I Have 100 Million Stores

Chapter 296: Self-inflicted crimes cannot live.

It's no wonder Yuan Delun's reaction was so intense all of a sudden.

You must know that the permanent 1% commission is undoubtedly a complete disruption of the current market rules and established business models in the field of food delivery!

And every business model is not imagined out of thin air, but after a long period of continuous exploration, trial, trial, and practice, a mature business model that can be recognized by the world can finally be formed.

It has been 12 years of development in the field of Internet food delivery platforms, and finally formed the current business model that is mainly based on commissions and supplemented by online advertising promotion!

If the commission is directly cut off, it will undoubtedly completely subvert and subvert this business model!

What you need to know is that Meituan and Hungry? have been fighting for so many years, or when there are more food delivery platforms competing to grab the market, they are at best burning money on red envelopes.

During the period, it can be said that various methods were used, but they never tampered with the matter of commission.

Even if the commission money is distributed to merchants in the form of subsidies, the matter of merchant commissions will not change.

The reason why the two parties can develop such a tacit understanding without any communication is because commission is the foundation and future of the food delivery platform!

Both sides know that no matter how much they fight, they cannot destroy their foundations.

After all, it will take time to train merchants to accept such a high commission and accept this form.

Now that everyone has finally accepted the fact of commission, there is no reason to break it.

From the merchant's point of view, others may not understand how attractive the permanent 1% commission is, but Yuan Delun knows it well.

It is no exaggeration to say that if a food delivery platform with a 1% commission pops up at this time, then both Meituan and Are you hungry will die!

The so-called millions of merchants on the two platforms have to run out in an instant!

It is not counted as the kind that cannot be separated temporarily after signing a dead contract with the platform.

But whoever can leave, the family will not stay!

And if the merchants are all gone, the food delivery platform's biggest reliance, source of income, traffic guarantee, etc. will naturally be gone!

"So it's the Shiwang brand." After hearing what Cao Xingyu said just now, Xiao Lin suddenly realized it!

He had actually heard the gossip about the 1% rake before!

He hasn't taken it seriously yet!

None of them chose to report to the top!

After all, a permanent 1% commission sounds ridiculous!

Who would have thought,

It turned out to be true!

After hesitating again and again in his heart, Xiao Lin decided that he had to report this matter to Yuan Delun.

Otherwise, he would have made several mistakes this time.

This mistake is not a big one, but if the leader really pursues it later, he will definitely not be able to eat it!

Xiao Lin moved to Yuan Delun's side and said in a low voice:

"Mr. Yuan, I just got the news this morning that a group of people are going around talking to merchants about entering the platform, and the scale is quite large."

"It seems to be talking about a permanent 1% commission."

"I'm still investigating which platform it is, and I want to wait for the investigation to be clear before reporting to Mr. Yuan. I didn't expect that Shiwang brand is doing this."

Obviously, Xiao Lin played a trick at this time. He didn't say that he learned the news two days ago, but learned it in the morning instead.

In this way, there is a high probability that the leader will not hold him accountable.

"It turned out to be true?" Hearing this, Yuan Delun couldn't help but gasped.

He was still thinking in his heart, might the young man in front of him be so angry that he deliberately said these words to scare him.

It turned out to be unexpected, the other party had already taken action offline!

We have started to contact merchants for negotiation!

Then of course it cannot be faked!

"Why?" After a pause, Yuan Delun said with a gloomy face:

"Is it just to compete with our Meituan for merchants? To compete for the takeaway market share?"

"But what's the use of you taking away the merchants in this way?"

"Without the core income of commission, what's the point of your platform being bigger, merchants, and users?"

"In the end, I can't make any money at all!"

"In the final analysis, your trick is to kill one thousand enemies and harm eight hundred, which is meaningless at all!"

"And you are destroying the business model that the food delivery platform has worked so hard to build for a long time! It is a shameful behavior that does not abide by market rules at all!"

"Hehe, are you really in a hurry?" Cao Xingyu smiled and asked:

"What does it mean not to abide by market rules?"

"Oh, in your eyes, your Mei Tuan is the market rule, right?"

"Everyone has to play according to the rules you set?"

"Is it shameful not to comply?"

"It's ridiculous!"

"Young man, you are digging your own grave!" Yuan Delun said lightly.

At this moment, he had calmed down from the shock just now.

He was a little panicked by the sudden and surprising news before.

In fact, after calming down and thinking about it now, it is actually not as serious as imagined.

After a pause, Yuan Delun continued:

"You use this trick to snatch merchants, even if you snatch all merchants to your platform, what's the use?"

"Under the permanent 1% commission, it is impossible to adjust this commission ratio in the future, so you are destined to see no income in the future."

"With no income, what do you use to support the increasingly large traffic costs? How to support the maintenance cost of the platform? How to support the huge delivery team?"

"I have to say, your actions are really stupid!"

"Oh, really?" Cao Xingyu smiled indifferently.

For what Yuan Delun said, Cao Xingyu naturally agreed, what the other party said was very reasonable and in line with the current actual situation.

Judging from the current business model of food delivery platforms, it is indeed not far from death to cut off the income from commissions.

But, still the same sentence, if you want to break an established business model, the best way is naturally to start from the core and formulate a new rule, so as to achieve the greatest countermeasure effect.

As for the issue of profitability, Cao Xingyu is not in a hurry.

With the support of system subsidies, there is still a lot of time left for him.

He can wait until he has monopolized the market, and then slowly explore a new business model and it will not be too late.

This is where Cao Xingyu's confidence lies.

He couldn't believe it, the food delivery platform really only had a commission-based business model?

"You guys are just speeding up your own death rate! Why bother!" Yuan Delun sighed and said with a smile:

"Do you think that the existence of a business model can be established at will?"

"There is a reason for such a high commission. If you want to maintain the normal operation of the platform, you must do this. This is the correct business model that was established after a long period of exploration."

"If you break this rule, it will damage the ecology of the entire food delivery field!"

"Combining the cost invested in your previous pre-store, plus this 1% commission, when a large number of merchants flood into your platform, there will be a surge in users, orders, etc. All of these aspects need related support. Support, such as technology, delivery, server broadband traffic, etc., this is not a small expense!"

"So many holes need to be filled, but there is no benefit. Aren't you just looking for death?"

"Can't you understand such a simple truth?"

"Thank you Mr. Yuan for your kind reminder." Cao Xingyu smiled, he probably understood Yuan Delun's thoughts.

The other party is not optimistic about this model, which is obvious.

And the other party can say so much, of course, it can't be out of kindness.

After all, the two sides are now on opposite sides, so how could they give you an opinion?

Therefore, the real purpose of the other party saying so much is nothing more than to dissuade the 1% commission of the Shiwang brand.

Because of this subversive move, the damage to the existing business model of the food delivery platform is too great!

Especially for those merchants who have accepted high commissions, it will completely change their attitude towards high commissions!

The potential impact would be considerable!

It might even cause a wave of public opinion!

"It seems that you really don't hit the south wall and don't look back. This time, you have made me deeply understand the true meaning of the saying 'you can't live without self-inflicted crimes'. This trip is worthwhile, haha." Seeing Cao Xingyu After seeing Xie Qing's attitude, Yuan Delun took another look at Xie Qing, and seeing that the latter also had a nonchalant attitude, he understood completely, and said:

"It seems that you are trying to drag us Mei Tuan into the water before you die this time."

"If you have this kind of calculation, then I can only tell you that you are overthinking."

"Permanent 1% commission, we will definitely not follow up."

"At worst, the market in Sansha City will be given over to you first."

"I want to see how long you can last."

"Ah."

After a final sneer, Yuan Delun lost interest in continuing the conversation, got up directly, and walked towards the door of the conference room.

Seeing this, several other Meituan employees quickly followed.

"I want to see how long I can hold on," Cao Xingyu muttered:

"Then you may die without seeing the result."

As soon as he walked out of Shunjie Building, Yuan Delun immediately called Wang Xing, CEO of Meituan, and gave a complete report on the situation here.

"Is there such a thing?" Wang Xing couldn't help being stunned after listening to Yuan Delun's report.

Whether it is Shiwang Group's tough attitude towards its own stores, or reserve stores, or some permanent 1% commission.

Any one of these things was completely beyond Wang Xing's expectations, he never thought that this would be the case in the end.

"What exactly does the Xie Group want to play?" Wang Xing murmured:

"How much money do you have to invest in this way? The key is that you can't see any future at all! When did the Xie Group's investment style become like this? There is no rules at all!"

"Mr. Wang, I think we can ignore this Shiwang Group, this company is full of lunatics!" Yuan Delun expressed his thoughts:

"They are investing wildly in all aspects regardless of cost, but they can't see any stable and high revenue points. In this case, they will definitely end up with huge losses and bankruptcy!"

"Don't care?" Wang Xing pursed his lips and muttered, "It's indeed a good choice to not care."

Undoubtedly, the Shiwang brand may not look very good now, but this is a situation that is only exchanged on the basis of giving up huge profits.

From the store's uncharacteristically operating measures, to the input of various labor costs, to an additional 10% increase in the acquisition of stores, and even the entry of merchants, etc.

Pick out any one thing, as long as you are a normal person, you can see the problem.

That is, there is no profit point in sight!

It has to be supported by a steady stream of funds!

To put it bluntly, the Shiwang brand is now a castle in the air, the kind that will collapse immediately as soon as the funds are cut off!

Wang Xing naturally saw something wrong at a glance, but...

"We have to give up the takeaway market in Beicheng District, Sansha City," Wang Xing sighed.

If the 1% commission measure is not followed up, or similar subsidy measures are not introduced, the loss of the takeaway market in Beicheng District is almost a certainty.

"Mr. Wang, the other party has resorted to such tricks that harm others and benefit oneself. In fact, we have no way to stop this." Yuan Delun continued:

"After all, it is impossible for us to reduce the commission. Even if it is reduced, it will not be reduced by 1%. The key is the permanent 1%!"

"What's more, if we really introduce this measure in Sansha City, it will cause a shock to our huge national market!"

"What will merchants in other cities think when they know about this?"

"At that time, there will be no way to explain and appease!"

"It also completely disrupts our current model!"

"Therefore, the market in Sansha City might as well just give up temporarily and let them toss first!"

"Let them fend for themselves!"

"As long as we wait for a long time, in fact, we don't need to take action at all, and they will naturally collapse. Their model cannot last long! The faster they expand, the faster they die!"

"Could it be that Xie's Group can still sell all their assets and throw them all on this matter?"

"Impossible!"

"So I think it's not worthwhile to spend too much energy on such a short-term model!"

"This is also my opinion, the best way to deal with it at present."

Hearing this, Wang Xing responded:

"What you said is indeed very reasonable."

"However, this matter has to be discussed in a long-term way. Since the Xie Group dares to do this, it makes no sense that they can't understand such a simple truth, right? Looking for a dead end? Burning too much money?"

"It shouldn't be."

"Although I haven't had in-depth contact with the Xie Group, it is impossible for such a large enterprise that has grown gradually after nearly 30 years of development to make such an obvious fatal mistake."

"I feel that there may be some unknown secrets behind it"

"Okay, I'll discuss this matter with Lao Li first, you can go back to the company first."

"Okay." Hearing this, Yuan Delun nodded in response.

As for Mr. Wang's remarks, Yuan Delun disagreed.

Such an obvious thing, what other secrets can there be?

There is a permanent 1% rake, can you still play well?

Obviously, Yuan Delun thinks Mr. Wang's worries are a bit unnecessary.

However, he naturally wouldn't talk too much, just express his thoughts clearly.

After Yuan Delun and his party left.

Cao Xingyu arranged for the signing of new lease contracts with the four landlords.

With the signing of the new contract, the incident of the Meituan scrambling for the store has come to an end.

Cao Xingyu is quite satisfied with the final result.

Except for not creating a few stores with sky-high rents, all other strategic goals in his plan were successfully achieved.

If there is no accident, Meituan should not have any extra thoughts about Shiwang brand stores in the near future.

And judging from Yuan Delun's performance, there is a high probability that Mei Tuan will not make any moves in the near future.

Meituan should be thinking of letting their Shiwang Group fend for itself.

After all, Shiwang Group's current stalls are getting bigger and bigger, and the costs in various aspects are also getting higher and higher.

The key problem is that there is no visible profit point!

In this situation, any normal person can make an accurate judgment.

Or to be precise, the emergence of any new business model cannot be accepted and recognized in the early stage.

Just like when 360 launched free antivirus software back then, those former giants in the field of antivirus software also took it as a joke, thinking that this road is simply nonsense, and there is no profit point at all, how can they survive?

Everyone thinks that 360 is just messing around, and it won't last long!

In this regard, none of the giants in the anti-virus field took any action, and all wanted to wait for 360 to fend for itself.

But it ended up slapping everyone in the face.

And when they realized later that they wanted to follow up, it was too late, the market was completely controlled by 360, and after monopolizing the market, 360 naturally began to explore new profit models, and it was still alive. Quite moisturizing.

In the early years, it was even one of the existences in China that could challenge penguins.

The 3Q battle was a national sensation.

Looking back, Cao Xingyu actually prepared for the worst.

That is, even if Mei Tuan really followed up on the 1% rake, he was actually not panicked at all, and had already prepared a backup.

As for what kind of backhand it is, whether this backhand can be used depends on the follow-up Meituan's reaction.

After solving this matter, Cao Xingyu exchanged pleasantries with Xie Qing for a while, and then returned to his office.

Before sitting for a long time, Liu Ting pushed the door in from the outside, walked to the desk, and reported:

"Mr. Cao, good news!"
