Chapter 39
Finally the meal was over. Seeing that the discussion was about to end, Jiang Li racked his brains to find a new topic.
"I've asked someone to look for the place you asked me to find for the dog. I've got an idea. I'll take you to see it once I find it," Jiang Li said.
Lin Gui had been busy with exhibition-related matters for some time, and there had been no progress in recruiting a person in charge of Xiaowangzhuang, so he put the matter aside for the time being. He took Dahuang to Xiaowangzhuang every week to check it out, but there was no follow-up.
After hearing Jiang Li mention this matter, I decided to deal with this matter carefully next.
"Okay, okay. I'll come over as soon as you notify me." Lin Gui replied.
After dinner, it was time to break up the party. Lin Gui, as the host, hadn't mentioned leaving yet, and Jiang Li was reluctant to bring it up. Finally, it was Jiang Yi who said, "Dinner is over, let's go out."
Finally, the three of them left the box. After parting with the brother and sister, Lin Gui could finally go back and got in the car. Lin Gui had time to open the system and take a closer look.
In the middle of the meal, the system suddenly upgraded. Lin Gui had looked at the experience points in advance and knew that it would be upgraded in the next few days, but he did not expect the benefits brought by the exhibition to be so high. This was only the first day after the exhibition, but the growth rate had caught up with Lin Gui's previous week's growth rate.
However, it seems that Zhou Xiao and Tang Mingcheng are also very busy today.
Lin Gui opened the panel and took a look, and found that the rewards were still the same things. There was no demand recently, and there was no need for 009 to change the order of rewards. He wanted to see what the rewards in the order were.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully upgrading! Current level: Level 9, 8000 more points needed to reach the next level]
[Obtain: Automatic filling shelf * 1]
[Congratulations to the host for lighting up a new snack: tender duck strips. For the recipe, please go to the recipe page.]
【Tender and smooth duck strips
Main ingredients: duck leg
Details: Tender duck meat is the best food for cats. Who can resist the temptation of feeding the cat personally?
】
【Pet Collar
Details: You must wear a small collar when you go out! It has multiple functions, including GPS positioning, anti-stress, reflective strips, ultra-low power consumption, etc. All pet owners must buy it!
】
Pet collar! This is a great thing. If it really has as many functions as the introduction says, Lin Gui has decided to promote it vigorously. She will promote it vigorously on her WeChat Moments and video accounts. For the safety of her pets, everyone must buy it.
After returning to the store, Lin Gui could feel the hustle and bustle before entering. He quickly went in to see that Zhou Xiao was busy with the cashier and Tang Mingcheng was busy packing. There was still a long queue at the cashier counter. Even after Lin Gui's store doubled in size, it was still not enough.
Looking at Dahuang, its small fence is full of small pets brought by customers. Fortunately, Dahuang can control them. We shouldn’t have reduced Dahuang’s activity area at that time. Now it is not enough.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Gui quickly walked through the crowd and came to the cashier counter to help Zhou Xiao and Tang Mingcheng with their work. When they saw Lin Gui coming back, they smiled with relief and didn't have time to say anything before they started working with the next customer.
Lin Gui was familiar with these operations. She helped Zhou Xiao with the cashier and packing. Gradually, the queue in front was not very long, and the speed of cashiering kept up with the speed of queuing. Once the rhythm was restored, it didn't seem so chaotic anymore.
Zhou Xiao finally freed his hands, sighed deeply, and said, "Boss, you're back just in time. You don't know, it was already noon after you left, and the crowd should have been getting smaller and smaller, but it turned out to be getting larger and larger. We both wish we had eight hands."
Tang Mingcheng couldn't stop nodding behind him.
Lin Gui was also very curious about the surge in traffic. The growth rate was far beyond expectations, but he didn't have time to think about it now and had to take care of these customers as soon as possible.
Finally, around three or four in the afternoon, the flow of people decreased, and Zhou Xiao and the others could finally take a break. Because there were too many people, they ate lunch one by one, which was completely different from the lunch break that Lin Gui had promised them before.
Due to the sudden increase in workload and the fact that many people would definitely come this weekend, Lin Gui couldn't handle it alone, so Lin Gui generously gave them a raise and asked them to come to work this weekend, and then take turns to rest when the recruits arrived.
After a moment of leisure, Lin Gui pondered the reason for the sudden increase in traffic and asked 009. 009, the internet butler, of course knew the answer: "Host, your exhibition videos are very popular. The most famous one is Anxin BBQ, followed by ours."
Lin Gui opened her phone and saw that a pet blogger had filmed the puppies arguing in front of the barbecue booth. Everyone was curious about the barbecue that attracted the puppies, and Anxin BBQ took advantage of the situation and bought a wave of hot searches, so their meat became completely popular.
Everywhere you look, you can hear comments like, "The food is carefully selected by the puppy, so it must be delicious." "I want to show my dog that what I eat is better than what he eats." "Even the puppy is attracted to it, so what else can I do?"
Obviously, everyone was tempted by the meat, so it seems that the uncle's ranch does not need to be reformed.
As the trending search went viral, the small meatballs that Lin Gui fed to the puppy also attracted people's attention. Everyone was curious about this small snack that could soothe a quarreling dog.
Lin Gui knew that Dahuang’s soothing contribution accounted for six points, and the remaining four points could be given to the meatballs. However, people could not see Dahuang’s outstanding contribution in the video, and they all gave all the credit to the snacks. As a result, Lin Gui’s store became popular.
Anxin BBQ operates online and ships directly from store to store, but Lin Gui has not yet launched this service, so purchasing agents came into being.
Lin Gui couldn't help but admire everyone's speed. Her store became popular in the morning, and purchasing agents came out at noon. There are always people with money who want to try the latest products, and there are many people who seize the business opportunities. No wonder there is always a queue in the store. Purchasing agents come to buy as soon as they receive an order, and they buy a lot each time, so of course the checkout is slow.
Fortunately, the system did not count these sales only to the purchasing agent, otherwise Lin Gui’s business growth would definitely not be so fast.
However, problems will arise sooner or later if goods are always purchased and sold by agents, so the online platform must be built as soon as possible.
The operations staff recruited earlier would not arrive for another week, and Lin Gui didn't feel comfortable disturbing them, so she poked 009.
"Smart 009, you must be able to handle things on the Internet easily." Lin Gui flattered
009 popped up: "Of course, my high surfing speed isn't in vain."
"I saw you shining in our comments section before, I think it must be quick and easy to deal with people online."
"It's okay, just average." 009 was being modest.
"Do you want our Ertu Snack Shop to go beyond Pingshi, go international, and step into the world?" Lin Gui promoted.
"Of course, of course. That's a must." 009 agreed.
"Well, I have a small favor to ask of you, the incredibly clever 009. It's a piece of cake for you, but it's a huge favor for me."
"Host, tell me, what is our relationship? We are not afraid of anything, even if it means going through fire and water." 009 almost patted his chest.
Seeing a good opportunity, Lin Gui asked 009 if he could run the online store. 009 was stunned for a long time before saying to Lin Gui, "But host, we have a rule that we can't interfere with the business of the bound person. I'm helping you run it, so I guess that's meddling, right? This is different from what I said in the comment section before."
Lin Gui thought carefully about 009's concerns and indeed did not take into account 009's rules. Operation and management were quite compatible.
Suddenly, Lin Gui didn't know what to do. At this time, 009 gave Lin Gui a good idea.
"Host, you can spend points to let me do this job. It's equivalent to hiring me for a part of my functions. It's a salary, so I can do it."
Lin Guilai became more alert and asked how much it would cost per month to recruit 009.
"Two points a day, that's pretty cheap, right?" 009 said with a smile.
A bottle of cat oral liquid only gives 5 points. Lin Gui saved them for several days at that time. Even though the points increase faster now, he still can't spend them two by two a day.
009 said, "Host, please consider this. Two points can help you save a lot of manpower."
Lin Gui is still calculating. Now the average points increase is about two per day. Lin Gui also wants to save them for important times. He has accumulated 239 points in the past few days. If he spends two points to ask 009 for help, the profit will remain the same. However, opening an online business will definitely increase the points, which should be more than the current increase. After all, only people in the same city or even nearby come to buy in the physical store.
So Lin Gui decided to hire 009, but of course, he couldn't take it so easily. He started bargaining: "Hiring only you doesn't save much manpower. You see, packing the items and delivering them all takes time, energy, and money. It's not cost-effective to only cover operations with two points. I'll have to put in a lot of money, after all, points are hard to earn."
009 also knew Lin Gui's difficulties and said, "Don't worry, host. I will report your difficulties to the main system."
"Okay, okay." Lin Gui happily waited for 009's feedback.
To Lin Gui's surprise, 009 actually brought down the main system's clone and said, "Host, I've entangled the main system. It won't listen to me. What do you say to it?"
Lin Gui didn't expect that the main system could also come down. It turned into a small mechanical ball like 009, but 009 was blue and the main system was silver.
At this time, the silver ball spoke: "Host No. 009, what are your needs?"
Lin Gui repeated the discussion with 009 to the silver ball. After listening, it said, "009 has reported all of this to me. I don't allow this kind of situation here. Hiring operations is already a violation of the rules."
"I'm shipping the goods, so what if they're returned? I can't handle a large batch of returns, and it's all for the better development of the store. I hope you can be flexible."
The main system was silent for a long time, obviously considering the issue of returns.
Lin Gui then said, "How about this? I won't make it difficult for you. How about I spend my points to buy the express delivery service? Animal nutrition milk can use this express delivery service. I think this is also fine with me."
