The Huangmen Chicken Incident, which had been dormant for half a month, suddenly became popular again due to a tasting event.

But when viewers who disliked Xu Yi and wanted to Xu Yi rushed in, they were dumbfounded.

No.

Is this guy really going to spend so much money on a bowl of Huangmen Chicken?

[Negative emotions +100]

The packaging not only displays green food and organic food labels, but also reflects the company's highest standards.

In the food industry, national standards are a basic requirement. If a factory cannot even meet national standards, it means that it cannot guarantee the most basic food safety.

Following the national standards are the local standards and industry standards.

Brands that meet this standard have only gained a slight competitive edge, while corporate standards are standards that companies themselves raise in the face of fierce market competition, in order to demonstrate their own brand competitiveness.

When a brand dares to use its own corporate standards to formulate relevant regulations, it means that they are willing to accept market scrutiny and are not afraid of being targeted.

In layman's terms, regulating oneself according to corporate standards is like hanging a bonus on one's own doorstep; anyone with the guts to challenge can try.

Winning brings fame and fortune; losing brings ridicule.

After the explanation, the Livestream Viewers were immediately in an uproar.

After being poisoned by the Huangshi Group for so long, can we finally eat safe vegetables again?

"I'm guilty! I shouldn't have questioned Xu Yi. I thought he was just trying to ride the wave of popularity, and that he was no different from other businessmen. My conscience has truly been stolen!"

"Family members, this is a true streamer who Livestream Viewers like family! After being battered by society for so many years, I never imagined that I would feel the warmth of family in a small streamer!"

"Xu Yi, from today onwards, if anyone dares to call you 'Xu Chu,' I'll fight them to the death. You're practically a saint in the realm of abstract art!"

[Shock Points +100 +100 +100]

In the Livestream Room, the barrage of comments praised Xu Yi to the skies.

The Livestream Viewers participated in the tasting event, however, practically worshipped Xu Yi.

This is so delicious! It's the same Huangmen Chicken, but what was that stuff I used to eat?

It's fast food, but this feels like a state banquet.

It has a tender and smooth texture, is flavorful, and most importantly, every ingredient is very fresh.

How exactly was that done?

The answer was soon revealed.

After the taste test, the first group of guests were invited to tour the factory.

After donning dustproof suits and undergoing three layers of disinfection and protection before entering the production line, people were stunned.

"Holy crap, how come Huadu Ice City Technology's top-of-the-line food production line is here? Isn't this their flagship product? The CEO himself said at the press conference that it would never be sold. Am I seeing things?"

[Shock Points +10]

"Are you seeing things? It's not just Bingcheng Technology's production line; look over there at that fully automated assembly line—that's Maidekaosi's production line!"

"It's not just the production line. Look at the workshop sign above! This is a Class A cleanroom! The dust level cannot exceed five micrometers per cubic meter. This is a dust-free workshop used to produce nanochips. How could I be allowed to eat fast food here?"

As more professional Livestream Viewers joined in, the onlookers, who were just watching the spectacle, suddenly became a little uneasy.

"Waaaah, Xu Yi, stop! Everyone outside is broke. You've made the equipment so expensive; Poor Bro don't deserve to eat here!"

"I'm in the industry, and even the top food factories probably don't all meet this standard. This is definitely not the cost of fast food!"

"Xu Yi, you don't actually think this Poor Bro has a few bucks in his pocket, do you?"

"At this rate, Huangmen Chicken will truly become the standard for the wealthy!"

"Are you guys upstairs being ridiculous? You were the ones complaining about the safety, but now that it's safe for you, you're complaining that you can't afford it?"

"No way, no way, does anyone really think that just because Huangshi Group sells at a high price, it meets safety standards? Haven't the previous food safety tragedies taught you a lesson?"

That evening, Song Qinghuan was busy until midnight before he finally finished receiving the first batch of users who participated in the event.

Back in the room, before Song Qinghuan could even have a drink of water, he hurriedly grabbed his younger sister.

"What did Mr. Xu say? Did I perform well?"

The younger sister had been keeping an eye on Xu Yi's movements, and upon hearing this, she immediately nodded.

"Mr. Xu was very satisfied with our performance, but he also offered some suggestions."

Upon hearing the first part of the sentence, Song Qinghuan had just breathed a sigh of relief when his heart suddenly jumped again.

Opinion?

Is there something I haven't done well enough?

"If there's anything I didn't do well, I can fix it right away!"

Song Qinghuan immediately said, and his younger sister handed him a document.

After taking one look, Song Qinghuan was suddenly stunned.

Isn't this a cost estimate and a letter of intent for market analysis?

"Sir, do you feel that our costs are too high and our selling price is too low, making it difficult to recoup our costs?"

Song Qinghuan speculated.

The factory renovations and production line expansions were all carried out according to Xu Yi's requirements, using the highest standards.

The cost is indeed too high.

It's normal for the gentleman to feel it's inappropriate.

But if standards are lowered, food safety and quality will have to be compromised. Can Xu Yi accept that? Can the audience accept that?

Huangshi Group Strategic Headquarters.

Huang Xingren, with his two assistants in his arms, was dreaming about a yacht and a mansion, making the young woman giggle.

"Boss, that little streamer has been causing quite a stir lately. Won't she interfere with your vacation plans?"

The assistant said in a sweet, coquettish voice.

"Little anchor, you mean that guy surnamed Xu? He's nobody! I'd be surprised if he could even affect a single toe of mine!"

When Xu Yi was mentioned, Huang Xingren's face immediately turned as sour as a rock in a latrine.

"But I heard that his factory has already started production, and it's still making Huangmen Chicken, and the audience feedback has been quite good."

Huang Xingren's face darkened even further, as if he had been holding back a stone in his intestines for half a month.

"What's the use of doing well? The key is to cut costs and increase profits! Don't be fooled by that kid's big fanfare; once it goes public, he'll be cursed to death. With such high costs, can his audience afford it? Do those poor bastards even deserve such good food?"

As he spoke, Huang Xingren couldn't help but lick his lips, looking slightly guilty.

Just now, he ate a bowl of Baiwei Chicken, which he had stolen at great expense.

I must say, this is really good; it's the best Huangmen Chicken he's ever had.

But what's the point of it being delicious?

Will they sell?

Will customers buy it?

"Boss, you're amazing! You really think long-term!"

The two assistants said admiringly, their eyes sparkling.

Huang Xingren laughed heartily, but after only two laughs, a phone call came in, immediately ruining Huang Xingren good mood.

"What did you say? Xu Yi released a video saying he'll definitely be able to make fast food affordable for everyone, no more than twenty yuan, and he won't lower the standards?"

"He's a pig-brain, and are you a pig-brain too? You believe everything he says?"

"After 30 years in this business, do you think you don't know that higher standards mean higher costs? Selling a bowl for 50 yuan, no, even 100 yuan a serving would be considered impressive!"

"You're saying it might really be twenty yuan? There's no 'what if.' Forget twenty yuan, if it's less than one hundred yuan, I'll slap someone Big-Mouth Slaps live on air. Even if it's just one yuan below that price, I'll slap them across the Big-Mouth Slaps until it reaches that price!"

The two assistants' lips twitched as they watched Huang Xingren cursing.

For some reason, they suddenly felt that the room smelled a bit bad.

It's like someone had an intestinal obstruction and the stool went back into their mouth, causing them to spew feces.
