Chapter 95 . Can it be successful
"Is your apple not of good quality?" Bai Wei asked.
"No, my juiced apples are all top-notch," Xiong Siwen said and blushed, "The sweetness and acidity, the moisture, and the taste are all first-class, and those people in the restaurant tasted the juice made from my apples, and they all said it was good." And my apples are very cheap, more than half the price of regular apples on the market. ”
"The quality is good, the price is cheap, so what is it that can't be sold?" Bai Wei asked.
"They say that in the catering industry, there is no such thing as freshly squeezed juice at all." Xiong Siwen said, "When it is expensive, a pound of apples costs five or six yuan, and it costs more than one apple to squeeze a glass of juice, which is six or seven yuan." With real apples, the cost is too high. ”
"But they sell a glass of juice for twenty or thirty dollars." Bai Wei said, "The juicer is not easy to break, and if it costs six or seven yuan, it will have three or four times the profit, right?" ”
"There is also labor costs, the better the restaurant, the more waiters are not enough, do you want to find someone to squeeze the juice? It's impossible. Xiong Siwen said, "Besides, the retail price of finished juice is only three or four yuan a box, if you use a large box to wholesale, it is cheaper, who will have money not to make money and have to ask for trouble." ”
"But they clearly say it's freshly squeezed juice, isn't that deceiving consumers?" Bai Wei pretended not to understand.
"They are all used to it, consumers don't know the way, they only hate me and don't know the way, and now they have dozens of acres of apple trees planted at home for juice extraction, and they don't know what to do." "There are very few restaurants that are willing to buy my apples and make them into juice. ”
"Oh? There are still such conscientious restaurants, which ones are they? Bai Wei pretended to be very interested and asked.
Xiong Siwen finally said the final sentence of the game: "Most of them are small restaurants, and you may not know what to say about it." But there is one that is more well-known, which is Shih Tzu Bun Shop, and since the time the store opened, they have been purchasing my apples and making real freshly squeezed juices. It's a pity that the cost is too high to make any money, and I heard that it doesn't sell well. ”
"Really? In fact, our undercover reporter also went to the Shih Tzu Bun Shop, so whether the Shih Tzu Bun Shop is as the fruit farmer said, using real freshly squeezed juice, please see the clip of the unannounced visit. Bai Wei said with a smile.
The restaurants in front of me are all picked up when the most people go during the unannounced visit, and the camera is dangling with the flow of people, as well as the tables and chairs, children's hands and feet, leather bags, clothes, and countless other things are full of the camera, and I feel very messy when I look at it. However, the undercover footage of the Xishi bun shop is extremely stable, looking clean, bright and orderly, and it immediately compares those famous restaurants.
Because it wasn't an unannounced visit with a small lens at all, it was shot with a professional camera. In addition, the lighting was also done, and the cutting angle and travel route were all designed, which was simply taken as an advertisement.
"Do you have freshly squeezed juice here?" The undercover reporter asked, "Why is it not on the wall, but on the menu?" ”
"Yes, ten dollars a cup. The cost of freshly squeezed juice is too high to make money, so it is not printed on the wall" Xiao Lei personally appeared to receive her, this executive chef wore the work clothes of ordinary employees, plus the professional makeup of the TV station, clean and generous beauties, purer than most movie stars.
"Is it so cheap?" The undercover reporter asked, "Is it really fresh?" ”
"Freshly squeezed, of course." Xiao Lei said, "You can watch me juice." She went back to the counter, took out a juicer, put a few small, yellow apples in it, and after a rumbling for a while, poured out a glass of juice and handed it to the undercover reporter.
The undercover reporter took a sip and was amazed: "What a rich apple flavor!" What's going on, it's completely different from the freshly squeezed juice I've drunk before. ”
"Is it different? Freshly squeezed apple juice tastes like this. Xiao Lei said.
"It's different, it's completely different." The undercover reporter continued to sigh, "The fruity flavor is like a concentrated fruit juice, of course, it is not so sour, and it is not so sweet, but the apple flavor is very strong." ”
"Maybe it's because we use different kinds of apples." Xiao Lei explained, "This is specially used for juicing. ”
At this time, another guest called, Xiao Lei said sorry and left. The so-called three minutes on stage, ten years off the stage. Xiao Lei had no stage experience before, and for this short performance of a few minutes, she practiced for two days plus more than a dozen NG reshoots, and finally she had to edit the montage and use all the techniques to make this secret visit. If you look closely, you can still see Xiao Lei's sleeves sometimes rolled up, and the next shot is put down.
As for freshly squeezed juice, in fact, the Shih Tzu bun shop has never sold it at all, except for white porridge, it is free boiled water, and even Coke has to go to the small supermarket next door to buy everything (because it was opened by Huang Wenbin). In order to match this round of hype, it was temporarily added to the menu.
The camera switches back to the studio, and Bai Wei concludes: "Fake freshly squeezed juice is popular, but real freshly squeezed juice can't make money, so you can only stay in the least obscure corner of the menu, and the road to food safety is really a long way to go." What will the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the Food and Drug Administration and the quality supervision department do? We'll continue to report for you tomorrow. ”
"yes, what will you do?" Lu Zhilan asked after reading the news.
"It must be pushing each other." Huang Wenbin said, "Those restaurants have formal business licenses, so the industrial and commercial bureau will not take care of them." Boxed juices have certificates, and the Food and Drug Administration will not care. If the product is qualified, the quality supervision department will not care. You can only go to the Consumer Council to sue the restaurant to fool the consumer, but the Consumer Council, you also know what the situation is. ”
"Hey, I haven't even been on TV, didn't I say it would be for me." Lu Zhilan was very unhappy, lying in Huang Wenbin's arms and coquettish.
In Huang Wenbin's original plan, Xiong Siwen, the character who provided inside information, was Lu Zhilan's. Of course, it's not a fruit farmer, but a former business owner who has opened a restaurant to sell freshly squeezed juice. "That is lest you be in danger." Huang Wenbin hurriedly pushed her away, "What if someone retaliates against someone for smashing people's jobs." ”
As for Xiong Siwen, just like that, ten or eight men don't dare to get close. And he is really a farmer, and he is also the president of the apple cooperative, who dares to go to the countryside to find trouble easily, and it is not once or twice that the thieves and robbers in the countryside have been killed by the peasants.
"What's next?" Lu Zhilan asked.
"Wait for the news tracking to finish." Huang Wenbin said, "I spent a lot of money." After the broadcast, no one wants the freshly squeezed juice in those restaurants, and the restaurant owner and manager will definitely look around for someone to refute the rumors or something. There will also be many people who will contact Miss Ding, and Miss Ding will recommend the yellow apples out of the company, and then our company can officially start business and send them small yellow apples. ”
"We've smashed their jobs, will it go so well?" Lu Zhilan didn't have much confidence, "What if someone else really retaliates?" ”
If it were someone else, maybe it would be all kinds of revenge. But Ding Shishi, I'm really not afraid of this. Her father Ding Liugen is a big foreign trader, and foreign trade is a treasure and financial source for the municipal government's achievements, who dares to mess around? Otherwise, why would Huang Wenbin give such a big advertisement to Xi Shi Bun Shop.
Having said that, Huang Wenbin is still very apprehensive, the freshly squeezed juices sold in restaurants in the city are fake, which comes from the news of his previous life. The little yellow apple juice is delicious, which is a discovery of his parents. Combining the two, he is not sure whether he can sell Xiao Huangguang Apple out of the box and make a lot of money.
Now everything that can be done has been done, and it depends on whether those restaurant owners can get on the road. In case the owner of the restaurant insists on not changing, Huang Wenbin has nothing to do. I can only go to Taobao to order a batch of juicers, and then carry out the activity of buying 'juicers and giving apples' in the city.
Besides, if any restaurant owner likes to play Sherlock Holmes and find out Huang Wenbin, it will be dangerous. Although Huang Wenbin did not come forward from beginning to end, the advertising fee for the TV station came from his private account, which can be checked, if the restaurant owner has an insider in the TV station and an acquaintance in the bank.
After worrying for a full day, and finally the dust settled, Ding Shishi called him and asked him to go to dinner in the evening, and it was no one else who invited him to eat, it was the secretary general of the city's catering association - the president and vice president of the catering association, which were all idle positions reserved for retired officials to get subsidies, and it was the secretary general who really worked.
When I arrived at the hotel, the secretary general had not yet come, and Ding Shishi was the only one in the room.
"Husband, why are you here alone? What about Lu Zhilan? Ding Shishi asked.
"Her sister is here to pick up the train." Huang Wenbin gets goosebumps every time he hears her call 'husband', "Can you change your name?" ”
"I like to call you husband, and I don't have any opinions." Ding Shishi said very arrogantly.
"What if someone else hears it." Huang Wenbin was afraid of revealing the secret.
"Who will listen at this time, Longteng Fish Village is the most secret private club, if you don't hear the call of the guests, there will definitely be no waiter who will come." Ding Shishi didn't care at all, "The secretary general didn't come so soon, and he would call me first when he came." How many big businesses are discussed here, and there are no rules. ”
"I've never been to such a high-class place before." Huang Wenbin said.
"You have to come more in the future, I will be your guarantor, apply for a membership." Ding Shishi said, "It's very convenient to talk about business here, the things are delicious and private, and there will be no messy people to disturb you." And the room can be used all night, and you can make out after talking about business. ”
As he spoke, he came over and kissed him, and put his tongue into Huang Wenbin's mouth and wrapped it tightly around Huang Wenbin's tongue. His hands were not idle, he unbuttoned Huang Wenbin's clothes and groped around his chest. "Hey, for men, who is better between me and Lu Zhilan?"
