Chapter 100 Press Conference

A week later, Xia Ye received her first private tutoring income - 3600 yuan.

When Lin Yuan was meditating in front of the laptop screen, a voice suddenly came from the air, "1800 yuan has been transferred to my account via WeChat."

Lin Yuan was stunned for a long time, because he had never had such an experience before.

After picking up his phone and looking at it, he remembered the joke he had made with Xia Ye - to give him half of the money after making it.

Unexpectedly, this girl still kept it in mind.

You say she is stupid, but she is not stupid at this time.

Soon, Xia Ye called.

"I will support you from now on."

"Thank you for the reward, rich lady."

"I'm so happy. Ahhhh, this is the first time I feel making money is so easy."

In fact, as long as you find the right way, making money can be easy.

"What are you eating again?" Lin Yuan heard the chewing sound from the other end of the phone.

"I bought a Supreme Ice Cream Egg Waffle, it's delicious. Do you want me to bring you one? But it seems like it will melt if I bring it back. So do you have anything you want to eat? I'll buy it for you."

Lin Yuan said casually, "I want to eat you."

"You rascal. You're taking advantage of me again."

The two chatted for a while, and Xia Ye noticed that Lin Yuan's responses were rambling, "Are you delivering food?"

"Um, yes." In fact, Lin Yuan was busy writing code.

"Come back soon. I'll wait for you to have dinner together. You don't have to work so hard in the future because I make money."

"Okay, okay, be good. Come back early, I'm busy now."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuan felt as if she was a child showing off to adults that she had earned money on her own.

"Oh~~" Lin Yuan could only shake his head.

He was busy fine-tuning the parameters of the food delivery algorithm in his school dormitory. Haotuan was eager to hold a press conference, so they were very eager to roll out the algorithm throughout Zijin City. This resulted in a lot of operation and maintenance work.

Although Lin Yuan often went to the rental house to find Xia Ye, and although Xia Ye also wanted to live with Lin Yuan (as long as they behaved properly), in order not to expose his identity by writing code in front of Xia Ye, Lin Yuan still went back to the school dormitory to live under the pretext of delivering takeout nearby.

Therefore, Xia Ye actually lived alone every night. Lin Yuan never slept there.

This was not because Lin Yuan was a gentleman, but because he did not want to scare that fool in a moment of impulse. That fool often had brain twitches. One second he crossed his arms to express his traditional style, and the next second he saw a cute video of a human cub and pulled Lin Yuan to discuss what their future children would look like.

Lin Yuan couldn't switch as smoothly as she did, so he decided to just ignore it.
-
It is November 2024, and the world seems to be still running on the original track. As expected, the commander-in-chief of the Eagle Country on the other side is the old man who knows everything.

On this side of the Pacific Ocean, Lin Yuan, the little butterfly, flapped his wings. The result of this small flap was that the group held a press conference.

Nowadays, every company wants to play with traffic, and if they want to get traffic, they have to create momentum, so they have to hold press conferences to sell mobile phones and cars. In short, no matter whether you have followers or not, you have to set up a stage and say a few words.

But this is indeed the first time that a food delivery platform has held a press conference.

Haotuan Company preheated the event on its own APP a week in advance - participate in Haotuan takeaway online press conference and receive takeaway coupons with no threshold.

Since the public had already experienced many Internet waves, they were not interested in this kind of promotion, but Haotuan was serious this time. As long as users clicked on the promotion link of Haotuan, they could get a five-yuan coupon without any threshold. It was so refreshing to get to the point, so everyone became interested in the legendary online press conference coupon.

According to Haotuan's propaganda, Haotuan Research Institute has invested huge manpower and material resources to rectify and optimize various internal procedures of the company, reducing overall costs and increasing efficiency by 5 percentage points in the food delivery process. These 5 percentage points will be used as benefits for riders to increase their salary and benefits.

Although it is only five percentage points, it is already a significant improvement for the food delivery industry, which has been almost squeezed dry.

In the trailer released by Haotuan, there are also many testimonials from Haotuan riders. Riders have shared their recent experiences, and the common view among them is that it has been much easier to deliver food recently, and their income has also increased.

Due to a confidentiality agreement, Lin Yuan's name has not been mentioned publicly.

But he was also happy to see it happen. For a hacker, it was good to stay hidden. He didn't want to stand in front of the stage, at least not now.

Even the good group gave him an additional 50 yuan. The reason was: due to the company's business needs, it was inconvenient for him to appear on camera. As a consolation, the salary of the previous three months was also paid according to the annual salary of yuan. So the money that was short of the previous three months was given to him.

But Lin Yuan heard something from others. The real situation seemed to be that Haotuan Research Institute had been busy for a month but still couldn't figure out how to replicate the food delivery algorithm it provided.

Therefore, Lin Yuan felt that this 60,000 yuan was probably used by the group to keep themselves stable, and was not a kind compensation at all.

If we follow this pace, as the good groups gradually find that they can't handle the algorithm, won't my salary continue to rise? It's a good idea to think about it, just let it go.

With the successful launch of Haotuan, a large number of coupons were distributed through the live broadcast room. Of course, these coupons are just used to attract popularity. What Haotuan wants everyone to see is the improvement in the treatment of riders.

Although netizens were sarcastic about the group in the beginning, after netizens from Zijin City, including "my friends, my relatives, and myself," shared their personal experiences, takeout delivery became actually easier than before.

If nothing else, at least there are no disgusting webmasters anymore.

This is because Haotuan has significantly weakened the role of the station manager through algorithms, and replaced them with deliverymen who serve as part-time station managers. So the first feeling of the riders is that there is no one directly managing them anymore, so happy!

Lin Yuan also introduced a customer rating mechanism into the algorithm, which would warn the riders in advance that a certain customer might be difficult to deal with, and would give the riders some spiritual consolation prizes. This reduced conflicts between riders and customers.

Although the actual salary of the drivers has only increased slightly, they feel much happier when delivering food. Work is never just about salary, but also about mood.

And this is also the cunning part of the good group.

Although Lin Yuan was not clear about the revenue increase brought about by the iteration of the food delivery algorithm, because he did not have the authority to see the financial data, he would never believe that the increase brought by the algorithm was only 5 percentage points.

"Isn't this an insult to the system?"

After the webmasters are removed, it is not only the expenses of maintaining webmasters that are saved, but also the optimization of the entire distribution management chain. The relevant personnel of the third-party companies behind the webmasters will be optimized, and some positions related to webmaster management within Haotuan will no longer be needed.

Moreover, after optimizing delivery, delivery costs and customer complaint costs will be reduced.

In Lin Yuan's opinion, the good group obviously wants both reputation and the reduction in management costs brought by the algorithm.

So, naturally, the focus of the entire publicity revolves around optimizing the working environment for riders.

Lin Yuan even feels that making it easier for riders to deliver food may just be considered a by-product by Haotuan. Fortunately, this by-product cannot be monetized by capital.

But no matter what, Lin Yuan was still very happy.

Because at least he really did something that was of some help to the delivery riders in Zijin City.

As for the fact that Haotuan was using this opportunity to gild its image, Lin Yuan was not surprised. Haotuan was indeed in urgent need of a low-cost solution to improve its social image.

Lin Yuan was very curious about what kind of treatment the Haotuan would give him when it discovered in the future that its own research institute could not figure out the algorithm.
