Far away in Moscow

Chapter 92

"Oh?" Hu Yi felt a little uneasy, and kept a smile on his face calmly: "Selling boxed lunches and dumplings, is this going to take away the business of both of us and the old house?"

Li Baoqing muttered unhappily: "That's right, it's clearly aimed at us."

"Oh, it's too self-indulgent. Isn't the Chinese fast food here just the same? Brother Six is ​​doing takeout to make money, how can he have the leisure to target you? Even if it is targeted, it is just a matter of hugging grass and beating rabbits. Son." Wang Shen squinted at the two of them: "Sixth Brother has worked in restaurants for several years, and the business has always been quite deserted. This time, he has spent a lot of thought on the takeaway, and he is determined to come up with something famous. You know What did your friends over there say?"

"How to say?"

"With Sixth Brother's strength, he can do what others can do; he can do what others can't. In a word, he can do whatever he wants. Great takeaway market.”

"Hey, the tone is not small, it's awesome." Hu Yi smiled and frowned.

"Bullshit!" Li Baoqing spat resentfully, although he still had an unconvinced expression, but his tone was softer than before.

The reaction of the two was completely expected by Wang Shen. He stretched out his hand and stroked the hair on his forehead proudly: "How is it? Do I still have some cooperation value?"

"It's a little bit." Hu Yi chuckled: "Then tell me, how do we cooperate? How much should we pay you?"

"The way of cooperation can be discussed later. Let's see if you can hold on. As for the money...you two can figure it out at that time." Wang Shen stood up shaking his head: "I'll tell you another news: Sixth Brother There are two kinds of boxed lunches: the one with meat and one vegetarian is priced at 80 rubles as you, and the one with two meat and two vegetables is priced at 100 rubles. However, the price was reduced at the beginning of the opening, and the price of one meat and one vegetarian is only 60, and the price of two meat and two vegetables is 80. "

"Really?" Hu Yi blurted out, Wang Shen's words just made him feel a little worried, and he could still pretend to be calm, but the price matter surprised him a lot.

Hu Yi was a little flustered, and hurriedly asked: "How long will it take for them to start the business?"

"Oh, then I don't know." Wang Shen shrugged his shoulders and looked at Hu Yi meaningfully: "Do you two have to find a way to deal with it? Otherwise, they will be paid for three and a half years in one go , it’s getting cold over here.”

"Well." Hu Yi replied absent-mindedly: "You go back first, I will think about the cooperation and think of a way that is beneficial to everyone."

After Wang Shen left, Hu Yi and Li Baoqing looked at each other silently, feeling that something was wrong.After a while, Li Baoqing said, "Are you really planning to work with this kid? Can you trust him?"

"Believe it for now, but even if we work together, we have to be careful, and he must not be involved in cooking in the kitchen." Hu Yi pulled a chair and sat down: "The most urgent problem right now is Brother Six. There are only so many Chinese in the dormitory of Youda University, the market is too small, and there is not much business to do. Now that he has stepped in, it is enough for the two of us to drink a pot."

Li Baoqing also felt a little bit of pressure, but he was still much more optimistic than Hu Yi: "The cooks at Sixth Brother's place are average, I dare not say anything else, I think their box lunches are definitely not as popular as ours."

"Well, this aspect is our advantage." Hu Yi analyzed worriedly: "But the sixth brother is backed by the restaurant, and his strength is too strong to deal with. Especially when they plan to launch a price offensive as soon as they come up, our box lunch will definitely will be impacted."

"That's right, the price issue is difficult to deal with." Li Baoqing gently scratched the scar on his face: "What does he mean by making two kinds of lunch boxes?"

"The restaurant has this convenience, so you can do whatever you want. It's a bit of a struggle for us to prepare two meat and two vegetables every day, so we will be different from us." Hu Yi was in a trance for a while, and suddenly sneered Said: "They lowered one meat and one vegetable with the same specifications as ours by [-] rubles, and then lowered the two meats and two vegetables of a higher grade to the same price as ours. Hehe, it's a bit like Tian Ji's horse racing."

"What do you mean?" Li Baoqing was confused, but when he saw Hu Yi's smile, he also smirked and said, "How about...shall we lower the price too? We'll waste it with them!"

Hu Yi thought for a while, then shook his head firmly: "That's not good, it's too passive to let people lead you by the nose. And it's easy for us to actively lower the price now, but if we want to restore the original price in the future, customers may not be willing to buy it. "

"Then... what do you think we should do? Are you just being so stubborn?"

"I'll think about a way. After all, they have a lot of people there, and it costs money to employ people. As long as we can withstand it for a while, their preferential prices shouldn't last long." Hu Yi didn't know if his guess was tenable. But he still pretended to be confident and said to Li Baoqing: "Those who are willing to spend money to order takeaway will not care too much about the price. After all, the taste is the first. So we have to improve the dishes as soon as possible. You should be more active." brain."

"Okay! Just leave the food to me." Li Baoqing was gearing up, and was about to get up to prepare dinner, when he suddenly turned around and said, "What about Wang Shen? Why do you really want him to come with us? Why are you talking to him?" What about the money?"

Hu Yi poured the rice into the rice cooker, squatted on the ground and pondered for a while: "Don't worry, I'll think about it again, and it won't be too late when I really need help."

The next semester started soon, Han Shangyun returned to Moscow from China, Hu Yi and Li Baoqing's box lunches resumed and were only served at dinner time.The two of them have been paying attention to the movements of Sixth Brother these days. If they have nothing to do, they will go to Wang Shen to inquire and talk about possible cooperation methods by the way, but they can't discuss anything for a long time.

A few days later, the Chinese students who went home for the Chinese New Year returned to school one after another, and Liu Ge's takeaway finally opened on an auspicious day.

Sixth brother’s move was really extraordinary. Not only were the notices of “Opening Remuneration” written on red paper with a brush written on red paper and exquisite advertisements printed in full color posted downstairs in each dormitory, but there were also special personnel guarding the entrances of each building when classes were over in the afternoon. Leaflets were distributed to the Chinese who came and went, and soon the news of Liu Ge's takeaway spread throughout the entire Youda Chinese circle.

Faced with such a strong competitor and price offensive, Hu Yi and Li Baoqing were hit beyond their own imagination.

As soon as Sixth Brother's opened, the sales of their box lunches began to decline precipitously. In the first three days, they sold a total of more than ten copies.Although it gradually started to pick up in the next few days, the daily sales were only hovering around ten copies, which made the two of them look gloomy and gloomy.

"We have tasted Brother Six's box lunch a few times. The taste is obviously not as good as ours, but the sales are worse than ours! This old fox wants to knock us down with a low price! It's too treacherous!" Back to the dormitory after class, Li Baoqing Walking back and forth in front of Hu Yi angrily: "Old Hu, you should quickly think of a way! If you continue like this, you will have to drink the northwest wind! I don't think we will lose face, so hurry up and lower the price together!"
