Chapter 398

During the time Takumi was away, many things in Guiliyuan were handled in an orderly manner.

Now, Shenhe could already manage things on her own, which made Takumi very satisfied.

After dealing with some matters that required his personal attention, Takumi began checking the current situation on the Internet through the network's backend.

He noticed that some ISPs had started exchanging images. 

Good grief.

As expected, the power of the Internet was vast in this world.

After muttering to himself for a while, Takumi checked the current network environment.

After the implementation of real-name authentication, many people had settled down. 

Especially after the Qianyan Army arrested a large number of Internet trolls, many individuals became more cautious.

Foreign visitors also applied for Liyue's temporary ID cards so they could continue browsing the Internet, but they dared not act too recklessly.

After all, the Qianyan Army genuinely enforced the law.

Additionally, some people had begun to question Takumi's real-name authentication system.

They found the positioning system too invasive.

"Damn, isn't this basically spying on everyone?"

For this, Chisato did not provide any explanation.

"Use it if you want. If not, leave."

That was the attitude.

Observing the rapidly improving network environment, Takumi felt quite satisfied.

Meanwhile, he noticed several new applications in the app store.

Takumi was speechless when he saw an app called "Takeaway."

Was this Mr. Abe's doing?

Out of curiosity, Takumi downloaded it.

After browsing through the available stores, he was at a loss for words.

Checking the backend, he saw that only a few dozen people were using it.

"Dude, who is this app even for?"

The listed stores seemed exclusive to a handful of places.

Muttering to himself, Takumi left the General Affairs Department and went straight to the alchemy workshop to find Abe Shao.

At that moment, Abe Shao was still working on perfecting the takeaway software.

Takumi approached him.

"Let me take a look at your merchant system."

Hearing Takumi's words, Abe Shao froze.

"What merchant system?"

Abe was confused.

Takumi was momentarily speechless.

"You don't have a merchant system?"

"Then how do you process orders?"

Takumi looked at Abe Shao, puzzled.

Abe did not hide anything.

"I just record the merchant's menu."

"Then, when someone places an order, the hotel receives a text message."

Takumi's expression turned odd.

"Then how is this different from simply sending a text message?"

"Good grief!!"

"This makes no sense."

Takumi didn't even know how to respond.

"What kind of delivery software is this?"

"It's just an automated messaging system."

"How is that any different from manually sending a message?"

Takumi gave Abe Shao a strange look.

Hearing Takumi's words, Abe Shao was stunned.

Oh.

That… actually made sense.

"Then… what should I do?"

Now Abe was dumbfounded.

Had he made a mistake?

Takumi sighed.

It seemed this guy's understanding of software was still too shallow.

Thinking of this, Takumi immediately said:

"You should have three systems."

"One for customers, one for merchants, and another for delivery personnel."

Takumi sat down and began explaining how to structure the takeaway system.

Additionally, there should be a backend management system.

Perhaps, once Abe Shao built everything properly, they could establish a delivery company?

With this in mind, Takumi explained everything to Abe Shao.

Albedo, who was nearby, became interested.

He stopped what he was doing and listened attentively.

As Takumi spoke, both of them nodded thoughtfully.

After covering all the details, Abe Shao finally spoke up:

"I understand."

"But managing all this… won't it be too troublesome?"

He was a bit discouraged.

If that was the case, it would make things more complicated.

"Can it make money?"

Albedo, on the other hand, had a different perspective.

He was already thinking about profitability.

Takumi nodded.

"Of course, it can make money."

"And a lot of it."

"Let's set up a software company."

"Albedo, Abe Shao, you two can be the technical directors."

"We'll hire someone to manage it."

"They will be responsible for overseeing delivery staff."

Takumi laid out his vision.

Hearing this, Albedo was very interested.

Takumi's plan for monetization made a lot of sense.

After thinking for a while, Albedo made a decision.

"Alright!"

"I'll leave it to you to handle."

He had no objections.

This could work.

Since Albedo had no issues, Takumi continued:

"Then it's settled."

"We'll set up a dedicated building as the headquarters of the Internet company."

"Besides, chat software, Weibo, and similar platforms will also be managed under the same company."

"Once the takeaway software is fully developed, everything will be managed together."

Takumi made a firm decision.

In the future, all of these projects would be centralized for efficient management.

This could also be an opportunity to train programmers.

Takumi outlined all his thoughts at once.

He even directly signed a contract with Albedo and Abe Shao.

Albedo and Abe Shao each received 20% of the shares.

Takumi retained 60%.

Neither of them had any objections to this arrangement.

They even signed their names on the contract without hesitation.

Now, the two of them would focus on building the delivery system.

After explaining everything, Takumi left.

Albedo and Abe Shao would dedicate themselves to perfecting the system.

With a clear plan, the programming could be completed in about half a month.

Meanwhile, Takumi instructed them to recruit programmers.

Once trained, they could work in the new company.

Both agreed with Takumi's plan.

Takumi then left the lab and headed to Sucrose's office.

At that moment, Sucrose was carefully observing a plant and recording its changes.

Takumi's arrival didn't disturb her.

He waited patiently.

After a while, Sucrose finally noticed him.

"Eh?"

"Takumi!!"

"Why are you here?"

Sucrose was surprised to see him.

She quickly stood up and greeted him.

Takumi glanced at the beautiful flower Sucrose had been studying and asked curiously:

"Is this the flower you used to extract the cold medicine?"

Takumi still remembered something about it.
