England 1986

Chapter 310 Industry Adjustment
"So what's the matter? He's hopeless. There's a full set of medical staff at home, and I can't get involved. He doesn't like me either. He just hopes that I'll get married soon. I don't want to rush to have a bachelor party. Get married early."

Spencer spread his hands, looking indifferent.

His appearance made Allen speechless and wanted to refute him, but thinking about it, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with the logic.

It's a bachelor party.
I don't know when it became popular. Anyway, it probably means that after the party is over, I will get married in the future. Let's have fun first. This is not a necessary ceremony, but this kind of party is very popular in this era. Popularity!
And when it comes to the children of the nobles, of course it has to be a bit more high-end, such as finding some female stars or something, so that you can have fun.
And the quality of female stars in Daying is really eye-catching, so Spencer thought of the French director in Allen's hands.

Thinking of Spencer's father, the old man should be called Edward Spencer, and his life was extremely unsettled, but when he was old, it turned out to be like this
Allen looked at Spencer in front of him, and thought of his father, if he gets old by then, will his son be like this now, not sad, but happy, after all, he can finally inherit the title up.

Moreover, he had just handed Spencer a dividend of 2000 million pounds, so he didn't have to worry about inheritance tax at all.
Damn, why didn't such a good thing happen to me when I inherited the title?
I wanted to pretend to express my concern, but before Allen could open his mouth, Little Shitou rushed over at the entrance of the hall in the distance, regardless of his image.

When he ran to Alan's side, he panted heavily, and said intermittently: "Master, come back and watch the news, something happened! It's really gone!"

Because the time in Great Britain is two hours behind that in Russia, six o'clock in the afternoon here is eight o'clock in the evening there.

Just now the news has temporarily interrupted the heavyweight news. At 38:[-] p.m. Russian time, their parliament ended, and then the news was announced to the public. It really disintegrated, just so suddenly.

Many people watched the host report the news of the continued economic downturn in various regions one second ago, and suddenly interrupted the news the next second, which caught people off guard.

Just after the first day of Christmas, in the last days of the year in 1991, it just fell apart so suddenly.

Allen covered his mouth slightly with his hand, and didn't know what to say. Even the host was a little restless on the news, and the tone of the broadcast was a bit stuttering.

Although he knew that this day was coming, but when it really came, Alan still had a feeling that it was not real, and it just disappeared.
Will I really look at Lao Mei's face in the future?
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt very stressed, and thought of Spencer who had just left.

Allen was even a little confused. Will he be like Spencer in the future, spending his money and drinking, thinking about nothing, and living a happy life, or will he be like himself now, always trying to do crooked ways?
No no no
Allen shook his head fiercely, he can't be like Spencer, that would be too useless, even if only Lao Mei is left in the future, so what, it's better to make trouble for Lao Mei than to eat and wait for death Bar?
I want to be an influential new era imperialist aristocrat, I don't want to be a waste who just eats and waits to die!
"Go and inform the kitchen, prepare some food and wine for me, and deliver it to my study in a while, I want a drink!"

Allen, as Little Stone thought, looked very happy and even needed to drink to celebrate.

"Okay! You are busy, young master, I will notify you right away."

Xiao Shitou also came to his senses at this moment, looked at the TV cheerfully, and then went to inform the kitchen to prepare wine.

Clap la la.
Back in the study, Alan flipped through a stack of documents. The document in front of him was this year's year-end financial report.

This information is about the food delivery company that Alan has great expectations for.

Looking at the string of numbers written on the last page of the profit report, the Blue Knight Food Delivery Company, which has expanded to 12 cities throughout last year, has exceeded the 3000-person mark. Among them, only riders are counted, that is, The number of takeaway strong men also reached 2100.

This is a very impressive figure, but last year the company lost more than 300 million pounds!
It's not making money, it's losing money!

Although 300 million pounds doesn't seem like too much, and it's only a few hundred thousand pounds if it's divided into each city, but every food delivery company that has expanded to twelve cities will lose money.
This is still the case that the current expansion rate is slow. What if the expansion rate is fast in the future?

Do not make money every year and lose all money?
This mother has worked hard for a whole year, and all the money she earned has to be paid to the food delivery company in the end?

Isn't this indirectly benefiting ordinary people in Great Britain?

shit
Although this is a personal design created by himself, Allen really never thought about benefiting the people of Great Britain, but now he is benefiting by accident.

How can this work?This will not work!
Unwilling to give up, Allen went through the information again. Every step, every time the money that should be spent was spent in the right place, but the expected cash flow not only did not come, but lost money. What is the problem? ?
Yes. My foreign buying company has not yet entered a big city. At that time, the main consideration was that the traffic in big cities was too high during busy hours. The company has just entered the right track and needs to settle down for a while, so I can’t rashly enter a big city like London , but do small places lose money?
Is it because of the unified purchase and delivery of cars by yourself, which increases the cost?
wrong
Allen looked at the expenses on the list. It was true that buying a car cost a lot of money, but it is safe to use a car and it can be loaded with a lot. In addition, the current oil price is not expensive. Compared with it, it is really a cost. The travel expenses per order It's really not much more expensive than using a tram, and there aren't so many pure electric vehicles for you to purchase now.

You can't let the delivery man ride a bicycle, can you?

That's too inefficient. You only deliver the lunch they ordered at night?

Doesn't that starve customers to death?

There are few people in Wales, and if there are fewer people, there will be no one.
Taking a look at the few items that need attention summarized in the information, Allen always feels that the problem is wrong.

Back then, when the food delivery industry was so competitive, how did they make money?
If you don't make money, how can you compete so fiercely?
Does it all depend on the market to cut leeks?
Although I don't have the advantage of the Internet now, the difference can't be that big, right?

For the first time, Allen had such a trace of self-doubt about his plan.

Thinking about it for so many years, it seems that the money I have earned is obtained through crooked ways. If I want to do a righteous business, I have never been completely successful. ?

No way, although his ability is mediocre, there are still so many subordinates who check for him and fill in the gaps. Could it be that these people are all stalking people who dare not speak up when they have problems?

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door of the study room, and Allen snorted, beckoning to come in.

Xiao Shitou personally pulled the dining car, walked to the desk, gave a false kick to drive away Xiao Huang who was blocking the way, and then began to serve Alan with dishes.

Four dishes, one fried peanuts, one sliced ​​stewed beef, one sauced tripe, and finally one fried fish nuggets.

The wine is four taels of baijiu, oriental baijiu. When the young master drinks by himself, he likes this sip.

After the dishes were served, Xiao Shitou looked at the frowning Allen, and asked a little strangely, "Master, did something happen?"

The young master who was quite happy just now, why did he work so hard to serve the dishes?
"It's okay, you go ahead."

Allen waved his hand, without any utensils, he pinched a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth, thinking about takeaway.

Is the gap on the network?
What the Internet brings to food delivery is only doubling the number of orders received, but the money earned is still the same money, and the gap will not be so big, right?
Or, is it because he is superficial, and there are still some inside stories that he has not understood?
Thinking of this, Allen picked up the wine cup, sipped his wine, and suddenly saw the introduction of the delivery boy's working hours on the information, six hours a day.

"."

Allen seems to have finally thought of the key point of the problem, not a network problem, but a human problem!

The delivery staff in the future will be more introverted, and the food delivery company will not treat employees as human beings. When they are busy, they can't wait for each delivery staff to carry more than a dozen orders at the same time.

But when it comes to me, the efficiency is definitely not as good as that of the future Internet era. It is already the limit to be able to deliver two or three orders along the way. The duration is limited, six hours a day, excluding the rest time, everyone's orders are really allocated, which is dozens of orders.

In this way, with more people and fewer orders, coupled with low efficiency, it is reasonable to lose money, right?
And thinking of this, Allen narrowed his eyes slightly, and he also thought of a problem that he had neglected before. In the Internet age, food delivery has a side business.

It's not that the food delivery staff can do side jobs, but that the food delivery companies can do side jobs.

For example, selling user data and selling big data information is an income. In addition, advertising fees and the weight display order on the takeaway software can also make money, and the built-in small apps that come with other apps can also make money. There are even loans!

In addition to deducting the black-hearted money for buying the little brother's overtime, the inside and outside add up to more than what he earns now.

And there is another point that cannot be ignored. In the Internet age, there is no shortage of external capital. Food delivery companies are highly competitive, and some are capital groups that provide funds for them to burn. However, my current food delivery company is private, and Allen has not burned money!
Without enough discounts, the number of customers is relatively small. They are only engaged in the takeaway business. In addition, the current comprehensive supermarket has not yet formed, and the profit source of the takeaway company is too single, and Allen does not pay the employees of the takeaway company. It's low, so you lose money in the end.

Looking at it now, it seems normal to lose some money, and Alan's purpose of setting up this food delivery company is not pure, he can indirectly support thousands of strong men, this thing
He usually wears a blue vest and is a takeaway boy. At the critical moment, he puts on a camouflage uniform. What do you think they are?
In future online food delivery companies, will their delivery guys work so hard for the boss?
The two are not of the same magnitude at all!

Now Alan can see the problem, but there are two ways to break the situation in front of him.
The first is to go further to the big cities, grit your teeth and spend all the funds to expand and attract new customers.

But in this way, many of his other plans will not have financial support. This is a bit too risky, and Allen is very resistant. He doesn't like this kind of desperate behavior, it's irrational!

And the second point is to slowly expand and then think of some way to let the food delivery company do some part-time work. Even if it can’t create benefits in a short period of time, it has to do the work first to create long-term benefits. The status quo cannot be maintained.

Allen preferred the second method, but for a while, he couldn't think of what to do.

These takeaways run on the street every day, what can they do on the way?

Taking another sip of the wine, Allen subconsciously grabbed a few peanuts and stuffed them into his mouth, and then picked up a piece of beef, looking at the tendons on the tendons, the transparent color, and a striped road, like a road extending in all directions.

Ok?
Allen looked at these lines and suddenly remembered something, or an idea.

Now that the Internet has just begun to be popularized, that is to say, there is no electronic map, right?

I have a film and television company myself, and there is no shortage of various photography equipment in the company, even if the quantity is not enough, can't I still use public funds to buy equipment.

In addition, my takeaway staff are all driving to deliver food, so it is not a problem to install a camera on the roof, right?

In this way, you can take pictures wherever you go, and with your own expansion in the future, isn’t this the first to make the electronic map of Daying?
Can this thing be sold for money?

Even if you don’t sell it for money, if you make a navigation in the future, you will not only have the upper hand, but you can also use this thing to make other money. Moreover, with the electronic map in the future, the delivery staff will not need to hold a paper map to find the way slowly. This is more conducive to the expansion of your own food delivery company.

Although there is no benefit to be seen in a short period of time, in the long run, it is definitely a big event that is very important to me!
That's all!

Smothering the rest of the wine in the wine cup, Allen picked up the paper and wrote down the recent adjustment plan.

First of all, purchase equipment, and then launch the electronic map (street view) collection plan. However, this kind of map collection should involve national security. When the time comes, let's see who to go with and see if you need to apply for any documents. Category.

"Haha, if you are gone, you will be gone, because you have a drink and gave me a new project. This is not good, it is not good, this is indeed a new era, and from now on it will be the era of the Internet gone."

Alan was the only one left in the study, staring at the new project on the paper, muttering happily to himself.

PS: I finally finished this volume. I keep thinking about all kinds of alternative words, and my head is almost bald. Some words and names can’t be used, or they will become stars, characters and harmony, or a whole chapter Harmonize and harmonize.

Don’t write it. In my opinion, writing chronological essays regardless of the era is almost like playing hooligans.

Some things can only happen in a certain period, in a certain era, and if they are misplaced and happen again, it will appear very weird and out of date.

Fortunately, in the last period of time, I actually have a week in a row, uh... no, I haven't been banned for almost half a month, happy!
