I really just want to make money

Chapter 221 Too Cheap
As time went by, Li Yu notified the two QQ book friend groups every once in a while that the traffic of Cuttlefish Mall has been steadily increasing.

The infrastructure and data processing capabilities of the current Moyu Mall are still in their infancy, and cannot withstand the impact of the instantaneous data surge...

"Boss, it's better to use President Su's solution."

Looking at the steadily rising transaction data, although there were occasional freezes, it did not affect the normal operation of the system, and the corners of Zhao Yiming's mouth cracked as he smiled.

"However, Mr. Li, the development side still needs to recruit a few engineers with experience in trading system data development. In the later stage, the number of users will increase, and our data processing capabilities must be improved accordingly..."

Recruiting people is another big expense. Fortunately, the launch of Moyu Mall should bring considerable benefits to the company.

"Okay, you look for this kind of professional talent first, and then come to me after you determine your target."

Li Yu also knows that sharpening a knife is not the same as chopping firewood by mistake. If you invest in Internet companies and don't spend some money on research and development, you will definitely not be able to grow bigger and stronger.

Zhao Yiming was also very excited to get the boss's approval, and then he devoted himself to work.

Things in the Moyu Mall are initially on the right track, and there is no room for Li Yu to play any more. He seems to have nothing to do except lying down and touching fish...

Once people are idle, it is easy to think wildly.

Fortunately, Zhang Bo ran over at this time.

"Old Li, I resign!"

"Oh……"

"Um, I've found a location for my milk tea shop!"

"Oh……"

"Damn it! Can you show some surprised expression, you will make me feel very unfulfilled..." Zhang Bo complained with a speechless and constipated face.

Ha ha, Xiao Mian, you still want to pretend to be aggressive in front of me, dreaming!

"Then what, since you found the store, why don't you go to decorate it, why come to me?"

Zhang Bo laughed, and patted Li Yu's shoulder.

"As expected of Lao Li, I guessed it right after I guessed it. I think your decoration is quite good. Who are you looking for to do the construction? I'm going to look for them too..."

"Hehe, I know what you want to do as soon as you poke your butt. Go find Qi Lei. This kind of trivial matter is the responsibility of the subordinates, and I usually don't ask."

The corners of Zhang Bo's mouth twitched when he heard the words, Nima, he was accidentally pretended by Lao Li again...

"Okay, I know you are unreliable. Come on, try it. This is the milk tea I asked someone to make. You can give me some advice."

Li Yu sat up and realized that Zhang Bo was still carrying a plastic bag of milk tea, which contained five or six cups.

"Hey, you're pretty well prepared to open a store, but I can't finish drinking so much."

Li Yu opened the plastic bag, and was not polite, just picked up a glass and took a sip.

Close your eyes, savor for two seconds, then slowly open your eyes under Zhang Bo's expectant eyes.

"Why don't you go find Qi Lei?"

Zhang Bo: "..."

"Why don't you give me a review after drinking it!"

"Oh", Li Yu babbled, "I don't feel anything, it's just normal milk tea..."

Zhang Bo was speechless, and wanted to take away the remaining milk tea, but Li Yu quickly grabbed it.

"Haha, just kidding, the taste is not bad. I'll let all the female colleagues in the company come and taste it. They usually drink a lot, so they should be able to give you some advice..."

Only then did Zhang Bo calm down.

Li Yu approached Qi Lei, "You arrange to taste these milk teas for all the female colleagues in the company, and each of them has one opinion."

Qi Lei was called to the boss's office out of nowhere, and received another inexplicable task, her baby-fat face was suddenly covered in circles.

Zhang Bo felt embarrassed when he saw that he had to bother others with his own trivial matters.

"Director Qi, don't be so troublesome. This is a new variety of my milk tea shop. I'll bring it here for you to try. If you have any suggestions, you can mention them. It's okay if you don't have any suggestions..."

After Zhang Bo said this, Qi Lei probably understood what was going on.

"It's okay, just collect some suggestions, no trouble."

Qi Lei didn't care what Zhang Bo said, as long as she listened to Boss Li in the company, it was fine.

Qi Lei went out with a bag of milk tea, and Li Yu said to Zhang Bonunu:

"What are you still doing in a daze, don't you want the phone number of the decoration team, ask her for it..."

Only then did Zhang Bo remember the matter of the decoration team, and quickly ran out after him.

Hey, pimping is really not suitable for Li Yu, I just hope that Zhang Bo can wake up soon, stay away from scumbags, and finding a girl from her mother's family like Qi Lei is the right choice.

Li Yu took another sip of milk tea, tasted it carefully, and found that it was very ordinary, with a taste of creamer.

During this period of time, he went to various restaurants frequently, and drank a lot of freshly squeezed juices and high-end coffee, so his mouth naturally grew.

Milk tea made with this kind of creamer always feels uncomfortable to drink...

Half an hour later, Zhang Bo came back with a depressed expression.

"What's the matter with this expression, you're pulling your pants down?"

Zhang Bo ignored Li Yu's teasing at all, and just sat there sullenly.

"I gave them milk tea and made a lot of comments."

Li Yu suddenly realized that this was the reason.

"Did they say your milk tea is not good?"

"That's not true. It's just that the ingredients of this milk tea are not very good. They suggest changing to better ingredients..."

Li Yu silently gave a thumbs up to the person who made the suggestion, and the taste of heroes is similar.

But he still comforted:

"It depends on how you interpret this suggestion."

"First of all, it depends on the positioning of your milk tea shop. If the positioning is the mid-to-high-end market, then you have to work hard on raw materials. If it is an ordinary street store, if you want to go to the low-end market, then there is no need to consider raw materials and prices. It's cheap..."

After listening to Li Yu's analysis, Zhang Bo's mood improved a lot.

With an honest personality like his, he is easily swayed by other people's opinions. Just now, he heard many young ladies say that his ingredients are not good, which almost made him lose confidence in his milk tea.

Now after Li Yu's analysis, Zhang Bo remembered that the store he was looking for was only a dozen square meters.

It is also aimed at the student party, why do you want such good raw materials, as long as it is cheap!
Zhang Bo, who felt that he was doing well again, was instantly full of vitality and revived on the spot.

The two chatted for a while, and Li Yu was a little curious about the raw materials Zhang Bo used:
"What ingredients do you use to make your milk tea? How much does a cup cost?"

When Li Yu asked about the cost, Zhang Bo blushed a little.

"Ahem, this is less than 3 yuan..."

Li Yu took another sip of milk tea, calculated silently in his heart, and then said:

"That's okay. If you sell a cup for 6 yuan, you can earn more than 3 yuan. As long as a store sells 100 cups a day, the cost will be kept. By the way, how much is the cost? Let me calculate the profit margin... "

"Seventy-five cents..."

puff!
It wasn't that Li Yu laughed out loud, but just sprayed out the milk tea in his mouth, and it happened that Zhang Bo caught it all.

"Grass nest!"

"My day!"

The two jumped up almost in unison.

"Are you trying to murder me..."

Li Yu looked at the milk tea that cost 7 cents in front of him, and he wanted to cry, but he just drank a few sips, wouldn't it be poisonous?

Zhang Bo picked up the napkin from Li Yu's table, wiped his face and scolded others.

"Grass, spit me all over!"

Li Yu threw the rest of the milk tea on the table, and said angrily:

"I really didn't see it. You are honest and honest. I didn't expect you to have the potential to be a profiteer. You won't be poisoned if you drink this stuff..."

Looking at Li Yu's suspicious eyes, Zhang Bo was speechless for a while.

"Who says I'm a profiteer? This is the normal raw material cost of milk tea. I buy it from regular channels..."

Li Yu didn't believe it, Zhang Bo could only patiently explain: "I'll do the math and you'll know..."

With Zhang Bo's explanation, a brand new door was gradually opened.

The cost of milk tea mainly includes: cups, black pearls, creamer, and tea.

Zhang Bo uses a very thin transparent plastic cup, which costs 8 cents.

Black pearls are made from potato flour and are wholesaled by bag. The cost of a cup is about 4 cents.

Creamer and tea are also wholesaled by bag, and the combined cost of a cup is 2 cents.

Adding up all the costs, a cup of milk tea costs 7 cents.

Well, it is indeed less than 3 yuan...

Li Yu still looked at Zhang Bo with unfriendly eyes. If he had known that the cost of this cup of milk tea was only this money, he would not drink it if he was killed.

Even if it's not poisonous, he doesn't want to drink it!

"Lao Li, don't look at me like that. The cost of milk tea in milk tea shops in the market is basically the same. Unless it is very high-end, they use fresh fruit and fresh milk, so the cost will be high."
