I can become stronger by paying salaries. I have one billion employees!

Chapter 372 Cao Dahua: Boss, when I die, buy me a titanium alloy urn!
Wang Xinying, 34 years old, is balding prematurely, with his head already showing an M-shape.

He sat in his boss's chair, ignoring what Wang Huiwen said, his eyes fixed on the computer screen.

"Brother Xin, the Market Supervision Association wants us to go there this afternoon."

Wang Huiwen spoke again.

"Old Wang, Chen Yansen has returned to Xucheng," Wang Xin said with a slight sigh.

"Brother Xin, do you mean that Senlian Capital is behind this?" Wang Huiwen asked, frowning.

“It could also be Li Yanhong,” Wang Xin replied, looking up. He wasn’t sure himself, but he believed that Chen Yansen was more likely to make the move.

Based on his understanding of Zhang Chaoyang, helping to pass on a message was not something that would cause the other party any trouble. Therefore, Chen Yansen remained unmoved even though he knew that Meituan was willing to admit defeat, which most likely meant that he had other plans.

Senlian Capital is trying to kill Meituan!

Wang Xin's illusions were shattered!

Chen Yansen had absolutely no intention of acquiring Meituan!
"Brother Xin, I just finished a meeting with the marketing department, business development department, and public relations department. The tentative penalty plan is: first, ban the merchant involved, and give each user who placed an order in the past week a 100 yuan no-threshold red envelope; then, increase manual review and raise the entry threshold for merchants."

Wang Huiwen said to herself.

"Let's handle it this way for now. If Senlian Capital intervenes, they'll probably have other tricks up their sleeves. Don't panic, Lao Wang. They didn't order Meituan to shut down. It's not as serious as you think."

Wang Xin chuckled lightly, seemingly unconcerned.

In reality, which company doesn't have negative news or scandals?

Reports of fake medicine scandals on Baidu, hidden camera scandals on Renren, and leaks on Tianya are everywhere; just get through them.

Seeing Wang Xin remain as steady as Mount Tai, Wang Huiwen instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, Brother Xin, I understand." Wang Huiwen nodded and turned to leave the office.

After Lao Wang walked away, Wang Xin deflated like a punctured balloon, his brows furrowed, forming two deep lines.

His actions just now were merely an attempt to calm Wang Huiwen down. If even he panicked, the others would only become more chaotic.

Faced with Pei Yi's offensive, Meituan had no way to speak out and could only passively take the hits.

After the market association announced its intervention in the investigation, Meituan Waimai instantly became synonymous with 'dirty, messy, and poor', with countless riders coming forward to expose its problems, pushing it into the spotlight.

A day has passed, and the hype has only intensified!

Meituan Waimai's daily order volume in North and Northeast China was originally around 100,000, but it dropped by 20% on the day the news broke.

Therefore, Wang Xin's words are not without merit. Although negative public opinion can harm a company, it is not fatal.

As long as it is handled properly and the impact is eliminated in time, it will be fine.

But will Pei Yi give Meituan a chance?

In the evening, a complete list of leaked information was posted online, totaling 37 food delivery stores. These stores were not only on Meituan, but also on Qiandu Waimai.

As a result, in less than half an hour, Wang Zhongpu, the person in charge of Qiandu Waimai, was also criticized and became a trending topic.

Are you making users pay to eat garbage?

Wang Xin and Wang Zhongpu are simply beasts!

Why isn't Kuaipao Delivery listed in the table?

“I checked, and Kuaipao does not cooperate with these 37 stores.”

"The KuaiPao delivery platform has real photos of the store sign, kitchen, and dining area in its merchant information section. If the hygiene is substandard, the delivery riders would have reported it and taken it down long ago. Didn't you know that?"

Netizens discussed this in the comments section.

Soon after, someone posted a comparison image of merchant information from KuaiPao, Meituan, and QianDu Waimai. The differences seemed minor, but KuaiPao had an extra column of folded information that required clicking to load a high-resolution image, allowing users to view the merchant's surrounding environment, dining area, and kitchen hygiene through the photo.

The merchant information on Meituan and Qiandu Waimai is completely empty, containing only phone numbers and addresses.

Sometimes, doing nothing can lead to victory.

Compared to Meituan and Baidu, Kuaipao stands out as a breath of fresh air in the industry, its success entirely due to the contrast with its competitors.

When Chen Yansen inspected the food delivery service at the Luzhou headquarters, he discovered this problem. He did not force merchants to remove the products, but only asked them to add real photos of the stores and give users the choice.

After a year of rectification, although there are also takeaway stores on the Kuaipao platform that do not offer dine-in service, their hygiene conditions are not a problem.

If a delivery rider reports that the kitchen is dirty and messy, the merchant may be fined 3,000 yuan or more severely, have their payments frozen, their account suspended, or their store closed. The delivery rider may receive a 1,000 yuan bonus.

Chen Yansen believes that managing these kinds of businesses is simple: punish them severely, and no one will be afraid.

Good money drives out bad money, and in the end, only high-quality merchants remain.

It was already 11 p.m. when we returned to the virtual city.

Chen Yansen pushed open the wooden gate to the garden and walked straight in, with Song Yuncheng following closely behind.

"I'm going to check on your pigs." Song Yuncheng chuckled, walked past Chen Yansen, and jogged to the pond, splashing water with his hands.

Several plump koi immediately gathered around. Chen Yansen hadn't been home for the past two days, and the feeding work had been handed over to the property manager, leaving them starving.

I used to eat a pound a day, now I eat two ounces a day, who can stand it?

Chen Yansen glanced at it casually and muttered under his breath, "He looks like he's lost weight from hunger."

"You've lost weight?" Song Yuncheng's smile froze as she looked at the dozen or so chubby koi in front of her, almost bursting out laughing.

Chen Yansen opened the living room door, changed into slippers, plopped down on the sofa, and took out his phone to check the project group messages.

The "Collect Five Blessings" event has been online for a week, giving away a total of 1400 prizes of 4999 yuan each. 2745 users have collected all five blessings, and each user can share an average of 3.1 yuan.

The price of the "Jingye Fu" card on scalpers has dropped to 2000 yuan!
With only 9 days left until the draw, and at the current rate of 400 new people joining each day, the total number of people who have joined will reach 6400, and each person will receive an average of 1.3 yuan.

As of 11 PM on January 31st, over 92 million users had participated in the "Collect Lucky Cards" activity, with daily active users reaching 40 million. It is believed that the program "Dialogue" will attract even more new users after its broadcast.

Pei Yi sent him the battle plan for the next few days, which covered a variety of problems with Meituan Waimai, including food safety, poor service, delivery delays, damaged food, slow customer service response, difficulty in getting refunds, and perfunctory handling of complaints. He would release one exposé every day until Lunar New Year's Eve.

With the number of users ordering takeout plummeting during the Chinese New Year, Meituan Takeout will be plagued by negative news for nearly twenty days.

Twenty days is enough to change users' app usage habits.

After the Spring Festival, it will be much more difficult for Meituan to recall these users.

at the same time.

Ma Liyun hurriedly summoned Tang Yongbo, the person in charge of Taobao Takeaway, to formulate corresponding rectification and punishment measures based on the hygiene conditions of the partner merchants.

"Mr. Ma, I have already communicated with the investment promotion team and I guarantee that the image upload and review will be completed by tomorrow."

Tang Yongbo reported.

"Why didn't you do it before?" Ma Liyun questioned.

"The verification process is difficult and requires a lot of manpower and resources," Tang Yongbo explained.

"Why can Kuaipao do it?" Ma Liyun asked again.

"KuaiPao's riders are full-time employees with a base salary and rewards for reporting, while our delivery drivers are temporary workers, and reporting merchants doesn't benefit them much. In addition, KuaiPao forces delivery to the platform, while Taobao Delivery has 40% of its own merchants, making it more difficult to report them."

Tang Yongbo said with a wry smile.

"Fortunately, Taobao Waimai hasn't expanded beyond Hangzhou. If it were in the same North China region as Meituan and Qiandu Waimai, it probably wouldn't have escaped this wave of public opinion attacks either." Ma Liyun's face was tense, and he was not very satisfied with Tang Yongbo's performance.

the other side.

After discussing with Wang Zhongpu, Li Yanhong also adjusted the review mechanism and raised the entry threshold.

The following morning, a Meituan employee gave an interview to a reporter, revealing without reservation the inside story that ground sales managers were accepting red envelopes from merchants and using the same business license to open a large number of stores on the platform.

These businesses are mostly takeout shops without dine-in service, mainly selling fried rice and fried skewers. Because they operate multiple stores, they offer a wide variety of products, and with all kinds of ingredients piled together, it is naturally difficult to keep them clean and hygienic.

Upon seeing the report, Wang Xin realized that yesterday was just the beginning, and the attacks by Kuai Pao had not yet stopped.

No sooner had one wave subsided than another arose, and Meituan quickly became a trending topic again.

Wang Xin was extremely worried and even called Ma Liyun, hoping that she could step in and suppress the trending topic on Weibo.

After all, Ali is currently discussing investment with Sina, and if Ma Liyun is willing to speak up, Cao Weiguo will definitely give him face.

To his surprise, despite Ali being an investor in Meituan, Ma Liyun rejected him without hesitation.

……

……

Zhuxianzhuang Science and Technology Park, Office Building No. 9.

Chen Yansen pulled down the curtains and brought up the system panel.

The number in the "Humanity's Flame" column is 229719, which can be combined to form 2297 strands of Divine Flame.

The physique score is 90.56, just one step away from 100.

"synthesis!"

With a single thought, more than 200,000 threads of humanistic fire transformed into more than 2,000 threads of divine fire.

Golden mist appeared out of thin air and then seeped into the space between the eyebrows.

In just a few breaths, his physique increased to 100, and a new talent, [Golden Skin and Jade Bones], appeared on his panel, with the focus of strengthening bones, muscle fibers, and skin tissue.

The ring-shaped lines in his eyes seemed to have thickened, radiating a cool, metallic sheen.

The remaining 1353 strands of divine flame were combined into 13 strands of immortal flame, all of which were added to his spirit, raising the value from 100.01 to 100.14.

The beginner period is over!

Seeing this, Chen Yansen couldn't help but mutter to himself.

The humanitarian contributions of over 200,000 employees each month are undoubtedly a drop in the ocean compared to the reinforcements of over 100.

Pay raise! Hiring!
Chen Yansen made a decision immediately.

Thinking of this, he took out his phone and dialed Cao Dahua's number.

“Boss, please speak!” Cao Dahua said.

"Following Cai Jingming's lead, starting in February, the hourly wage standard of the Luzhou factory will be consistent with that of Shenzhen."

Chen Yansen gave the order directly.

"Twenty?" Cao Dahua pressed, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Currently, the hourly wage in Shenzhen factories is 20 yuan, while in Luzhou it is 16 yuan.

"Twenty-five," Chen Yansen replied.

"Boss, but the hourly wage at the Shenzhen factory is only twenty?" For a moment, Cao Dahua hadn't reacted yet.

"Then change it to twenty-five," Chen Yansen said irritably.

"Boss, when I die, remember to buy me a titanium alloy urn. I'm worried someone might dig up my grave," Cao Dahua said quietly.

Chen Yansen smiled, ignored Cao Dahua, and then hung up the phone.
