Chapter 627 Taking advantage of
the situation At the end of the semester, some people confessed their love, some broke up, and some left early.
Fan Shuling received news from her graduate supervisor that she was called to Kyoto in advance because there was a shortage of staff and she was asked to go and help with the work.
Cai Fang decided to go home to tutor her sister who was about to take the college entrance examination. Yang Min went to Shanghai, which was closer to home, to prepare for the civil service examination while running for interviews at various companies.
Before leaving, 503 had another meal together.
The rich young lady cried for a long time, and Jiang Qin coaxed her for a long time.
As for 302, Ren Ziqiang planned to take a graduation trip with Wang Linlin, while Chaozi stayed in the dormitory reading pirated online novels he bought on Taobao every day, forgetting to eat and sleep.
Because Ding Xue was in Linchuan and Master Cao couldn't move away for the time being, he just lay down in the dormitory, playing a sneaky sniper in the game all day, and then was killed in a spectacular manner. He relied on takeout for three meals a day.
"Lao Cao, Chaozi, I suggest you don't eat takeout from Ele.me for the time being."
"Why?"
Jiang Qin said as he lifted the dumbbells left by Ren Ziqiang: "Their takeout is not clean. I'm afraid you will have a psychological trauma."
After listening to this, Cao Guangyu twisted his mouth and said: "This is unfair competition. You are actually smearing your competitors."
"If you don't listen to the advice of the elderly, you will suffer the consequences."
"I would like to use group ordering for takeout, but you won't let us use coupons."
Jiang Qin put the dumbbells on the ground with a click. "Is it easy for me to make some money? As my roommate, you are still taking advantage of me!"
Cao Guangyu clicked on the food page of Ele.Bu and said, "I have decided that before I graduate, I will live on Ele.Bu. No one can stop me."
"Don't order it. Let's go to the cafeteria. Even though the food tastes a bit ordinary, you won't be able to eat it after you graduate."
"Then...then let's go to the cafeteria."
Cao Guangyu turned over and got out of bed, patting Chaozi who was still sleeping in.
Zhou Chao read online novels all night yesterday and is still sleepy. It took him a long time to recover after being woken up by the young master. He was completely dazed.
"Let's go to the cafeteria and eat."
"I'll just order takeout..."
"Mr. Jiang doesn't allow takeout!"
The three of them packed up, dressed neatly and left the dormitory, while Jiang Qin was carrying a large travel bag in his hand.
Master Cao took a look and asked: "What is this for?"
"The little rich woman wants to do my laundry."
"?"
"I don't know either. She just said she wanted to do some laundry for me and asked me to find some old clothes and send them to her."
Jiang Qin shook the bag in her hand, remembering that Feng Nanshu called her yesterday and said she wanted to wash his clothes. This seemingly well-behaved girl actually had a lot on her mind.
After listening to him, Cao Guangyu looked at him and said, "Oh, I understand. Last night, there was a post on the forum that went viral. It was called the little things you must do when you are in a relationship at university. It also said that if you haven't done these things, you are not considered to have learned to fall in love. One of the things is to wash clothes for the person you like."
"Damn, I treat her as a friend, but she...she actually wants my body?!" Jiang Qin showed a shocked expression.
“…”
"Lao Jiang, your acting is so fake."
After the three of them had their meal in the cafeteria, Cao Guangyu and Zhou Chao went to the college supermarket to buy things, while Jiang Qin strolled to the girls' dormitory.
Feng Nanshu and Gao Wenhui were waiting for him downstairs. They took the opportunity to touch a stray student in the school and fed him a piece of sausage.
The little rich woman kept asking it questions like whether it had a brother and whether its brother doted on it.
"It looks like a male cat." Gao Wenhui reminded.
"?"
The little rich woman was stunned for a while, and then changed her question to asking questions like whether it has a sister, and whether its sister is clingy.
Then Jiang Qin came to the girls' dormitory with his bag, and when he saw the rich young lady running over, he took the clothes from her.
Jiang Qin looked at her: "Why did you suddenly remember to wash my clothes?"
Feng Nanshu shook his head and said, "I saw a post called "Little Things Good Friends Must Do in College". They said good friends must wash clothes for good friends. I haven't done any yet."
"Those are obviously the little things that college lovers must do!" Gao Wenhui barked in the back.
“Make friends!”
"in love."
"Wenhui, your phone is broken."
Feng Nanshu made a reasonable judgment in an instant, and then pulled her upstairs, fearing that she would say something he wanted to hear again.
Three minutes later, Jiang Qin received a photo of Feng Nanshu helping him wash clothes in the dormitory.
The picture is filled with diffused sunlight. The rich young woman with her hair tied in a ponytail is scrubbing herself carefully in a basin of water. Her long eyelashes are stained by the morning light, and her delicate little face seems to be surrounded by a halo.
You can't use more accurate words to describe her, you just feel that the picture is so beautiful that it doesn't seem like a human world.
Jiang Qin stood under the sycamore tree in the girls' dormitory and clicked on the picture and looked at it for a long time.
That cold, refined rich girl, the goddess of the south city, is washing her own clothes...
"Don't order takeout when you're hungry these days."
"Why?"
Jiang Qin told many people he knew during this period that they should not use the "Ele.me" delivery service for the time being. Then, within a day, news about "Ele.me" popped up like mushrooms after rain during that period.
[The merchants that are not popular on Hungry are actually unlicensed small workshops, and their hygiene conditions are worrying]
[A "food den" is hidden in residential buildings. Where does the takeaway you ordered come from?]
[Hungry but not hungry takeaway worker said he would never eat takeaway, exposing food safety risks]
[High-definition pictures of the merchant's kitchen, showing the "deadly takeaway"]
[Hungry shop photos are fake, and merchants can upload them at will! 】
Cao Guangyu had just finished playing a game at night and was about to use his phone to order takeout when he looked at the picture in the headline news and suddenly let out a strange cry.
There were ingredients placed next to the trash can, a kitchen counter surrounded by flies, and a greasy operation room...
"Damn, why isn't takeout so dirty when you're hungry?!"
Seeing his shocked expression, Jiang Qin also turned serious: "I used my fingers to calculate the time because I was hungry these days. I knew something big was going to happen, but I didn't expect it to be so accurate."
Cao Guangyu glanced at him: "?"
The money-burning war in the food delivery industry has just subsided for less than a week, and Ele.me is still racking its brains to find ways to quickly capture more market share without burning money.
No one expected something like this to happen, and everyone was stunned.
As a result, after the news broke, the entire company was in chaos.
Many users of Ele.Bu were dumbfounded. They never expected that the food they eat every day would be produced in such a filthy environment.
Hungry immediately refuted the rumor online, saying it was a rumor, an absolute rumor, and then mobilized all manpower and resources to start looking for the store exposed in the news.
"Have you checked? Is it our merchant?"
"yes……"
"You dare to sign an unlicensed business? Are you crazy?"
Chen Jiaxin was so furious that she scolded Dai Qing, the marketing manager.
Dai Qing took a deep breath and said, "Boss Chen, the boss has set such a high KPI. We need to develop thousands of merchants in a mature market. If we fail to achieve it, we will be fired. There is nothing we can do about it!"
"Where did the photos of those illegal shops come from? Except for the different signs, the interior environment, kitchen environment and operating tables are almost the same!"
Chen Jiaxin held the information and asked a series of questions.
Some of those shops are located in old houses, and some are located in dark alleys. There is no dine-in environment at all, and they don’t even have a proper sign.
However, from the business profile of Ele.Buy, one can see the exquisite storefront and spacious and bright lobby.
Dai Qing swallowed his saliva and said, "We...we asked someone to help us do it."
Public opinion suddenly arose, and the entire Internet was discussing this matter. People were deeply concerned about food safety issues. Even big Vs came to take advantage of the popularity and started to popularize food safety.
“Where did the photo come from?”
“It should be group takeout.”
Zhang Xuhao was stunned: "Are they crazy? It's not just us who are hungry that will be affected, the whole market will be affected."
After listening to this, Yang Xueyu looked at Zhang Xuhao and said, "Boss, group buying can afford it, but we can't. When the market is hit, they have enough profit points, so in the food delivery market, they can kill us with less money."
"?"
"Users don't eat takeout, but even if they buy groceries, they buy them in their community group purchases and offline stores. In addition, the Internet has a short memory, and the takeout market will pick up. If group buying takes advantage of the industry's low period to snipe us, when the market picks up, the gap in market share between our two companies will become larger and larger."
At this moment, the employee in charge of monitoring group-buying takeout knocked on Zhang Xuhao's office door and said, "Boss, group-buying is starting to burn money again."
"Damn it, taking advantage of the fire!"
Again, Jiang Qin thinks that simply spending money to burn the market is stupid behavior, and the key is how to ensure that the users who are burned will stay.
The core of competition in the takeout industry lies not only in price but also in quality.
There is no way to convince users that your product quality is good, but there is a way to convince users that the other party’s product quality is poor. This is business.
Not only is Ele.me being suppressed by public opinion now, its own development has already encountered strong resistance. In addition, group buying is spending money to grab the market. If they don’t follow suit, they will undoubtedly collapse.
There are some things that you can no longer hesitate about.
Ele.me did not follow suit. While suppressing the fermentation of public opinion, it began to retain users with discounts.
After reading the news, Alibaba's CEO Ma dropped the tablet in his hand and didn't speak for the whole afternoon.
So now Ele.me only has two choices: either don't follow and slowly lose its market share to group-buying food delivery, or follow and spend the remaining 300 million yuan to supplement his supply chain! "Damn it, why am I always one step behind him? Has he opened his eyes?"
"Boss, I think it's a rhythm issue. I don't know why, from group buying to takeout, any opponent who competes with the group buying will be led into his own rhythm."
"You're not hungry, how about now?"
“It’s time to start burning money.”
"Boss Jiang, Boss Jiang, you are forcibly reaching into my wallet!"
