That night, there was a crazy grilling of wings outside Ximen.
"You two are so arrogant. You said you wanted to treat us, but you made us wait here for so long?"
It was Li Moyan who complained. In order to thank her for her timely rescue today, Lin Yi specifically asked Li Jianguo to ask her for a late night snack.
This place was chosen by her senior sister. The reason why Li Jianguo brought his roommates here when school started was because of her recommendation, so there was no change this time. In addition, she also brought Wang Yuqi, who worked with her today.
However, something went wrong on Lin Yi's end. After the dinner delivery period ended, he needed to immediately take stock of today's delivery situation and then pay part-time wages. This was agreed upon when recruiting people to dispel doubts, and the day's wages would be paid on the same day.
hair.
The casual takeout website was built by him alone. When it was launched, the functions were still very imperfect, so there was no automatic reconciliation function and he could only rely on his manual reconciliation.
However, Lin Yi found that he had underestimated the complexity of this matter, and Li Jianguo was unable to help.
Especially today's orders were unexpectedly large, so by the time he finished the accounts and paid his wages, it had already been a long time before the time agreed upon by both parties. Li Moyan almost thought that these two goods were going to let him go.
Fortunately, after Lin Yi and Li Jianguo explained the reason, Li Moyan did not continue to be embarrassed. She is not a carefree character.
Lin Yi was really hungry after being busy for so long. Li Moyan and the others had been sitting there for a long time without ordering, so he just picked up the menu and scrolled down, and then loudly wanted to join in:
"Boss, take your order."
This store is also one of the first online merchants on the Yiyi Takeout website. The boss said hello to them when he came over. After checking the order, he quickly sent it to the kitchen and gave away a side dish for free.
"You ordered a lot, you look like you're starving?"
"Meals happen to be the busiest time and I can't take care of them at all. Now we have afternoon tea for lunch and midnight snacks for dinner."
Li Moyan smiled: "I thought this treat was very sincere, but it turned out that you two took us along when you were having dinner, right?"
Lin Yiye explained with a smile: "That's not what I said. If there were no senior sister today, our first shot at Jingdian would have been silenced. This is sincerely true."
"Okay, I won't tease you, but have you fired the last shot?"
Li Jianguo took over and said with a slight exaggeration: "Didn't I just tell you that Lin Yi took so long to settle the accounts because there were too many orders!"
"Sister, guess how many orders we delivered today?"
Of course Li Moyan would not cooperate with him in such a boring guessing game, but Wang Yuqi, who had been silent just now, curiously asked: "How much?"
Li Jianguo stretched out a palm: "More than five hundred orders!"
Student Wang Yuqi obviously had no idea about this amount, so he asked in a more understandable way: "Is this a lot? How much did you earn?"
Li Jianguo looked to Lin Yi for help, because he was not the one who settled the accounts. He could brag, but he had to be the real owner.
"Technically speaking we haven't made any money yet."
Lin Yi explained his business strategy to them: "The unit price of college students' takeout is not high. Counting the transaction volume, the website has a total of several thousand dollars today, but these are not our income."
"Our income is mainly divided into two parts. One part is the delivery fee paid by the person who placed the order. These are immediate, but after paying the wages to the part-time delivery staff just now, there is not much left."
"Because I don't plan to make money from them, the delivery fee for my website is relatively low, so it is only used to cover the operating costs, mainly for the delivery staff."
Wang Yuqi asked again: "Then how do you make money?"
"This means that our other income is the store fees collected from merchants."
"But because the effect cannot be determined before going online, we have agreed with the first batch of merchants that we will only charge after the orders reach a certain number."
"Like Lao Yang from Xiaonanmen Malatang, the set of computers and playback machines in his store were second-hand goods I bought in Zhongguancun. They cost me one thousand and fifteen dollars, and they have to be included in his bill."
"Judging from today's results, it is obviously no problem for us to meet the charging standards, but this income has not yet been realized."
Wang Yuqi seemed to understand. These things were a bit too complicated for a freshman, so she still didn't understand: "How much is it?"
Lin Yi did a simple calculation in his mind and replied: "If we have to quantify it, I can think of it as making a few hundred yuan today."
Wang Yuqi thought for a while, a few hundred a day is equivalent to ten thousand yuan a month? It doesn't seem like a lot.
But she didn't say these words.
Li Moyan thought further than she did. Making a few hundred a day now doesn't mean it will be at this level in the future. If they only plan to build Jingdian's food delivery market, there is no need to bother building this website.
The senior sister asked two things: "Can today's order volume be maintained in the future? If so, you will need to recruit more delivery personnel soon."
Lin Yi shook his head: "I guess the order volume may not be as high as it is today, because we have been vigorously sweeping buildings and promoting it in the past three days, and many people only support it for the sake of alumni. The specific results will have to be observed for a few more days."
"Beijing Electric has 2,000 students in one class, and the total number of undergraduates, masters, and doctoral students in the school is more than 10,000. This ratio is not low. In fact, college students still mainly eat in the cafeteria."
"However, we still have to recruit delivery people. On the one hand, after today's test, we found that we need to reserve more transportation capacity."
"In addition, this kind of part-time job is actually very mobile. Although I have only been working for a day and no one has asked to leave, I still have to prepare for a rainy day."
There is another reason that Lin Yi did not say, which is that recruiting more people can prepare for future expansion to other nearby universities. He is confident that he can absorb these labor forces.
Li Moyan realized that they had already thought of many situations, so he nodded. Lin Yi knew that this meant recognition.
She asked again: "How long do you estimate it will take for the order volume to stabilize?"
"About a week should be enough. After all, the market size of a school is only that big."
At this time, the shop owner happened to bring out the barbecue plate. The four of them did not ask for wine, so Li Moyan picked up a meat skewer and said:
"Then let's use this to celebrate your success."
Li Moyan was also happy about their success. Not to mention the invitation they sent before, now this merit medal already has his own contribution. At least his face with Lao Yang did not fall to the ground.
The remaining three people also picked up one each, and then gestured to each other as if they were clinking glasses, and they all laughed.
After a small sense of ceremony, Lin Yi thanked Li Moyan and Wang Yuqi again, and then finally came up with the second purpose of today's meal. He mentioned the old things again:
"Senior sister, are you willing to reconsider the invitation Jianguo and I made before?"
