Chapter 469: Applying for the Scan Patent

After moving into the office building, Shen Yan began to set his hand to two matters.

First, assemble a field promotion team of five hundred people, responsible for promoting Kuaida Delivery at all universities nationwide, starting from first-tier cities and gradually expanding to the surrounding areas.

There is nothing much to say about this; leave it to Chen Xiaowei to handle.

Second, expand the team.

Nowadays, Yancheng Technology is no longer that obscure little company; although it is far from comparable to those internet giants, it is full of potential.

As long as the compensation is sufficient, there is no worry about not finding high-end talent.

Master's and doctoral students about to graduate from Hangzhou University are precisely the targets Shen Yan is hunting.

Due to the company's reputation, it quickly recruited eight technical talents, and Shen Yan immediately arranged tasks to go all out in developing Easy Pay and the Kuaida Delivery app.

The programmers' bodies trembled in shock.

Ordering food via mobile phone? What a stunningly brilliant idea.

Compared to computers, it is more promotable and convenient; there is no reason it wouldn't be loved by the masses.

The pity is that the price of smartphones is too high, and they cannot be popularized in a short time.

Perhaps this situation will improve in the next few years.

Regarding the page design and functions of the two apps, Shen Yan already had a plan; there was no need for the programmers to think, they just needed to realize the goals step by step according to his vision.

In this way, a great deal of effort could be saved.

At the same time, the Food Delivery Platform 3.0 version went online; the delivery fee was changed from a fixed 1 yuan per order to a distance-based charge: a starting price for 0-3 kilometers, and for over 3 kilometers, an additional 1 mao for every 0.1 kilometer.

The starting price is borne by the merchant, and the excess part is borne by the buyer.

Additionally, Easy Pay is no longer a simple third-party payment website.

Shen Yan arranged for people to negotiate with relevant departments regarding public utility payments, including water, electricity, gas, communications, etc.; regarding these trivial matters, the relevant departments were eager for someone to share the workload.

Without a second word, they opened the connection window to Easy Pay.

Next, Shen Yan found major banks, hoping to launch credit card express payment.

No money to eat?

A small piece of cake; Kuaida Delivery will help you solve the problem in advance.

Regarding this kind of behavior of promoting credit cards to increase consumption, the banks agreed with such readiness, and even affectionately expressed: "If President Shen needs funds, just speak up; the loan business will give your company the green light across the board."

Shen Yan replied with a smile: "I will surely be troubling you with visits in the future."

Busy and bustling, in the blink of an eye, time arrived at June.

The lotus leaves reach to the sky in infinite blue, and the lotus flowers reflecting the sun are uniquely red.

During this period, the eleven storefronts from the Shanghai demolition compensation were finally in place; Shen Yan had no time to handle these matters and dumped them all onto an agent.

It just so happened that the surrounding logistics park officially began operations, and under the huge flow of people, a food street emerged as the times required.

The eleven storefronts were snatched up immediately, bringing in millions in rent every year.

Extremely comfortable!

Under the scorching sun, the semester was about to come to an end, and the students fell into a bitter life of review.

The teachers circled the key points in class, and the students gathered in the front rows, listening intently.

Usually a sanatorium, at the end of the term, a madhouse.

Ding-a-ling!

The bell for the end of class rang, and the final class of this semester concluded successfully.

Next, there would be 5 days of review time, followed by a 3-day final exam period.

Seeing Chen Shanni preparing to get up and leave, Luo Qiqi hurriedly called out to her: "Shanni, it's unbearably hot these days; can Youwei and I go to your place to stay for a few days so we can review our lessons together?"

"This..." Chen Shanni looked slightly conflicted.

According to common sense, she would have agreed to this trivial request without a second word, just like last semester, discussing studies with each other.

But today is not like the past.

The arrival of the two women would inevitably affect the time she spent with Shen Yan.

But it was not easy to refuse, after all, they were all good friends.

Yu Youwei saw that she had unspeakable concerns and said with a faint smile: "If it's inconvenient for you, then forget it; it's the same for us to read in the dormitory."

Now Chen Shanni felt embarrassed to decline: "It's not inconvenient at all; on such hot days, the dormitory really is uncomfortable without an Air Conditioner, I very much welcome you both to come."

"That's great! Thank you, Shanni."

The two women were instantly overjoyed, and the heavy stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground.

The sun was scorching; Hangzhou is one of the hottest furnaces in Zhe Province, with daytime temperatures going above forty degrees, which is simply unbearable.

In such intense heat, a dormitory without an Air Conditioner is like a sauna, making it impossible to sleep; now they could finally escape this hot prison.

On the other side, the National Intellectual Property Administration.

Shen Yan, who walked out from inside, could not suppress a smile.

After the collaborative research between Yancheng Technology and Yirui Technology, the mobile "Scan" function was successfully developed a few days ago, and just now, he submitted the relevant patent application to the Intellectual Property Office.

In addition, he also entrusted people to submit patent applications in more than one hundred countries and regions, including Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea.

Next, he just needed to wait quietly for the review.

Returning home, as expected, it was empty; Shen Yan had been notified in advance that two "uninvited guests" had arrived next door, so he would have to be sneaky if he wanted to eat meat in the next few days.

Just thinking about it felt exciting.

Right, the corresponding items for women must be put away.

After tidying up a bit, it was just time for a meal, so Shen Yan sent a message to ask if there was food next door.

Alright! As expected, he had overthought it; everyone was buried in their studies, and outside it was as hot as a living hell, so who would have the mood to buy groceries and cook for themselves?

Fortunately, there is the home-living artifact that is food delivery.

First, I'll have a crab pot, a bullfrog pot, a fish and shrimp combo, and the Spicy Three Musketeers.

Let's calculate the price! 428!

This seems like a bit too much food, and the rider surely wouldn't want to deliver it, so Shen Yan called the boss.

"Boss, arrange for the rider to deliver my order first, there's a twenty-yuan tip."

Problems that can be solved with money are not problems at all.

The boss loved such a generous customer and agreed immediately: "No problem, I'll start preparing it right now."

As the first city to promote food delivery, after two months, delivery was no longer limited to schools.

After all, with riders coming in and out of restaurants every day, it was hard for other bosses to turn a blind eye.

With just a little asking around, the situation became crystal clear.

Just like that, through word of mouth, more and more merchants proactively joined the platform.

Not long after, the second-generation smart voice receipt printer, which Shen Yan invested in developing, was born.

Whenever a customer placed an order, the receipt printer would not only print automatically but also broadcast via voice: "You have a new Kuaida Delivery order, please process it in time."

Hey!

Customers became interested the moment they heard it; it turned out the food they liked could be delivered to their door.

It was simply a godsend for lazy people.

Especially on rainy days or under the scorching sun, going out to eat was absolutely a form of torture.
