Ru Yue took the bamboo tube of chili sauce and asked them to sit down, have some snacks and rest for a while.

She took the hot sauce and thought carefully about the people and things she had come into contact with during this period. It seemed that she had not offended anyone?

Seeing that it was getting late, she handed the chili sauce that Chu Ning'an brought back to Ruyi and asked her to make it and let everyone taste it first. She also instructed her to find Mother Li and Uncle Wei. Regardless of whether it was targeting her or not, since her product had just been launched and there were competitors, she had to study them first.

Soon, several people came to the conference room and sat around the table. Her team had not yet been truly formed, and there was no emergency plan for emergencies. However, things like today's incident were just right for practice.

Ru Yue first asked Chu Ning'an to briefly explain the whole story and his prediction to everyone, and also asked everyone to express their thoughts.

"Miss, our workshop was officially opened only this month. Normally, it is impossible for similar food to appear and compete with us so soon. But from the news brought back by the two young masters, the shop has already opened for sale, and the price is much lower than ours. I don't believe it if you say that they are not targeting us intentionally. I have calculated the cost of the chili sauce with you. Many of our ingredients are collected by ourselves, and the cost has been controlled at the lowest range. Then why is the other party's price so low?" Uncle Wei first expressed his thoughts.

"That makes sense." Ru Yue said.

"Girl, I don't know the ins and outs of business, but I've been cooking for most of my life. Food that looks the same may not taste the same, and the cost is also very different."

Mother Li is just a cook. She never thought that she would become a workshop manager at her age, so she has been learning things from Uncle Wei all these days. It makes sense for her to consider things from the perspective of her familiar areas.

"Girl, we might as well try their stuff first before drawing any conclusions."

Mother Li is usually a man of few words, but unexpectedly she can get to the point when encountering something. Ru Yue was very satisfied. "What you said makes sense, Ruyi, let's give it to everyone to try."

Ruyi was holding a tray, on which was placed a plate of steamed bun crumbs and two plates of chili sauce as usual. Needless to say, one was produced by themselves, and the other was bought from their opponent. Everyone present took a bite and savored it carefully.

After chewing a few bites, Ru Yue tasted the difference between this hot sauce and her own product.

"It's saltier than ours and not as fragrant as ours." Anping expressed his opinion after tasting it.

"If you don't compare them, I think their hot sauce is pretty good too. But once you put them together, the taste is obviously different. Customers who have eaten ours should be able to feel the difference right away." Chu Ning'an expressed his feelings and also told Ru Yue that many people who had never eaten it would choose the other party's sauce just to save money.

Uncle Wei and Ruyi also nodded in agreement with Chu Ning'an's idea.

"Miss, their chili peppers aren't fried fragrantly. At first glance, they seem to have the texture of dried beans, but they lack the fresh aroma of fermented black beans. The sauce is burnt, there's not enough sugar, and there's not enough spice powder..." Mother Li, a former cook, thoroughly analyzed the characteristics of the sauce. "They're indeed imitating our chili sauce, but they don't use enough ingredients. That's one of the reasons why Chen Ben is so low."

Seeing that everyone had expressed their thoughts, Ru Yue glanced at them and said, "This is indeed targeting us. Although we can't figure out their intentions now, they are definitely enemies, not friends, after going this far. I have two countermeasures. Let's see which one is better."

No one expected that she would come up with a solution so quickly, and everyone looked at her.

"The first plan is to take the initiative. You also said that as long as we taste the two sauces together, we can immediately distinguish the superior and inferior ones. So we can set up a stall near them to taste the sauces and let the buyers judge for themselves. After the sifting of the strong, we will retain the high-end and high-quality customers. Of course, some people prefer to buy cheap goods. After all, no one product can win over all consumers, right?"

Ru Yue paused briefly, took a sip of tea, and continued, "The second option is to ignore them. Mother Li just tasted and analyzed the ingredients. Their costs are indeed lower than ours, but the initial loss won't be that big. Think about it, their shop rent, employee wages, raw material costs... Can you calculate their specific costs? They will only be higher than ours, never lower, and yet they're almost half the price of ours now. How long do you think they can sustain such a loss?"

Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up. Isn't that the truth?
