Chapter 132 The silent Xu Hao, against the will of heaven!
"If you don't tell me something, I'll punch your brains out!"
Xu Hao smiled amiably and spoke softly.
Wang Chao: ? If someone else said that he could knock a dog's brain out with one punch, Wang Chao would laugh, but Xu Hao said, "He can really knock it out with one punch!"
"Really? Brother Hao is really building a business empire this time. I feel like all the plans I've proposed before are not as big or exciting as this one!"
Wang Chao quickly took out his notebook, which was filled with various words written on it.
"Brother Huo, Sister Chu Xi's cake shop really inspired me!"
"This is Linlan City. Sister Chu Xi's hometown is in Jiangsan City. How far is the distance between the two urban areas?"
Xu Hao looked at the words that looked like dog crawling.
He had a blank expression on his face and chose not to look, instead turning his gaze towards Wang Chao.
"About a thousand kilometers."
"Yes, that's more than a thousand kilometers!"
Wang Chao nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking at rice.
"It's over a thousand kilometers. It takes half a day by plane and several days by train."
"So, in this case, is it very difficult for Director Chu to have a bite of the cake made by Sister Chu Xi? Or even impossible to have it at all!"
"right."
Xu Hao nodded.
Logistics issues have always been a major problem that has plagued various provinces.
When it comes to infrastructure construction across the country, the most important thing is the roads we build, or logistics.
"If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. This shows the importance of roads."
Of course, don’t understand it as a cement road.
It is a concept of transporting an item from one place to another, which can be called a road. The better and faster it is, the better the economy will run.
"In this situation, if you want to eat, you can only rely on luck!"
Wang Chao said firmly.
"That means Sister Chu Xi, send the cake onto a plane, or send it to a train, or use some form of transportation to deliver it."
"express delivery?"
Xu Hao frowned and looked at Wang Chao, thinking deeply.
"Yes, it is express delivery, but it is different from ordinary express delivery."
Wang Chao explained patiently, "Brother Hao, please listen to my explanation first!"
The concept of express delivery appeared very early.
The main thing is "delivery". For example, postman is an early form of express delivery, but it changed from delivering letters to delivering objects.
In Xu Huo's previous life, it can be traced back to the "Qiu Ren" of the Xia Dynasty and the "Xing Fu" of the Zhou Dynasty, both of which are similar to the concept of postman.
After the changes of the times, the modern Internet exploded.
The concept of express delivery also evolved from postmen.
"In this case, if you want to save time and energy in long-term transportation between regions, the best option is to find a courier company."
"But then the limitations of express delivery companies also emerged."
Wang Chao used his developed brain.
His wise eyes lit up, and he pulled out a small notebook and started writing and drawing on it with a black pen.
“That’s slow!”
"Long distances are considered fast. For example, if the distance between two places is more than 1,000 kilometers, express delivery can usually reach the destination within seven days."
In 2003, information development was not very good, and tracking and positioning was even worse.
Compared with later generations, express delivery is almost twice as slow.
But it's much faster than driving there and back by yourself, and you don't need to ask for leave or anything.
“The time is mainly spent on cargo diversion, etc.”
"The basic logic of most express delivery operations is basically the same, but as I said just now, long distances are fast, but..."
“It’s very slow over short distances.”
"If it's only a few dozen kilometers away, it'll take a day or two. Although there's no need to mail it, it's troublesome to drive there by yourself."
Wang Chao writes and draws.
He drew long-distance routes in his notebook and marked the times next to them.
The more Xu Hao listened, the more he felt something was wrong.
The corner of his eye twitched and he looked into Wang Chao's eyes.
"so what?"
"So, how do we solve the problem of close distance?"
Wang Chao's face was serious.
"What if Sister Chu Xi's cake shop is five kilometers away and I want to eat something?"
"Shall we ask Sister Chu Xi to deliver it by express delivery?"
"This is unrealistic. Not to mention how the express logistics will divert the goods, the time wasted alone is enough to ruin the cake."
“So, I can only walk or ride my bike to get there.”
"but"
“Product development depends on customer needs, and customer needs are often ‘lazy’.”
"I'm too lazy to go. After all, it's five kilometers, ten kilometers round trip."
Wang Chao put forward a concept, a concept that no one has thought of at the moment.
Something was gradually wrong with Xu Hao's eyes.
“Sunny in the summer, cold in the winter.”
"If it's lunch, I'll just go over there."
"But what about breakfast?"
"I just got out of bed in the winter and opened the door, and a gust of cold wind blew in. Jill was so cold that she shrank, let alone going out to eat."
"Can we deliver it to your door like a courier?"
Xu Hao was silent.
He looked at Wang Chao, whose face was full of excitement, and the various detailed guesses and anticipated difficulties.
Is he really a genius!?
"Tell me more."
He pulled the person into the house, sat at the table, and had a good chat.
"People will get tired of eating just a few things. There are only a few restaurants within five kilometers that we like to go to. Once we get used to them, we will get tired of them. Five kilometers away is too far."
"So contradictions arise, and at the same time, markets and demands appear. As long as we resolve this contradiction and meet the demand, we can make a lot of money!"
"Because it's like express delivery, something that everyone uses!"
"Our customers and our market are everyone in the country!"
As Wang Chao spoke, he already had the temperament of a leader.
What temperament? Draw a big cake at random.
Of course, it is indeed big. If he succeeds as expected, he will be qualified to challenge the world's richest people.
But "this idea cannot be completed."
Xu Hao narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Chao's wise brain.
He wanted to pry it open and take a look.
But I still erased this thought, after all, impulse is the devil.
A cool breeze blew behind Wang Chao's head, but he didn't care. He calmed down a little, but his emotions were still excited.
"No, it's impossible. It's very complicated."
"But convenience is the direction of the Internet now."
"Broadcasting TV, live broadcasting, and even express delivery are all forms of convenience. Most things will definitely change in the future."
“Shopping, too!”
“Since it is an Internet change, it naturally relies on the Internet and is presented in the form of a network.”
"So, brother, I checked online last night and found something."
As Wang Chao spoke, he drew a black and white penguin.
"Penguin Coin!"
"You are familiar with this brother, right?"
Xu Hao nodded. As for Penguin Coins, around 15 years ago in the previous life, many children went to Internet cafes to buy Penguin Coin cards to recharge their accounts.
"Selling good accounts can earn Penguin Coins, which is a form of transaction. Does that mean that the real economy can also rely on this method for transactions?"
Wang Chao once again put forward a groundbreaking idea.
Now Xu Huo couldn't sit still anymore and stood up.
"Go on."
"Currency transactions, bartering 10,000 years ago, shells thousands of years ago, then palm-sized knife coins, then minted into thumb-sized copper coins, and then evolved into today's paper money."
"Obviously, the core of the evolution is 'convenience'!"
Wang Chao spoke carefully, he hadn't realized how scary what he was talking about was.
"Now that we have reached the level of paper money, how can we evolve further?"
“Penguin Coin gave me some idea.”
"If we want to achieve free trade across multiple provinces and thousands of kilometers, physical currency is definitely not enough, so we have to use virtual currency."
"For online transactions, we can negotiate a deal in one second, and the other party can ship the goods in the next second. We can receive the goods within seven days!"
"In this way, the conditions I need will most likely appear in the future!"
Wang Chao's gaze seemed to penetrate the limitations of time.
His vision is set ten years into the future.
Even twenty years later! He saw images of virtual transactions, images of convenience driving rapid economic growth.
“It satisfies the requirement of real-time transaction and information transmission.”
"Then what I have to do is very simple."
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
"First, find some professional errand runners, not the kind that serve only one store."
"Then, we copied the express delivery model and created a platform that can be used by merchants, buyers and runners to exchange information."
“The platform locates and transmits information in real time!”
"Users can stay at home and order food from 10 kilometers away, and the errand runners will take the order and deliver it to them!"
"All we have to do is take a small commission, advertising fee and referral fee from that."
"One person eats three meals a day, ten people eat thirty meals a day. Based on the current 1.3 billion people, even if there are 100 million people, that's three meals a day. If we take 1 cent from each order, we can make 30 million a day!"
Wang Chaoyue became more and more excited.
Speak truthfully about the various difficulties you are currently facing.
Xu Hao was silent.
His expression now was as if he had seen some monster.
These words revealed the three takeaways that stood at the top of the East Country in the previous life, as well as the boss of Penguin Coin and Ant. The other party's expectations were conservative.
100 million? 600 million transaction users! In fact, the concept of food delivery appeared very early.
In the early days, waiters would follow their butlers to wealthy homes and deliver meals to their homes.
There are also small restaurants these days.
But call to order.
Make a phone call, tell the address, and then the store owner will send his son or someone to deliver it on a bike and ask for some errand fee.
However, no one has thought of combining this form with the Internet at this time.
"So, what's the use now?"
Xu Hao suddenly asked back.
"Right now, this thing needs the development of the Internet, but it is not yet developed."
"I've thought about it."
Wang Chao added:
“This is not a disadvantage, it is a good thing for us!”
"This thing requires a huge investment in promotion. A few hundred thousand dollars is not enough to even fill the gaps between our teeth, and a few million is barely enough to try to run it."
"I expect to start within ten years. From now until the future, I will use the time to raise funds for this plan, attract investment, and find the government to implement welfare policies!"
"How to prepare?"
"Open a chain of food stores. I've tasted Sister Chu Xi's cooking skills and it's guaranteed to be a bestseller!"
Wang Chao patted his chest and made a promise.
"One store, two stores, three stores!"
"Brand the store and sell all kinds of products, cakes, desserts, snacks, hot pot, all kinds of things."
"Then we seized the opportunity, followed the trend of the times and promoted the errand-running platform, using the existing physical industries to establish the concept of errand-running."
"It gradually permeates into various snack streets, giving people the impression that it is popular."
"As long as it is reached in two provinces, even if we do not make any moves later, there will be businesses that will take the initiative to ask to join."
Wang Chao started explaining again.
After saying that, he looked at Xu Hao hopefully again.
"Brother Hao, is this okay?"
Xu Hao was silent for a long time. What could he say? After a long while, he spoke helplessly.
"good."
"I'll put in more money, change the investment from 10,000 to 200,000, and build the first store as quickly as possible."
Two hundred thousand? Wang Chao was shocked.
"No, no, I found a place with a nice ground last night."
"The rent is 3,000 a month, including renovation costs, material costs, advertising costs, service staff wages, machine costs, etc."
"Thirty thousand is enough to run it."
"Sister Chu Xi's shop is guaranteed to make money!"
Wang Chao was deeply moved.
A few words.
Let a man spend two hundred thousand for you!
Who else in this world can do this?
Wang Chao looked at Xu Hao's face and became more and more moved. His body became a little awkward until Xu Hao slapped him in the face and he came back to his senses.
"Okay, go ask Xiao Xi."
Wang Chao followed behind him happily.
“Knock knock knock~”
There was a knock on the door.
"Squeak~"
Chu Xi looked through the peephole, then quickly opened the door and appeared in the crack.
Xu Hao glanced at Wang Chao and motioned for him to speak.
"Sis, I have a plan!"
Wang Chao said to Chu Xi excitedly.
He described his business empire and also the difficulties he would face in the future.
Chu Xi frowned and tilted his head.
"What I mean is, let's open a cake shop."
Xu Hao began to explain.
"OK!"
Chu Xi's eyes lit up and he immediately jumped for joy.
"I've chosen an address. Let's go check it out now!"
Wang Chao was very moved and pulled Xu Hao out.
All three of them had free time and nothing to do, so they could immediately implement the decision they made on the spur of the moment.
As for the location, it must be said that the place chosen by Wang Chao is indeed something special.
He chose a location near a snack street, but closer to an office building.
Below the office building, in the distance is a junior high school and a residential area.
The location is very good, with at least a thousand employees coming in and out, and there are also a lot of people in the school and the community.
Correspondingly, the price is also high.
The monthly rent is 3,000 yuan. For some migrant workers with poor income, one month's rent is almost half a year's salary! And the contract is not a monthly rent, but a one-year rent, which is 36,000 or 40,000 yuan.
When Xu Hao heard the price, he asked Chu Xi to calculate how long she would have to be a police officer.
While she was calculating the time, Xu Hao immediately finalized the deal and signed the contract.
By the time Chu Xi reacted, he and Xu Hao could only stare at each other.
"Okay, this will be our property from now on."
Xu Hao said with a smile.
"I'll find someone to do the renovations and get some business certificates and stuff."
He has to deal with procedural items such as business licenses.
As for Chu Xi, she is more troublesome.
Unlike Xu Hao, who is a free man and can do whatever he wants, she also has the identity of a police officer.
Xu Hao asked her to contact Chu Linhai and quit her police job.
As expected, Chu Linhai gave him a scolding.
Xu Huo was used to it, and he hung up the phone only after hearing the old man on the other end cursing and agreeing.
As for Wang Chao, "Next, it's my turn!"
Wang Chao said so.
