Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

April 22nd, Monday.

Shanghai, Shengyun Corporation.

Nie Yunsheng looked at the comments below the video and smiled in satisfaction.

The video had achieved such a enthusiastic response. It had already achieved initial success. It had even exceeded Nie Yunsheng's expectations.

That meant that the plan given by the think tank was still useful!

To put it bluntly, this plan was to work hard to push a hat onto Tengda's head. "Why not eat minced meat".

Tengda Corporation had indeed achieved success in many fields and conducted many innovations in business models. There was no doubt about that.

However, many of Tengda's measures were actually more idealistic in the eyes of ordinary people.

Now, the war between the Tengda Alliance and the Tengda Alliance, especially the war of public opinion, was concentrated in the basic industries, such as express delivery, rental apartments, take-out platforms, and so on.

The main characteristics of these industries were that the situation was complicated.

Many problems could not be solved in a one-size-fits-all manner. Instead, they had to be analyzed in detail. In many cases, solutions had to be filled with compromise.

Take the take-out platform for example. Customers hoped that the delivery fees would be as low as possible, and the faster the delivery, the better. The delivery men hoped to send more orders to make more money. It was not easy for the platform to coordinate the demands of both sides.

Under such circumstances, emphasizing the benefits of the delivery men on the one hand would definitely increase the delivery fees and extend the delivery time.

In other words, it would affect efficiency to a certain extent and customers' interests.

In the short term, this conflict was irreversible. After all, there was no such black technology as drone delivery. He still had to rely on the delivery men to run errands.

All sorts of problems would arise as long as it was an economic event that happened between humans.

Fish-Catching Take-Out might have dismantled the tactics of the take-out platform but Fish-Catching Take-Out only solved this problem by investing a lot of money and forcefully increasing the benefits of the delivery men.

However, not every platform had such generous conditions like Fish-Catching Take-Out.

Were these platforms not fit to survive? Did these consumers not have the right to enjoy take-out services within the scope that Fish-Catching Take-Out did not cover?

Therefore, Home Take-Out seized on these problems and tried all ways and means to label Fish-Catching Take-Out as' not eating minced meat '.

As long as this was successful, the existence of home take-out would be reasonable. It might not be a complete victory in the battle of public opinion, but it would at least completely guard its position and the ability to divide the market with Fish-Catching Take-Out.

From the looks of it, the video had achieved the desired effect!

The attitude of the delivery men especially triggered many deliverymen.

In the comments section, everyone basically recognized that delivery men were an industry that could work hard to get rich. They had indeed obtained far more remuneration than other physical labour through the home delivery platform.

As for Fish-Catching Take-Out's delivery guys, they were treated better but it was impossible for Fish-Catching Take-Out to eat up the entire industry's labor. Most people still recognized and needed take-out to supplement the entire takeaway industry.

"If this move can work, other industries can also promote it, especially the express delivery industry."

"Upwind Logistics is indeed better than Shengyun Corporation in many aspects. However, as long as this method proves that Shengyun Corporation is an indispensable segment of the entire market, the pressure of public opinion would be greatly reduced!"

Nie Yunsheng seemed to see the light and hope of Shengyun Express turning the tables from home delivery!

Just as Nie Yunsheng was feeling excited about this hope and dawn, he heard an urgent knock on his office door.

The Vice-President rushed in. "Boss Nie, Fish-Catching Take-Out is launching a counterattack!"

Nie Yunsheng was stunned. "So fast?"

He was a little surprised because the video of Fish-Catching Take-Out had only been released for two days. How could Fish-Catching Take-Out respond so quickly?

However, on further thought, Tengda Alliance had always been known for its foresight and efficiency. Perhaps Boss Pei had predicted that Home Take-Out would counterattack in public opinion, so he had made a plan in advance.

Nie Yunsheng did not dare to be negligent. He quickly asked, "Is the person-in-charge talking about the segment again? Did the person-in-charge personally go down or likes and shares other netizens' videos?"

The Vice-President shook his head. "Neither!"

"This time, a young lecturer in sociology from Handong University analyzed the model of home take-out through a thesis!"

"Not only that, Fish-Catching Take-Out's official platform released a lot of video information on Bunny Tail Live-Stream and Aili Island's website. It described the experience of this young lecturer and some Fish-Catching Take-Out employees when they entered the home take-out business!"

"The thesis also provides a lot of information. I haven't read it carefully, but it gives people a feeling that it's amazing."

Nie Yunsheng was shocked. He asked in disbelief, "A young lecturer in the Sociology Department?"

The Vice-President nodded. "That's right. I heard that this young lecturer seems to have been working with the knowledge board of Useful App and Bunny Tail Live-Stream. He himself is in this field. This time, he must have spent a lot of effort to be a low-level deliveryman at home take-out and experience life. That's why he could gather so much information!"

Nie Yunsheng was speechless.

It could even be done this way?

It was really impossible to guard against everything!

The anti-Tengda Alliance had not had the upper hand since the start of this public opinion war.

What was even scarier was that they did not even know who to fight in this public opinion war!

At the beginning, the people in charge of Tengda Corporation ended up dead.

After that, the heads of the various departments went to the lower levels. The substitute person-in-charge personally rolled up his sleeves and went into battle.

After the substitute person-in-charge stopped playing, it aroused the enthusiasm of netizens to participate. The big shots in various industries went down one after another and forcefully continued the person-in-charge's speech.

Now, even a young lecturer in a university had ended up writing a thesis to analyze!

The battle of public opinion continued to escalate, catching Nie Yunsheng and the bosses of the anti-Tengda Alliance off guard.

That was because he would kill enemies from different fields every time. How should he guard against it?

He had to know his enemy first!

Nie Yunsheng immediately switched on his computer and checked the young lecturer's live-stream.

He could not believe it. Could it be that this young lecturer could really dismantle the latest trick of Home Take-Out and take off the hat that was not minced meat on Tengda's head?

…

In Teacher Wang's live-stream, Nie Yunsheng realized that this young lecturer had actually written a serious thesis.

The PDF format of this thesis could be downloaded at will. It was hung in a noticeable location in the live-stream!

Nie Yunsheng quickly downloaded the thesis and opened it.

Teacher Wang's thesis was written in a deep and complicated manner. A certain amount of knowledge was needed to understand it. This was enough to prove that the thesis was very professional. It had been seriously inspected and studied.

Teacher Wang was still explaining the deeper meaning of this thesis to everyone in the knowledge area of Bunny Tail Live-Stream considering that the audience's understanding of the live-stream was different.

The discussion in the live-stream was intense. Many people were already questioning Teacher Wang's research results in the live-stream.

The most important voice of doubt came from the video released by the delivery man, which was the voice of the delivery man.

First, take-out was an industry that worked a lot. The delivery guys worked hard to take on more orders and sent more orders just to obtain better income. This was the take-out guys' initiative. It was very inhumane to forcefully reduce their working hours.

Secondly, take-out was an up-and-coming industry that provided convenience to everyone. If the delivery men wanted to make more money, customers wanted a faster and cheaper service platform. In order to satisfy the requirements of the delivery men and customers at the same time, they would definitely make some seemingly unreasonable rules. That was inevitable.

The title of Teacher Wang's thesis was the labor order under the control of numbers.

It mainly analyzed the platform companies weakening the resistance consciousness of the cavalry through digital control, taking away their space to exert autonomy, forcing them to participate in their own management process without realizing, and criticizing the platform's behavior.

This position seemed to be on the same side as Tengda Corporation. It felt like they were not feasting on minced meat. Naturally, it aroused some doubts.

Teacher Wang seemed to be prepared for this. He began to patiently answer the questions of the audience in the live-stream.

"I completely understand everyone's doubts and doubts."

"Many people think that I'm only questioning the model of Home Take-Out. I've also analyzed the current conflict between the take-out platform, cavalry, businessmen, and users. However, everyone thinks that there is no solution to this conflict at the moment, and my doubts are not constructive."

"I want to emphasize here that this is not the case. In fact, Fish-Catching Take-Out has been investigating the correct solution."

"The current model of home delivery might look like the best choice under conflict, but it is essentially avoiding conflict and neglecting conflict. In the future, these conflicts will still explode!"

"That's why I want everyone to think about something.

"As the saying goes, one who does not have far-reaching worries must have near worries. We'll discuss and consider the possible problems in similar internet innovation industries now. Is that considered too early to say?"

"Are these conflicts still in their embryonic state and have not surfaced, so we can completely ignore them?"

"Of course not!"

"The mistake of home delivery is to emphasize one's contribution to society and jobs on the surface but cover up the conflict and describe this conflict as an unsolvable conflict to guide public opinion."

"However, I think that this conflict can be resolved."

"The reason why it looks unsolvable is because capital seeks to appreciate and maximize benefits. Social responsibility is not the priority."

"The person-in-charge of Fish-Catching Take-Out had already analyzed the chaos on the outside."

"At the same time, Home Take-Out offers a different view.

"Today, I want to raise the height of the discussion a little based on these two views. I want everyone to be able to analyze the problems brought by the continuous development of internet platform companies. Also, is there a reasonable solution to this problem?"
