125: Chapter 125 Stop dawdling! Give me a taste of the sweetness!

Gradually, someone among the onlookers recognized Qin Xun and couldn't help but be shocked.

"Is this that Qin Xun who sings so well and made people cry at weddings?"

"Is this that Qin Xun who was willing to sell me apples while shirtless and even called me baby?"

"I don't go online much, so I don't quite understand—why is he so popular with internet celebrities?"

"He is the mastermind behind Xiao Ying Doll, who has nearly 5 million followers. In just a few days, he turned an ordinary person into a hot internet celebrity."

"In the eyes of influencers, he's probably equivalent to a mafia godfather!"

"He can sleep with whoever the hell he wants! Regardless of gender!"

"Uh… envious…"

Qin Xun waited until the incessant shouting died down before raising the microphone and saying with a smile:

"Today is the global launch celebration for the grand reopening of the latest generation of Dudu Tea stores!"

"Thank you all for coming!"

As soon as he said this, more and more shoppers were attracted by the commotion and gradually gathered around.

When Qian Yunfa heard the words "global launch," his face twitched involuntarily. He looked at the tacky storefront and sighed quietly.

This storefront didn't deserve the words "global launch"; it only deserved "village-wide launch"!

Those marketing planners lurking in the crowd felt a bit annoyed as they watched Qin Xun standing at the store entrance, full of spirit.

Some curled their lips. Some spat. They complained one after another:

"Huh? This?"

"Global launch?"

"I can't really say he's engaging in false advertising!"

"But he sure has a big mouth."

"By his logic, a stinky tofu stall opened next to my house yesterday, and they have a wasabi-mixed stinky tofu dish—does that count as a universal launch?"

Just as they were complaining, those fifty-plus influencers started howling and cheering loudly again, as happy as if it were their third wedding today.

"A global launch—I've encountered it; what an honor!"

"So lucky, so grateful!"

"Good! Good! Good! I'm going to drink one hundred cups of milk tea today!"

"Wishing Dudu Tea, under the leadership of Mr. Qin, to charge from Flower City across the nation, sweep the globe, and rule the universe!"

"For ten thousand generations, unifying the martial arts world!"

The onlookers were shocked by the influencers' madness. No wonder they could become influencers!

This isn't just having thick skin! This is being completely shameless!

If Qin Xun were to take a leak in a milk tea cup and sell it to them, they would probably praise it with a smile.

"This cup of lemonade is truly clear in color and rich in taste; it is a rare vintage that is hard to find in this world!"

The scene below the stage was heated. Qin Xun reached out towards where the influencers were gathered, signaling them to calm down. The noise instantly died down significantly. No one dared to act out.

He continued, smiling:

"I believe that after seeing the performance of Snow King, the brand mascot for Dudu Tea, you can tell that the newly upgraded Dudu Tea can be described in one word."

His gaze swept across the crowd, and just as everyone was craning their necks in anticipation, he suddenly shouted: "Cheap!"

As soon as he said this, the crowd went silent. They were stunned! Dumbfounded! Shocked!

The onlookers looked at each other. They had seen many store openings in their lives, and all of them tried every way possible to praise themselves.

Things like "craftsmanship design," "excellent quality." Things like "good value for money," "buy two get one free." Things like "you can't lose with two dollars, you won't be cheated with two dollars!"

This was the first time in their lives they had seen someone insult themselves at their own opening ceremony.

The influencers looked at each other, not knowing how to play along with this "cheap." They couldn't just shout at the top of their lungs:

"Well played on the cheapness!"

"How exactly is it cheap?"

"How cheap is it exactly?"

Qian Yunfa's expression was a bit unpleasant. He looked up at the glaring sun, wondering if he should just fake a heatstroke!

What does it matter if the milk tea is cheap or not? I'm the cheap one! Why did I fly from Shanghai to Lingnan? I must be a masochist!

How will I be able to hold my head up in front of my peers in the future? Should I go to the milk tea industry conference or not?

Those peers in the marketing industry looked at each other, seeing amusement in each other's eyes. They began to whisper.

"Qin Xun wants to take an unconventional path? He's overplayed his hand!"

"Look at the Dudu Tea executive team; they all look as miserable as if their mothers died, dying to rush up and beat up Qin Xun."

"Our boss previously said that everyone in our company's planning department combined wasn't worth a single hair of Qin Xun's. Heh…"

"Insulting the client as 'cheap' in front of hundreds of people—this kid is getting cocky; his value is about to plummet!"

Suddenly, a silver-bell-like female voice was heard from the crowd. "Brother, may I ask, exactly how 'cheap' is Dudu Tea?"

Qin Xun looked over and saw Song Ying looking smug, even arching her eyebrows at him. He felt a bit gratified. This kid is just so clever! It's a real shame she didn't become a crosstalk sidekick!

He held the microphone and said loudly with a smile: "I believe many of you have received the flyers for Dudu Tea. They feature our new milk tea products, but they all… lack prices!"

He paused, seeing many people below pick up their flyers to take another look, before continuing: "Now, I will announce the prices." He took a deep breath, looking at the crowd. "Are—you—ready?"

As soon as he finished speaking, that group of shameless, uninhibited influencers shouted at the top of their lungs:

"Ready!"

"I'm already starving!"

"Qin Xun, I want it, I want it, I want it!"

If you only listened to the voices, someone who didn't know better would think it was the opening ceremony of some club!

The onlookers, the Dudu Tea executive team, and the competitors in the marketing industry all showed expressions of shock. Holy crap! This is probably the strongest hype squad in history! Are they really this uninhibited? Is there really no one in this world you care about? Did this Qin Xun put a spell on them or something?

Qin Xun smiled, very satisfied. The feeling of being flattered is really great. No wonder emperors in ancient times liked the head eunuchs so much! They were sweet-talkers!

He looked at the crowd and said loudly: "We cannot let high-end milk tea become increasingly arrogant; cost-effective milk tea is the coolest!"

His gaze swept over the crowd, and he began to shout: "Dudu Tea is going to smash the prices down hard!"

"Ice cream cone, 2 yuan!"

"Strawberry Shake, 6 yuan!"

"Strawberry Snow King Sundae, 6 yuan!"

"Iced Lemonade, 4 yuan!"

"Original Milk Tea, 9 yuan, large cup!"

"Red Bean Milk Tea, 9 yuan, large cup!"

"Milk Cap Four Seasons Spring, 10 yuan!"

"…"

Hearing these prices, the onlookers all showed expressions of delight. They didn't expect that in this era full of "milk tea assassins," where a cup of milk tea could easily cost over twenty yuan, such a breath of fresh air would emerge!

The crowd was restless and shouted:

"Stop dilly-dallying, hurry up and sell it!"

"I want to buy!"

"Ah, love it to death, love it to death!"

"Hurry up and give me a taste of the sweetness!"

Suddenly! A discordant voice shouted out:

"So cheap!"

"These milk teas wouldn't be made from milk tea powder and syrup mixed with water, would they?"
