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

No one expected that Galaxy Technology would become such a large company.

Using film as a medium, they directly attacked the Huang Gang.

As the seventh art form, the world's language, film has an enormous influence.

The shock caused by the previous film "Dying to Survive" is still fresh in everyone's memory.

This story is based on a real event. After the movie was released, it immediately caught the attention of the highest levels of government, and there was countless discussions among people across the country.

Even now, screenshots of the movie's plot can still be seen from time to time on various platforms.

Many people believe that "Life Against the Grain" is exactly the same movie as "Dying to Survive".

Although the film doesn't directly address the issue of pharmaceuticals that everyone is concerned about, the impact on the countless food delivery riders on the streets, the massive scale of employment, and the families behind them is by no means small.

Meanwhile, as the most popular short video platform in China, Douyin has over one billion registered users and over seven hundred million active users.

The marketing campaign launched by Douyin, promising to invite people across the country to watch a movie, has further boosted Douyin's popularity.

Therefore, the release of "Life Against the Grain" attracted more than 50 million viewers in the shortest possible time.

This is unprecedented in film history.

After all, even if all the cinemas in the country were combined, they probably couldn't accommodate that many people watching a movie at the same time.

After the movie ended, it's no exaggeration to say that all major internet platforms in China went viral.

Even in private, many people started discussing it.

The plot of the movie is bold and original.

This has never happened before in movies and TV series.

Especially in recent years, they simply don't dare to put current social pain points into film and television dramas.

In "Life Against the Grain," there are stories of power struggles among listed company executives, the replacement of 35-year-old programmers with younger, more capable ones, and the evil deeds of algorithms that exploit the plight of food delivery riders within the cage of algorithms...

Many working people saw themselves reflected in this, and even college students who were still in school couldn't help but feel a sense of unease about being laid off at the age of 35 after working hard in 996 or 007.

Almost everyone knows that this movie is referring to the Yellow Group, because the Yellow Group has the largest market share and is not human.

Hangcheng.

Before "Life Against the Grain" was even halfway through its run, Jack Ma received a report from his subordinates and learned about the matter.

At this point, Jack Ma didn't take it too seriously.

I thought Wang Donglai was trying to expand his meal-sharing business by using movies as advertising to promote his business.

Jack Ma even wondered to himself if this was the experience Wang Donglai had learned from him.

After all, last year, Jack Ma invited famous kung fu stars from home and abroad to film a short drama with him, fulfilling his kung fu dream (and showing off)!

To be honest, it really feels great.

Jack Ma didn't take "Life Against the Grain" seriously. He simply made a note and told his staff to pay attention to its impact. If it was profitable, they could try the same marketing approach.

However, as the movie plot unfolds and the evil deeds of the food delivery platform are gradually revealed, Jack Ma realizes how serious his mistake was.

"boom!"

Jack Ma slammed his hand hard on the desk, making a sharp sound.

He never expected that the movie Galaxy Tech was going to pull this stunt.

Although he could also tell that this was mainly aimed at Huang Tuan Wang Xing.

However, he understood that Ele.me wasn't much better than Huangtuan.

Most of the problems with Huangtuan are also present on Eleme, just to varying degrees.

Therefore, after the movie is released and its influence spreads, it will inevitably affect the development of Ele.me.

Thinking of this, Jack Ma immediately picked up his phone, ready to dial Wang Donglai's number.

However, when Jack Ma held the phone in his hand and looked at Wang Donglai's phone number on the screen, he hesitated.

It wasn't that Jack was afraid of Wang Donglai, but rather that Jack was thinking that since the deed was already done, even if he called Wang Donglai, it probably wouldn't make much of a difference.

Furthermore, she had previously agreed to Wang Donglai's request to help promote "Life Against the Grain".

If he had known the movie would turn out like this, he would never have agreed.

But now, even after I've helped them, they're calling to cause trouble.

That's the biggest loss.

I helped, but I didn't get any credit in return.

After sitting down again, Jack Ma began to carefully examine the data report on the food delivery market.

Before Pinhaofan entered the food delivery market, 99% of the market share was held by two companies.

Yellow dumplings accounted for 70%, while Ele.me accounted for 30%.

Even after Pinhaofan entered the market and Huangtuan's market share slightly decreased, it is still the absolute leader in the food delivery market.

Looking at the market share of each company, Jack Ma gave a wry smile.

He figured it out!
Wang Donglai was well aware that the release of this film would cause him displeasure.

However, Ele.me's market share is too small, and even if it declines, there isn't much room for further decline.

In other words, Jack Ma will suffer losses, but they may not be significant.

"Life Against the Grain" mainly focuses on Huang Tuan.

At this point, the situation is quite clear.

The yellow group, which occupies the majority of the market share, should be furious, not you.

Even on its own, it can make up for the losses in the food delivery sector by cooperating with Galaxy Technology in other fields.

This is probably one of the reasons why Wang Donglai asked him to help with media publicity.

Thinking of this, Jack Ma's feelings became complicated, and he silently sighed, "Young people don't have any martial ethics!"

And on the other side.

The Yellow Army headquarters in Beijing was truly shrouded in gloom, with everyone's faces tense and strained.

They couldn't possibly miss the overwhelming amount of negative information about their company online.

Many of them even watched the movie on the Douyin platform as soon as it was released.

Putting aside everything else, they are well aware of the realities of the film's plot.

There was no fabrication or exaggeration.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as overly cautious.

After all, the movie has a limited runtime, and there are many things that are not shown.

The huge headquarters became extremely quiet at this moment, for fear that raising their voices would attract the attention of the leaders.

At this moment, however, the leadership is divided in their sentiments. The cards are now in the table.

"Life Against the Tide" is a project invested in by Galaxy Entertainment. From its inception to its release, Galaxy Technology was solely responsible for the entire process.

It was released on the Douyin video platform, coupled with the launch of the Pinhaofan (拼好饭) service.

This is clearly an offensive launched by Galaxy Technology against them.

A high-tech giant with a market value of trillions has actually ventured into the food delivery business.

This is completely unreasonable.

When the meal-sharing service was launched, they couldn't understand why Galaxy Technology seemed to have some serious problem.

Food delivery and logistics require heavy asset investment, and the money earned is essentially hard-earned.

If Galaxy Technology, like other high-tech companies, had high R&D investment, high risks, and only average returns, then switching industries would be understandable.

However, Galaxy Technology has extremely strong R&D capabilities and holds multiple hard-to-market products such as Evergreen Liquid, Beauty Water, and Xuanwu Battery, making huge profits in both domestic and international markets.

Galaxy Technology is not a publicly listed company, but it voluntarily publishes its financial reports every year.

Many people can analyze how terrifying Galaxy Technology's profit margin is by looking at its financial reports.

If those excessive benefits were eliminated, the profit margin could be increased by at least another ten percentage points.

This high-tech giant, which makes money hand over fist, has turned its attention to the food delivery market.

Let alone the senior executives of Huangtuan, the vast majority of people can't understand it.

Even those who knew Wang Donglai's thoughts didn't believe it was a valid reason.

It's impossible for Huangtuan's executives not to be alarmed by the entry of such a formidable competitor as Galaxy Technology.

Because they know that the barriers to entry in this industry seem very high, and you simply can't make a living with less than several billion.

After all, not everyone can afford to spend 20 billion within ten years.

But Galaxy Technology is different; Galaxy Technology is too rich.

Furthermore, Wang Donglai truly doesn't value money; he offers such generous benefits to ordinary employees that it's simply inhuman.

Once the food is ready, the company provides the delivery riders with social insurance and housing fund contributions, commercial insurance, reimbursement for health certificate processing fees, uniforms and insulated boxes, and subsidies for high temperatures, low temperatures, and severe weather.

Huang Tuan didn't have any of these things!

What's worse is that Galaxy Technology offers a higher base salary than Huangtuan, and doesn't have such strict rules about deducting money for bad reviews.

Even with fewer orders, the delivery fee is higher than that offered by Huangtuan.

Huangtuan has already calculated that Galaxy Technology pays its riders a higher delivery fee percentage than they do, generally about 10% more.

As for merchants, Pinhaofan does not force them to choose between two platforms, and its service fees are much lower than those of other platforms.

It does not require merchants to engage in fraudulent activities such as placing fake orders or generating fake positive reviews to make money.

It's fair to say that if we disregard Huang Tuan's status as a senior executive and consider them as small restaurant owners, they would choose Pinhaofan even with their eyes closed.

However, since they are not small restaurant owners but competitors, the situation is different.

now.

The atmosphere in the conference room was extremely quiet.

Faced with Galaxy Technology's move, everyone was furious but also genuinely unsure how to respond.

After a long silence, Wang Xing finally spoke up: "Everyone, speak up. You all know the current situation. What are your thoughts?"

Hearing Wang Xing say this, Wang Wencai said, "It's obvious that Galaxy Technology is preparing to make a strong push in the food delivery sector. They're likely to invest even more money in the future, so our first priority is to prepare sufficient funds to cope with the upcoming competition."

"Secondly, we need to find a way to eliminate the negative impact of this movie. If we allow it to spread and spread on Douyin, it will inevitably damage the company's reputation and affect its business."

"Secondly, regarding the riders, I think it's appropriate to improve their compensation. This would not only be a response to external criticisms but also reassure the riders and prevent a decline in the quality of delivery services due to a rapid turnover of riders."

"Finally, at the merchant level, the large number of merchants on the platform are our core assets, so we need to ensure their existence. I suggest signing long-term service contracts with merchants to bind them. If Pinhaofan develops too fast, we can also use the 'either/or' option to cut off Pinhaofan's development."

Wang Wen, as the co-founder of Huangtuan, is also a long-time follower of Wang Xing.

Therefore, he had an extremely thorough understanding of Wang Xing's thoughts.

Given what happened, Wang Xing might not actually be as nervous as others might think.

Throughout Wang Xing's entrepreneurial career, he has failed multiple times.

But he always manages to get back up after a failure and never gets discouraged.

Over the course of ten years, Huangtuan invested more than 20 billion yuan in venture capital firms, defeating dozens of domestic competitors to become the first listed company in the industry.

This success is not only due to the support of venture capitalists who are continuously investing money, but also to Wang Xing's exceptional abilities.

After Wang Wen spoke first, everyone else followed suit and expressed their opinions.

"I think it's feasible to directly complain to the relevant authorities about this movie, as its content is misleading!"

"We can use some of the plot design in this movie to push for its removal from circulation and avoid causing more negative impact."

"Galaxy Technology's actions completely violated the rules, and they must be taught a lesson!"

"It's Xinghuo Express again, and Pinhaofan again. Is Galaxy Technology still a high-tech giant? Just because it has money, it recklessly breaks industry rules. It's simply a troublemaker!"

Many of the senior executives in the conference room spoke up.

Some people criticized Galaxy Technology, while others came up with wicked ideas.

Wang Xing listened to everyone's words, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he nodded.

Actually, there was no need for a meeting at all; he could have made the decision on his own.

But he still held the meeting.

I just wanted to see everyone's reaction.

Fortunately, the reactions of the crowd did not disappoint him.

"Alright, let's do as Wang Wen says. As I've said before, going public isn't the main point, but rather the beginning of another journey."

"The food delivery sector has great potential. We've worked hard and paid a huge price to become number one in the industry, and we've only just gone public. If we lose market share now, I think everyone knows what the investors will do."

"This is a war, not for myself, but for everyone's own benefit."

"I need everyone to bring out the same attitude they had when competing in the market back then, and to go all out and fight with all their might."

"Next, all employees will work an extra hour overtime. Please pass this notice down."

"When we can stabilize our market share at 70% by continuing to promote Pinhaofan, then we can call it a day."

"All departments must cooperate well. At this time, anyone who drags their feet should not blame me for being ruthless."

As Wang Xing spoke, his expression turned serious, and his gaze swept across the faces of the crowd.

Hearing Wang Xing's serious tone, everyone tensed up and immediately nodded in agreement. (End of Chapter)
