Chapter 327 Drains Traffic from Surrounding Businesses

At nine o'clock in the morning, Zhang Longhe, the production team leader, walked ahead with the keys, followed by several employees, ready to open the store for business.

Upon seeing the dense crowd outside the store, he was immediately stunned and then called Ye Lan.

"Boss, we're surrounded by zombies, what do we do?"

"Don't panic, they are all customers who came to deliver money. Open the store quickly," Ye Lan said calmly.

"Why are there so many people today? The number of customers just outside the door is already half of yesterday's sales."

"It's all because our product is so amazing. By the way, Longhe, does Li Changqing's recipe include any other Chinese herbal milk teas?"

Zhang Longhe is the team leader of the production department, and Li Changqing had already given him the formula.

"Some bosses, some."

"Of course, there are more than just one amazing milk tea like Yuanqi Chunlu. There are nine other varieties in total, each of which has significant health benefits. However, the interns under my command haven't learned how to make it yet and only know how to make Yuanqi Chunlu."

Ye Lan nodded, "I understand. That's all for now. When you have time later, please teach your employees."

"Boss, you're too kind. This is what I should do."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Lan felt that the group of college students recruited by Li Changqing were not entirely useless.

At least they are not cunning and will carry out the boss's orders without fail, which is the complete opposite of those seasoned veterans in the workplace.

Of course, this doesn't mean that seasoned veterans in the workplace are useless. Although they are shrewd, they are indeed capable and know how to share the burden of their bosses. They usually solve most problems on their own, and only report to higher-level leaders when they really can't solve them.

In contrast, inexperienced college students lack this ability, and Ye Lan needs to personally oversee many things, otherwise they are prone to deviating from their original trajectory.

However, this is actually a good thing for him. The company is still in its early stages, and too many smooth-talking employees would be difficult to control.

Zhang Longhe opened the shop door and proceeded step by step according to Ye Lan's plan.

The waiter first brought some stools from the store and neatly arranged them by the roadside.

Then, customers are made to line up neatly to order and pick up their tickets. Customers who are ranked lower can choose to go shopping and then come back to pick up their tickets. It's like a master of time management.

If you don't want to go shopping, you can sit on a bench and rest, quietly waiting for your number to be called.

This approach is incredibly humane; compared to other milk tea shops where you can only stand and wait in line, it's a game-changer.

In addition, the large number of visitors attracted the attention of most tourists.

More and more people are appearing at the store entrance.

"Brothers, what are you all doing lining up here?"

"Didn't you know? The guy in front of me said this milk tea can help your kidneys!"

"Kidney tonic!!! Really?"

The man immediately became interested upon hearing about the effect.

The allure of this effect for men is no less than that of becoming an armor summoner.

"I don't know either, but judging from the foot traffic, it shouldn't be fake. Plus, it's a new store opening, so the first cup is half price, only 25 yuan a cup. I'm a Glory King rank player, so I can get a 30% discount! Only a dozen yuan a cup."

"Game rank can get you a discount? That's awesome!"

"After a cup of milk tea, it's even better to have something without cilantro in the evening!" said another balding man with a black leather bag and a big belly.

........

As word spread, the number of people queuing outside grew larger and larger, even extending to the entrance of the milk tea shop across the street.

The nearsighted owner of the bubble tea shop across the street came over to inspect the place. Seeing so many people in front of his shop, he almost grinned from ear to ear.

I thought to myself, "No wonder it's a weekend, the crowds are huge!"

Entering the store through the back door, he saw the cashier playing on his phone and angrily said, "What's wrong with you? Playing on your phone during work hours? Do you believe I'll fire you?"

The cashier reluctantly put his phone back in his pocket. "Boss, didn't you say I could use my phone when there were no customers?"

"How could there be no customers when there are so many people at the door? Show me today's sales figures."

The cashier obediently did as instructed.

Upon seeing the data, the boss's pupils dilated sharply, and he even took off his glasses.

"What's going on? How come only 15 orders have been sold?"

"It's a weekend today, but there are so many people queuing up at the door."

After the boss finished venting, the young man calmly said, "Boss, if you look closely, you'll see that all those people at the door are facing away from us."

The boss's heart skipped a beat after hearing this.

"You mean, this group of people works at that bubble tea shop across the street?"

“That’s right.” The cashier nodded.

"That shouldn't be the case. The milk tea shop across the street is called 'Xueyao Chinese Medicine Milk Tea,' a name I've never heard of before. How could it have so many people on its second day of opening?"

Shop manager Lao Shen frowned deeply.

The milk tea industry is highly competitive.

A week ago, he noticed that milk tea equipment was being moved into the empty space.

This means there will be one more competitor.

However, he stopped paying attention the moment the shop sign appeared.

Xueyao Chinese Herbal Milk Tea?

I've never even heard of it!

The milk tea industry is already saturated. Apart from a few well-known shops, very few self-operated stores can make money.

Even for self-operated milk tea shops endorsed by celebrities, sales are dismal.

If one out of ten self-operated milk tea shops can make money, it's a stroke of incredible luck.

"Old Shen, Old Shen, come out here for a second."

Old Xu, the owner of the milk tea shop next door, was half-lying on the door frame, waving vigorously at Old Shen, looking somewhat anxious.

"Old Xu, what's the matter that's so urgent?" Old Shen strode out of the shop.

"What was your sales figure today?" Old Xu asked anxiously.

Old Shen thought Old Xu was there to show off, so he lied and said, "We've only sold 150 cups so far. The peak hours on weekends are in the afternoon and evening, so I estimate we can sell more then."

To his surprise, Old Xu's jaw dropped when he heard this.

"Holy crap, so many? We only have 22 cups!"

"Oh! Your store is doing so badly too?"

Old Xu blinked. "Why did you use the word 'also'?"

Old Shen simply admitted, "I was just bragging, but I actually sold 15 cups this morning!"

"Then that's it. I asked around on my way here, and there wasn't a single store with more than 50 customers. It seems that all our customers have been taken away by this store."

Old Xu glared at the bustling shop through gritted teeth, his eyes blazing with fury as if he wanted to incinerate it.

It's like a giant magnet, radiating a strong magnetic field in all directions, and the customers coming and going are like iron needles, all drawn to it.

In addition, Ye Lan thoughtfully prepared chairs for customers to rest.

This resulted in other shops not even being able to get leftovers.
