From a barbecue stand to a global gourmet tycoon

Chapter 182 The Big Stomach King Competition
Many things need to be consulted and discussed.

However, the format of the Big Eater Competition cannot attract the attention of the upper echelons of the food industry. The Big Eater Competition is about appetite, not taste, and you are your own boss and organizer. Anyone who sees it will know that it is you. marketing.

The matter was quickly settled.

It didn't take long.

When Chu Hao was playing with his mobile phone, he would often see promotional advertisements for his home.

The investment is not much.

But he chooses to watch with a purpose.

The areas are all in the food court.

In the past few days, the anchors and up hosts of more than a dozen food courts, as well as the self-media copywriting and videos of some platforms, can see the signboard of Chushi BBQ.

Those up masters also worked hard one after another.

A Qifan advertisement is suddenly inserted in a seemingly normal video content, and then the barrage floats by...

"Run!"

"Warning! Warning! There is food ahead, everyone run!"

"3: 42 seconds to locate and skip the ad!"

"Thanks Command!"

"Thanks Command!"

Chu Hao smiled wryly when he saw this. The up owner recommended his own bacon. As the boss, he saw this advertisement for Qiafan and thought it was perfect. But generally speaking, it is difficult for passers-by to let them watch the advertisement. The conversion rate is unknown. How about it, but this up master is a big guy with 800 million fans, and she is also a slow-growing and beautiful younger sister. She often updates some food and broadcast videos, brings some comments, and listens to the chewing sound.

Watching beautiful women eat is actually a kind of fun.

At least it can make people feel happy.

In addition, this up owner is still from Xijiang, and his appearance...not to put it off, it is very delicate and attractive, even the appearance of eating is not ugly, and he is perfect in front of the camera.

"What are you looking at?!"

Suddenly, Lu Chenyu attacked him from behind and put his arms around Chu Hao's neck. Seeing that he was watching the beauty show, he immediately said angrily: "Okay, look at my sister behind my back?"

Her voice became high-pitched.

Chu Hao looked calm, and continued to look at it. The phone was confiscated, but he turned his head and glanced at her. He didn't know when he rushed into the store. He was wearing a soft date shirt and a navy blue ve sweater. , I don’t know how to make the two sleeves, they can be hung on her shoulders, the letter print on the chest and the small triangle stitching on the neckline, a pair of straight milk pants, the trouser legs are rolled up twice at random, and a pair of nb sneakers underneath. A black dumpling-shaped shoulder bag was straddled diagonally.

Today she wore two braids and put them on the back. The top of her hair was naturally messy, and she could still see a few dull hairs. Her face was red, as if she had put on special makeup, but it blended naturally on her face, which was quite cute. .

Lu Chenyu was looking at him with a frown, his eyes full of complaints.

Chu Hao kissed her small hand on her shoulder, "This is the up owner who advertised for us, I just see the effect."

Dragging the progress bar and placing it on the side of the advertisement for Qiafan, Lu Chenyu quickly recognized that it was bacon produced by the factory at home, blinked his eyes, and saw Chu Hao's half-smiling eyes, slightly flustered.

Then she sat next to Chu Hao without saying a word, glanced at him again, then raised her chest and turned her face away and said, "I...I don't know about it yet."

Chu Hao told her about the holding of Big Stomach King.

Lu Chenyu's eyes lit up: "Then can I participate?"

Chu Hao: ...

He took a look at Lu Chenyu: "When the time comes, all the professionals will come, you can't beat them."

Lu Chenyu thought for a while and then gave up. Indeed, it was not the fear of not being able to eat enough, but the fear of gaining weight.

She tutted and said, "Jiang Yigui has quite a lot of ideas, and the big stomach king gave her all the ideas."

Chu Hao: "This is also for the benefit of the factory and our store. Only after it is promoted will more people know about it. The purpose of holding a competition is to attract traffic. It is a food competition. This move is mainly for making money. It is very difficult to sell bacon, and it needs to be restored to blood."

Qin Jiangyi blinked: "Our bacon is so delicious, why can't it be sold?"

"Because the production cycle of pure natural products is long, labor, consumables, and sources of goods cost money at every step. Once they are made, they will be expensive to sell."

Lu Chenyu, she actually understands, because her family is not short of money, it doesn't matter if it is expensive, but for many customers, 83 a catty is really ridiculously expensive, and it is pork, you say you are other expensive meat I admit it, but what are you pretending to be like a pork here?

The price of a dozen or 20 yuan from a big factory can beat you to the ground.

Lu Chenyu sighed: "It's so difficult..."

Chu Hao said with a smile: "That's why the competition is held. The hard-to-sell items must be sold through hype. Through a series of foreshadowing and layout, let everyone come to fry our Chushi's bacon."

"Fried bacon..." Lu Chenyu swallowed.

Chu Hao had black lines all over his head: "This speculation is not that speculation."

What Qin Jiangyi thought was that since the price of bacon is so high, it might as well make it higher, but don't set the price yourself and let customers speculate on the price. This requires a lot of business operations. To Qin Jiangyi.

Before, he saw advertisements of his own home on the Internet, or videos of Qiafan, or live broadcasts with goods. The places that seemed to be out of reach were actually part of Qin Jiangyi's plan.

But Chu Hao understood the general plan.

It is equivalent to that diamonds are not worth much at first, but when the word love is bound, they are immediately worth money.

Bacon... emmmmm, it should be the same.

I just don't know how Qin Jiangyi will work.

Lu Chenyu: "Then... will the competition be held in the store?"

"Let's just stay in the store, because we have to control costs, so I'm too lazy to go out and rent a space."

In fact, Chu Hao still thinks it’s too expensive. If you want to save resources, you might as well do the whole competition online and broadcast it on several major platforms through live broadcast. In fact, you don’t even need a host. They are all here to watch the food show anyway. , who sees your host nagging beside you, it’s okay to ask for an explanation. All production should be completed in a fast-paced way, don’t procrastinate.

……

A few more days passed.

The news of the Big Eater Competition began to spread in some gourmet circles on the Internet.

This so-called gourmet circle does not mean that all content producers are professionals.

Many up hosts or anchors are not chefs or restaurant owners, but ordinary people.

The prize money for the champion is 10 yuan, which is not a small amount. If you win a meal, you will get the money back. Who would not like to come on such a beautiful job?

As a result, contestants from major cities began to gather in mountain cities.

However, although they only stayed for one day, Chu Shi BBQ was solely responsible for the expenses. This was another sum of money, and Chu Hao felt very painful, but he still believed in Qin Jiangyi. She said that if she could recover blood, she would definitely recover blood.

Most of these contestants came alone, some brought their husbands or wives, and some brought their assistants.

The game itself did not cause much disturbance offline.

Even if it's online, it can't reach the popularity of hot searches, because it is only a game fixed in a circle and field, and it doesn't have the terrifying traffic like professional e-sports. The food circle was indeed very popular when the live broadcast industry started Awesome, but after so many years of doing it, I have long been lonely.

No... I can't say I'm lonely, I can only say I'm saturated.

It has such a large traffic pool, no matter how much you promote it, it will not break through the traffic ceiling of the gourmet circle itself.

Now if you just glance at the Internet, the food circle is full of eye-catching content, such as king crab... all kinds of weird, big and expensive ingredients, there are not many serious food reviews, but the theme of big stomach king is still relatively good. strong.

Chu Hao and Qin Jiangyi met all the contestants at the hotel.

They were accompanied by Lu Chenyu and Chen Yuxin.

Go to the hotel lobby, where the contestants wait.

They don't know many people with each other. One or two people sit and chat together, talking and laughing. Most of them are doing their own thing, sitting on the sofa and staring at their mobile phones. What Chu Hao didn't expect is There are more girls than boys.

"Everyone."

Qin Jiangyi went up and clapped her hands, attracting everyone's attention.

"Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Chu."

Chu Hao: ...

He was still a little uncomfortable with the title.

But today, he dressed up specially to meet the contestants. A white base T-shirt, a brown sweater, a light khaki-breasted jacket, and the same color gray straight-leg pants and white sneakers underneath.

It's relatively refreshing, but it looks handsome when worn on Chu Hao's body.

The eyes of the men and women present lit up.

The younger sisters stared at Chu Hao, while the boys stared at Qin Jiangyi.

What kind of fairy boss is this?

The face value is too high, right?

"Tomorrow's competition will be live broadcasted on several platforms, and a commentary version will be produced and broadcast online later. The champion of this competition will receive 10 bonuses, the runner-up will receive 5 bonuses, and the third runner-up will receive some consolation prizes. It's not for nothing Let’s take a trip, everyone is a person who has made great achievements in the field of eating and broadcasting of the big stomach king. You have been cultivating in this area for many years. Everyone in the city knows it, and you guys have watched Li Xiaoqing’s new documentary recently, the barbecue restaurant of Mr. Chu is the one in the first episode, it’s very popular.”

Several contestants nodded.

Some of them have already watched the documentary, but as for Uncle Shancheng, not many people know about it.

"Huh? The first episode of the documentary... belongs to Mr. Chu's family?"

"Boss Chu is amazing!"

"I remember that my friend recommended me to come to the mountain city to play before. The recommendation was an uncle's barbecue restaurant. Is it Mr. Chu?"

Chu Hao nodded and said with a smile, "It's me."

The person who asked him was Lizhi, one of the first people in this line of business to be a big eater. She was obviously very interested in Chu Hao's shop.

"Why are you called Uncle?"

Chu Hao said: "Because all my guests like my sister."

Sister Lizhi chuckled, and everyone around her also smiled.

Qin Jiangyi said from the side: "Before the competition, everyone signed the agreement, and also advertised our Chushi's barbecue restaurant and bacon chicken chili. How do you think it tastes?"

"The bacon is delicious, and it doesn't have the strong factory smell like others."

The speaker is Ah Shui, and the so-called factory smell is actually the smell of additives.

Chu Hao's bacon doesn't have this.

"Chicken chili is very authentic. I'm from Guizhou Province. It's delicious when I take it."

The person who spoke was Fengfeng, and he was also the up owner of the evaluation section of the food circle.

Although this competition is a big eater competition, the live broadcast will not waste food, and everyone who can't finish eating will kill it together. Anyway, there are so many people in the store, and it is said to be a big eater, but not all the contestants invited are big eaters. stomach king.

The competition itself was not simple. Chu Hao felt that there might be some favor transactions involved, involving interests. Qin Jiangyi promised to explain it to him afterwards.

It may also be that the pure big eater competition is too high-profile.

It has been severely cracked down on the Internet before. The big eater misleads consumption and wastes food seriously.

Sure enough, this time Chu Hao didn't see those few who were severely cracked down and transformed, and the people who invited them were all very popular nowadays, such as food evaluation, restaurant exploration, carbon water godfather, food re-enactment, etc. The food and broadcast of outstanding themes in the series circle.

The game is secondary, and drainage is the main thing.

The big stomach king competition is just a gimmick, and even the online audience can tell that among the people invited this time, there are not many real big stomach kings.

Thinking about it now, maybe even the prize money for the championship and runner-up has already been set by default.

Chu Hao always felt that this was a bit bad, but Qin Jiangyi sponsored the competition all by himself. Although he took the general, but if he didn't contribute money, he could do whatever she wanted. Qin Jiangyi is both a shareholder and a friend. It is impossible to do something that will affect the reputation of Chu Shi.

After chatting with the contestants for a while and agreeing on the schedule for tomorrow, Chu Hao and Qin Jiangyi left the hotel.

"Any questions?" she asked.

"Yeah, but I believe you." Chu Hao smiled.

Qin Jiangyi also smiled, "These people represent not only themselves, but also the companies they signed behind. We didn't spend much money on promotion, but we found a lot of people in terms of contacts and reached a stake. Most of them are organized by the online food circle, and I am not alone. The agreement I signed with them just now is also a long-term agreement, and you will understand later that it can bring about many things.”

Chu Hao didn't ask any more questions, because Qin Jiangyi's favor was spent secretly here.

He was quite touched and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Qin Jiangyi waved her hand, "Tomorrow will not affect your business. The competition will start in the afternoon. You should prepare all the ingredients you need, and you need more."

"Don't worry, everything is ready."

……

The next day.

After the breakfast shop closes.

With the guests leaving one after another, the game is about to begin.

The anchors came by car and got off at the entrance of the Chushi BBQ restaurant. Chu Hao was already tidying up the venue and sweeping the shop again.

The film crew of the platform also arrived.

When the shooting is already in progress, the scenes before the game will be cut into tidbits and broadcast on the Internet, and the live broadcast will be broadcast only after the game starts.

Seeing so many people pouring into the store, everyone was very nervous.

Chu Hao rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile: "Don't worry about it so much, our task is to concentrate on roasting, come on, let's start!"
