Chapter 80: Expand, Change, Upgrade!
In other words, Liu Xiaoshu saw that Li Ling and Zhang Dequan were standing at the door of the gluttonous cat's kitchen operation room. Then, Liu Xiaoshu was busy inside for a while, and after arranging the work, he walked out of the kitchen operation room.
"When did you get these, I didn't pay much attention when I came in!" When Liu Xiaoshu came to Zhang Dequan's side, Zhang Dequan asked Liu Xiaoshu in surprise about the gluttonous cat he saw after coming in, and the recent changes.
"Yes, in this case, the space above the shop can be utilized. This is a good idea, who came up with this idea Liu Xiaoshu?" When Zhang Dequan spoke, Li Ling also discovered that this place has changed a lot from the last time he came.
"I thought you hadn't noticed! I just got it the other day when I asked them to install it. Liu Xiaoshu pointed to the gluttonous cat, the prefabricated house that had just been built a few days ago.
Zhang Dequan raised his head and looked at the four more houses above the previous two offices. This kind of house, when I came here before, I saw it next to the construction site. What he didn't expect was that a house like this could still be moved inside.
Just now, when Li Ling and Zhang Dequan walked in, although there was a busy scene in front of them, it did not affect their attention in any way. Because the newly built prefabricated house in front of me is really too conspicuous.
So after Li Ling and Zhang Dequan came in, they quickly discovered that the changes had taken place inside the gluttonous cat.
Then, a group of three people came to the attic of the gluttonous cat. This attic was built just a few days ago, and when Zhang Dequan and the others came last time, they didn't have this attic.
Since the ground floor shops are used for commercial purposes, developers will plan the floor height of the ground floor shops to be higher when designing. In an accidental moment, Liu Xiaoshu saw that the ground floor space of the 300-square-meter shop was all occupied, and he still felt that the place was too small. Because there are more things, there are more people. But when I looked up overhead, there was a large space that wasn't being used.
Some time ago, when Liu Xiaoshu passed by a construction site, he saw the prefabricated houses on the construction site for temporary accommodation for workers. Liu Xiaoshu suddenly thought that he could also build a few such prefabricated houses in the gluttonous cat. In this way, the empty space above the gluttonous cat can be used more comprehensively and efficiently.
Moreover, the prefabricated house is hygienic and clean, the indoor facilities are complete, the stability and durability of the prefabricated room are strong, and the appearance is beautiful and generous. What's more, it also has the characteristics of fire and warmth, easy installation and disassembly.
So Liu Xiaoshu decided to add a few attics above the original office.
After the prefabricated house was built, the original office was moved to the attic. The original two offices on the lower floor were also used as a rest duty room and an office for receiving and delivering goods.
"Before, I thought that this place of 300 square meters is not very big. But now I see, it seems that this problem has been solved. When Li Ling walked into the office in the attic, looked at the space inside, and the furnishings inside, she felt that the business site of the gluttonous cat was too small, but now it has finally been relieved.
"Regarding the question of the Gluttonous Cat business site, I have prepared in my heart. After listening to Li Ling, still worried about the venue of the gluttonous cat, Zhang Dequan hurriedly said his thoughts.
"The business site of the gluttonous cat is so big, what can you do? I heard Zhang Dequan say that he was already prepared for the business site of the gluttonous cat. Liu Xiaoshu, who couldn't figure out the situation, saw Zhang Dequan talking, so he expressed the doubts in his heart.
"Do you know why the shop next door to the gluttonous cat hasn't been rented out yet?"
"Why?" After listening to Zhang Dequan's words, Li Ling and Liu Xiaoshu asked very puzzled.
"Because this shop is the house of Aunt Wang that Wu Jinmin knows. At the beginning, when Wu Jinmin's family bought this shop, they bought it with Aunt Wang, so these two stores are close together. Recently, Wu Jinmin's Aunt Wang, heard Wu Jinmin's parents say that their shop has been rented out by Wu Jinmin. After Wu Jinmin's Aunt Wang heard this, she wanted Wu Jinmin to rent out their shop. Wu Jinmin just told me about this a few days ago. Seeing Li Ling and Liu Xiaoshu's surprise, Zhang Dequan said the reason why he said this.
"You didn't say it earlier. After listening to Zhang Dequan's words, Liu Xiaoshu said casually.
"Gluttonous cat, do you plan to rent the storefront next door now?"
"It shouldn't be used for the time being, right?" Li Ling next to her, after listening to Zhang Dequan's words, looked at the business site of the gluttonous cat.
"I don't need it for the time being, but as you can see, there isn't much room to spare. I'm afraid that when the time comes, such a good place will be rented by others. When you need it, but you don't have the opportunity to rent, such a good location, or close together, as long as the wall is opened, you can be directly connected. After listening to Li Ling and Zhang Dequan's words, Liu Xiaoshu said with a long-term vision.
"Okay, this matter, after I go back, I will talk to Wu Jinmin. After hearing Liu Xiaoshu's worries, Zhang Dequan thought about it, and it was quite reasonable, so he planned to go back and discuss with Wu Jinmin about the lease of this shop.
"Are we going to rent the shop next door? If we rent it now, we won't need it for the time being. Now I rent it, and if I don't need it, it's a waste to rent it. After listening to Zhang Dequan's words, Li Ling weighed the pros and cons.
"It's definitely going to be rented! Don't you see how fast the gluttonous cat is growing? It won't be long before the extra space will be used. After listening to Li Ling's words, Zhang Dequan took a look again, and the gluttonous cat was now nervous about the space.
It seems that the gluttonous cat is going to make a big move and expand the market.
"Then why don't you build the official website of the gluttonous cat, as well as the database? In this way, the information management level of gluttonous cats will be improved. At the same time, it is conducive to the marketing of gluttonous cats, and it is also conducive to the marketing of gluttonous cats. After listening to Zhang Dequan and Liu Xiaoshu's words, Li Lingliang felt that they were going to bring up the marketing of gluttonous cats and the business volume of gluttonous cats.
Li Ling feels that since it is necessary to increase marketing efforts, the marketing of gluttonous cats, as well as the level of operation and management, should keep up.
"I think that the retail terminal of Gluttonous Cat should use online payment when collecting money. In this way, it is conducive to the sales management of the terminal, and the money paid by the customer can be transferred to the account of the gluttonous cat at one time, which is conducive to cash management. When listening to Li Ling say that he wanted to build a website and engage in information management, Liu Xiaoshu thought of the problems that occurred in the retail terminal at this stage, or the potential business risks. Therefore, Liu Xiaoshu suggested that the payment paid by the retail terminal customers should be collected directly online by the Gluttonous Cat headquarters, instead of going through the retail terminal to collect cash from the customer.
"Of course, Gluttonous Cat carries out information management, and the issue of cash management will definitely be a priority. The second is to establish a database to conduct real-time analysis and real-time tracking of the data generated in the process of gluttonous cat operation. After listening to Liu Xiaoshu's words, Li Ling hurriedly affirmed his words.
"Will it take a lot of money to build a website and a database? Are these all high-tech?" Zhang Dequan heard that Li Ling and Liu Xiaoshu hit it off, but Zhang Dequan at this time began to worry about the problem of the gluttonous cat's funds.
"It doesn't cost a lot of money to build a website or a database. The biggest investment is not at the beginning, but in the later operation and management, and the time and money that need to be invested will be larger. In particular, the management and maintenance of databases are very important. For the database, if the maintenance is not in place, after a long time, a lot of garbage data will be generated in the database, and as the garbage data becomes more and more, the database will become a dead database. Every database has its own lifecycle, because the garbage data in it cannot be cleaned up all at once. Hearing Zhang Dequan's worries, Li Ling popularized computer knowledge for Zhang Dequan.
"That will cost a lot of money!" After listening to Li Ling's tirade, Liu Xiaoshu also had the same worries as Zhang Dequan.
"It didn't cost much, we just started building a small database, not a very large database. However, it is important to design the database architecture at the beginning. Because the initial architecture design will affect the iterative upgrade of the database in the future. Seeing that Zhang Dequan and Liu Xiaoshu were worried about money, Li Ling explained the scalability of the database to them.
"If that's the case, that's pretty much it! When we first started, we built a small database and slowly expanded it when we got the money. After listening to Li Ling's words, Liu Xiaoshu finally knew that the database could be continuously iteratively upgraded as needed.
"As long as you don't have to invest a lump sum, a lot of money is fine. My biggest concern is that gluttonous cats don't have that much money. After listening to Li Ling's words, Zhang Dequan's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"What worries me the most is not that I'm afraid of investing a lot of money. What worries me the most is that a large amount of money is invested in it, and in the end it doesn't make any money. After listening to Zhang Dequan's words, Liu Xiaoshu took Zhang Dequan's words to correct Zhang Dequan's thoughts, which is incorrect.
"Then you have to come on!" After listening to Liu Xiaoshu's words, Zhang Dequan immediately returned it.
"There, I'm just a soldier, and when a soldier fights, he obeys commands. If you say how to do it, we will do it. After listening to Zhang Dequan's words, Liu Xiaoshu hurriedly explained that the heavy responsibility is the leader who sits in command.
"Don't fight, no matter what you do, you have to work together. Seeing Zhang Dequan and Liu Xiaoshu starting to talk nonsense there, Li Ling hurriedly interrupted them.
………
"Liu Xiaoshu, how is the expansion of the retail terminal of the gluttonous cat?" Suddenly, Li Ling remembered the progress of the gluttonous cat's expansion of the retail terminal.
"At present, we already have 10 retail terminal stores, but all of them have just opened, and they are still in the market cultivation period, and there are customers who order food every day, but the customer flow is not very large. I think it will be better after a while. After listening to Li Ling's words, Liu Xiaoshu told Li Ling about the gluttonous cat, the 10 retail terminals that had just been set up, and the general situation.
"Why didn't I see the retail terminal of the gluttonous cat near where we live?" When Zhang Dequan heard that the gluttonous cat already had 10 food production points, he was still quite surprised.
"You live nearby, we are talking to a landlord about the lease of the store, if it goes well, it should be a few days before the store can be renovated. When he heard Zhang Dequan say that he lived near the urban village and whether there was a gluttonous cat retail terminal, Liu Xiaoshu told Zhang Dequan and Li Ling about the store he was talking about recently.
"Where is the store of the gluttonous cat retail terminal?" Listening to Liu Xiaoshu, they lived in a branch near the gluttonous cat, and Li Ling at this time was also curious.
"That place...... I'm going to go over in the afternoon...... Why don't you come with me? "It may be that the store has just been found, and Liu Xiaoshu doesn't know the specific location, so he thought about it for a long time and didn't say the specific location.
"Okay!" After listening to Liu Xiaoshu's words, since he was near where he lived, he must have gone over to have a look. Subsequently, Li Ling said happily.
………
The three of them were in the office, and before they knew it, they were chatting until noon.
At noon, after the three of them had lunch together, they casually chatted about some other things. Of course, in this process, I also talked about the car that Li Ling just bought.
After noon, at 1 o'clock, because Zhang Dequan had to go back to work in a hurry, Liu Xiaoshu also had to go to various retail terminals in the city to inspect the operation of the store.
Because Li Ling also wanted to take a look, follow Liu Xiaoshu to the retail terminal of the gluttonous cat. So as to strengthen her understanding of gluttonous cats, various retail terminals, and specific situations.
In this way, let her have a deeper understanding of the overall situation of gluttonous cats, which should be regarded as a kind of market research!
Liu Xiaoshu listened to Li Ling's words and felt that she was right, after all, these ideas were all put forward by Li Ling.
Therefore, Liu Xiaoshu agreed to Li Ling's request and took her to inspect the retail terminal.
So it didn't take long for Zhang Dequan and Liu Xiaoshu to sit in Li Ling's new car, leave the gluttonous cat, and return to the city.
