Chapter 1778 The Rainy Season of the Shanghai Stock Market

The first light rain in the Shanghai market slowed down the outdoor operation speed of the entire city a lot.

During peak hours, the traffic jam time becomes longer, the road passing speed slows down, and traffic accidents occur frequently.

Ele.me riders are relatively not affected, because they have a small storage space under the seat, which contains a light raincoat and some medical supplies for debridement and dressing.

When it rains, the riders will wear Ele.me raincoats and ride high-performance electric bikes to continue traversing the streets of the city.

However, the riders of the cattle takeaway were not so lucky.

The first is that the platform has no emergency preparations, so that after it rains, the first thing the riders think of is shelter from the rain. When the platform began to dispatch orders, many riders chose to refuse because they had not solved the problem of raincoats.

After delaying a peak meal period, the riders finally bought their own raincoats, but the problem quickly resurfaced.

Cyclists work too hard on rainy days, so from the beginning of the rain, the delivery efficiency of cyclists is greatly reduced, and a considerable number of riders even choose to refuse orders all day long, because in their opinion, it is better to accept orders than to work hard in the rain. It may not be able to meet Dixin's standards, so it's better to take this opportunity to rest.

As a result, the rhythm of Niu Takeaway finally ran, and suddenly encountered a huge embolism.

For Niu Waimai, it was like building a relatively spacious road first. As a result, there was no traffic flow at the beginning. Now the traffic flow has finally developed, and the road has been damaged again. Half of the lanes are closed, making the whole road suddenly. Congestion is overwhelming, and drivers and passengers on the road are miserable.

Lu Yunhao thought that the rain was just an emergency for a day or two, but when he saw the weather forecast that it was basically raining in the next few days, the whole person was on the verge of collapse.

The next day, the rain started to get heavier, and the temperature dropped by four or five degrees.

Ele.me has prepared unlimited hot beverages for all riders around the clock at the swap station, including hot coffee, hot soy milk, hot ginger tea, and hot chocolate, which can refresh the mind, ward off cold, and supplement sugar.

As for Niu Takeaway, more than 70% of the cyclists got up and saw that the rain outside was heavier than yesterday, so they stopped taking orders today.

It's no wonder they don't have the spirit of hard work. The key is rainy weather, the efficiency of bicycle delivery is very slow, and the physical exertion is huge. It is difficult to complete basic tasks. , it's better not to go out.

In addition, the electric vehicle distribution team of Niu Waimai is not easy to handle. The roads are congested in rainy days. The time, energy and even the power of electric vehicles required for each order are much higher than usual. The overall distribution efficiency also had a great impact.

Under the influence of various parties, the order volume of Niu Takeaway on the second day of the rainy season was reduced by 65% ​​compared with the peak period, which was even worse than the halving.

On the third day, Lu Yunhao stayed up all night.

He stood on the balcony of the apartment he rented, watching the rapid rain at night, praying that the weather would clear up tomorrow.

However, after dawn, the rain did not mean to slow down in the slightest.

On the contrary, compared to yesterday, it has been slightly enhanced.

Lu Yunhao couldn't sit still.

A platform that just got up, is so ill-fated, it really makes him unacceptable.

It's okay to be attacked by Li Mu in various ways. The key is that God doesn't give him a meal. As soon as he got on the right track, he was knocked back to its original shape by this continuous rain.

For any platform, the lower the frequency of users, the lower the viscosity, which is inevitable.

At present, the distribution link of Niu Takeaway is severely restricted by the weather. For three consecutive days, the platform has been limited in current and orders. A large number of users cannot order food, and the viscosity, which is not high, has dropped down.

Today, more than 80% of cyclists give up taking orders, and 35% of e-bike riders give up taking orders.

The order volume of Niu Takeaway fell further.

And this heavy rain has no meaning to stop.

By day four, more than half of the cyclists had offered to leave.

They didn't want to continue to spend so much, and decided to look for other jobs, at least one that didn't have to wait for the bike to run around every day.

Lu Yunhao was forced to do so, so he could only increase the salaries of cyclists, so that their daily basic salary was around 6-80 yuan. Not only that, but also lowered the original 60-yuan requirement.

In this way, the trouble of cyclists leaving their jobs was temporarily suppressed, but more troubles followed.

First of all, the efficiency of the rider cannot be improved, and it is now in the rainy season, so the efficiency is lower, but the efficiency is low, and the money has risen. In this way, each order will lose nearly ten yuan in the delivery fee alone, which is more than burning. Money is scary.

Secondly, electric bike riders have a lot of opinions. Why do they earn more while giving less? Just because we have electric cars? Riding an electric bike is also very painful. I don’t know how many times I have to go to the power station every day. It’s not fair.

Lu Yunhao immediately asked his subordinates to appease the emotions of the electric bike riders. In any case, electric bike riders are the mainstay of order delivery, and nothing can make them slow down.

On the fifth day, the rain continued.

Hundreds of electric bike riders from Niuwaiwai suddenly resigned to the company, which caused Lu Yunhao to be in chaos.

He didn't understand why there was a wave of resignations in the past two days. Some cyclists resigned collectively, and some electric bike riders resigned collectively.

After Zheng Chao immediately understood the situation, he came back and told Lu Yunhao: "Mr. Lu, Ele.me has made a push in our coverage area today, saying that the city is recruiting 2,000 electric bike riders, and there are food delivery riders. Experience is a priority.”

Lu Yunhao's face darkened: "Recruiting riders within our coverage area?"

"Yes!" Zheng Chao said, "Not only do they offer high pay, but also high commissions, and all the electric cars, incubators, and even uniforms are provided by Ele.me."

After speaking, Zheng Chao said again: "Our electric bike riders have great opinions on our electric bikes and our electric bike logistics team, especially since they deal with Ele.me's riders every day and know what's going on over there. After that, I was very envious of them, especially their electric vehicle performance, as well as their logistics and treatment, and now Ele.me is recruiting riders, and they are all excited."

Zheng Chao is right, the rider of Niu Takeaway is really excited.

They have always envied the super-high treatment of Ele.me riders. Among them, the most envious of Ele.me's lithium battery electric vehicles.

For their own electric bikes, they need to replace the battery after a few runs. It is not only a hassle to replace the battery, but also has to queue up. Every time they see an Ele.me rider riding a battery for half a day, it takes less than ten minutes to change a battery for another half a day. Just dying of envy.

Now, Ele.me suddenly openly expands the team of riders, so they will naturally have the opportunity to join Ele.me.

Moreover, the recruitment advertisement also said that the priority given to the experience of food delivery riders means that there is a greater chance of joining Ele.me?

Therefore, the electric car delivery staff of these cattle takeaways have signed up for Ele.me. In half a day, the number of applicants has exceeded 700.

After listening to Zheng Chao, Lu Yunhao smashed his phone in anger.

He angrily scolded: "Hungry? It's a priority to have work experience as a food delivery rider, isn't that just showing that it's against us? Now that we're the only ones on the market, it's showing that we want to recruit our riders! "

Zheng Chao nodded and said helplessly: "There's no way, Mr. Lu, we can't keep these riders at all. They have long hated our electric cars and our logistics system. Ele.me's electric cars are enough. Get them excited."

Lu Yunhao gritted his teeth and said, "Li Mu is too ruthless. He added 2,000 riders in the Shanghai market alone. How many people can he use?"

Zheng Chao said seriously: "Mr. Lu, Ele.me is not short of money, technology, or products. Rapidly increasing the market share is the most important thing for them right now, so it makes sense to be our enemy. "

Lu Yunhao asked, "What about our rider team? More than 700 people have all resigned?"

Zheng Chao nodded and said, "They have all mentioned their resignation, and they made it clear that they will not come back to work tomorrow."

Saying that, Zheng Chao sighed: "We have no binding force on these riders at all. They can do what they want, and we can't do it if they don't want to. We can't do anything if we want to change jobs."

"Why?" Lu Yunhao scolded: "Why can't we do anything? They are our employees. It stands to reason that they should completely obey us and even be controlled by us. Why are we being controlled by them now?

Zheng Chao blurted out: "If you look at the benefits of riders alone, it is indeed a very good job. Even some college students in the office are not as paid as food delivery riders, but the problem now is that the entire industry is dominated by Li Mu. Manipulating behind the scenes, Li Mu is also setting industry standards, and we have no right to speak at all."

The right to speak is the key to the competition between the two, which is why Western technology companies like to set standards in a certain field. Once they have the ability and status to set standards, they can force their competitors to follow their own. standard.

All the standards for the food delivery business are now set by Li Mu. Even if Bill Gates comes, others may not have the ability to grab the right to speak from Li Mu.

Not to mention a mere Lu Yunhao.

The rainy season in Shanghai is very long, and this year's rainfall seems to be much heavier than in previous years.

On the sixth day, Niu Takeaway almost came to a standstill.

Consecutive days of rain have resulted in a lot of water on the road, and the drainage system of the entire city is facing a huge test.

The cost of food delivery for bicycle riders is getting higher and higher. Although the salary is high, the physical strength and ability are limited, so there is no way for the rider to do it.

To make matters worse, the team of electric bike riders walked more than half of the way, and the real mid-stream addresses of the platform were all poached by Ele.me.

Niu Takeaway can only limit the flow and orders again, and the restrictions are much stronger than before...
