Chapter 754 - 261 Monthly Summary Report, "Milk Tea Girl" Event Launch

The Tea Color Moonlight milk tea shop’s staggering sales in its first month were primarily due to the strong support of Li Yuan’s fans. Otherwise, no matter how good the milk tea tasted, how nice the environment was, or how much advertising was done, it would have been impossible to achieve such an incredible result.

「December 23, 2008. Longyu Building.」

The newly decorated main conference room of Tea Color Moonlight was filled with over 150 people, all gathered for the first monthly summary report since the shop’s opening.

This office floor spanned over 3,000 square meters and was located directly above Datang Technology. The total price was around 40 million, and Li Yuan had made a down payment of 10 million to purchase it as the headquarters for Tea Color Moonlight.

With the rapid development of the Tea Color Moonlight milk tea shops, they were sure to expand quickly in the future. The original headquarters, at only 300 square meters, was far too small for office purposes. After discussing it, Li Yuan, Zhong Tingyue, Bai Weixi, and Su Yunting decided to purchase this office floor.

Zhong Tingyue was standing on stage, using a PowerPoint presentation to explain the monthly data for various Tea Color Moonlight products, along with issues raised in customer feedback.

"I just went over our revenue for the first month at Tea Color Moonlight. Now, I’ll talk about which products are most popular with customers.

"According to our back-end statistics, the highest-selling milk tea this month is ’Taro Cream,’ followed by ’Mango Pomelo Sago’...

"While we have achieved impressive results, we must not become arrogant or complacent. We should also be aware of the problems that currently exist. These are the issues we received from customer feedback surveys last week.

"The most common complaint was about the long wait times due to excessive queuing. The second was that our service couldn’t keep up with the high number of customers. The third was the slow delivery speed for some prizes won in the raffle...

"Overall, since the official opening of Tea Color Moonlight, we have achieved a ’great start,’ thanks to Director Li’s leadership and everyone’s collective efforts...

"Now, let’s give Director Li a warm round of applause to say a few words for us."

As soon as Zhong Tingyue finished speaking, the hundred-plus Tea Color Moonlight staff below erupted into thunderous applause. Every eye in the room, man and woman alike, was fixed on Li Yuan.

As employees of Tea Color Moonlight, they had naturally, to varying degrees, researched and learned about Li Yuan’s legendary experiences. The more they learned, the more astonished they became.

This was a genuinely brilliant man. Barely eighteen or nineteen years old, he had already carved out such a massive career for himself in Modu. He was the youngest, highest-earning Great Writer in the online literature space, a musical prodigy acclaimed in the music world, the founder of the Zhihu website, valued at one billion, and the boss of Tea Color Moonlight.

He already possessed a considerable reputation in Modu and even across the nation and was hailed as the country’s youngest multi-millionaire, with a net worth exceeding a hundred million.

Besides these titles, stories of Li Yuan’s romantic escapades also spread widely. He was known for dating several girlfriends at once, a fact that elicited envy, jealousy, and hatred from other men.

It wasn’t that no one had tried to attack Li Yuan over his lifestyle, but they all failed. First, Li Yuan wasn’t married, so he wasn’t breaking any laws. Second, when encountering slanderers, Li Yuan was truly willing to spend money on lawsuits. After all, he had more than enough money. Whenever he discovered unfounded defamation or malicious smear campaigns, he would randomly pick a few ’lucky’ individuals and serve them with a lawyer’s letter. Even if the law couldn’t punish them, he could certainly annoy them to death.

Amidst the enthusiastic cheers and focused attention, Li Yuan, dressed in an Armani suit Zhong Tingyue had helped him pick and wearing a Vacheron Constantin watch worth hundreds of thousands, walked to the podium amidst thunderous applause.

He looked at the hundred-plus young faces below. Forty or fifty of them were the first batch of employees, and it was their diligent work that enabled Tea Color Moonlight to achieve such results in its first month. The other hundred or so were new recruits who had just completed their onboarding training. Tomorrow, they would be heading to work at the 30 new milk tea shops.

Li Yuan smiled, raised his right hand, and pressed it down. The thunderous applause instantly ceased, and the room fell silent. Everyone waited with bated breath for him to speak.

Having experienced many grand occasions since his rebirth, Li Yuan felt completely calm and unruffled. He began to speak in a steady, measured tone.

"Just now, President Su and President Zhong covered everything that needed to be said. They did an excellent job, speaking thoroughly and with great attention to detail...

"I propose we give another round of applause, this time for every single one of us here in this room."

After speaking, Li Yuan led the applause. The hundred-plus people below followed suit.

Li Yuan glanced at the many young men and women below. Because of the high recruitment standards, they were a uniform group of handsome men and attractive women. While not at the level of a campus belle, they were still above average, mainly due to their height.

A few of the more beautiful girls were comparable in appearance to Wang Jierong and Xiang Qin Yanqiu.

The principle was ’you get what you pay for’. With the focus on physique and appearance, educational requirements were naturally relaxed. A junior high school diploma was sufficient, as long as they could endure hardship. This kind of service industry didn’t require a high level of education, aside from a few specific product design positions.
