Rebirth begins with rejecting Qingmei

Chapter 1474 Food Delivery Platform
Xu Xiuwen was about to speak.

Yang Baishan suddenly sighed, "Even if I start over with someone else, I can't guarantee they won't cheat on me! The outcome might not be much better than it is now!"

Hearing his words, everyone present was speechless.

Yang Baishan is a typical example of someone who, once bitten by a snake, is afraid of ropes for ten years.

Jin Haonan spoke first: "Old Yang, can't you be a little more shrewd? You think a woman can defeat you? If you're a man, stand up straight and be confident."

Guo Shasha also said, "Brother Yang, not all girls will cheat. You should have faith in others!"

Hearing what the two said, Yang Baishan did not adjust his state.

He continued in a self-deprecating tone, "You make it sound so easy. What girl doesn't like money? With my penniless appearance, what girl could stay with me forever? We'll break up sooner or later!"

Jin Haonan and Guo Shasha were both helpless against Yang Baishan.

This person is completely impervious to reason.

Jin Haonan knew that Yang Baishan had always respected and admired Xu Xiuwen.

If it were Xu Xiuwen who said it, he might be able to listen to him.

therefore.

Jin Haonan cast an expectant look at Xu Xiuwen.

Guo Shasha also unconsciously looked at Xu Xiuwen.

Although no one will say it, everyone knows who the real protagonist is here.

Xu Xiuwen said, "Old Yang, I don't think every girl cares about money, so your thinking is a bit extreme, but..."

His sudden change of topic piqued the interest of the three of them.

Yang Baishan subconsciously pressed, "But what?"

Xu Xiuwen said, "However, if you are really worried about this, I have thought of a way to make money."

Upon hearing the method of making money, all three people present were stunned.

next second.

Yang Baishan asked excitedly, "Xiuwen? What method?"

Xu Xiuwen said, "Let's build a food delivery platform!"

After he finished speaking, all three of them looked puzzled.

Clearly, the three of them did not immediately understand what he meant by 'food delivery platform'.

Xu Xiuwen observed all three people's reactions.

He patiently explained, "Take my day for example. I was hungry, but I didn't want to cook for myself or go out to eat. At that moment, I only had one option: to have someone deliver food to me."

The three of them nodded in unison.

However, the three of them were still completely confused and couldn't guess what Xu Xiuwen was trying to express.

Xu Xiuwen continued, "There are two other scenarios for delivering meals. One is to have your parents or friends cook the food themselves and then deliver it. The other is to have someone buy the food from a restaurant and then deliver it personally. Let's ignore the former for now. For the second scenario, I asked Lao Yang for help, but what if other people also want their meals delivered?"

Yang Baishan immediately replied, "He can just find someone to deliver his food too."

Xu Xiuwen nodded, then asked, "But what if he can't find someone to deliver his food?"

Yang Baishan couldn't answer.

Xu Xiuwen smiled and said, "This gives food delivery platforms room to operate."

There was a pause.

He continued, "If there were a platform where everyone could find any restaurant, order food, and the restaurant would prepare the meal, and a delivery person would deliver it to the customer, charging a small fee for the process, would you use it?"

Yang Baishan thought to himself: I don't need it.

Because his living expenses were never enough.

He often ate at the school cafeteria and frequently ate at Jin Haonan's place.

Tell him to go to the restaurant to order food, and then give the delivery person a small fee.

He wouldn't bear to part with it.

Jin Haonan asked at the opportune moment, "Xiuwen, I understand what you're saying, but why doesn't the restaurant owner deliver it himself?"

Xu Xiuwen said, "If only one customer orders at the same time, the boss can deliver it. Maybe three or five customers order at the same time, and because they live nearby, the food can still be delivered. But what if dozens or even hundreds of people order at the same time? Can the boss still deliver it all?"

Jin Haonan said, "The restaurant owner could simply have his employees deliver it!"

Xu Xiuwen asked, "How many employees will the boss need to hire? Will these employees only be responsible for delivering food, or will they be responsible for both other tasks and food delivery? What if the store is short-staffed and can't keep up with the demand if they go out to deliver food?"

Jin Haonan said, "Then we'll hire a few more employees."

Before Xu Xiuwen could speak, Guo Shasha interjected, "Brother Hao, your idea won't work because not every restaurant can afford to hire that many employees. And if they hire a lot of people but there aren't enough customers, the owner will lose money."

When Jin Haonan heard Guo Shasha say that, he instinctively wanted to refute her, but he couldn't find a way to refute her.

Xu Xiuwen said, "Let me put it simply: the number of customers from Monday to Friday is definitely different from the number of customers on Saturday and Sunday. Should the boss hire people based on the former or the latter? If he hires people based on the former, the number of people he hires will be just enough, but on Saturday and Sunday, there won't be enough people. If he hires people based on the latter, there will be wasted staff from Monday to Friday, which will greatly increase the restaurant's costs. This is extremely uneconomical for the restaurant."

Upon hearing Xu Xiuwen's detailed explanation, Jin Haonan instantly understood.

Xu Xiuwen continued, "If the platform provides delivery drivers, one for each order, more for more orders and fewer for fewer orders, then restaurants won't have to bear this labor cost. Wouldn't that be especially convenient and easy for restaurants?"

Yang Baishan asked, "But where are we going to find so many food delivery drivers?"

Xu Xiuwen smiled and said, "We're hiring!"

Yang Baishan said, "But how do we know how many people we need to hire? What if no one uses the food delivery platform to order food, and the restaurants don't use the delivery drivers provided by the platform? Wouldn't the platform lose money?"

Xu Xiuwen didn't answer, but instead asked with a smile, "Old Yang, have you ever thought about the possibility that in ten or twenty years, everyone's life will be inseparable from food delivery platforms, and everyone will order food on these platforms at least once a week, if not every day..."

Xu Xiuwen described the booming food delivery industry of his previous life to the three of them.

Although his eloquence wasn't particularly outstanding, Yang Baishan's face turned bright red after hearing his description.

Even Jin Haonan's breathing became rapid.

Even a fool would realize, after listening to Xu Xiuwen's explanation, that the food delivery platform is like a hen that places orders.

Yang Baishan couldn't help but ask, "Xiuwen, you've described the prospects of food delivery platforms so well, so are you planning to go into this industry?"

Xu Xiuwen nodded and then shook his head.

Yang Baishan couldn't understand it.

Guo Shasha guessed Xu Xiuwen's thoughts.

Jin Haonan had guessed it too.

Xu Xiuwen said, "I do intend to enter this industry, but I don't plan to do it myself. I want you to do it."

"Me?" Yang Baishan's eyes widened in surprise!

Jin Haonan gasped.

He had already glimpsed the huge future market for food delivery platforms through Xu Xiuwen's description.

The benefits this platform can generate are absolutely enormous.

As a result, Xu Xiuwen actually planned to hand it over to Yang Baishan to handle.

At that moment, Jin Haonan felt a sense of injustice.

He had a very good relationship with both Yang Baishan and Xu Xiuwen.

Why did Xu Xiuwen plan to make money with Yang Baishan, but never thought of bringing him along?
At this time.

Xu Xiuwen suddenly said, "Brother Hao, if you're interested, you can work with Lao Yang!"

Jin Haonan was stunned.

He immediately felt ashamed of his earlier thought.

How could Xu Xiuwen possibly forget him?

Moreover, even if Xu Xiuwen was unwilling to bring him along to make money, that was to be expected.

He has absolutely no right to blame Xu Xiuwen!

Seeing that Jin Haonan didn't speak, Xu Xiuwen assumed he wasn't interested, so he continued to ask Yang Baishan, "So, Old Yang, are you interested?"

Yang Baishan looked conflicted. To be honest, he was very interested, but he lacked confidence.

He didn't think he could handle such a huge task!

Yang Baishan hesitated and said, "Xiuwen, why don't you do it yourself instead of asking me to do it?"

Xu Xiuwen laughed, "I'm just one person, I can't possibly manage everything, so I can only bring others on board and let them handle it!"

In fact, he didn't say anything.

That's because he's so busy dealing with his romantic relationships that he doesn't have time to build a food delivery platform.

To date, there are very few things that Hsu Hsiu-wen still does personally.

He was only responsible for a small part of the company's affairs.

As for the wineries and air conditioner manufacturers, they hardly get involved.

He has always entrusted the management of the future chain coffee shop, "Coffee Prince," to the Qiao sisters, and the opening of branches has also been entirely entrusted to Liu Xinran.

Human energy is limited.

It's impossible for Xu Xiuwen to handle everything perfectly.

Putting aside the fact that a person's energy is limited, his personal abilities are not particularly strong either.

He just has a broader perspective than others.

Xu Xiuwen was very self-aware.

Professional tasks should be left to professionals.

Some might say that professional matters should be left to professionals.

Why did Xu Xiuwen entrust the task of creating a food delivery platform to Yang Baishan?
What abilities does Yang Baishan have to run a successful food delivery platform?
The answer to this question is actually quite simple.

It's 2007 now.

Ele.me was founded in 2008, and Meituan was launched in 2010.

If we look 10 years ahead, even if Xu Xiuwen were to take charge personally, he wouldn't dare say he could compete with the two major food delivery platforms, let alone hand it over to Yang Baishan.

But it's 2007 now!
Xu Xiuwen has a significant advantage in terms of time and money.

These two advantages are enough to outweigh the disadvantages in personal ability.

Even if Yang Baishan were truly so incompetent that he couldn't have accomplished this, let's say...

The worst outcome would be that Xu Xiuwen would give up the industry and lose a lot of money.

For Xu Xiuwen now, the thing he can afford to lose the most is money.

He no longer knows how much money he needs to earn each day.

The winery, the company, and the future air conditioning factory and chain coffee shops will all generate a steady stream of money for him.

And who dares to say that Yang Baishan definitely wouldn't succeed with his help?
Xu Xiuwen was willing to give Yang Baishan a chance.

Because he found Yang Baishan pleasing to the eye.

Yang Baishan said, "But what if I fail and you end up owing me money?"

Xu Xiuwen laughed loudly, "So what if I lose money? As long as you didn't put it in your pocket, I won't blame you no matter how much money I lose. Besides, I can afford to lose it!"

His words exuded a strong sense of self-confidence.

When Guo Shasha saw this, she turned into the ultimate fangirl.

Her eyes were almost sparkling.

Yang Baishan seemed to be infected by Xu Xiuwen's confidence.

He said, "I am indeed very interested in the food delivery platform you mentioned. Since you trust me, Xiuwen, I'm willing to work with you!"

Xu Xiuwen smiled instantly.

He reached out and patted Yang Baishan on the shoulder, saying, "I like your personality, right? At worst, you'll fail. If you succeed, you'll be one of the richest people in the country. At that time, not to mention one girlfriend, I don't know how many girls will throw themselves at you!"

Upon hearing Xu Xiuwen's description, Yang Baishan was instantly thrilled just imagining the scene.

He is not greedy.

He would be content as long as he found a girlfriend who loved him wholeheartedly.

However, Yang Baishan was unaware of how naive his thoughts were.

Seeing that Yang Baishan agreed to work with him on the food delivery platform, Xu Xiuwen then turned his attention to Jin Haonan.

"Brother Hao, what about you? What do you think?"

Yang Baishan and Guo Shasha immediately looked at Jin Haonan.

Under the gaze of the three, Jin Haonan's expression showed slight hesitation.

He said, "Xiuwen, I never thought about starting a food delivery platform. What you said today was too sudden; I wasn't prepared at all..."

He really wanted to say, "Could you give me some time to think about it?"

Because Jin Haonan had been preparing to go abroad.

His previous plan was to wait until he graduated from university and then take the postgraduate entrance exam in Russia or work there.

This brought him one step closer to Qingmei.

However, Xu Xiuwen's words had completely moved him.

If everything goes well, he could become a very wealthy man in the future.

If he becomes successful in his career, the probability of him marrying his childhood sweetheart will only increase, not decrease.

Jin Haonan didn't say it directly because he was worried that Xu Xiuwen would get angry.

Because in his view, this was entirely Xu Xiuwen's way of giving him and Yang Baishan an opportunity.

He still hesitated, which was disappointing.
Xu Xiuwen smiled after hearing Jin Haonan's words.

"Brother Hao, you're right. What I said today was indeed rather sudden. You and Lao Yang can go back and think it over carefully before giving me an answer. There's no rush!"

Yang Baishan became a little anxious upon hearing this.

He urged, "Brother Hao, what are you still thinking about? Just agree! You don't have to pay anything, you just need to provide a person!"

He paused for a moment at this point.

Yang Baishan turned to Xu Xiuwen and asked, "Xiuwen, you're paying for this, right? You know I don't even have enough for living expenses!"

Xu Xiuwen smiled and said, "Of course I'll pay for it. I'll cover all the expenses in the early stages. You two just need to contribute your manpower."

Yang Baishan was immediately relieved after hearing this.

He said to Jin Haonan again, "Brother Hao, what are you still hesitating for? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Jin Haonan still insisted on going back to think about it.

He mustered his courage and said to Xu Xiuwen, "Xiuwen, I want to go back and think about it seriously!"

“Okay, no problem.” Xu Xiuwen agreed immediately.

"Thank you for editing!" Jin Haonan felt a little embarrassed.

Xu Xiuwen laughed and said, "We're all brothers, let's not talk about this."

Seeing this, Yang Baishan stopped urging him.

He suddenly shouted, "Xiuwen, I want to have another drink with you!"

This time, Xu Xiuwen did not stop him.

He watched as Yang Baishan opened a new bottle of wine.

Yang Baishan poured baijiu into all three of their glasses.

The three of them raised their glasses, clinked them together lightly, and then drank them down in one gulp.

last of the last.

Yang Baishan got drunk.

Jin Haonan was also drunk, but he could still walk on his own.
