Chapter 768: Chapter 787: Selling Craftsmanship

Jiang Qiuqiu was also keeping an eye on the official account of the Gourmet Appraisal Company.

To monitor the situation in real-time, everyone kept their joint communication channel open.

Qiuqiu didn’t even go back to her dorm today, so as not to disturb her roommates, and instead stayed at the faculty apartments.

"Just as you predicted, they released 20 million units," Little President Qian said, a hint of a smile in his voice.

How could he not smile?

After all, according to the tracking data, they would be completely sold out after releasing these twenty million jars of sauce.

And it was only the 19th.

They didn’t have the technology to make any other sauces, which meant that for the next three to four days, all they could do was watch New Star’s every move, powerless to fight back.

"It’s midnight."

Twenty million units, gone in a flash again.

Even Wanxing, who was used to weathering storms, couldn’t help but remark, "I’m suddenly realizing just how massive the market for food is."

"We founded Taobao Food, and business has been nonstop. Even without any top chefs on board, the platform’s registration and usage rates are incredibly high—"

"The daily revenue is also staggering."

Qiuqiu hummed in agreement. "Who doesn’t want to eat a little better?"

"Someone works hard to earn 10,000 Star Coins a month. You ask them to spend eight thousand on a two-course meal at a revolving restaurant, and they won’t be willing."

But spending two hundred Star Coins for a home-style meal? Who could say no to that?

"Exactly. So, our user base is mostly middle class. The upper class usually waits for Juju’s streams or just has their private chefs cook for them."

"Some try it out of curiosity, but the data shows they’re a minority."

"Then who do you think these sauces are being sold to?"

"Well—" Wanxing thought for a moment. "I still think it’s the middle class. Students and some office workers probably have stronger purchasing power here."

"Some of the minor nobles might buy it too, but the major nobles, like Miss Meilin—"

Before she could finish, Mei Lin interjected dryly, "I’d just reserve an entire crab pond and hire a chef to cook them fresh."

"I feel like Little President Qian got a real bargain, hiring you for so little."

"Xingxing’s analysis is very thorough," Jiang Qiuqiu said with a smile. "But I think we can penetrate the market even further down. If we were the ones making it, we could price some of the sauces even lower."

The two of them discussed market positioning for a while.

Just then, the Gourmet Appraisal Factory suddenly released a statement.

Qian Xingxing sneered.

Jiang Qiuqiu and Wanxing, who were in the middle of their conversation: ?

"What is it, Little President Qian?"

"Look at the statement—"

The Gourmet Appraisal Factory had practically carved the word "shameless" onto its forehead:

[Dear valued customers, hello. We are the Gourmet Appraisal Factory. We truly never expected that our sauces would be so well-loved by so many people after their release.]

[Crab is a relatively new ingredient. Because of this, it is not widely farmed, and our inventory is quite limited. Furthermore, we used a significant portion of our crabs to allow our master sauce-maker to perfect the most flavorful and delicious original recipe.]

[At present, all our stock has been sold. We can only wait for the next batch of ingredients to mature before we can rush production on the second batch of crab roe sauce. For this, we are deeply sorry!]

"..."

"They’re acting as if they really came up with the recipe themselves."

"I’m furious!" Meimei fumed as well.

"Don’t be angry." Qiuqiu was, conversely, the calmest one. "Let them have their moment. Look further down, they actually posted a pre-order link."

A huge number of people were making pre-payments.

So many that even Qian Song next door was stunned.

Jiang Qiuqiu, who had been planning to enter the market immediately with her sauce, saw this incredible turnout and decided to wait another day.

Little President Qian didn’t get it at first, but on the afternoon of the 19th, he suddenly heard from his scouts that Qian Song next door had abruptly placed an order to open several more crab ponds. Then, it clicked.

’Hah.’

On the 20th, after Federation Live Broadcast Company’s six new crab ponds were filled with crab spat, New Star Live Broadcast Company, together with Taobao Food, unveiled the "Delicious Canning Company" and its new proprietary product—Spicy Kuku Meat Sauce—making a brilliant debut.
