Chapter 439: Miss the summer of 2013! Kuai Pao canteen, pass the first-class line, 10,000 per year!
The next morning, Zhou Hongyi announced that 360's search market share had exceeded 15%, ranking third in the industry, only after Lingxi and Qiandu.
The ranking dropped, but the market share increased.
Originally, netizens were still curious about the market share of Lingxi and Qiandu, and CNZZ followed suit and released its monitoring data.
Qiandu 43.9%, Lingxi 21.3%, 360 Search 15.1%, Sogou 7.7%, Penguin 1.6%. Compared with before the war, Qiandu Search's market share has dropped by more than 20%.
Senlian Capital and 360 were the most ruthless. They not only snatched business, but also did not let go of the other party's advertising agents, resulting in a sharp drop in Qiandu's revenue.
Although Sogou and Penguin did not contribute much, they took advantage of the opportunity to reap a lot of benefits, and their market share increased slightly.
Qiandu's frequent failures in its core business areas have caused complaints from investors holding shares. Some of the shareholders who were trapped were not polite at all and directly tagged Li Yanhong on the social platform and cursed him by name.
"RNM! Pay me back!"
"You're giving up your search business and are determined to challenge Senlian Capital. It would be fine if you could win, but do you have the strength to do so?"
"You're using my money to support your food delivery, group buying and online car-hailing projects? Damn it, you're spending all your father's hard-earned money!"
Li Yanhong was scolded, but he didn't dare to talk back.
After all, Qiandu did lose the market, and its O2O strategy did not make any progress, causing investors to lose money.
But once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back, and the competition between Qiandu and Senlian Capital continues.
Zhang Yiming copied identical products such as Qiandu's Q&A, Encyclopedia, and Tieba, with the aim of replacing them.
Zhou Hongyi was naturally even more impolite and simply copied the content from Baidu and copied it to 360 Search.
Li Yanhong was so angry that he started cursing and immediately asked the legal department to sue Senlian Capital and 360.
But as he himself once said, the spirit of the Internet is free and sharing.
Apart from allowing Baidu to gain some advantage in public opinion, this lawsuit poses no threat to Chen Yansen and Zhou Hongyi.
What successful company doesn’t have thousands of lawsuits?
I'm not afraid of you!
Therefore, as soon as CNZZ's industry data was released, Qiandu's stock price fell.
Investors on the other side of the ocean cursed and insulted Li Yanhong's ancestors for eighteen generations.
Soon after, the news that Kuaipaomaicai was entering the South China market spread like wildfire.
At this point, Kuaipao’s takeaway, group buying and grocery shopping businesses have covered most of China.
While competing with Gong Zhenbing, Wang Zhongpu and Xiang Hailong, Pei Yi did not slow down the pace of expansion. The team size grew larger and the number of employees increased.
Half an hour later, the mini comedy "Never Expected" jointly produced by Douyin and Wanhe Tianyi officially started broadcasting.
In other words, Tik Tok adjusted the original 15-second short video rule to a maximum of 15 minutes. This change greatly increased the space for creators to display their talents.
"Hello everyone, my name is Wang Dachui, I once won the Central Plains Region Mantis Shrimp Most Perfect Shelling Award, do you admire me?"
"I have no regrets in my life. Thinking back to that afternoon when I was running under the setting sun, that was my lost youth."
"It won't be long before I get a promotion and a raise, become the general manager, become the CEO, marry a beautiful, wealthy woman, and reach the pinnacle of life. I'm a little excited just thinking about it."
"Never Expected" and short videos seem to be a natural fit. After only two episodes were released, it received more than 10 million views and more than 1 million likes in just half an hour.
Wanhe Tianyi originally planned to cooperate with Youku, but Liang Bo’s conditions were too generous. In addition, given Mimo’s influence overseas, after weighing the pros and cons, they finally chose Douyin.
This type of silly short drama is very suitable for advertising placement and can bring huge traffic to products such as Kuaipao, Kuaidi Dache, Gaode and Lingxi Browser.
On the last day of mid-June, "Never Expected" and Douyin became fond memories for countless people.
At the same time, the internet hit song "The Fox's Howl" became a huge hit, and a large number of cover or lip-syncing videos appeared on Douyin and Mimo.
"Tiny Times" box office exceeded 400 million.
"So Young" grossed over 700 million yuan at the box office.
"No Regrets" directed by Han Han has entered the preparation stage.
Penguin Video has won the exclusive broadcasting rights for the NBA.
Momo’s user base exceeds 80 million.
The number of Changba users has exceeded 100 million.
In the summer of 2013, as the mobile Internet era became increasingly lively, the sharing economy also began to prevail.
Wang Xin took Wang Huiwen, Shen Peng and others to leave Meituan headquarters and bid farewell to the group buying industry completely.
That day, they walked into an office building in Yanjing and put up a sign that read "Group Buying Loan."
As the name suggests, it is a group buying website in the P2P industry.
If two, three or more people form a group to take out a loan, they can also lower the interest rate.
…
…
"I will no longer contact you, I hope you don't mind
Blame it on not being together in the first place
And you are relatively satisfied with the present situation, so there is no reason for me to stay..."
Chen Yansen was sitting in the back seat of Ghost, watching Douyin short videos. Compared with Mimo, the content was relatively conservative, far from what would happen more than a decade later, with a big bomb every three seconds and a borderline every five steps.
This year, everything is flourishing and full of vitality, and the economy is developing rapidly.
College students can easily find a job as soon as they graduate, their travel expenses will be reimbursed for interviews, and they will receive a new employee gift package when they start working. As long as they change jobs, their salary can easily increase by 30%.
The army of entrepreneurs is huge, and everyone thinks they can buy a car in three years, a house in five years, and make millions in ten years.
On the edge?
Even dogs won’t do it!
After a while, the car stopped at Zhuxianzhuang Science and Technology Park. Chen Yansen stepped out of the car and walked towards the office building.
"Boss, Mr. Wang from Homemade Chicken has arrived and is in the lounge area."
Tian Tian smiled slightly and reminded softly.
Chen Yansen nodded and turned around, and saw Wang Xueting talking to a middle-aged man in his early forties.
Then he walked forward slowly!
When Wang Zhe saw the young man at the door, he quickly stood up, took the initiative to greet him, and said with a big smile on his face, "Hello, Mr. Chen."
Although he is the deputy general manager of Lao Xiangji, he is ultimately just a senior white-collar worker, and his status is far inferior to Chen Yansen.
Even if the founder of Lao Xiang Ji comes in person, he has to respectfully call him "Mr. Chen".
Of course, with Su Congxuan's identity, it was difficult for him to meet Pei Yi, let alone Chen Yansen.
After all, Kuaipao is the largest takeout and group-buying platform in the country, and has a strong influence and control over restaurant chains such as Lao Xiangji.
"Please sit down!" Chen Yansen said in a flat tone.
After saying that, he pulled over a chair and sat opposite Wang Zhe.
"I have read your resume and believe in your abilities, but the business models of Kuaipao Canteen and Lao Xiangji are different. I position it as an employee and community canteen, and employees should come first. Do you understand?" Chen Yansen said.
The last time he went to Yanjing, he noticed that it was not very convenient for the Yunsu couriers and Kuaipao takeaway drivers to eat, so he came up with the concept of the Kuaipao canteen.
Firstly, it can provide employees of local branches with a place to eat, shelter from rain and summer heat; secondly, it can increase employment opportunities and open up new ways to obtain humanitarian support.
A Kuaipao canteen requires at least a store manager, waiters, cashiers, food servers, cutters and chefs, totaling about 20 people.
If 1,000 stores are opened across the country, another 20,000 employees can be added.
"Mr. Chen, I have worked at Lao Xiang Ji for four years and at Nan Cheng Xiang for six years. I am very good at supply chain management and team management. I am familiar with the cost of ingredients and labor costs in various places, and I have my own practical experience in improving profitability."
Wang Zhe replied immediately.
Although Kuaipao Canteen is essentially just a dining area for employees of Senlian Capital, Chen Yansen mentioned the plan of opening 1,000 stores right away, which is much larger than Lao Xiangji.
You have to know that in 2013, Lao Xiang Ji only had 280 stores.
The position he interviewed for was ostensibly the general manager of Kuapao’s canteen business, but in reality it was the canteen manager of Senlian Capital.
Although this title doesn't sound good, the future and money prospects are not bad.
Wang Zhe didn't hesitate at all. He took two days off and rushed to Xucheng.
Chen Yansen casually asked a few professional questions, such as what is the approximate proportion of food ingredients, labor, water and electricity in the store's cost structure? How to balance "standardized service" and "personalized needs"?
Wang Zhe's answers were all correct, his logic was clear, and his solutions were very down-to-earth.
It can be seen that the other party's methodology is honed and summarized in work, and he is a real doer.
Both of my previous work experiences were in the chain catering industry.
"Have you agreed on the starting time?" Chen Yansen asked again.
"The first of next month." Wang Xueting added.
"Welcome to join Senlian." Chen Yansen extended his right hand to show welcome.
"Thank you, boss." Wang Zhe smiled, knowing that he had been hired.
In fact, he has gone through two rounds of interviews. Pei Yi and Wang Xueting have had in-depth communication with him and both highly recognize his work ability and project experience.
After confirmation, Wang Zhe's resume was pushed to Chen Yansen.
This final interview was personally supervised by Chen Yansen. With his strong mental strength, he could easily see the other party's true thoughts at the moment and then judge whether to hire him.
Of course, people’s minds are fickle, and the current status of a candidate does not represent what they will be like in three or five years.
Chen Yansen said a few words, then entered the elevator and came to the office.
He took a jar of tea from the tea cabinet. In the corner there was a pair of light grey gloves, lying there alone.
Mr. Chen took a glance and suddenly remembered that he would be able to check his college entrance examination scores in two days.
He pondered for a few seconds, turned on his computer, and created a chat group.
"@沛毅@廖威@曹达华For couriers, food delivery drivers and factory workers below the supervisor level, if their children's college entrance examination scores are above the first-tier line, they will be rewarded 10,000 yuan per year for up to four years; if their children's college entrance examination scores are above the second-tier line, they will be rewarded 3,000 yuan per year."
Chen Yansen ordered.
"Boss, can a deliveryman who has just joined the company and has not yet been converted to a regular employee enjoy this benefit?" Pei Yi asked.
“I’ve been working here for three months.” Chen Yansen added.
"Okay, boss!" Pei Yi, Liao Wei and Cao Dahua responded in unison.
This policy soon spread across the country through the group's intranet.
As for employees at the supervisor level and above, their income is already high, so there is no need to give them bonuses.
…
…
"Brother Zhou, how are your kid's grades?"
On Yishan Road, in the open space at the entrance of Guangqi City, several Kuaipao deliverymen were chatting together after finishing their lunch rush hour.
"I don't expect the annual reward of 10,000 yuan. There are 46 people in the class and he ranks 27th. When he took his report card home yesterday, his mother rewarded him with a meal of fried pork with a belt on the spot."
Li Zhou waved his hands and sighed.
"Boys usually start to show their strength in middle school. He is only in elementary school, so there is no need to rush."
"You can't say that. If your foundation is not solid, how can you make progress in junior high school? You should save money and spend money. Enroll your eldest nephew in a tutoring class."
The colleagues nearby discussed this with a smile.
"Brother Cheng, isn't your daughter taking the college entrance examination this year?" Li Zhou turned and looked at another rider.
"I don't know yet. My daughter said she has to wait until the day after tomorrow at noon to check the score." Xu Jiacheng said with his head tilted.
As he spoke, his hands moved uncontrollably. The movement was very slight, but one could tell at a glance that his body was different from that of an ordinary person.
He was in his forties, his face was sunburned, and although he could not hide his fatigue, his eyes were full of smiles.
"If you can reach the first-tier score line, you can get an extra 10,000 yuan bonus every year, and Brother Cheng will feel a lot more relaxed." Li Zhou replied.
He paused and said, "Brother Cheng, I have 200 yuan here. It's not much, but it's just a token of my appreciation."
"Brother Zhou, I can't accept it." Xu Jiacheng shook his head.
He is a patient with mild cerebral palsy. Apart from his limb incoordination and stuttering, he is not stupid. When he was young, he looked 30% like Harlem Yu.
This is also the main reason why he can get married and have children like normal people.
Xu Jiacheng used to work in a shoe factory. After the factory closed down last year, he heard that he could make money by delivering food, so he joined Kuaipao.
He doesn't know how to use a smartphone, can't understand electronic navigation, and can't speak clearly.
The webmaster originally wanted to fire him, but thanks to Li Zhou's efforts, he was given a three-month probation period.
Li Zhou taught Xu Jiacheng personally. He called Xu Jiacheng "Brother Cheng" and Xu Jiacheng also called him "Brother Zhou".
Although he works very hard and can only deliver about 40 orders a day, Xu Jiacheng still earns around 6,000 yuan a month, which is much better than when he worked in the factory.
"If Nannan passes the first-tier line, do you want the boss's reward?" Li Zhou asked with a straight face.
"I'm not stupid." Xu Jiacheng said with a smile.
"That's it! You want what the boss gives you, but you don't want what I give you? Do you look down on me?" Li Zhou asked.
"Brother Zhouzhou, I want to support myself." Xu Jiacheng waved his hand.
"Okay, this is for Nannan, not for you, so accept it." Li Zhou forced the red envelope of two hundred yuan into Xu Jiacheng's hand.
Xu Jiacheng had no choice but to thank him repeatedly.
“Brother Cheng, if you accept Brother Zhou’s red envelope and don’t accept mine, you are not giving me face.”
"Yes, Brother Cheng!"
The remaining few Kuaipao riders took out red envelopes without saying a word and forced them into Xu Jiacheng's pocket.
This was something they had discussed in advance.
Under Chen Yansen's control, the monthly income of Kuapao's full-time riders can basically reach 8,000 to 9,000 yuan. A single king like Li Zhou can earn more than 10,000 yuan per month.
With a high income and a secure life, Li Zhou and his friends were not stingy in showing kindness to others.
"Thank you, Brother Zhou, and thank you everyone." Xu Jiacheng's mouth corners turned down and his eyes suddenly turned red.
