Chapter 678: Chapter 697: Ding, Your New Star Food Delivery Platform, Now in Preparation
The complaints were heartfelt.
Those on the receiving end felt a pang of anxiety.
No one dared to speak, unsure of what Qiuqiu’s stance was—
In fact, the people who had bought the food were also curious what Juju would say.
At first, everyone just wanted some tasty food. But as more people discussed it, they began to realize this situation might be infringing on Juju’s interests.
The barrage of complaints in the chat continued until Jiang Qiuqiu finally spoke up. "Alright, I’ve seen what’s going on in the community group."
The moment the person at the center of the issue said she’d seen it, the complaints died down instantly.
"You’re all right. Having all those different posts mixed together is definitely too messy."
’W-what does she mean? Is she going to implement new rules? Is she going to ban these kinds of posts from the group?’
The hearts of Feng Xiang and the others sank.
But Jiang Qiuqiu’s very next sentence brought them all back to life.
"I’ve looked through everyone’s sales posts, and I think it’s a great idea. Some people don’t like to cook, while others do. Buying and selling pre-made meals makes life more convenient for everyone."
"But having them scattered around the community group is disorganized and unregulated. Is the food safe during transport? Are the sellers qualified? There are a lot of potential issues. I think if we’re going to do this properly, we need a planned, well-managed system."
’Isn’t that just a food delivery app in disguise!’
She felt like she’d just stumbled upon a massive business opportunity.
Jiang Qiuqiu said it casually, but her words still sent waves crashing through the livestream and the hearts of her audience.
’What the... Does Juju not care at all?’
[Wait, so people can just profit off Juju’s ideas like that?]
[Shouldn’t a share of the profits go to Juju?]
[I think so! You have to pay royalties to use a patent!]
Now that Jiang Qiuqiu had given her blessing for people to sell her recipes, the fans in the chat felt strongly that anyone using her ideas must give a portion of their profits to her.
The moment this suggestion appeared, the chat flooded with responses.
[I’ll pay! I’m willing!]
[I can give thirty percent of my net profit. I really mean it! Every last cent!]
[Me too!]
The response was unanimous.
The chat flooded with agreement.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the livestream was electric.
Jiang Qiuqiu quickly shook her head. "There’s no need. I’ve already made the tutorials public, so it’s not the same as a patent. Everyone works hard for their profit. Really, you don’t have to."
[You have to!]
[It was Juju who taught us!]
"Really, there’s no need. Okay, let’s drop the subject." ’I’m not taking that money anyway. The people trying to earn a bit from this in the community are mostly from families that aren’t well-off, or they live on remote planets. What would be the point in taking money from them?’
"Besides," she added, "if we keep talking about this, we’ll run out of time."
"I’ll discuss the specifics with my boss and we’ll come up with a proposal as soon as possible. For this next week... everyone will just have to put up with things as they are. Or, if you’re curious, you could find some fans with good reputations and place an order to give their food a try."
"It will be March at the latest. New Star should have a viable plan ready sometime before the end of March."
With the digression over, the camera drone swiveled. Jiang Qiuqiu shifted her position, and the star of the show changed from the pickled radishes on the left side of the counter to the large fish on the right.
That’s right. These large fish were the true stars of today’s show.
"Welcome, everyone, to my culinary livestream! I’m Jiang Qiuqiu. I forgot to say that at the start, so I’m saying it now. Today, we’re going to make—Squirrel-style Fish."
"It’s a very unique and delicious signature dish! I’ll go a bit slower, so any dedicated fans can try making it themselves."
