Chapter 195 The drugstore is bursting with orders

I just want to continue to observe what tricks Liu Zhijie will reveal.

 But he suddenly stood up and hurriedly pulled his female companion to leave.

  "I haven't had enough fun yet," the female companion reluctantly shook off his hand.

 "Where are you going in such a hurry?"

 Liu Zhijie's eyes flashed: "Of course, to the hotel, it's too noisy here."

 Looking at his back as he left in a hurry, I was thoughtful.

 It is self-evident what a man and a woman would do in a hotel at this time.

 However, Liu Zhijie's panic at the moment was probably not just because of impatience, but more like he was avoiding something.

 I wrote down the direction in which they left, and planned to ask Team Liu to check it tomorrow to see if there was really something wrong with him.

Liu Zhijie almost dragged his female companion away in a hurry. The woman was still complaining dissatisfiedly.

  As soon as I looked away, Li Zaixun came over and said, "You see others spending so much money, are you ashamed?"

  I guess it was because I didn't order any wine just now, which aroused Li Zaixun's dissatisfaction.

  "Manager Li is overthinking. Mr. Wang may use the car at any time, and I need to stay awake."

  The muscles on his face twitched: "Yes, the driver's job is to be on call."

  He sat in the booth for another half an hour, except for a few tables of ordinary customers and the increasingly louder electronic music, and found nothing special.

 I got up and left, sat in the cab, and sorted out what I had discovered tonight. There were many problems in the half-awake bar.

 But all the threads point to the same person, Lee Jae-hoon. His little tricks, indulgent marketing and accompanying wine, and accounts that always don't match up.

 Perhaps, it’s time to go to the newly opened Yunding in the south of the city.

I heard that the rules of that store are very strict, and the manager was hired from a star-rated hotel.

 It is better to go and see what other people do than to be trapped in the muddy water of Li Zaixun.

 The next morning, after I went to the site to handle the morning rush hour dispatch, I walked into the office and dialed Team Liu’s number.

   "Liu Captain, I met a suspicious person at the bar last night."

   Liu's voice came from the other end of the phone: "What's the specific situation? What's the appearance?"

  "It looks like a fraudster, I'll send you his appearance on WeChat."

 After hanging up, I pulled up the photos I took secretly last night. Liu Zhijie was holding a wine glass.

 The moment the WeChat notification was sent successfully, Team Liu’s video request popped up.

 In the picture, he is handing the photo to his colleague, with a whiteboard filled with case information in the background.

   "We have been keeping an eye on this man for a long time, do you know where he lives?"

  "I'm not sure about that. I saw him heading towards the hotel last night and didn't follow him." I answered truthfully.

 Captain Liu pondered for a moment: "If you see him again, call me immediately. Don't act without authorization."

 After chatting a few more superficial information about the case, we ended the call.

Although Team Liu's tone was restrained, his sudden concentration convinced me that this Liu Zhijie was indeed not simple.

 Hang up the phone, I clicked on the rider group and sent Liu Zhijie’s slightly blurry photo.

 "Brothers, be careful. If you encounter this person when delivering orders, please contact me anytime." "Looks familiar...did he hang out in the old city?"

 "I think I saw him on Jianshe Road yesterday!"

 I quickly typed a reply: "Don't ask too much, just do as you are told. I don't know the specific situation, but he is the person the police are looking for."

 At this time, another message popped up: "Is there any reward for reporting?"

 "Everything that should be available will be available." I finally replied.

  Strangely, there was no news from Liu Zhijie in the next few days.

 No one in the group of riders reported seeing him, and several of the places he frequented were nowhere to be seen. It was as if this man had disappeared from the world.

 I didn’t pay too much attention to it. I originally intervened in this matter because I wanted to help Charlene solve the problem.

 Secondly, I could provide some clues to the police. Now that the real owner is gone, I feel relieved.

  I did not continue to pursue Liu Zhijie’s matter and went to my small drugstore instead.

 Since he started promoting on the platform, the number of orders has increased dramatically, and Qin Xue can't handle it alone.

Even before I entered the door, I heard the sound of the printer spitting out orders like crazy.

   Qin Xue was packing bags in a hurry.

  "Get these done first." She thrust a stack of orders into my hand, turned around and packed them again.

  I put down a few boxes of drinks I bought on the way, "Is it a huge order?" I glanced at the pile of packages.

  "The promotional combo pack is the best-selling, and the inventory is almost gone." Qin Xue responded.

 At this time, a rider in a takeout uniform hurriedly opened the door and came in to take the order. He was obviously stunned when he saw me: "Stationmaster?"

 I took out a bottle of drink from the carton and handed it over: "It's a hot day to quench my thirst. I own this store."

 The rider took the bottle and grinned: "Understood! I will be the first to deliver orders from this store when I see them in the future."

 Watching the electric car disappear around the corner, I continued to unpack the packaging.

 Qin Xue said softly: "Isn't this too obvious?"

 "What you want is obvious. A bottle of drink costs three yuan, which can save half an hour of delivery time. Riders get benefits, and we maintain customer reviews."

 The printer spit out a few new orders. To survive in this city, sometimes algorithms and human kindness are just the distance between a bottle of iced drink.

  The store was completely overwhelmed today.

 The printer has been spitting out orders like crazy since the morning and almost never stopped.

 Hundreds of orders were all for that condom combo package.

 The traffic-draining product I specially designed, including platform deductions and packaging costs, costs more than two yuan per order.

Today's recommendation fee, after the limit is burned, Qin Xue can rest for a while: "Boss, is it okay to make money at a loss like this?"

 "The money you lose now will be the money to buy customers in the future."

 A rider came three times at the same time, and I stuffed different drinks into his insulator each time.

         Qin Xue looked at the report and frowned: "Today's loss was 440 yuan."

   I pointed to the membership data in the background: "But there were 220 new customers."

  Qin Xue counted the few remaining stocks, raised her head and asked me: "How many days will this promotion last?"

  "The plan is to do it for seven days to see the effect. When these customers develop consumption habits, we will gradually adjust the discount." I am still sure.

 On the site, I can see the data of many merchants, and many stores did this in the early stage.

  Can quickly increase exposure for new stores.

  While I was talking, I dialed Manager Huang's number again, "Manager Huang, please send me a few more boxes of condoms."

  "Boss Chen! Are there a lot of orders today?" He smiled when he answered the phone.

I looked at the numbers written by Qin Xue on the note and added, "In addition, five boxes of cranberry capsules and vitamin B complex are also added."

Manager Huang reminded me while writing: "The profit of the condom is too thin, should I combine it with some profit money?"

"I was about to tell you this." I told Manager Huang about the new package.

 After hearing this, Manager Huang praised: "Brother Chen, I am very optimistic about you."
