Stronger by Paying Salaries and I Have 1 Billion Employees

At the same time, a dozen or so management trainees from the ”Thousand Talents, Hundred Cities” program successfully secured interview opportunities at Meituan through headhunters and public recruitment channels.

”Fire him, revoke his stock options, add him to the blacklist, and never rehire him,” Chen Yansen ordered in a flat tone.

In other words, this delivery rider, who had sold Kuai Pao’s core data for money, would not only be unable to get a job at the Orange Phone Factory, but he wouldn’t even be able to work for Cloud Speed Express.

In the future, as Senlian Capital grew, the scope of this blacklist’s influence would also expand.

”Yes, Boss,” Pei Yi quickly replied.

In fact, his plan was to wait until Meituan was on the verge of defeat. If the people Kuai Pao sent over hadn’t been exposed by then, he would bring up this old score. Not only would he hold the delivery rider accountable, but he would also take the opportunity to kick Wang Xin while he was down.

Thinking this, Pei Yi laid out his entire plan.

”In the future, you can make decisions like this on your own, understand?” Chen Yansen said casually after listening.

”Understood.” Pei Yi was a smart man; he got the hint immediately and replied with a smile.

He paused for a moment before adding, ”Our people have spotted storefronts for Qian Du Delivery stations in Yanjing.”

The implication was that Qian Du was also about to enter the food delivery war in the Yanjing market.

”So, the competition in both the Group Buy and food delivery industries has really just begun. Once you defeat Meituan and Qian Du, I’ll issue another round of stock options for Kuai Pao. Everyone will get some.”

Chen Yansen made these grand promises as easily as breathing.

After chatting for ten minutes, they both hung up.

「Meanwhile.」

「Yanjing, Qian Du Headquarters.」

The Qian Du Delivery app had been completed, and a channel entry point had been added to the icon section on Lashou Network’s homepage.

Using Lashou Network’s merchant resources, they had already roped in their first batch of food delivery vendors.

In terms of building their delivery fleet, they had carefully selected 100 riders from a pool of unemployed couriers.

Wang Zhongpu believed that Kuai Pao’s strategy of using mainly full-time riders supplemented by part-timers could easily put them in a passive position during industry competition. On the other hand, Meituan Takeout’s approach of using only part-time riders was too extreme; it would be difficult to improve delivery times and user satisfaction with punitive policies alone.

He therefore combined the advantages of both models and designed a fleet development plan that focused mainly on part-time riders, supplemented by full-timers.

Kuai Pao’s full-time to part-time rider ratio was 9:1, so Qian Du would do the opposite, aiming for a 1:9 ratio.

After listening to Wang Zhongpu’s work report, Li Yanhong smiled and gave a slight nod of approval.

”We’ll go live on the 3rd. At that time, Qian Du Search, Tieba, News, Maps, and our browser portals will all direct traffic to Qian Du Delivery. Yanjing will be Qian Du Delivery’s first stop, and the Southern China Region will be the second.”

Li Yanhong said with a smile.

Kuai Pao’s presence was weakest in the southern market, and its operational scope didn’t yet provide full coverage there. Qian Du Delivery would develop from the south, first accumulating strength before seeking a decisive battle.

Avoid a direct confrontation, build up power, and then strike!

”No problem, Boss,” Wang Zhongpu replied, his gaze firm.

He knew in his heart that if he won this battle, he would enter Qian Du Network’s core decision-making circle. If he lost, a lateral transfer would be the best he could hope for. But the most likely outcome would be getting marginalized!

At the same time, Wang Xin also learned of Qian Du Delivery’s impending launch, and he immediately felt the pressure intensify.

Faced with Senlian Capital and Qian Du Delivery, Meituan was like an ant trying to shake a tree. To have any chance of winning this fight, they couldn’t be short on capital.

Therefore, he unhesitatingly called Ji Gang. To his surprise, however, the other man’s attitude was ambiguous—he neither agreed to nor refused the investment.

When pressed, Ji Gang simply said he didn’t have the authority and would need to request instructions.
