Chapter 185 Cat Cafe?

In a flash, evening arrived, and the coffee shop was almost ready to close for the day.

The manager, Lin Zhu, tallied the coffee shop's revenue for the day, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

Today's coffee shop revenue was significantly higher than usual.

She thought back carefully and seemed to have found the reason.

She got up and found Song Xia and Su Dan.

"Sister Song Xia, Teacher Su, today's coffee shop revenue is much higher than usual. I've noticed that many new customers today were attracted by the cats before choosing to buy coffee."

"Don't you think we should use these cats as a breakthrough to attract customers to the coffee shop?"

Song Xia and Su Dan, who were discussing Zhou Mei's Maid Cafe proposal, heard Lin Zhu's suggestion and thought about it carefully.

It seemed that what Lin Zhu said was indeed true.

A portion of the customers who consumed at the coffee shop today seemed to really like the cats placed next to the potted plants; a large number of those people were young women who came in pairs.

"Using cats to attract customers, how do you plan to do that?"

Song Xia looked up at Lin Zhu. She and Teacher Su were considering making the new coffee shop into a Maid Cafe model.

Now Lin Zhu suddenly offered another method of using cats to attract customers.

Lin Zhu heard Song Xia's question and explained her thoughts.

"Today, the cats were placed in a somewhat cornered and inconspicuous spot. Many people entered the coffee shop and didn't even notice the cats' presence."

"I think we can try placing the cats in a more prominent spot and see what the effect is."

Su Dan considered it carefully. Compared to a Maid Cafe, using cats to attract customers was clearly a safer bet.

After all, they could directly introduce the cats into the current coffee shop to see the effect and determine if this method was feasible based on the results.

But a Maid Cafe was different.

According to the plan given by Zhou Mei, it would be difficult to experiment with a Maid Cafe in the current coffee shop, as the current staff were not very familiar with cosplay.

Also, these staff members were very resistant to wearing those cosplay outfits. And for the decor, a Maid Cafe also had specific requirements.

To implement Zhou Mei's plan, they would have to open a new coffee shop, decorate it according to Zhou Mei's plan, and recruit staff who could cosplay.

But in that case, there would be no chance for trial and error, and it was uncertain whether a Maid Cafe could truly open up the market and turn the coffee shop's losses into profits.

So she and Song Xia had been considering this issue.

However, Lin Zhu's suggestion of using cats to attract customers lowered the cost of trial and error. The cats were readily available and could be directly introduced into the shop to test the effect.

If it was truly feasible,

Then they could completely create a coffee shop in a branch that could use cats to attract customers.

After some thought, she ultimately prioritized Lin Zhu's suggestion. Only if the method of using cats to attract customers proved unfeasible would they then consider Zhou Mei's proposal.

"Okay, then tomorrow we'll put these cats in a more prominent spot."

Su Dan nodded, agreeing to Lin Zhu's suggestion.

However, in her heart, she felt somewhat helpless about both Lin Zhu's suggestion and Zhou Mei's Maid Cafe plan.

Even if these two coffee shops truly managed to turn a profit, they wouldn't really be considered pure coffee shops anymore.

She hoped more that the coffee shop would truly attract customers based on the taste of its coffee or its reputation.

However, at present, relying on normal operations, there was simply no way to quickly boost the coffee shop's reputation.

They could only resort to these special methods, at least to get the coffee shop's name out there first.

"Since we've decided to use cats to attract customers, let's go to the pet store later and buy some treats and other things for them."

Song Xia saw that Teacher Su had already agreed and looked up at Lin Zhu.

She was very fond of cats and naturally understood that to increase the cats' appeal, they would naturally need to add more small toys for interacting with the cats.

"Okay!"

Lin Zhu heard Song Xia's suggestion and instantly understood Song Xia's meaning.

Monday,

Cangxue Games,

Fang Chang, Wei Yan, and Zhao Bowen were sitting in the office.

"What should we do? What do you think about the netizens' demands?"

Fang Chang looked up at Wei Yan and the other, his eyes filled with hesitation.

Ever since the game costumes prepared for old players and noble players were launched two days ago, a large number of Snowy Sky players had been calling on the forums for Snowy Sky to restore the noble system, wanting those noble costumes.

Some even contacted Snowy Sky's customer service.

They also checked the forums and in-game, finding that the costumes they launched were very popular.

However, due to them being limited editions, new players simply couldn't obtain them, so some players started calling game customer service or @ing their official accounts on the forums, demanding the noble system be re-listed.

This made them very difficult, as restoring the noble system would go against the current game philosophy, and if not handled well, it could lead them back to their old ways.

But if they didn't meet the demands of those people, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the players.

"I think we don't need to worry about those players. Although there are quite a few players calling for the re-listing, compared to Snowy Sky's current player base, they are just a small portion."

"Snowy Sky's revival was entirely due to the removal of the noble system, which made the game more balanced and gave ordinary players a better gaming experience."

Zhao Bowen stated his opinion.

Restoring the noble system was definitely not feasible, and those players advocating for its restoration were, after all, a very small portion of affluent players.

Compared to this small portion of affluent players, the much larger base of ordinary players was clearly more important.

Fang Chang heard Zhao Bowen's words, nodded in agreement, and then turned to Wei Yan.

"Director Wei, do you have any thoughts?"

Wei Yan heard Fang Chang's question, pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

"The noble system absolutely cannot be restored; this point is absolutely unchangeable. However, I believe that the players demanding the restoration of the noble system also cannot be completely ignored."

Although he didn't have a deep understanding of the game, he knew that since those players were requesting the restoration of the noble system, they were definitely prepared to spend money.

These players should definitely be retained if possible.

"But how do we manage it?"

Fang Chang asked, puzzled. He also wanted to accommodate those game players, but he hadn't thought of any good way to do so.
