Meg brewed a pot of tea and sat opposite Irina. As they chatted, they talked about the weight-loss tea.
Meg poured a cup of tea for Irina and asked curiously, "Ashley is very responsible. She personally led a team to the Demon Islands. I wonder if the improvement has been successful?"
As long as it was something that could make a woman beautiful, there was no need to worry that it would not sell well. Tofu pudding was proof of this.
Moreover, weight-loss was not only a problem for women. It had a large market for both men and women, old and young.
"This morning, she let me try a new flavor of weight-loss tea. She made three flavors — coconut milk, orange juice, and apple juice. The texture and taste are very good. It no longer has the previous taste that was hard to swallow. It's more like pure fruit juice." Irina smiled and said, "Moreover, it retains half of the weight-loss effects."
"Amazing!" Meg's eyes lit up. According to what Irina said, this was definitely a weight-loss tea that would explode in popularity after it was launched.
Although the weight-loss effects were halved, the better taste and texture determined that it would be able to obtain a larger market.
"When do you plan to officially mass produce and launch it to the public?" Meg asked.
"Currently, the biggest problem is how to preserve it. As it's freshly squeezed fruit juice, the freshness period is very short. It can't be stored and sold like wine." Irina shook her head. This was the most troublesome problem for Ashley's team at the moment.
"Freshly squeezed fruit juice is a very good selling point in itself. At the same time, it can also reasonably increase the unit price." Meg smiled and said, "You can set up a small shop that specializes in selling weight-loss fruit juice. There will be no seats, or only a small number of simple booths. You can sell freshly squeezed fruit juice to the public. Through the rapid increase in volume, you can earn huge profits."
"A restaurant that specializes in selling weight-loss tea?" Irina frowned. She felt that this was a very novel suggestion.
"Yes. This model is actually very simple. It doesn't require a big shop front. However, you must find a place with a lot of human traffic and adopt a multi-point strategy. Through standardized production processes, centralized purchasing of raw materials, and other means, you can reduce costs. Furthermore, you have the current market monopoly and reap huge profits." As Meg spoke, he took out a pen and paper and did some calculations for Irina.
Milk tea shops were everywhere on Earth in his previous life.
The Norland Continent had already secured the ticket to peace for the next 100 years. Its economy was booming, and its business model would also change accordingly.
At least, Meg felt that launching a milk tea shop in Chaos City would be completely acceptable to the market. Furthermore, it would be able to take off with the selling point of the weight-loss tea.
One had to know that Mia's ice cream shop already had a daily turnover of over 30,000 copper coins.
The initial target of the weight-loss tea, which had the effect of losing weight, was women who cared about their figures the most.
The commercial value of women was the greatest in the entire consumer market. They had considerable spending power and were willing to pay for beauty.
It would cost a fortune to transport fresh fruits from the Demon Islands to Chaos City. Thankfully, fruits weren't seafood, so there were many ways to keep them fresh.
If the Night Elves planned to do this business for a long time, they could set up their own transportation team to be responsible for the transportation of fruits. The transportation cost would be greatly reduced.
Moreover, the fruit flavor in the weight-loss juice was mainly used for flavoring. The cost of a single cup of juice was actually limited.
Meg did a simple calculation. The material cost of a cup of weight-loss juice was about 15 copper coins. The cost of labor and rent would have to be allocated to a cup of milk tea according to the sales volume.
"Therefore, we will earn less from this cup of weight-loss juice. We will sell it at 100 copper coins per cup. We will earn some hard-earned money and build up our reputation first." Meg put down the calculator. "If a shop can sell 1,000 cups of weight-loss juice a day, then the turnover of a single shop would be 100,000 copper coins. If we open 10 shops in Chaos City, then the turnover of this business would be between 500,000 to 1,000,000 copper coins a day."
Irina looked at Meg and pondered seriously for a while. Then, she shockingly said, "That's more profitable than your restaurant?"
"I never opened a restaurant to earn money." Meg smiled. "Mana Hot Pot Restaurant's turnover is already much higher than Amy's now. Raina is still planning for a second and third branch, as well as opening up markets in other cities."
"But, are you sure this will really work? Will people spend 100 copper coins just because you say this is weight-loss tea? "Irina was still unconvinced.
She had also discussed the selling price with Ashley in the morning. The cost was about the same as Meg's estimation. They planned to sell it at 20 copper coins and earn 5 copper coins per cup.
That was the real hard-earned money, alright?
They didn't even dare to think about selling it at 100 copper coins per cup.
That was simply profiteering.
However … Thinking about it this way, this was the way to earn big bucks.
After all, the Night Elves had tens of thousands of mouths to feed. Earning 5 copper coins per cup was not even enough for everyone to eat coarse grains.
"First of all, you have to be sure that this is not an ordinary fruit juice. This is a weight loss fruit juice that can make you lose weight and your figure become more beautiful. Moreover, it is made from freshly squeezed fruit juice from the Demon Islands thousands of miles away." Meg smiled, and said, "Just these two points alone are enough to make it fatally attractive to women."
"However, what you lack now is a trustworthy brand effect. The most crucial thing is whether you can attract the first batch of customers and bring about a good reputation through the effects of their drinking. From there, you can achieve the effect of word of mouth."
"So, what should we do?" Irina humbly asked for advice.
"It's very simple. I can set up a stall in front of Mamy's as a warm-up. Mamy will endorse you. As long as you can get this batch of high-quality customers from Mamy's, you won't have to worry about sales," Meg said calmly as he crossed his hands on the table.
Irina was stunned for a moment before she smiled. "That's really cheating."
"Opening a back door for my wife isn't considered cheating." Meg shook his head slightly. "But before that, I need to be sure that your weight-loss juice can meet my requirements. Be it the taste, effect, or packaging, I need to personally verify it."
"No problem. I'll make a trip to the textile factory and let Ashley talk to you personally." Irina nodded. She took a sip of tea and got up to leave.
Ding!
Just then, the bell at the door suddenly rang out.
Irina tilted her head and looked out of the floor-to-ceiling window. A playful smile appeared on her face. She sat back down in her seat and said with a smile, "Your outstanding business partner has come to look for you. Since you're so close to each other, as the lady boss, shouldn't I get to know her?"
