NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1044: The Cao Surname
Capital City.
The business center where high-rise buildings stand tall.
A red car breaks away from the busy traffic and stops in front of a building. The owner, dressed in casual attire, gets out and looks up.
The words "Great Wall" seamlessly blend with the majestic structure, gleaming brilliantly under the sunlight.
The gentle and handsome owner of the car averts his gaze. Just as he's about to head into the building, he suddenly notices a few delivery workers sitting on their electric scooters by the roadside, munching on their breakfasts and chatting boastfully while eating simple breakfasts.
In the past, delivery workers raced against the clock, wishing they could ride their little e-scooters with the thrill of a road race. Where was there such leisure then?
Maybe it's because of the uniforms they wear?
The green uniforms representing health have "Great Wall Special Delivery" prominently printed on the back.
"If my son could get into Great Wall in the future, I'd be content."
"Isn't that simple? When you can't do it anymore, pass your scooter to your son, and he'll just follow in your footsteps, won't he?"
"Get outta here. How could my son still be delivering food? At the very least, he'd be in charge of delivering food. I just went inside to deliver coffee, and wow, the inside of Great Wall is truly beautiful."
"Isn't that obvious? How powerful is the Great Wall Group? Without it, would we have such good days now? Could we afford a house after just a few years of work?"
"What's wrong with delivering food? I think it's pretty good. We don't get worse treatment than those office workers. I support my son continuing to deliver food in the future."
"You haven't even gotten married."
"Hehe, isn't getting married simple? After working for a couple more years and saving up, aren't there plenty of girls back home?"
"Why don't you say there are plenty of girls in Capital City?"
"Forget it, I still like the girls from my place."
"I also think delivering food is pretty good. It's free, it's fun, and customers or service reps at the same level can't supervise me, nor can they. From Kangaroo to Great Wall Special Delivery, I've been doing it for many years. I basically complete every order I want. If I don't want to take an order, no one else can complete it either. Are there customers that oppose me? Yes, but very few, unless they don't want to eat."
The owner of the red car standing by and listening couldn't help but let a smile curl on his lips.
Although it was just baseless bragging, these delivery workers at the very bottom of society seemed to have gained something they didn't have before.
Enthusiasm for life, and hope.
The few delivery workers didn't seem in a hurry to take orders and make money. They were still chatting, but the owner of the red car listened no more and walked into the Great Wall building.
"Lan, Mr. Song is here."
Lan Peizhi didn't look up, "Hmm."
The slender secretary turned around, went to the door, opened it, and extended her hand with a smile, "Mr. Song, please come in."
Song Chaoge walked into the office.
"Mr. Song, would you like anything to drink?"
"No, thank you."
The secretary smiled elegantly, exited the office, and closed the door.
Without intentionally neglecting, Lan Peizhi, who's browsing through documents, raised her head, "Sit."
"Aunt Lan, you can carry on, it's okay."
Song Chaoge walked closer, pulled out a chair in front of the desk, and sat down.
Although he said that, Lan Peizhi certainly wouldn't disregard him like air. No matter what, a guest is a guest.
"You've lost weight."
Lan Peizhi put down the document.
Song Chaoge smiled wryly, "Really? Seems like my recent workouts are paying off."
Then he chatted, "I just saw some Great Wall Special Delivery guys slacking off downstairs. At this time, it should be the morning rush; many people might be busy going to work and haven't had breakfast yet. Aunt Lan, this situation should be reported to the department responsible for food delivery. Delivery workers slacking off means customers receive their meals late, which is a big loss for the platform."
If those delivery guys downstairs knew, they surely wouldn't have let him walk away just now.
"Are you sure they're not Kangaroo's people?"
"How could they be? They're all in green uniforms. They should still be there now, Aunt Lan. If you look down, you can still see them."
A joke is just a joke.
"In half a year since going online, Great Wall Special Delivery grabbed 35% of the market share. Aunt Lan, congratulations."
35%.
Never underestimate this number.
You should know that before Great Wall Special Delivery emerged, the delivery platform was essentially monopolized by one company. Kangaroo almost had the entire market cornered.
Great Wall Special Delivery forcefully broke through Kangaroo's blows and blockades, paving a path in an already solidified field. The number of delivery workers has already reached 40% of Kangaroo's workforce. Although still in a disadvantaged position, it shows a fierce ambition to overthrow Kangaroo.
And you should know, it's only been half a year.
Even if the leading position remains intact, Kangaroo's CEO, Yu Fen, is likely sleepless and anxious now.
"This result was practically achieved within three months of going online. What's worth celebrating."
This certainly can't be considered commercial secrets, no need for confidentiality. In truth, as Lan Peizhi mentioned, the first three months of Great Wall going live were the most intense battle. Offering high benefits caught Kangaroo off guard and quickly established a foothold. In response, Kangaroo was forced to also raise its benefits, barely stabilizing its position and curbing the frenzied expansion of Great Wall Special Delivery.
Now the two sides are locked in a standoff.
One side fights to seize from the tiger's mouth, while the other vows to defend its territory to the death. Both sides have to spend enormous wealth on this every day.
Just like historic commercial wars: whoever can't bear it first will fall.
Great Wall Special Delivery, backed by the Great Wall Group, continuously receives financial support. And Kangaroo is not fighting alone. After merging with Hungry Hippo, Kangaroo and Hippo formed a strategic alliance. Kangaroo dared to resolutely choose to follow up on the benefits, not only drawing from its years of monopoly market reserves but also with substantial backing from Hippo.
