Chapter 157 – 157 The Final Ultimatum

Actually, if you really break it down, the cost of making this kind of fish fillet is a mere two yuan, and even five yuan a piece felt a bit expensive to Chen Yu.

In Chen Yu’s view, so-called gourmet food should be delicious enough that the average person can afford to eat it.

The same dish, casually priced at several hundred, even thousands, or tens of thousands, serves no purpose other than inflating one’s own status.

It could even make customers turn away.

The most famous Peking duck and steamed buns in Suzhou City borrowed their so-called ancient fame to set prices unaffordable to ordinary people.

This caused a crisis, and in just a few short months, more than half of their branches had shut down.

Since the people of Tianfu Street insisted on opposing him, Chen Yu decided to cut the price of the fish fillet directly.

Before long, amidst everyone’s praises, this kind of fish fillet completely took off.

The self-media sent by Tianfu Street also became free advertising machines.

Former regular customers flocked to buy it, treating it as a little snack after their meals.

Suzhou City Tianfu Tower.

A corpulent man paced back and forth in his office with his hands behind his back.

“Where did this guy come from? How did he come to know the secret recipe of our signature dish?”

The others beside him were silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to even breathe.

The former master chef looked devastated as he sat there, appearing somewhat dazed.

Just then, a secretary rushed into the office in a flurry.

“Mr. Wu, I’ve found out. This man is named Chen Yu, the owner of Yuya Bansheng Park. He has participated in many world-class competitions and has the title of a special-grade chef.”

Those present were stunned for a moment, especially Wu Qiangsen.

Having run Tianfu Street for so many years, he never imagined such a thing could happen.

A special-grade chef who had participated in world-class competitions possessed an energy that was completely incomparable to that of a chain hotpot restaurant owner like himself.

If the chef wished, it wouldn’t be just about knocking down the price of his signature dish; it would be effortless to reduce the prices of all the dishes in his restaurant.

“Quick, tell those self-media people to pull back immediately and delete all the videos they’ve taken.”

Wu Qiangsen knew all too well that Chen Yu was someone he couldn’t afford to provoke.

The secretary next to him didn’t dare delay, hurrying to call the self-media staff outside.

After pacing in the hall a few more times, Wu Qiangsen suddenly rushed to the master chef, pointing at his nose and cursing furiously.

“It’s all your fault, you just had to provoke such a person. Even if we sell all of your shares, we can’t compensate for our losses.”

The master chef looked up, his eyes filled with anger.

“My fault? I was simply trying to learn from them normally; if you hadn’t sent a bunch of self-media to cause trouble at their doorstep, why would they target you?”

Wu Qiangsen was left speechless and could only gesture to his subordinates to go buy some gifts.

All that remained was to go and offer an apology.

If they truly provoked a full-on response, Tianfu Street, which he’d operated his entire life, might go bankrupt completely.

At eight o’clock in the evening, the customers at Chen Yu’s store gradually dispersed.

The staff, along with three chefs, prepared the staff meal and cleaned up together.

Although the fish fillet was a new addition, sales of other categories had not dropped at all.
