Ordinary Road 2010

This guy had a winning expression on his face, "But whoever wins must have a lot of money, I want to make a bet with you, do you dare?"
Lin Yi stretched out his hand to signal "you say".
Huang Tao thought it up on the spur of the moment, his eyes wandered around the table: "I bet...it's still this bottle of bar."
"Don't say I bullied you. If you lose at that time, you can drink this bottle of wine in front of the whole class, and I will treat you as an apology."
There was a sneer at the corner of Lin Yi's mouth, he really didn't know where this guy got his confidence?
"Okay, if you lose, it's the bottle of wine, but you have to formally apologize to me and Cui Xiaoxue."
Huang Tao was full of confidence just now, but now he is a little hesitant. If he really wants to do this, he will lose face. Don't mention any shame in the future.
But at this time, he was already on the verge of riding a tiger under the eyes of everyone, so he had no choice but to cheer himself up and said:
"Okay, just bet!"
It was as if Lin Yi was forcing him to gamble, and he suddenly thought of a question: "How do we win or lose?"
Lin Yi shook his head and felt that winning against this kind of guy was really invincible, and he didn't think about the outcome until after all the bets had been placed.
"Whatever you want, I can't think of any reason to lose from any angle."
The tone of these words made Huang Tao very upset. He said suspiciously: "More than income or profit? I'm always worried that you secretly make false accounts."
Zheng Xun, who had been on the sidelines for a long time, finally had a chance to interject: "There are so many of us here today, the whole class can testify to you."
He wanted to end this dispute as soon as possible. It would be embarrassing for this kind of thing to happen at a class dinner, let alone enhance the relationship.
Huang Tao is a villain at heart, he can't trust Zheng Xun at all: "You are here to be witnesses? One of your squad leader and party secretary is his roommate, and the other is his concubine..."
Seeing Cui Xiaoxue staring at him, he temporarily stopped talking: "Anyway, I don't know where the butt is crooked."
Zheng Xun was also a little speechless: "Then what do you want?"
Huang Tao saw Wan Zhilong who was silent behind him, and felt that the counselor should not be bought by the two new class leaders, so he pointed at him:
"I think Teacher Wan should be the witness."
Wan Zhilong found out that the two people were stopped in time, and he didn't bother to get involved in this kind of thing after he didn't do anything. He let Zheng Xun go to mediate, but he didn't expect to come to himself again.
In fact, he didn't want to cause this trouble. The last military training incident caused Lin Yi to fail him, so he was a little afraid of this student.
The current environment seems to be unable to allow him to refuse, otherwise he doesn't know how to continue the quarrel, so he had no choice but to persuade him:
"It's a good thing to have healthy competition among classmates, but is it okay to bet on it?"
This is equivalent to agreeing to come down.
As for his usual smack in the mud, naturally both sides are just farting.
Chapter 217
"Thank you, Lin Yi." Cui Xiaoxue walked to him and said solemnly.
"Thank you? I also want to teach him a lesson."
Lin Yi is really not interested in competing with people like Huang Tao. It is because he has just started his business that he has a wishful thinking that "you can do it, I can do it too". Before long, he won't have the idea of comparison at all. up.
"I know you're not doing it for me, but at least your bet includes seeking justice for me, so it should be counted as my share."
Seeing that Cui Xiaoxue was quite serious, Lin said, "If that's the case, let's save this thank you for the day when he formally apologizes."
"Okay, I believe that day will not be too far away, please let me know if there is anything I can do to help."
Huang Tao also heard this, and he sneered.
In fact, he was being cautious, because the bet did not specify a time limit, and now that Lin Yi's takeaway business had started, he felt that it would take some time to overtake.
And in the worst case, even if he encounters some difficulties, he may not be able to surpass Lin Yi, at least he can use the name of "the time is not up" to get rid of him.
Just ask how to lose?
Of course, Lin Yi didn't think of the loophole that Huang Tao was going to take advantage of, but to be honest, he wasn't worried at all.
He just didn't take Huang Tao seriously.
After such a thing happened, the atmosphere of this class dinner could no longer be maintained, and it soon ended anticlimactically, and everyone dispersed.
On the way back to the dormitory, Zheng Xun was quite embarrassed.
"Lin Yi, Jianguo, I'm sorry, you are here to flatter me today, I didn't expect to be made such a fuss by Huang Tao."
Li Jianguo waved his hand: "Hey, my brother, if you say this, you will be offended."
Of course Lin Yi wouldn't blame him: "Don't talk about Lao Zheng like that, he messed up your hard-working dinner party by making such a fuss."
"Ugh……"
Zheng Xun was also a little worried: "Why do you think Huang Tao is this kind of person? I didn't see it before. I have a good impression of him."
Lin Yi didn't have this trouble at all: "There's no need to think about this kind of problem that is destined to have no results. Some people have known each other for a lifetime and only realized that they were wrong before they died. You have only known him for a few days?"
"You just need to know that the difference between people is sometimes bigger than the difference between people and dogs, and it's normal not to understand each other."
As soon as Lin finished speaking, he realized that it was a bit redundant, and Lao Zheng didn't need him to teach this truth at all.
Sure enough, Zheng Xun quickly let go of this question, and then began to worry about him and Li Jianguo: "Then what about your bet with Huang Tao? How about I go to Teacher Wan and ask him to talk to Huang Tao, and then let it go ?”
Li Jianguo quit first: "Why should I give up? I'm still waiting for that guy to apologize."
Lin Yi asked: "Old Zheng, do you think we will lose to him?"
Of course Zheng Xun didn't mean that: "I just think this bet is very unnecessary. It's a trivial matter, and it doesn't look good for anyone who loses."
As the class monitor, he still had to think about the unity of the class, but Lin Yi and the others didn't have this concern.
"It is indeed a small matter, but the conflict was not provoked by us. On the contrary, if we quit now, it will only fuel his arrogance."
Knowing that he couldn't persuade him anymore, Zheng Xun sighed again: "Oh, then are you confident that you can beat him?"
It's not that he doesn't trust Lin Yi and Li Jianguo, but he is very self-aware.Among the students in his class, he was considered a rare mature person, but Lin Yi was the only person he couldn't see through, and he really didn't know anything about the business field, so he didn't make wild guesses.
This time Lin Yi gave a very clear answer:
"Let's put it this way, we don't regard Huang Tao as an opponent at all. If you can't even compare with such a product, there is no need to spend a lot of time to start any business. Let's go to sleep as soon as possible!"
Zheng Xun looked at the state of Lin Yi and Li Jianguo and could only choose to believe that he was of course on the side of his roommate.
……
"I got it."
Zheng Xun is still competent as the squad leader, and there is nothing that can be hidden from him in the squad.
"Huang Tao spent two or three days thinking about an entrepreneurial project, and now he has warmed up to the boys in the class, except for our dormitory."
Lin Yi didn't speak, he was not really interested, but Lao Zheng also had good intentions.
Li Jianguo sneered: "What can I come up with in just two or three days? Both Lin Yi and I have been busy for a month, not counting the time he spent making the website."
Zheng Xun told what he had heard: "It is said that he is planning to set up a self-service store of love, mainly dealing in stationery."
"This so-called love, he claims that any profit generated by this project will be donated to the Hope Project, and he does not earn a single cent."
"The so-called self-help means that he will place the counter directly downstairs in the dormitory, and there is no one guarding it. Shopping, payment and change are all done by himself."
"What do you think?"
This plan is not complicated, and it sounds like there is a trace of rationality.
The group of college students is relatively simple, and a considerable part of them can be said to be overflowing with love. The rhetoric of "donate all profits" can naturally win their favor.
Selling stationery is nothing more than small items such as pens and notebooks, and the unit price will not exceed ten yuan. Even if no one is guarding, who would be greedy for such a small price?
Lin Yi shook his head, thinking that guy could come up with some clever tricks: "This project can't be successful."
Zheng Xun sincerely asked, "Why?"
"You guys are too optimistic about human nature."
Lin Yi gave his argument: "The prerequisite for the success of this project is that all customers consciously abide by order and trade fairly."
"You don't think it's a problem, because the school is full of teachers and students from key universities, and you think their character should be trustworthy."
"It may be so in broad daylight, but what about in the dead of night? If you know that there is a sum of money within your reach, can you really be indifferent?"
"Even if you can, it doesn't mean that other people can, especially if you know that there will be no consequences if you take it."
Zheng Xun is not a fool, he thought about it and had to admit that Lin Yi was right.
"As for donating with love, first of all, he must be able to make money and make a profit before he can talk about donation. It's too early to brag about it."
"Secondly, even if everyone is very supportive of his love, and it really generates profits, is his promise enforceable? Who will monitor whether he really donated?"
"Doing good is doing good, and business is business."
“Taking a step back, good deeds can of course have a lot of fanfare and should be rewarded with reputation, but it’s better to do it after you’ve done it than to write a charity check in advance.”
Lin Yi was really not out of prejudice against Huang Tao, but purely based on objective facts to spray this bullshit plan as worthless.
In the end, he gave up his heart: "I seriously doubt that the reason why he opened this self-service store is just because he is too lazy to sit behind the counter to collect money."
"After all, that guy doesn't seem to have much regard for small businessmen. I'm afraid he still thinks that college time should be used to enjoy life."
Chapter 218 An Exciting Offer
Huang Tao's movements were not slow. Not long after Zheng Xun found out about his plan, his so-called "love self-service store" had already opened.
Lin Yi saw this thing downstairs in the dormitory. Specifically, it was an ordinary bookcase divided into three or four floors, and some commonly used stationery were placed on each floor in turn.
On the side of the bookcase, a piece of conspicuous red printing paper is used to write the donation commitment of the "Love Self-service Store", as well as the business method of self-purchase and self-checkout.
There is a small drawer at the bottom, which is used for cash register. Customers need to put their own money into it, and some small bills have been reserved in it for change.
This is because mobile payment is not so popular now, and people still often use cash.
If Lin Yi were to evaluate such a thing, it wouldn't even be considered "rudimentary", but rather "inexplicable".
However, the students who came and went were still very curious about the appearance of this new bookcase, and many people stopped to watch it.
The idea of "love donation" has indeed received unanimous praise from everyone. Lin Yi guessed that they didn't realize that it was just the wishful thinking of an ordinary classmate, and thought it was a public welfare activity carried out by the school.
In short, some students who just needed stationery consciously left money for the purchase in the drawer after purchasing it.
Next to Lin Yi was Li Jianguo, who commented: "At least it seems that it can still operate normally."
What happened now was not beyond Lin Yi's expectation, the test had just begun.
"Just wait, his better days are yet to come."
Otherwise, the Yuanjia Road was narrow, the two of them just stood and watched for a while when they passed by, and the real master Huang Tao also appeared.
After all, if you live on the same floor in the same building, bumping up and down is unavoidable.
"Then thank you for your good words, Lin Yi, haha, if you admit defeat now, there is still time."
The guy looked very smug, and he was really amazed at how he'd come up with such an idea in such a short amount of time.
Am I the legendary business wizard?
The meeting between the two parties this time was not as tense as before, but it was not amicable either, so Lin Yi pushed back without any hesitation:
"I'm afraid I'm not so tolerant. Regardless of whether you voluntarily surrendered or not, I will insist on your request to apologize to us."
Huang Tao snorted unhappily, probably wanting to compete with Lin Yi and revealed another piece of news:
"Don't get complacent too early. Although you delivered food earlier than me, I have already opened three self-service stores like this in the school at one time."
"You won't last long!"
The reason why three bookcases were placed at one time is because the school's dormitories are distributed in three areas, so that "full coverage" can be achieved.
Huang Tao is full of ambition. Although the cost of stationery is small, the speed of investment shows that his financial strength is far beyond that of ordinary students.
Lin didn't feel nervous at all, but kindly reminded him: "This can only mean that you will lose more money this time."
Huang Tao finally realized that his goal of "strategic deterrence" had not been achieved, so his expression turned cold: "I hope that the day you come to apologize to me after losing, you can still be as stubborn as you are now."
He left in a huff after letting go, but Lin Yi just shrugged indifferently.
……
Li Moyan has not been following Lin Yi and Li Jianguo in their "future food delivery empire" recently, but is busy with his own business.
