Chapter 193 Whose idea was this?
"Twenty percent?"
Li Ke didn't understand what Lin Zhou meant: "What do you mean?"
Lin Zhou's face was calm. He was holding an orange in his hand and was concentrating on peeling the orange peel bit by bit.
Seeing that Li Ke was puzzled, he glanced at Li Jing calmly and said, "You tell him."
"Okay!"
Li Jing received the instruction and turned her head quickly. She gathered the strands of hair on her forehead and smiled at Li Ke. "Li Ke, although we haven't known each other for long, we are still friends after all. I won't beat around the bush with you!"
She had been silent for a long time and had no interest in the snacks on the table. Now she could no longer hold back and wanted to speak out.
Li Ke frowned slightly, and looked even more confused when he heard this. But he didn't say anything, and patiently listened to Li Jing continue.
"Since the online store in this village has not yet been established, the logistics company's payback period may be long. It would be unfair of us to let you do it alone.
I know your logistics company has only been around for a short time and needs business right now, so I'm thinking, please listen first. If there's anything inappropriate, we can discuss it later!"
"You go ahead!" Li Ke gestured to her.
Li Jing cleared her throat and continued, "My sister's purpose for opening this online store has probably been told to you just now. But that's only one of the reasons. She didn't tell you about the subsequent plans.
"We plan to create our own website later. The future business direction of this website is to collect agricultural products from all over the country and sell them online. We will establish independent logistics warehouses across the country and narrow the delivery range to within 5 kilometers of the logistics warehouse."
"I wonder if you're interested in this?"
Li Jing sat on the stone bench with her arms propped up, staring at the expression on Li Ke's face without blinking.
Tian Xin was surprised. She had only mentioned this briefly and hadn't explained the plan in detail to Li Jing. How did she know about the 5km strategy?
With this question in mind, she turned to look at Lin Zhou, who was also calm beside her. Seeing her turn around, Lin Zhou handed her the orange he had just peeled: "Do you want to eat it?"
"Thank you!" She took the orange, her eyes returned to his face, and her eyebrows moved slightly.
Lin Zhou was startled at first, then he smiled faintly, turned his gaze to the orange in her hand, and gestured to her: "Eat it, I just peeled it!"
Tian Xin's brows furrowed even more: Whose idea was this?
Li Ke's brain was working rapidly at this time, and he quickly thought of these key words in his mind: all over the country, independent warehouses, within 5 kilometers.
What concept?
"Do you mean that the delivery range across the country has been reduced to within 5 kilometers?"
"Yes, do you understand?" Li Jing explained, "It's like an ant moving house, only serving the surrounding area."
"That's a really big deal. Which company has the resources to do that?" Li Ke said with a smile, "Don't you think it's a bit..."
"Imagination?" Li Jing asked back, "Isn't that what you mean?"
Li Ke smiled and didn't respond.
"It seems like a pipe dream now," Li Jing said, her expression suddenly serious after changing her nonchalant expression. "If it really came to fruition, who would dare to say that? The rules of the business world have always been that the bold die of overeating, while the timid die of starvation. If you don't dare, someone else will. There will always be someone who takes the first risk..."
She paused, her eyes radiating the shrewdness of a businessman: "What do you think?"
"So, according to you, you want me to be the first one to try something new?" Li Ke asked tentatively.
Li Jing asked bluntly: "Do you dare to answer?"
"How do you connect it?"
"Okay, I think you're brave enough to ask that!" Li Jing turned around, picked up two boxes of yogurt from the snack bag, and handed one to Li Ke. They clinked like a toast, and she said, "If you want to take this business, you have to help my sister get through this difficult time first. If not, just ignore what I said before!"
After Li Jing finished speaking, she raised the yogurt and shook it towards him, then took a big sip with the straw...
Li Ke's brows furrowed more and more, and he almost crushed the yogurt in his hand.
Tian Xin hadn't expected her to connect the two events. As things stood, running an online store required a significant investment of energy. She simply couldn't spare the time to create the website. Yet, Li Jing was using this as a precondition to "coerce" Li Ke into agreeing to her current request.
This is somewhat...
She leaned close to Li Jing's ear and whispered, "Li Jing, I want to go to the bathroom, do you want to go?"
"I'm not going!"
"You'd better accompany me. I don't dare to go alone!" Tian Xin reached under the table and pinched her arm.
The gesture was a bit obvious. Li Jing reacted, glanced at her, and said to the other two: "Then you two chat first!" and pulled Tian Xin out of the pavilion.
As soon as they walked away, Tian Xin couldn't wait to pour out all the questions in her mind:
"How did you come up with such a detailed plan for the website?"
"Maybe I don't have the time to do this right now? You're just fooling Li Ke by saying that, aren't you?"
"I want this current logistics point to become a transfer station for later stages, about the same distance as you mentioned, 5 kilometers. I need to find a way to get him to agree to this first!"
She chattered for a long time, pouring out her thoughts like beans, without noticing Li Jing's helpless expression.
"Hey, sister, have you forgotten that you have a boyfriend?" Li Jing teased.
"Tsk, don't talk about that!" Tian Xin said angrily: "This has nothing to do with him, don't talk nonsense!"
"What's the big deal?" Li Jing was puzzled. "He has money, so he can solve the fundamental problem!"
"That's even more unacceptable!" Tian Xin said, "After all, this is my business. Why involve him?" She paused, then realized, "Oh, and you, don't worry about it! I'm already very grateful that you can help me find someone. Don't make me owe you any more favors. I can't afford it!"
"What are you talking about?"
Li Jing was immediately displeased when she heard this. She stood there with her arms folded, angrily saying, "We're helping you because we treat you as our friend, but you treat us as outsiders?"
"no……"
"What's 'not'? Who's asking you to repay a favor?" Li Jing interrupted her. "I finally convinced my parents to join you in this murky online sales business and try to make some money. And you're rejecting me before we even start! What's your intention? How can you be a friend like that?"
The tone of these words was no longer gentle, but a clear question.
Tian Xin didn't expect Li Jing to say that. It's only been a few days, and she's already considered this?
She was so shocked that she couldn't process what was going on. "What did you just say? You've decided... to build this website?"
