When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

Inside a conference room at the headquarters of the Yellow Army.

Wang Xing looked at the many executives sitting below, his face full of coldness.

“I know that many people think that once a company goes public, their shares can be converted into a large sum of money, enough to ensure their financial freedom for the rest of their lives.”

"However, I want to tell you that the shares you hold are closely related to the company's development. The better the company's business is, the more valuable your shares will be, and vice versa."

“We have just emerged victorious from the fierce competition among group-buying platforms, defeating Ele.me and capturing nearly 70% of the order volume in the food delivery sector.”

"This is indeed a remarkable achievement, but it's all in the past."

“From the moment we go public, all these achievements will have to be reset to zero. We need to have the courage and awareness to start all over again.”

"I don't believe that Pinhaofan was established overnight, but I didn't hear any reports before it was launched."

"I don't care about the reasons behind this; the marketing department's year-end performance evaluation has been lowered by one level."

As Wang Xing spoke, he looked at the senior executive in the marketing department.

Reducing the year-end bonus by one level is definitely a significant punishment.

However, for senior executives, this is not an unacceptable punishment. Moreover, the year is not over yet, and it may not be irreversible.

Therefore, upon hearing the punishment proposed by Wang Xing, the executive accepted it without hesitation.

"This is indeed a matter where my work was not done properly, and I will make corrections accordingly."

Upon hearing this answer, Wang Xing nodded and then said, "I think everyone is very clear about what the launch of Pinhaofan represents."

"Not to mention the various measures taken to ensure a good meal, it's clear they came prepared."

"They poached our top delivery riders by offering them social insurance and housing fund benefits, causing our overtime rate to soar to 13.4%."

"Not to mention, their 'treat us to a big meal' promotion attracted a large number of consumers, causing our order volume to plummet."

"As a result of the chain reaction, a large number of merchants have also joined the Pinhaofan platform."

"At this point, this has become a business war."

"We have only one goal: to keep winning."

"First, we need to stabilize our rider team and immediately launch an 'annuity plan' so that anyone who works on the platform for a year will receive an annuity."

"Secondly, the company's riders are prohibited from accepting orders from other platforms. If they are found to be doing so, they will be fined first, and if they are caught again, they will be dismissed immediately."

"Thirdly, for key merchants, we will impose a choice between two platforms: Pinhaofan and us. Merchants on both platforms will have their traffic restricted."

"Fourth, immediately contact the media to specifically search for and report on the issue of group-buying meals. The media marketing expenses should be reported as soon as possible to create a public opinion offensive and form a fixed impression in the minds of consumers."

"Find some more experts and have them discuss the dangers of high-welfare employment conditions. Don't be too cautious; be bolder."

"..."

Wang Xing said a lot in one breath. Logically speaking, as the founder of Huangtuan, he didn't need to do this at all.

After all, Huangtuan has grown into a behemoth in China, and the executives who are here are all quite capable.

However, Wang Xing did not delegate authority to his senior executives, and the reason is simple.

Pinhaofan is not like other companies.

Backed by the deep-pocketed Galaxy Technology, it has abundant funds.

Coupled with this incredibly lavish employee benefits, it poses a significant threat to platforms like Huangtuan that lack any technological sophistication.

That's why Wang Xing was so nervous and immediately took to the field himself.

The goal is to nip the trend of group-buying meals in the bud from the very beginning.

"Boss, is the annuity plan real, or not?"

At this moment, Wang Hui from Huangtuan spoke up and asked a question.

"Since Pinhaofan is giving its employees year-end bonuses, we can do the same."

“Shave another two cents off the delivery cost per order, and squeeze out the money to use as your annuity.”

"Let's adjust the algorithm a bit more. As long as the top rider completes 1,200 orders per month, they can get a high reward. We need to make full use of the precision of the machine algorithm to motivate the delivery riders."

"Order delivery time can be shortened a bit more. Since Pinhaofan wants to enter the food delivery industry, let's show them the cruelty of this industry."

"We want to ensure that the sweat shed by the riders is within our expectations."

Behind his gold-rimmed glasses, Wang Xing's eyes were cold and indifferent.

The coldness in his tone shocked the executives present.

In Wang Xing's words, the hundreds of thousands of food delivery riders are like worthless consumables, not worth taking seriously at all.

Squeeze out the last bit of profit and then discard it.

Even after working in the industry for so long, knowing that Wang Xing was an absolute elitist, many executives felt a chill run down their spines at that moment.

Could it be that Wang Xing holds the same views and opinions about these people?

Once it loses its value, it will be discarded.

Once the idea was born, it spread throughout everyone's minds.

……

the other side.

Hangcheng.

In the past two years, if it weren't for Galaxy Technology, Taotian Group would have been the most popular.

Jack Ma is undoubtedly a rising star of his time.

In his previous life, Jack Ma truly became a hot topic across the entire internet.

They frequently trend on social media, and their every move generates a huge amount of online discussion and attention.

However, due to the emergence of Galaxy Technology in this timeline, Jack Ma naturally lost the glory of his previous life.

The sheer size of the Taotian Group speaks for itself, and thanks to China's rapid economic growth, it has actually thrived even more.

Through acquisitions, Alibaba has built its business ecosystem.

Ele.me was acquired by Taotian Group under similar circumstances.

Originally, I thought that by partnering with Huangtuan, we could share the food delivery market, which would be a profitable business.

However, unexpectedly, at this moment, a group-buying restaurant suddenly appeared.

Alibaba Life Group closed-door meeting.

Li He, who was in charge, was currently roaring in the conference room.

"I don't want to hear any explanations. Explanations are just excuses, and excuses are a sign of incompetence."

"Now, I want to hear your strategies for dealing with people sharing meals?" After venting his anger, Li He calmed down and sat down.

The managers below could only grit their teeth, stand up, and explain the plans they had devised.

"According to our analysis, Pinhaofan is severely understaffed, and the fact that it was launched in major cities across the country all at once only highlights this problem."

"However, because Pinhaofan (拼好饭) offers relatively high wages and benefits to its riders, many riders have switched to the platform."

"At this rate, Pinhaofan should be able to recruit enough riders in at most a month, and the delivery capacity will be fully met."

"In addition, consumers and merchants may also switch sides because of the benefits offered by Pinhaofan."

"In response to the policy introduced by Pinhaofan, we have taken the following measures."

"If we can provide riders with social insurance and housing fund benefits, then we will launch the Ele.me Care Program."

As he spoke, a PowerPoint presentation appeared on the screen in the conference room.

“We deduct 100 yuan from each rider’s salary every month, plus the rider’s order completion bonus, and distribute it twice, all at the end of the year as a year-end bonus.”

"In addition, we can also increase some employee benefits, such as birthday bonuses for employees. We can issue a group consumption voucher, which is 300 off for purchases over 500, but we need to restrict the types of goods, such as medicines and health products."

“We can try more of these kinds of benefits, such as Tmall’s lucky bags, which can contain more cheap and affordable items, like food nearing its expiration date, socks for 9.9 yuan, or short-sleeved shirts for 19.9 yuan.”

"Finally, as a food delivery company, Pinhaofan currently uses our navigation, and I think we can start from this point."

With the updates to the PPT and the executive's explanation.

A well-developed set of countermeasures was thus created.

Upon hearing this answer, Li He's expression softened, and he nodded in agreement, saying, "Alright, I'll coordinate some of the resources involved."

"But I need to see if it works."

"Pinhaofan's entry into the market is not only an impact on Huangtuan, but also a major threat to us."

"If we can't hold onto the food delivery business, I believe everyone knows what the consequences will be. The group may be large, but we don't support idle people."

"Galaxy Technology has money, and Pinhaofan dares to spend money. We are not lacking either, and we can totally go all the way. I only care about market share and don't care how much money is spent."

As soon as Li He uttered those words, everyone present became serious and their hearts tightened.

indeed.

Taotian Group is a well-known large enterprise throughout the country.

But only those insiders know how fierce the competition is.

If the performance of subordinates declines and the problem is not resolved in a short period of time, superiors will assume that the subordinates have a problem with their abilities.

The next most likely solution is to replace the person directly. If replacing the person doesn't solve the problem, then the entire team will have to be replaced.

If this business becomes a burden, then it's even simpler: just cut the whole thing.

Taotian Group has diversified its business across multiple sectors, with an unknown number of businesses involved.

There's no shortage of talent, but a lack of patience.

They knew that Li He was telling the truth.

If Ele.me loses market share and cannot regain it, it means that the money invested in acquiring Ele.me has gone down the drain.

Every single one of them in management will probably be dismissed.

Therefore, they only have one choice: to maintain Ele.me's market share, which also means keeping their jobs.

soon.

Huangtuan and Ele.me took countermeasures against the entry of Pinhaofan.

Suddenly, the entire food delivery industry was once again engulfed in a money-spending war.

Some long-time customers immediately recalled the free meals and milk tea they got by taking advantage of deals during the group-buying wars of yesteryear.

Back then, a platform spending tens of millions of yuan a day was practically treating consumers across the country to many meals.

As smaller businesses were eliminated or acquired, and the market gradually stabilized, these subsidies ceased to exist.

And now, suddenly all of these have been restored.

It has caused countless netizens to go wild with joy.

"Thanks to Pinhaofan. If Pinhaofan hadn't joined in, Huangtuan wouldn't have been so generous."

"Indeed, in the past two years, Huangtuan's takeout coupons have become smaller and smaller, and takeout has become more and more expensive. I miss the days when there was a subsidy war, and I could eat milk tea and braised chicken until I was sick of them, and they were free."

"Back then, it was so great. You could just take a taxi anywhere, and it would only cost a few dollars for dozens of kilometers, like it was free. You could drink milk tea for a dime and eat braised chicken for a few dollars. It was absolutely amazing."

"If they hadn't pooled their resources to get involved, Huangtuan and Ele.me would never have done this. Those damn capitalists, their hearts are black."

"I'm grateful for Pinhaofan. I hope Pinhaofan can continue for a few more years, or even longer. Since Galaxy Technology is so profitable, I'll just consider it a form of social charity."

"Let's share this message: 'If we can make a meal together, we'll treat everyone in the country to milk tea!'"

"What exactly is Galaxy Technology trying to do? They're getting into express delivery, food delivery, and when are they going to get into ride-hailing?"

"Speaking of which, aren't you tempted by the salaries and benefits offered by Pinhaofan and Xinghuo Express? As far as I know, Xinghuo Express employees generally earn over 10,000 yuan after taxes. As for Pinhaofan's riders, although they haven't been working for a full month yet, a simple calculation shows that they can easily earn over 10,000 yuan."

"Who would deliver food or packages? It's too embarrassing!"

"What do you do for a living upstairs? Could you show me your personal income tax payment so I can see how much you earn a month? Why are you putting this up here?"

"Damn it, there are probably no more than five million people in the whole country who earn more than 10,000 yuan a month, let alone deliverymen and food deliverymen. Go and ask how much the deliverymen of STO Express, YTO Express, ZTO Express, and Yunda Express, and the food deliverymen of Huangtuan and Ele.me earn in a month. The monthly salary of Pinduoduo and Xinghuo Express is more than 10,000 yuan, which is almost double."

"Online, no one takes a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan seriously. But in real life, people would fight tooth and nail for it."

"Anyway, I hope Galaxy Technology will expand into more industries and improve the current employment environment and salary levels, which haven't increased for several years."

"I wish Galaxy Technology could set up a factory. I don't know how to do anything else besides screwing in screws. With Galaxy Technology's approach, it would definitely be much better than factories on the coast."

"Then I hope Galaxy Technology can run a supermarket, just like Donglai Pang in Henan Province."

"Wow, everyone's starting to dream and make wishes."

"You guys are just talking big, I've really come to Tangdu City. Tangdu City is full of opportunities now. As long as you want to make money and aren't afraid of hardship or fatigue, you won't have to worry about not having a job."

"Exactly, Xinghuo Express and Pinhaofan are still hiring on a large scale, so why don't you guys apply for those jobs? All you do is talk nonsense online."

"A friendly reminder to everyone: good jobs don't wait for anyone. Once they've filled their quota, there won't be another chance to get on board. You all know how difficult it is to get into Galaxy Technology right now."

"Stop talking, I'll send my resume to Xinghuo Express right away!"

"The people upstairs have gone crazy from reading too much. They even have to submit resumes to deliver packages. They should just go to the delivery station and ask if they need anyone. If not, they can just go to another station."

"Don't look down on delivery drivers and food delivery workers. They may not be considered respectable, but they earn more than many white-collar workers. Have you noticed that many delivery drivers use the latest mobile phones?"

The internet became incredibly lively in an instant. (End of Chapter)
