Please make money.

Why!!

Why (TM) is there a (TM) milk tea shop inside the counter of a supermarket!

A place like a nook and cranny!

There’s a queue that’s 30 meters long as soon as the store opens in the morning!

I reported in on the sixth day of the New Year and spent the whole day moving raw materials, saying it was for stocking up.

It's so funny. The milk tea shop next door sells 500 cups a day. It's an Internet celebrity shop, but they can't use up this amount of raw materials in ten days.

When I first followed Zhizhi - cross out this paragraph - when I first went with her to look for a milk tea shop, I knew how complicated the situation was.

If you can sell 2,000 cups, you will be considered the best among all the other players.

But the raw materials you stock are intended for at least 5,000 cups a day.

Even if the customer is an African elephant, he can't drink 5,000 cups of milk tea in a day!

I originally thought so, but when I came to clock in on the seventh day of the New Year, I encountered a sudden drop in orders.

...I'm sorry I spoke too loudly yesterday.

But aren’t you exaggerating too much?

According to this, I should die from overwork on the eighth day of the New Year, right?

Even if the overtime pay is five times, I...I will...

The intern took a deep breath, and the five times overtime pay and performance bonus points wiped away those unnecessary thoughts.

Go away! Although I'm an intern, I still get 1% commission based on my sales!

Dear African elephant guest, please drink more. If it’s not enough, there are still three more. After you finish this cup, there are still three more!

Forcing a smile, the intern ran to the counter next door and called out "jiejie" sweetly.

"Sister, we're out of printing paper for the order machine over there. Do you have any more? Lend me some!"

The older sister looked at the little cutie with pity and took out a cardboard box: "Here, take them all."

The intern had a smile on her face, but she couldn't help feeling a little suspicious inside.

How come you are so skilled?

What are you selling? Let me see... New Year gift packages...

But you don’t have any goods. The counter is empty and all the boxes are gone.

Oh no, could it be that I have encountered the legendary person with connections, a seasoned clerk, or a troublemaker who draws a salary without doing anything?

The intern girl, who kept looking back every three steps, hadn't figured out what was going on when she vaguely saw that there seemed to be stock.

The reason why I said I was in a trance was because my eldest sister's colleague came over with a small cart and put a batch of New Year gift boxes on the shelves.

But she subconsciously turned her head away, and when she came to her senses and looked back, it was gone.

The customers around them left with satisfaction, like martial arts masters, holding the 2023 gift bag in their hands.

You can vaguely see the nine-section dried shrimps exposed through the window...

My heart, which had skipped a beat just now, suddenly calmed down.

Oh, I understand.

It turns out that it wasn’t just my counter that was swept away by the goods; everyone had the same experience.

That's fine! Work hard!

The intern regained her enthusiasm and returned to the milk tea counter holding the note.

Ten minutes later, she came trotting back with a look of despair on her face.

"Well, sister, our machine is burned out, can your machine——"

"Poor kid. Here, use the spare machine first. Eat this."

"what is this?"

"This is chocolate with ginsenoside added. It's the kind sold in our supermarket. You probably won't have time to eat when you get busy later. So hold on for a while."

"???"

……

……

Sunika looked at the counter in front of her and felt a subtle sense of dislocation.

Were we inside a supermarket, not some milk tea shop outside that hired actors to queue up?

No, I just want to buy four cups of lemonade, four dollars a cup, so a total of 16 yuan. It will be quick, please make way!

But the line was really long, and at the end there was even a clerk holding a sign saying: "The line ends here!"

The sign on the other hand is an advertisement for some joint activity.

Sunika then realized that there was an event - Oh no! I am an employee of the advertising and marketing department and I didn't know about it!

Let me see what kind of activity this is…send vouchers…send commemorative items…send loss-making vouchers…

Sunika didn't even need to count on her fingers. She just took a look at it, and then glanced at the probability noted below, and her heart sank.

It's over! There's a traitor in the group!

The young lady was deceived by the villain and actually did such an activity!

No, no, no, there is another possibility, the eldest lady is also unaware of it.

The eldest lady definitely does not want the group to suffer such losses. It is the privileged group around her who are rewarding her for concealing her activities and concealing the true probability!

...But what if the young lady is really capable of doing such a thing?

Sunika took out her cell phone and wanted to contact her colleagues, but then she sadly discovered that she was on vacation.

Why do you work when you are on vacation? You can't log into the work group chat on that day when you are on vacation, so you are not eligible to participate in this meeting!

What, you want to secretly be a shill and cheat the group out of overtime pay?

She could only message her colleagues while waiting in line, asking what was going on.

"No problem, that's the probability, 5% guaranteed."

"You're crazy! A 100-50 voucher with a 5% chance of winning, and it's also valid for all items in the store? You can win for just 15 yuan!"

"We originally said it was not possible, or that we should make it truly random, but the young lady confirmed that it was fine as it is."

What is true randomness? Let’s take the simplest example:

For example, a doctor says that the success rate of performing surgery on you is 10%.

But don't worry, I've already cured nine of them! You're the tenth, you're safe!

This is true randomness - your 10% success and the other nine deaths are not related!

We are not all in the same pool, it’s 10% every time, there is no guarantee, run away! Help!

But this lottery is not like that. The minimum guarantee is calculated based on the big account. It means that even if you draw 20 times, you will definitely get the minimum.

This approach, often used in games, is called pseudo-randomness.

It means that the developer cares about you and wants to give you a good experience. They say it depends on luck, but in fact there is a big guarantee.

For example, if you use Infinity War, theoretically there is a 20% random chance of triggering a critical hit.

But if it's really random, then if you're unlucky, you might chop ten times, but miss one out of five times.

How can I play it if I can't? Uninstall!

The game developer gave it a stacking effect, with the first critical hit rate being 5.6%, the second being 11.2%, and the third being 16.8%...

By analogy, if you are really unlucky, then after a certain number of times, you will definitely trigger a critical hit.

In the end, the average is still 20%, but the experience is very good.

So in Blizzard, there used to be an interesting little trick for playing the game.

If your critical hit rate is 35%, but you use normal attacks on minions twice, then save the third attack to go directly at the hero unit.

Because that is a 100.8% superposition probability - who can stop this knife? No one can stop it!

In other words, if Sunika has a good appetite today, she can buy 20 cups of milk tea for 15 yuan each, which would cost 300 yuan in total.

Then she will absolutely, surely, 100% be able to win prizes including loss-making coupons and 50- no-threshold vouchers.

For users with urgent needs, this is already worth the money.

The rest of the props, such as the milk tea itself, are given away for free.

If I'm luckier, I might be able to ship two products at the beginning.

Any game player who knows elementary arithmetic, or believes that Alia is a person who will not cheat on probability, would probably be queuing up by now.

...Wait, so this is why so many people are lining up?

Sunika looked at the crowd. Most of them were young people, and there was a cold light in their eyes.

Obviously, for them the drinks are secondary and the gifts are the main thing.

"If there is any restriction, it is that these two 'big prizes' are unique to big accounts and cannot be obtained repeatedly."

Sunika was slightly relieved: "I was so scared, I thought the group was going to lose a lot of money, I hope the loss is smaller..."

There were a lot of people queuing up, but it seemed that they had been prepared in advance, so the speed of making milk tea was not slow.

When it was Sunika's turn, she recognized her at a glance - wasn't this the girl she wanted to nibble on every day?

The other person was confused and took several seconds to recognize her: "Hey, Sister Su! Are you here to get some money too?"

"Ah... ah?"

"No, no, I mean, what do you drink?"

"...Four cups of milk tea for 15 yuan, four cups."

"We don't have a single cup for 15 yuan. The most expensive one here is 10 yuan, and the cheapest is 4 yuan."

"Then I'll have four cups of ten dollars each, and four cups of five dollars each, to get four peripheral cards!"

"Okay, one plus one for the joint package, four servings..."

The intern was so skilled that it made people feel distressed. It only took her two minutes to hand over four bags.

"Please enjoy your drink. Here are four random souvenir cards."

The four cards were still in plastic bags and looked shiny.

Feeling guilty about fleecing her own group, Sunika quickly took the three little ones, found a corner to hide, and started the lottery.

"One for each of you. I'll log into your accounts one by one later to see who has the best luck."

Sunika said this and told the three little ones very seriously that she was not taking advantage of the group but was supporting the group's activities.

"It's mainly because you guys want to drink, really."

"We didn't say we drank so much..."

In the small bag in my hand, there are two large one-plus-one drinks. I can drink enough water to get full with this stuff.

Still making money - how to make money?

Sunika didn't care about the details and looked at the card first.

The peripheral linkage commemorations are naturally related to the Wandering Blue Planet.

Among the four cards, one is a super heavy transport vehicle, one is an octopus rescue vehicle, one is a planetary engine, and one is a MOSS camera.

Well made, it also comes with a reminder for NFC card swiping.

But, how many mobile phones on the market support NFC?

Don’t forget the current era context, only Ai Group’s own mobile phones have all the functions stuffed into them.

A 700 yuan phone with IP68 waterproofing, so sad, how do they make money...

If the quantity is small, it is indeed not profitable.

However, if the life cycle shipment volume is 100 million units, then Alia can actually get a profit of more than billion.
