Li Zeyu thought for a while and then continued: "Brother Peng, you are right, but now Xiaohutong Hotpot is in a price war with us, and many customers have gone there. You said, our operating costs are kept here,
You can’t lower the price any further, right?”
When Li Zeyu thought about it, although Shen Dapeng was right, if he wanted to retain customers, he must have good taste, but the situation in front of him made him unable to calm down.
Because of the super cheap price, a large number of customers are attracted there, and there is not much available here. If the price is lowered in order to attract more customers, the profit will really not be much.
"Don't be anxious, don't be jealous of them, lest you get into trouble." Shen Dapeng still said in a calm tone, "They don't have a secret recipe there, so the taste won't be much better. Although the price is low, the taste is not good.
Can a person who has eaten once eat it a second time?"
Shen Dapeng's words finally made Li Zeyu's heart light up, and he nodded secretly, "Brother Peng, when you say this, I finally understand, and now I feel much more at ease."
"Well, relax, you don't just have to do whatever you want when it comes to catering. Only by catering to customers' tastes and making them feel comfortable can they retain their hearts. Other stores don't have such a taste, so naturally, they
Will come to us. Also, price is not the main thing. Some things are more expensive for their own reasons. Customers will pay for it, right?"
Li Zeyu nodded, Shen Dapeng was right.
Although some expensive brands, such as those luxury goods, are ridiculously expensive, a lot of people still buy them, just for the quality and brand. On the contrary, although the bags at the stalls are cheap, the quality is terrible. Who knows?
Will you buy it?
After hanging up the phone, Shen Dapeng put the phone beside the bed, looked at the dark sky outside the window, and then lay on the bed, preparing to close his eyes and rest for a while.
"Follow me, where are the archers? Hurry up and replenish your health, otherwise I will have to hang here today!"
As soon as he closed his eyes, Tang Wei's roaring voice came from the room next door, accompanied by the sound of his hands tapping heavily on the keyboard.
This kid came back from the afternoon and has been playing games until now without blinking his eyes. He only ate half of the box lunch he brought back and the remaining half is still scattered on the table.
Shen Dapeng frowned and couldn't help but opened his eyes again, "Tang Wei, this month's electricity bill is unevenly distributed. You are not playing this for nothing. Shouldn't you pay for it?"
Sun Dapao helped rent a unit in an old community near the university, with three bedrooms and two living rooms. The location was good, with good light from the north and south. The monthly rent was not much, which was much more cost-effective than staying in a hotel.
More importantly, there is a kitchen in the room, so you can cook a few dishes and have a few drinks for a few people.
It was summer when we moved here, and of course it was extremely hot in this kind of residential building. At Tang Wei's suggestion, a few people bought several air conditioners, one for each room, so they could survive the hot summer.
It's extremely cold in this season, but Tang Wei is only wearing half sleeves and is working hard to kill monsters in a team. Hearing the whirring sound of the air conditioner, Shen Dapeng couldn't help but say something.
If this continues, this month's electricity bill will exceed the rent.
"Don't worry, we will attack the city tonight for activities. If we do well, we will get a purple and gold suit and give it away. The whole world is shouting this. If you don't have one or two thousand, you can at least get eight or nine hundred."
While Tang Wei was talking to Shen Dapeng, his eyes were staring at the computer screen and his hands were typing frantically on the keyboard.
"That's just right. It's no problem to pay the electricity bills for several months at a time." Shen Dapeng chuckled and said, "How is the business development at the University of Finance?"
During the summer vacation, this boy Tang Wei worked hard. While others were hiding in their rooms due to the heat, he was running around in the sun doing business.
The hard work paid off, and this guy was considered to be very lucky. He visited all the office buildings around Shuimu University and got many orders. He still didn't give up. He carried out extensive publicity and expanded business, and almost the entire Dongcheng District was covered.
Ran all over.
What is gratifying is that the express delivery company's orders have skyrocketed, and more and more catering merchants are cooperating with Heavy Rain Express, and some of them even come to us on their own initiative. This makes Sun Dapao's brothers very busy.
Although I make a lot of money, I can't finish the orders every day. In the long run, even a strong boy will sometimes be unable to bear it.
Sun Dapao had no choice but to call his own brothers in Qingshu County to come over. Otherwise, the existing nearly ten people would be too busy.
When Heavy Rain Express was first established, Du Yuefeng found a temporary store in Shuimu University, which could be regarded as the office location of Heavy Rain Express.
However, due to the impact of SARS, Tang Wei and others could not enter, and Du Yuefeng only contacted some students from his school who were willing to send orders. Usually everyone registers and distributes orders at this temporary office location.
As the business volume continued to increase, the office location on campus was obviously a bit inconvenient. Shen Dapeng and others searched the street outside the university and finally found a store with a reasonable area and simple decoration.
After a while, the sign was put up, and it became a new office location.
In this case, there will be a fixed location for the distribution of orders to each region in the future. At the same time, some catering businesses come to discuss business, so there is a place, right? You can't stand on the street to discuss business, right?
Since having this new office location, Tang Wei and Sun Dapao finally have a place to rest after their busy work. Du Yuefeng is now responsible for the food delivery business in each school, and also takes care of the computer assembly at Xiaoyu Technology Life Center.
and maintenance matters.
After Cao Zhang opened another branch in Xicheng District, business was surprisingly good. The number of computers he sold every day was no less than that of Huanglong Mall, and they ranged from high to high-end and low-end.
The computers in Huanglong Mall are mainly mid- to low-end. In Huang Bin's view, high-end computers are expensive and almost no one cares about them. However, there are many universities in Dongcheng District, and most of the people who buy computers are students.
How much money do students have? Therefore, they cannot afford expensive computers, and mid- to low-end computers cater to their needs.
As everyone knows, the tastes of students nowadays are also very sophisticated. With the rise of online games, the lag that often occurs in low-end and mid-range computers is very troublesome, so they would rather buy computers with high-end configurations or assembly machines designed to run games.
I am willing to buy those low-end and mid-range configurations.
Therefore, computer sales in Huanglong Mall have been very sluggish. On the contrary, the computer counter in Xiaoyu Science and Technology Life Center is often filled with students who come to make purchases.
At this time, Du Yuefeng seemed to have become a member of the store. He was either busy assembling computers for these students or repairing some problems encountered by the computers. He was often too busy to care about one end and not the other.
There was no other way. When Du Yuefeng was really too busy, Cao Zhang could only temporarily find a few computer science students to come to the rescue. At least these students were familiar with Du Yuefeng and were willing to come and help from time to time.
