While the excitement of the three "rich people" hadn't subsided, the three children spent half a month rushing to finish the plan.
In addition to the content Lin Wei mentioned, the plan also included all the development areas of unmanned equipment and the development trend over the next 20 years.
“Your brother-in-law has a car. I’ll ask him to allocate one for you to use so you can get started. A year from now, before you graduate with your master’s degree, will the car be able to operate in driverless mode?”
The three of them were taken aback.
Lin Yuan quickly explained, "Sister, you may not know much about this industry. There is no precedent for unmanned operation. We are basically starting from scratch. It may take a year or two to get it done, let alone a year."
Lin Wei frowned. "Even if you find investors, no one can wait for you to realize your dreams in a few years. In business, no one will invest money indefinitely, not even family."
"Your proposal is very well done. Although I am not a student of this subject, I can see your vision for the future of technology. But reality is reality. Since you have a direction for development, you should have a general model. It's not like you're completely clueless and can't figure it out."
I thought the three of them would agree even if it was difficult, but to my surprise, they looked at each other and refused.
"I'm sorry, Sister Weiwei, although we have the idea, we've never actually done it before. We probably can't do it in a year, and we don't want your investment to go down the drain."
So just tell the truth.
Lin Wei wasn't annoyed.
"Don't think I'm making things difficult for you. Since money is involved, I naturally need to think things through clearly. Since this won't work, let me ask you another question. You can write mini-programs, right?"
"That's fine. It depends on what type of miniature model Sister Weiwei wants. It's not too difficult, and we can finish it within a month."
It's 2008 now, but the food delivery industry should be emerging in two years.
Although it's still a long way from becoming a mainstream phenomenon, she could certainly take this opportunity to be the first to try something new.
For example, Zhongguo Burger, a subsidiary of the company, could easily design its own app to allow customers to order food simultaneously in-store and on their mobile phones.
One advantage of ordering food via mobile phone is that you can order before you arrive, and then pick it up as soon as you arrive, without having to wait at all.
She promoted it vigorously, starting with young people to help them get used to it.
After smartphones became widespread, food delivery apps were officially launched, and businesses in the surrounding area worked together to develop this sector.
Look, technological advancements have made life much more convenient for many people.
Lin Wei shared her thoughts with the three people opposite her.
"Is it possible? The Zhongguo Burger APP allows for in-store ordering and delivery ordering. Each item can be listed on the app, so customers can order directly without coming to the store and pick it up. However, this requires connecting to the store's system, which seems quite troublesome. But it's definitely simpler than your unmanned equipment. Can you do it?"
It's more than just being able to do it.
It couldn't be simpler for the three of them.
"It should take about a week. We can make a simple one for you in no time. Take a look and if you think it's feasible, use it directly. If not, tell us what's wrong and we'll fix it on the spot."
"Okay, I'll pay you then. If you can agree to my schedule, you can do it. If not, you can do it yourselves privately."
There was no forced opposition; everything depended on one's own abilities.
-
One week later.
The initial version of the Zhongguo Hamburger APP was officially sent to Lin Wei's phone.
After installation, the overall user experience is definitely not as good as the version that has been revised countless times in later versions.
But Lin Wei wanted all the features she desired.
For example, logging in with your membership account to purchase items can earn you points, and once you accumulate a certain number of points, you can redeem them for a food item at a burger shop.
Who wouldn't want something for free?
This is the system, it's a bit laggy.
"Can this be upgraded? My phone is the latest model and it's lagging, so wouldn't it be even lagging worse on older phones? You need to consider this and improve it, especially in this screen..."
After a series of corrections and revisions, Lin Wei finally got to use the official version half a month later.
However, the phone is not yet connected to the store's system.
"Wait, we can upgrade this at the store tomorrow, but if the store's system goes down, we can't do business."
"I'll go after I get off work in the evening. Anyway, I can't delay the employees from getting off work."
Lin Yuan was speechless. "Sis, are all capitalists like you?"
Heartless and unscrupulous.
"Or are you only like this to us?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Lin Wei shook her head. "You're still a young person who hasn't entered society yet. You haven't seen the dangers of the world. You think I'm a capitalist? You haven't seen how real capitalists exploit people."
"You guys, why don't you go and get a job? My employees think so highly of me, but you guys... humph."
However, Lin Wei thought about it and realized that if she installed it in the middle of the night, not only would time be wasted, but she also wouldn't be able to test whether it would work. After some hesitation, she decided to postpone it until the morning.
The three children stared wide-eyed in shock. "Sister Weiwei, you really know how to cause trouble! We'll stop talking about it, okay? We won't say anything to you anymore."
“You three kids, I didn’t mean to make things difficult for you. I’ve been thinking about it, and it’s really not a good idea to do it at night. Why don’t we do it first thing in the morning? After you’re done, don’t leave. Just sit in the shop and we can order some food to test it out. We can try it a few times to see if there are any problems.”
Meanwhile, An Jing, having already received the news, had invited the sales staff to come and vigorously promote the software to everyone.
New users can get a 5 yuan discount upon registration. If you refer someone else, they will receive a 5 yuan new user coupon, and the referrer will also receive a 5 yuan coupon.
As prices rise, some items at their burger shop have also increased in price by 1-2 yuan.
In addition, the number of people who register or recommend is limited, so they don't owe anything.
Once the app is accepted by the public, whether it's food delivery or in-store ordering, could group buying take off, or could semi-finished products also see a small surge in popularity?
Upon hearing Lin Wei's explanation of the future development of the food company, everyone spontaneously burst into applause.
"A businessman is a businessman after all; a small suggestion can lead to so many money-making schemes," Wang Ying exclaimed in admiration.
Zhang Yanyan glanced at her and said with a smile, "I always felt that you had a backup plan. To be honest, do you have any other plans for the future?"
Lin Wei slammed her hand on the table and stood up, connecting her computer to the LED display screen in the conference room on the second floor of Zhongguo Hamburger Restaurant.
"The Internet effect will definitely continue to grow, because laziness is human nature and no one can resist convenience. If we gather all the laziness together and create an app, we can enable people to order food directly at home and have it delivered to their door. For example, the discounts of various restaurants will be clearly displayed."
