The fast food restaurant served three dishes and a soup, with both meat and vegetables. The two worked together in an orderly and tacit manner. Zhang Xiaohui gave each worker a generous portion, which made Jiang Shuya think that she was doing charity work. She only charged 13 yuan per person, with a meager profit that was almost impossible to see.
Zhang Xiaohui watched with a smile as the workers got their meals. She immediately squatted down to the side and ate heartily, feeling extremely satisfied. Jiang Shuya couldn't bear to disturb her enjoyment and quietly cooperated behind her.
After selling more than fifty portions, the bucket was almost empty, with only the reddish brine remaining. As they were packing up, Jiang Shuya helped Zhang Xiaohui calculate the profits. On average, they only made 2 yuan per portion, which amounted to just over 100 yuan.
"Sister Xiaohui, if you calculate it this way, after deducting costs and packaging fees, isn't your profit too low? I haven't even factored in labor costs. If you remove labor costs, you've been working for nothing."
Zhang Xiaohui scratched her head and smiled shyly; "It's okay, as long as we don't lose money. This is also a good opportunity for me to advertise. I've calculated it; selling two meals a day, lunch and dinner, can bring in two hundred yuan. It's better than working a regular job. Don't worry, no matter how much I earn, I'll share half with you."
Jiang Shuya smiled upon hearing this. She thought it was possible to develop Hui Jie's Food Shop into a brand, a food shop that brought together various famous dishes. After thinking about it carefully for a while, she suddenly had an idea: "Xiao Hui, you go back first, I'll go to my sister's house."
Jiang Shuya took the bus all the way to Jiang Shuting's home in Qiaobei New District. This was her first visit since her sister bought a new house, so she brought some gifts, mostly fruits that her sister liked, before arriving at Jiang Shuting's home.
Her younger sister opened the door for her expressionlessly, looking exhausted and sleepy, with heavy dark circles under her eyes. After opening the door for Jiang Shuya, she went straight into the bedroom and collapsed onto the bed.
The new house is decorated quite well. It has two bedrooms and a living room, and is simple and elegant. Each room has a different color scheme, so it won't cause aesthetic fatigue. Chen Lin has good taste. After walking around, he saw Jiang Shuting's lazy appearance on the bed in the bedroom, and Jiang Shuya frowned.
"You went to rob a place last night! You look so tired."
Jiang Shuting squinted, hugging her pillow, and said lazily, "I've been pulling several all-nighters, taking on a few freelance website design jobs, so it's been a bit rushed."
Jiang Shuya knew that her younger sister was determined to start a company, so she explained her purpose.
"I'd like to place an ad on the platform. Could you help me set up a trial price for each first-time orderer, charging only a token packaging fee? This will increase click-through rates, and with more people ordering and building a positive reputation, repeat customers will naturally follow."
Jiang Shuting pouted, her face covered in a mess of hair, and said disdainfully;
"Advertising on the platform doesn't cost much, but have you considered that setting up a personalized ordering experience for each user will result in significant losses initially? A single fast food meal costs at least ten yuan!"
Jiang Shuya pulled her up.
"I know, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub! No matter how good your product is, people need to know about it, right? I can't skimp on the initial investment. If we want to scale up, we have to do it this way. Just do as I say and change the price of each order to 3.9 yuan, which is equivalent to a free meal for the first customer. If you succeed in this, I'll help you get investment later."
Jiang Shuting's eyes lit up upon hearing this;
"Really? You?"
Jiang Shuya rolled her eyes at her;
"That's me. You're registering an electronics technology company, right? You need 1.5 million in start-up capital. You take out a 500,000 loan yourself, and I'll bring in 1 million for you, is that enough?"
Seeing her so confident, Jiang Shuting was instantly wide awake and full of energy, and couldn't help but complain.
"You should have said so earlier! All that work, pulling all-nighters every day, taking on one easy, low-challenge design gig after another."
I turned on my computer, went to the merchant's page, typed away on the keyboard, browsed the food pictures, changed the prices for each item, contacted the platform center, and uploaded a lot of food pictures as required. After all that, I waited for the review to be approved.
Jiang Shuting stretched and shook her head;
"Just waiting for their approval. Advertising costs 3,000 yuan, don't forget to transfer it to me."
Then he added;
"Sis, just between you and me, can you really help me get a million-dollar investment? Did you divorce my brother-in-law and hook up with a rich guy?"
Jiang Shuya's heart tightened, but she remained calm on the surface; "Don't speculate wildly about things that aren't true."
Jiang Shuting pouted;
"You're not going to tell me to ask Huang Minghao, are you? I don't believe it; he doesn't have the ability."
Jiang Shuya frowned;
"Of course not. She'll be back from abroad in a while, and I'll introduce you. You can use this time to design a high-quality mini-program based on the operating model of large shopping malls. If your mini-program has more potential and higher computing power than others, she might consider it."
Jiang Shuting was curious;
"Sister, is that person a man or a woman?"
Jiang Shuya felt a chill run down her spine under her gaze; "Of course it's a woman, you'll see when you meet her."
It's unclear why this piqued her younger sister's curiosity. Shuting never paid attention to such things, but when she saw her older sister's flowing long hair and the faint red mark on her neck, she understood and pointed.
"Did your brother-in-law do this for you?"
Jiang Shuya was somewhat annoyed and hurriedly changed the subject. In the shopping center, they changed several patterns and listed out the problems they would face next. After discussing them carefully, it was already late at night.
She stayed at her sister's house that night. The next day was the weekend, and Jiang Shuya suddenly remembered that she had to go to the online business training class.
Jiang Shuting's eyes lit up when she learned that she still had to go to class;
"What a waste of money! With an expert like me here, why would you need to go to a training center? It's completely unnecessary."
Jiang Shuya retorted;
"Forget it. Just knowing how to build a framework isn't enough. E-commerce business models are constantly changing. I need to find a suitable business model for Sister Hui's Food Shop. If I want to scale it up, I need to learn more and understand more. You don't have that kind of experience, so I'll be the one directing you while you do the actual work."
After saying that, Jiang Shuya left her sister's house and sat on the bus, her thoughts in turmoil. She silently opened her phone; three days had passed, and he still hadn't replied to her messages. Had he forgotten her?
Arriving at the Sanshan Building, we sat quietly for an afternoon listening to the lectures. The lecturers spoke vividly and engagingly, opening up another avenue for business opportunities for each student present.
The structure of the e-commerce model; after two classes, seeing people coming and going, but not him, she couldn't help but feel disappointed. She sat there blankly for a long time until everyone left, and only after being reminded by the staff did she slowly walk out of the building.
