When I came to the tavern, I immediately went to find Xiaoman, talked to him in detail about my thoughts, and asked him if there was any technical difficulty.

After hearing this, Xiao Man sometimes frowned, and sometimes his brows stretched, probably thinking about the feasibility of the suggestion I said......

After a while, he let go of his brows, raised his eyes and said to me: "It can be done, but according to your idea, this is a very large APP, much bigger than what we are doing now." ”

I don't need to say this, I can think of it, I said after a moment of contemplation, "You mean you can't do it alone, right?"

Xiao Man nodded and said, "Yes, this requires a team to do it, and it can't be done in a day or two...... If it's a team, I'm afraid you won't be able to support it. ”

I really didn't think about this, so I asked him again: "Then you roughly estimate, how much will it cost to make such an APP?"

Xiaoman is a professional, and he said without much hesitation: "The platform we are doing now is the most basic, so we don't need too much capital to maintain the operation...... However, according to the kind of large-scale APP you just mentioned, the maintenance fee alone will be several million yuan a year, as well as the salary of the team, have you calculated this account?"

I touched my nose and fell into a deep thought, this number really scared me, I thought tens of thousands at most hundreds of thousands can be done, but the maintenance cost of just one year is as high as millions, which is really beyond my expectations.

But I don't want to give up this good opportunity, I still want to try to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.

After pondering for a while, he asked Xiaoman: "You are talking about a year's maintenance fee, then I want to ask, how much investment is needed in the initial stage?"

Xiao Man habitually helped his eyes, and also fell into a deep thought, at this time Liu Qing suddenly pushed the door in.

"Okay, you Xiang Nan, I'm looking for you everywhere, you are hiding here and chatting with Xiaoman!" she sneered at me as soon as she entered.

"Go!" I waved my hand and said dissatisfiedly, "I didn't make small talk, I talked to Xiaoman about business, I don't believe you asked Xiaoman." ”

Xiao Man looked at Liu Qing and shouted "Sister", and then said, "Brother Nan was looking for me to get down to business just now, and Brother Nan has an idea." ”

"What do you think?" asked Liu Qing as she looked at me suspiciously.

So I told her my idea again, and Liu Qing nodded very much in agreement with my idea, and she said, "Yes! This idea is very reliable, and it sounds very good to me." ”

"But the investment is too high. I lit a cigarette and said in a deep voice.

"How much does it cost?" asked Liu Qing again.

I looked at Xiao Man, who said after a period of contemplation: "Let's not talk about the operation and maintenance costs, to make such an APP, we must recruit APP developers, background programmers, test engineers, UI designers, software engineers and planning engineers, such a team of at least ten people...... It will take at least a year to make such an app, and you can calculate the cost of the team, as well as the equipment and servers, according to the market conditions. ”

Liu Qing was very domineering, she asked directly: "You just say how much money you need, and we don't understand you either." ”

Xiao Man listened to Liu Qing's words very much, and seemed to respect Liu Qing very much, he replied honestly: "Sister, I will roughly estimate that all of them add up to a budget of at least two million a year." ”

I took a deep puff of my cigarette and choked on the number, I coughed hard a few times and exclaimed, "Does it cost so much money to make an APP?"

Xiao Man smiled lightly: "This is just a conservative estimate, because the idea you just said is difficult, in addition to the technical difficulties, you have to find a way to let other businesses settle in...... Have you ever thought that if there are no merchants to settle in, won't this money be invested in vain?"

Xiaoman's words woke me up suddenly, yes! I only thought of making such an APP, but I didn't expect the later operation.

Liu Qing was also puzzled for a while: "So there is no feasibility in saying this, right?"

"That's what it means, sister. "Little Mandao.

I took several puffs of cigarette and said, "No, I have to do it...... You don't care about the operation for now, it's my business, and I'll figure out how to deal with the money. ”

Xiao Man and Liu Qing both looked at me dumbfounded, as if they felt that my thoughts were too naïve.

I said, "Why are you looking at me like this? What I'm saying is true, even if I sell my kidneys and blood, I have to do it." ”

"Sister?" Xiao Man looked at Liu Qing, because he only listened to Liu Qing's words.

Liu Qing hesitated for a while, then suddenly looked at me and smiled: "Xiang Nan, according to what you say, we are not running a tavern anymore, but developing into another field!"

"Do you want to limit yourself to the tavern business?" I added, after a pause, "I'll tell you this, we're doing a good business now, but one day it's going to make customers feel aesthetically fatigued, and we'll have to move on to something else...... Do you want to make any money?"

Liu Qing clasped his hands in front of his chest, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, then do it, and the money will find a way together." ”

Liu Qing said and looked at Xiao Man again, and said, "Xiao Man, you go to the team, and we will find a way to solve the money matter." ”

"Okay, sister, don't worry. Xiao Man nodded.

Leaving Xiaoman's office with Liu Qing, Liu Qing rarely complimented me: "Okay, Xiang Nan, how did you come up with this idea?"

"I didn't actually think about it, I was just thinking about those merchants who were blushing at us, and I wanted to solve this problem, and I thought about it. ”

"Yes, you're very thoughtful, but you're late again this morning!"

"I ...... I'm not late, didn't I go to Mr. Song to talk about advertising?"

"You're looking for her?"

"No, I just talked on the phone. ”

"How's it going?"

"She said she wasn't available today and asked me to go to her in the evening. ”

Liu Qing suddenly smiled evilly: "Go find her at night, yo ......"

"What are you doing, where do you want to go?" I gave her a blank look.

"How can you talk about work at night, I think she has another purpose!"

I laughed and said, "It's good if she has no purpose, I'm afraid she doesn't have a purpose." ”

Liu Qing squeezed her eyebrows and imitated the way I spoke, and then looked at me with disdain.

I asked her, "What does this Xiaoman have to do with you?" I think she respects you. ”

"Friends. ”

"I'm afraid it's not just a friend, right? Who friend can put down a million annual salary to work with you? You don't pay people a salary, they are so abusive, but he can still respect you so much, I really can't figure it out. ”

"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it, just do your thing!" she waved at me impatiently, turned and walked away.
