Chapter 102: Chapter 102 Good Idea
Evening.
Jiangdi Lao went viral across the entire network.
Among all the buzz, Jiangdi Lao’s supreme service even topped the trending search list.
On various social media platforms, many people were discussing Jiangdi Lao’s service.
“Having a hot pot at Jiangdi Lao and getting a free manicure, what a great feeling!”
“I was watching a movie while eating hot pot, and the waitress noticed my phone was just sitting on the table, obstructing the view, so she brought over a phone stand for me, truly thoughtful.”
“My wife and I took our daughter for hot pot, and the little one was being clingy, making us both unable to enjoy our meal peacefully. Then a service girl came over to play games with our daughter, making it the smoothest dining experience we’ve had with our bundle of joy.”
“At Jiangdi Lao, children can eat snacks for free and even get some little toys, my son said he wants us to take him to Jiangdi Lao for hot pot again.”
“The service at Jiangdi Lao is truly beyond words, completely changing my perception of the catering industry.”
“Jiangdi Lao’s boss is really talented, coming up with such service is unprecedented.”
“I think everyone should go have a meal at Jiangdi Lao to experience their supreme service.”
…
Seeing these comments on social media, the faces of Yang Tiancheng and his son turned ugly again.
This was a stark contrast to Yang Tiancheng’s judgment.
Clearly, consumers were extremely satisfied with Jiangdi Lao.
There were virtually no negative reviews, only praise, and it was glowing praise.
Initially, he had thought that consumers were just being lured in by influencers to try something new at Jiangdi Lao, assuming interest would wane once the hype died down.
Now it seemed not to be the case.
Obviously, Jiangdi Lao had found a unique path.
That was supreme service.
This was Jiangdi Lao’s core competitive edge.
Normally, this wouldn’t be a big deal.
After all, even if consumers liked going to Jiangdi Lao for hot pot, it didn’t mean other hot pot restaurants would be out of business.
It’s not like everyone would go to Jiangdi Lao for hot pot.
Other hot pot restaurants still had room to survive.
There were various reasons for this.
Geographic location, pricing, taste, and so on.
However, Meiwei Hot Pot was different.
The Meiwei Hot Pot stores were right next to Jiangdi Lao, and they were the ones most impacted.
If people come near a Jiangdi Lao store to have hot pot, most would definitely choose Jiangdi Lao first.
Being half as expensive doesn’t really matter to people nowadays.
Even if some chose Meiwei Hot Pot, the number wouldn’t be significant.
“Tiancheng, what do we do now? Our hot pot restaurants are all next to Jiangdi Lao. Not many will come to our place in the future,” Liu Yujuan voiced her worries.
Yang Tiancheng furrowed his brows, remaining silent.
He had indeed been caught off guard this time.
He had hoped to undermine Jiangdi Lao by selecting a location right next to it.
He hadn’t anticipated this turnaround.
He really couldn’t think of a good way to respond.
“Dad, I don’t think it’s hard to solve. Jiangdi Lao implemented supreme service, we can do the same,” said Yang Jingsheng.
“That’s a good idea,” Yang Tiancheng’s eyes lit up.
The core of Jiangdi Lao was supreme service.
If Jiangdi Lao could do it, their Meiwei Hot Pot could also manage it.
There’s no issue of plagiarism and being sued here.
Jiang Bottom Fishing has it, and so does Meishi Hotpot.
The taste is almost the same, and the price of Meishi Hotpot is even cheaper than Jiang Bottom Fishing.
Wouldn’t this be able to turn the situation around?
I must say, it’s really a great idea.
Yang Tiancheng looked deeply at his son, “Jing Sheng, it seems you’ve learned your lesson from last time, and you’ve found the core solution to the problem at once. Not bad, very good indeed.”
Yang Jingsheng said proudly, “Of course, who do you think I am? If it wasn’t for the guy I found not being up to scratch last time, it could have been a success, and even if I hadn’t managed to rent Zhao Hai’s shop space, I could have still tarnished his reputation.”
Yang Tiancheng did not respond, last time’s incident truly showed his son’s incompetence, the tactics were too childish.
But his son had already been punished; there was no need to bring it up again.
He said, “Fine, I will arrange it tomorrow so that all the servers in our stores receive training to roll out the related services.”
At this moment, Zhao Yulu came home.
“Yu Lu, where have you been? It’s almost eleven o’clock. Why are you only getting back now?” Liu Yujuan asked.
“I had dinner with my colleagues,” Zhao Yulu replied.
“You found a job?” Liu Yujuan asked.
The fact that Zhao Yulu had resigned from the bank was commonly known by the three of them.
“Yes, I have,” Zhao Yulu nodded in response.
“What company is it?” Liu Yujuan probed further.
“Jia Sheng Media,” Zhao Yulu answered truthfully.
“It’s the Jia Sheng Guild from Douyin, right?” Yang Jingsheng was informed about the situation.
Jia Sheng Media Company is, in fact, Jia Sheng Guild.
Just like Fengcai Guild, it’s essentially Style Media Company.
“This is a large guild. On Douyin, it’s one of the largest guilds. What do you do there?” Yang Jingsheng asked.
“I’m the vice president,” said Zhao Yulu.
“What! Vice president? How’s that possible? You’ve just graduated not long ago. How could a large guild hire you as the vice president?!” Yang Jingsheng exclaimed, his face full of disbelief.
It wasn’t that he was looking down on Zhao Yulu, but rather it was the reality.
Zhao Yulu had just graduated not long ago and to directly become the vice president of a large guild seemed impossible to anyone.
Yang Tiancheng, however, had a glimmer in his eye, as if he had thought of something, and asked, “Your position as vice president, does it have something to do with Chen Guanglei?”
Zhao Yulu looked at Yang Tiancheng and nodded, “Yes, Chen Guanglei’s father’s company has wholly acquired Jia Sheng Media, and he asked me to be the vice president.”
“I see,” Yang Jingsheng suddenly understood. “I was wondering how they could hire you as the vice president. Since it’s been fully acquired by Chen Guanglei’s father’s company, and considering how much Chen Guanglei likes you, it’s not strange at all for you to become vice president.”
Suddenly, something occurred to him, his eyes lighting up, he continued, “Yu Lu, Dad’s hot pot chain is facing some difficulties now. Jiang Bottom Fishing is Xu Yang’s, as you know, and it’s very popular now, all due to the streamers’ promotions. We’re discussing ways to solve this, and I’ve already thought of one. It is to emulate Jiang Bottom Fishing’s ultimate service. As long as we launch ultimate service, we should be able to turn the situation around. However, to quickly recover, we still need a bit of promotion. Now that you are the vice president of Jia Sheng Guild, surely you have many top streamers. Could you arrange for a few of them to help promote us?”
Hearing his son’s words, Yang Tiancheng’s eyes also shone with anticipation as he looked at Zhao Yulu.
If streamers could promote without cost, that would be fantastic.
It would definitely make Meishi Hotpot famous in the shortest time.
Same ultimate service, but with lower prices at Meishi Hotpot, it could certainly snatch the business from Jiang Bottom Fishing.
Zhao Yulu gave Yang Jingsheng a look before saying, “That’s no problem, but money still has to be paid as the guild isn’t mine. I’m just working there; I can’t have those top streamers promote for free. They charge for ads, and if I don’t, it will make it difficult for me to manage them later on, and it might even upset Chen Guanglei.”
This reason was simply impeccable.
Although Yang Jingsheng was somewhat displeased, he couldn’t refute it.
Especially since Zhao Yulu brought up Chen Guanglei at the end, he had even less to say.

Yang Jingsheng said, “Dad, what do you think…”
In the end, the decision was left to Yang Tiancheng.
Yang Tiancheng had also considered bringing in internet celebrities for promotions, otherwise if the situation persisted too long, the boss would surely be unhappy.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, “Alright, send me the advertising rates for a few top streamers from your guild tomorrow, and I’ll take a look.”
Zhao Yulu nodded, “Okay.”
