Back to eighteen, if I don't stand up, I'll be wasted

Chapter 176 Give Me Whatever You Think I’m Worth

October was over in the blink of an eye. After exactly one month of classes, Li Yi could remember which classes he had taken but could not hear a single word of what was said in class.

But he felt that his learning attitude was pretty good and he only skipped one class in total.

Ririxiang is expanding its production capacity every day, and its previous inventory cannot keep up with the demand from takeout stores.

The pre-prepared meal model is a perfect match for takeout, with extremely fast food delivery speed, unparalleled price advantage, and the fact that society has not yet developed an aversion to pre-prepared meals.

In the entire Yunzhou, 30% of the takeout market share is taken up by 50 pre-prepared food takeout stores.

Many riders specifically wait for orders next to those stores, and are unwilling to go to takeout shops that are slightly out of the way.

This creates a cycle...

When ordering other dishes and the waiting time becomes longer and longer, many customers can't help but cancel their orders.

If a takeout shop finds out that a customer has canceled the order after the order is halfway through or has already been prepared, there is nothing they can do.

Yu Mancang went to Beijing and personally led the opening of several takeout stores there. He was shocked by the takeout data in Beijing.

Each store hired three people, but they were still too busy to handle the work.

This is just a pre-made meal.

Get a big pot with hot water in it, put the pre-prepared food in it to heat it up, then put a bowl of rice in it, open the package of the pre-prepared food and pour it in.

A large pot can heat up 20 bags of pre-prepared meals at the same time, and they can be heated up in just two minutes.

On average, a takeout shop can process ten orders in one minute. Including the packing time, on average, it takes about three minutes to process ten orders.

When it's time for dinner, I basically have no free time for those two hours.

Any store can easily handle more than a thousand orders a day.

As for cost?

Opening a store in Beijing will certainly cost more, but at this rate, you can easily make back your investment in half a month.

There is no such lucrative project in the world.

In Yunzhou's takeout shops, there are basically only two to three hundred orders a day, which doesn't seem that scary.

The one in the capital has just opened and is more than three times the size of Yunzhou.

These five stores are enough to ensure that Ririxiang’s logistics and distribution will not lose money.

After he came back, he immediately arranged manpower to expand the production capacity of Ririxiang.

Various equipment were purchased immediately and more staff were recruited.

Of course, a contract was also signed with Li Yi’s Duocai Duoyi Studio.

Beijing is such a large city with such a huge market that even if a hundred stores are opened, they won’t affect each other.

There is also the Magic City and the Deep City...

The bigger the takeaway store owner platform can become, the more RiRiXiang’s production capacity can be increased.

The 10 billion yuan revenue is indeed a bit exaggerated, but this is the first time in his life that he has encountered such an easy industry.

On the surface, RiRiXiang has only a few hundred employees, but in fact, it is involved in many industries, involving the work of thousands of people upstream and downstream.

If this can reach a scale of tens of billions, it will involve at least tens of thousands of people.

In Yunzhou, this scale is not the first, but it is enough for Yu Mancang to move around freely.

After all, no matter where in the country, economic employment is the first core indicator.

This guy Li Yi is really a genius.

Yu Mancang didn't understand why Li Yi, with his background like that, could have developed his current way of thinking.

He didn't pay attention to Li Yi's family situation before, but he has specifically inquired about it in the past few days.

"Li Honggang... do you want to go meet him?"

……

villa.

Song Xin has been having lunch here for several days in a row.

She used to have lunch and dinner at school and only came back on Saturdays and Sundays.

But recently, she has been so poor that she would rather take the bus for an hour and a half to and from school every day.

After all, a round trip bus trip only costs two dollars, and a meal in the school cafeteria costs at least five dollars.

Every penny saved counts, since she had just received her salary and had to give it away before it even warmed up.

This is not enough!

There is still some money in my mother's hospital card, but she can't touch it now.

While they were eating, Xia Panpan suddenly asked, "Has anyone heard of the name Li Honggang? I looked it up today and found out he's the legal representative of our company. The legal representative should be the one who pays the bills, right?"

"what?"

"Song Xin, have you heard? Didn't Li Yi say before that the boss is a woman?"

"No, no, no, I haven't heard of it. I'm also confused."

"There's no need for Li Yi to lie to us. Could it be that Li Honggang just started the company and handed it over to his daughter?"

"But... maybe..."

After dinner, Song Xin returned to the room and started checking on the computer.

She had never thought about this before.

Soon, she found the basic information of Wuyou Media, including the legal person and shareholder structure.

The legal person is indeed Li Honggang.

Among the shareholders, she only saw one called Duoduocaiduoyi Studio and Yu Mancang.

She checked Duocai Duoyi Studio again and found Li Honggang as the legal person, and then...

Li Yi!

Li Yi controls Wuyou Media through Duocai Duoyi Studio!
Not only that, Song Xin also discovered a company called Yige E-Sports, a takeaway store owner platform, Sanwei Sansheng Catering, and Miniso through the Duocai Duoyi Studio.

Then, under the name of Wuyou Media, we found the Ririxiang Group.

Behind this series of companies, Duocai Duoyi Studio is the major shareholder, and even a large part of them has absolute control.

She knew that the legal representative could not represent anything and could easily be blamed if something went wrong with the company. What really mattered was the shareholding ratio.

Li Yi is in control of all these companies.

What does this mean?
Li Yi is the boss of Wuyou Media!

Although Wuyou Media has another boss, Yu Mancang, his shareholding is very low.

Song Xin didn't know much about other companies, nor was he sure about their scale.

But Wuyou Media is definitely making money, paying out 600,000 to 700,000 yuan in salaries every month. Xia Panpan and Cheng Mo each get 200,000 to 300,000 yuan.

Li Yi will only earn more.

"No wonder this guy suddenly changed... He's so rich now."

"It seems... I really can't find any excuse now..."

……

Li Yi has been back more often recently because he is preparing for MINISO.

Miniso’s funding comes from the funds from the takeaway store owner platform, which amounted to 15 million yuan.

Although there is money in Wuyou Media's account, he has not touched it yet. After all, it has only been accumulated for a few months, and the total amount is more than 4 million, which is not enough for Miniso to open a store.

Miniso not only needs to develop online channels, but also offline channels, otherwise its brand power will be greatly lacking.

And we can't just make clothes, we also need to stockpile other goods.

These tasks are rather complicated and he expects to complete them by February next year.

Before he knew it, it was November 11th. When Li Yi came back at noon, he found that Song Xin was still eating there.

During this period, he came back three times at noon, and Song Xin was there all three times.

The span is more than ten days.

Song Xin definitely had classes. There was only one reason why he was running here in the middle of the day. After lunch, he returned to his room and began to organize his materials. Song Xin simply tidied up his room and prepared to return to school.

But Li Yi stopped her and asked, "Are you out of money?"

"Huh? And..."

"If you have money, you won't come back for lunch. Do you want me to ask the company to advance you one or two months' salary?"

"Ah? Is that okay?"

"It's not a big problem."

Li Yi is not kind-hearted, but when he was chatting with Yu Mancang these days, Yu Mancang mentioned Li Honggang intentionally or unintentionally, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

He doesn't want to have any communication with Li Honggang now, and doesn't even want to meet him.

He really has no means to deal with Li Honggang, nor can he kill Li Honggang. He currently has no power to control Li Honggang, and he does not have any absolutely loyal followers.

The best way is to let Song Xin deal with Li Honggang and save him from trouble.

He would hold on for one day at a time. When he had some free time, he would have a good talk with Li Honggang. If he still couldn't figure it out, he would take a long-term view and see if he could create some unexpected situation.

Song Xin thought for a moment and said, "Should I mortgage something? After all, I'm not a live streamer, so I can't bring any income to the company."

"What do you want to mortgage?"

"I...same as last time?"

Li Yi: “…”

Is Song Xin mentally ill?

It is indeed an extreme personality. Once he is desperate, he can do anything.

"No need. This is the normal procedure of the company. It's only two or three thousand yuan, and everyone can get some advances. Besides, I'm still here. If you can't pay it back, just transfer it to me. You owe me a lot anyway."

Ever since Song Xin owed him money, he has been so honest that he has never said a word to teach him a lesson.

Li Yi felt that maintaining the status quo was pretty good. Song Xin studied very hard, and it would not be difficult for him to find a good job after graduation.

At that time, I won't ask her for interest, just pay back part of my principal, and then we will be completely even.

She lives her life and I live my own life.

"Well, just consider it as money I owe you. I'll pay you the interest first at the end of the year."

"Got it. I'll transfer the money to your card later."

……

Song Xin originally planned to go back to school by herself, but when she went downstairs, she found that Yang Ruoxue had borrowed a car from Xia Panpan and was about to go out.

"Song Xin, are you going back to school? I can take you with me."

"Ah? Thank you very much."

"It's okay, it's on my way."

Yang Ruoxue just wanted to show off at school. Although her car didn't have a campus pass, there would definitely be people taking pictures of her at the school gate.

She didn't dare bring Li Yi, but it would be no problem to bring Song Xin.

Along the way, Song Xin was relatively silent.

She looked at Yang Ruoxue from time to time, and Yang Ruoxue's face was full of excitement.

She envied those who could make money. They were all eighteen years old, and Yang Ruoxue was already a big internet celebrity with millions of fans.

Although the income is not clear, it is definitely much better than her part-time job at Wuyou Media.

In her major, the first semester of her freshman year consisted of the most basic courses, mainly advanced mathematics, English, linear algebra, etc., with very few professional courses.

Even with professional courses, there is almost no improvement in ability in the short term.

When she arrived at school, she returned to the dormitory. Everyone else was taking a lunch break, but she was sitting at her desk in a daze.

In the past, she only owed Li Yi money, but now she owed more than just money. She didn't even have the courage to face Li Yi on an equal footing.

In the past, she always felt that she was the one supporting Li Yi, and would rather live a worse life herself than not find a way to provide Li Yi with living expenses.

Li Yi owes her. She has a huge psychological advantage, and even if Li Yi marries her into his wife's family, he can never repay his kindness.

Even if Li Yi is angry with himself, it doesn’t matter.

As a result, now... Li Yi is just angry. He is in a completely psychologically disadvantaged position. He can only rely on Li Yi to treat his mother's illness and get living expenses.

There is no way to let Li Yi marry into the family.

There was even no way to continue pestering Li Yi.

I owe them so much money, there is no reason for me to do so.

If you think about it carefully, Li Yi seems to be particularly good to his employees.

Basically, no matter who it is, they can make various requests to him, and he will seriously consider them.

Li Yi now has a lot of money, unlike before...

In the past, I could find excuses to say that he was not worthy of Jiang Li, and I could tell him righteously that he would not be happy even if he was with Jiang Li.

But now, those words no longer hold water.

There is no distance between Li Yi and Jiang Li anymore.

She took out her cell phone and sent a message to Li Yi.

"Can I sign a contract with a company and become an internet celebrity? Please give me some advice. I can pay you back once I make some money."

Not long after, Li Yi replied, "You can't do it."

"what happened?"

"Becoming an internet celebrity is very difficult. Although your looks are definitely good, other aspects are far from perfect."

"Is singing also not possible? I can actually sing too."

"You can't just see Cheng Mo's singing skills, but also her words and the atmosphere in the live broadcast room. Can you do it?"

"Well...taking pictures is fine too, I should be able to do that..."

"Taking pictures of you is exhausting. You don't know what seduction or sexiness is, and you can't let go."

“I… can!”

"What can you let go of?"

"That is... I can show it to you, you can see it however you want..."

"No, why show it to me? I'll pay you. Internet celebrities need to face the public."

"Then you always need it, right? I saw it when I was doing your laundry..."

"Song Xin, are you crazy?"

"Well, I want to make money and pay you back what I owe you. Just give me whatever you think I'm worth, okay?"

"Do you believe I'll post the chat history on the school forum? You really can say anything. Besides, who asked you for money? Who forced you to pay it back? I didn't bother to say anything about you selling photos before, but now you're thinking of selling yourself? Your bottom line is that low, right?"

"Ah."

Song Xin agreed.

In front of Li Yi, she has no bottom line at all.

A moment later, she received a message.

It's a transfer.

A full thirty thousand yuan.

Then, I received another message from Li Yi.

"The funds I applied for from the company have been approved. If you're short on money, just tell me. I don't have any other requests. Just help me deal with Li Honggang and don't let him show up in front of me. Don't rush to pay me back. Wait until you get a job."

"What if I can't pay it back?"

"Didn't you just say you have no bottom line? If you don't have a bottom line, I don't believe you can't pay it back."

"Okay, but I'll only sell it to you."
