In the Niu Takeaway project, although IG holds 80%, the contract also states that within two years, they have no right to interfere with the company's operations.

In other words, they have no right to interfere with Lu Yunhao's decisions.

Now, Lu Yunhao and his cow takeaway were like a cow, led by Li Mu, which made Idg very anxious.

So Idg immediately communicated with Lu Yunhao and asked him if there was a way to break through the current current limit barrier, otherwise the website would never have long-term development.

Lu Yunhao can only explain that the production and endurance of electric vehicles are now a big problem. The overall situation cannot keep up with the demand of the platform and can only increase it a little bit. However, he told IDG people not to worry, because his people have begun to purchase a large number of stock electric vehicles in the retail market in the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

In order to solve the problem of the delivery end as soon as possible, Zheng Chao sent people to sweep more than a dozen electric car stores.

As long as it is an electric car, no matter what brand or model it is, you will get all of it. According to Lu Yunhao's requirements, you will get enough 500 vehicles first.

At the same time, their ground push team also began to recruit riders throughout the process, thinking about expanding the rider team as soon as possible.

In order to fulfill Lu Yunhao's request, the team recruited almost all kinds of idle and unemployed personnel. Many people looked unreliable, but for the sake of the task, Zheng Chao had no choice.

When the person in charge of idg heard that he could only solve five hundred vehicles with such great effort, he immediately became anxious and blurted out: "If it really doesn't work, let the riders ride bicycles and deliver them! Immediately recruit 2,000 people, each of them has a bicycle, and let them start taking orders immediately."

Lu Yunhao was very impressed and said, "Our rider delivery radius is five kilometers, which means the farthest order is from the merchant to the user. Even if you can finish one order in half an hour riding a bicycle, the rider's physical energy consumption is amazing. How many orders can you run a day after running like this?"

As he said that, Lu Yunhao said again: "Also, it's not easy to recruit people with electric vehicles, not to mention that there are not even electric vehicles, only bicycles? In this case, we have to raise our basic salary. The cost is too high after all."

The person in charge of idg said angrily: "What we want is the number of users and orders. The platform data must be good-looking so that we can improve our own value and carry out the next round of financing smoothly. If you don't quickly increase the order volume now, how can we carry out capital operations next? It's difficult for a Shanghai Stock Exchange to be like this. Do you still expect to expand to other cities?"

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for Lu Yunhao to respond, the other party continued: "Mr. Lu, investing your 20 million US dollars is not enough to expand your front line. If you want to have the opportunity to cover the whole country, you must continue to raise funds and refinancing. The most important thing about financing is data. If the data cannot be raised, no one will invest your money. When the 20 million US dollars are spent, it is when the project goes bankrupt. I hope you can devote all your energy to improving data. Nothing is more important than data!"

Lu Yunhao felt a little overwhelmed.

On the one hand, there are all kinds of tight curses that Li Mu put on himself, and on the other hand, there is strong dissatisfaction from the capital. If he doesn't make the project improve quickly, it may be like Idg said, if he spends all the 20 million US dollars, the project will go bankrupt.

The data they want is nothing more than the number of platform users, order volume, and turnover quantity. Now, by giving large discounts themselves, they can increase the number of platform users, but the order volume and turnover quantity are stuck in the delivery process.

In other words, if we can really find a way to quickly improve the delivery capacity, the data of the entire platform will be greatly improved.

Is bicycle really the solution?

Lu Yunhao asked Zheng Chao to tell him this idea and asked him about his opinion.

Zheng Chao's face turned pale after hearing this and said, "Mr. Lu, now recruiting riders, one person's basic salary is less than 40 yuan a day. This is still the case when we are e-bikes. If it is a bicycle, no one is willing to do it if it is 60 yuan a day. I don't want to ride a bike for eight hours and deliver food, even the iron man can't stand it."

"And, think about it, we give them 60 a day, and the orders they deliver every day are much less than those who ride electric bikes, who get 40 a day. So how much does it cost to deliver an average order? In that case, we still have to pay for death? It is possible that the delivery fee alone will be paid for nearly ten yuan."

Lu Yunhao said: "The problem now is that you must quickly improve the carrying capacity of the order. Are there any other good ways besides this? If an electric vehicle cannot keep up with the battery replacement, it will be over for an hour or two. If you don't do anything for the rest of your time, you might as well let them ride a bicycle!"

Zheng Chao took a deep breath and asked, "Then I'll try it first when I go and buy a batch of bicycles?"

"Hurry up!" Lu Yunhao said: "Purchase a thousand bicycles first and get this matter started."

...

The news that Niu Takeaway recruited bicycle delivery riders on a large scale in the Shanghai Stock Exchange reached Yanjing, and Li Mu was stunned after hearing this.

You have to give it to them with a bicycle, which shows that Niu Takeaway now has a strong desire for platform data.

However, the efficiency of delivering food by bicycles may be less than a quarter of an electric car. If this happens, wouldn’t the cost be even more terrifying?

Originally, the takeaway platform has not started to take commissions from merchants, give discounts, subsidies, and raise riders. With so much cost, the cow takeaway will have to pay more than ten yuan for every order. Now it is estimated that it will cost half of the $20 million. How long will the rest last?

Thinking of this, I decided to continue to increase the overall operating cost of beef takeaway.

First, he asked the person in charge of the Shanghai Stock Exchange to increase the rider's basic salary directly to 1,800 yuan per month;

Secondly, he also asked to launch the timeout compensation function in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. That is to say, if an order is not delivered for more than 30 minutes, you will admire 3 yuan in cash; if it exceeds 40 minutes, you will be compensated for 5 yuan; if it exceeds 60 minutes, you will be exempted from orders.

At present, Ele.me’s data in the Shanghai Stock Exchange shows that the order implies that the delivery rate is more than 95%, the delivery rate is 98% within 40 minutes, and the delivery rate is 99.8% within 60 minutes. Almost except for sudden accidents and force majeure, Ele.me does not have delays.

This also has something to do with Ele.me's internal order distribution process.

Li Mu has long explained that the rider cannot distribute orders to a single rider in large quantities, nor can he let the rider take orders in large quantities. Unless there are orders that are very similar to the rider's route, the system will automatically distribute them to the rider. In other cases, it is impossible for the rider to grab the orders by himself.

Later generations often had the problem of untimely timeliness and untimely delivery. On the one hand, the platform refused to accept orders in order to take more orders, and then threw them all over the rider. On the other hand, the rider also kept grabbing orders, wanting to make more money.

Originally, the order from a to g could be completed at least 20 minutes, but the rider took another one from b to c, another one from d to e, and then grabbed one from f to g, and then picked up the food, delivered, picked up, delivered, even picked up, picked up, picked up, delivered, delivered, delivered, delivered, delivered, delivered, delivered, delivered, delivered, delivered, delivered, delivered, delivered, delivered, delivered, delivered, delivered, delivered, delivered, delivered, delivered, delivered, delivered, served, delivered, delivered, served, served, served, served, served, served, served, served, served, served, served, served, and delivered. In this way, there will always be one or two orders in the last row that will time out.

However, the service quality of those food delivery platforms in later generations was very average, and for them, interests are always the first priority, so they also acquiesced to such operations. If you want to get the meal as soon as possible, you have two choices, either you are a member or you spend money to buy a so-called punctual treasure.

The punctual treasure is even more deceptive. If you spend money to buy it, the rider may give it to you first. Sometimes, in order to give it to you first, you have to make a big circle, which will lead to more delays in the subsequent orders.

Sometimes, the rider himself is unwilling to bear the consequences of delays, so he calls you directly and begs you to allow him to click and deliver in advance with various reasons for showing weakness. Most people are thin-skinned and think that it is not easy for the delivery chef, so he asked him to order it.

In this way, the punctual treasure you bought is useless, it is just a waste of money.

Some food delivery masters unconsciously deceive you and say that it will be here soon and order to deliver it first. After the cheating succeeds, they will directly put your priority to the end and then go to the time to catch other orders.

In this way, you may not have eaten for an hour and a half. When you are angry and waiting for the food delivery master to come to your house, he apologizes to you with a bitter face as soon as he comes. I'm sorry, the road is too congested, I'm sorry, the car broke down, I'm sorry, I fell, I'm sorry, there was a scratch accident, in short, he will make you feel pitiful, as for the matter of your stomach that you've been hungry for an hour and a half, it's nothing.

Sometimes you think that the platform has the address of riders and users, especially riders. The real-time address is within the monitoring range of the platform. Some orders are waiting for the rider to arrive at the time of five kilometers away from the user. Are you blind? Can't you see this? Can't you judge such a problem in the system background? Why are you still letting riders take advantage of this loophole?

In fact, the platform is well aware of these behaviors and he is not willing to care about them at all.

Why?

Because, since your user is willing to be fooled by the irresponsible food delivery master, I am of course happy to see such a result, so that the delivery person can take more orders.

This is what the entire platform is colluding to consume the kindness of users together. You are very angry. What should you do? You can only click the last complaint, but if you click the complaint, don’t talk about whether it is useful or not, you will encounter the same problem next time.

Therefore, since Li Mu started working in Ele.me, he required that in most cases, riders would give away one order, and the system would not send more orders to the riders, and the riders would not take the initiative to grab orders to ensure the timeliness of delivery.

At the same time, he fixed the range of movement of each rider within a five-kilometer radius to ensure that the rider can complete a order quickly while riding an electric bike.

If there is really a tailwind order, the system will certainly not be stupid. For example, if three people order meals from the same restaurant in the same building, as long as the system gives the first order to a certain rider, then several subsequent orders will be given to the master. In this way, he can give more orders to improve efficiency under the premise of ensuring timeliness.

Therefore, with such a system algorithm to support it, Li Mu dared to play time-out compensation with Lu Yunhao.

If you pay overtime on Ele.me, the order that may actually trigger the compensation conditions is only 2% or even 1%. However, if Lu Yunhao's beef takeaway also pays overtime, then his trigger rate will be unsatisfactory...
