Nanjing closed half an hour after its opening, long queues "alerted" the police to maintain order at the scene.

After the collective price reduction of new tea drinks, it was difficult to meet a cup of milk tea with a price tag of half a hundred, until this morning, when the tea was officially opened in Nanjing, scalpers made an appointment to purchase 200 yuan for a cup, and some people queued up in the early hours of the morning, and the related topics went viral on Weibo.

Some media reported that before breakfast was opened, people had already formed a long queue at the door, and some people began to queue at 04:30. Searching the Little Red Book platform for sharing related to tea color in Nanjing, a blogger sent out photos of the scene near the tea color Xinjiekou store at 08:32, with an article reminding office workers nearby that some entrances and exits have been closed, so pay attention to planning the route.

Many netizens expressed their views on the long queues for the opening of the business in Nanjing.

According to the Yangzi Evening News, notices of selling out began to be posted at various entrances five minutes before the official opening of the store at 9 o'clock. Customers who failed to line up at the scene were dissatisfied because they sold out before the store opened, and some people still had a fight at the scene because of a quarrel. After the scalpers posted a notice that they had sold out, they sold tea-colored milk tea at the scene, saying that they would take it and go for 200 yuan a cup.

According to a person familiar with the matter, the Xinjiekou Chayan Yue color store sold out and closed the entrance, not because the store was ill-prepared, but because of the disorder at the scene and received complaints from the masses.

In addition, queuing services for purchasing agents of Nanjing tea-colored milk tea have appeared on some trading platforms, with prices ranging from 10 yuan to 200 yuan. Nanjing Market Regulatory Bureau responded to this matter, scalpers purchasing agents is illegal, if you encounter, you can dial 110 to report to the police. Tea-faced staff said that it is not recommended to go to scalpers to buy, you can wait, Nanjing will open five stores in the future.

The temperature in Nanjing on August 18 can be as high as 38 degrees Celsius. When milk tea is made, in hot weather, with the longer it is placed, it is very easy to grow bacteria. It is not recommended to buy high-priced second-hand milk tea from scalpers.

Today, two stores in Nanjing opened at the same time, the Xinjiekou store was closed because of the excessive queue flow, while the Jiangning Jingfeng store was still in normal business, although it was noon, the enthusiasm of the crowd waiting in line had not abated, and there were still people standing in line in the heat. Jiangning Public Security online deployed police to help maintain order in the shopping mall at noon, and issued a police reminder on Weibo, sincerely advising members of the public not to wait in line today. "if you wait in line to drink, you can buy a lot of drinks."

In response to the appointment of 200 yuan for a cup of tea in Nanjing, the people's online commentary said that milk tea is just a drink and should not be overly "deified". With the promotion of brands everywhere and the inducement of social media, it is really difficult for consumers not to pay. It's just 200 yuan for a cup of milk tea and 200 yuan for scalpers, which is a bit too much. In recent years, we have seen too many long queues in front of online celebrity brands, and there have been many "but so" sighs. In the face of online celebrity brands, consumers need to be rational and "act according to their ability" so as not to let businesses lead scalpers by the nose.
