Li Jiahao pondered for a moment and felt that what Ye Lingshuang said made sense. Considering the rent, water, electricity and labor costs, he gave up the idea of opening another branch in the city.
However, just a small store will have little impact on Dongrun City. If you want to expand sales, you must work hard on online sales.
Even with the current sales volume of this store in Biyuan Community, Su Tingting and the three of them are almost overwhelmed. If the APP is launched again, not only the existing venues but also the staff will not be enough, and the scale must be expanded.
The two garages where Ye Lingshuang was idle have been put into use. Xin Yu stayed in the garage almost the whole day, packing and shipping. Even so, it is inevitable to work overtime to complete the day's workload. The three of them are working at almost full capacity.
"Then we will hire two more workers to strengthen our packaging and delivery capabilities. If that doesn't work, I will rent two more garages. I heard that there is a taxi garage in the community, which is enough for us."
Ye Lingshuang's method to solve the problem is simple and direct, just strengthen the manpower.
Li Jiahao disagreed. He wanted to expand the kimchi restaurant's business. Even if we rent two more garages and recruit three or five more workers, as the volume of shipments increases, we still cannot meet the requirements.
"Workers must be hired, and garages must be rented. If this business becomes big, how many workers will we have to hire? How many garages will we rent? What's more, the underground garages we can rent may not necessarily be adjacent to each other. One to the west is difficult to manage and will naturally increase operating costs."
Seeing that what Li Jiahao said made sense, Ye Lingshuang subconsciously leaned towards him.
"That's the truth. Renting many garages at once may not necessarily be used in a short period of time, which is a waste of resources. You need to rent one each, but it is scattered, and it is troublesome to use and manage. However, currently renting a large warehouse is also It’s not necessary, and there aren’t any in the community. It seems that this warehouse will have to be moved outside sooner or later, and it will have to be rented to a similar size.”
Li Jiahao thought for a moment.
"There is a way. We don't need to rent a particularly large warehouse. We can cooperate with a logistics company to rent a cargo space and unload the kimchi directly into their warehouse. At the same time, we can outsource the packaging and delivery business to them. In this way, we can It saves a lot of worry. As the business develops, the volume of shipments is increasing. Logistics companies can see and touch it, and are more willing to cooperate with us. As our scale expands in the future, they will naturally be willing to help us increase cargo space. . We don’t have to worry about this.”
"Let's go to the logistics company right now."
Ye Lingshuang strongly agreed with Li Jiahao's idea. Since she had no objection, she would just do it.
Ye Lingshuang drove, and the two went directly to the logistics company and told the other party their ideas. The person in charge of the other party welcomed them very much. The kimchi of Bangchui Country is well-known to the people of Dongrun. The person in charge also heard about it. Their kimchi business was very prosperous, and the two parties signed a cooperation agreement on the spot.
Li Jiahao decided to immediately purchase goods from Bangchui Country. This time it was not just one container of kimchi, but two containers. One box was unloaded at Biyuan Community, and the other box was taken to the logistics company's warehouse. This was an operation to expand the scale.
The APP has not yet been launched, but Su Tingting's online live broadcast has a large radiating influence, and it has a tendency to become bigger and bigger. If this APP is completed, it will definitely usher in a sales boom as soon as it is launched.
On their way back, Ye Lingshuang received a call from Zhou Tong. There was no boxing match in the evening, and the boxing ring was temporarily closed for a week, saying that it was for internal maintenance.
This maintenance is necessary. Those fanatical spectators are even crazier than the boxers in the ring. After every boxing match, in addition to shouting crazily, they also jump up and down. A lot of tables and chairs in the audience are damaged, which seriously affects the The audience is seated, it’s really time to repair.
When Li Jiahao heard the news, he glanced at Ye Lingshuang who was driving. His expression was a little sad and his tone was low.
"After today, the Spring Festival is over. It's time for me to go back to Bang Chui Country. There happens to be no boxing matches these days. If Xiao Yuan can complete the production of the information APP, I will take him there and try it out together. try."
Ye Lingshuang turned to look at him and said with a smile: "In terms of technical matters, Xiao Yuan will do what he says. As long as he dares to say it, he can do it. I believe this. Even if he says it can be done tomorrow, I don't suggest you do it directly. Bring it over, we have to give it a try here to make sure it’s okay, and it won’t be too late to pass it on to you.”
Li Jiahao nodded and agreed.
"By the way, I forgot to ask you, how much will my company have to pay to use this information APP? Should I rent it or buy it? I can't let Xiao Yuan and the others help in vain."
Ye Lingshuang couldn't help but giggle.
"Then my help must not be in vain. I own half of the kimchi restaurant here, and we also paid 100,000 for the APP that only sells kimchi. The information APP is much more complicated than this one. Jiahao Information Company is your own , are you embarrassed to let me help you for free?"
"So I asked whether I should rent or sell. The specific price has to be decided by you, the big boss."
"rent!"
In the morning, Ye Lingshuang and Xiao Yuan were still discussing this matter. She planned to sell it to Li Jiahao, saying that she didn't care about the copyright, but after using this thing for a long time, it would inevitably cause controversy. Li Jiahao's question reminded her that renting was much more profitable than selling.
"What about the cost?"
"100,000 a year, you have to do the backend maintenance yourself."
Li Jiahao was stunned. He felt that Ye Lingshuang really didn't understand this thing. If he had to do the backend maintenance himself, the APP would slowly lose its original appearance. Maybe it would become completely different in a few years. It might be different from the previous APP. Quite different, it will become something else entirely.
Ye Lingshuang really didn't understand this, but he remembered Xiao Yuan's words. As long as the source code is not provided to them, the APP can be completely controlled by his own people.
Moreover, by renting out the right to use the APP, you can earn a commission every year, which is much more cost-effective than selling it directly to him at a low price.
After discussing this matter, the two returned to Biyuan Community. Li Jiahao hesitated before getting off the car.
"Is there anything else?"
Ye Lingshuang couldn't help but ask.
Li Jiahao seemed to still be thinking about it and finally said it.
"Look, the boxing match has been temporarily suspended. You don't need to worry about the online broadcast. I plan to go back to Bang Chui Country tomorrow. Can we watch a movie together tonight?"
Seeing that Ye Lingshuang did not answer immediately, he continued: "Even if you want to see me off. I have been back to China for so long, and all I have to do is work. I even go to watch boxing in my spare time to make money. This life is a bit too monotonous. I I especially miss the days when we traveled together during the Spring Festival. You also need a rich life, and watching a movie is actually quite good."
He spoke very carefully and his tone was gentle, for fear that Ye Lingshuang would directly reject him. As soon as the words came out, he felt extremely anxious, waiting for Ye Lingshuang's answer.
"Okay, I rarely watch movies."
Li Jiahao immediately became happy, returned to his lively and sunny state, and immediately booked two movie tickets on his mobile phone.
"I'll treat you to dinner tonight!"
He had always regarded Ye Lingshuang's dinner as very important and was proud of preparing it for her.
Ye Lingshuang seemed to have misunderstood what he meant.
"No special arrangements are needed. Uncle Li has sent us a lot of wild goods. Just warm them up."
Li Jiahao smiled and said: "We can't just eat meat! Let's go to the supermarket to buy some fresh vegetables."
After closing the car door, he reached out to hold Ye Lingshuang's hand and walked towards the supermarket not far away.
Ye Lingshuang just let him hold her hand and didn't take the initiative to let go. She felt that if she refused directly, Li Jiahao would definitely lose face.
A couple passed by, their fingers intertwined, much tighter than theirs. The woman tilted her head and leaned on the man's shoulder, looking sweet. Ye Lingshuang was quite envious and couldn't help but follow closely, walking side by side with Li Jiahao.
Li Jiahao turned to look at him and smiled, very happily. Ye Lingshuang actually felt a warm current coming from his fingertips and flowing out of his eyes. This feeling was unprecedented, and her steps became brisk along with Li Jiahao's.
In the supermarket, Li Jiahao not only bought some fresh vegetables, but also specially bought a few bottles of low-alcohol liquor, saying that he would drink some in the evening.
The two of them carried large and small bags and returned to their residence.
Ye Lingshuang was responsible for picking and washing vegetables, and Li Jiahao was responsible for stir-frying. Four vegetables and one soup were ready.
After the meal was served, Li Jiahao took out some mountain products from the refrigerator and put them in the microwave to heat them. These were Ye Lingshuang's real dinners, and the few dishes he cooked were just Ye Lingshuang's willingness to accompany her in her leisure time.
The atmosphere was very warm, and both of them were in a good mood. Not only Li Jiahao liked it, but Ye Lingshuang also wanted such scenes to fill their entire lives. Warmth and romance are what most people yearn for after all.
The two of them had a tacit understanding, changing glasses and enjoying the warm moment quietly. At this moment, there is no fighting, no noise, no intrigues, and no intrigues. Some just have a glass of light wine and a few plates of vegetarian dishes. Two young men and women exuding youthful atmosphere sit opposite each other and raise their glasses to the moon, which is full of poetry and painting.
Ye Lingshuang actually felt in a trance, thinking that this was a dream. She had fantasized many times that the man sharing this warm and romantic moment with her should be Dongfang Xiangqi, but she never thought that it would be Li Jiahao.
Looking back on the past, it is vivid in my mind. From meeting and acquainting Li Jiahao to working together, apart from the natural fate, Ye Lingshuang felt that they were suitable. The two of them had almost no conflicts, no quarrels, no arguments, no matter what. There are no big differences, and we can quickly reach a consensus and get along very harmoniously with each other.
If you can find such a partner, you will actually be very happy. Harmony and peace are the ultimate pursuits of many families.
Ye Lingshuang was shaken, and her belief in Dongfang Xiangqi was shaken. She has been thinking about Dongfang Xiangqi, paying attention to his activities, and caring about his health. However, apart from getting along with her at work, Dongfang Xiangqi has almost no interaction with her in life. On the contrary, after he had a car accident, she I once spared no effort to participate in the solution, and until now, I am still helping him inquire about the theft of his bank card. He has tried almost every method imaginable.
She has paid so much and has never received anything in return. Of course, she does not require that her efforts be rewarded. Everything is done willingly.
Looking at Li Jiahao again, he didn't do anything to her deliberately. Everything happened naturally. The request to watch a movie with him today might be the only time he did it deliberately, so when he made the request, he had concerns and couldn't let it go.
During the Spring Festival, when they went traveling together, Li Jiahao was always generous, because that was his long-awaited plan, and inviting Ye Lingshuang was just a way of doing it.
What is intentional is intentional, and what is intentional is intentional. Ye Lingshuang's heart rippled.
