Start telling crosstalk from Tingyunxuan

After Yang Yunsheng arrived at Flash Delivery, he stayed at Shao Mingyuan's place for almost two hours before returning.

Shao Mingyuan was not surprised to see Yang Yunsheng in his office.

He already knew that Yang Yunsheng had come to Shanghai to participate in the competition.

There was something that he found very strange.

To be precise, I don't understand.

Yang Yunsheng is so rich, yet he still went to participate in a comedy competition like this.

Even if he were to sponsor this competition, or spend money to organize one, it would be more than enough for him.

I don't know why, but he even went to perform crosstalk himself.

What do you call this? Are they just bored and have nothing better to do?

They didn't understand Yang Yunsheng's hobby—no, mainly his other job.

I started learning crosstalk at the age of ten, and I have persisted in this intangible cultural heritage regardless of the cold winter or the hot summer.

While it must be admitted that Deyun Society popularized crosstalk.

But do these crosstalk performers have no credit at all?
That's impossible!

It is through the joint efforts of many crosstalk performers that Deyun Society has achieved its current status.

Of course, this is not to deny the contributions of Deyun Society, but everyone should be empathetic and not erase the contributions of others.

Looking at the latest financial statement, Yang Yunsheng said, "However, the current financial statements show that the numbers are still rising, which means that our food delivery service has been recognized by everyone. It's just that we haven't achieved our desired results in terms of merchant stores."

Besides the delivery fee mentioned earlier, another issue is the limited number of merchant shops.

Although the marketing department has been actively expanding its reach, the results are still not very good.

This doesn't mean that the other two major food delivery platforms are making things difficult for them.

For some businesses, a single platform is sufficient for preparing ingredients.

At most, their food delivery share would be absorbed by another platform.

Although FlashEx is very active, it entered the market rather late.

However, it's not that FlashEx has no market; there's still a lot of room for market development.

Shao Mingyuan then spoke up: "President Yang, although our lunch and dinner share can barely catch up with the other two companies, not many people order Flash Delivery in the morning. My team and I have discussed this for a long time, but we haven't come up with a good solution. President Yang, I wonder how you think we should close the gap between us and the other two major platforms in this area?"

In fact, Yang Yunsheng had already thought about this.

Shao Mingyuan asked because he knew that Yang Yunsheng had a constant stream of new ideas.

Every idea he throws out can benefit others for a lifetime.

Yang Yunsheng said, "There is indeed a way, and it's a very simple one."

Shao Mingyuan became interested, even a little impatient.

"Mr. Yang, what method is this?"

Yang Yunsheng smiled slightly and revealed his open scheme.

"Give them away for free!"

Shao Mingyuan understood each of the three words, and even recognized each of them individually, but he was puzzled when they were put together.

The current battle among the three major food delivery giants has made it possible for many ordinary people to enjoy cheap and clean takeout.

If we continue offering freebies now, will we still be able to make money in the future?
After all, besides benefiting the people, the most important thing about starting a business is making money.

That's right, making money is the top priority.

Other factors, such as service and delivery time, are secondary. If someone says that service and delivery time are the most important things, and making money is secondary, that person is definitely bragging. If you believe them, you've already lost.

Shao Mingyuan said, "President Yang, our current 10 billion yuan subsidy is already a heavy burden for us. We would be a little embarrassed to ask you for more money."

Yang Yunsheng chuckled, "Shao Mingyuan's wishful thinking."

Since its inception, Flash Delivery has cost billions of yuan.

Even after several months, they still haven't broken even.

Yang Yunsheng isn't stupid enough to spend money on a completely free shopping promotion.

Yang Yunsheng then said, "You misunderstood me. The free meal I'm talking about isn't the kind you're thinking of. We're just using the free meal as a gimmick to let the audience win a free meal. And our free meals are limited in number. For example, a thousand slots per day, or we can increase the number of slots when appropriate!"

Shao Mingyuan understood instantly; no wonder he's now the boss!

This approach aims to encourage them to use Flash Delivery more frequently.

If someone gets a free meal, then more people will feel that they can also get a free meal.

When that time comes, more and more people will use Flash Delivery for food delivery.

To be precise, even someone with terrible luck in life thinks they can become a lucky person.

In addition, FlashEx has done a very good job in the area of ​​cheap food delivery.

If they continue offering free orders, the other two major platforms simply won't be able to compete.

Yang Yunsheng also reminded us, "By the way, this plan to offer free meals must be kept highly confidential. If it leaks out and someone else gets there first, it will be very disadvantageous for us. As long as we take the first step, even if it's just one day ahead, we can gain an absolute advantage."

At that moment, Yang Yunsheng thought of something else.

"You should communicate with Lao Yu in advance and ask him to create momentum for you so that the free delivery event can dominate Weibo and Douyin as soon as possible."

Shao Mingyuan said, "I understand. I'll go and call a meeting right away to get this matter settled!"

"and many more!"

When Yang Yunsheng shouted "wait," he was not referring to waiting for the light.

Shao Mingyuan turned around and looked at Yang Yunsheng with a hint of doubt.

"Mr. Yang, is there anything else?"

Yang Yunsheng said, "Although Flash Delivery is cheap, we must ensure cleanliness. Our marketing staff should supervise the merchants when promoting it. In addition, merchants need to take photos of their shops before they can be added to our delivery system."

Yang Yunsheng took this matter very seriously.

Because Meituan doesn't pay much attention to food safety.

The cheap takeout options they offered, such as "Pinhaofan," led to a continuous decline in their reputation.

There were even reports of food poisoning incidents caused by people sharing meals.

In fact, no one is sure whether Pinhaofan will be able to secure a spot in the middle of the pack.

The reason why Pinhaofan can be so cheap is that the shops under its jurisdiction may not even exist, or even if they do, they are dirty and chaotic.

Yang Yunsheng's initial motivation for starting a food delivery business, besides making money, was genuinely to enable people to enjoy affordable and clean takeout.

Even though doing so would reduce the number of merchants joining the platform, Yang Yunsheng has no regrets.

To be precise, it's too late to regret it after something goes wrong.

Therefore, never be preoccupied with short-term gains.

To run a business is to build a century-old enterprise. (End of Chapter)
