Chapter 190: Chapter 151: Pie Drawing Skill, Achieving Great Merit! (Part 2)

...

After closing the secret chamber and isolating all the loiterers outside, Xiyu rubbed his cheeks, making his expression a bit more serious:

"Milk Tea Master, Miss Chuchu, I’ve been drinking all day today, not saying a word to you, nor asking you to make me milk tea with alcohol. Actually... hey...

I’ve always been too embarrassed to tell you, opening your Happy Milk Tea in River Debris City faces huge resistance, it’s basically impossible."

Li Chuchu: ???

Lin Hao: ???

After a moment of silence, Li Chuchu asked:

"Why? Is there something wrong with our Happy Milk Tea?"

"No no no, it’s not that your Happy Milk Tea is bad, it’s...

Too good! Excessively good."

Next, Xiyu described how he utilized his personal connections over this period to communicate with the Market Supervision Bureau, Fire Department, Police Office, Tax Department, Social Security Bureau, and other departments, and shared how the leaders of these departments reacted after receiving products from Xiyu.

"I never used to drink milk tea, only alcohol. I didn’t expect your milk tea to be much more delicious and nutritious than what’s offered on the market...

The leaders of those departments unanimously believe that if Happy Milk Tea enters River Debris City, it will disrupt the existing milk tea market, surely seizing a vast market share, severely affecting the current market balance...

You, as people from Ke Chen City, will eventually take the profits away after making money in River Debris City, and those leaders say...

They must protect the local market in River Debris City and prioritize the bigger picture."

What happens if local milk tea can’t compete with the outside ones?

Just keep them out!

If good currency drives out bad currency, then don’t let the good currency enter the field?

This River Debris City is quite interesting.

"But didn’t you recommend me to the Director of Civil Affairs Bureau?" Li Chuchu said, feeling somewhat unwilling.

"The Civil Affairs Bureau can’t manage Happy Milk Tea opening a company in River Debris City. If they need to open cross-city procurement bids, that’s an internal matter, separate affairs." Xiyu truthfully informed.

Li Chuchu: "Is there really no way?"

Xiyu: "It’s very difficult; I basically have no solution."

Li Chuchu opened and closed her mouth, initially wanting to bargain, but words ultimately failed to leave her mouth.

Listening nearby, Devout Buddhist nudged Xiyu and said heavily:

"What’s going on? You asked Rich Monk to bring people, now how come you can’t push things forward?"

"I want to push too; there’s a group of people behind me relying on me to find a livelihood... But there’s no choice, they say to protect the local market, what can I do? I’m also at a loss." Xiyu sighed.

Li Chuchu pursed her lips, apologizing to Lin Hao:

"I’m sorry for dragging you here."

Lin Hao replied with a smile:

"If there’s an apology, should it be me apologizing? I pushed Devout Buddhist to you, and then Devout Buddhist introduced Deputy Captain Xiyu to you, leading you to River Debris City."

The atmosphere turned somewhat heavy for a moment.

Lin Hao pondered and then stood up:

"Anyway, the prepared ingredients for today can’t just go to waste, right?"

Lin Hao walked over to the milk tea machines and started working.

Qianqian skillfully began assisting.

Lin Hao’s skilled and aesthetically pleasing movements made the three present feel it was a sight to behold.

Li Chuchu had been partnering with Lin Hao for quite a while, becoming very familiar with the milk tea-making procedure, but no matter how often she saw it, she never grew tired.

However, today’s milk tea-making process seemed a bit odd.

The techniques were different from usual, the shaking frequency, ingredient selection, and usage...

All differed somewhat.

Moreover, this water quantity couldn’t fill the cup completely.

As a cup of milk tea was nearing completion, Lin Hao asked Xiyu:

"What kind of alcohol do you like to drink?"

...

Looking at the mixed drink before him, be it a milk tea mixed with alcohol or alcohol mixed with milk tea, Xiyu forced a smile:

"Milk Tea Master, you’re really persuasive, I suggested making milk tea with alcohol and you truly did it."

To this, Li Chuchu had something to say:

"My household’s Gold Medal Milk Tea Master always listens; fulfilling customers’ needs is our highest service principle."

Lin Hao pushed the cup towards Xiyu and said with a smile:

"Though cooperation might not be fulfilled, business ethics matter. Taste it, see how it feels."

"Good, I’ll taste it."

Saying this, Xiyu raised the cup, toasted Lin Hao and Li Chuchu, and said:

"This time I didn’t handle affairs well, I apologize here to both of you."

Saying this, Xiyu lifted the milk tea and drank it down in one go...

Gulp gulp gulp gulp.

Today, Xiyu had already consumed a lot of alcoholic beverages in the club, his Spiritual Power had been repeatedly impacted by the force inciting emotions desire, but he felt he could endure a few more rounds.

Yet, once this drink entered Xiyu’s stomach, he didn’t sense any discomfort; there was no potential force polluting his spirit.

Instead, Xiyu experienced a weak, peculiar, indescribable energy, moving from his stomach straight towards the celestial cap...

His mental energy, engaged daily in drinking and resisting desire-forces, received an extremely adequate release.

Much like soaking in a medicinal bath after a whole-body soreness from martial arts training.

Much like an ordinary person entering a club for the first time, experiencing a full-body spa.

Just like...

"Ah~~~"

Such a sensation made Xiyu hum involuntarily.

This, refreshing refreshing refreshing refreshing...

The mental recovery felt more pleasurable than having one’s ears cleaned in an ear-cleaning shop.

Xiyu’s reaction made Devout Buddhist, Li Chuchu, and Qianqian all cast odd glances at Lin Hao.

Li Chuchu even took out her phone, swiftly typed some words, and showed them to Lin Hao:

"Didn’t we just fail to successfully open the store here? You didn’t drug him, did you?"

Lin Hao smiled:

"Boss, in your eyes, am I someone who would drug others?"

Li Chuchu shook her head.

Lin Hao’s words shattered the silence in the chamber. Xiyu opened his eyes, focusing on Lin Hao:

"Milk Tea Master, this is incredible, truly incredible! How did you do it?"

Faced with Xiyu’s question, Lin Hao did not respond directly but asked:

"If this milk tea with alcohol were only available to a select few, do you think it’s feasible?"

"That... seems feasible."

"You just witnessed it as well; our ingredients are all very ordinary, but perhaps some of these few would be willing to pay a high price for a taste? Our per-cup profit could reach at least thirty times the cost, you’d also receive dividends, under such circumstances...

Is it also only ’seems feasible’?"

Faced with Lin Hao’s counter-question, Xiyu hesitated for a moment, then clenched his teeth and said:

"I need sixty percent, no, I need fifty percent of the profits. If you can allow me fifty percent of the profits, I’ll fight tooth and nail to let you in!

This entry isn’t limited to just this milk tea with alcohol; your milk tea can enter too!"

Xiyu looked at Lin Hao intensely, and Lin Hao stepped back, retreating behind Li Chuchu, saying:

"I’m just someone who makes milk tea; I don’t understand business matters, please discuss with my boss Li Chuchu."

Having witnessed everything, Li Chuchu felt a bit bewildered, but this didn’t hinder her from understanding—

Happy Milk Tea had secured entry eligibility for River Debris City.

Now, it was just the price that hadn’t been settled.

Negotiating pricing was her expertise.

Lin Hao, Devout Buddhist, and Qianqian tactfully left the secret chamber.

The three joined a group of loiterers in the same booth, waiting for the outcome from within the chamber...

Half an hour later...

[Sect Master Lin Hao used the "Pie Drawing Skill," allowing former official Cultivator Xiyu to see the insane profits of the Ke Chen City Happy Milk Tea Limited Sect’s industry]
