I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

"Understood, Captain Guards!" Yuan Shuai saluted Chen Xi in a funny way.

"This dress is quite nice-looking. Who designed it?" Looking at the vest with dragon pattern printed on it, an employee couldn't let it go and began to touch it lovingly.

"My girlfriend designed it. What do you think? It's full of oriental elements! Let me tell you, this foreigner likes our oriental dragon." Chen Xi smiled proudly.

This vest was designed by Saori, which just happens to be in line with her major.

"It's not suitable to drive to most areas of the city center for food delivery. Should we get a few bicycles?" Yuan Shuai started to make suggestions again.

"Hmm." Chen Xi had thought about this question a long time ago.

Bicycles in Australia are very expensive at this time, costing more than 1,000 yuan each. If you encounter a foreigner who hits your bicycle, it will be a bit of a loss.

Chen Xi used to often see bicycles with only the frames left parked near train stations in remote areas.

As for why the wheels disappeared, it was not because someone stole them and sold them, but because some naughty foreigners were bored.

In the past, the means of transportation used by the domestic food delivery army were all motorcycles, which were commonly known as lambs during this period.

Chen Xi has sold this little lamb before. This thing is quite popular among foreigners in Australia, but it is very troublesome to register it and get a driver's license, and the price is also quite expensive. The cheapest one starts at 3,000 Australian dollars.

The biggest complaint is that it cannot go on the highway like other broken trailers. Most Australians who go to work in the city have to take the highway, so the effective range of this car is only within the city center.

To be honest, it is better to buy a car to preserve its value because cars are easy to resell, while motorcycles like the Lamborghini are only liked by some foreigners.

"Okay, let's start taking orders. Everyone should try their best to work harder and report any problems you encounter so that Lin Yu can work on the optimization..." Chen Xi stretched out his arm and made a cheering gesture.

In Australia, there is no uniform for food delivery. The appearance of Hungry Dragon immediately attracted everyone's attention and became one of the topics discussed after dinner.

In a company in the city, a middle-aged white man was reading a newspaper: "The news in Australia has become more and more interesting recently, including the trade war, food delivery, and car platforms..."

"You just came back from Da Piaoliang, so you don't know the situation in Australia yet." A middle-aged woman with a well-maintained figure was looking left and right with a makeup mirror.

"If there's anything you don't understand, just read the newspaper and you'll understand. The Australian dollar is now recovering and is already higher than before the financial crisis, and the global economy is recovering. With the development of technology, money-making projects will change dramatically in the future, especially in the East. Global capital is now pouring in there..." The man put down the newspaper.

"Beep, beep, beep." At this time, the phone on the table rang.

"Let him in." The man picked up the phone.

"Who is it?" asked the woman on the sofa.

"The food delivery guy."

"Why not just let him go to the front desk?"

"It's okay. I want to take a look."

"What are you looking at? What's so good about the things sent outside?"

The woman put down the small mirror, her face full of confusion.

"Dong dong."

"Click."

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and a woman walked in with Chen Xi.

"Hello, this is the takeaway you ordered." Chen Xi opened the thermal bag on his back and placed the food inside on the coffee table next to him.

"Excuse me, is your food delivery platform newly established?" the middle-aged man asked curiously, looking at the vest on Chen Xi.

"Yes."

"How much money can you make for one order?" After saying that, the man handed over a yellow fifty-Australian dollar note.

"Thank you. Currently it's about seven dollars per order. I think it will increase in the future." Seeing that someone gave a tip, and it was fifty dollars, Chen Xi answered the man's question without hesitation.

You know, this fifty yuan might be his income from tips over the past two or three days, which shows that this customer is quite generous.

"Seven dollars? How do food delivery companies make a profit? I remember that the salary for pizza delivery people seemed to be higher than this. Is your boss deliberately deducting money?" The man's words were sharp.

"Food delivery companies currently make profits through commissions. You may not know much about the food delivery industry. Other pizza shops actually also take commissions. That is, if the delivery fee is $10, the pizza shop makes two dollars for free, and the deliveryman takes eight dollars."

"So what are the advantages of your food delivery company? It seems that the treatment of food delivery is similar to that of other stores."

"Of course, the mobile phone software automatically matches orders, which greatly improves the efficiency of food delivery. In most pizza shops, deliverymen are usually idle, which means that the boss has to pay them whether they work or not. In fact, the deliverymen themselves don't want to stay in the store. They hope to run more orders. This food delivery software can perfectly solve this problem..."

“Well, that makes sense. But I calculated that even if the platform takes a commission on each order, it is still not profitable. It should still be a loss-making business… Moreover, with more orders, the deliverymen will feel tired, and the employees will complain about the increased workload…” The man nodded, touched his chin and began to mutter to himself.

"Your meal has been delivered, I'll be leaving now." Seeing the man begin to fall into deep thought, Chen Xi said hello and left.

Before leaving, he even looked at the company's sign.

It is an investment company...

Chen Xi was driving the car, singing a cheerful song along with the music:

Queen's Road West and Queen's Road East
Turn from Queen's Road East to Queen's Road Central

Why is there no palace on Queen's Road East...

"

In the cities of the Commonwealth countries, Queen's Road can be found in almost every major city, and Melbourne is no exception.

His order was actually delivered to the famous club in Mo Village, Palace 466.

It was working time and there were basically no customers here. There were only a few seductively dressed women sitting in the hall smoking.

"Why hasn't the takeaway arrived yet? I'm a little hungry." A woman in sandals complained while crossing her legs.

"I've already told you, there's a restaurant right next to here, why don't we just go over and take our food away." Another big wave shook his head.

"Look at us dressed like this, can we go out on the street?" The woman in sandals pointed at her almost transparent nightgown.

"Those customers who went in before were so fierce that they haven't come out yet. It's really pitiful for our little sisters. They have to make money while starving." Big Wave held a mint cigarette in his mouth and looked at the stairs from time to time.

"Aren't all Australian men like this? There aren't any entertainment activities, so when they feel unhappy, they come to our place to have some fun. I hate foreigners the most. They all have serious body odor. They usually tip in restaurants, but they are so stingy here. It's still those teachers who are generous. They give a lot of tips every time they come..." The woman in sandals exhaled a cigarette.

At the entrance of Palace 466, Chen Xi was holding two plastic bags, looking at the sign at the entrance and sighing, "Who said there's no palace next to Queen's Road? This is it..."

"Hello, the takeaway has been delivered." After arriving in the lobby, Chen Xi called the owner and put the two bags in his hand on the table.

"Wow, this guy is quite handsome. He must be an international student. I like international students the most." The woman in sandals was obviously older than Chen Xi. She looked at the man in the vest in front of her carefully.

"Hey boy, your skin is so good. What skin care products do you use?" Big Wave took Chen Xi's hand and kept touching it.

"Um...I used Xiaobao Sod honey..." Chen Xi said jokingly.

"Brother, your delivery is too slow. I'm so hungry that I'm sick. What do you think we should do?" The woman returned to her chair, one of her white feet dangling in the air. "The food you ordered needs to be cooked fresh, so it takes a while to come out. I checked my phone before I came in, and it didn't exceed the estimated time..." Chen Xi felt like she had entered a cave.

As a delivery man, facing two lecherous women, he still explained patiently.

"Well, young man, you are so handsome, and whatever you say is right. This is called beauty is right." Big Wave threw a coquettish glance at Chen Xi.

Women like them face countless men every day.

It’s not that the two women wanted to do that to Chen Xi, but they still felt a little bored staying here and repeating that special work every day.

At this time, Chen Xi had completely become their target for fun.

"You are not hungry, but I am starving. Brother, how do you think you can compensate me, your sister?" The woman in sandals rolled her eyes at the big wave next to her.

"Okay, stop teasing the international students. Delivering food is not easy, this is a tip." Big Wave took out a few bills from the small bag on the table.

Takeaway orders in Australia are now all paid for on delivery, and the payment method is always cash.

Chen Xi plans to cooperate with banks in the future to launch a payment method that binds online bank cards.

"No, no, it's not easy for you guys usually." Chen Xi waved his hand and rejected her kindness.

If someone else gave him a tip, he would happily accept it, but for the tips from these women who were doing special jobs, forget it...

Life is not easy, we should be more understanding.

"Hehe, little brother, you are quite caring. Next time you come to play, I will give you a free meal." Big Wave looked at Chen Xi with a sweet smile.

"Brother, what's your phone number? A good man like you who loves a woman..." The woman next to him actually took out her cell phone and wanted to exchange contact information with Chen Xi.

"Dong dong."

"It feels so good! Brother Xun, I think the quality of the girls here is very good, comparable to..."

"Shut up. If you keep talking too much next time, don't come out again!"

At this time, two men came down from upstairs. After being scolded, one of them could only lower his head and smile awkwardly.

Chen Xi passed by the man who was cursing, and a sense of doubt arose in his heart.

Why does it seem like I've seen this person somewhere before?
"Okay, okay, stop teasing him. Tell the people upstairs to come down for dinner." Big Wave patted the hand of the woman next to him.

The entrance of the clubhouse.

"Brother Xun, what's wrong with you? Didn't you enjoy it enough and want to do it again?" Looking at the man who turned around, the man who had just been scolded suddenly showed a sly smile on his face.

"It's okay. Come on, come on, fuck your mother! We are out here to do business. Don't bring me to places like this in the future. Let's go!" The man patted his younger brother on the head, turned around and walked towards a taxi.

"What a hypocrite! I feel like vomiting after staying on the boat..." The younger brother touched his head, muttered to himself, and followed.

Chen Xi, who had finally gotten rid of the two women, walked to the front of the car and silently lit a cigarette.

Where did I see that person just now?
"Buzz."

"Hey, Chris, what's wrong? Oh, it's okay, I'll pay for the remaining money..."

The caller was a lawyer, and it was about the dog case. He was currently cooperating with the relevant departments to fine the dog, but the matter was still under negotiation, and it was unknown when the result would come out...

The money Gou Zi had on him was certainly not enough to pay the fine. Even if Chen Xi paid the money for him, based on Gou Zi's personality, he would definitely return the money to him later.

Chen Xi was in a good mood, thinking that the dog would be well-behaved for a while.

As a boss, you can't just hire those honest and stupid people. You also need to hire people like Gouzi who have both ability and ambition.

As long as it is used properly, it will definitely bring you considerable benefits.

It is impossible to get such a person to work for you wholeheartedly for the rest of his life. As long as he can bring you enough returns at a specific time, that's enough. This is the same as an investment project.

City, Hungry Dragon Company.

"The platform's main profit now comes from commissions from food delivery, and then from advertising fees. But according to my calculations, it will still be a loss if it continues like this." Lin Yu pointed to the computer screen.

"Yeah, I understand." Chen Xi nodded.

The profit models of certain groups in the past would not work in Australia, such as charging merchants fees, upgrading their rankings, or charging merchants annual fees.

The purpose of setting up this food delivery platform is nothing more than selling cars, so as to ensure that Real-Car can achieve hundreds of carsales.

But if Hungry Dragon continues to lose money in the long run, it will not work. This is nothing more than robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Therefore, a new profit model must be created.

In the past, many food delivery platforms appeared overseas, and they thrived in the early stages by relying on subsidies from investors.

However, in the middle and late stages, the food delivery platform began to show signs of weakness, and most of the deliverymen were idle, resulting in lower revenue for the entire platform.

"Let's do fresh food delivery!" Chen Xi thought about it and came up with a new idea.

"But Australians basically have cars, so they will most likely drive to buy fresh food themselves." Lin Yu shook his head. He felt that this would not work.

"This requires negotiation with merchants. Fresh produce is different from restaurants. Their products have a short shelf life, and products that are about to expire are always sold at super low prices, even for 1 dollar. As long as a good price is negotiated, it can not only guarantee that customers can buy goods cheaply, but also ensure that the platform, deliverymen, and merchants can make money. Then there will be a way. Improve supply chain optimization and cost control capabilities. By integrating upstream and downstream resources, food delivery can reduce procurement costs and improve operational efficiency... Then cooperate with brand merchants to launch joint products or promotional activities to attract more users' attention and use... And we also need to talk to the banks. If we want to support a platform, we must link it with financial products..." Chen Xi remembered that every time he passed by a fresh produce store, the bosses would shout one dollar, one dollar to sell their products that were about to expire at a low price.

"Who should we send to talk?"

"Chen Xu... and Xia Lian..."

Thinking that the business of Real-Property and Sihai were all negotiated by these two people, Chen Xi prepared to use the veteran again.

"Who is Xia Lian?" Lin Yu blinked curiously. He didn't know Xia Lian, so naturally he didn't know.

"Ahem, the person in charge of my other company." Chen Xi coughed lightly and did not mention that Xia Lian was working downstairs at the moment.

"We are now using tools such as Google Analytics to track and analyze key indicators such as user traffic sources, page dwell time, bounce rate, etc. We also record user operations on the platform, such as clicks, searches, purchases, etc., to understand user behavior paths and preferences. I think we should also invite industry experts and consultants to provide professional opinions on platform functions, user experience, etc." Lin Yu added.

"Heh, we are now the number one food delivery platform in Australia, how can we have any industry experts... By the way, you can just invite the professors from your University of Melbourne. Nowadays, university teachers are not very satisfied with their income and often work part-time in other companies. You have so many talented people in your University of Melbourne, you should make full use of them..."

"Um...Okay, I'll let Yuan Shuai find it."

Chen Xi threw the job to Lin Yu, and Lin Yu threw the job to Yuan Shuai.

Yuan Shuai, who was running outside at this time, had no idea that these two guys were planning on him.

"TM... I might as well be writing novels in the company, this job is so tiring! If I had a golden finger and could teleport, wouldn't I be rich delivering food every day? No, I have a golden finger, why should I deliver such a trivial food? Ouch, who is thinking about me again, it must be some girl..." Yuan Shuai, who had just delivered a meal, sneezed.

Today was his first experience delivering food, but it felt pretty bad.

To be honest, this kind of physical work is not suitable for a top student like him. (End of this chapter)
