The world's richest man started by developing gutter oil

September 2017, 4, China time.

11: noon.

Inside a film and television company in Beijing.

There was less than half an hour left until lunch time.

Zeng Guichang opened his mobile phone and logged into Choutuan Takeout to order some takeout.

When he opened the Choutuan APP, an advertisement popped up.

[Due to the business adjustment and equity change of Choutuan Company, Choutuan Company sold its food delivery business to Shenlan Group. Users who need to order food delivery can download Shenlan Food Delivery or log in to Shenlan Food Delivery Mini Program to place an order. ]

Zeng Guichang said in astonishment: "What's going on? How did Ugly Group Takeaway become Deep Blue Takeaway?"

Colleague Lan Jiaqi stretched his head to look at his phone and said, "Lao Zeng, don't you know? Deep Blue Group is the largest shareholder of Ugly Group. Some time ago, news spread online that Wang Xing was going to separate from Deep Blue Group."

Zeng Guichang was surprised and said, "Ah, I didn't know there was such a thing."

After deciding to separate from Deep Blue, Wang Xing went to find the other shareholders.

Wang Xing and other shareholders reached a consensus after some consultation.

They need to keep the Choutuan brand because the Choutuan app has hundreds of millions of users, but Shenlan only has the food delivery business, so they split out the food delivery business.

Deep Blue Group exchanged the Choutuan food delivery business for US$30 billion plus 35% of the equity.

Later, someone in the know revealed the whole story of the separation.

This incident also aroused heated discussion among netizens.

"Fuck, I just found out now that Deep Blue is the largest shareholder of the Ugly Group."

"Brother above, there are still many things you don't know. Deep Blue is still the largest shareholder of JD Mall and JD Logistics. If it weren't for the post office joining Dongfeng Station, Deep Blue would still be the largest shareholder of Dongfeng Station. There are at least 700 to 800 companies invested by Deep Blue."

"I think the separation of Choutuan and Shenlan is a good thing. It is definitely a good thing for the deliverymen because Shenlan treats its employees very well. I guess the deliverymen will be able to become regular employees after Shenlan takes over."

"Why would Deep Blue want to separate from the Ugly Group?"

"I guess it's because the Ugly Team employees are not good, so Deep Blue Group can't stand it."

"What you said is unlikely, because Deep Blue has a principle that after investing, they will not ask about the company and the decision-making power is left to the founder."

"I know a little bit about this matter. Choutuan was originally going to be listed in the United States, but for some reason its application was rejected. Then Deep Blue asked Choutuan to stop other businesses and focus on food delivery. Wang Xing didn't want to give up the existing business, so the two companies broke up."

"It doesn't matter to me who's in charge, as long as I can have cheap takeaway food."

"This matter has nothing to do with me, so I'd better just work hard."

September 2017, 4, China time.

The time has finally come for DeepBlue Group’s new product launch.

However, there are still 10 hours left before the Deep Blue new product launch conference begins.

With the popularity of Shenlan and the support of WeChat, all of Choutan’s takeaway users have now migrated to the Shenlan takeaway APP.

Some users who are too lazy to download the APP also use Shenlan Takeaway through the mini program.

The Deep Blue Takeaway and Ugly Group were also completely separated.

Beijing DeepBlue Takeaway Headquarters.

Now that Choutuan Takeaway has been split off, it has found a new office.

80% of the employees in the food delivery department are willing to follow Shenlan, and the rest are those who started a business with Wang Xing and will continue to work hard in Choutuan.

All the vacant senior positions were temporarily filled by employees at the next level.

The atmosphere in the conference room was tense and solemn. The senior executives took their seats, their eyes filled with anticipation and curiosity.

They whispered to each other, discussing the background of the new boss and the changes he might bring.

Suddenly, the door of the conference room slowly opened, and a ray of sunlight shone through the gap onto Han Chen, as if covering him with a golden halo.

Han Chen, wearing a T-shirt, beach pants and slippers, walked into the meeting room calmly with a smile on his face.

As he walked, the conference room gradually became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

The company's top executives didn't expect their new boss to dress so casually.

"Everyone, I am Han Chen, chairman of Deep Blue Group and your boss." Han Chen's voice was clear and powerful, echoing in the conference room.

After Han Chen introduced himself, everyone present applauded.

Han Chen said seriously, "I came here this time mainly to announce a few things, which is also the future business strategy of Deep Blue Takeaway. The first thing is related to our current business model. All Deep Blue Takeaway stations will no longer be open to the public after the contract expires.

In other words, all stations are operated by Shenlan Takeaway itself. The operations department must make preparations in advance and open Shenlan Takeaway branches across the country.

The second thing is about our deliverymen. After the delivery stations were directly operated by Shenlan, all the deliverymen signed labor contracts and were given the benefits they deserve.

Our directly-operated sites will begin implementing this strategy after today's meeting.

The third thing is to reduce the commission from merchants and delivery fees, and give as much profit as possible to merchants and deliverymen. Deep Blue Takeaway only needs 5% net profit. (The net profit here is after deducting all operating expenses. Choutuan has been operating for so long that it has sufficient data, so the ratio can be easily calculated.)
The fourth thing is that all merchants must join our Sunshine Kitchen project. Anyone who wants to do business on our Deep Blue takeaway must install Deep Blue surveillance cameras in the kitchen, and these surveillance images will be open to all users in real time.

The fifth thing is that the company will set aside 3% of its net profit every year as bonuses for all management.

The sixth thing is that the operation department is not allowed to use algorithms to oppress the deliverymen. It should listen more to the opinions of the deliverymen under the platform, give them more relaxed time as much as possible, and the reward and punishment system for deliverymen should also be more relaxed.

After all, we all come out to work, so why should workers make things difficult for themselves?

The seventh thing is that the customer service department cannot punish deliverymen based solely on customer feedback. All punishments and rewards must be carried out with reason and evidence, and a reasonable and compliant review system must be customized.

The eighth thing is to appoint Ms. Huang Xiaoqin as the CEO of Deep Blue Takeaway. "

The management present were also shocked after hearing the seven things Han Chen said.

Han Chen's approach completely overturned Wang Xing's original operating strategy. If DeepBlue Takeaway followed Han Chen's approach, it would not make any money at all. Is Han Chen trying to do charity or something else?

Even though they were just workers, they could not understand Han Chen's thoughts.

At this time, Han Chen continued, "I know what you are thinking. You think my strategies are not good and the company will lose a lot of money. Will my actions affect your income?

The reason why I do this is that I have never thought about making money in the food delivery industry. Because no matter how much money you make in the food delivery industry, it is not as much as DeepBlue Electronics makes in a day. I do this just to create more jobs for the society.

It is just to ensure that those who are not well educated or those who are optimized by the company are provided with a job opportunity.

Of course, the company will not treat you unfairly. I have already talked about your income just now. The company will set aside 3% of the net profit as bonuses. I believe that you will get more money in the future.

I have said everything I need to say, and you can raise any objections you have. "

Han Chen also smiled kindly as he spoke the last few words.

After listening to Han Chen's speech, everyone present was impressed.

They have been engaged in the food delivery industry for a long time. When Wang Xing was in power, he only thought about how to make money, how to oppress the food deliverymen to make more money, and how to oppress the merchants to make more money.

No one has ever done something like Han Chen did just to provide more jobs to society.

After thinking it over, Huang Xiaoqin raised her hand, and Han Chen nodded at her to signal her to speak.

Huang Xiaoqin said: "Boss Han, I think the Sunshine Kitchen issue is a bit difficult. I guess many businesses are unwilling to install cameras in their kitchens."

Han Chen looked at Huang Xiaoqin and said, "Merchants that are unwilling to install cameras probably have problems in their kitchens. We don't need to cooperate with such merchants. As a platform, we also need to consider the safety of our customers and make some contributions to people's food safety.

We know that it will be difficult to advance our work by doing this, but as long as we do this well and ensure the food safety of our customers, I believe our customers will not be taken away.

The catering industry is different from other industries. Sincerity is the only thing that can easily impress customers.

If you were a customer, before you ordered takeout, would you look for a store you could see or one you couldn’t see? "

Han Chen added: "Of course, I'm not asking you to push this forward all at once. We can first look for high-quality merchants under the platform and recommend the Sunshine Kitchen project to them. When enough merchants join the Sunshine Kitchen project, we can kick out those merchants who are unwilling to cooperate."

After hearing Han Chen's words, everyone started to discuss in a low voice.

"Boss Han is not wrong. We are in the takeout business, and we know how dirty some businesses are. If we can really check the kitchen, I would still like to eat at this restaurant."

"If it's not a one-shot deal but a gradual approach, it's still acceptable."

"If you do this, you can gain the favor of customers in the long run. After all, we Chinese are very sensitive about what we eat. No one wants to spend money to buy something that is unhygienic."

"Standardization will also be beneficial. The quality of the platform will also be improved. If competitors want to compete with us, they will have to spend a lot of money on subsidies."

“This plan is still feasible.”

Han Chen looked around at everyone and asked, "Does anyone have any questions?"

Huang Xiaoqin asked: "Mr. Han, what are the specifications for purchasing insurance for riders?"

Han Chen said: "Riders buy insurance based on their base salary. If all of them buy insurance based on their base salary, then we will have to squeeze the profits of merchants and increase the delivery fees for users. This is unfair to merchants and users. We are able to buy insurance for riders, which is better than other companies."

Huang Xiaoqin wrote down what Han Chen had just said in the notebook and said, "Boss Han, I don't have any more questions."

Han Chen was about to get up and leave when he suddenly remembered something.

Han Chen said, "Oh, I forgot something. We'll buy commercial accident insurance for our employees. The money will be deducted from their salary. It's not a lot, just one dollar a day. I'll have Deep Blue Insurance contact you later."

Huang Xiaoqin nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Han."

It's 3pm in the blink of an eye.

The news that Deep Blue Group would purchase five insurances and one fund for riders soon spread online.

"Fuck, I just received a message that the company will buy five insurances and one fund for us."

“Isn’t it basic for a company to buy five insurances and one fund for its employees?”

"Brother, I'm a food delivery rider from Shenlan. Have you ever heard of buying five insurances and one housing fund for riders?"

"This morning, people said that Deep Blue Group taking over the ugly team was a good thing for the riders. I didn't expect that they would announce the purchase of five social insurances and one housing fund so soon. Among so many platforms, Deep Blue is probably the only one that buys this."

“Why didn’t the Deep Blue delivery rider receive this message?”

"According to the information I received, only directly-operated sites are available for purchase. Outsourced sites can only be purchased after the site expires and Deep Blue changes the site to directly-operated."

"Outsourced sites are all from third-party companies, so it's normal for Shenlan not to buy them. Just wait until the sites are changed to direct sales."

"I guess the riders on other platforms are extremely jealous now."

"Is there anyone who wants to go to the Deep Blue Group's new product launch tonight?"

"There's no way to see it in Demon City."

"If you're a girl I'll accompany you, but if you're a boy forget it."

"After watching the movie, are you still thinking about hehehe?"

"Brother, you know too much."

In a blink of an eye, it was 6:30 in the evening.

Thirty thousand people attended Deep Blue's 2017 new product launch conference.

This also forced the Chaoyang police to dispatch a large number of police officers to maintain order in order to avoid unnecessary situations.

Many people couldn't understand why so many people came to watch the Deep Blue Group's press conference, which wasn't a concert by a big star.

At this time, there was already a huge crowd of people at the entrance of the Bird's Nest.

The crowd surged like a tide, gathering from all directions. The staff in uniform work clothes moved through the crowd like gardeners. Their gestures were skillful and powerful, directing the audience to flow slowly into the venue like a river.

Despite the large number of people, everything was in good order. No one was pushing or shoving, no one was making noise. There were only expectant breaths and occasional whispers, like a tribute to the upcoming ceremony.

As more and more spectators entered the venue, the atmosphere in the venue began to gradually heat up.

Deep Blue Group’s promotional videos were also played on six giant LED screens in the venue.

At this moment, the scene switched to the VIP box of the Bird's Nest.

The cameraman focused the camera on the celebrities and bigwigs who came to attend the Deep Blue new product launch conference.

Reporters from Deep Blue Group also took microphones to interview the invited guests.

The reporter asked politely with a smile: "Reba, as the 2017 spokesperson for Deep Blue Auto, what are your expectations for today's press conference?" (End of this chapter)
