Stronger by Paying Salaries and I Have 1 Billion Employees

After this adjustment, the issue of being swamped with orders was alleviated. Despite this small hiccup, Kuai Pao’s ”Group Buy to Home” feature still achieved its expected results.

On the day of its launch, it added an extra 200 million in transaction volume to the platform!

A figure that previously would have taken an entire week to achieve!

By the time Wang Xin reacted, it was already the afternoon of the third day. He canceled his vacation, had Wang Huiwen at the Yanjing headquarters pull together a team of R&D engineers to form a task force, and urged city operations managers across the country to launch a counterattack against Kuai Pao’s move.

In the past struggles between Group Buy websites, the most effective weapon was always a price war!

To protect its market share, Meituan simply initiated a subsidy model of ten to fifteen percent.

For the same Group Buy product that Kuai Pao sold for 99 yuan, Meituan’s price was as low as 84.9 yuan—a direct drop of 14.1 yuan!

They weren’t evaluating ROI (Return on Investment) or looking at the long-tail effect; all that mattered was order volume and transaction value. The priority was to hold the line for Meituan!

Lashou Network followed close behind. Under Li Yanhong’s coordination, Gong Zhenbing quickly organized a team to work overtime and rush the development of their own ”Group Buy to Home” feature.

For a time, the programmers at Meituan and Lashou Network were grumbling incessantly.

Their wonderful National Day holiday was completely ruined. R&D engineers who had been spending time with their families or girlfriends had no choice but to rush back to company headquarters after getting a call from their superiors.

Lashou Network had it better. Backed by Qian Du, Li Yanhong was also generous enough to give double pay to everyone he called back to work overtime.

Wang Xin, as stingy as ever, only offered time off in lieu of overtime pay. Want overtime cash?

Not a chance!

As a result, after receiving the product requirements document, the project manager wanted to call a meeting with the product manager and the leads of the front-end, back-end, and testing teams to go over everything. But he called out for a long time, and no one paid him any mind.

”What is wrong with you people? Don’t you want to work here anymore?!” Tang Ling demanded, suppressing her anger, her face a mask of displeasure.

Two months ago, the scandal surrounding Zhu Xianbao’s resignation had caused her to lose a great deal of face. However, the company hadn’t punished her; on the contrary, they had given her a position of greater importance.
