The collapse that Ichiro Honda expected didn't happen so quickly. Another month passed, and on April 1st, April Fool's Day, the entire tribute tea company couldn't take it anymore.
Yu-Gi-Oh was still expanding at a crazy speed. Within a month, the number of franchises had increased from 3,000 to 5,000.
At this rate, it was almost certain that the number of franchises would exceed 10,000 in the first half of the year, and 20,000 in the whole year.
What made Ichiro Honda even more uncomfortable was that a Yu-Gi-Oh milk tea franchise shop opened just below his company. It was right across from the tribute tea shop, and both parties started competing.
Ichiro Honda only needed to lower his head to see the two shops through the glass wall of his office. Therefore, he could clearly see the flow of customers between the two shops.
Although the flow of customers between the two shops was equal, and most of the time, it was the tribute tea shop that had more customers.
However, the problem was that there were already three Yu-Gi-Oh milk tea shops on this street, and there was only one tribute tea shop. If the flow of customers between the three Yu-Gi-Oh milk tea shops was combined, the tribute tea shop would be crushed.
Ichiro Honda sighed and pushed open the door of his office. He walked around the entire company and saw a cup of Yu-Gi-Oh milk tea on almost every employee's table.
However, Ichiro Honda wasn't angry when he saw this scene. The company's employees didn't take the initiative to buy the milk tea. Instead, Ichiro Honda ordered them to buy the milk tea. The company even paid for the milk tea.
Don't be mistaken. Ichiro Honda didn't betray the company again. He did this to catch the quality problem of Yu-Gi-Oh milk tea.
Ichiro Honda ordered everyone in the head office to be in charge of a Yu-Gi-Oh milk tea shop. Every day, they had to buy a cup of Yu-Gi-Oh milk tea and drink it back. This way, they could find out the quality and taste problems of Yu-Gi-Oh milk tea as quickly as possible.
After all, as long as there was enough sugar, most customers wouldn't be able to tell the specific problems of the milk tea. Therefore, they had to ask professionals to do it. In order to maintain the status quo, Ichiro Honda specially asked the company's milk tea masters to give all the employees a lesson. They told them what was wrong with the milk tea's taste, which meant that there was a problem with the milk tea's raw material.
Unfortunately, a month passed without any problems. On the contrary, many employees said that Yu-Gi-Oh milk tea tasted better than the tribute tea.
This feedback made Honda Ichiro's face as black as iron. He racked his brains in the company, but he still couldn't find a good way.
Therefore, Ichiro Honda decided to go deep into the tiger's den. He put on casual clothes, a cap, and a mask, and then slipped to the door of a nearby Yu-Gi-Oh milk tea shop. He hid in a corner and secretly observed the operation of the Yu-Gi-Oh milk tea shop.
The shop was actually very small, less than 10 square meters. After setting up a few milk tea machines, a counter, and various storage areas, the space for the staff to stand was very narrow. It couldn't even fit a single bed, and it was very difficult for them to turn around.
The employees of this shop were not youthful and beautiful, nor were they bright and beautiful young men and women. Instead, they were clearly a family of four.
An old mother, who was wearing a Yu-Gi-Oh milk tea uniform, was in charge of charging and ordering. Her father, who was also wrinkled, was busy making milk tea between the milk tea machines.
A young man in his twenties, who looked like their son, was in charge of preparing all kinds of ingredients. He took the orders from his mother, prepared the cups, and poured all kinds of ingredients into them. Then, he handed the cups to his father, who was in charge of the final mixing and sealing. The whole process was very smooth, and he seemed very skilled.
The younger sister was in charge of cleaning the shop and delivering the customers' meals.
Although the shop was small and there were few people, their work efficiency was not low. Although there was a four-meter-long line in front of the shop, a customer would be able to drink the freshest milk tea after waiting for about 10 minutes.
"These people's work efficiency is much faster than our employees'!" Ichiro Honda couldn't help but exclaim when he saw this scene.
Gong Cha's employees had undergone very strict training and were very skilled in the process of mixing various kinds of milk tea. Moreover, each shop was equipped with at least 10 employees, and the most was about 15.
However, Ichiro Honda felt that the combined work speed of these 10 employees seemed to be slower than the speed of this family of four. Moreover, their shop was so small, which was simply incredible.
"Why are they so fast? Is there a secret behind it? " Ichiro Honda fell into deep thought. Because he was hiding in a corner, he couldn't see clearly. Therefore, Ichiro Honda decided to line up at the end of the line. When he was in line, he would observe with his own eyes the reason why the other party was so fast.
Very soon, after careful observation, Honda Ichiro discovered the mystery behind it.
First of all, the milk tea machine used by Yu-Gi-Oh seemed to be very special. A milk tea machine had three beverage outlets, which could simultaneously pour out milk, tea, coffee, hot water, cold water, and other different liquids. Anyway, the staff only needed to press a button, and the corresponding liquid would immediately flow out.
Moreover, because there were three beverage outlets at the same time, a milk tea machine could mix three cups of milk tea at the same time. Of course, the speed was fast.
What was even more amazing was that this milk tea machine was integrated with the sealing machine. After the milk tea was mixed, one only needed to gently move to the side, and it would automatically move to the sealing position. Then, one would press down on the handle, and the milk tea would automatically be sealed.
The entire process only required a single machine to complete.
In Gong Cha, this task required two machines and four employees to work together to complete. Now, it only needed two people to do it.
Yu-Gi-Oh's milk tea machine seemed to be ahead of Gong Cha.
However, the tools were only one aspect. Ichiro Honda immediately discovered that the real reason why the speed of these four people was comparable to the speed of 12 people was that these four people never slacked off. Their hands didn't stop for 20 minutes. The four of them didn't even say a word. Most of their time was devoted to their work, which was the real reason why they worked so fast.
"Boss? Why are you working so hard? You should at least take a break. Don't tire yourself out! "When Ichiro Honda went up to order, he couldn't help but say.
"Take a break? We can't take a break. We don't have time to take a break! " The lady boss quickly shook her head and said, "This shop, these machines, and the joining fee have cost our entire family's savings. If our family doesn't work hard, when will we be able to earn back our capital?"
"Here, this is your number tag. Please go to the other side and use your number tag to get your order!" As the lady boss spoke, her hands quickly completed a simple order. Then, she handed a number tag with the number 40 written on it to Ichiro Honda.
"You don't have to work so hard!" Ichiro Honda laughed.
"It's worth it to work a little harder. Our children are going to go to college soon, and our family still has a 32-year housing loan. Fortunately, the money here is earned by ourselves. The more we work, the more we earn. Of course, we have to work hard!" The lady boss sighed. Ichiro Honda finally understood why Yu-Gi-Oh's club was so fast.
Joining Yu-Gi-Oh's club was like working for oneself. Excluding the cost, all the profits belonged to oneself. Of course, these people wouldn't slack off.
However, Gong Cha was different. No matter how much company approval training he did, the company was still someone else's company. Of course, he would slack off when he could.
