Honkai Impact 3rd: Join Anti-Entropy at the start and dominate the entertainment industry.

Kong Ying and her brother exchanged glances, while Bai Qianqu continued, "For a milk tea shop like this, the most important thing is attracting new customers. With technology so advanced these days, you could easily have someone create a dedicated app. Every new user who registers can receive a coupon—the first cup is only one yuan. For every new user they bring in, they can get another one-yuan coupon, and so on. One person brings in another, and your user base will grow exponentially."

Kong Ying and her brother were stunned. Neither of them expected that Bai Qianqu seemed to really want to teach them how to open a shop.

Their reasons for opening the shop were actually quite simple.

Kong hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Teacher Qu Bai, won't we lose money doing this? Our milk tea costs around two yuan to make, so one yuan would really be a loss."

Yingmei immediately glared at him and quickly said, "Whatever Teacher Bai says goes! Don't even mention selling it for one yuan, I'd even give it away for free!"

Bai Qianqu smiled and waved her hand: "Giving things away for free isn't really a good thing. Although free things are more attractive, people have generally been fooled before, and they all have this concept in their minds: you get what you pay for."

"There's a reason I priced it at one yuan. For customers, one yuan is nothing, but after paying, they'll feel more at ease enjoying the product and might even feel like they've made a profit. This way, after receiving coupons, there's a high probability they'll become repeat customers."

"As for the loss, it is true that we have lost some money on the surface, but that is only temporary. We will make back the principal and interest after a period of time."

Bai Qianqu smiled mysteriously: "These people only spent one yuan to drink milk tea on the surface, but they did bring you new users. Think about it, if you spend money on advertising and have others bring you customers, how much would you have to spend on advertising? Now, through this method, how much does it cost? Compared to that, the cost-effectiveness has improved a lot."

"Moreover, you have to download the app to use the coupons. Even if some people delete the app after using the coupons, many will still remain. These are your potential customers. As long as they come back for drinks in the future, you will start making money. You will break even as long as they drink a few drinks. In this way, you have essentially done free advertising without spending any money! Most importantly, you have left a good impression on those customers!"

"Of course, the most important thing is that your milk tea tastes really good. I believe that many people will never forget it once they have tried it! They just lack an opportunity to try it. I believe that more than half of the people who have tried it will repurchase and recommend it to their friends. They get a good deal, and you gain a lot of customers. This is what is called a win-win situation."

Bai Qianqu's eloquent speech left Kong Ying and her brother speechless.

The two exchanged a glance, both finding it somewhat absurd.

Isn't Qu Yin a composer? How come he knows so much about commercial matters?

His confident and eloquent manner made him seem like a seasoned businessperson.

Most importantly, his method seems to make a lot of sense. With simple coupons, you can attract a large number of users who are willing to promote your product or service, and even make them grateful to you.

Kong listened with great excitement and became eager to try it.

"Teacher Bai, your idea is absolutely brilliant! How about this: I'll give you half, no! Eighty percent, of the shares in this store! You can be the owner of this store, right? I believe that under your wise leadership, this store will definitely flourish!"

Bai Qianqu quickly waved her hand: "Forget it, forget it, I don't know how to run a shop, you guys do it yourselves, I was just saying it casually."

He was just casually mentioning some marketing methods from his original world; he had no intention of doing business. Despite his boastful talk, he was only talking on paper and had no experience in running a store. If he were to actually run the store, it might go out of business immediately.

Yingmei thought Bai Qianqu was being modest, so she said in a very relaxed tone, "It's okay, Teacher Bai. We just opened this shop for fun. You can run it however you like. It doesn't matter if it goes out of business."

Bai Qianqu quickly refused again and again. How could he just run a shop that someone else had paid for?

Yingmei had no choice but to give up in the end. However, she and Kong exchanged a glance and made up their minds to do it according to Bai Qianqu's method.

For no other reason than that this is Teacher Qu Yin's advice? Anything Teacher Qu Yin says is golden rule, and we must do it!

Even if the company eventually goes bankrupt and loses money, it will be due to its own reasons and will have nothing to do with Teacher Qu Yin!

But if you succeed in making money, it must be thanks to Teacher Qu Yin!

Chapter 245 [Qianzhiwu]

After finishing their milk tea, the three of them went to eat hot pot together. This hot pot restaurant was also found by Kong and Ying. It was very unique and the taste was also very good. Bai Qianqu enjoyed the meal very much.

However, Bai Qianqu paid the bill in advance after the meal. Since the other party had treated her to milk tea, she should reciprocate.

Sora and Hikari were very dissatisfied with this after learning about it.

"How can we let Teacher Bai pay?"

"Yes, we invited Teacher Bai out this time, so we should cover all the expenses!"

Helpless, Bai Qianqu could only say, "You can treat us next time."

Hearing this, Sora and Ying finally quieted down.

Kong handed Bai Qianqu a toothpick and asked with a smile, "Teacher Bai, how's the hot pot here? Is it good?"

Bai Qianqu nodded: "It tastes very good."

Sora and Ying exchanged a glance, communicating quickly with their eyes.

"Hey sis, Teacher Qu Yin likes hot pot!"

"Got it! Our next goal is to buy this hot pot restaurant!"

Buying a hot pot restaurant requires a lot of money. Although the brother and sister are struggling a bit right now, they can do it sooner or later if they are willing!

Now Yingmei has stood up and gained unprecedented fame. Her popularity is so high that it doesn't seem like that of a new singer at all. She is getting so many commercial deals that she can't keep up with them.

Many companies even lined up to approach her agent, wanting Yingmei to appear on their stages.

The company behind Anti-Entropy is now placing great importance on Yingmei, arranging high-quality gigs for her, clearly aiming to mold her into a role model for new Anti-Entropy singers. Such treatment is unmatched even by some S-level singers!

Yingmei is incredibly successful in the music industry. As she said, she opened that milk tea shop just for fun, and she didn't care whether it made money or not.

Making Teacher Qu Yin happy is more important than anything else!

What she said to those aspiring singers was really just scratching the surface.

Do you really think you can win over Teacher Quyin just by flattering her?

childish!

Yingmei has clearly realized that in order to gain Teacher Quyin's attention, besides flattery, she also needs to know how to be tactful and know when to advance and retreat.

You should offer help when Mr. Quyin needs it most, and disappear immediately when he no longer needs it, so as not to affect his private life.

In addition, her voice is also very good, which can satisfy the music teacher.

Simply and shamelessly flattering others will only make them feel disgusted and backfire.

Ying knew when to take the initiative and when to be reserved.

The ultimate way to "lick" someone's boots is to make them feel your goodwill without making them feel annoyed!

Those young singers thought they had learned the essence, but they were still far from it. Yingmei wasn't worried at all.

Kong has been working even harder to practice his singing skills recently. If he can meet the requirements of his music teacher next year, it will only be a matter of time before he becomes as famous as Yingmei.

Together, the two of them could easily buy a hot pot restaurant!

The two secretly memorized the location of the hot pot restaurant, planning to buy it next year and cook all the dishes that Teacher Qu Yin loves!

After dinner, the three of them strolled around the mall for a while, and Kong Ying and her brother planned to buy some new clothes for the Chinese New Year.

During the Spring Festival holiday, the shopping mall was packed with people. Yingmei had already put on sunglasses and a mask to cover most of her face, making sure no one could recognize her.

She chuckled and said, "Sunglasses and masks are standard accessories for celebrities. You can't be recognized when you're out and about, or you'll be surrounded and won't be able to leave."

However, Yingmei's worries were unnecessary. No one in the mall gave her a second glance; on the contrary, more people were looking at Kong Ge and Bai Qianqu.

After all, it's quite interesting to see two handsome young men suddenly appear walking together.

Yingmei followed behind the two of them, feeling somewhat dejected. She felt like she was just an extra.

Ying and Kong quickly bought their New Year's clothes. Looking at Bai Qianqu, whose hands were empty, they asked in confusion, "Isn't Teacher Bai going to buy any clothes?"

Bai Qianqu shrugged: "I have enough clothes at home, no need to buy new ones."

Upon hearing this, Yingmei immediately became unhappy.

"Teacher Bai, that won't do! It's the New Year, everyone should wear new clothes, a fresh start for the new year!"

Kong, standing next to him, nodded repeatedly, chiming in, "That's right, whether you're rich or poor, you go home for the New Year... uh, that doesn't seem right."

Yingmei was speechless at this uncultured guy. She took Bai Qianqu's hand and led her into a high-end clothing store called "Qianzhiwu".

The shop assistant at the door glanced at her, and soon her eyes fell on Yingmei's clothes.

Having received professional training, she could immediately tell that the wool coat Yingmei was wearing was the latest style from their store, with a market price of over 200,000 yuan!

Those who can afford this dress are either rich or noble!

She naturally dared not be negligent, and a bright smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Hello, what would you like to buy?"

Yingmei said naturally, "I remember your store can customize clothes, right?"

"Yes, these are custom-made clothes, all handmade, and they'll suit you perfectly." The shop assistant looked at Yingmei and said enthusiastically, already considering Yingmei a little rich girl.

“It’s not me who ordered it, it’s this gentleman.” Yingmei pushed Bai Qianqu forward. “Custom orders require the best materials.”

"Isn't it unnecessary? The clothes here seem quite expensive." Bai Qianqu said softly. Although he was rich now, he still hadn't changed his old habits. In his opinion, it was just a piece of clothing. As long as it was comfortable to wear, it was fine. Buying something so expensive was a waste of money.

The shop assistant smiled and said, "Sir, all of our clothing at Chiori-ya comes from Fontaine and is designed by Ms. Chiori, a well-known fashion designer from Inazuma. With its many elements of 'rebellion' and 'innovation' in its design philosophy, it has won the favor of the global fashion industry and has a significant influence in the global fashion world. It is normal for it to be a little more expensive."

She looked at Yingmei and continued, "The clothes your girlfriend is wearing were designed by Ms. Qianzhi. They are also the gold medal-winning piece at this year's fashion show. They suit her temperament very well. You have excellent taste."

Upon hearing this, Yingmei blushed immediately. She secretly observed Bai Qianqu and, seeing that the other party did not immediately refute her, a hint of smugness flashed in her eyes.

However, she immediately said, "Uh, we're not boyfriend and girlfriend. Teacher Bai is the person I respect the most."

"Oh, my apologies," the shop assistant apologized immediately. "I thought the two of them looked very well-matched standing together, so I just subconsciously thought so. I'm very sorry."

She had just keenly noticed the secret joy in Yingmei's eyes, and naturally knew how to speak to please her.

Chapter 246 People Light Candles

At this inopportune moment, the flight attendant spoke up, "How do you do custom-made uniforms? I'd like to get a set too!"

Yingmei immediately turned her head and stared at him fiercely. Without saying a word, her eyes already expressed her meaning.

'Ge Wen!!!'

Soon, at the insistence of the shop assistant and Yingmei, Bai Qianqu had her body measurements taken by the shop's tailor. After recording the data, the shop assistant gently took out a booklet: "Please choose your favorite clothing style. Our clothes will be made as quickly as possible, and you can pick them up in about three days."

Bai Qianqu was overwhelmed by the choices, but Yingmei made the decision for him.

However, Bai Qianqu suddenly saw a promotional slogan on the last page of the booklet.

[Senori-ya accepts custom orders for all styles of clothing, including evening gowns, wedding dresses, suits, and performance costumes.]

Upon seeing this, Bai Qianqu's eyes lit up. If she were to participate in "The Masked Singer", would she also need to have a performance outfit custom-made?

However, after looking at the price, Bai Qianqu still shuddered and silently closed the booklet.

too expensive.

This is not how money is spent.

Originally intending to leave, Yingmei started picking out clothes in the store again, holding one in her left hand and one in her right, gesturing back and forth.

It was obvious that the clothes she had just bought did not satisfy Yingmei.

When they finally left the mall, the flight attendant was carrying a lot of shopping bags, while Bai Qianqu and Yingmei walked ahead empty-handed, chatting and laughing.
