Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 642: Jet Warriors

The issue with Xibee has been stirring online for a while.

Even if Jia Guolong is blinded by the information cocoon, the decline in the revenue at each store doesn't lie.

So Jia Guolong finally figured it out. He was deceived by his own people and Hua & Hua.

Hua & Hua egged him on against Rayong, but it was useless, and instead, Xibee, which originally wanted to shine, ended up showing its rear.

How significant is the loss caused to Xibee by this incident?

Now it's not just about the significant drop in store revenues everywhere.

It's affecting Xibee's original listing plan.

Initially, Xibee planned to go public in a year, and capitals everywhere, along with financial companies and bigwigs ready to profit, had already stepped in to hold shares.

But now this incident has occurred.

If Xibee can't survive this crisis, leading to a failed listing, the loss may reach 30-40 billion.

The countless bigwigs waiting to profit in the background might just eat up Jia Guolong alive.

And the obvious instigator of all this, Luo Yonghao, reacted earlier.

He just skipped out, dodged the scene, and ran off to Hong Kong Island first.

"Let's halt our PR offensive here," Chen Yiyang said to his subordinates in the office, "and also quickly erase all traces of our participation in this Xibee affair, don't leave any handle for others to find."

"Alright," the assistants all nodded in agreement.

Originally, they targeted Xibee out of concern that under the instigation of Hua & Hua, Xibee would accuse Sicily Restaurant, causing negative impacts on it.

But over time, they found that Sicily Restaurant's low-price strategy was enormously effective, to the point where it was immune to any criticism besides pricing.

A while ago, Hua & Hua did contemplate implicating Sicily Restaurant directly to retaliate against Chen Yiyang.

But they found it ineffective.

Hua & Hua initially invited a few French people to taste the escargot at Sicily Restaurant.

Authentic escargot is supposed to be freshly baked.

At Sicily, they use canned pre-made escargot, selling a plate for just twenty bucks.

After these French folks tried it and saw the price, they all remarked that this escargot was quite authentic, similar to what they had in France.

In fact, nowadays there aren't many restaurants in France that serve freshly baked escargot.

Because escargots are troublesome to handle when fresh, it's better for factories to process them uniformly and can them.

Many younger French folks have grown up familiar with canned escargot unless they frequent high-end restaurants.

Not quite convinced, Hua & Hua then invited a few Italians to Sicily to sample their supposedly authentic Italian cuisine.

Of course, the Italian cuisine at Sicily isn't authentic, as it's modified for domestic palates.

When these Italians saw the pizza topped with meat pieces and fruit, they were initially upset.

But seeing the price, they forcibly swallowed their anger.

At this price, who would expect fine dining?

You could put anything on a pizza.

Sicily Restaurant's successful strategy is not without precedent.

The brand most similar to Sicily Restaurant is, of course, the famous "Sprayer" Wallace.

It must be known that food quality issues can be devastating for any chain restaurant.

But the "Sprayer" moniker for Wallace is universally acknowledged in the country.

The widespread recognition of Wallace by that nickname is enough to indicate some issues with their quality control.

Yet Wallace has only grown more popular over the past few years.

The reason? Its prices are just unbeatable.

Even with delivery, for around thirteen bucks, you get a burger, a Coke, a crispy bone skewer, three black-pepper chicken pieces, and two chicken racks.

With such value for money, even many pre-packaged dishes and fried rice can't compare.

Sicily's dining value beats Wallace even more so.

Chen Yiyang learned Saraya's cost-control techniques during his research and initially invested heavily, making sure all Sicily franchises matched mid-to-high-end Western restaurants in décor.

Although this led to substantial upfront costs for Sicily Restaurant.

These investments have dramatically increased perceived value at Sicily.

Many Sicily regulars have noted that six hundred bucks would barely cover a meal in the Northwest, but at Sicily, it could fund a wedding banquet.

Many young folks are also bringing their parents, who rarely have Western, to try out the classy-looking Sicily chains.

The whole family dines well for just about a hundred bucks.

This lets the older generation try Western food for the first time, and the cost falls within their accepted range.

Of course, this extreme cost-effectiveness also takes a heavy toll on profits.

But Chen Yiyang doesn't prioritize that.

The key in the dining industry is a large workforce and staff.

Though Sicily Restaurant currently only operates in a few first- and second-tier cities, it already employs more people than Yiyang Automobile plus Yiyang Flash Sale combined.

It's solved a vast employment issue.

Chen Yiyang feels he's a step closer to being a people's capitalist.

But he's heading abroad soon.

Not because of Xibee forcing him like Luo Yonghao to avoid the spotlight.

Instead, he needs to finalize a contract with Yandex in Russia, requiring his presence for a signature.

Since it's convenient to head to Russia, Chen Yiyang decides to fly over, sign, and then return.

The plane landed in Moscow, precisely at midnight. Chen Yiyang glanced at his phone, scrolling through a tip-off.

Today's tip-off, Flesh Body Buddha: A wealthy individual in Moscow is selling off his collectibles, including a Flesh Body Buddha, ripe for picking.

Contact info and item images are on page two.

Hmm?

Chen Yiyang, almost dazed with sleep, instantly perked up seeing this information.

This antique discovery leans quite heavy.

The so-called Flesh Body Buddha refers to the enshrined remains of a living Buddha after passing.

In ancient times, the remains of great monks were typically opened to the public for mourning, and afterward, embalmed.

The body would be sealed directly in a barrel and opened three years later.

If the Buddha's face was life-like and the body uncorrupted, they'd be gilded and consecrated as a Flesh Body Buddha.

Therefore, the Flesh Body Buddha essentially refers to embalmed, gilded remains.

This was Chen Yiyang's first encounter with such a find.

After deplaning, Gena personally came to pick up Chen Yiyang.

They had a late-night supper, chatted casually, and since it was so late, Chen Yiyang went to sleep with a conversational companion, a strikingly beautiful Russian girl Gena arranged.
