Chapter 766: Chapter 785: Qian Song: I Finally Won for Once
"My crabs will be ready in three or four days, too."
"Wow..." ’Raising them yourself just because you like eating them... How extravagant.’
"The number of crabs Mei Lin’s house is raising isn’t huge, but it should be enough for our initial needs."
’After all, it’s not like we’re selling them.’
-
Time passed quickly.
On August 18th, while the lead fans of the Ju people were fighting on the front lines, a select group secretly received a message from Juju Studio.
This isn’t inaction; we’re just saving our response for the right moment.
The letter expressed confidence in Qiuqiu and hinted to everyone that recent events were all under control.
The fan leaders got the message and began to pull back.
The fans, who were now holding back, were naturally no match for those who had just enjoyed the delicious food and were filled with trust and admiration for Master Huang. They were pushed back at every turn.
That evening, the people who had bought the crab roe sauce at noon finally received the second shipment.
How could such delicious food not drive people wild?
After such a long drought, it was like a sudden downpour for their parched taste buds. The Gourmet Tasting Factory received another wave of rave reviews.
Moreover, once people heard that Master Huang himself had a hand in making the sauce, his follower count exploded, growing by the millions, even tens of millions.
He seemed poised to skyrocket in popularity off the back of this event.
But as great as it was, there was just one problem: the quantity was far too small.
Only thirty million units available... how many people could possibly get their hands on it?
Over at the Federation broadcast.
Qian Song’s eyes were red again. This time, however, it wasn’t from anger or rage, but from sheer joy!
’Growth! Real growth! Selling out tens of millions of units in a second! A price point near 200 Star Coins, and the production cost isn’t even that high. Looking at the traffic, even if we made billions of jars, we still couldn’t meet the demand.’
’One jar is only 500 grams. A grown man with a craving could finish a whole jar in a single day.’
’This stuff is perfect for all ages. A family of three, eating sparingly... one jar is perfectly reasonable, isn’t it? And if they really like it, stocking up on eight or ten jars is hardly excessive, right? Hundreds of millions of families like that... This is a living, breathing money tree!’
"The numbers look great. Are those people in Master Huang’s circle still causing trouble?"
"Jiang Qiuqiu’s fans have backed off," Wang Nian Nian, who had been monitoring the situation, reported. "They quieted down once the reviews started coming out."
Qian Song let out a cold laugh. "Let’s see how long she gets to feel smug."
"What about their movements? Aside from her frantic fans, has the studio itself reacted?"
"Well—no, not really. Their official account just posted this image."
Wang Nian Nian showed Qian Song the picture of the empty jar.
Qian Song shot to his feet.
"On the Gourmet Tasting Factory’s page, how many people have clicked the ’request restock’ button?"
When asked about that, Wang Nian Nian looked a little proud. "2.4 billion."
’2.4 billion!’
’A brand-new company with that kind of traffic!’
But after hearing this, Qian Song’s smile vanished. "2.4 billion people who couldn’t get their hands on it..."
"The more these people read the reviews, the more they’ll want to buy it, and our production capacity can’t keep up... If our competitor starts making their sauce now, they could take advantage of this opening!"
"I doubt it. The crabs are a new species. No one else has a supply right now."
That was true. The thought settled Qian Song’s uneasy heart a little.
"What’s the absolute fastest we can get the next batch of product out?"
"Five days."
"We still have twenty million units. Five days... so release four million a day? That way we can have a release for five straight days."
"That won’t work," Wang Nian Nian said, looking troubled. "We went from ten million units in the first release to twenty million in the second. The general expectation is that the numbers will only go up. Releasing fewer... we’d get flamed for it."
