She could only smile tactfully and reply, "Oh yes, it's that person, it's me."
The shop owner immediately beamed with joy.
"Oh my god, I'm so lucky! I actually ran into a celebrity on TV. Um... can I take a picture with him?"
Chu Yu gave an OK sign. "No problem."
And so, with the shop owner in a state of extreme excitement, Chu Yu resold the sausage grilling machine for a high price of 150 yuan.
Meanwhile, Wen Zhixin, who nearly fainted from heatstroke, had been carried back to a special RV by staff.
Originally, all the guests were supposed to take the bus back to the hotel together, and the director was supposed to announce the results of the competition on the bus.
However, due to the unexpected heatstroke incident, the director dared not gamble with human lives and ultimately decided to let Wen Zhixin and her brother rest alone in the RV.
Chu Yu and Chu Chen only heard about this after they finished selling the sausage grilling machine and returned to the bus.
Chu Yu was immediately shocked. He never expected that Wen Zhixin and her brother would go to such lengths to win a mission.
The director stood in front of the car with a helpless expression. "This mission was indeed something the production team didn't consider thoroughly. In the future, when filming missions, the production team will definitely prioritize the health and safety of the guests."
From the production team's perspective, they were actually quite aggrieved.
At noon, the staff had specifically called Wen Zhixin and her brother to rest and eat, but the two refused to move. The staff couldn't force them to rest, which led to the heatstroke and fainting incident.
However, fans and netizens didn't care about the background; they only cared about whether Wen Zhixin's health had been affected today.
A flood of concerned inquiries filled the live stream, forcing the director to personally appear on camera to respond.
After briefly summarizing the lessons learned from this incident, the director began to calculate the profit and income of the three groups of guests for the day.
At the start of the task, each group of guests had a dedicated staff member to record the sales volume and profit margin of their stall that day.
Finally, after a unified summary by the production team, the profits earned by each group of guests reached:
Chu Yu Group: Net profit of 1,450 yuan
An Ya Group: Net profit of 1,230 yuan
Wen Zhixin Group: Net profit of 600 yuan
Although Wen Zhixin had already worked so hard that she had to lie on a stretcher, the production team couldn't give her special treatment. They still ranked her according to the normal task competition rules.
The live broadcast was temporarily interrupted because Wen Zhixin was rushed to a nearby hospital for a medical check-up.
Their fans had nowhere else to go, so they scattered and came here.
They were completely dumbfounded when they saw the final net profit ranking from the program.
How did Chu Yu and Wen Zhixin's group manage to sell for so much money?
[ The Wen Zhixin siblings worked so hard, yet they didn't even earn half as much as others. That's outrageous!]
[No, I'm just curious, are selling grilled sausages and cold drinks that profitable?]
In fact, netizens tend to see only the surface of things and overlook the essence of business.
The ultimate goal of business is to complete transactions and thereby make a profit.
The most important step is to successfully complete the transaction.
Imagine a product that, no matter how good or profitable, simply can't be sold. Even if it's praised to the skies, it won't earn a single penny.
Although grilled sausages and cold drinks have low profit margins, they have a large customer base, with consumers of all ages, including the elderly, adults, and children, having purchasing needs.
The target consumer group for jewelry is essentially limited to adult women.
In comparison, grilled sausages and milk tea, which rely on low profit margins and high sales volume, will naturally have an advantage.
These were some of the most basic common sense that Chu Yu had learned in the business world.
After announcing the rankings, the director continued the process, "The top two guests are still here. Now you can exercise your rights. The first-place Chu Yu group can choose the type of business they will start later, followed by An Ya's group, and finally Wen Zhixin's group."
Bubble tea shops, clothing stores, and bookstores.
The reason the program team provided these three store types as options was based on specific market research.
Currently, the most popular shops on the market are milk tea shops, followed by clothing stores, with bookstores ranking last.
However, the production team wouldn't leave the guests with a dead end, so the three types of shops offered by the production team each have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Milk tea shops may seem to be in high demand, but with a wide variety of services, profits are low, and they can only compete on volume, which requires a significant investment of time and effort.
Furthermore, with various types of milk tea shops emerging in the market, if you can't create your own original brand characteristics, you'll easily be buried by the market.
Clothing stores face similar challenges to bubble tea shops.
Nowadays, people have a greater pursuit and desire for beautiful clothes, so how to gain a foothold in the competitive market of e-commerce platforms selling various types of clothing is a key issue.
As for bookstores, there's no need to elaborate further.
The print media industry is not what it used to be, and the number of people who enjoy reading at a slow pace is gradually decreasing. Even breaking even and continuing to operate is a difficult task.
Therefore, considering all three types of stores, each type has its own difficulties and bottlenecks. How they will develop ultimately depends on the guests' own business decisions.
Having the first choice, Chu Yu remained silent, turning to Chu Chen to indicate that he should choose first. "Any thoughts?"
The reason Chu Yu was so interested in the program's final theme was that he wanted to use the game recording process to cultivate Chu Chen's business acumen, laying the foundation for him to take over the Chu Group business in the future.
After a morning of setting up a stall and comparing the final rankings, Chu Chen tentatively voiced his thoughts. "Should I choose a milk tea shop?"
