Managing a Pet Snack Shop

Lin Gui, facing employment troubles upon graduating from university, fortunately bound herself to a pet snack shop. To avoid becoming a capitalist's workhorse, Lin Gui gritted her teeth and dec...

Chapter 40

The main system fell silent again, and the silver ball spun around, apparently considering Lin Gui's proposal.

009 tried to persuade them, "Oh, if this works, we'll definitely gain a lot of energy."

Finally, the silver ball was persuaded: "Okay, we can agree to use points to pay for the express delivery. How much do you want to pay?" The small ball floated in front of Lin Gui again.

"30 cents." Lin Gui said without blinking.

"What!!!" the main system and 009 shouted at the same time.

009 sent a private message to Lin Gui: "Host, host, you are asking for too much! My performance is still controlled by it."

"You're so brave to ask for three points." The silver ball said in a low voice.

"Fifty cents, I can't even earn three dollars a day." Lin Gui took a step back.

"You dare to ask for this service when you can't earn it? The minimum requirement is two points," the main system said firmly.

Seeing that she couldn't bargain, Lin Gui resorted to emotional manipulation: "Oh, you see, the courier and the salesperson aren't close enough, so this doesn't count as helping me sell the product."

"Your products take energy to get to me, and it might take a little more energy to get to the customer's home. Charging me two points for this small amount is a bit much, isn't it?"

"Besides, your system is called an operating system, and after-sales service is also part of the operation."

The main system sneered, "It's up to you, two points. No bargaining."

As expected of the main system, it was so cruel. Lin Gui narrowed his eyes, it seemed that he was going to use his trump card.

"I want to make a complaint. The complaint channel is here."

009 was the first to be confused: "What is the host complaining about? What channel is used?"

The main system looked at 009 and Lin Gui suspiciously: "How do you know the complaint channel is with me?"

"I guessed it." Lin Gui said without any burden, "It works every time I trick you."

"What do you want to complain about?" the main system said helplessly.

"Just complain to the after-sales service. It seems that you don't have after-sales service. I strongly suggest that you add this service." Lin Gui made this suggestion casually.

"But you don't need this service now. As far as I know, you are not at risk of cargo accumulation." The silver ball was a little exasperated.

"Oh no, I haven't used it yet, but I absolutely must have it. All products have after-sales service. I'd be worried if I don't have it when I need it in the future."

The main system was helpless with this reason and fell silent again.

Lin Gui privately messaged 009: "I think your main system is a good tank and has been silent all the time."

009 was amused, but he didn't dare laugh because the main system was here, and his heart was floating up and down.

The main system then said sinisterly, "We are on the same wavelength. I can hear you talking."

"Oh, oh oh." Lin Gui was embarrassed for a moment, but only for a short while. Then she signaled with her eyes to ask Silver Ball what to do about the complaint.

009 felt it was time to give the main system a leg up, so he privately messaged it: "Boss, how about making the express delivery cheaper? I'll ask my host not to pursue after-sales complaints. Adding a service takes up a lot of energy."

The main system replied: "But she wants 0.5 points. How can I agree to that?"

"I'll talk to the host again and I'll definitely negotiate a good price."

Lin Gui just watched the two small balls, one blue and one silver, whispering to each other, without any concern.

After a while, 009 came and said to Lin Gui, "Host, it agreed to reduce the price, but the minimum reduction is 0.5, and it still costs 1.5. Any less than 1.5 is definitely not possible."

Seeing the price was cut in half, Lin Gui was relieved and said, "1.5 is fine, but the express delivery must be fully included. It must be used for delivery and returns. I can bear the risk of returns myself."

009 said he understood and continued communicating with the main system.

After a while, the silver ball floated back and said to Lin Gui, "1.5 points."

He also told her: "I will pretend I didn't hear anything about the complaint."

Lin Gui smiled again and said, "Just pretend I never said anything about this. Never mention it again."

"Okay, 009, you will be responsible for the docking." After saying that, the silver ball left.

Lin Gui and 009 were relieved to see it leave, as they were afraid that it would go back on its word.

Then everyone started cheering.

Great, all the most important online issues have been resolved.

Lin Gui was so excited that he couldn't sleep, and decided to open all the online platforms tonight, put the goods on the shelves, and fill in the information.

009 took precautions and said to Lin Gui worriedly, "If the host can't make back his investment, then all the points he has worked so hard to accumulate will be used up."

"Look at the bright side. Even if we don't sell a single order, 240 points will be enough for us to survive for a long time. What's more, you have to have confidence in our country's market." Lin Gui said confidently.

Driven by Lin Gui's confidence, 009 also started to study things related to operations and marketing. I, Niuhulu, the little surfing expert and network manager.9 will definitely be a marketing genius in the future, and 009 also has confidence in myself.

Lin Gui uploaded product pictures, detail pages, and videos overnight, and sent a message under the official account that the online store had been opened. He was very busy.

At twelve o'clock in the night, all these things were finally done. Lin Gui stayed up late tonight, but Da Huang couldn't stay up and fell asleep soundly beside her.

After Lin Gui finished her work, it woke up instead. Seeing that Lin Gui was still awake, it happily nagged her and wanted to play with her.

Lin Gui hadn't stayed up late for a long time. Now that she was past her sleepy point, she had nothing to do, so she took Da Huang out for a walk. They were going to exercise for an hour before coming back to sleep.

After being dressed neatly, Dahuang also wore the store’s new pet collar. This product is quite comfortable, and Dahuang put it on without any resistance.

There are almost no people in the community at night. Most of the people living here are those who go to bed early and get up early. The entire community becomes the world of small animals at night.

While Lin Gui was taking Da Huang for a walk, they encountered three cats and two mice. It is normal to have mice in the old campus. I wonder if these two mice are enough for the three cats to share.

Before she had even finished circling the neighborhood, Lin Gui saw another familiar cat waiting ahead.

The leopard boss meowed in confusion, as if asking Lin Gui why she came out so late at night.

Lin Gui had no way of answering Leopard Boss's doubts. She could only marvel at how many spies Leopard Boss had. It had only taken him so long to find them. She then invited him, "Come take a walk with us."

Little did he know that when Leopard Boss was on patrol, his subordinates came to report that they saw the human being whom Boss had asked to take care of wandering around late at night with her unknown little pet.

Boss Leopard was very curious about his men's description and worried that Lin Gui and Da Huang were wandering around in danger, so he ran over to take a look.

Seeing that they were fine and taking a leisurely walk, Leopard Boss had no choice but to follow them.

The man, the cat and the dog walked around the community twice until Lin Gui felt sleepy and went upstairs to sleep.

I said goodbye to Leopard Boss at the door of the unit, and Leopard Boss meowed meaningfully again.

As if telling Lin Gui not to come out at night next time, Lin Gui smiled at Leopard Boss, watched Leopard Boss leave, and went upstairs to prepare for bed.

Although she stayed up late, Lin Gui slept very well that night, probably because she had exercised at night. When she woke up the next morning, she felt like she had slept for ten hours.

He took out his cell phone and saw that it was already 9 o'clock. Seeing that he was late, Lin Gui immediately got up, washed and rushed to the store.

It was strange that he didn't sleep for ten hours. Lin Gui hadn't gotten up at 9 o'clock since he opened the shop. He must not stay up late next time. He didn't even hear the alarm clock, feeling annoyed.

Dahuang was leisurely and not in a hurry. After waking up in the morning, he didn't bother Lin Gui. He just played with his little bones by himself. He didn't care that he didn't have breakfast. He was so well-behaved and so Buddhist.

Lin Gui didn't have time to feed Dahuang breakfast, so she planned to take it to the store to eat.

The store is much busier now than before, so Lin Gui has to go and help quickly.

Finally, they arrived at the store quickly. Lin Gui opened her mobile phone and saw that only 20 minutes had passed. She was really fast.

Zhou Xiao saw Lin Gui and said, "Boss, you're rarely late."

Lin Gui: "I stayed up late last night and got up late. Is the store busy?"

"It's okay, it's okay. There weren't many people this morning, and now that you've opened your online store, even the scalpers are gone. But you're really quick, you opened it up in no time."

After Zhou Xiao's reminder, Lin Gui also remembered that he had set up the online store last night. After settling Dahuang down, he began to ask about the 009 online store.

Last night, Lin Gui finished running the store and left it alone. 009 was in charge of customer service and operations. Its work was worth the two points, as it had already sold 23 orders in one night.

009 said to Lin Gui proudly, "Don't worry, host, these are all positive reviews. Your two points will definitely be well worth it."

OK, Lin Gui was very confident in 009, and asked it to use the artificial intelligence customer service provided by the platform, and then it would handle the matter when the customer requested manual service.

009 fell silent. Lin Gui smiled. "What are you learning from the main system? It keeps falling silent."

"Host, you look down on me. How can you treat customers with that kind of artificial intelligence with a single command? It's not like me. It has a single program."

"Okay, okay, whatever you want." Lin Gui responded to 009.

See what kind of express service the main system promised her.

I opened the software and found that the goods were already displayed in the collection status. I didn’t understand it, so I asked 009 what was going on.

"Hehehe, it's easy for us to hack into this software. We can display the status of the goods on the platform according to the average express delivery speed of this country. We will naturally deliver the products when the time comes. The delivery tasks are assigned to certain brands, so there is no need to worry."

"Oh oh oh, I see." Since there was no need for her to take over, Lin Gui simply left it alone and just waited for the goods to arrive.

With the online store, sales have skyrocketed, and the tenth level is just around the corner. In order to make the store look good and not crowded, Lin Gui did not put the rewards for upgrading to the ninth level in the store, but waited for the tenth level to be released after the store expanded.

Fortunately, this day came soon, and a week later, the system issued a joyful "ding dong".
