Chapter 540: Chapter 526: Did This Meal Cost 30,000 Yuan?

In the kitchen.

Huang Tao was with three assistant chefs, processing ingredients like fish and vegetables. Some of the ingredients were already in the pot for pre-cooking.

Food was being fried in the oil pan!

But Huang Tao couldn’t help but multitask, thinking about Lynch’s suggestion of a "recharge minus" promotion, which seemed pretty good.

So...

He decided to put this on the agenda!

Find someone to create a restaurant software!

But the thought that he didn’t know anyone in this field made him a bit troubled.

He glanced over and saw Xu Hao busy nearby, instinctively asking, "Xu Hao, do you have any classmates or friends who know programming?"

"Huh?"

Xu Hao almost thought he misheard.

When it came to knowing classmates or friends in culinary arts, he had a ton, but...

Those studying programming...

Sorry~

He really didn’t know any!

Xu Hao thought for a moment and shook his head, saying, "No, I don’t!"

"Boss, why are you suddenly asking this? Did your computer get a virus or something?"

Huang Tao: "..."

He shook his head: "No."

Finally, he didn’t forget to explain: "I just purely want to create a restaurant software, one where you can directly use WeChat or Alipay to scan and order, and also see the recharge balance."

"Oh~"

Xu Hao realized and then suggested to Huang Tao: "Boss, why don’t you ask the boss who bought the automatic ordering machine last time if they have this kind of service?"

Oh, right!

Huang Tao paused with the slotted spoon in his hand, feeling that Xu Hao made sense.

Just as he was thinking about calling after finishing frying the food, Jiang Chao’s voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "Boss, you want to create restaurant software?"

"Yes!"

Huang Tao nodded, curiously asking, "Chaozi, do you know anyone?"

Jiang Chao laughed, "I don’t, but my dad knows someone in that area."

"Boss, hold on, I’ll call my dad and have him help get in touch!"

"Alright!"

Huang Tao nodded again: "Thanks, Chaozi."

"Boss, you’re too kind~"

Jiang Chao smiled, wiped his hands, and picked up the phone to call his dad, Jiang Mingtao.

When the call connected, his dad’s somewhat dissatisfied voice came through: "You little rascal, what is it? You have to call me now? Don’t you know I’m supposed to be in a meeting at this time?"

Jiang Chao: "..."

He smiled awkwardly: "Dad, it’s like this, our boss wants to create restaurant software but doesn’t know anyone in that field. I thought you might know someone, so I wanted you to help get in touch."

Upon hearing that it was Huang Tao’s place wanting to make an ordering system, Jiang Mingtao’s attitude immediately made a 360-degree turn, taking it seriously and saying with a big smile, "Chao, tell Boss Huang I’ll send someone over right away to help him with this ordering system~"

"They’ll be there in no more than half an hour..."

Goodness!

You change faces faster than Sichuan Opera actors...

Hearing the change in how his dad addressed him, Jiang Chao didn’t know whether to be happy or sad...

He felt like, in his dad’s heart, he wasn’t as important as his own boss!

He was basking in his boss’s light, lucky enough to be affectionately called "Chao" by his dad.

Oh well!

He sighed a little in his heart and, after conveying his dad’s words to Huang Tao, he went back to assisting with the kitchen work.

Huang Tao continued cooking while waiting.

minutes later...

A middle-aged man in a suit, slightly balding, walked into the store with Jiang Mingtao.

"Boss Huang, I’ve brought the person you wanted. This is Manager Yang."

Jiang Mingtao smiled as he entered and said.

Jiang Chao was a little surprised to see his dad, who twenty minutes ago was saying he was busy in a meeting, personally bring someone to the store.

This was the first time his dad ended a meeting early, the first time he personally brought someone over to help.

Apparently, his boss’s influence was strong...

To be honest.

When Manager Yang received a call from Jiang Mingtao’s assistant to go to a small restaurant and set up restaurant software, he was surprised.

What surprised him even more was...

General Manager Jiang personally bringing him over.

You have to know, even when General Manager Jiang set up a system for his own hotel, it wasn’t so solemnly attended to!

He was very curious about what kind of restaurant this was!

To make General Manager Jiang so concerned and active.

"Thank you, General Manager Jiang, for going out of your way. I appreciate it,"

Huang Tao came out of the kitchen, smilingly thanked Jiang Mingtao, and then expressed his needs to Manager Yang sitting beside him: "Manager Yang, please have a seat. Let’s talk while seated."

"General Manager Jiang, please have a seat too!"

"Sure, sure, sure~"

Jiang Mingtao joyfully sat at a nearby table.

Manager Yang nodded and, sitting down, said courteously: "Boss Huang, since you’re a friend of General Manager Jiang, let’s dispense with the formalities and talk business."

Ding Suqin brought three glasses of water over and placed them in front of them.

Huang Tao got straight to the point: "Manager Yang... what I want is something where you can directly use WeChat or Alipay to scan and order, and see the recharge balance..."

"Not a standalone application, right?" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Manager Yang initially thought he had to create a standalone version. Now, hearing Huang Tao’s words, he immediately understood and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, no problem, I’ll start working on it right away."

On the way here, Jiang Mingtao had already briefed him.

This order had to be treated as a major order!

It had to be done with utmost effort!

That’s why Manager Yang was so enthusiastic about helping Huang Tao with this.

"Alright then."

Huang Tao expressed his gratitude: "How much does this software cost in total? How long will it take to complete? Can it be used by dinner time?"

Manager Yang quickly said: "No charge."

"This isn’t a difficult project, just a favor done effortlessly."

Actually, Yang Manager’s Lalifa Network Technology Co. is quite famous domestically.

A complete restaurant software system would normally cost at least thirty thousand.

But since Jiang Mingtao instructed not to charge, it was simply put on his company’s tab.

Manager Yang naturally couldn’t charge anymore.

Huang Tao was reluctant: "We should be charged accordingly. Just because we’re doing you a favor doesn’t mean you should work for free!"

Listening to Huang Tao’s words, Manager Yang instantly understood why Jiang Mingtao valued him so much.

At least he had a good character.

Not willing to take advantage of people.

Manager Yang said with a smile: "It’s really not a hard project. If it were for a friend, I’d also do it for free. Besides, Boss Huang, you’re a friend of General Manager Jiang, which makes you my friend, so no charging."

Huang Tao smiled appreciatively: "Well, how about this! You and General Manager Jiang stay for dinner with us tonight?"

"Sure!"

Jiang Mingtao almost raised his hands in agreement.

He felt this was worth it!

Meanwhile, Manager Yang, looking at General Manager Jiang’s delight, didn’t understand or feel his happiness but, seeing him continuously give signals, reluctantly nodded: "Alright, then it’s no trouble for you, Boss Huang."

Well, can I indirectly interpret this as... this meal costing thirty thousand?

Heart aching!

Without giving it much thought, he immediately started working, taking photos of the menu and dishes on the wall, and sending them to his team.

About half an hour later, it was done.

These were modular, just add the information directly.

"Add or remove dishes, set discounts, and manage recharges directly logged in from the computer; the mobile ordering system syncs the updates."

"Boss Huang, let’s exchange contacts! If you have any questions, you can ask me on WeChat, or we can exchange contact numbers!"

After explaining how to operate it, Manager Yang suggested.

Huang Tao gladly accepted, and after exchanging WeChat and contact numbers with Manager Yang, he tried recharging a yuan.

Immediately.

The WeChat account had an extra yuan.

Great!

With this system, customers will find ordering much more convenient in the future.

Huang Tao looked at the computer, contemplating the discount issue.

Finally.

He made a decision.

Recharge 100 yuan and get 10 yuan free.

Recharge 500 yuan and get 80 yuan free.

Recharge 1000 yuan and get 180 yuan free.
