The next morning at nine o'clock, Chen Ze arrived at Panda Takeaway Company and instructed Shen Xiyu, who was busy at work, "Secretary Shen, please inform the senior management to hold the annual meeting in the conference room ahead of schedule."
"Yes, boss."
Shen Xiyu turned and left the office, then notified the management team one by one to hold the annual meeting.
Soon, the management teams from various departments took their seats in the meeting room.
Once everyone had arrived, Chen Ze walked in with confident and steady steps and sat down in the main seat.
"Cough cough!"
He cleared his throat and then said, "There are only seven days left until the Chinese New Year. I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year in advance."
"Slap, slap, slap..."
A round of applause erupted in the conference room.
Chen Ze raised both hands flat and then pressed them down slightly.
Everyone immediately stopped clapping.
Chen Ze held up one finger: "First of all, the riders will not have a holiday during the Spring Festival this year. The price per order will increase by three yuan during the Spring Festival. Two yuan of the three yuan will be borne by the consumers, and the other yuan will be subsidized by the company."
Then Chen Ze held up two fingers.
"The second thing is: starting now, a nationwide ranking system will be implemented for riders based on positive reviews and order volume. The riders will be ranked according to the number of orders received and the number of positive reviews. The first place rider will be awarded 30,000 yuan, the second place rider will be awarded 20,000 yuan, the third place rider will be awarded 10,000 yuan, the fourth place rider will be awarded 5,000 yuan, the fifth place rider will be awarded 3,000 yuan, and the sixth to twentieth places riders will be awarded 1,000 yuan."
After saying that, he picked up his cup and took a sip of coffee. Shen Xiyu then placed a document in front of him.
Chen Ze picked up the document and continued, "The third thing is that our company is currently competing with Ele.me. We have been engaged in a price war with them for the past few months, which has resulted in a loss of 720 million RMB for our company."
At this moment, Wang Kaicheng on the left raised his hand and spoke: "Boss, we've lost so much money, when does the company plan to start a financing plan?"
Wang Kaicheng proposed financing because his company was currently out of money, while Ele.me was receiving so much funding, which made him somewhat anxious.
Chen Ze said calmly, "Financing that is beneficial to the company's development is acceptable, but we do not need funds that only invest money without contributing any effort, because our company is not short of money at the moment."
Wang Kaicheng knew that Gray Wolf Investment on the 23rd floor belonged to the boss, but he didn't know how much money Gray Wolf Investment Company actually had. He guessed that Chen Ze was a member of a powerful family, and his family had given him several hundred million yuan to start a business and test the waters.
Only Chen Ze's financial officer, Wang Siyu, knew how much money was in Chen Ze's account; no one else had any idea.
At this moment, HR Manager Lai raised his hand and said, "Boss, all of our skilled and experienced finance staff have been taken away by General Manager Wang of Grey Wolf Company. Do we still need to recruit a finance administrator?"
"If we need to recruit, it's my idea to transfer out the finance staff. Recently, Grey Wolf Investment has invested in several promising companies, and we've put a lot of money into them. So we need to send a finance officer to each company to supervise them. The finance staff we recruit must be from Guangdong Province. That's my requirement."
"Boss, I've always recruited people according to your requirements," Manager Lai said.
Chen Ze nodded in satisfaction.
Chen Ze looked at everyone and continued, "The fourth thing is that the company plans to launch a new business segment that combines local specialty food recommendations. We will collaborate with time-honored restaurants in various regions to create exclusive set meals. This will not only increase the uniqueness of our platform but also allow those traditional delicacies to receive more promotion."
The senior executives all nodded in approval of the plan. Zhang, the marketing manager, said, "Boss, it's indeed a great idea, but the initial advertising costs will probably be substantial."
Chen Ze smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements for publicity. I've already contacted several influential self-media bloggers who will help promote the first phase of the event for free."
Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of surprise and admiration.
Chen Ze stood up and concluded, "In short, let's all work together to do our job well. Although we face many challenges, as long as we continue to innovate and actively respond to competition..."
Chen Ze looked at Li Ziming and praised him: "Minister Li, your technical department has performed exceptionally well this year. I am very satisfied and have decided to award each member of the Network Technology Department a bonus of 10,000 yuan."
The network technology department currently has only seven people. We've added two top-notch hackers to prevent hackers from deliberately damaging the company network. Network security is extremely important, and we're paying them very high salaries.
Li Ziming stood up happily: "Boss is so generous. Our department has already started developing the 3.0 version of the APP."
He gestured downwards to indicate that he could sit down.
Yun Ruoxi raised her hand to speak.
"Boss, our market research shows that most merchants prefer to cooperate with Panda Takeout. Ele.me is being constantly squeezed out by us. Their market share has not decreased, but it has increased very little."
"Very good, Mr. Yun. I hope you can keep it up. Even if you can't kill him, you have to keep Ele.me under control and do everything you can to stop them from growing taller."
Yun Ruoxi smiled charmingly: "Boss, our number of merchants and users is increasing, and it's already 1.5 times that of Ele.me."
Chen Ze nodded in satisfaction after hearing this.
“Everyone has done a great job, but we can’t be complacent. I have an idea for the future: we should launch a care program for our riders, since they are the backbone of our company.”
Everyone looked at him curiously, anticipating what he would say next.
"We will set up some offline rider stations, equipped with basic medical facilities and electric vehicle charging services, to prevent their electric vehicles from suddenly running out of power while delivering food, thus affecting delivery time," Chen Ze said, looking around.
Marketing manager Zhang asked, "Boss, this is another considerable expense."
Chen Ze smiled and said, "The company will bear part of the initial construction costs. In addition, we can seek some partners, such as sports drink brands or pharmaceutical companies, to share the costs through advertising placements."
Everyone suddenly realized what was going on and couldn't help but admire the boss's business acumen.
"This matter will be handled by General Manager Yun and Supervisor Liu to coordinate and advance. Let's adjourn the meeting here for today. I hope everyone will implement the decisions as soon as possible."
After speaking, Chen Ze took the lead and walked out of the conference room. The other senior executives also left with their respective tasks, ready to work hard to welcome the New Year.
In the afternoon, Panda Delivery posted a notice stating that office staff would be given a holiday in three days, and employees who wished to stay at the company would receive triple pay during the Chinese New Year period.
This announcement only generated a lot of discussion, but in reality, very few employees were willing to stay.
After all, who wouldn't want to spend a comfortable and happy New Year at home? But some are also very interested in the triple pay and are considering whether to stay.
