Chapter 275 Shallow or Deep (Part 1)
freewēbnoveℓ.com Gao Fangzhou’s classmate’s family name was Le, and his nickname was Lele.
Different from Gao Fangzhou’s slender stature, Lele was about one meter eighty-something tall. Standing together, they gave off an illusion of one being from heaven and the other from earth.
"A cash register system," Lele got interested as soon as he heard it: "That’s a solid idea, why haven’t I thought of that before? If there’s a cash register system, it would make collecting money in stores much more convenient."
"I also heard from someone that computers, those gadgets, are more useful than human brains. Since Fangzhou studies computer science, I just shared this idea with him." Modern cash register systems were already well developed, summarizing daily shipments, sales, and profits, all with the click of a computer.
If it’s just a small store, using a calculator to collect money might not pose any problem. But if one wants to open a large supermarket, having good cash register equipment would be much more convenient.
"We could give it a try and help you out," Lele was shrewder than Gao Fangzhou, supposedly born into a business family, his mind slicker than most: "Just that, if we get this working for you, what’s in it for us?"
"There will certainly be benefits." Xiaofeng looked at him and smiled slightly, "We could pay you directly, or you could apply for a patent and I could buy the computers from you, whatever you charge per unit."
After all, if they actually managed to develop a cash register system, it wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing for them.
Starting next year, a large number of supermarkets would debut domestically. Whoever got the first big leg up would be the winner.
Hearing Xiaofeng’s words, Fangzhou repeated, "Apply for a patent?"
