besides the excellent taste, I think this is the key."
Everyone looked down and saw a line of big words written on the cup: "200 calories less than ordinary milk tea!"
"Her new product uses sugar substitutes, and other calorie-reducing treatments." Ren Anzhi said, "So... "
The store manager said, "It's this angle, awesome."
A fellow clerk shouted, "It's too cruel, it's a female killer!"
They walked out of the store together and looked across the street. They saw a long queue in front of the New Glen Chuxue store. The main force of milk tea buyers - female office workers and female students - ruthlessly abandoned the delicious calorie bomb and made their healthy choices.
A fellow clerk said quietly, "Mr. Ren, how about we put up your name..."
Ren Anzhi shook his head, "No, you can't expose my information." He looked at Lu Lixuan beside him, only to see that the young man was staring blankly at the opposite side.
How would he deal with this situation? Ren Anzhi was a little curious.
Lu Lixuan smiled and said, "That's great. Zeng Liangcai is not in the team ."
Well, this person is hopeless.
…
…
What surprised Ren Anzhi was that Lu Lixuan's sense of crisis came so quickly.
The reason was that Lu Lixuan discovered that the handsome middle school boy who came to buy milk tea every day had disappeared.
His most loyal customer ran away.
If even his most loyal customer could easily abandon him, wouldn't Zeng Liangcai immediately throw himself into the arms of his rival when he returned from his business trip? In this way, he would lose the opportunity to contact her again.
The mission to destroy humanity cannot end here.
Lu Lixuan quickly made a decision, which was - he was going to launch another new product.
So he returned to his workshop and worked without sleep again.
With the previous successful case and the perfect cooperation of the three members of the tasting group, Lv Lixuan created a new product in just two days.
This is a plain light green milk tea that exudes the clean and subtle fragrance of green tea.
This time, the inspiration came from his cellmates in the detention center who called his experience of being taken away by the police "going to the police station to drink tea." He asked why it was drinking tea, and his cellmates just laughed and didn't explain. After leaving the detention center, he found an opportunity to taste the local people's green tea. At first, he only felt bitter, but later he felt a little refreshing, just like his experience on this planet.
Thus, his second new product - Cha Yi was born.
…
…
This new product quickly attracted a lot of attention after its launch.
The entrance of Xiaomeng Tao Tea House has a "Cha Yi" advertising sign: "Take a sip after a busy day at work and feel the tranquility that permeates the tea fragrance." Facts have proved that Cha Yi tastes like this. Because of the reputation of "City" milk tea, many Internet celebrities have come to taste the new product. One Internet celebrity described Cha Yi on XiaoXshu as the purest mountain breeze, and another Internet celebrity directly said that drinking a cup of "Cha Yi" can make you feel clear all afternoon.
With such recommendations, this new product quickly became popular.
The customers returned like migratory birds. The entrance of Xiaomeng Tao Tea House was crowded with people again.
The store manager smiled happily again, and the three of them were busy as a top again.
For Lv Lixuan, Zeng Liangcai, who he cared about the most, still hadn't come back. However, the most loyal customer, the middle school boy, appeared in the queue again. This made Lv Lixuan feel relieved.
The next day, the manager of New Gran's Hatsuyuki appeared outside his counter again.
Zhu Xiaojing bought a cup of tea and tasted it as seriously as she did last time. Finally, she said, "You are very bold in every attempt, and this time is no exception. You are able to achieve this balance between tea polyphenols and protein. Is it the result of time control?"
"Yes." Lu Lixuan said,
Zhu Xiaojing took another sip, nodded, and said softly, "I see." Then she looked up and said, "You are indeed a genius. But..."
"What?"
"I won't lose!" Zhu Xiaojing looked straight at him, her eyes flashing with unwillingness. After making this statement, Zhu Xiaojing's face flushed slightly, and she turned and left.
"Wow! Here it comes again!!" said a fellow clerk.
“…”
The store manager looked at Zhu Xiaojing's receding back and said, "It looks like New Glen's first snow may be making some moves again. This woman is really amazing."
…
…
After a few days, the first snow of New Glen brought out new products.
The ruthless guests moved again, changing their route like army ants and gathering at the door of the store opposite.
Lu Lixuan devoted himself to the research and development of the new milk tea. He did not realize that he had not thought about destroying mankind for a long time.
