Chapter 547: Chapter 545 Luxury Spicy Strips [Second Update]Liang Lan was calculating in her heart.

    The current spicy strip market is in an extremely empty state.

    And with something like spicy strips, if it’s been gone for a long time, you won’t think about it.

    But if it’s just run out, you’ll have an immense craving for it.

    Therefore, the current spicy strip market is like a hungry child, waiting for the injection of new products.

    And where are the new products?!

    At Lu Group!

    New products are being prepared!

    ...

    Back to Shimen.

    Liang Lan then set aside all other matters, focusing all her energy on spicy strips, producing them quickly and ensuring quality and quantity to seize the spicy strip market.

    She believes she is definitely not the only one who sees the huge potential of this market, so speed is essential!

    Of course, producing a batch for Young Master to taste first is a must!

    Everything else has to wait!

    ...

    One week later!

    Lu Group’s spicy strips quickly entered the market!

    "Have you heard? Xiaobu’s spicy strips have been produced!"

    "Really?! That’s great, I’ve been craving them so badly these past few days!"

    "Yeah! I want to eat them too, let’s go buy a pack!"

    "Speaking of which, there’s no problem with these spicy strips, right?"

    "No problem! I trust Young Master Bu!"

    "Exactly, who do you think Young Master Bu is! He wouldn’t mess this up!"

    "I got it tested immediately, and the results are out!"

    "What is it?! How much?! Does it meet the standards?!"

    "Standards?! You’re asking the wrong question."

    "What do you mean?!"

    "Because with Lu Group’s spicy strips, the coliform bacteria, total bacteria count, and so on, all the results are zero! There’s absolutely nothing! Absolutely 100% healthy spicy strips!"

    "No way! Awesome! Just as expected from Young Master Bu, the embodiment of conscience! Enough said, I’m buying a pack!"

    "..."

    Numerous people began flocking to major supermarkets, having a lot of trust in Xiaobu!

    And with the test results to boot, everyone’s interest slowly grew!

    They wanted to taste these conscientious spicy strips and see how they are.

    However, many people were stunned after arriving at the supermarket!

    While the product is available and there are many varieties,

    the price...

    "How come it’s so expensive!" S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    "Yeah! I saw the cheapest one is two fifty! The most expensive ones are even five yuan! Weren’t the previous spicy strips only up to one yuan at most?"

    "Xiaobu, isn’t this a bit too much! Who sells such expensive spicy strips?!"

    "Exactly! This price, it feels like a rip-off! Your Lao Ganma is five yuan a bottle, but now a pack of spicy strips is also five yuan?!"

    "This price is really expensive!"

    "..."

    The general public raised doubts about the pricing of spicy strips.

    A minimum of two fifty? And spicy strips costing up to five yuan?!

    You should know that the previous spicy strips were generally five jiao, at most only one yuan!

    This was a five-fold increase!

    It’s not that everyone can’t afford it, but the psychological gap is too severe!

    Looking at the same product, not only did you double the price, you increased it five-fold?!

    The price of five packs before can now only get you one pack?

    Now, wanting to eat five packs costs over ten, even up to twenty yuan?!

    "Forget it, I’ll just try it first!"

    "Right, it’s just a few extra yuan, let’s buy a pack!"

    "Yes! Let’s try, let’s try!"

    "..."

    With the mindset of trying something new, everyone bought one or two packs to take home and eat!

    "Hmm, the taste is good, just like before."

    "Clean, hygienic, and delicious spicy strips, thumbs up! However, I still find the price a bit unacceptable."

    "Yes, what was once just a snack has now become a luxury item!"

    "This isn’t good, Young Master Bu, why don’t we lower the price? The money for a pack of spicy strips is enough for a meal!"

    "Exactly, exactly! Strongly request a price reduction!"

    "..."

    Remember the phrase we often talk about?!

    It’s called, everyone hustles for their own benefit!

    When it doesn’t concern their interests, they act as they wish, but once their own interests are involved, their attitude changes immediately, even by a complete turnaround!

    Just like now, they don’t consider that reducing poor-quality flavors and refining the craftsmanship of Lu Group’s spicy strips have costs!

    All they know is that they’ve paid too much!

    So, the image of Lu Xiaobu, once hailed as a hero, is now greatly diminished in their hearts!

    This is why some people think there are so many flip-floppers in this world!

    ...

    At Qin Xunchang’s home.

    Qin Xunchang sits on the couch, with his eyes slightly closed.

    He has barely eaten anything this week, vomiting everything he eats!

    He brushed his teeth hundreds of times, but still feels a taste in his mouth!

    "Opportunity!"

    Qin Xunchang slowly opens his eyes, reflecting a gaze full of bitterness.

    It’s good that there are no people around him, otherwise, they would definitely shudder in fear!

    Oh, right, his secretary has already scooted out!

    Qin Xunchang takes out his cellphone, making a call.

    What he needs now isn’t about taking down Lu Xiaobu completely, but merely to suppress Lu Xiaobu’s spicy strips business!

    That way, he can seize a chance to make a comeback from Lin Feng!

    Never underestimate the determination of a person willing to eat shit for such an opportunity!

    "Hello, hire an internet troll army for me, aggressively publicize the pricing issue of Lu Group’s spicy strips."

    "Do you need a middleman to handle it, to prevent tracing back to you?"

    "No need, just hire them directly, the lowest level but largest quantity package!"

    "Okay, payment methods will be sent to your mobile later!"

    "Got it!"

    Qin Xunchang hangs up the call, his eyes revealing ferocity!

    Right, he doesn’t need to hide; Lu Xiaobu had given him an opportunity, and Lin Feng said he wouldn’t intervene!

    Let’s just confront it head on then!

    This kind of low-cost package is the most efficient in a sense.

    Because, the troll army doesn’t need to go through intermediaries, doesn’t need to brainstorm different scripts, just copy and paste will do!

    Whereupon!

    "Trash Lu Xiaobu, utterly conscienceless, aiming at Qin Xunchang only to make money for himself!"

    "Trash Lu Xiaobu, utterly conscienceless, aiming at Qin Xunchang only to make money for himself!"

    "..."

    "From a snack to a luxury item, Lu Xiaobu isn’t much better than Qin Xunchang!"

    "From a snack to a luxury item, Lu Xiaobu isn’t much better than Qin Xunchang!"

    "..."

    "One is a ruthless businessman, the other a crook, both cut from the same cloth!"

    "One is a ruthless businessman, the other a crook, both cut from the same cloth!"

    "..."

    There’s no need to say more, as it’s basically similar types of repeated copy-paste comments.

    Some may say, even a fool can tell these are internet trolls!

    How could they possibly be influenced by them.

    Right, a fool can notice!

    But what if these people are willing to be even more foolish than fools!

    They already feel that the price of spicy strips is expensive, now someone is paying trolls to protest the price, why not go along?!

    Got it!

    No one is foolish!

    Lu Xiaobu, looking at the comments, sighed: "Since you say it’s a luxury, then let it be a luxury!"

    Who says spicy strips can’t be a luxury!
