If there were happy people, there would naturally be unlucky people who were sad.
Needless to say, the Rosen Convenience Store suffered an unexpected misfortune. After all, they didn't provoke Jia Yapeng, but their sales for the month dropped by 30%. It was simply too horrible to look at.
But this wasn't the worst. The worst was naturally the Coarse Desserts Association.
On the afternoon of September 1st, the Coarse Desserts Association held an emergency meeting. All the main members sent representatives to attend this meeting.
But this meeting wasn't held by Ichiro Honda's classmate, who was the chairman, but by the unanimous request of the association's members. The chairman had no choice but to agree to hold the meeting.
"Chairman Kitano, you have to explain to us what's going on!" The members angrily questioned Kitano He.
"What's there to explain?" Chairman Kitano He said with a fake smile. "Everyone voted to reject the review. What does it have to do with me?"
"No, if you hadn't secretly negotiated with us to use Hua Xia's production as an excuse to reject the review of Crispy Noodles the Elf, we wouldn't have fallen to this point!" A member was so angry that his hair was about to burst into flames.
To be honest, the appearance of Crispy Noodles the Elf had a huge impact on the entire coarse desserts industry and even the entire association.
According to the statistics of the Coarse Desserts Association, in the past year, the average monthly sales of the coarse desserts industry in Fusang was about 30 billion yen.
But in August, the total sales of the coarse desserts industry dropped by 30%, leaving only 20 billion yen in sales.
This was equivalent to a 30% drop in sales for every member of the association. It would be strange if the entire association didn't explode.
After all, the coarse desserts industry wasn't a very profitable one. After all, the price of coarse desserts was only ten or so yen, and there were even some products that cost a few yen. Everyone worked hard to make money, while a coarse desserts might only make one or two yen.
Now that the entire industry's sales had dropped by 30%, this directly caused the income of many coarse desserts to plummet and their inventory to increase, but their costs didn't decrease. This directly caused their profits to become negative.
At this time, about half of the association's members actually had a negative profit for August. This was undoubtedly extremely terrifying news.
That was why all the members of the careless Association requested to hold an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with the current situation.
Of course, another reason was to vent his anger. He wanted to vent his anger on the chairman of the association, the damned Kitano He.
Kitano felt very wronged. He said gloomily, "Everyone, this incident proves that I was right to stop Crispy Noodles the Elf from joining the association. If Crispy Noodles the Elf had joined the association, he would have been able to sell in all the snack shops. His sales would have been even better, and the sales of our products might have dropped even lower. So, I did a good deed for everyone. You can't blame me for this!"
Bei Ye He's words made many people nod their heads. Could it be that Bei Ye He had really done something good?
Unfortunately, there were smart people in the meeting. One of the members immediately stood up and sneered, "Everyone, have you forgotten how we usually deal with those newcomers who may become popular?"
This member's words made many beads of sweat appear on Bei Ye He's forehead.
"Since you don't remember, I'll explain it to you. If you meet a naturally popular careless pastry shop, you must try your best to get him to join the association. This is because all the channels for careless pastry shops are controlled by the association. The amount of goods supplied to each careless pastry shop is also decided by the association!"
"Even if it's a popular snack like Crispy Noodles the Elf, as long as we control the distribution channels and only supply 10,000 boxes of stock a day, no matter how popular Crispy Noodles the Elf is, there will be no stock in the country. If the children can't buy it, they can only buy our snacks!
"So, back then, as long as we let Crispy Noodles the Elf join the association, and at the same time, according to the association's rule of not allowing third-party sales, we could firmly control Crispy Noodles the Elf's distribution channels and necks. No matter how strong this little thing is, it will be strangled to death by us!
"Back then, didn't we make Yoko Soda and Glico Milk Candy disappear just like that? If we had signed the agreement with Crispy Noodles the Elf back then, this bastard wouldn't be as arrogant as he is now, and he wouldn't be able to reduce all of our sales by 30%. This is all your fault, you bastard. You let go of the opportunity to control Crispy Noodles the Elf! "In a fit of anger, this member directly exposed many of the dating secrets.
Many of the new members of the association felt a chill in their hearts. They had always thought that the association was a place where they could help each other and quickly sell their snacks. Who would have thought that the association was a demon, a demon that made all the old members strangle their competitors?
From this point of view, Jia Yapeng and Honda Ichiro should indeed thank Kitano He. If not for his passionate support, Jia Yapeng had no choice but to cooperate with the convenience store, Jia Yapeng's neck really would have been strangled to death by the association.
"Nonsense, how would I know that it would be a big seller … I …" Kitano He said in a panic. It was also at this moment that there was a sudden commotion at the association's entrance. Very quickly, a subordinate rushed into the meeting room and whispered something in Kitano He's ear. Kitano He's expression became extremely terrible.
"Chairman Kitano, what on earth happened?!" The members all looked at Kitano He in confusion.
"It's the owners of the snack shops all over the country …" Kitano He's expression became incomparably gloomy. "There are about 1,000 of them. They've already blocked the entrance of our association, and they're protesting against us."
"Protesting against us? What do we have to protest against? "A few members said blankly.
"Nonsense, of course they're protesting against us. They're protesting against the association for rejecting Crispy Noodles the Elf back then!" A member said with a cold smile. "Our sales have dropped by 30%, so have the sales of all the snack shops in the country. However, because of the association's restrictions, they can't stock in their stores. They can only watch as children go to the convenience store to buy crispy noodle snacks. Let alone protesting, I'm afraid they're even thinking of killing us!"
"Everyone, I'm afraid we're really in big trouble this time!"
