Xueba's computing system

Chapter 206 Disadvantages of Late Developers

After Lin Yuan joined the Blue Label Factory, it took only three days for him to rebuild the entire distribution algorithm model for them.

After all, code is difficult to type, but easy to copy.

Haotuan and BlueBiaoFactory can share the same delivery logic anyway.

The Blue Label Factory also quickly allocated computing power equipment and organized personnel to verify the algorithm. After that, the algorithm was launched online.

The first city where the algorithm was launched was naturally Zijin City, but the algorithm did not make any splash after it was launched.

Haotuan has attracted a large number of merchants and riders with its first-mover advantage. Now the number of orders on the Blue Label Factory platform is no longer at the same level as Haotuan.

The difference in order volume has caused many merchants to simply close the entrance to the Blue Label Factory platform and switch to only doing group platform business. This has also led to a sharp drop in the number of orders from Blue Label Factory riders.

Since food delivery is a volume-based industry, no matter how powerful the algorithm is, it cannot make up for the lack of orders.

If the order volume is insufficient, it is useless to optimize the delivery process.

Everyone at the Blue Label Factory then recalled what Lin Yuan had said at the meeting - the counterattack against the good team cannot be based solely on technical means, and the first-mover advantage cannot be offset by copying homework.

The trick that the blue label factory came up with later was: we will also provide subsidies.

When this proposal was raised at the meeting, Lin Yuan simply asked, "How much subsidy can we give, and how much ammunition can Alibaba give us?"

Mr. Zhang immediately responded, "The higher-ups are very concerned about the food delivery business. The food delivery business is already profitable, and it is also a traffic portal that the group values very much. It is an important portal for other local life businesses and financial lending."

Lin Yuan understood. Penguin Group has no shortage of traffic, and they are always thinking about how to monetize the traffic brought by social platforms. Alibaba Group lacks traffic the most, and they are always thinking about where to get traffic. And the food delivery platform is an excellent traffic entrance due to its user scale.

Therefore, for the food delivery platforms, it is not only about making money from food delivery, but also from traffic. Naturally, they are willing to spend money to protect it.

"But Mr. Zhang, Haotuan is now self-sustaining. They can continue to earn profits from the stock market, and even have a large number of institutions lining up to pay for additional stock issuance. I don't think it's wise for us to compete with them for ammunition."

After seeing Lin Yuan's foresight, Mr. Zhang has paid much attention to his opinions. "Tell me what you think."

"Strike the snake at its weakest point. The good group is now on the rise, so we should retreat."

"What do you mean?"

"We're going to add fuel to the fire and create a trend that Haotuan is about to dominate the food delivery industry. Let it advance rapidly in the stock market. After all, Haotuan is a listed company. They will definitely not be able to resist the temptation of stock prices, and then rush into the stock market like a group of sharks smelling blood and hunt frantically.

This will then trigger stock market regulation in Hong Kong.

This is not the point. The point is that we are worried that the turmoil in the financial market will cause the Haotuan food delivery market to collapse again. Now that so many riders rely on the Haotuan food delivery platform to make a living, so many mouths depend on it for food, the country will naturally worry that its turmoil will affect employment. "

"Originally, the Good Group has been very patient and has been resisting its bloodthirsty impulses, but as long as we give it a push, I don't believe that its shareholders will be able to hold back in the face of huge profits."

Lin Yuan meant: There are many people in listed companies who can influence the company's decision-making. Even if the CEO of Haotuan can bear it, so many investment institutions can't bear it. Because Haotuan is not their own son, they invest in Haotuan just to make money. As long as they can make a lot of money in the short term, they don't care about the long-term benefits.

"Then how can we add fuel to the fire?" "Can we issue a financial report and announce to the public that our Blue Label Factory is about to go bankrupt? Anyway, we are not a listed company. Our parent company is a listed company. With this in mind, there shouldn't be that much performance pressure."

Mr. Zhang looked embarrassed. "Mr. Lin, you also said that our parent company is a listed company, so we also have financial pressure. This operation will definitely not be approved by the higher-ups."

Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment, "What if we make arrangements in the stock market in advance? The losses caused by the financial report can be recovered from the stock market. Moreover, we can go long in advance and then go short, making two sums of money. It should be able to make up for a lot of losses.

Our goal is not to make money in the short term, but to completely disrupt the food delivery industry.”

Mr. Zhang carefully savored Lin Yuan's words. "If operated properly, the method you mentioned is indeed feasible. But the risk is too high. It is not mainly the risk of operation, but the risk of policy supervision. Disrupting the takeaway market will greatly affect employment, and taking the opportunity to manipulate the stock market is another felony.

Any one of these would be enough to finish us off.”

Lin Yuan sighed, "Mr. Zhang, you have been in the Internet industry for so many years. You should know that the first-mover advantage will make the gap between Haotuan and us bigger and bigger. One step behind means all the way behind. When Haotuan really gets the public city information service portal in various places, it will really be successfully launched and transformed into a people-benefiting project.

Of course, we will have a place by then. As long as we can keep up with its delivery costs, our company will always have a market share.

Just like AMD and Intel,

The good team will be Intel by then, and we will become AMD, the runner-up and backup.

The government will not let us die, lest Haotuan completely dominates the market, but it will not give us much support either, because the government will not intervene too much in the market.

Mr. Zhang, do you want to be AMD? If our company really reached that point, you would have been fired long ago. "

Seeing that Mr. Zhang's face was twitching, Lin Yuan continued, "Instead of being led by the nose, it is better to give it a try. You are worried that we will break the rules, but is it true that a good group will never break the rules?

The group deliberately defamed itself and manipulated the stock price in the Hong Kong stock market. Would the higher-ups not know about it? It's just that they don't want to investigate the matter because it has indeed promoted the development of the food delivery industry.

As long as we can completely destroy the food delivery market, the public will only care about ending the chaos as soon as possible. As long as we force the good groups to willingly join us in disrupting the food delivery market, the public will not be able to deal with any of us.

After dealing with us, who will it expect to clean up the mess for it, who will rebuild the food delivery market, and who will provide jobs for so many riders?

We don't need to feel guilty.

By disrupting the food delivery market, we are only causing the problem to break out sooner.

If we allow the group to continue operating in this way, who knows what the situation will be like in the future.

Has Intel achieved anything since it became the dominant player? In the mobile sector, it is still being beaten by ARM, a small company that started out of a garage. "

"The government is cooperating with Haotuan with a pinched nose. We know Haotuan is not a good thing, but we can't find a replacement. This is also because our company is not doing well. As long as we show the ability and determination to compete with Haotuan, I believe the government can tolerate the short-term chaos in the food delivery market.

As the saying goes, there is no construction without destruction. "

Mr. Zhang nodded repeatedly at Lin Yuan's words, "Let me discuss this with the headquarters."
