Only after being reborn did I realize how fascinating the world of the rich is.

Miao Peipei also chimed in with a smile: "I remember a while ago, there was a group of people protesting online about express delivery, saying that they wanted deliverymen to deliver directly to their door."

They don't even consider that express delivery fees have already been squeezed to the extreme. Where is the profit margin for door-to-door delivery? You should know that the cost of last-mile delivery is even higher than the cost of logistics for thousands of kilometers.

But those keyboard warriors online completely ignored them, insisting that the courier company deliver to their door, but when asked to pay more, they got angry.

Tang Shanshan chimed in with a smile, "I've heard about it too. Most people just treat it as a joke and let it go. At most, they're just bystanders watching the show."

However, some brainless residents of the community have gone mad. Perhaps because they are used to taking advantage of others, they actually took this seriously.

So, in order to get the deliverymen to deliver the packages directly to their homes, they complained about the deliverymen every day. As a result of these complaints, the deliverymen and the delivery stations were fined by the logistics companies.

You say you already own a home, your living conditions are definitely better than those delivery guys, why make things difficult for them? They're already working hard enough!

Miao Peipei asked with some curiosity, "What happened in the end?"

"What else could they do? Later, those courier companies joined forces and blacklisted the entire community. Didn't you complain about their service quality?"

They simply refuse to provide you with service. If you want your package delivered, you have to go to the courier service point to pick it up yourself, or they'll just send it back the way it came.

They only pay a small shipping fee for a package, yet they expect the delivery guy to be their slave? It's like they're not giving people a chance to make a living.

I thought Xiaofeng was already a pretty ruthless capitalist, but even he's not as ruthless as these guys!

Li Xiaofeng pretended to be furious and rushed forward to grab Tang Shanshan. Tang Shanshan dodged with a smile and asked somewhat indignantly, "Why weren't you angry when Peipei was talking about you? You were just deliberately bullying me!"

"Don't give me that. Peipei and I were just having a serious discussion. Are you deliberately making things up about me? Is this a punishment for family discipline?" Li Xiaofeng said with a grin as he rushed up and grabbed Tang Shanshan.

Tang Shanshan cried out in alarm, "Peipei, come save me! Xiaofeng is bullying me!"

Miao Peipei was very loyal and rushed over to tickle Li Xiaofeng's armpits, trying to rescue Tang Shanshan.

However, both women underestimated the strength of men, and Li Xiaofeng knew their weaknesses perfectly, so they quickly succumbed to his charms.

After having his fun with the two girls, Li Xiaofeng sat contentedly on the large sofa, embracing one of them on each side, and continued their previous conversation with great ease.

"Ever since the saying 'the customer is God' was introduced to China, it has been praised to the skies by public intellectuals and widely promoted. In China, this saying has been taken for granted."

In reality, services are provided by people, and since people are involved, there are human resource costs, which also require money. Moreover, intangible services are often much more expensive than tangible goods.

The fact that services are expensive is commonplace abroad, given the high labor costs there. However, in China, due to lower labor costs and a lack of awareness about paying for services, many people believe that services should be free.

This has created the so-called contradiction where many people want to enjoy themselves but don't want to pay for it.

Tang Shanshan nodded and smiled, saying, "Talking about those keyboard warriors online is not very meaningful. We can never finish discussing human nature. Let's get back to our topic of Lego.com!"

The current situation facing Lego.com is that the interests of merchants, consumers, and delivery riders all need to be protected, but our own interests also need to be protected.

Miao Peipei asked with some doubt, "Didn't Xiaofeng say that the riders aren't a party in the game?"

Li Xiaofeng said with a wry smile, "The standards are different. The game I'm talking about is about having the initiative, and the angle I'm discussing is from the perspective of our peers, while Shanshan's angle is from our own internal perspective."

As for the delivery riders, although they lack autonomy, their sheer number makes it reasonable for Shanshan to categorize them as stakeholders.

Then, Li Xiaofeng continued earnestly, "Shanshan is right. Besides merchants and consumers, we also need to make money in business."

Therefore, in order to make this business model work, all parties must weigh their options, clarify the internal relationships within the business model, and ultimately achieve profitability.

Actually, I don't care how much profit Tesco can ultimately bring to the group. I'm willing to give delivery riders a little more money, because what we really make money from is the appreciation of shares in the capital market.

The problem is that capital isn't stupid; it's far more shrewd than ordinary people. To gain capital's approval, you have to generate profits and show them the market potential.

Miao Peipei nodded and said with some helplessness, "I understand, but now that some people are starting to disrupt the market, we can only try to seize the market and compete with them in terms of attrition."

"Only after we subdue them can we calmly and gradually reduce costs and increase efficiency, but this will definitely postpone the time it takes for us to break even."

Li Xiaofeng waved his hand dismissively and said, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I have money in my hands. Let's all burn money together. The more fiercely we burn money, the fewer competitors will enter the game in the future."

Tang Shanshan said in a slightly teasing tone, "You really are a person of strong character!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Actually, Dong Ge is also a man of strong emotions. He once said that he would not fire any of his brothers in the company, but later he changed his mind and said that those who lay down in the company were not his brothers."

Miao Peipei and Tang Shanshan covered their mouths and chuckled softly.

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "When the forest is big, you'll find all kinds of birds. Without the rod of dismissal, how is it any different from the old system of equal distribution of resources? How can such a large group company be managed well?"

This shows that Dong Ge's understanding of human nature was somewhat insufficient; he imagined human nature to be too beautiful, which ultimately forced him to break his promise and profit from it.

Miao Peipei sighed, looking somewhat disappointed, and said, "I thought he was a real man, but it turns out that Brother Dong is reserving the final say on his brother's affairs!"

Also, the fact that the deliveryman at Dong Ge's shopping mall could only deliver packages was something I hadn't considered. It means he kept the most profitable part for himself, leaving the hardest, most tiring, and least profitable work to his colleagues.
