In the office, after listening to shopkeeper Zhou's words, Yang Xuan couldn't help laughing.
"There's just one more competitor, so why make such a fuss."
Shopkeeper Zhou pointed to a plate of noodles on the table and said, "This is obviously a copycat of our fried noodles."
Yang Xuan just tried this noodle. Although it is an imitation of fried noodles, the sweet noodle sauce cannot be imitated. It is slightly like braised noodles.
However, the key to good braised noodles is a good soup. In order to imitate fried noodles, the other party’s noodles are mixed directly. The taste is not bad, but it is not considered fried noodles.
"Which noodle shop is this? It tastes pretty good."
"Oh, why are you not in a hurry? You are clearly working against us."
"Shopkeeper Zhou, don't panic. Who can't make noodles? This is called imitation. It shows that our fried noodles are recognized by the public. This is a good thing. Only with competition can we make progress."
"you……"
Shopkeeper Zhou was so anxious that His Royal Highness Prince Chun smiled and remained silent. However, Yang Xuan's words about competition only made progress, which made his eyes light up.
He is worthy of being called Mr. This state of mind is different.
It's a pity that his background is too shallow, otherwise he would really want to compete for that position.
At this time, shopkeeper Zhou suddenly thought of something and said: "In addition to imitating our noodles, that noodle shop also has coupons and membership cards just like ours."
"It doesn't matter, this thing doesn't have any technical content, anyone can imitate it."
Member top-ups and stuff like that are a bad thing in later generations, as long as they don't take the money and run away, Yang Xuan expected this when he came up with this plan.
"Also, their noodles only cost ten cents a bowl."
"oh?"
Yang Xuan raised his eyebrows and his expression became serious.
The decoration, service, and pricing of my noodle shop are all a ready-made sample. I have no problem with you copying it, but it would be unethical if you want to overprice it.
A price war is a vicious cycle. In the end, no one can benefit. If you are two or three cents cheaper, that's it. If you just cut it in half, it will be clear that you will fight to the death.
As soon as his eyes rolled, Yang Xuan thought of a countermeasure: "This is easy to handle. Starting tomorrow, we will offer half price for the second portion of fried noodles. All branches will do it together."
"Okay." Finally, Yang Xuan's attention was attracted. Shopkeeper Zhou breathed a sigh of relief: "But what does this second half price mean?"
"This is called promotion, which means to promote consumption, so that people who originally only wanted to eat one bowl will try their best to eat one more bowl. Although we said it is half price, in fact, we can only count it as a 25% discount."
"Gao." Shopkeeper Zhou has been doing business for many years, and he immediately understood the meaning.
"Also, find someone to report him tomorrow and see if his coupons, membership cards, etc. have been registered with the Municipal Investigation Department, and the General Education Department to see if they have paid taxes."
"Okay, okay." Shopkeeper Zhou nodded like a chicken eating rice: "Is there any more?"
"Yes, tonight I will teach you a new way to make noodles, called braised noodles."
"This is good, this is good."
The face of Prince Chun on the side was almost bursting with laughter. Yang Xuan, who had always been flawless, actually looked a little angry. This was something I had never seen before: "Sir, didn't you say that only with competition can progress be achieved? How come in the blink of an eye?
It's a promotion, it's a report, it's a new product launch, what about the calmness just now?"
"Brother Lu, have you misunderstood something?" Yang Xuan said: "My promotion is called competition, and the launch of new products is called progress. After all, we all need to improve each other, and reporting is to find out each other's background. This is called knowing yourself and the enemy and you can win a hundred battles."
, Besides, paying taxes is our obligation as citizens of Dasheng. Is there anything wrong with obeying the law?"
His Royal Highness Prince Chun was confused. It must have been his misunderstanding just now. The guy in front of him with his eyes narrowed and smiling was still the impeccable Yang Xuan.
Compared with fried noodles, making braised noodles is more convenient and closer to home cooking. In the past, when Yang Xuan was alone, he made more braised noodles.
With little effort and just one demonstration, shopkeeper Zhou mastered how to make braised noodles, and they were even more delicious than those made by Yang Xuan.
This time, the braised noodles were not promoted by the early adopter restaurant. Instead, they were directly put on the market in various extremely fresh noodle restaurants on the third day. The price was 18 cents. The braised ingredients used in the braised noodles were just like
It's the same as Hao Wei Xian, but this way of making it is obviously much more delicious than Hao Wei Xian noodles. After all, it has been gradually perfected over hundreds of thousands of years.
By the way, Hao Wei Xian is the signboard of a noodle shop that imitates fried noodles. Even the names are so similar, so it’s not just because of Wei Ji Xian.
As for the matter of checking the other party's background, His Highness King Chun took care of it.
It was also on the third day that the news was found. The other party had a lot of background and was inextricably linked to Du Yan, the Duke of Xinguo in the current dynasty.
And this Duke of Xin, Du Yan, is the younger brother of Concubine Du Guifei in the palace. He also belongs to a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. Du Yan himself serves as a minister in the Ministry of Rites. Although he is only a third-rank official, with Concubine Du Guifei's status, no one dares to
Offend him easily.
What surprised Yang Xuan was that the shopkeeper of this delicious restaurant turned out to be Fan Jian, who used to be a rogue in the noodle shop.
"I didn't expect that this rogue guy could climb onto Duke Xin's thick legs." Yang Xuan smacked his lips with some disdain.
His Royal Highness Prince Chun said with a smile: "Don't underestimate me. I checked and found out that Fan Jian's ancestor was a captain of Qingqingchao, a third-rank general."
"Hmph, don't say he is already in trouble. Even if his father is a third-grade general, I can easily crush him in business."
"He has Duke Xin behind him. What if he uses his power to suppress others?" His Royal Highness Prince Chun asked with a smile. He just wanted to see how Yang Xuan would react when he encountered something that could not be solved.
"I have Prince Hui behind me. Which one is bigger, the prince or the Duke?" Yang Xuan rolled his eyes: "If I sell some shares to Prince Hui, do you think he will protect me?"
His Highness Prince Chun nodded quickly. He did not want to add any more shareholders to this small Weijiexian restaurant group.
Nowadays, Weijixian has two major brands: noodle shop and hot pot restaurant. Although Tao Ranju has been nominally included in the Weijixian Catering Group, it is still called Taoranju on the surface. Except for Prince Hui and a few of their shareholders, there are no other brands outside.
no one knows.
Tao Ranju's fine wine has already begun to be promoted and sold in major restaurants and restaurants.
The cheapest wine uses an ordinary hip flask, but the shape is different.
It is said to be different, but in fact it is a flat pot like Jiang Xiaobai's. After all, it only holds two ounces of wine, so it looks bigger when it is flatter.
There is no need for jade liquid, after all, it is only sold in hot pot restaurants and early adopter restaurants.
And Sansheng Sanshi has not been launched on the market at all. On the one hand, it is waiting for news from Prince Hui, and on the other hand, it is waiting for the wine pot to see if shopkeeper Qian can make colored glaze.
