He Wenlin looked at her second brother and said with a smile, "You've finally been smart this time. Security guards are just employees. They can't disobey orders from their superiors. As long as we don't enter through the main gate, they'll turn a blind eye. From now on, we'll buy them breakfast every few days and occasionally give them a couple of packs of cigarettes. People are bound to be grateful for what you give them. They'll pretend they didn't see it. How much did you spend on cigarettes today? I won't let you pay for it."
He Wenlin is not like some bosses or leaders who ask their subordinates to buy things and then don't pay them back, pretending they forgot. How much do people earn per month for their jobs?
Peng Liang scratched his head and laughed, "It's only forty yuan, forget it."
"Forty yuan is nothing, Mr. Peng, you've struck it rich!" He Wenlin joked as she counted the money for him.
Then, He Wenlin added, "In a little while, we'll go to the school and see if we can squeeze the takeout food through the gap in the fence."
The walls of the College of Arts and Sciences are made of iron fences with gaps in the middle. Rectangular takeout boxes should fit in without much problem, but He Wenlin makes porridge and rice bowl takeout, and the boxes are round and quite large, so it's not certain that they will fit in.
After dinner, He Wenlin, Peng Liang, and her second brother went to the College of Arts and Sciences. They tried it out and found that wontons could be put in because the wonton packaging box was a bit small. However, rice bowls, hand-grabbed rice, and porridge could not be put in; they had to be placed sideways.
But He Wenlin has to deliver more than a hundred takeout orders at a time. How long will it take to deliver them all?
"That unscrupulous businessman is really asking for trouble. He brought this upon himself and now he's even causing our food delivery service to be unable to get through." The second brother was furious.
If I can't deliver food, I'll lose several thousand yuan a month.
"If this doesn't work, we'll have to try other methods."
"What method?" Peng Liang asked, "Take down a fence?"
“I would like to, but if someone sees us, we’ll have to pay compensation,” He Wenlin said. “Paying compensation is a small matter. The problem is that if we dismantle it, and students or thieves come in and something happens, it will be our responsibility. Moreover, the current state of the school affects not only us, but also other fast food restaurants outside. So even if we don’t do anything, others will naturally do it, and even some students might dismantle one.”
Since others can do it, there's no need to do it yourself.
If someone else does the dirty work and something goes wrong, you can't blame yourself.
"So what do we do now?"
He Wenlin: "The school says that takeout is not allowed, but they will not check students' packages. We can put takeout in a plastic basket and put a black bag over the plastic basket. Who would know that it is takeout?"
Security guards neither have the right nor the right to inspect students' personal belongings. Remember to give them a couple of packs of cigarettes and breakfast every now and then. Even if they know, they won't report it or stop you. But try to avoid their sight during transactions; don't make things difficult for them.
The second brother slapped his thigh: "Great idea!"
“Let’s do it this way first!” He Wenlin said to Peng Liangliang. “Call Zhou Yuxin and explain it to them.”
The inability to deliver food is a concern not only for businesses but also for students like Zhou Yuxin, who rely on it to earn their living expenses.
Now, by doing this, Zhou Yuxin and her five roommates each earn about ten yuan a day.
For students in 2000, ten yuan a day was already a lot.
After all, monthly living expenses are only three or four hundred yuan, and some families with poor conditions don't even have that.
Moreover, earning ten yuan is not difficult.
When He Wenlin and the others returned to the store, Zhou Yuxin and the others were already waiting there.
"Mr. He, you're finally back. But now delivery services aren't allowed in. What are we going to do?" Zhou Yuxin said.
He Wenlin comforted her, "Sister Zhou, don't worry."
“Many people have asked me for a refund because of this,” Zhou Yuxin said, then cautiously asked, “You will refund the money, right?”
He Wenlin asked with a smile, "Don't think about getting a refund yet. If there's a problem, we'll solve it. Don't you want to earn some pocket money?"
Xin Xin: "Of course I want to earn money, but I need to have the opportunity first."
This money is easy to earn, and it doesn't interfere with school. I wonder how many classmates would like to do the same thing as them.
Zhou Yuxin's eyes lit up: "You have a way to solve this?"
"This is easy to solve. Starting this afternoon, we'll put the takeout orders in large crates, and we'll put a black plastic bag over each crate so that no one can see who's inside. We'll take care of the security guards at the gate. I've already asked Peng Liang to buy plastic crates. When you're handing over the orders, try to avoid the security guards and don't make it too obvious."
Also, there are definitely students coming in and out of the school late at night. You could try asking around to find out how they get in and out.
He Wenlin felt that there must be a hidden spot in the school where a fence was missing.
"As for the voucher refund, it's definitely non-refundable. It's written on the voucher. When you talk to your classmates, just talk about the environment of our fast food restaurant and how good our ingredients are. Other restaurants are not open yet, which means they are undergoing rectification because they are not up to standard. But we are able to open, which is enough to prove that we are doing a good job. Praise our restaurant to them as much as possible. Don't exaggerate, just be truthful."
Hearing He Wenlin say this, and since Zhou Yuxin and the others also wanted to earn living expenses, they immediately returned to school and did as He Wenlin instructed.
Two shops opened outside the school in the afternoon, but He Wenlin had received orders in advance, so those two shops reopened, but it wouldn't affect He Wenlin's business for the time being.
In the afternoon, He Wenlin received 153 takeout orders from the College of Arts and Sciences!
In addition, Peng Liang went to Hongrui in the afternoon, where there were still 89 takeout orders.
Upon seeing the order, He Wenlin asked, "Is Huang Ji not open yet?"
If Huang Ji were to open, there wouldn't be so many orders; it would take away some customers.
Peng Liang laughed and said, "No, quite a few people in Hongrui Factory have also bought Huang Ji's vouchers. Some customers have called to ask, and Huang Ji said they will be open tomorrow."
The second brother sighed, "If only they had kept the door closed all the time."
“Even if they close down, there will be other Zhang's and Li's shops. We can never be a monopoly.” After saying that, He Wenlin asked Peng Liang, “Aren’t any workers clamoring for a refund?”
"Not yet, because we sold a batch of vouchers before. Even if Huang Ji continues to offer vouchers at a 66% discount, no one will buy them. So the vouchers that the workers have are from a long time ago, and only a few people still have a little bit left unused."
"The delivery person you sent this afternoon conveyed the same message to the workers: the reason our store can continue operating is because we have all the necessary permits, maintain good hygiene, and use fresh ingredients. That's why we can continue operating while others are undergoing renovations."
He Wenlin didn't know why Huang Ji and the other shops outside the school were closed, but all He Wenlin needed to do was praise herself; as for the rest, the customers could imagine it themselves.
