Chapter 782: Chapter 801: I’m So Excited, So Happy, I Love Her (I Don’t Regret It at All)
"Even though I just said the sauce isn’t very profitable, if you don’t want to make it yourself but still want to try something tasty, please look for Delicious Factory and Taobao Food! Support Juju, and support New Star."
"We promise to donate five percent of all sales revenue to the Federation Learning Center. This money will be used to help children on Low-level and Remote Stars who don’t have spiritual power or Mechanical Talent to learn a trade."
"Well, that’s all for today’s stream! I know you’re all about to start praising me, and compliments can go to my head, so I’m just going to end the stream right now!"
She ended the stream the moment she said she would, without any hesitation.
Everyone in the stream was left wanting to ask...
’She’s selling it at that price and still donating?!’
’Is this... is this for real? Is she actually just doing charity?’
Little Cookie, lost in the crowd of viewers, was also dumbfounded.
She still hadn’t recovered from the price. 5 Star Coins... It only cost 5 Star Coins to get a spot???
’This... This is unbelievable!’
When she watched Master Huang’s streams, each dish was at least 50 Star Coins. For anything slightly more complex, a price over one hundred was common.
But with Jiang Qiuqiu, it was only five Star Coins?
Just as she was starting to wrap her head around the five-Star-Coin price, she heard that five percent of the sales would be donated to charity.
It was one shock after another.
The stream went dark, but Jiang Qiuqiu’s corner of the food world was destined for a turbulent afternoon.
Everyone in their circle knew that Juju’s fans were a tight-knit group.
But ever since Wanxing became an official insider and the core group of power-users had gradually become more like corporate shareholders, they rarely came together to do things like they used to—
with such organization, discipline, and coordination.
Take the recent flame wars with the rival Little Yellow Man group, for example. In the past, the Little Yellow Men would have already been torn to shreds by Juju’s "operational-level" fans.
Nowadays, everyone was more zen about it, too lazy to argue. ’Whatever, they’ll never be as good as our Juju anyway.’
But in this moment, at this exact point in time, within the food community...
!!!
[I’m so fired up! Watching that stream just got my blood pumping!] [We’re really stanning the right streamer. I feel so ashamed for complaining back in the day about the New Star app being trash and saying Little President Qian was a total noob for locking Juju down. Sob, I’m sorry.]
[Same, I apologize too!]
[I think I finally get why Juju and Little Qian get along so well. I always thought they shared a common vision!]
[Look, for the sauce to be set at that price, they both had to agree on it. Juju couldn’t have wanted to profit from it, and Little President Qian couldn’t have been looking to get rich quick, for them to sell it at 80 Star Coins per kg, with shipping and the jar included... Ugh, the more I think about it, the more it sounds like Juju is taking a loss.]
[Stop going on about her taking a loss. If the haters see this, they’ll just say we’re exaggerating and talking nonsense. She’s not losing money, she’s losing out on labor costs!]
With everyone chiming in, the atmosphere in the community grew more and more heated.
Little Cookie quietly watched the power-users’ discussion unfold.
Suddenly, a message that was completely out of tune with all the praise caught everyone’s eye.
[I know everyone’s happy, but here’s the thing... that rival factory is still selling their crab roe sauce! Damn it, they plagiarized our Juju and they’re selling it for two hundred a bottle!]
[...]
’That’s right.’
Now that this person mentioned it, everyone suddenly remembered. The rival, the Gourmet Food Appreciation Factory, had plagiarized them. Plagiarism was one thing, but they were selling it for two hundred! Wasn’t that even more expensive than Juju’s?
A plagiarizing knockoff was earning more than Juju! How could they stand for that?!
[But from what I’ve heard, their business isn’t doing so well anymore, right?]
