The unfavorable start did not make Lin Yi too entangled.
Firstly, he doesn't have the aura of a king, and secondly, he doesn't have the world-class handsomeness. It's normal for others to worship him without them approving him, so the only thing he can rely on is his wisdom.
Lin Yi sat there and chewed slowly while tasting the Malatang. It was indeed delicious and unique, and it was a worthwhile trip.
After eating, he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he sat there with Li Jianguo, comparing which dish was more delicious.
In fact, he was mainly observing the operation of this store, because it was getting closer to dinner time and there were more and more customers.
He was silently thinking about how he could impress Boss Yang, but his thoughts were soon interrupted.
"Lin Yi?"
This unfamiliar voice came from a familiar girl, and it didn't take him much time to think that it was Cui Xiaoxue whom Zheng Xun had mentioned.
"Hello, Secretary Cui."
Although Li Jianguo was ignored, he still said hello. He observed with interest that he seemed to be expecting some gossip.
Cui Xiaoxue expressed her distaste for this title: "Call me Xiaoxue. I asked Zheng Xun in your dormitory before, why don't you seem to have come to class recently?"
"As you can see, I'm busy starting a business."
Lin Yi did not hide it. Once his website is online, everyone will know it soon. He also wants to get more support from his classmates.
Cui Xiaoxue was surprised. She had only seen entrepreneurship in celebrity biographies before, but this time she actually met a real person?
What was even more surprising was that Lin Yi had clearly just finished a portion of Malatang, and looked like he was joking.
"Now, here?"
"That's right."
Lin Yi looked calm, and then gave her a brief introduction to the entrepreneurial project of the food delivery website, as well as the failure experience of convincing Boss Yang just now.
"Sounds interesting. Did you make this website yourself?"
"It's kind of like learning and doing at the same time."
Cui Xiaoxue was also a freshman and knew nothing about technology, and Lin Yi's reaction was relatively cold, so she quickly changed the topic.
"You are from Lin'an, right? I told you on the first day of school that I am also from Zhijiang. Do you still remember? Have you ever been to Chuzhou?"
Chuzhou is located in the southern part of Zhijiang Province. It is famous for two treasures, namely celadon from Yue Kiln and sword from Longquan. Of course Lin Yi has heard about it.
"I have never been to other places in the province. In fact, it is my first time to leave Lin'an to go to university."
"Haha, I have never been out of the province, but I have been to Lin'an. You should really go to Chuzhou if you have the chance."
Cui Xiaoxue seemed to suddenly remember something: "By the way, I found a Zhijiang Association in school. There will be a dinner party organized soon. Do you want to go with it?"
"I'm afraid I don't have time, so I can't get started with starting a business."
Cui Xiaoxue finally found out that Lin Yi was a bit intolerant of food and salt. It happened that the spicy hotpot she ordered had already been prepared, so she picked it up and left.
Li Jianguo was still very proud of watching the show:
"I'm not talking about you, Lin Yi. Even if you have a girlfriend, you don't need to be so repulsive to others. It's so rude to girls."
Lin Yi ignored the melon-eaters who were watching the excitement: "If you are overflowing with love, you still have time to catch up and comfort her."
…
Of course, Li Jianguo was not that bored. At Lin Yi's request, the two of them visited the merchants door to door according to the list he had researched before.
Lin Yi discovered that many merchants here have already been exposed to food delivery websites, so they can understand it without much introduction.
This is normal. Are you hungry? They opened a branch in Beijing around the middle of last year, and universities are also their key focus.
The advantage is that Hungry? has already laid out the infrastructure for them when doing local promotion, such as computers in the store and equipment for ordering.
Lin Yi and the others can directly use this set of equipment, which is like a free ride on Hungry, and the merchants don't have to pay any extra money.
A win-win situation, this business is done.
From the perspective of merchants, they don't mind adding a new takeout website, but many people still have doubts about the identities of Lin Yi and Li Jianguo.
"Did you just say that you are still students?"
"Yes, we are students at Beijing University of Electronic Science and Technology. Look, this is my student ID card."
Lin Yi nodded secretly. It was not like Li Jianguo had not made any progress at all. The other party would naturally believe his calm attitude, because the store here is originally a student business and would not go out of his way to see the student ID card.
But the boss's reaction was beyond their expectations.
"Then you go out, we don't want to cooperate with you anymore."
Both of them were surprised: "What did you say, boss? Didn't we have a good conversation just now?"
The boss was very honest: "I can't trust you college students."
"In the past, every time there was an event in the school, someone from the student union would come over to solicit sponsorship, just like you do now."
"It was nice to say it at the beginning, and it helped us promote it at the event, and it gave us a name and printed flyers for us."
"They are not greedy. They want as much as three hundred and five hundred, but they disappear after taking the money."
"In the end, we don't know whether it was publicized or not, or even whether the event was held. Anyway, no one who came here to eat said they came after seeing the student union's publicity."
"The people in the student union change every year, and we don't know where to find them."
"So later when students came to solicit sponsorship, we were unwilling to pay attention to them. Some of them harassed them so frequently that it affected the store's business, so we treated them as protection fees."
The boss didn't know if he was recalling any unpleasant memories, but in the end he raised his finger and pointed at them with lingering anger:
"You college students are all liars!"
Lin Yi was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the dark history of the Sunzi gang in the student union would also affect the credibility of college students in this area.
"Boss, we are not here to solicit sponsorship. We are serious entrepreneurs. If you come to our website, at most no one will place an order. At least it will not cause any losses."
The boss waved his hand impatiently: "What's the difference? Aren't they all college students?"
"I'm not targeting your school. There are many universities in the area nearby, some of them are said to be key universities, and every one of them looks like a bird."
"Let's go. Let's go."
What a disaster!
Li Jianguo wanted to argue a few words, but Lin Yi could see that his boss was angry, so he stopped him: "Okay, boss, let's come back next time."
"Better not come!"
After going out, Li Jianguo was still a little unwilling: "Let's just forget it?"
"Of course not, we'll come back tomorrow."
"Why tomorrow?"
"The boss is getting emotional now. In fact, if he thinks about it calmly, he can understand that this matter is only good for him and not bad. Have you heard of Sangu Maolu?"
Li Jianguo felt that it was a bit exaggerated to treat such a small boss with such high "courtesy", but there was nothing he could do about it.
"Damn it, it's all those guys in the student union!"
In fact, it is not that there are no reliable people in the student union. Lin Yi thought of a figure, but did not remind Li Jianguo.
