Start telling crosstalk from Tingyunxuan

"Mr. Wang of Meituan and Mr. Shao of FlashEx have reached a secret agreement."

"When Mr. Wang of Meituan and Mr. Shao of FlashEx had dinner together, they had a very pleasant conversation."

"Meituan and FlashEx will reach a further cooperation agreement."

"DouShou Group will launch a food delivery service to benefit those who struggle with cooking."

Dozens of trending news articles are all about Flash Delivery.

This made the Flash Delivery service known to netizens across the country in no time.

Meanwhile, a food delivery service has also been added to the Douyin app.

The food delivery service on Douyin can be divided into two parts.

One way is to place an order directly on Douyin (TikTok), and the other is to place an order on the Flash Delivery app.

Regardless of the method, users have discovered a surprising fact.

That means that takeout that used to cost 20 or 30 yuan now only costs a dozen yuan.

A cup of milk tea that used to cost ten or twenty yuan can now be had for just a few yuan.

They all thought it must be fake!
But after they placed an order and the merchant accepted and delivered it, all the users went crazy.

In just one week, Flash Delivery's user downloads surpassed those of Ememe and Meituan.

The only regret is that Flash Delivery's merchant list isn't as comprehensive as Eleme and Meituan.

However, FlashEx is also vigorously expanding its market and attracting more merchants to join.

At Meituan's headquarters, Wang Xing was so angry that he was smashing things.

When did he reach a cooperation agreement with Flash Delivery?

His biggest regret now is having that meal with Shao Mingyuan from Flash Delivery.

They're not eating food, they're eating their own users and money!
Seeing Wang Xing's anger, the assistant couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Wang, what should we do next?"

Wang Xing gritted his teeth and said, "What else can we do but wage a price war with FlashEx?"

With FlashEx launching its 10 billion yuan subsidy program, the other two companies had no choice but to also drastically reduce their food delivery prices.

After seeing both parties and learning that they had started offering takeout discounts, Yang Yunsheng had another idea.

He immediately made a phone call to Shao Mingyuan.

"Mingyuan, how's Flash Delivery going these days?"

Shao Mingyuan is not the same person he was a little over a week ago, when he looked somewhat dejected.

He said, "Mr. Yang, Flash Delivery is currently able to hold its own against the other two major platforms thanks to Douyin and its own platform users. However, there is still one problem that has not been resolved. When we communicate with these merchants, they are always worried that if they join our Flash Delivery platform, Meituan and Eleme will not allow them to join."

Upon hearing this, Yang Yunsheng smiled knowingly.

"Actually, this problem is very easy to solve!"

"Easy to solve?"

Shao Mingyuan and his men have been trying to figure out a solution, but they don't know how.

Now Yang Yunsheng said, "It's easy to solve."

Is it really that easy to solve?
After a moment's hesitation, Shao Mingyuan asked, "Mr. Yang, what is the solution?"

Yang Yunsheng didn't keep anyone in suspense; this was his own company, and resolving the issue sooner would allow it to get back on track sooner.

Yang Yunsheng then said, "The solution is to spread rumors, even making it a trending topic on Douyin and Weibo, saying that some merchants said that after joining Flash Delivery, Meituan wouldn't let them join anymore." "Huh?"

Shao Mingyuan was greatly surprised when he heard this.

Is that even true?
He quickly realized that something was wrong.

He suddenly laughed and said, "Does Mr. Yang mean that we put pressure on Meituan?"

Yang Yunsheng replied, "That's right, it's putting pressure on Meituan. Public opinion will force Meituan to come out and explain, and we'll be able to resolve the merchants' concerns effortlessly. More importantly, they won't dare not explain, otherwise they'll be disrupting the market."

We live in the internet age, and with the rise of handshaking, there are many things you simply don't know, unlike before.

From the moment the app "Shake" rose to prominence, many shocking news stories emerged.

These news stories also marked the beginning of public opinion.

No one can withstand the attacks of public opinion.

Especially for a company, if public opinion sweeps through, the final result will be a sharp drop in stock price, which may wipe out billions or even hundreds of billions of yuan. This is no joke.

Of course, if it's the above, you can simply turn off comments.

Shao Mingyuan said, "Don't worry, Mr. Yang, I'll spread the word right away. But once Mr. Wang from Meituan finds out about this, he'll probably hold a grudge against us."

Should you hold a grudge?

Yang Yunsheng didn't care at all. The most sophisticated business battles are often invisible and begin with various rumors.

Seeing that Yang Yunsheng didn't seem to be hanging up, Shao Mingyuan asked, "Mr. Yang, is there anything else you need me to do?"

Yang Yunsheng and Shao Mingyuan talked for so long that they almost forgot the most important thing.

He then said, "Of course, what I'm about to say is extremely important, and you must carry it out seriously. That is, you must purchase social insurance and housing fund for all the riders under our Flash Delivery service to ensure they have no worries while delivering food."

"what?"

Shao Mingyuan held the phone, his face filled with shock.

Because of the billions in subsidies, they're already burning through cash like crazy.

However, if you implement this so-called "five insurances and one fund" scheme, it's unclear how long it will take to recoup your investment in the initial stages.

It's important to know that Flash Delivery has already spread across the entire country, with at least tens of thousands of riders.

If all riders were to receive the five social insurances and one housing fund, then FlashEx would become the first platform to do so, which would offend the other two platforms, who don't seem to care about the fate of their riders.

Yang Yunsheng said calmly, "Just do as I say. Don't be afraid to spend money. We're in the promotion phase now, and we'll make back every penny. And even if we don't, it doesn't matter. We're running a conscientious business, not thinking about petty profits."

Although Shao Mingyuan was unwilling, he would still carry out Yang Yunsheng's orders properly.

The moment Flash Delivery released the rumor, both Meituan and Eleme Food quickly responded.

They knew perfectly well that this was an open conspiracy, but they still had to issue a statement to acknowledge it.

After joining Flash Delivery, you can continue to join Eleme and Meituan platforms.

After the announcement, many merchants who had been waiting and watching relaxed a lot and started to join FlashEx.

But then, Flash Delivery made another big announcement: it would provide all its delivery riders with the five social insurances and one housing fund, which caused an uproar among netizens across the country.

The people from both sides, Emei and Meilegetuan, stared wide-eyed.

This express delivery service is insane!

Do all delivery riders know how much it would cost to provide them with the five social insurances and one housing fund? (End of Chapter)
