Oh, you guys can come in. Okay, it's our 21st birthday. Should I do that or should I do that? Wait, you have an Alexa? I'm supposed to get that. Anybody want a condom though? It's a balloon. It's a balloon. You want your receipt? Uh, sure. Thank you. Thank you. Bye. All right guys, we are officially closed. Employee meeting right here. All right guys, let's see how we did today. All right. Guys, we probably made so much money today. We did $81 in revenue. Bring it up, boys. We need to add up how much money did we spend to make this $81. All right, guys, so according to the numbers, we spent $25,000 and we made $81. Woo! Yeah! So guys, I spoke with the investors 30 minutes ago and they said they weren't happy. Apparently, we lost over $24,000. That's outrageous. Okay. Guys, I don't care what you think. It's what our investors think. So I was able to secure another $10,000 in funding. But they said something has to change. Change. Change. That's the solution. What? We have to change. How much should we charge? A penny? A penny. Jesus. Penny. All right, guys. Tomorrow we're reopening. Whole new stocked inventory, but everything's a penny instead of a dollar. So it's super early in the morning and we're restocking for day number 2. What do you got here? I've got a blender. Next thing we're going to sell is Pac-Man. Whoa. Oh, this is a sloth. I love sloths. Let's get— Here, Tareq. It's a bad catch. Do you think the profit margins on a Switch would be high enough? Let me check my graph. Yeah, I think so. All right then, let's spend about $2,000 on Switches. We'll make like $5 off that. This store is gonna do so well. Mark my words. Next thing is PS4s, but don't get it misconstrued. Just because they're PS4s doesn't mean I'm not gonna sell them for a dollar. These things right now are $400. Our store is going to be 400% off. Is that how math works? Now the only game sold in our store is Fortnite. Fortnite's a free game. No, it's not, you idiot. I know for a fact this would sell for a dollar. This would sell for a dollar. This would sell for a dollar. I definitely just don't want these myself. This boy is funny. Let's get some mini arcades. Guys, we should totally put this in the store, but like, I won't buy it or anything. Can I have all 4 of these? Sure. How much are they? $800? Do you think I'd be able to sell them for a dollar? Easily, I'll buy one. Awesome, I want them. Alright, buddeez. Alright guys, we're preparing for day number 2 launch. Things are no longer a dollar, everything is now a penny. I got my trusty sign and my thingamajig. Get some people to come to my store. I'm gonna get more people in the store than we ever had before. No, you're going the wrong way, go back. Alright, that got the job done. I think we'll get about 3,000 So we took the investors' money and we bought a lot of stuff from the store. And on top of that, I even put some of my own products here. Guys, I'm gonna be honest, if we don't turn a profit today, I don't think the investors are gonna go for a third round. But we need this. You could be out of a job if we don't pull a profit today. All right, but Chandler's just a 15-year-old child. Oh wait, is this child labor? You shaved, now you look good. We are officially open! I just want to be a meme. That's That's why I'm here. I'll pay you a dollar for that though. Just bring it to the registers, is how this works? Yes, they only take pennies. Thanks. Oh, thank you. I found my penny, sir. I have a penny. Thank you. You got 2 pennies. Oh, it's really a penny, not a dollar? It's a penny today. Stop! Wow, thank you so much. Thank you. I can afford this shit finally. Welcome, everything is 1 penny. I thought it was a dollar. That's even better. Ma'am, what did you get? Oh, a TV, but now I'm starting to think if I Did I want the laptop? He has a penny. All my pennies are from the ground. Meeting. Meeting. Meeting. Meeting. Meeting. Obviously our penny promotion didn't really get out there. I think we just revert back to a dollar. A dollar? The investors will be happy. Yeah. Oh, nice. What did you get, sir? A lot of pennies. A lot of pennies. That's a little heavy. Here's your receipt, sir. Have a great day. All right, man. He's rocking the new merch. Oh, already with the new merch. Hold on a second. Hold on a sec. Where'd you get this? ShopMrBeast.com. Wait, what is this? Canadian. That's fake, buddy. Canada isn't real. Get him out of here. Kick him out. Out. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Kick him out of here with the product. We need some, uh, we need to sell some Fortnite. If you could, uh, help drive some sales to this Fortnite section. Look, I got a new deal for you. Comes with a Canadian dollar. Canadian dollar that we have no clue how much it's worth. Take the dollar. Yeah. And you give him his receipt. Here's your receipt, sir. Please come again. Thank you. Please come again. Chandler, switch with me. Your job's stressful. It'll be $1. Sir, what did you get? Got me a Slurpee. Yes! I got about like 100,000 balloons and I get a free bin. Oh, that's what I'm talking about. He got that for the lady. Can I get a status report? How much up? Dude, honestly, we're almost on track to beat yesterday. What'd you get? Pac-Man. How much did you get it for? A dollar. Oh wow. One whole dollar. See, look, receipt. MrBeast. We're running low on items. Ran into the same issue yesterday. I'm getting a bucket of Orbeez. I just watch MrBeast all the time. I decided I want to fill my own backyard with Orbeez. Oh wait, we have a merch buyer. Yes sir. Actually, give it the merch store for free. We don't charge for it. Have a good day, sir. Thank you, MrBeast. Woo! Toaster for $1. Hey, we finally sold a toaster. We sold a toaster, guys. We sold a toaster. Here's my dollar. Place. Thank you so much. You're going to want this. Oh wow. Yeah, the rest of it's over there. Is it? We're going to make this sale for you. You know you want this mannequin. You got to hold it all up. I think you want a bunch of matches. A bunch of matches. Oh, there you go. Thank you guys. Do you accept cards? Dollars. Oh, this is awkward. Oh no. Oh, is this your dollar? Did they fall from the ceiling? Oh, I think it did. I have been blissed. Have a great day. You too. So we're basically pretty much sold out of everything at this point because we don't really have anything left. So no more dollar, no more penny, no more— that was terrible. I'm leaving. I got a code for MrBeast. And there you have it, guys. Our store is empty. All right, pop the cash register open. All right. Wow, look at all that bread. Let's count it all up. $176.20. All right guys, the second day is over. Here's your financial reports. So as you guys know, the first day we spent $25 grand and we only made like $80, which is not bad. The second day we spent $10 grand and we invested a lot of our own money with leaf blowers and all our products, brought them in, and we made $176. Look at that. Phenomenal. Lured them in with a flash sale, then we hit them with the dollar when they were least expecting it. Why doesn't everybody do that? Even though we invested some of our own products, I talked to the investors and $81,000 plus $170,000 something is only like $250,000. And— that's a lot. Which is great. They gave us $35,000 in total. So they're kind of mad because they gave us $35,000 and now we're only giving them back $250,000. Well, you guys, I'm sorry to tell you this, but we're out of business. They're not giving us another funding round. Chandler, buddy, you're out of a job. What? And it's time to put the store out of business forever. What would you do if you walked in the store and this is what you saw? I can't stop this feeling.
