Chapter 183(1/2)
"I told you there's no need, why are you so bothered? Get out."
October 9, morning.
Zhang Nong led his team to promote the EatMe takeaway platform system at a Pizza Hut restaurant, but was kicked out by the manager inside.
The classmates who were pulled into the promotion team by Zhang Nong looked dissatisfied and muttered: "This manager is really nothing. When we go in, we all order first and then talk to them about business after eating. This is already polite enough.
As a result, every time he sees us finishing our order, he turns his back on us and refuses to recognize us."
"We've seen a lot of people like this." Another classmate curled his lips, "The more famous the restaurant, the easier it is for people inside to be like this. Let's try something else."
"The more popular shops around the school have basically been taken over." Zhang Nong flipped through the documents in his hand. The catalog was full of shop names, corresponding addresses and contact information. "Now we only need these few comparisons."
A reputable store.”
In just three days, Zhang Nong has successfully convinced other stores around the school based on the takeout data from more than a dozen stores in the early stage.
On the first day after the launch of the Eat.me takeout platform, although the sales of each store increased slightly, the effect was not obvious yet.
But as Lu Pengyou and Jian Jiashu gradually stepped up their promotional activities, and organized manpower to sweep the buildings at night to promote the food, the Eat.me takeaway platform quickly spread among the students on campus.
So, on the next day, the dozen or so nearby stores that participated in the E-Me platform suddenly experienced a surge in takeaway sales.
Originally, there were only thirty or forty takeout orders in one day, but on the second day, almost all the takeout sales exceeded 100!
Food like hand pancakes, which is easy and quick to make, even sold two to three hundred takeout orders, almost breaking the boss's arm.
So, with these data in hand, Zhang Nong successfully got the idea of settling from the shop owner who had previously refused to settle.
On the third day, the number of merchants on the Eat.me takeout platform suddenly increased from 13 stores to 34.
It has covered almost all the stores closest to Min Da.
In addition to large fast food restaurants such as Pizza Hut and KFC, as well as some high-end restaurants.
Among them, the former is because it has its own takeout delivery platform, so it basically refuses door-to-door harassment from Chime.
The latter focuses on dine-in food and basically does not provide takeout service, so it is natural to exclude Chime.
"Anyway, let's put these stores aside for now. Let's focus on other things for the time being." Zhang Nong said this, and the phone in his pocket vibrated.
He took out the new mobile phone Xu Xing had given him on the pretext of work needs and opened WeChat. There was a message from Xu Xing.
[Xu Xing]: I submitted an application form related to entrepreneurship support to Lao Wu before, and today a document was just approved, providing us with a storefront.
[Xu Xing]: I'll send you the address. It's next to the school gate, but the location is a little off. There are usually less people, so I haven't rented it out yet.
[Xu Xing]: It can be used as an office space for employees, and can also be used to rent electric vehicles to delivery workers. Remember to make arrangements for these.
[Zhang Nong]: Okay, Brother Xu, I’ll bring someone over right away to clean it up first.
[Xu Xing]: Oh, by the way, Lao Wu has said that we can start our own business, and we can ask for leave at any time, but we can’t fall behind in our studies. For subjects with midterm exam scores, our scores must at least reach the passing mark. Is that okay?
[Zhang Nong]: I don’t have any questions. Brother Xu also remembered to remind Brother Lu and Brother Jian that I took the time to study on my own during the weekend. If you don’t understand anything, you can ask me.
【Xu Xing】: That’s okay, you can go and do your work.
[Zhang Nong]: Brother Xu, wait, I have something else to ask.
[Xu Xing]:Huh?
[Zhang Nong]: Now that most of the shops around the school have settled in, what should we do next? Should we continue to look for shops further away?
【Xu Xing】:Of course not.
[Xu Xing]: Now let’s do a good job in Minda’s business. I’ll give you half a month to adjust, study and sort out the management model of the food delivery platform.
[Xu Xing]: This thing is not something you just bring in a store and pile up the number of users.
[Xu Xing]: You may encounter various problems during this period, including what to do if the merchant's delivery is slow, what to do if the delivery person spills the lunch box in the middle, or even the delivery person secretly eats the takeout, or the electric car is stolen while picking up the food.
Or maybe the person who ordered takeout didn't answer the phone for a long time.
[Xu Xing]: These emergencies will happen later. You must be prepared and come up with a response plan.
[Xu Xing]: Do your best internal work in the early stage, at least for more than half a month. After you sort out all these internal problems, it will be the time for us to continue to expand.
[Zhang Nong]: What about stores like Pizza Hut?
[Xu Xing]: Don’t worry, they will only actively ask to join in the future.
…
In the office, after Xu Xing finished his conversation with Zhang Nong, he sent another message to Wu Zhiguo.
[Xu Xing]: Teacher Wu, I told Zhang Nong, please bear with me in the future.
[Wu Zhiguo]: Haha, I can be regarded as lending him a favor. If he has any problems in this area in the future, just ask him to come to me directly.
After submitting Xu Xing's application form for entrepreneurship support and approval at a meeting with the hospital leaders, counselor Wu Zhiguo was appointed to serve as the liaison and instructor for their food delivery platform support plan.
In recent years, it is quite common for students to start entrepreneurial projects in the field of Internet+.
Wu Zhiguo didn't say much about Xu Xing's personal situation at the meeting, so the college leaders simply thought it was just an entrepreneurial project for ordinary college students, and after a brief discussion, they didn't pay much attention to it.
If the food delivery platform develops well in the future, it may be able to receive publicity and awards from departments and even schools, but it has not been launched yet.
After all, Chimei has only been online for three days, and the user registration and usage rates have not yet fully developed their potential. Everything still needs time to brew.
【Xu Xing】:Okay, I will tell him later.
[Xu Xing]: In addition, Teacher Wu, I am still in the company at the moment, so I have asked for leave for the afternoon class.
[Wu Zhiguo]: You'd better go to class and don't take down too much homework.
[Xu Xing]: Basic programming subjects are basically meaningless to me... Teacher Wu, don’t forget what I do.
[Wu Zhiguo]: Uh... I forgot about this.
Just thinking about the platform outside, Wu Zhiguo almost forgot what this guy's main business was.
If you were able to develop a game before school started, your computer skills must not be a big problem.
In this way, the university courses are probably not too difficult for him, and it doesn't make a big difference whether he goes to class or not.
[Wu Zhiguo]: Okay, but if you want to take leave every day, you still have to report it to me, so don’t take it seriously.
【Xu Xing】:Okay.
[Xu Xing]: Also, Teacher Wu, what do you think of this WeChat app?
[Wu Zhiguo]: Not bad? It’s not as fancy as QQ, and it looks much cleaner.
[Xu Xing]: Would you recommend it to all the teachers in the office? Relatives, friends, and school leaders can also recommend it.
[Wu Zhiguo]: You treat me as free publicity, right? Is it possible that you still want to replace QQ?
[Xu Xing]: No, no, QQ is the big brother, and I still respect it very much.
[Wu Zhiguo]: You bosses really don’t tell the truth. How can a teacher deceive you?
【Xu Xing】: How could it be? Everything I said is true.
Wu Zhiguo looked at the message sent by Xu Xing and couldn't help but smile. He really liked the way Xu Xing, a student, communicated with him.
There is neither too much alienation or caution because of the status of students and teachers, nor does one feel superior to others because he is the boss of the company.
Wu Zhiguo couldn't help feeling emotional when he thought that he could meet such a figure like Xu Xing in his coaching career.
[Wu Zhiguo]: Okay, I can help you promote it, but whether people download it or not is another matter.
[Xu Xing]: Thank you first, Teacher Wu. I’ll treat you to dinner when I get back to school.
After chatting with the counselor, Xu Xing put down his phone and stretched out on his office chair.
Then he stood up, counted the three game planning plans on the table, and said to Peng Yuxuan at the door: "Find someone to come in for a meeting, group them according to the previous projects, and call in the Rhythm King project team first.
"
"Okay, Mr. Xu." Peng Yuxuan heard the order and immediately got up and went out to call someone.
Xu Xing stood by the window and stretched his body, looking out at the distant scenery.
In the past two days, the two projects "High Speed Rail Parkour" and "Exciting Skiing" that were prepared before have been handed over to Lei Wenyan and He Sitong respectively.
They have already had project experience in "Secret Escape" and "Happy Run" before. This time they continue to delve into the parkour theme, which can be regarded as support and training for them.
As for the other three new projects, "Rhythm King" and "Guard Carrot" will be developed by Gong Ao.
The former is a music mobile game made by tapping the notes that appear according to the rhythm of the music and completing a song like playing the piano.
The latter is a Q-version cute style tower defense game.
After Peng Yuxuan called all Gong Ao's team members in, everyone habitually brought their stools in and crowded into the office for meetings.
"Recently, the company has been looking for office buildings around it. Let's just feel aggrieved again." Xu Xing watched the employees take their seats and said with a smile, "When there is a new office space, there will be a dedicated conference room."
"It's okay." Gong Ao chuckled nonchalantly, "Mr. Xu, your salary and bonus are enough. I'm sure everyone has no other objections."
Everyone else would smile, but they didn't dare to make jokes like Gong Ao, but they were still very satisfied with the bonuses within Tianshu Game.
There is a 10% profit bonus pool for the first three months. Even if the number of team members is increasing now, it is still a very generous amount.
The only thing they are worried about now is whether their Mr. Xu can continue to lead Tianshu Games to success like the previous games.
To be continued...
