Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 516: Lessons from the Past, Alliances

Q: If an employee is injured on the job, how will the company respond?

Unscrupulous companies: Leave without a sick note will be treated as personal leave and wages will be deducted! How can you prove that your injury is a work-related injury? The company will not recognize it once you leave the company.

Normal enterprises: Work injuries are treated as such, and leave is taken as such. Everything is handled according to the labor law process.

Follow-up? How could there be a follow-up? Either the situation is calm or the waves are still roaring. How could a company make a special response for an ordinary employee? Even the boss of the company might not know about this.

The other side: If you dare to bully me, I will use all the strength of our group to give you a big blow, and even dig up your ancestral graves.

On May 5st, nothing happened.

On May 5nd, the sea is peaceful and the river is clear.

It’s as if last month’s boom was just an illusion.

But Zhang Xuhao is not surprised by the current situation, as signs had already appeared as early as the end of last month.

From late April to the end of the month, the data in the daily battle report showed that the size of the enemy was gradually decreasing as time went by, so the Avengers returned in batches and now only retained half of their previous peak strength.
The battle was fierce in the first half of the month, but in the second half of the month, the Avengers no longer focused on defense. After all, if anyone dared to attack the Ele.me riders, he would no longer be a warrior, but a dead soldier.

Therefore, their main responsibility is to play the role of trouble-maker to the fullest.

These Avengers members randomly wore the work uniforms of Meituan Takeout and Baidu Takeout riders, taking framing, putting the blame on others, and fanning the flames to the extreme.

They are willing to join in the fun and sometimes even act as a third party, an enthusiastic passerby, displaying the spirit of the people of Chaoyang District, standing up for what is right when seeing injustice, assisting the police, helping to provide intelligence, and arresting criminals who disrupt public order.

In fact, at the beginning of the month, after seeing his boss's tough statement and the specific content of the "Watermelon Plan", Zhang Xuhao was already mentally prepared to go through fire and water, and even be interviewed by his superiors.

He knew very well that this food delivery war involving hundreds of millions of dollars and tens of thousands of people would inevitably have adverse effects.

But the subsequent development of the situation was unexpected: overall restraint, but local intensity, and very few reports online, as if a war without gunpowder was underway.

After the boss made a round of inspection, he eliminated some of the previous influences. Such means amazed him.

Working with such a boss, Zhang Xuhao has only one feeling, which can be described in two words: solid!

Even two days ago, Gong Zhenbing called personally to make peace. This turn of events made Zhang Xuhao sigh. You know, two years ago, the other party was a senior executive of Baidu, and he was just a college student who didn't know what the future would hold.

Every night when it was quiet, Zhang Xuhao couldn't help but shed bitter tears for the other party - why did he have to provoke the big boss? At the same time, he was secretly glad that he stood on the side of justice.

Thinking that the plan was only half executed, even he felt a little nervous about the follow-up contents. Why not set up a tablet for a certain group and a certain waiter in advance?

After Zhang Xuhao finished his mourning, his eyes returned to their coldness. In business, being kind to the enemy is being cruel to yourself, and there is never any way out in the business world.

If they were in their shoes, both Wang Xing and Gong Zhenbing would wish that Ele.me would disappear from the earth.

The boss has returned to the capital, and he should go to Beijing to meet the emperor tomorrow.

In the end, this offline food delivery war ended with one company giving up and disappearing, while the other company took the initiative to seek peace.

This real takeaway war seems to have come to an end.

But Zhang Xuhao was not carried away by this victory. He knew that this was only a victory in one battle, and the war was still going on.
On May 5, the Ele.me core team carried out preparations for the performance report in an orderly manner.

On May 5, Zhang Xuhao led the team to Beijing to report on the current three-phase preparations and apply for the transition to the third phase of the original plan: comprehensive strangulation!

On May 5, the original "Watermelon Project" preparatory group headed by Chen Mo listened to the overall report from Zhang Xuhao's team yesterday, and after a day of meetings and discussions, they made corresponding adjustments and improvements to the three-phase plan.

Through the data center, we analyze the traffic of Baidu and Meituan’s food delivery applications and find out the peak time periods of each other’s applications.

Chen Mo gave the relevant departments and personnel a week to prepare and determined the date for the final general offensive.

At the same time, Chen Mo named the third phase’s strategic goal as “Incorporate Baidu Takeaway and Focus on Meituan!”

The time for launching the general offensive is May 5, 12:11 am.

One week left!
Cheng Wei is very busy this May Day.

Last month, he heard that Ele.me and Baidu were fighting, and it was a literal fight.

Others may not know, but he knows that even if Zhang Xuhao had three thousand courages, he would not dare to compete with Baidu. This must have been with Chen Mo's approval and even his explicit and covert support.

The first reaction in his mind at that time was, Chen Mo used the sand to avoid the wind?
Then he felt a surge of ecstasy in his heart, and started fighting. He wanted to see no corpses left and blood flowing like a river.

Although Cheng Wei is in the field of online ride-hailing, his circle is the Internet circle. Everyone knows each other everywhere, and there are no secrets under the sun.

Everyone with a discerning eye knows that the food delivery market is now divided into three major players. On the surface, Ele.me seems to be the most powerful, followed by Baidu, and then Meituan.

With their respective backers, it is hard to say who will win or lose among these three companies.
But the series of developments that followed left him dumbfounded.

Even during the two days of truce, Cheng Wei also discussed the matter with several colleagues in the industry. Everyone was shocked by Bi'an's ruthless tactics. The main reason was that no one expected that Bi'an, or Chen Mo, would be so tough in protecting his child.

Just like no one could have expected that a movie could easily break 10 billion at the box office.
In the eyes of these people, it was just a few deliverymen being injured, and even if it was intentional, it was not a big deal.

To give an inappropriate example, you accidentally sneeze while shopping and scare the other person's brother. This is nothing, but soon the other person's father comes and takes out a Gatling gun from his back without saying a word and starts shooting at him. Although the Gatling gun fires BB bullets and the other person has restrained himself and no one is killed, it is inevitable that he will be beaten beyond recognition and suffer such a close attack distance and such a dense trajectory.
Another point is that the backers behind the other two companies only helped them clean up their messes and did not stand up for them.

This also made Cheng Wei fall into deep worry. Didi is backed by Tencent. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a battle between them in the next few months. Will Pony Ma stand aside and watch, or will he help? But to what extent can he support? He didn't have an answer in his heart. So Cheng Wei found that the guys on the opposite side looked at him with a slightly pitiful look. Obviously, everyone present knew that it would not only be food delivery, but also his online car-hailing business would inevitably have a battle.

It has never been Cheng Wei's style to be afraid before a battle. Once upon a time, Didi and Yaoyao Taxi, the predecessor of Didi, were both in Beijing.

At that time, he was so good at beating Wang Weijian that he couldn't find his way.

Although the other party has the powerful other side standing behind him this time, Cheng Wei has not been a pushover along the way.

But now it’s a bad start.

The taxi industry guidelines issued last year pressed the pause button on the development of the domestic online ride-hailing market. The taxi market environment has improved, but the online ride-hailing market is over. As a result, both Didi and Kuaidi have strategically shrunk their scale since the second half of last year in preparation for the winter.

However, taxi travel does the opposite. While others fear its greed, they spend the winter while others act like they are on summer vacation, wearing big vests and shorts, flip-flops, and carrying big sacks, spending money everywhere to occupy territory. There are taxi travel dens in every city where they are!
At that time, everyone in the industry laughed at them for being nouveau riche, and thought that choosing to expand at this time was simply a way to kill themselves. To maintain so many cars and people every month, the labor costs, vehicle costs, and company rental costs added up to an estimated cost of tens of millions. Even if you have money, you can't waste it like this. Within a year, the capital chain will inevitably break.

According to estimates by their data department, taxi travel has consumed at least an additional 5 million yuan in the past six months.

You have to know that the previous battles did not raise so much money in total. No need to guess, it must be the other side dad who made the move behind the scenes.

Now, no matter Didi or Kuaidi in the south, all those who were ready to laugh can no longer laugh, because there is news that the domestic online car-hailing market will be lifted, and it has only been more than half a year.
Perhaps seeing the rapid development of Uber on the other side of the ocean at the beginning of this year, Uber launched a variety of services, such as UberX (economy), UberBLACK (high-end cars), UberPOOL (carpooling), etc., to meet the needs of different users.

It has expanded globally through service innovation and has consolidated its market position in Europe, Latin America and the Middle East in addition to the United States. If it had not been afraid of China's policies, it might have entered the domestic market long ago to teach China's online car-hailing market a lesson, instead of just cultivating the Indian market and coveting another fertile ground with greater potential.

Last month, news came from overseas that Uber was about to raise $12 billion in financing, with a valuation of $180 billion.

Perhaps it is because of Uber's development prospects, or perhaps it is because the current scale of taxis runs counter to the strong demand for travel by the general public, and is also not in line with the layout of Internet+, which will seriously restrict the development of the domestic online car-hailing market economy.

The news they received was that further guiding opinions on online ride-hailing will be issued in the next one or two months. In other words, the policy will be relaxed.

They waited for it, both Didi and Kuaidi began to thaw and prepare for the arrival of "spring", but when they looked around, they saw that the market was full of wolves!
Learning from history, although the history of the takeaway war is a bit close to the present, it did give Cheng Wei some inspiration.

Before online ride-hailing services were put on hold last year, Didi, Kuaidi and Didi divided the market into three parts, each ruling its own territory.

But up to now, Didi and Kuaidi have remained stagnant, while the rapidly expanding Taxi has occupied most of the market.

The current situation is very similar to the situation in the takeout market two months ago.

Didi also reviewed the food delivery war internally and analyzed it in light of the current situation it is facing.

The conclusion is that if Didi is still fighting alone like before, and there is a fierce tiger abroad eyeing it, its chance of winning is only 3% at most. If it forms an alliance with others, it can fight!
Who could be a better ally than Kuai?

Didi's Cheng Wei thought so, and Kuaidi's Chen Weixing also understood it.

This May Day, Cheng Wei called Xiao Ma Ge, explained his ideas and plans, and received the latter's affirmation.

After the online car-hailing market was frozen, Pony Ma no longer paid attention to it. He now devotes his energy to the development of mobile games, cloud computing and other businesses.

After receiving Cheng Wei's call, he finally realized what was going on and wondered how this bastard could have taken the lead in the online car-hailing market again.

He had heard about the food delivery war last month, but it had nothing to do with him. Instead, when he saw Meituan suffer a defeat, he felt a little gloating. After all, he couldn't let his family suffer all the time.

This is equivalent to: although Tencent is always one step behind Bi'an, when other companies compete with Bi'an, their performance is even worse. Then doesn't this reflect the value of Tencent?
After all, with the previous experience of Meituan Takeout, others may not know Chen Mo, but he knows the strength of this bastard very well.

"I will immediately communicate this matter with Alibaba's CEO Ma, wait for my news"

A few minutes later, he called Lao Ma.

the other side.

When Lao Ma heard the other party's intention, he gave his answer without any hesitation, "Lian Lian Lian!"

Now he is like a gang boss. When one of his trusted followers was beaten, he took action himself, but he just cleaned the mess behind him and did nothing more.

Alibaba had previously discussed whether to personally participate in the food delivery war. Did it not want to? It was because it could not.

Because no matter which aspect, if Ali really comes out to provide any support, the other side will have a legitimate reason to impose reciprocal sanctions.

Baidu failed, but what happened to Baidu Waimai? It could only survive with subsidies, and it was not able to win at all.

So will Alibaba's support for Meituan Waimai be an exception? No one is sure, so this decision is risky, and the risk is not small after evaluation.

But this time, Xiao Ma Ge's call was different. It was like the account in the old area had been ruined, but he had gained some experience. This time, a new area of ​​the game was about to be opened, so as an old player, he would be familiar with how to play when the server was just opened.

What is the point of planning before taking action, what is the point of assessing the situation? Old Ma now has only one thought, that is, he must make up for the failure in the takeout market in other fields, otherwise where will he, Ma, put his face!

Two days later, Cheng Wei personally led a team to the headquarters of Hangzhou Kuaidi and visited Chen Weisheng. With the approval and witnesses of the respective leaders, the two sides met happily.

After some communication, they hit it off immediately, sharing the same hatred for the enemy.

Since then, Didi and Kuaidi have made peace and joined hands to resist the black dog from the north.

All this was done in secret. Cheng Wei and Chen Weixing planned to give Wang Weijian or Chen Mo a big gift at that time.

Let Chen Mo know that the online car-hailing market is different from the food delivery market!
