Chapter 1777 The Turning Point Is Coming

Soon, Ele.me launched a very high-profile overtime compensation function.

The 12-character slogan "Relax, deliver on time, compensate overtime, and arrive in seconds" not only shows Ele.me's determination to deliver on time, but it also brings out the beef takeaway that is difficult to deliver on time next door.

Ele.me's advantage is further expanded with overtime payouts.

After Lu Yunhao learned the news, he no longer had the strength to scold his mother.

He now finally feels the absolute force of the strong. Once you declare war on a strong, he will take off his suit and shirt and launch an indiscriminate and violent attack on his entire body. The point is, this game is not a round match. , and there is no referee, this is a life-and-death battle.

Lu Yunhao walked onto the battlefield confidently. He thought he could use some low-three-way moves to grab a bite of food in front of Li Mu, but he didn't expect that Li Mu would punch him in the face when he came up. Come here, and then kicked him again, here he just fell, and before he had time to get up, someone rode on him and opened his bows again and again.

Right now, I haven't sorted out the problem of the rider team, and Li Mu has come up with another trick to pay overtime. As long as the order is not delivered for more than half an hour, he will lose money immediately. This is simply a bastard routine! Consumers have never had any dissatisfaction with your delivery time. Why are you asking for such an overtime compensation function? Are you trying to raise my threshold again?

Lu Yunhao is really convinced. He even regrets it now. If he knew that doing this stuff was so stressful, it would be better to be an honest teacher in Southern English. At least he didn't have to be so bad and anxious.

He has hardly had a good night's sleep since the days of beef delivery, and the enormous pressure comes from all directions, which is simply unbearable.

Now, he not only has to endure the repeated attacks from Ele.me, but also the accusations of the capital behind him. The whole person is like being thrown into a cauldron and boiled. The water is the capital, and the fire is Li Mu. The water that is as comfortable as the mother's body is getting hotter and hotter, and it makes the originally comfortable self more and more uncomfortable.

The employees under his command asked him, since Ele.me has launched overtime compensation, should we also launch a similar function?

Lu Yunhao's first reaction was, go to his uncle.

I go online and pay for overtime? Am I crazy or are you crazy?

Never go online!

Otherwise, wouldn't it just be digging a big hole for yourself?

At that time, if the distribution collapses, the loss will further increase. What will you take?

However, just when Lu Yunhao made up his mind not to pay overtime, Zheng Chao told him that since the overtime payment of Ele.me was launched, the number of users and orders for Niu Takeaway began to decline.

If a user runs out of coupons, or runs out of the best small discount coupons, they will immediately return to the Ele.me platform to place an order and enjoy the stable delivery speed within half an hour.

The rest of the cattle takeaway is a group of users who pick up the wool. Zheng Chao can even imagine that once the cattle takeaway stops subsidizing, or the subsidy is no longer higher than Ele.me, these woolen users will immediately return to Ele.me. embrace.

Therefore, if it goes on like this, even if Niu Waimai is busy with orders every day, it will only face two situations. One is that money is constantly losing and losing again, and the other is that it has never been able to cultivate its own viscosity users.

It's like a person's popularity is not good, and he has to make friends, what should we do? You can only rely on spending money on these friends to stabilize them by your side.

These people themselves do not have any friendship with them. Once they are out of money, these people will immediately stay away from them, and they will not have any affection at all.

If this is the case, everything about Niu Waimai will be a castle in the air. Even if the 20 million US dollars are spent, it will not be able to retain many sticky users. At that time, they will still run back to the arms of Ele.me.

How to do?

Lu Yunhao's head is as big as a bucket.

After thinking about it, he came up with a solution,

First release the notice that supermarket delivery will be launched soon, but do not know the specific time of the launch and the specific compensation measures after the launch. Just let everyone know that this function will be launched soon.

Then, get the thousand cyclists on the job quickly and let them rush into the distribution army.

At present, 1,000 bicycle delivery staff of Niu Waimai have been in place one after another, and they are undergoing the most basic one-day training. Once they know how to receive and deliver orders, they will be immediately put into Niu Waimai and Ele.me. heartland.

One thousand bicycle deliverymen earn a daily salary of 60 yuan, but their working hours are less than ten hours a day. Single is the limit.

This is only a theoretical value. If the order is generally far away, this number will be discounted.

If the physical strength of the courier is relatively poor, it will be even worse.

However, in order to prevent people from messing around, Niu Waimai still set a minimum number of tasks for cyclists. They must complete 20 orders a day in order to get the basic salary of the day. Until the deduction is complete, if the player fails to meet the standard for three consecutive days, he must be eliminated.

Lu Yunhao expects that these thousand bicycle delivery staff can improve the order turnover speed of the entire cattle takeaway, and at the same time can share the pressure of food delivery during the peak period. If these thousand people can perform well, the proportion of overtime delivery can be reduced to less than 10%. , then you can announce the official start of overtime compensation.

If the ratio is higher than 10%, the launch of this feature will be postponed indefinitely.

On the first day of the 1,000 cyclists, the order volume of Niu Takeaway did ease to some extent. However, among the 1,000 cyclists, more than 80% did not complete the 20 orders per day.

The reason is mainly because the order distance is far away, and the five-kilometer radius is still very challenging for cyclists. Many people don't feel much at first riding a bicycle, but after riding for more than ten kilometers, the feeling of exhaustion begins to double.

The first two races may run quite smoothly, and then it will become more and more tired and slower.

In particular, each order must first go to the restaurant to pick up the meal, and then go to the user to deliver the meal. Sometimes it is completely random movement within a range of five kilometers, which consumes a lot of exercise.

Niu Waimai would like to use a systematic algorithm to reasonably accept orders and plan routes for their riders. For example, as far as possible to accept orders from merchants and users who are close to the rider. However, the current Niu Waimai with this algorithm simply cannot support it.

First of all, they have no way to locate their rider's position, because their rider only has a 2G mobile phone, no GPS module, and can't report the coordinates to the server. Therefore, in this way, they have no way to assign him a reasonable allocation based on the rider's position. Order;

Secondly, their system did not make their own electronic map based on actual coordinates.

If you want to mark the location in your own server, you first need a set of electronic map data, and the background system needs to support this set of electronic maps. Only in this way, their location information will have location markers.

It's like a person's brain. If he doesn't have a rough template for a map of the United States at all, you tell him Manhattan, New York City, and what he records in his mind is this line of words "Manhattan, New York City", and he doesn't know at all. I don't know where the damn Manhattan district of New York City is in the United States, and I don't even know a rough range.

In this case, if you tell him that there is an order that needs to be picked up from Central Park in Manhattan, New York, and delivered to 35 16th Street, the person has no other concept of these two locations at all, because in his brain There is no base map.

If Niu Waimai wants to coordinate the merchant's address and the recipient's address in its own system, then their system can determine which of the four addresses A, B, C, and D are more distant. Which two combined orders are the most convenient and easiest to add to other orders for combined delivery.

When they went online in a hurry, there are many technical loopholes that have not been solved, and it is even more impossible to take into account such a set of background frameworks.

But Li Mu's Ele.me background structure is different. Although Li Mu can't realize the function of locating the rider's position in real time, at least Li Mu has located every district, every road, every street, every building in the entire Shanghai market. The buildings have been coordinateized. In his background, the entire map and the coordinates of these addresses are already available. If the system receives a large number of orders, it will first plan the delivery route that a single order needs to run according to the order. On the basis of the route, add other routes suitable for merging.

This, cattle takeaway will not be realized in another month.

Since it can't be achieved, it can't provide any substantive help for its riders, so riders take orders, and the distance is all based on luck. It is impossible to combine orders and run one or two more orders in one trip.

Since a large number of cyclists did not complete the required number of orders, they immediately lost interest in this work. Fortunately, Lu Yunhao gave in in time and temporarily lowered the minimum number of 20 orders per day to 15 orders per day.

As long as 15 orders are completed every day, you can get 60 yuan, and the cost of bicycle delivery has reached 4 yuan.

But Lu Yunhao could only grit his teeth and accept it. This is a no-brainer. At least it can support the operation of the platform first, so that many users will not be able to place an order.

On the second day, most of the cyclists fulfilled the requirement of delivering 15 orders per day.

Lu Yunhao breathed a sigh of relief, so he decided to continue to expand the size of the bicycle distribution team, adding another thousand bicycles and a thousand bicycle riders.

A few days later, Lu Yunhao's team of more than 1,000 electric bike riders and 2,000 bicycle riders has been able to basically meet the order needs of the current company's business coverage area.

However, the daily losses are still huge.

However, this is a breakthrough development for the Niu Waimai team and the capital behind it. Although we owe it, everyone is very optimistic about the next development of Niu Waimai, and believes that Niu Waimai's turnaround is coming.

But at this time, the Shanghai stock market entered the rainy season of late spring and early summer, and a long-term heavy rain swept the entire Shanghai stock market...
