In this life, we don’t even talk about love dogs.

Chapter 629 Two-Way Development
Hearing Ye Ge's words, everyone in the conference room was stunned.

They again did not understand Ye Ge's actions.

If Baoleme's takeout can replace Ruixing Coffee's takeout, then why should I continue to use my own takeout platform?

It is true that we couldn’t give up our own food delivery platform at the beginning, because no one knew whether Baole.me food delivery could succeed.

If you fail to do it by the time, and it turns out that your food delivery software is not well done, then you are doomed.

Therefore, in order to maintain operations, the best way, and the most common way, is to continue using your own food delivery platform, and then wait until Baoleme food delivery gradually replaces it, then you may not need to deliver the food yourself.

You know, every Ruixing Coffee store has to have one or two deliverymen.

Although these deliverymen are part-time and their salaries are not very high, their monthly expenses still add up to three to eight thousand yuan.

Even if it is in some other commercial streets, if a coffee shop has better business, it will need more delivery staff.

Ruixing Coffee has so many stores.

Naturally, not to mention other things, Ruixing Coffee now has more than 300 directly-operated stores in major provinces across the country, not counting its franchise stores.

The average salary of a deliveryman in each store is 5000 yuan.

There are only 300 stores.

That's also an expense of 150 million.

Moreover, Ruixing Coffee is still expanding rapidly and occupying the market. In the future, the wages spent on takeout will only increase, not decrease.

In addition, delivery personnel also need training. After all, not all delivery personnel know the route right away when they start working. It takes some time for them to get familiar with the job, which is also a very troublesome thing.

If Baoleme Takeaway takes over the delivery service of Ruixing Coffee, perhaps it can save a certain amount of cost. Moreover, the deliverymen of Baoleme Takeaway platform are often on the road, so they are definitely professional and they also have less experience in management and training.

In short, if Baoleme takeaway cooperates with me, I will definitely win.

If that’s the case, then isn’t it unnecessary to have your own food delivery platform?

"Mr. Ye, are you not satisfied with the takeout?" Yuan Mei asked.

In Yuan Mei's opinion, Ye Ge probably doesn't think highly of Baoleme takeaway, so he said that. He thinks Baoleme takeaway cannot replace his own takeaway app.

Otherwise, Yuan Mei’s idea is the same as others. She thinks that by cooperating with Baoleme, her company’s business capabilities will definitely be streamlined to a certain extent.

Ye Ge shook his head: "Not really, I am actually very optimistic about Baoleme takeaway. In my opinion, Baoleme takeaway will definitely open up the market quickly.

I believe it won’t take long, maybe two years at most, and everyone will get used to using this food delivery platform to order food.

You know, laziness is the first productive force of mankind.

If you can have food delivered to your home with just a few clicks, why would you go out of your way to buy it?
It’s just that now it’s Baoleme Takeaway that is begging the stores to open up shop. In the future, every store will have Baoleme Takeaway open shop.

At that time, it will be the store owners who make demands on the platform.

By then, the traffic provided by Baole.me will be very scary, but their voice will be more important.”

"Then what are you doing, Mr. Ye?"

The director of the marketing department somewhat understood what Ye Ge meant, but he didn't fully understand it. Mr. Ye was obviously very optimistic about Baoleme's food delivery service, but why did he still want to continue to maintain his own food delivery software?

It doesn't matter if the food delivery platform has more say. We are all partners after all, and mutual benefit and win-win are the right thing to do.

Looking at their puzzled expressions, Ye Ge smiled. In fact, he could understand their confusion.

After all, not everyone has a bird's eye view and knows what those food delivery apps will do in the future.

Ye Ge patiently explained: "In fact, you will understand if you think about it. First of all, Baoleme Takeaway is a company, not a charity.

Baoleme has invested so much money in takeout, and it will definitely make it back in the end.

When Baoleme takeout takes over the market, that will be the time when Baoleme takeout starts to recover.

If you are full by then, the takeaway price and delivery fee will increase.

First of all, on the user side, takeout from Baole.me will definitely not be as cheap as it is now. Although it won’t be that expensive, it will still cost at least 10 to 20 yuan per serving.

Secondly, on the store side, Baoleme will organize various activities. In order to retain users, Baoleme will definitely give some discounts, but the store will definitely have to bear the cost of the discounts.

You may want to quit by then, but Baoleme takeout does have a lot of traffic and you can indeed make some money.

But you find that after working so hard, the money you earn doesn't seem to be much more.

Especially since we are being exploited by the middleman Baoleme, we might as well continue to develop our own food delivery software and hold promotions from time to time. While our profits are similar to Baoleme's, we can also give customers some discounts.

Penguin will later launch a new communication software called V信.

We can build some small programs into WeChat, so that people can order takeout conveniently without having to download our software.”

Yuan Mei thought carefully about what Ye Ge said: "It is indeed like this. Houbaole.me is not doing charity. Houbaole.me will take back all the money it earns in the market."

"We should still do what we have to do. We still need to maintain our Ruixing Coffee takeaway software, and we should also promote it when we invest in advertising in the future."

Yuan Mei made a decision.

Ye Ge and Yuan Mei own a total of 70% of the company's shares. Yuan Mei's shares are only 5% more than Ye Ge's, but the final say in Luckin Coffee still lies mainly with Yuan Mei.

The main reason is that Ye Ge doesn’t really care about it.

Ye Ge is more like an angel investor.

Of course, Ye Ge didn't completely ignore the matter.

Ye Ge would still attend some larger meetings.

However, Ye Ge would basically not attend some small meetings on weekdays, but Yuan Mei's secretary would send the report to Guo Xue, and then Guo Xue would give the report to himself.

Finally, a few more small topics were discussed and the meeting lasted a total of two hours before it ended.

Just when Ye Ge wanted to go back to school, Yuan Mei stopped him.

"Ye Ge." Yuan Mei stepped forward, "Are you free tonight?"
