84: These girls are really capable.
Ye Tian described his vision.
"That's not difficult. The kind of lid design you mentioned is a feature in the small trash cans our factory produces, and the sieve at the bottom is even simpler. If you need a lot, we can even customize them in bulk for you separately."
"This... I don't need many for now. Can you make a few according to my requirements first to see? If the results are good, I might need more later."
"That works, but since this is a custom modification, you'll need to pay a deposit. After all, the lid involves compromising the original integrity of the product."
"That's fine."
After some discussion, Ye Tian ordered five large sanitation-style trash cans, paying a 50 yuan deposit for each. He arranged to pick them up in the evening and then left.
He returned to the Breeding Farm.
The two workers repairing the house had already started.
They had also mixed the cement and other materials outside.
Ye Tian watched for a while and asked the master worker to help measure the dimensions of the roof and the main gate.
Leaving Zhang Liang to continue watching, he took the list and went to the building materials market.
He found a shop selling steel mesh screens and gave them the list of dimensions.
Then, he left the address of the Breeding Farm and headed straight back to the Housekeeping Company.
Just like yesterday, there was only one person in the shop.
"Where are the others? Are they all out on jobs?"
Ye Tian asked, glancing at Dai Xiaomeng, who was hunched over the counter writing something in a notebook.
"Yeah, Boss. We already made appointments with those two families yesterday. Also, look at this."
As she spoke, Dai Xiaomeng handed the notebook over.
Ye Tian looked at it.
13 Keming Street, appointment at 2 PM, pest control and housekeeping.
201 Tashan Street, appointment at 2:30 PM, pest control.
118 Dongmenkou, appointment at 4 PM, pest control and housekeeping.
...
"So many?"
Ye Tian exclaimed, looking at the appointment information recorded in the small notebook with pleasant surprise.
"Well, since the products the Boss provides are so effective, anyone who sees them would definitely want to try them. Plus, our fees aren't high. For a few hundred yuan, they can get a deep cleaning for their shop. Why wouldn't they? However, if things continue to develop at this rate, I'm afraid the few of us won't be able to keep up. Pest control is fine, it only takes a few minutes, but housekeeping really takes a few hours to finish."
"Hmm, I've considered that, which is why I have you all rotating shifts every day—to get familiar with the various work processes so that it'll be easier to train new people later."
Ye Tian nodded, his gaze sweeping over the counter, feeling like something was missing.
He quickly rushed off to the computer market.
He picked out an office computer for around a thousand yuan and had the seller install cashier software on it.
Then, he had the seller help deliver the computer to the Housekeeping Company and set it up.
Half an hour later, the new computer was installed and calibrated.
Looking in from outside the door, Ye Tian felt it looked much more perfect.
Then, while the computer seller was still there, Ye Tian had him demonstrate how to operate it for himself and Dai Xiaomeng.
Before long, the two college students, who weren't slow-witted, had learned most of it.
"From now on, use this software to register appointment information and customer details; it looks much cleaner and more convenient."
Giving up the seat, Ye Tian instructed Dai Xiaomeng.
"Alright, Boss. With this software, recording things will be much more convenient. Otherwise, as time goes on, relying just on the notebook would definitely make it hard to keep track. Especially for those customers who want long-term housekeeping, they could easily be overlooked."
It was clear that Dai Xiaomeng truly treated the company's affairs as her own, recording everything meticulously.
Ye Tian nodded with satisfaction, secretly admiring his own judgment.
Having these Girls here really saved him a lot of worry.
So, the urgent priority now was to make the Housekeeping Company completely formalized.
Thinking this, Ye Tian rode his bike toward Changle Restaurant.
It wasn't lunch time yet, and Wang Shufen and the waiter were washing vegetables and doing prep work.
"Oh, Ye Tian is here. What do you want to eat for lunch? It's not busy right now, so I'll have the Fat Chef make it for you first."
Seeing Ye Tian, Wang Shufen greeted him warmly.
"Sister, I'm not in a rush to eat. I wanted to ask, what documents are needed to register our Housekeeping Company?"
Wang Shufen was stunned, then slapped her forehead: "Look at my memory. I've been so busy these past two days that I forgot about such an important matter."
As she spoke, Wang Shufen quickly put down her work, turned around, and went back to the counter to grab her bag.
Then, in a rush, she called Ye Tian to drive and left the restaurant.
Along the way, Wang Shufen made several phone calls to greet people she knew in the relevant departments.
But even so.
By the time Ye Tian filled out the relevant forms and made the necessary applications, a good half of the day had passed.
Fortunately, seeing that every place required such a long wait, Ye Tian had already persuaded Wang Shufen to go back earlier.
He returned to Changle Restaurant again.
It was almost time for dinner, and after thinking about it, Ye Tian called Zhang Liang and Wang Jia.
After all, since he was acting as the hands-off boss, he couldn't just eat alone after entering the restaurant.
"Ye Tian, how did it go?"
Seeing Ye Tian return, Wang Shufen asked.
"It went okay, but some materials need to be reviewed, so it'll probably take another two days to get it done."
"Hmm, then just wait patiently. This isn't a sensitive industry, so it shouldn't be a problem. What do you want to eat? Sister will get it for you."
"Let the Fat Chef handle it. I called Zhang Liang and my employees to come over too. You and Brother Li should eat with us."
"Hehe, little guy, how much money have you even made, and you're already treating everyone to feasts every day?"
Wang Shufen teased. However, there was no look of reproach on her face.
Ye Tian smiled slightly: "It's not much. Should I give you a report, Sister?"
"Oh, it seems like you had quite a harvest. Alright, let me be happy for you too."
"Okay. Let me start with today's. The first job this morning was confirming the partnership with Boss Wu, whom Brother Li introduced, bringing in 20,000. Then, the shop employees went out on two jobs this morning, bringing in 1,000, and this afternoon they went out on four jobs, bringing in 2,000..."
Ye Tian reported the numbers while scrolling through his phone.
And Wang Shufen had already widened her eyes as soon as the first amount of money was mentioned.
"Two... 20,000? Ye Tian, what kind of job did you take? Does Old Wu have that many Cockroach there?"
"Haha, Sister, there are indeed quite a lot of Cockroach, but it's not what you think. It's Boss Wu paying for a month of pest control in advance. It averages out to about 700 a day, but the advantage is that it's stable."
"I see. But this is still very impressive. By this calculation, you didn't even lift a finger today and earned 3,700?"
"So, Sister, do you think I should reward my employees?"
"You should! I didn't expect those few young Girls to be so capable. I'll go tell the kitchen to prepare a good table for you."
