Chapter 1096 - 1096: You Can Operate Like This?

"Mm-hmm."

"Boss, you're absolutely right!"

Chen Dongyuan and the others nodded, looking at him with admiration as they spoke.

"Alright, alright!"

"Look at you all, acting so hopeless! I'm really beat by you guys!"

"This is just an alternative route, let's keep it as a backup plan for now!"

"Next, third brother, why don't you share your idea!"

Lin Feng looked at Su He and spoke.

"Well, boss, brothers, I do have an idea."

"Since I'm going to talk about it, brothers, please bear with me!"

After finishing, Su He glanced at Lin Feng and the others, cleared his throat, and formally began sharing his idea.

"Ahem, ahem..."

"The thing is, because I'm a bit lazy personally, I have to run to the cafeteria every time for meals. I've always had this thought that I wish I could just sit in the dorm and wait for someone to bring me food!"

Su He spoke, somewhat awkwardly.

Lin Feng: "..."

Chen Kun: "..."

Chen Dongyuan: "..."

Damn...

I didn't expect Su He to be this lazy...

"Hey, third brother, your idea is a bit off!"

"Damn, that's way too lazy..."

Rolling his eyes at Su He, Chen Kun spoke speechlessly.

Chen Dongyuan couldn't help but nod too.

This third brother, this idea is pretty risky!

Just way too lazy!

"Uh..."

"It's just about being too lazy to move!"

"So I thought, wouldn't it be awesome if someone could deliver meals right to the door?"

Su He spoke awkwardly.

"Uh, third brother, many restaurants do offer delivery services now, but you have to order a lot for them to be willing to deliver!"

Chen Dongyuan thought for a moment and spoke.

"That's right!"

"A lot of restaurants do offer delivery services now, but you need to order in bulk for it to work. How can one person eat so much?!"

"And placing an order still requires making calls, and sometimes it gets messed up because of miscommunication!"

"It's just too much hassle!"

"So, I wonder if we could set up a company specifically to deliver meals for others?"

"We could hire some casual workers and not pay them too much; I imagine many would be interested in doing it!"

Su He spoke slowly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng was instantly surprised.

Isn't this exactly how Meituan operates?

Could the future initiators of the food delivery industry have started with the same idea as Su He?

But hey, that person has the surname Huang, and Su He is a Su; there's probably no relation between them, right?

Pure coincidence?

Lin Feng thought to himself.

"Uh..."

"Third brother, it seems this isn't much of a money-maker, right?"

"It's just satisfying your lazy tendency!"

"It seems like not many people have the same idea!"

Chen Kun thought for a moment and shared his thoughts.

"Yeah, third brother, your idea doesn't seem to make much money; most people still prefer going to restaurants!"

"People sharing your thought might be in the minority!"

Chen Dongyuan thought about it too and found it unfeasible!

"Uh..."

"It might indeed not make much money; I was just speaking off the cuff. If it doesn't work, then forget it, hahaha..."

Su He spoke awkwardly and amiably.

"Third brother, I think your idea's not bad."

At this point, Lin Feng spoke slowly.

"Uh..."

"Boss, not bad huh???"

"You're not just comforting me, right?"

Su He spoke with a bitter expression.

Chen Dongyuan and Chen Kun were thinking the same thing!

The boss wouldn't be saying this just to comfort Su He, right?

"No, what are you thinking!"

"I genuinely think your idea is pretty good!"

Lin Feng rolled his eyes at Su He and spoke, somewhat annoyed.

Although Chen Dongyuan and the others lacked experience with the future, Lin Feng did!

Having witnessed the rapid rise of food delivery platforms from their inception to amazing success, gaining billions in market value within just a few years!

So this is definitely a super lucrative industry!

Su He genuinely had a great idea!

"Boss, how is this profitable?"

"I've thought about it but couldn't figure it out..."

Chen Kun spoke, looking baffled.

Chen Dongyuan and Su He also had faces full of questions!

Lin Feng glanced at the three of them, seeing their confused expressions, and chuckled.

"Alright, let me break it down for you!"

"The reason you think it won't make money is because right now, not many restaurants offer delivery services, and those that do, require bulk orders; only then will they send out their staff for delivery!"

"Plus, the ordering method is cumbersome and often leads to incorrect deliveries."

"These are some of the main reasons why people don't like ordering food; there are still other reasons, but let's not dive into those yet."

"Given all this, have you considered that if we could remove these obstacles, like eliminating the bulk-order requirement for delivery, wouldn't more people start ordering?"

"Also, if restaurants no longer need to send someone specifically for delivery since we'll provide the service, they might agree to drop the bulk-order restriction if they just pay us a small fee."

Lin Feng paused here to let them digest and think about it.

They were already shocked by Lin Feng's words.

Damn...

Can it really be done this way?

Seems like it could actually work!

Chen Dongyuan, Chen Kun, and Su He exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock!

After a moment of silence...

"Boss, I have another question!"

"Even if we solve it as you say, ordering is still inconvenient..."

"Plus, doing it this way only seems feasible within a small area, right?"

"If it's too far away, it'd be too troublesome and seemingly not worth it!"

Chen Dongyuan thought for a moment and spoke.

"Yeah, this still doesn't seem very workable!"

Chen Kun nodded in agreement.

Su He looked at Lin Feng with puzzlement, it certainly seemed like this approach wouldn't make much money.

"Hahaha..."

"Isn't it easy?"

"Have you forgotten what major we're studying?"

Lin Feng chuckled and spoke.

"Boss, we're computer science majors, but what does that have to do with this?"

Su He asked, puzzled.

"Hehe..."

"It's related, big time!"

"We're computer science majors, so you all know about computer programs and software, right?"

"For instance, we could have someone develop software, then promote it, gather info like restaurants' contacts and their menu, enabling users to place orders directly, and we handle deliveries — wouldn't that solve it?"

Lin Feng explained.
