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

The impact of "Life Against the Grain" continues to unfold after its release.

In 2018, food delivery became popular not only in big cities, but even in small counties, deliverymen started to operate food delivery services.

It's safe to say that most people have seen and interacted with food delivery riders in their daily lives.

Therefore, the impact of this film after its release was no less than that of "Dying to Survive," and perhaps even greater.

The drugs and illnesses depicted in "Dying to Survive" are rare examples in real life.

However, food delivery is something most people encounter, and its scope is much wider.

In addition, the Chinese people have always abhorred the rich for being heartless.

Upon seeing the actions of the food delivery companies depicted in the movie, a large number of messages spontaneously boycotting the two companies immediately emerged.

A large number of food delivery riders and former food delivery riders also took this opportunity to speak out and complain about the platform's practices on various online platforms, while also trying to gain some traffic.

Although many posts are either downgraded or deleted by the review process as soon as they appear.

Even the fastest review and deletion process can't stop the continuous appearance of posts.

With so many accounts being banned, netizens have come to understand the attitude of online media platforms.

As a result, many people have moved to the media platforms under Galaxy Technology.

The reason why this happens on other platforms is also very simple.

That means the relevant companies are putting in the effort.

They either throw money at it, or they already own shares in the online platform, so suppressing the hype is easy for them.

Only Douyin didn't take this money, so it can retain these criticisms and questions.

It has to be said that the inhumane practices of food delivery platforms over the years have indeed angered many netizens.

Riding this wave of popularity, a video of a food delivery rider holding his ID card, wearing the food delivery platform's uniform, standing in front of his electric scooter, and denouncing his own company went viral immediately after it was released.

"Hello everyone, my name is Zhou Yuanzhi, I come from Shangluoshan District in Shaanxi Province. This is my ID card. I am currently working as a food delivery rider."

"As for which company it is, everyone can tell just by looking at this outfit."

"Today, I am going to formally accuse the company of its practices on the Douyin platform, in front of the entire internet."

"First of all, I want to say that a lot of negative information about food delivery companies online is true. For example, they fine you if you deliver food early or late, force you to work in bad weather, force you to take orders, and don't sign labor contracts with us."

"These are not fabrications; they are all true."

"I'm here to tell you all how food delivery companies exploit legal loopholes and how they exploit and deceive us poor delivery riders."

"First of all, food delivery companies will package the so-called delivery service and give it to agents. In this way, from a legal point of view, the delivery service has been outsourced and has little to do with the food delivery company."

"The agents who provide delivery services are unwilling to sign labor contracts with us. As far as I know, none of the 25 delivery riders at our station have signed labor contracts."

“Although other stations have signed labor contracts with their delivery riders, without exception, the money is withheld and not given to the riders.”

"Many people may think that being a food delivery rider is a freelance job, where you can work whenever you want and rest whenever you want, but that's wrong."

“We don’t have holidays, and the company doesn’t allow us to take leave. Our working hours are not just eight hours, ten hours, twelve hours is also the norm.”

"When delivering food, there is a delivery time, which is estimated by the platform's algorithm system. It includes the merchant's food preparation time and our delivery time. No matter how long it takes the merchant to prepare the food, if it is overtime, we will be charged."

"To avoid being late, many of our colleagues mark the delivery date as 'delivered' when it's almost time, which is something the company doesn't allow."

"In many cases, in order to deliver on time, we have to do some risky things to ensure that we don't exceed the time limit."

"If an accident occurs, it will not only delay our ability to take orders and make money, but we will also have to bear the losses ourselves because we do not have commercial insurance."

"Even if I wanted to file for workers' compensation, I don't have an employment contract."

"There's another trick. When I was applying for the job, they first told me about the benefits that food delivery riders enjoy, how easy the job is, and that I can do it whenever I want and rest when I'm tired. But it was all a lie."

"To deliver food, you definitely need an electric scooter. The company and stations don't provide these; they tell us to prepare them ourselves."

“If I don’t have one, I can rent a car at the company’s site. I suspect there’s some kind of business deal involved, making money off their own employees while saving on the company’s operating costs.”

"If you rent a car, the rental fee is 500 yuan per month, which will be deducted directly from your salary."

"As for our salary, they talked a lot of nonsense during the job interview, but it was all just word games."

"But you only find out about these things after you join the company. You either continue working or you quit. Anyway, the station is always hiring and there is no shortage of riders."

"Now that I've talked about a bunch of the shortcomings of food delivery companies, let me tell you about their advantages."

"That means that although this job is hard, as long as you don't treat yourself like a human being and work like a beast of burden, you can still earn a lot of money."

"After spending the first two months familiarizing yourself with the terrain, you can start taking on orders like crazy. With time and experience, earning over 10,000 yuan a month shouldn't be a problem."

"Of course, those who earn over 10,000 yuan are only a very small minority."

"Because the number of orders in a region is relatively constant, if you take on more orders, others will take on fewer."

"At the same time, we will also raise the company's performance evaluation standards."

"In the past, you only needed to deliver 300 orders a month, but gradually the assessment standard changed from 300 orders to 400 orders, and then to 450 orders."

"If you're good at math, you can calculate how many orders we need to process in a day."

"In the ideal situation, each order only takes half an hour. How long would it take us to complete 450 orders in a month?"

“I have another question. I’m wearing the uniform of a food delivery company, but the company I signed with is another one. As an outsourced employee, I can understand that.”

"But we are also employees who put in the work. Why should we have a day's wages deducted just because of a bad review from a customer? Is that reasonable?"

"Finally, I would like to remind all netizens on the internet of something: take a look at the restaurants you usually order takeout from, and visit their shops, because many of them are dedicated takeout shops that only do takeout and do not offer dine-in service."

"I won't go into detail about the quality of the kitchens of these food delivery vendors. You can search online and go to see for yourselves whether they are the same as the restaurants advertised on the platform."

"Everything I have said is true. If any falsehoods are found to be true, I am willing to bear all the consequences."

The moment this video was released, it flooded the traffic pool.

You can see this as long as you enter the Douyin platform and browse through any two videos.

Unsurprisingly, the video went viral instantly.

The number of comments was growing every second, exceeding one million in a very short time, with over five million reposts and over ten million likes.

The release of "Life Against the Grain" already pointed the finger at two real-world food delivery companies.

Now, a former food delivery rider has come forward to file a formal complaint.

The problems exposed by Zhou Yuanzhi instantly ignited countless consumers' concerns about food safety on food delivery platforms. "Is the takeout we order made by those hole-in-the-wall restaurants? There's absolutely no food safety!"

Once this concern arose, consumers subconsciously thought of these things when ordering takeout.

Tangdu City acted swiftly; as soon as the video went viral, relevant authorities immediately conducted a food safety inspection.

Dozens of fly-in-the-wall restaurants and small eateries with problems were uncovered in one go.

Furthermore, a response was given based on Zhou Yuanzhi's report.

In the afternoon.

Tangdu City issued fines and imposed business suspension and rectification penalties on local food delivery companies.

It wasn't just in Tangdu City; other cities in Qin Province followed suit.

at the same time.

The business of group-buying meals is also growing rapidly.

Pinhaofan has provided solutions to these problems that have been exposed online.

Consumers are worried that restaurants might be small and have substandard hygiene. By connecting directly to the restaurant's kitchen monitoring system on the platform, consumers can see the kitchen conditions in real time.

Even the delivery boxes are sealed to ensure they won't be opened midway, with the cost borne by Pinhaofan.

As for the treatment of delivery riders, with Galaxy Technology's brand backing them up, the riders have nothing to worry about.

This series of actions directly led to a rapid increase in the market share of Pinhaofan.

……

the other side.

Tianjin has also investigated and clarified Xu Zhibin's car accident.

A local gang leader, who controlled the local logistics business, wanted to enter the Xinghuo Express market. After being rejected, he felt resentful that Xinghuo Express had taken away his business and decided to teach Xinghuo Express a lesson.

And so, this car accident occurred.

After the situation was investigated, the suspects were immediately arrested and brought to justice.

Xu Zhibin, who was still in the hospital, and Wang Donglai, who was in Tangdu City, also received the news.

Xu Zhibin did not feel relieved after learning the truth.

Instead, I gained a deeper understanding of my own situation.

This is just competition within the express delivery industry, and some people are already so arrogant that they run people over with their cars.

If we wait until the price war intensifies further, the methods will likely become even more ruthless.

"What are your thoughts on the next Spark Express delivery?"

"If you feel it's dangerous, I can transfer you back to the group to take charge of other businesses."

Wang Donglai spoke earnestly to Xu Zhibin.

Xu Zhibin laughed heartily and said, "Regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with STO Express, YTO Express, ZTO Express, and Yunda Express, the price war must continue. They have only followed our price reduction strategy so far, but have not yet improved their employees' compensation. It seems that the pressure we have put on them is not enough."

"But that doesn't matter. When we get more orders and poach more experienced deliverymen and other employees, they will change their ways sooner or later."

"By then, they may have already been eliminated by the market."

"We shouldn't keep focusing on them, but on ourselves."

"Our goal is to improve the level of express delivery services; that's our original intention, not to seize the market for the sake of seizing the market."

“Price wars and competition with them have always been a means, not an end.”

"Spark Express has developed so rapidly that many of its structures need to be optimized. Expansion is easy, but whether we can improve efficiency and service levels depends on our capabilities."

"Next, I will shift some of my focus to this to ensure that no problems arise."

Xu Zhibin briefly introduced his ideas.

Wang Donglai nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, I'm relieved that you thought of that."

"Whether it's Xinghuo Express or Pinhaofan, our goal is to improve service levels, raise industry standards, bring a better experience to consumers, and provide higher salaries and benefits to employees. It's a win-win situation for all parties."

"It has never been about squeezing out others, maliciously seizing the market, or using low prices to attack competitors."

“If they can all keep up with our measures, I won’t go into these industries.”

"These industry giants, with market values ​​of tens or hundreds of billions and personal wealth exceeding hundreds of millions, do not want to take on even the slightest social responsibility. Their behavior and greed are truly appalling."

"They don't want to be dignified, so we'll help them be dignified!"

"If necessary, the price per express delivery can be lowered, even to one yuan. We need to hurt them so they will know to change."

"I'll set a goal for you: capture half of the national express delivery business. Once we occupy half the market share, our approach will become the industry standard, and they won't be able to avoid following suit. This is an open strategy!"

"Finally, here's a little tidbit for you: Yu Jiao privately mentioned the idea of ​​a car accident to hinder the development of Xinghuo Express. Although he didn't actually carry it out, I don't like him. Whatever you want to do, I'll support you!"

"However, can we only use overt business methods and not underhanded ones?"

Upon hearing the secret Wang Donglai revealed at the end, Xu Zhibin's breathing instantly became heavier.

Yu Jiao!

Xu Zhibin repeated this name in his mind many times.

Although the car accident had nothing to do with Yu Jiao, we can't let him off easily just because he said those words behind our backs.

They were competitors to begin with, and their relationship was strained.

Now that this past conflict has resurfaced, Xu Zhibin naturally won't soften his stance.

Coincidentally, Xinghuo Express is set to occupy half of the express delivery market share; there are simply too many express delivery companies now.

Some courier companies will definitely be eliminated, so let's just start with Yu Jiao.

"Donglai, don't worry, I know what to do!"

"I'm going to crush his courier company fair and square and make him taste the bitterness of bankruptcy!"

Xu Zhibin spoke confidently to Wang Dong. (End of Chapter)
