Chapter 645 The Huge Market

The idea of ​​making money is there, but the IT company has not yet been seen.

It can even be said that even people have not yet fully settled.

Among the two programmers, Chen Jiayao is determined to follow Wu Xiaozheng. He has already resigned and enjoys Chef Wu's preferential employee treatment.

Zhong Mingyu was a little hesitant.

For Zhong Mingyu, it is indeed a bit of a dilemma for him to make a choice now.

On the one hand, Chef Wu's generous salary, but a company that has not yet formed, on the other hand, the status of a university teacher with meager income but a stable job.

If he wanted him to resign immediately, he couldn't make up his mind yet.

Wu Xiaozheng was ready to put some pressure on him.

"It's not that you have nothing to do, but you have plenty to do. The development of this ordering system is still just the beginning."

The best way to convince such a programmer is not to go straight, but to let him see hope.

Therefore, Wu Xiaozheng simply followed Zhong Mingyu's topic.

"Ah?" Zhong Mingyu was a little surprised.

After all, he is not a very experienced programmer. He doesn't know that after a system is developed, there is a perfect process.He even didn't know that after a system has been perfected, refined, and modified in a targeted manner, its application range can be extended widely.

"This system is just a simple food ordering system. The next thing to do is to add the purchase, sale and storage function, and improve the function to make it a complete cash register system for the catering industry."

Wu Xiaozheng first brought up the function of purchase, sale and storage.

This is very important.

Taking Chef Wu’s restaurant as an example, the quantity of each ingredient is limited, and the amount of dishes that can be supported is also limited. If the raw materials in the back kitchen have been used up, the front desk is still accepting orders from customers , this will cause trouble again.

Moreover, from a management point of view, managers need to be aware of the stock and shortage of raw materials, so that they can replenish raw materials in a timely manner.

Moreover, the clear invoicing management function is also of great benefit in auditing for the upper-level managers of chain stores.

A clear purchase, sales and storage function can largely prevent grassroots personnel from playing tricks.

"Oh."

Both Zhong Mingyu and Chen Jiayao accepted Wu Xiaozheng's explanation.

At the same time, they also knew that there was something else to do next.

But it's not over yet.

Wu Xiaozheng added: "After the cash register system in the catering industry is completed, you will immediately start the development of the cash register system in Grand View Plaza."

The two programmers have long heard about Wu Xiaozheng's investment in Grandview Plaza and the construction of a hypermarket.

Zhong Mingyu said carelessly: "That's simple, as long as the system on the hotel side is slightly modified, it can be used in Grandview Plaza."

Wu Xiaozheng immediately vetoed it: "Not necessarily."

Not necessarily.

There is a big difference between the cash register of a hypermarket and a restaurant.

First of all, the cash register system of the restaurant is relatively simple, only one cash register can handle the operation of the entire restaurant.But hypermarkets are completely different.Among other things, just a large supermarket has at least dozens of cash registers operating at the same time.

Therefore, in hypermarkets, the networking function of the cashier system is a must.

Not only that, in addition to supermarkets, hypermarkets also include electrical department, clothing department, catering department, game entertainment department and many other industries. From the perspective of the management of the entire store, these different industries can use slightly different cash registers. system, but a large network is really necessary.

In addition, there are far more types of goods in hypermarkets than in catering, and the requirements in terms of purchase, sale and storage are also much stricter.

It can be said that the cash register system of a hypermarket is a huge system engineering. Compared with it, the cash register system of the catering industry can only be regarded as a pediatrics.

"what?"

After hearing Wu Xiaozheng's description, the two programmers were shocked again.

Just listening to Wu Xiaozheng talk about the simple needs of hypermarkets, they have already realized that this is definitely a big project, which is very difficult and challenging for them.

"If we really want to build such a large system, it seems that the two of us are not enough."

After thinking for a while, Zhong Mingyu asked a question.

Good to be aware of that!
Wu Xiaozheng was not eager to answer this topic, but asked: "Have you realized that what you are doing now contains huge business opportunities?"

"what?"

For the two programmers, they are good at developing software, but it is a bit difficult for them to want to make money and business opportunities.

Wu Xiaozheng reminded: "After the cash register system in the catering industry is completed, it can be packaged and sold to other restaurants for use?"

"what?"

The two programmers were still a little confused.

Wu Xiaozheng began to tell them how big the market was.

"In Changshi alone, there are at least hundreds of big restaurants that are close to Chef Wu's restaurant in scale. If we roll out this system, each restaurant will sell for 5 to [-] yuan. In the Changshi market alone It’s probably in the millions.”

"If we make a simplified version and promote smaller restaurants, the market size will be several million more!"

"You do the math again, how many large-scale restaurants are there in the country? The market size should be calculated in at least [-] million yuan!"

The two programmers were immediately stunned.

It's just that they built an ordering system according to Wu Xiaozheng's needs. They didn't expect that Wu Xiaozheng would have such a big business opportunity after a little operation.

Zhong Mingyu couldn't help asking, "Can it be sold?"

It must be sold!
At this time, Wu Xiaozheng was very proud.

What he can be sure of is that this cash register system is definitely the first in the country.

You must know that among the well-known software companies in China, the well-known UFIDA is still working on the development of financial statement systems in this era, and has not yet set foot in the application of specific industries.

Another well-known software company, Kingdee, will not be established until next year.

In this era when computers are still not popular, and even the promotion of financial reporting systems has just begun, how can any software company focus on specific industry applications?
Besides, even if a software company has already thought of this, there must be a specific catering company to raise the demand!

A new technology will be slowly accepted by traditional industries only after its application matures and its advanced nature is demonstrated.

However, Chef Wu's cash register system is different. This is the need that Wu Xiaozheng first raised, and this system was born.

And after the application of this system matured in Chef Wu's restaurant, there were successful cases to show to peers, showing the huge benefits obtained after applying this system.

For a catering company that invests hundreds of thousands of dollars at every turn, is a system of 5 to [-] yuan expensive?
Not expensive at all.

If it wasn't for Wu Xiaozheng's desire to quickly occupy the market, no matter how expensive it is, someone would want it.

The most critical point is that this is still a unique business, and there are no competitors at all.

After hearing Wu Xiaozheng's explanation, both Zhong Mingyu and Chen Jiayao were stunned.

They did not expect that such a small cash register system contained such a huge market.

Is this market big?

of course not.

Wu Xiaozheng spoke again: "About this cash register system, do you only think of the catering industry?"

The two programmers were stunned again.
