Chapter 101: Actively Embrace Technology Empowerment
“Don’t be complacent.”

“This is just a small victory at the stage.”

"You have some ambition. Are you so happy with just 70,000 orders?"

“How can you do big things with me in the future?
There are 20 million people in Shanghai, one-tenth of whom eat takeout. With 2 million people eating three meals a day, the minimum number of orders per day is 6 million!
How far have we come? Less than 2 percent, what is there to be proud of? "

Even when they had a meeting early the next morning, everyone had a smile on their face. With this achievement, all the hard work was worth it.

Li Zehua was very calm, so calm that a crescent moon occasionally appeared at the corner of his mouth. "So, no matter what you think, I am very happy."

"Of course, the work must continue. Zhang Dayou, let's start with you and report the details."

Zhang Dayou laughed, "According to the comprehensive review this morning, the total number of orders yesterday was 77,487.

Among them, 24705 orders were placed by phone, 48255 orders were placed on the Chime.com website, and there were also orders diverted from the original meal delivery platform, orders from various stations, and temporary incremental orders from merchants. "

"Very good. This is the first time that online ordering has surpassed manual phone ordering, and it's nearly double. If I remember correctly, the telephone customer service team has nearly 130 people, right?"

"And what about the technical department and the R&D department? There are less than 40 people in total! Everyone, can anyone tell me what this means?!"

After listening to the data comparison, everyone present looked thoughtful, and only the new member Ye Feng decisively raised his hand to speak.

"Let me briefly talk about this. During the period of meal delivery, I had already noticed the huge market prospects of the combination of the Internet and traditional catering delivery.

So I decisively rejected the job invitation from Microsoft Group just to verify this fact.

After I joined our group, Mr. Li told me more than once that the food delivery market has broad prospects and is likely to reach billions or even tens of billions in the future.

Now, with the real data in front of us, we are an Internet high-tech company in every sense of the word! ”

Li Zehua took the lead in applauding, awakening the crowd who were in deep thought. However, many of them still had confused looks on their faces and just applauded passively.

After a little thought, he said, “I believe many people cannot understand that whether it is traditional delivery or Internet delivery, we are actually doing delivery, and it seems that there is no difference, right?

But this is an extremely wrong idea!

Because the Internet will greatly tap the greatest potential of this industry, I call it Internet technology empowerment.

For example, Mr. Zhang, let me ask you, if I want to serve three meals a day for two million people in Magic, how many customer service and dispatching staff do I need?"

Zhang Dayou did a quick calculation and couldn't believe it. "According to the current limit of each person, with more than 200 orders a day, it would take about 30,000 to 30,000 people!"

Everyone was stunned.

There are no fools here. Distribution is originally an industry with low profits, and the company is still making losses today.

They dare not even think that to achieve the ideal state for just the Shanghai market, 30,000 customer service staff would be needed. What about the whole country?

Even if you achieve a nationwide monopoly, you can't afford to support hundreds of thousands or millions of customer service staff across the country, right?

Li Zehua was very satisfied to see that everyone was touched, "This is the charm of the Internet. As long as we have enough servers to carry the data and do a good job of daily maintenance and upgrades.

Forty people can easily surpass the work of one hundred and thirty people. Is it because the latter are not working hard enough?

Everyone here can see that our colleagues from the customer service team are just downstairs.

Moreover, this is by no means the limit of the Internet. Take those Internet companies that serve hundreds of thousands of people as an example. They can even achieve a one-to-a-thousand or even a one-to-ten-thousand ratio.

This means that as long as we grasp the core of the Internet, we can use a few hundred or a few thousand people to accomplish things that hundreds of thousands of people cannot do.

How much cost can this save and how much profit can it increase for the company? Now, don’t you think we are an Internet company? "The amount of information was too much for everyone to accept.

But there is one point they all noticed, that is, the company will usher in better and faster development.

No one understands what the Internet is, but its convenience is obvious to everyone.

"No one is talking. Are you against my opinion?"

"No, we are still trying to understand and digest your insights."

The others also nodded. Li Zehua nodded approvingly to Hao Junjie who took over the conversation and continued.

"The next focus is to allow the technology department and R&D department to play a greater role and recruit more IT professionals to expand our leading edge."

Wu Wenhui couldn't help but say, "Mr. Li, we understand what you said, but isn't this too radical?
I am not targeting anyone intentionally, I am just speaking the truth. Currently, the monthly costs of broadband, server rental and storage are already very high.

Blindly expanding the scale will bring great development burden to the company, and greater losses mean greater risks. "

Li Zehua didn’t care, “As I said before, without setting any profit target, we will burn through 10 million in one year!!!

Don’t think I’m joking. Not only for this year, but even in the next three to five years, the company does not have any profit plan!”

"what?!"

Almost everyone was dumbfounded.

Starting a business not for profit?

Did they hear it wrong?
“I emphasize again, in the next three to five years, all those so-called profit plans will be cut off!
From today on, everyone must remember one fact! Losing money in the market, the more we lose, the safer we are! "

Gu Shijie looked at this and that, he was not in a hurry, he understood that Mr. Li was preparing to deceive people again.

But he was really curious, where did Li Zehua's confidence and self-confidence come from?

He is only twenty years old!

Why do I feel like a 50-year-old fox?
Yang Zhichao and Yu Li were not in a hurry either. The former was completely impressed by the talent displayed by Li Zehua.

As for the latter?
It might be difficult for Li Zehua to let her die, but a look was enough to ask her to do something else.

“You heard me right, I just want to make money, not small money today, but big money in the future!

Some of you must be thinking, there is no need to lose money, we give front-line employees too high commission, even if we deduct 20%, they dare not easily leave, because the salary is still higher than the average level of Shanghai~
If we deduct a little from the merchants and save a little on costs, wouldn't we make a profit?

Mr. Qin and Mr. Ye have mentioned to me more than once that, just like the meal delivery service, it can also make money.

But I want to emphasize one point, the money-making market will become the object of everyone's learning and hard work. Are we strong?

It seems that we have a team of thousands of people, but what are we in front of those multinational companies and listed companies?
None of that!

Can others let you make money and grow peacefully?
How can we expect to win if we just throw in some money?
Therefore, it is necessary to set high thresholds and cultivate a grassroots team with strong combat effectiveness.

They can poach everyone here with high salaries, but they can't give a raise to all their front-line employees.

This is my purpose!
We lost so much money that even the giants shook their heads when they saw it!

By the time they discover the bright future of this market and are ready to enter, we will have enough confidence to meet the challenge!"
