157 Next Development, New Restaurant Emergence On The Platform
This year’s winter was very cold. The gray sky and the gray city were filled with lifelessness. Pedestrians wrapped in clothes and lowered their heads, hurriedly shuttled past.
“Achoo!” Luo Feng sneezed and grabbed his collar to prevent the wind from entering. “If I knew it was so cold, I would have taken the milk tea!”
...He shrank his neck and quickened his pace, sneezing non-stop.
Luo Feng stood at the door and fought three people in a row until he reached Xie Yan’s company.
“It’s so cold…” He pushed the door open and walked in. He was handed a cup of hot tea.
Xie Yan was already prepared to welcome him at the door. Even tea was prepared.
“This is too considerate.” Luo Feng was a little flattered. He took the cup and drank more than half of it. Warmth flowed into his stomach. He instantly felt alive.
“Thank Lady Boss.” Xie Yan waved his phone. Other than the revenue of the milk tea shop sent to him by Ai Tingya, there were many instructions.
For example, “It’s too cold outside. Luo Feng is wearing thin clothes. Remember to turn up the heater in the company.” Or “Please pour Luo Feng a cup of hot tea. He likes it 60% hot”…
Those who did not know better would think that Luo Feng was going on a long trip.
Xie Yan did not expect to be able to eat airdropped dog food while hiding in the office to work overtime on such a cold day. To be honest, it was a little sour!
“I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you.” Luo Feng was embarrassed and scratched his head. He was most likely too busy walking and had neglected his phone, so Ai Tingya sent it to Xie Yan.
It was quite embarrassing to show off their love again.
After drinking a cup of hot tea, Luo Feng felt comfortable and said to Xie Yan, “I have something to discuss. Take a seat.”
Xie Yan also wanted to talk to Luo Feng in the next two days.
It had been a month since the online takeaway was launched, and the orders were gradually increasing, especially since the weather was getting colder. It was said that snowy days were more compatible with milk tea, and milk tea had gradually become an indispensable part of life.
The takeaway profits of the eight stores added up to about 500,000 a month. Even though it could not compare to offline profits, it was already very good for the website that had only been online for a month.
“The milk tea takeaway is almost done. Next, we need to find more merchants and get them to put up the takeaway system. It’s best if we can find all the nearby merchants,” Luo Feng said.
This was their next development plan.
Xie Yan also felt that it was time. “This matter might take a little effort. Our Gather Sift Takeout isn’t very famous after all. Promotion is another effort.”
The takeaway they created was called “Gather Sift”. It was approved by the people of Xie Yan’s company. Originally, they wanted to include the word “Feng” in their name to thank Luo Feng for his help.
However, this was the same name as Luo Feng’s “Ting Feng Company”. In the end, they decided on “Gather Sift”, which meant “Gathering around delicious food and sifting through great thoughts”. It could be seen that they had high hopes for the takeaway website.
“I think someone will be tempted if you give up a portion of the benefits,” Luo Feng said.
Xie Yan was stuck at this point and did not know how to tell Luo Feng. “If we give up some profits… We might need more investment.”
If they used more benefits and a more convenient way to sell goods as bait, the merchants would definitely be tempted. However, the profits on the takeaway side would be much lower. Even though they would not lose money, they would not make much money.
“Money is not a problem. You don’t have to worry about making a loss. Takeaways have yet to really develop. If we want to establish ourselves, we might have to make a loss.” Luo Feng persuaded patiently.
Smartphones were not popular yet, and takeaway still existed as a website.
In the future, when he created the app and promoted it throughout the country, that would be the true start of burning money. Luo Feng felt that there was no need to worry about money.
“Alright,” Xie Yan said simply.
If the person who paid was not worried, why should he be so cautious as a person who used money? In any case, Xie Yan had gradually calmed down after interacting with him for so long.
The Internet industry was still a money burning industry. They were kept alive by Luo Feng. As for future benefits… That was too far away. Xie Yan could not estimate it. At the very least, he had to recover the company’s capital first.
The two of them reached a consensus to spend money.
Luo Feng added, “By the way, prepare to recruit people. The quality of the personnel is very important for the sake of the brand image.”
High-quality employees were indispensable if they wanted to successfully promote the takeaway website. Xie Yan’s company might have a lot of people and all of them were talented, but most of them were technical talents.
As the saying went, different professions were different worlds. He would rather spend more money to find another professional.
“Ah… This…” Xie Yan’s calm mind fluctuated again. The last time he mentioned money was a minute ago. Recruitment of new employees was another new expense. Even he felt embarrassed.
“You don’t have any more money, right?” Luo Feng asked.
The so-called high-quality professional employees, in other words, were “expensive”!
Xie Yan nodded in shame. He had taken almost two million yuan from Luo Feng and spent it all in two months. The takeaway had only taken a small step.
As a rich second-generation heir, this was the first time he felt that it was shameful to squander.
“…Yes, we’re out of money.”
“Alright!” Luo Feng slapped the table and stood up excitedly. “I’ve been waiting for you to ask for money. I waited for you but you didn’t come so I thought I might as well come myself today.”
???
Xie Yan did not understand why Luo Feng was so excited. Why was he so happy when he took out his money?
“How about this, I’ll transfer another 10 million yuan to you.” Luo Feng rubbed his hands excitedly. Seeing Xie Yan’s blank expression, “Is 10 million yuan not enough? I’ll transfer more?”
“No, no, no, no!” Xie Yan was afraid that his heart would not be able to withstand it, so he hurriedly stopped Luo Feng. “It’s enough!”
Xie Yan’s forehead was covered in sweat in the middle of winter. After spending so much time together, he still could not figure out what was going on in Luo Feng’s mind. Why was he so happy to take out the money?
Could it be that rich people really have so much free rich? For the first time, Xie Yan doubted his identity as a rich second-generation heir.
“Then Boss… Why don’t we talk about the shares again?”
Xie Yan was a very conscientious worker. Previously, Luo Feng had spent a million yuan to buy shares of the company to help them tide over their difficulties. Now that he had invested 10 million yuan, it was more than enough to buy 10 companies.
He did not want Luo Feng to lose out, so he decided to give him some more shares.
Xie Yan did not know that Luo Feng hoped to ;ose out in this aspect.
This was because the more shares he obtained, the less he would earn back. However, Luo Feng could not not not take them, or it would seem very strange. He did not lack money, nor did he want to use it to waste it.
“Uh… Then I… I’ll take another 10%,” Luo Feng said unwillingly. “Speaking of which, can our company’s valuation reach 100 million yuan?”
Xie Yan was at a loss. Their company’s valuation was exactly one million yuan a month ago. How could it increase so quickly?
