King of Kings, start with a perfect record and strive for the top spot.

As the days passed, the last trace of winter's chill completely disappeared.

As the weather in Shanghai gradually warms up, passersby are taking off their bulky down jackets and putting on spring and autumn coats.

Wearing one layer is too cold, and wearing two layers is too hot.

Since switching to smaller packaging, online sales have been fully opened up.

It must be admitted that the purchasing power of online shopping far exceeds that of offline brick-and-mortar stores!

The daily turnover is over 100,000.

It seems that the concept of consuming from home has taken root in people's hearts.

The milk tea shop owners who worked with Ye Lan were all smiles.

They were initially quite anxious when the shop was taken back.

During that time, they asked Ye Lan every day when she would open the shop and whether she had chosen a location.

Ye Lan always gave a perfunctory reply, saying, "Let's talk about it in a few days."

How can we wait to make money?

They were all ready to cause trouble, but a few days later, Ye Lan actually booked a large warehouse.

Then they rehired all the previous employees and shifted the sales model from offline to online.

Online sales of milk tea are relatively rare, primarily due to packaging issues.

Goods are easily damaged if they are handled roughly during express delivery.

This negatively impacts the customer's shopping experience, making repeat purchases difficult.

Ye Lan had already noticed this, and the product's outer packaging box was made of thickened and hardened material, making it extremely sturdy.

Even if it falls from a height of three stories, it will remain intact without any damage.

Another issue is the shelf life.

Regular milk tea has virtually no shelf life and should generally be consumed on the same day. Once left until the next day, its taste will be greatly diminished.

The taste was also strangely indescribable.

With this in mind, Ye Lan made two preparations.

One method involves professional sterilization and airtight storage, which can extend the shelf life to one month.

However, this shelf life was still not enough, so Ye Lan prepared a second packaging method.

That means sending the raw materials directly and letting the customers cook it themselves.

Both methods received very positive feedback.

The comment section was full of applause.

But you can't please everyone.

Among the tens of thousands of comments, Ye Lan also found a few negative ones.

such as:

"It's supposed to be a herbal milk tea, but it doesn't taste bitter at all, so it definitely doesn't have any effect."

"I just bought one, and the quality is excellent, just as described by the seller. The kids love it. The design is great, the fabric is delicate, the size is perfect, it doesn't transfer to cups but still keeps makeup in place for a long time, the orange color makes my skin look brighter, my hair is very smooth and not oily at all after washing, the screen is clear and it runs smoothly, it's suitable for sensitive skin, and the grip is really comfortable and doesn't hurt my gums. I add a little bit every time I cook. I'm very satisfied with this purchase."

"The seller didn't read the notes, bad review."

Ye Lan: "You fucking made a note asking me to put two hundred yuan in your package, and you still have the nerve to say that? Get lost!"

Ye Lan either replied or deleted; in short, there was absolutely no need to leave any trace.

After finishing all this, Ye Lan put down her phone, put on her coat, and then went to inspect the department store as usual.

Checking on the store's operations every day has become a part of his daily routine.

Upon arriving at the department store, the roller shutters of their own shops were lowered to the ground, and through the glass, one could see employees playing games on their mobile phones.

Surprisingly, Ye Lan didn't get angry after she went in.

The employees showed no remorse for being caught slacking off; instead, they greeted Ye Lan warmly.

"Boss, you've come to inspect again today?"

"Yeah, I just came to check on things." Ye Lan nodded and continued, "Did you sell out of today's stock again?"

"Yes, we just opened today, and a hotel owner ordered 200 cups, which immediately turned away a large number of customers."

"Why did you buy so much?" Ye Lan asked, somewhat surprised.

"It's probably because Valentine's Day is coming soon, so hotels will be busier and those kinds of things will be scarce."

Zhang Longhe raised an eyebrow, as if to say, "Boss, you know what I mean!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Lan stroked her chin, as if she had discovered a new business opportunity.

The effects of this Yuanqi Chunlu milk tea are indeed very suitable for a place like a hotel.

If we could install a beverage vending machine in every hotel specifically for selling Vitality Dew.

That would be a truly terrifying number.

Ye Lan thought this was a good idea, so she called Hu Weihao and asked him to contact nearby hotels to see if they had any ideas for cooperation.

After being mentored by Ye Lan, Hu Weihao has shed his student naiveté and become more mature in his speech and actions, possessing the ability to stand on his own.

After hanging up the phone and assigning tasks to Hu Weihao, Ye Lan discovered that the milk tea shop across the street was actually closed.

This is a bit unusual.

The milk tea shop's inventory has been completely sold out, and it is currently closed.

Normally, this time period should be the golden opportunity for other milk tea shops to make profits, so why would they choose to close?

It's like playing a game. If the enemy's best player dies, instead of using the time to develop, take the dragon, and push the tower, you go back to base to browse Taobao or wander around the Rift. What is that if not stupid?

Ye Lan could only say calmly that some people can't blame others for not making money.

You were given all the opportunities, but you didn't seize them.

Can't blame anyone.

..........

Meanwhile, on the other side, at the department store's customer service area.

Manager Wang sat shakily in his chair, listening to the accusations from the bosses in front of him. His heart felt as if it had sunk to the bottom of the sea, completely chilled.

"Manager Wang, what did you promise us before that our turnover would at least triple after we moved into the department store? It's been several days now, where is the promised triple turnover?"

"What's with the talk of triple revenue? My sales these past few days have shrunk by a full 90% compared to when I was out!"

"Everyone is in the same boat. Let alone making a profit, it's hard not to lose money."

.........

Manager Wang listened to everyone's complaints, his brows furrowing in a deep, tangled mess.

He pushed up his glasses and said, "That shouldn't be the case. Our department store's customer traffic has actually increased a lot these past few days compared to the previous period. How could you not have any customers?"

"What good are a lot of customers if they're not willing to buy from us?"

"That's right, all the customers coming and going are heading to Xueyao Chinese herbal milk tea shop, and they don't even glance at us."

"If this continues, we'll really have to terminate the contract. Nobody will make any money. You can't just keep us tied to this place, can you?"

Manager Wang sighed and assured everyone, "I will report this matter truthfully to the chairman, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer then."

Seeing this, the owners of several milk tea shops breathed a sigh of relief.

Going to work is about making money, just like pursuing a girl. If you keep giving and not getting a response, no one can keep going for long.
