Huang Tao's actions were not slow. Not long after Zheng Xun found out about his plan, his so-called "love self-service store" had already opened.
Lin Yi saw this thing downstairs in his dormitory. Specifically, it was an ordinary bookcase divided into three or four floors, with some commonly used stationery placed on each floor.
On the side of the bookcase, a piece of conspicuous red printing paper reads the donation commitment of the "Love Self-Service Store", as well as the business method of purchasing by yourself and checking out by yourself.
There is a small drawer below, which is used for cashiering. Customers need to put their money into it, and some small-denomination bills have been reserved in it for change.
This is because mobile payment is not that popular now, and everyone still uses cash.
If Lin Yi were to evaluate such a thing, it wouldn't even be called "crude", it should be said to be "inexplicable".
However, students coming and going were still curious about the appearance of this new bookcase, and many people stopped to look at it.
This "love donation" idea was indeed well received by everyone. Lin Yi guessed that they did not expect that this was just the wishful thinking of an ordinary classmate, and thought it was a charity activity carried out by the school.
In short, some students who happened to be in need of stationery consciously left their payment in the drawer after purchasing.
Next to Lin Yi was Li Jianguo, who commented: "At least it seems like it can still operate normally."
What happened now did not surprise Lin Yi, and the test had just begun.
"Just wait, his good days are yet to come."
Not to mention that the road between enemies is narrow, the two of them just stood and looked at each other for a while when passing by, and the real owner Huang Tao also appeared.
After all, living on the same floor in the same building, it is inevitable to bump into each other up and down.
"Then thank you for your kind words, Lin Yi, haha, if you give up now, it's still too late."
This guy looked very proud, and he was really impressed that he could come up with such an idea in such a short period of time.
Am I the legendary business wizard?
The meeting between the two parties this time was not as tense as before, but it was not amicable either. Lin Yi pushed back with neither force nor softness:
"I'm afraid I'm not that tolerant. Regardless of whether you surrender voluntarily or not, I will insist on your request to apologize to us."
Huang Tao snorted unhappily, probably wanting to compete with Lin Yi and revealed another piece of news:
"Don't be too proud. Although you gave me food early, I have already opened three such self-service stores in the school at one time."
"You won't last long!"
The reason why three bookcases were put in at one time is because the school dormitories are distributed in three areas, so that "full coverage" can be achieved.
Huang Taozhi is very proud. Although the cost of stationery is small, the speed of delivery shows that his financial strength far exceeds that of ordinary classmates.
Lin Yi didn't feel nervous at all, but kindly reminded him: "This can only mean that the amount you will lose this time is even greater."
Huang Tao finally realized that his goal of "strategic deterrence" had not been achieved, so his expression turned cold: "I hope that the day you come to me to apologize after losing, you can still be as tough-talking as you are now."
After he finished his talk, he walked away angrily, while Lin Yi shrugged indifferently.
…
Li Moyan has not been following Lin Yi and Li Jianguo in their "Future Food Delivery Empire" recently, but is busy with his own affairs.
To be precise, it is this year's school-wide chorus competition. The preparations for the School of Computer Science's participating teams must of course be organized by the student union.
As the current director of the Public Relations Department and an important cadre of the student union, not only is it her job to solicit sponsorship, but the training, logistics, etc. of the team are also inseparable from her support.
Today's chorus competition ended successfully, and her work finally came to an end. As usual, she went to the Xiaonanmen Malatang.
"Lao Yang, give me one as usual."
She said hello as usual, and after walking into the store, she found an unknown young man standing inside.
She was familiar with both Lao Yang and his wife. She had never seen this person before, but she quickly realized that he was probably the nephew I mentioned last time.
When Lao Yang heard the commotion and came out, when he saw it was her, he pointed to the table casually: "Sit down wherever you want, come on."
Li Moyan sat down without seeing anyone else, then looked around inside and out, and found that some changes had taken place in the store after not seeing him for several days.
Although the store has not expanded, there was originally only one pot of soup base for cooking Malatang, but now it has two pots and an extra helper.
It was almost past meal time and there was no one else in the store. Her portion was quickly brought out by Lao Yang himself and he asked naturally:
"How about the choir competition?"
The two of them were very familiar with each other. He didn't ask about the sponsorship first. Li Moyan replied casually: "If I win, I will still be the champion this year."
Lao Yang raised his thumb: "Awesome, you are worthy of being Minister Li."
"Don't embarrass me. I'll tell you about this sponsorship. I've also brought you photos of the event..."
She originally wanted to explain things briefly before eating as usual, but she was interrupted by Lao Yang with a smile:
"Stop talking about this, Minister Li, can I still not trust you? Eat something first, otherwise it will get cold."
Li Moyan found that he was in a different state today, but he was really hungry after a busy day, so he started to get started without any further politeness.
She ate very quickly, and after finishing the meal, she started chatting with Lao Yang again: "I haven't been here for a few days, is the business in your store good?"
There is a basis for saying this. There are not many customers in the store now, but the new guy still keeps putting out food and cooking it, and then puts each portion into a take-out box, which is then taken away by the delivery man who hurries over.
As the person who personally helped Lao Yang board Lin Yi's pirate ship, Li Moyan would certainly not be confused about this.
What surprised her was just that the change happened so quickly.
"Isn't that a blessing to Minister Li? To be honest, if it weren't for your face, I really wouldn't be able to make this decision myself."
"I didn't expect this takeout website to be really useful. It turns out that the store is so big and it can receive countless customers every day."
"Now every day at noon and evening, orders on this website come in non-stop. The amount I sell in a day is twice as much as before."
"Look at those two pots, one of them is specially used for making takeout orders."
"That's my wife's nephew next to me. You can call him Xiao Zhang. We quickly called him over, otherwise the two of us would really be unable to handle it. We were so busy in the first two days that our waist almost broke."
"As expected of Minister Li's younger brother, he is as powerful as you!"
Li Moyan knew that although he had a good reputation with Lao Yang, the takeout website was not his fault, nor was it Li Jianguo's fault.
She came here many times, and when she saw the small changes in this humble shop, she felt no less emotional than Lao Yang.
Li Moyan thought that if the Changhua incident was included, this was the second time that he was surprised and admired Lin Yi.
At this moment, the senior sister felt that Lin Yi's offer was a bit exciting.
