"Thank you, Lin Yi." Cui Xiaoxue walked to him and said solemnly.
"Thank you for what? I also want to teach him a lesson."
In fact, Lin Yi really has no interest in competing with people like Huang Tao. It is only now that his business has just started that he has a wishful thinking of "you can do it and I can do it too". Soon he will no longer have any thoughts of comparison.
Already.
"I know you are not doing it for me, but at least your bet also includes seeking justice for me, so it should be counted as my share."
Lin Yi saw that Cui Xiaoxue was quite serious, so he said: "In that case, let's save this thank you for the day when he formally apologizes."
"Okay, I believe that day won't be too far away. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know."
Huang Tao also heard this and sneered.
In fact, he was playing a trick, because there was no agreed time limit in this bet. Now that Lin Yi's takeout business has been launched, he felt that it would take some time to overtake him.
And in the worst case scenario, even if he encounters some difficulties and may not be able to surpass Lin Yi, at least he can use the excuse that "time is not up" to get away with it.
Just ask how to lose?
Of course Lin Yi didn't expect Huang Tao to take advantage of this loophole, but to be honest, he wasn't worried at all.
He simply didn't take Huang Tao seriously.
After what happened, the atmosphere of this class dinner could no longer be maintained. It ended quickly and everyone dispersed.
On the way back to the dormitory, Zheng Xun felt quite embarrassed.
"Lin Yi, Jianguo, I'm sorry. You came here to compliment me today. I didn't expect that Huang Tao made such a fuss."
Li Jianguo waved his hand: "Damn it, my brother, if you say this, you will see others."
Of course Lin Yi wouldn't blame him: "Don't talk about Lao Zheng like that, he disrupted the dinner party you worked so hard for."
"well……"
Zheng Xun was also a little worried: "Why do you think this Huang Tao is such a person? I didn't see it before. I have a pretty good impression of him."
Lin Yi didn't have this problem at all: "There is no need to consider this kind of problem that is destined to have no results. Some people have known each other for a lifetime and only found out that they had missed each other before they died. How many days have you known him?"
"You just need to know that the difference between people is sometimes greater than the difference between people and dogs. It is normal not to understand each other."
As soon as Lin finished speaking, he realized that it was a bit redundant. Lao Zheng didn't need him to teach him this truth.
Sure enough, Zheng Xun quickly put down the problem, and then started to worry about him and Li Jianguo: "What about the bet between you and Huang Tao? How about I go to Teacher Wan and ask him to talk to Huang Tao, and then let it go?
?”
Li Jianguo gave up now: "Why should I give up? I'm still waiting for that guy to apologize."
Lin Yi asked: "Old Zheng, do you think we will lose to him?"
Of course Zheng Xun didn't mean this: "I just think this bet is unnecessary. It's just a trivial matter. Whoever loses will look bad."
As the squad leader, he still has to think about the unity of the class, but Lin Yi and the others no longer have this worry.
"It is indeed a small matter, but we did not initiate the conflict. On the contrary, withdrawing now will only embolden his arrogance."
Zheng Xun knew that he could no longer persuade him, so he sighed again: "Well, are you confident that you can defeat him?"
It's not that he can't trust Lin Yi and Li Jianguo, but he is very self-aware. He is a rare mature person among his classmates, but Lin Yi is the only person he can't see through, and he really knows nothing about the business field, so he doesn't make any assumptions.
.
This time Lin Yi gave a very clear answer:
"Let's put it this way, we don't regard Huang Tao as our opponent at all. If you can't even compete with something like this, there's no need to spend so much time building something, just go to bed as soon as possible!"
Zheng Xun looked at the status of Lin Yi and Li Jianguo and could only choose to believe that of course he was on the side of his roommates.
…
"I heard about it."
Zheng Xun is a very competent class leader, and nothing can be hidden from him in the class.
"This guy Huang Tao spent two or three days thinking about a business project, and now he has warmed up the boys in the class, except for our dormitory."
Lin Yi didn't say anything. He was actually not interested, but Lao Zheng also had good intentions.
Li Jianguo sneered: "What can we come up with in just two or three days? Lin Yi and I have been busy for a month, not counting the time he spent making the website."
Zheng Xun told everything he had learned: "It is said that he is planning to open a charity self-service store, mainly selling stationery."
"As for this so-called love, he claims that any profits generated by this project will be donated to Project Hope, and he himself will not earn a penny."
"The so-called self-service means that he will place the counter directly downstairs in the dormitory, and there will be no one to guard it. He can do all the shopping, payment and change by himself."
"What do you think?"
This plan is not complicated and sounds somewhat reasonable.
The group of college students is relatively simple, and quite a few of them can be said to be overflowing with love. The rhetoric of "donating all profits" can naturally win their favor.
Selling stationery is nothing more than pens, notebooks and other small items, and the unit price will not exceed ten yuan. Even if there is no one to watch, who would take advantage of such a small advantage?
Lin Yi shook his head, thinking that the guy could come up with some clever trick: "This project can't be successful."
Zheng Xun asked sincerely: "Why?"
"You are too optimistic about human nature."
Lin Yi gave his argument: "The prerequisite for the success of this project is that all customers consciously abide by order and trade fairly."
"You don't think it's a problem because the school is full of teachers and students from key universities, and you think their character should be trustworthy."
"That may be true in broad daylight, but what about in the dead of night? If you know that there is money within your reach, can you really remain indifferent?"
"Even if you can do it, it doesn't mean that others can, especially if you know there will be no consequences if you take it."
Zheng Xun was not a fool, he thought about it and had to admit that what Lin Yi said was right.
"As for charity donations, first of all, they must be able to make money and make profits before they can be considered donations. It's a bit early to brag about this now."
"Secondly, even if everyone is very supportive of his love and it turns out to be a profit, is his promise enforceable? Who will supervise whether he really donated it?"
"Doing good is doing good, and business is business."
"Taking a step back, doing good deeds can certainly be done with a lot of fanfare and should be rewarded in terms of reputation, but it's better to wait until after you've done it than to write a charity check in advance."
Lin Yi really didn't do it out of prejudice against Huang Tao, but purely based on objective facts to make this nonsense plan worthless.
Finally, he felt distressed: "I seriously suspect that the reason why he opened this self-service store was just because he was too lazy to sit behind the counter and collect money."
"After all, that guy doesn't seem to think highly of small traders. I'm afraid he still thinks that college time should be used to enjoy life."
