Chapter 1,447 Dominating the List(2/2)
In the United States, California and Kentucky suddenly found themselves in a situation where their reputations collapsed due to issues with their pricing standards and comparisons made consciously or unconsciously by ordinary people.
No matter how they explain it, external doubts about the exorbitant prices are always consuming their reputation.
The turnover of the two restaurants has gradually begun to be adversely affected, and more and more people believe that eating their meals is an act of "people are stupid and have too much money".
In mid-February, the California Beef Noodle King in the United States saw its sales drop to half. It couldn't bear it anymore and decided to lower the price by one yuan to five yuan a bowl.
As for Wang Dadong of Kentucky, although the loss of customers is relatively slow and he still has the strength to resist, the pressure he is under is not that great.
Because now it is no longer the headquarters in the United States that is questioning his ability, but even the partner he found in the Republic, the Municipal Animal Husbandry Bureau, is also putting pressure on him.
"Mr. Wang, we can't just consider profit, but also consider social impact. If you lower the price appropriately now, what does it matter?"
"But my pricing is very reasonable. Many products need to be imported. You don't know that. My costs are so high, so where is the room for price reduction?"
"Oh, don't say that. Think again. Some things can be reduced. Do you also have to import salt and potatoes?"
"Is there anything strange about this? Domestic salt is too coarse, and when mixed with seasoning powder, it will cause uneven thickness. Domestic potatoes also have insufficient starch content and do not meet Kentucky standards, so they can only be transported by air."
"I know, but ordinary people don't know. They will only compare the price of your fried chicken with the price of gingerbread men. I have to remind you that this place is not as good as yours in the United States. Some things cannot be entirely up to your own will. If you don't have any
If you say so, I won’t be able to speak for you from the Price Bureau..."
"What? I said, Lao He, are you threatening me? Are you mistaken? We are the cooperative unit. You should let the Price Bureau investigate the gingerbread man. And we agreed at the beginning that your Animal Husbandry Bureau
They will not interfere with my management."
"Mr. Wang, you misunderstood. How can I threaten or interfere? It's just a kind reminder. Of course I hope your store will get better and better. Only if you do well will we get dividends. But to be honest, in this case
In this matter, our position is also very difficult. Because you use our chicken, the gingerbread man also uses it, and their quantity is twice as much as yours..."
After finally putting down the phone call, Wang Dadong was already gasping for breath, feeling a little like he was about to suffer from coronary heart disease.
He really didn't expect that in just a short time, the gingerbread man would already force him to lower the price.
And even his partners are unwilling to stand up for him.
So, looking at the newspaper on his desk and the photo of Shen Cun smiling proudly, Wang Dadong couldn't help but feel angry.
In just a few seconds, I tore up the newspaper that contained an exclusive interview with the gingerbread man, as if it would help me breathe a sigh of relief.
But even so, some things are still difficult to change.
"Chairman, there is a customer who wants to hold a wedding on Sunday on the third floor of our place. There will be about sixty guests, but...but..." The store manager came up from downstairs.
"This is a good thing, but what..."
"He has a special condition?"
"Say, the guest is God. As long as it can satisfy us, we will try our best to satisfy them."
"He said we had too few food choices and asked if...could we buy some more meals and drinks from the Gingerbread Man and then have a feast with our fried chicken..."
