Chapter 321 Profit
Seeing that something was wrong, Hu Weihao immediately widened his eyes and stared fiercely at the other employees in the room, his gaze as sharp as a knife.
The other employees dared not challenge Hu Weihao's authority, and half of them immediately lowered their hands.
Including Lin Xueyao and Xu Zhiqiang, only six people supported Ye Lan.
This scene infuriated Lin Xueyao, who said coquettishly, "That's not fair! How can you go back on your word?"
Hu Weihao laughed smugly, "What's unfair about it? A vote by raising hands should be based on the principle of voluntariness."
After saying that, he looked at Ye Lan again, "Now I have 13 votes and you only have 6 votes, double the support rate, are you still not going to admit defeat?"
"Let's calculate the profits." Ye Lan shrugged indifferently, her face still bearing a contemptuous smile.
"What's there to calculate? My milk tea costs 25 yuan a cup, so for 13 people it's 325 yuan. Your milk tea costs 50 yuan a cup, so for 6 people it's 300 yuan. I still earn more than you."
Hu Weihao answered without hesitation.
But after he said that, everyone looked at him with surprise.
Ye Lan was even more incredulous after hearing this, "How did you even get into the finance graduate program?"
"Even elementary school students know that the profit formula is revenue minus cost, how come you don't know that?"
Ye Lan picked up a marker and wrote on the whiteboard, "So your profit is 130, and my profit is 210!"
"It's obvious who is stronger and who is weaker."
At this moment, Hu Weihao could no longer remain calm, staring at Ye Lan with wide eyes and terror in his gaze.
He never expected that Ye Lan, a game streamer with only a high school education, would have such keen insight into the financial market.
He's a born businessman.
Li Changqing felt enlightened and hurriedly stood up from his chair. "Brother Ye, did you do market research on milk tea before?"
Ye Lan looked at him in confusion, "Does this thing really need market research? My sister and my girlfriend drink two cups of milk tea every day, and they've tried every product from the milk tea shops near our house."
"But ultimately, our product is not milk tea, but medicinal cuisine. It has health benefits and can't be judged by the standards of milk tea."
Upon hearing Ye Lan's words, everyone was taken aback at first, but then suddenly realized what she meant.
It turns out they were heading in the wrong direction from the start.
All of Li Changqing's drinks are made from Chinese herbal medicines. In addition to their excellent taste and lack of bitterness, they are also highly effective in treating diseases.
Nourishing Yin and Yang, strengthening the body, consolidating the kidneys and replenishing essence, calming the mind and beautifying the complexion...
With these added values, it naturally cannot be treated as ordinary milk tea.
A bottle of water may only be worth 2 yuan, but a bottle of water that can restore your virility, even if it costs 200 yuan, will still make people willingly pay for it.
This is the profit brought about by added value.
Therefore, their products should not be positioned as milk tea, but as health supplements that are beneficial to health!
Whether rich or poor, people are particularly concerned about their health, which is the main reason why those health products that sound unreliable can still sell so well.
No one would joke about their own health.
Especially those patients suffering from serious illnesses, even if they know that their illness is incurable, will buy all kinds of folk remedies to try their luck.
Humans are such contradictory beings. When they are alive, they feel too tired and want to die, but when death comes, they will try every means to live on.
Li Changqing's products are different. He had already asked professional medical personnel to help test the ingredients, and these medicinal diets can indeed bring many benefits to people's health.
At the time, medical professors were willing to spend a fortune to buy the formula.
However, Li Changqing flatly refused and immediately applied for intellectual property rights.
That's how the idea of opening a shop using the recipe came about.
Ye Lan successfully won everyone's respect and applause with her unique understanding of market finance. Li Changqing even appointed her as the vice chairman, giving her the same rights as the chairman.
This is also why Ye Lan is so high-profile. If you want to lead this group of good-for-nothings out of the encirclement, you must have a decisive position and power.
Li Changqing is the company's chairman; this position is definitely within his reach.
In that case, all they can do is dream about Hu Weihao's position as vice chairman.
Fortunately, Hu Weihao was a lung cancer patient; otherwise, Ye Lan wouldn't have been confident in achieving such a significant leap in status in such a short time.
Like any new broom sweeping clean, Ye Lan immediately launched into a long speech outlining her plans and strategies for the next few days.
As follows:
The first step is to integrate the scattered departments.
Groups of three are divided into group leaders and employees based on their abilities, and adjustments and expansions can be made later as appropriate.
The second part is a month-long promotional campaign.
The best way to attract customers when a new store opens is through discounts. However, their products are already expensive, and even after the discount, they are still priced like regular milk tea. In addition, it is a brand that no one has ever heard of before, so relying solely on discounts obviously cannot attract a lot of customers.
Therefore, Plan B must be activated simultaneously.
Leveraging Ye Lan's influence in the King of Glory community, discounts are offered based on the King of Glory rank.
Star Glory 10% off, King 20% off, Glory King 30% off, 100 Star King 40% off, Top 10,000 Rank 50% off, Top 100 Rank 40% off, Top 10 Rank 10 Free.
Honor of Kings is currently the most popular mobile game, and it's practically a must-have for middle-aged and young people, who are also the main consumers of milk tea.
Most players remain at the Star Master and King ranks.
The medicinal cuisine, which originally cost 50 yuan a cup, is now 50% off for the new store opening, and with additional discounts based on the customer's level, it's only a little over 20 yuan.
Compared to regular milk tea, it already has a slight price advantage; if you take into account its medicinal properties, then the advantage becomes significant.
We'll hire a few extras to liven things up on the day of opening, and I estimate the store will sell out on the first day.
Ye Lan finished explaining her entire plan in one breath, feeling her throat burning with dryness. She drank the glass of cold water in one gulp, and only then did she feel a little better.
Only then did he notice that the people around him were looking at him like he was a monster.
"Why is everyone staring at me? Did I not express myself clearly enough, or is there a problem?"
"Let's bring it up and discuss it."
Ye Lan put down her empty water glass and addressed the group.
"No, it's mainly because we've never heard of such a detailed future plan before. It's simply amazing." Even Hu Weihao had to admit that Ye Lan was quite capable.
"Ah! Didn't you guys discuss this in your meetings before?"
Ye Lan was surprised. Wasn't this something that should be planned in advance when a new company starts up?
Everyone shook their heads.
"So what do you talk about in your meetings?" Ye Lan asked curiously.
The crowd remained silent, only staring intently at Li Changqing.
The latter could only tell the truth: "We spent most of our meeting time indulging in fantasies about the wonderful future after the IPO."
Ye Lan said calmly, "So it's what's commonly known as a daydream?"
“That’s right.” Li Changqing nodded awkwardly.
