Xueba's computing system

Chapter 238 Algorithm Storm 3
As expected, Tesla's food delivery service has taken over the mid- to high-end food delivery market.

Although Haotuan and Blue Label Factory also launched food safety controls in a tit-for-tat manner, they also pretended to access the merchants' surveillance images.

However, their algorithms simply couldn't keep up.

Haotuan and Blue Label Factory first worked on their respective internal R&D departments, but the algorithms they came up with were full of errors and omissions.

For example, they cannot distinguish between customers and employees, let alone analyze the cooking process. Their algorithm is just a large cloud monitoring system.

The worst thing is that Haotuan and Blue Label do not have enough mid- to high-end food delivery market to support their profits, and the investors behind them are scared after Tesla entered the market and dare not increase investment to subsidize merchants and riders. Because they do not think they can spend more money than Tesla.

Without sufficient profit support, forcing monitoring will definitely make people hate you. And this monitoring algorithm is useless.

In the end, Haotuan and BlueBiao Factory simply added the function of viewing surveillance images on the details page of each order.

Then, not long after, this move was met with a collective boycott by merchants.

Because if those businesses disclose their cooking process, then they are no longer selling anything worthwhile, as the regulatory authorities will come to inspect the next day.

Those that claim to sell fresh meat actually take out piles of frozen meat from the refrigerator every day, while those that claim to sell freshly cooked food actually use a variety of pre-prepared dishes.

The most cruel thing is how to live under surveillance with those technologies. Can the kitchen be open to the public at will?

Soon, the merchants began to act in defiance of the rules and brought out cameras to film the finished product area.

Due to insufficient profits, weak brand power and poor algorithms, Haotuan and Blue Label Factory are completely finished.

They can only enter the low-end and mid-range food delivery market that Tesla food delivery does not touch.

But Lin Yuan obviously has the idea of completely cleaning up the takeout industry.

The biggest cost of an algorithm lies in the process of inventing and verifying it. Once the verification is completed, the main cost for mass deployment is the hardware cost.

But even so, the mid- and low-end takeout market still finds it difficult to support this set of gameplay.

Although configuring high-definition cameras is a one-time investment, the construction of a management system cannot be accomplished through algorithms. For example, the waiters in some small restaurants are elderly men and women, so how can they understand the concepts of process and standards?

To put it bluntly, there are a large number of small restaurants that simply cannot afford the high management costs. Even after algorithm optimization, they cannot afford the management costs.

Lin Yuan's gameplay is based on standardization, which is actually the same as the assembly line established during the Industrial Revolution. After standardization, it is scaled up, and this method is naturally suitable for large-scale catering entities such as franchise stores.

In the following days, a large number of large catering companies came to Tesla Food Delivery to negotiate to adopt this management model.

Even many manufacturing companies came to negotiate.

Tesla's senior management is eager to promote this management model to all walks of life.

However, Lin Yuan quickly stopped it.

Because he himself didn't know what kind of monsters this algorithm would hatch in other industries once it ran outside the food delivery industry. He thought he had a good understanding of the food delivery industry, but in the process of implementing this algorithm, many situations that he didn't expect still occurred.

If it is rashly implemented in other industries and falls into the hands of a group of profit-seeking guys, who knows if there will be a river of blood.

Lin Yuan can use his personal relationship with Musk to suppress the profit-making impulse of Tesla Longguo’s senior management.

But he can't suppress people from other companies.

Even among Tesla's senior management, many people complained that they missed out on such a good opportunity and making money.

Fortunately, Musk, that bastard, knows that some money should not be touched. Because if you make money from it, it will easily cause big trouble.

This algorithm's surveillance of workers is so terrifying. Why don't those who are monitored on Tesla's food delivery platform have resentment? It's because they can get benefits from being monitored.

But not every company can play the same game as Tesla.

It can even be said that Tesla's high salaries to merchants and riders on its platform are not out of charity, but to improve the quality of service. This is essentially an increase in costs to improve the quality of its own products.

Except for Lin Yuan who really wanted to benefit the public, no one else thought the same way during this process.

Even Musk is a vampire in Lin Yuan's eyes, but he is just an aspiring vampire. Musk has no sympathy when it comes to cutting leeks.

Lin Yuan felt from his interactions with him that Musk had little sympathy for ordinary people, and that he only cared about "self-realization." In short, Lin Yuan felt that Musk treated ordinary people like grass.

Therefore, Lin Yuan would never let this algorithm leak out.

During this period of time, Lin Yuan saw a wide range of different kinds of people.

In order to survive, Haotuan and Blue Label Factory actually chose to merge.

You have to know that there are two different capitals behind them. They have been fighting overtly and covertly for so many years, and their grievances are simply overwhelming. But under strong external pressure, they merged.

This is just the performance of competitors, but the dirty insider business of Tesla delivery is the most exciting.

Seeing the rise of Tesla's food delivery service and the AI concept becoming popular again, Tesla's senior management in Longguo had the mentality of picking peaches.

Originally, they were skeptical about doing takeout and didn't expect it to be successful.

However, Lin Yuanda was determined to unify the food delivery industry, so the senior management of Tesla Longguo proposed to bring the food delivery department under the unified management of the Longguo branch.

Naturally, they found many reasons for this, but all the reasons pointed to turning Lin Yuan into their subordinate. They wanted to reap the benefits.

Lin Yuan did not indulge them. At a high-level management meeting of Tesla's Longguo branch, in front of Musk via remote video link, he openly slammed the table and harshly greeted the head of Tesla Longguo.

"I'm CNM, I'm not your subordinate. You're nothing."

Musk, who was on the other end of the video, covered his eyes and said repeatedly, "Easy, easy! My crazy baby!"

Then everyone realized that Lin Yuan’s background was so strong that he dared to greet everyone present in front of the big boss Musk.

They finally understood that Tesla Takeaway was just a Tesla name, because Musk said, "Tesla Takeaway is Lin Yuan's company, and he has the final say."

Haotuan spun off its food delivery business, merged it with the Blue Label Factory, and then gave it a very targeted name - Longhua Food Delivery. The slogan is to do a good job of food delivery for Longhua people.

Subsequently, Longhua Takeaway launched a wave of Internet troll offensives: focusing on the data security issues brought about by Tesla takeaway and the ethical issues brought about by the involvement of AI in production management.

Lin Yuan knew clearly that this was because the opponent was unable to win a direct confrontation and had resorted to underhand tactics. Longhua takeaway was really... When they couldn't win a direct confrontation, they would flip the table to set the pace.

Lin Yuan felt a deep malice. When the bastard can't beat you, the bastard will start to flaunt morality.

Lin Yuan found it extremely funny. Haotuan and Lanbiao Factory had dominated the food delivery industry for so many years, but when had they ever really cared about the lives of the small merchants and riders in Longguo?

Lin Yuan had to figure out how to solve the scale effect brought about by algorithm standardization, which would give big companies an overwhelming advantage over small businesses. He also had to deal with the smear campaigns from competitors and the endless online memes about him.

He finally realized that starting a business is not something that ordinary people can do.
