1100: 761 Specialty (Thanks for the tip!) 1100: 761 Specialty (Thanks for the tip!) While most people were still leisurely enjoying the Spring Festival holiday, so had already taken a step ahead to return to their positions.
Kangaroo Group.
Founder Yu Fen convened the company’s senior leadership for an ergency eting while the people of Shenzhou were still enjoying family reunions.
Business is like a battlefield.
A lot of tis, you’re compelled.
Even though they hadn’t done anything, a newly erged food delivery platform pushed them, the industry overlord, into the spotlight because of its generous treatnt to employees.
“I believe we have done what we should, according to labor law, we should provide necessary protection for our employees, and we are undeserving of the public’s praise.”
On the projection screen, a speech from a responsible person at Great Wall Special Delivery was being played.
The grand conference hall was silent as a graveyard.
“Our principle is to create a win-win platform for all parties, to empower rchants, to alleviate delivery riders’ burdens, to benefit custors, and to forge a new ecosystem within the industry…”
The playback was paused.
Standing under the projector screen with a remote control in his hand, Yu Fen’s inscrutable expression showed no clear sign of joy or anger as he scanned the room.
“What do you all think?”
Inside the eting room.
These wealthy capitalists looked at each other.
“I think that Great Wall Special Delivery is clearly targeting us.”
A senior executive spoke out with a weighty voice, making no secret of it.
Indeed.
Everyone here was shrewd, and it was clear that every word of the interview played earlier had implications, with veiled criticisms.
What does “it is only right and proper” an?
What does “undeserving of praise” an?
What is “forging a new industry ecosystem”?
“The public criticism towards us is worsening by the day; we can no longer remain silent.”
Another executive spoke up.
They could ignore the targeting in the news, but a plumting stock price, affecting their own interests, was not sothing they could ignore.
Since the launch of Great Wall Special Delivery, the market value of Kangaroo, which used to earn money while at ease, had been declining, aning the net worth of everyone present was dwindling with every passing second.
“We must take counterasures!”
Soone slamd their hand down on the table, their face showing outrage.
This was not to be criticized.
After all, cutting off soone’s livelihood is like killing their parents.
“Let’s hear your opinions.”
As the founder and the helmsman of Kangaroo Group, Yu Fen was arguably the biggest victim in the room, but he appeared to be keeping his cool compared to others.
This was also the composure required of a big businessman.
“We can learn from the foreigners and use their own thods against them; they sign contracts with their employees and buy them insurance, we can do that too!”
Soone quickly made a suggestion, after all, copying the answer was the simplest and quickest way.
“That won’t work.”
A voice of opposition rose swiftly.
“Why not?”
“They can do this because they are just starting out, small in scale.
But we, as the industry leader, have as many as three million riders.
Doing this, how much additional cost would we incur?”
Many executives nodded thoughtfully.
“Director Fei, I think it’s necessary to remind you that our current number of riders is already less than three million.”
Hearing this, the opposing executive’s brow furrowed.
So many riders have already left?
How long has Great Wall Special Delivery been in operation?
“It’s truly like raising ungrateful weasels, look, these riders have no idea what gratitude is, they do not deserve the good treatnt we’ve been giving them!”
This was disdain from a class perspective.
For the lofty capitalist class to respect the hard-working common people was, indeed, an idealized notion.
Even in front of the caras, these tycoons could smile warmly and say the riders were their brothers and sisters.
“But if we don’t provide, soone will!
Now, accusations of exploitation and market monopoly, of being exclusively profit-oriented, are being hurled at us.
If we don’t change, the loss of personnel will grow more severe.
If there are no riders, who will deliver als?
Should the office workers do it, or should those of us sitting here?”
The point was made loud and clear.
The eting room fell into a montary hush.
“Millions of riders, aside from Kangaroo, who can afford to keep them?
Let them go if they want!
If they’re hungry, they’ll co back willingly.”
Director Fei sneered, clearly representing the hardliner camp.
Yu Fen did not rush to make a statent.
As the leader, he naturally needed to oversee the whole picture, to wait for everyone to speak freely and express their views, and then to make a decision.
“A dog, indeed, will return when hungry.
But they are human!
The biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans have dignity!
I’ve always emphasized the need to improve the rider’s treatnt.
Otherwise, sooner or later, once a capable competitor appears, we will be at a significant disadvantage.”
“We may be the industry leader with millions of riders, but how many of them are our official employees?
How many feel a sense of belonging with Kangaroo?
Without that sense of belonging, no matter how many employees there are, they’re just a loose sandpile; a slight push, and they scatter, much like an obese person who seems intimidating but collapses with a single punch.”
“Director Fei, I understand what you’re about to say, and I am not exaggerating or fearmongering.
Custor data might not show imdiate results, but our riders are leaving daily, an undeniable fact.
We must also be clear, our competition this ti is Great Wall Special Delivery, which has the backing of the Great Wall Group, daring to challenge the entire financial system!”
The decisive speech had all the executives of Kangaroo deep in thought.
