BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1828 Advertising
But of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, if they were to showcase their products and thrive from it, the Dungeons and Pandas would get a small commission fee. Not much, just a 1 Yuan charge for each product they sold off. But any product or product that was sold for less than 50 yuan would not be charged.
Meanwhile, there were also advertisements that had dynamic QR codes to allow them to take pictures of and enjoy discounts in Tree Mall shops as well. One of them even posted that one of those QR codes had yielded him Panda Coins and some people took this chance as if it was some treasure hunt, getting all the QR codes and looking at all the advertisements just to get that small amount of free Panda coins. It was a win win situation for both the Dungeon Supplier stores as well as the advertisers.
And since the new subway train instance had been up only recently, Qiu Yue continued to explore how best it is to present those advertisements to make sure they are not intrusive and yet immersive enough to entice the customers. Qiu Yue believed that with System's technology along with their own NPCs and minions, there is no doubt that it would be even easier to create their very own advertising department to grab the major brands by their 'balls'. After all, those companies can skip the 'middleman' and go straight to the Qiu Yue almost instantly.
Of course, this would be additional work for her but she knew that there was one person who would be extremely interested in this kind of job and that was none other than one of Kraft's Foxes, Kiyu. When the little fox heard of this role, she was delighted to take it up but Qiu Yue repeatedly told her that it was for the future and they also needed to see if the advertisements had an impact or not. If there is no uptick in sales from the sponsor's end (since they could know how many people view the ads from the QR codes and Pandamonium App links, they are able to know whether the advertisement spaces they rented were effective or not.)
In the meantime, Qiu Yue asked Kiyu to study the advertising space and see how it could be improved which of course the latter yawned at that subject. To her, all she wanted to do was to create but Qiu Yue told her that if she did well, Lynn could offer her more food on a regular basis. "You… are so evil. To use food as bait."
"You a fox, using food to entice you is perfectly normal. I applaud Jin's foresight to get such a wonderful chef by our side."
"I wonder though, if she could match with the expectations of those who set the standards of this world," Kiyu asked and Qiu Yue gave a fuzzy smile.
"Don't you think those are overrated? They purposely get those awards so that they can jack up the prizes for their food. I doubt Lynn wants that kind of recognition."
"Didn't she have some chef boyfriend previously and she worked like mad to try to get him?" Kiyu asked and Qiu Yue tried to recollect only about it.
"Yeah…she did. But things got somewhat messy. In any case, I think she is happy with what she has right now. Why change something when everything is proceeding so smoothly?" Qiu Yue asked and Kiyu shrugged her shoulders.
"You know how our shop is getting popular, right?"
"And? Get to the point."
"There were a few guys who came and asked Lynn to join their restaurants and it starts to get ridiculous that it seems like they are courting her, always asking her to think about the offer," Kiyu explained.
"So you believed that they are here to not just scout her but hope that she joins under some ranked chef that will so call elevate her up?" Qiu Yue asked and Kiyu nodded her head. "Then, why don't we ask her ourselves?" Qiu Yue commented as she immediately dialled her up through the System's channel.
"No, not interested at all. They did put out names saying that they wanted me to work under those chefs. They said that their chefs were impressed by my food. Yada yada yada. Obviously, I rejected all of them."
"Why though? If you become a ranked or named chef, you can definitely raise the bar for food quality in Dungeons and Pandas. Not just normal folks will swarm to eat your food, even those rich bastards too. And they have money. Don't we all want money?"
"Haha. Of course, we want money, right Lynn?" Qiu Yue said and Kiyu was confused.
"Yeap. With enough money, I can request the System to buy more of those out of this world high tech fridges. Maybe a chi regulated oven as well but that one my penguins will complain if they need to stand there just to get the oven up… haha" Lynn said as she decided to take the role of washing dishes since she was talking to them.
"Anyways, serving rich people or normal folks. I am still serving people. As long as they enjoyed my food. I am good with it. Besides, why in the world I would want to move away from this place? We have so many different ingredients to try from other worlds. By getting the ingredients to taste right or maybe taste different and yet still within the acceptable range, is a type of privilege that no other chefs are able to have."
"Not to mention, you don't have to make things overly complicated. For example that pork bun that Lynn sold. To the majority of people, they have certain expectations for a taste that has already been known. Change the taste too much, people might not like it." Qiu Yue said as she picked up the pork bun that was right in front of her as the analogy.
"However, keep the taste the same. Tweak it a little. Make the pork a bit more chewy, the bite of the bun a bit more puffy, and the smell of the bun a little more fragrant. And what do you have for such a product? Lots of money." Qiu Yue said as she took a bit and stuffed the rest into Kiyu's mouth.
"She is right. All you need is to have that edge to make customers continue to come back to you. And yes sure, the current selection of ingredients Earth has can make that happen. But if I can also experiment with other world's ingredients, I do not see a reason why take a small shortcut to achieve what I cannot do?" Lynn replied and she admitted that she can be lazy at times too.
"Gosh, if Lynn considered herself lazy then what is Jin?" Kiyu put her hand on her mouth as if she found out something horrible.
"Yeah, Jin is lazy." Both girls said the same time and they laughed. Lynn turned off the communication leaving Kiyu and Qiu Yue alone once more.
"However, I think we should be a little more assertive in protecting Lynn. I do not think those scouts and headhunters would give up." Kiyu said.
"Don't worry. Lynn can protect herself. Have you forgotten her hundreds strong army of penguins? All of them are capable of holding two choppers and a bomb at their back, willing to kill anyone who dares to hurt her."
"Oh lol, you don't say. I wish I had such companions too. Boohoo" Kiyu remarked with a sad face.
"When you start working on your advertising department for real, then perhaps I might be able to spare some people for you like how I started to send the Otter Village from the Giant World to help Lynn."
"I thought they were being elusive and only wished to stay in their own bubble? Some of the Giant World Tribes had decided to come out and work?"
"They have to. Jin had been too nice to them, giving them free meals. But it's also because of that kindness, it allows me to manipulate them to feel guilt. Therefore, they started working too. Muahahaha" Qiu Yue laughed evilly.
"Oo wa…looks like however became a boss even though it is just a temporary position for you, turns evil," Kiyu said and then asked where Jin had been.
"To Grandma Yuan's place. He said he wanted to sort out the Exorcist's school for real and get it implemented as soon as possible. I managed to do some stuff for him on the side, but ultimately, he had to have control of the place, since he is supposed the Headmaster of JODE's new training school centre."
"Then it looks like we will be expecting even more traffic from this school. Maybe Itori can come to take a look and even help Jin with it since she is working in the education department at Demopolis!"
"Perhaps. We will see how Jin's meeting with Grandma Yuan goes once more."
"Probably another scolding and maybe beating," Kiyu said and Qiu Yue agreed.
