Chapter 1744 Reform of American Ball Delivery

He can't force all businesses to install cameras for live streaming right now, but he should at least create some examples.

If even a few businesses are willing to install cameras, that's enough to show that their hygiene practices are trustworthy.

This will also allow customers to find some trustworthy businesses, which should help win back some customers.

"Mr. Qi, doing this might upset those who don't want to install cameras for live streaming."

"Doing this will most likely cause a significant decrease in orders for those merchants."

Someone said.

"So what? They also want priority recommendations, so they agree to install cameras for live streaming."

"I believe that businesses that don't want to install cameras for live streaming definitely have hygiene problems."

Qi Zhenbang said with a serious expression.

"Mr. Qi, doing this might upset those merchants. If they can't make money, they might choose to leave the platform."

"Some unhygienic businesses have left, and that's it."

Qiao Zhenbang looked at everyone in the conference room and then said, word by word.

"It's no longer the time when we and Ele.me have a monopoly. Back then, customers had no choice."

"But the emergence of Nanchi Takeout has given those customers a choice. Nanchi Takeout has won over customers with its quality, and what we can do is also win them back with our quality."

Qiao Zhenbang slowly leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh.

"The market has changed."

"Nanchi Takeaway is just starting out. If we make changes now, we can still compete for a place when Nanchi Takeaway covers the whole country."

"If we wait until Nanchi Takeaway covers the whole country before we want to make changes, we will probably have to pay a lot more."

When he heard that issuing a large number of food delivery coupons had not changed the situation, he realized that a price war was useless at this point.

"Mr. Qiao, what you're doing is indeed feasible."

"But doing this also carries significant risks, not to mention how many merchants will be dissatisfied and leave the platform."

"Can those merchants who are willing to install cameras for live streaming really be as strict as Nanchi Takeout? Nanchi Takeout has a complete process."

"And we only have a cooperative relationship with those businesses. Will they do what we say?"

Some people began to raise questions.

Qiao Zhenbang looked at the person who raised the question and smiled.

"If you think the suggestion you just made is too risky, do you have a better idea?"

"I don't."

"If you don't have one, then shut up."

Qiao Zhenbang's tone suddenly became serious.

“I’m not kidding you. If we don’t make changes now, it’s like a slow death.”

"Revenue has decreased by 50% in just a few cities now, but when Nanchi Takeaway covers the whole country, the revenue of the entire platform will decrease by 50%, or even more."

"The platform's revenue has decreased by 50%. You should know what that means."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the conference room fell silent.

The platform's revenue decreased by 50%, which basically means it's losing money.

Seeing that no one spoke, Qiao Zhenbang continued.

"This reform is very important, and we need to make that clear to those businesses."

"This is about the survival of their stores. When Nanchi Takeaway becomes the dominant platform and everyone orders from Nanchi Takeaway, these businesses will only be able to offer dine-in service."

"In the current social environment, they should know better than anyone what the income of dine-in services is like."

"It is true that following Nan Chi Takeaway's standards will increase their costs significantly, but he should choose between making less profit and not making any profit at all."

"Alright, that's all for now. You can go and discuss it further. Meeting adjourned."

Qiao Zhenbang waved his hand, then got up and left the conference room.

Back in the office, I slumped into my chair, my mind preoccupied with the Nanchi takeout issue.

He knew one thing for sure: no matter how he reformed, Meiqiu Takeout would never be able to achieve what Nanchi Takeout did.

Nanchi Takeaway is a whole, but within this whole, Nanchi Takeaway has given up most of its profits to its employees and customers.

But Meiqiu Delivery is different; it involves the platform, the merchant, and the delivery person.

The platform needs to make money, the merchants need to make money, and the deliverymen need to make money too.

However, increasing the quality of takeout food inevitably increases the cost of takeout food.

Increased costs in the food delivery industry mean less profit.

So who should earn less?

Platform, merchant, or delivery driver.

Thinking of this,

Qiao Zhenbang shook his head helplessly. Everyone has their own interests, and no one wants to earn less.

He was aware of some of the platform's practices.

Hey!

We can only wait and see what the final outcome will be.

The platform isn't something he can control alone.

Taklamakan Desert,

"Mr. Wei, where did you get these green plants?"

Zuo Wentao looked at the flowerpot Wei Yan handed him and asked curiously.

"It was our General Manager Chen who was pruning the plants, and I just picked up a few branches to try and cultivate them."

"I don't recognize what kind of plant this is. I just want to cultivate it and see if it's suitable for planting in this desert area."

“But I’m not an expert in this area, so I asked Professor Zuo to help me with the cultivation.”

"This branch has just been planted in the soil, and the most important thing right now is for it to take root."

Wei Yan slowly began to speak, saying that his first stop upon arriving in the desert was the research institute.

After all, it's much safer to let the research institute cultivate it than to let them cultivate it themselves.

Furthermore, whether this plant is suitable for the desert needs to be analyzed by the research institute.

"Oh, I see. Then I'll accept these plants and I'll definitely take good care of them."

"If we can find a plant that is more suitable for planting in the desert, the desert oasis project will be much easier."

Zuo Wenbo said with a smile.

"Then we'll have to trouble Professor Zuo. We brought back some local specialties from our hometown this time, and I've already arranged for them to be unloaded in the yard."

Wei Yan spoke up.

He knew perfectly well that the staff at these research institutes didn't get a holiday during the Chinese New Year.

He had great respect for these researchers, and considering the poor living conditions in the desert, he specially purchased a batch of supplies.

"Mr. Wei, then we won't refuse. We will definitely do our best to help you in the desert."

Zuo Wentao said with a serious expression.

Since the Desert Oasis project was acquired by Tomorrow Group, Mr. Wei has been regularly arranging for people to deliver supplies over.

At first he refused, but each time Wei Yan had a different excuse, making it hard for him to refuse.

Moreover, those supplies can indeed improve the living standards of the researchers here.
