Chapter 117: Being Rejected
"Master Niu, thank you." Looking at Master Niu’s sincere face, Tong Yao smiled and said, "I really have something urgent at the moment and can’t manage the stall, so after a while, I’ll order even more milk than now."
Everyone knows how refreshing it is to drink cold beverages on a hot day. Once the refrigerator is purchased, the business will be steady. Then not only the students will buy milk tea, but the surrounding residents will also come.
"Good, good." Master Niu happily nodded in agreement, and then delivered He Fang’s portion of fresh milk.
"Sis, why did you stop ordering fresh milk at noon?" Si Xiaohui had just heard Tong Yao’s words and was almost jumping up from excitement, but held it in until Master Niu left before asking.
"You don’t understand, do you?" Tong Yao lowered her voice and quietly said, "In order to snatch business, He Fang will lower the price. If she orders too much fresh milk, she definitely won’t be able to sell it all. It’s better to sell what we have on hand and pack up early to go home."
"Are you giving up on the milk tea business?" Si Xiaohui was anxious. "Sis, if you are worried that we won’t be able to compete with He Fang, we can also lower the price. After all, we can’t just admit defeat like this! You started the milk tea business first, why should you give it to He Fang!"
Profit from selling milk tea within a day could be around sixty to seventy. Even if they dropped the price by half, making twenty to thirty dollars would not be little. This kind of profitable business is hard to come by!
"Who said I was going to give it up?" Tong Yao smiled confidently, "I have a plan. Just wait and see, He Fang won’t be able to take over the milk tea business."
Tong Yao knew something about He Fang’s character. It was a bit harsh to call her a cunning merchant, but it was indeed true that she was reluctant to invest a lot of capital in her business.
Originally when Tong Yao was selling milk tea, He Fang suggested using less fresh milk to save on cost. Tong Yao didn’t agree. Now that He Fang is the boss herself, she would definitely decrease the amount of fresh milk used and naturally the taste of the milk tea would be worse.
