Starting at 7:30 in the morning, drivers from the platform began to drive over to occupy seats in the square at the entrance of Bibi headquarters.
Yang Chen arrived at 7:50. At this time, the Bibi platform was surrounded by cars, and all the straight lines on the road were the cars of the platform drivers.
TV reporters, police, and SHIELD security are all in place.
Li Changqi, CEO of Bibi platform, heard the report that drivers had gathered at the headquarters to "rebel" and rushed over without even eating breakfast.
The police are maintaining order and reminding drivers not to be impulsive. They can make reasonable requests peacefully, but they cannot deliberately gather people to cause trouble.
Zhang Xiaoli said to the camera: "We are now in the square in front of the Bibi headquarters office building. You can see that there are many drivers from the Bibi platform gathered here. I don't know why they gather here. Let's do a random interview."<
/p>
Zhang Xiaoli brought the cameraman to Yang Chen and asked, "Master, can I do an interview?"
Yang Chen nodded.
Zhang Xiaoli: "Excuse me, why did you gather at the Bibi headquarters and what happened?"
Yang Chen and others showed the car wash receipt to the camera.
Afterwards, they told what happened to them.
Zhang Xiaoli: "Oh, it means that passengers are unwilling to bear the cleaning fee, and the platform does not provide contact information, nor does it allow drivers to add surcharges to collect cleaning fees, so you are left to bear it yourself. Is this what it means?"
Yang Chen: "That's what it means. But we only make a few hundred yuan a day when driving. If we meet a customer like this, it's like driving for nothing, and we have to pay for gas. It's okay for me to be single now, but they all have families.
To put it bluntly, there is no income for a day, and there is no source of food for the family, children to go to school, bank loans, etc. And we just add surcharges to try to collect them, not that passengers must pay. Our original intention is that passengers see so many surcharges.
If the fee is charged, they will definitely contact us to negotiate. What is the result? The platform completely ignored these situations and directly fined us 400 yuan. Take me as an example. Yesterday, I ran out of money for 465 yuan, and I spent 480 yuan to wash the car in the middle of the night.
Another 400 yuan was deducted by the platform. Miss reporter, do you think I can continue to run after graduation? If it were replaced by a driver who has a family to support, it would take several days to relax. How many days are there in a month?
?They can’t take it easy, life and banks won’t give them a chance. Are you right?”
Zhang Xiaoli: "Listening to what you said, it is indeed very unreasonable. There is no way to communicate, and we are forced to add surcharges and wait for passengers to contact us for negotiation and be fined. Then the Bibi platform is indeed doing something wrong. Then you
What are your demands?"
Yang Chen: "We have only one appeal, let the platform bear such incidental expenses. The platform has to draw a commission from our orders every day, and we cannot not bear all risks and expenses. To put it harshly, this kind of thing is not good for the platform
It's not harmful, but for the driver, it is a "catastrophe" if it happens to him, and he will not be able to recover for many days."
Zhang Xiaoli: "Then why not let passengers bear the cost?"
Yang Chen: "I want the passengers to bear the burden, but to be honest, if you charge the passenger 1 cent more, he will give a bad review. Isn't it? Many passengers are not so enlightened. Sometimes they force the driver to overload the car on purpose in order to save money.
Is it possible to locate a nearby place and ask the driver to deliver a longer distance, etc. Let them bear the cleaning fee of several hundred yuan? If I were a passenger, I wouldn't do it. I am also worried that the driver and the cleaning shop will team up to deceive me.
.right?"
Zhang Xiaoli: "That's true. Listening to your analysis, it is indeed more reasonable and feasible for the platform to bear such incidental expenses. We saw that Mr. Li Changqi, CEO of Bibi Platform, is here. Thank you all for accepting the interview. We will go again
Interview him and convey your demands."
Zhang Xiaoli took the cameraman to interview Li Changqi.
"Haha... Xiao Yang, what you said is so good, clear and logical, neither humble nor overbearing, and well-reasoned. You have the potential to be a leader."
"I just told you to choose you as our leader. Just say this to you. With your courage and courage, you are definitely qualified."
"To be honest, I didn't sleep well last night, and I was particularly worried about what I would do if I offended the platform. But after hearing what Xiao Yang said, I suddenly wasn't afraid anymore. I felt that we were right, and if we really couldn't reach an agreement,
, at worst, we can all change platforms together. Wherever Xiao Yang goes, we will go. If we have more people, we can still negotiate terms with the platform."
"Yes, yes, that's what I mean! Xiao Yang, no matter whether we succeed or not this time, you are the leader of the more than a thousand drivers in our group."
……
If he had not obtained the SHIELD Security Group, Yang Chen might be more concerned about this kind of leadership position.
Because having people is really important in today’s society. They are really useful at critical moments. If there are too many people, they can scare away the opponents.
But Yang Chen already owns the SHIELD Security Company, so he has no interest in being the leader.
However, since everyone is so supportive, it is not convenient for him to refuse.
After all, now he must unify everyone's hearts before he has a chance to force the platform to change the rules.
"Everyone believes in me, and I will definitely not disappoint you. Remember, don't be defeated by each platform. You must stick to our current views and demands. Do you understand?" Yang Chen said loudly.
Drivers quickly responded positively.
"Understood!"
After a while, Li Changqi came with Bibi executives.
"Yang Chen, look at what you have to say and we can't discuss it carefully. Why are you engaging in such a big battle?" Li Changqi said helplessly.
"What's the point of communicating? The customer service won't give me a chance to communicate. It's a one-platform rule! Yesterday I ran over 400 turnovers, spent 480 on washing the car, and was deducted 400 by the platform. Do you think I still need to keep running?"
Yang Chen asked.
Li Changqi sighed and said, "Come on, let's go in and talk."
Yang Chen took several drivers, accompanied by reporters and police, into the headquarters conference room to negotiate with platform executives.
Yang Chen's attitude is very resolute, the platform must bear the cleaning costs.
Li Changqi proposed to let the passengers bear the responsibility, but Yang Chen clearly refused.
Because once this cost is passed on to passengers, the driver will definitely get a bad review. There is no doubt about it.
Only by allowing the platform to bear the costs can the rights and interests of drivers be protected.
However, the Bibi platform’s commission rate is as high as 20%. Each driver may not encounter a few cases of passengers vomiting in the car in a year, and the platform can fully afford it.
And only if the platform is allowed to bear this cost, will they find ways to use big data to provide different charging standards for different customers. In the end, it will still be borne by the passengers themselves, and it will just be shared in the cost of each taxi ride.
p>
After listening to Yang Chen's explanation, Li Changqi and others felt that it made sense.
But the problem came again. Yang Chen and the drivers made such a fuss, which had a very bad impact on the Bibi platform. How to calculate this?
Yang Chen said with a smile: "Whether this matter is bad or positive depends on your performance, doesn't it? You focus on promoting a platform to bear cleaning fees and other incidental expenses to solve the worries of drivers and passengers. Isn't this a good idea?
Publicity point? Don’t you like publicity the most? Doesn’t this give you another chance to show off?”
Just as Li Changqi was about to speak, there was a noise in the square.
Everyone hurried to the window to take a look. There was already a fight in the square.
People from SHIELD Security Company have intervened and are dealing with the security personnel of Bibi Platform.
Everyone hurried down to stop the fight.
Li Changqi shouted: "What's going on? What do you Aegis security people mean? Why did you beat our security personnel?"
Yang Chen explained: "I invited them to come over to protect us, so I guessed that you would definitely take action! Come on, you continue to fight, and we can talk after the fight is over."
Li Changqi looked embarrassed and quickly asked: "What's going on?"
Beep's security guards explained that the drivers had acted excessively and they were just maintaining order.
The drivers said that the security guards at Beep said unpleasant things and scolded them as a bunch of unemployed vagrants who drive dirty cars and dare to make trouble.
Some security guards are like this, unable to hang themselves.
Beating up owners, besieging delivery staff, etc., and even locking ambulances, there is nothing they dare not do.
Obviously they are also the people at the bottom, but they often persecute the people at the bottom the most.
Fortunately, Yang Chen had the foresight to call the SHIELD security personnel over in advance.
Otherwise, many drivers will definitely be beaten up by the fierce look of the security guards on the Bibi Platform.
Li Changqi made a quick decision and said loudly: "All security personnel who retreat are our brothers, and you don't need to be on guard!"
As expected of a CEO, his mind works really fast.
Retreating Bibi's security now can reduce conflicts, show Bibi's sincerity, and prevent Bibi's reputation from continuing to decline.
However, there is no such thing as trying to leave after hitting someone, right?
Yang Chen immediately said: "Officer Chen, you have all seen that they beat us. If we let them go like this, will the law still be majestic?"
Chen Qingxia and others quickly came up and controlled the security guards who were beating people.
Yang Chen gave Zhang Xiang, who had been waiting for a long time, another look, and then Zhang Xiang also walked up, identified himself to the beaten drivers, and expressed his willingness to be their attorney for free.
When Li Changqi saw that Zhang Xiang was here, he immediately panicked.
There are rumors in the world that he is not happy and can send the other party and the other party's lawyer to jail together. How can he come to join in the fun?
Reporters, lawyers, policemen, security guards, everything that should be used is here. It seems that Yang Chen is very well prepared this time and is bound to achieve his goal.
Li Changqi quickly smiled and said: "Lawyer Zhang, it's just a small misunderstanding. I won't bother you to intervene. We will negotiate with them internally and we will make up for it how we need to."
Zhang Xiang smiled and replied: "I am their attorney, so I can still conduct civil mediation. It will not affect it."
The drivers who were beaten immediately stated that they would entrust Zhang Xiang as their attorney to handle the matter of their being beaten.
Li Changqi pursed his lips helplessly, not daring to speak.
The current situation can be said to be that the Bibi platform has been put on a barbecue grill. Whether it is cooked directly or not ignited completely depends on the choice of the Bibi platform.
Li Changqi made a prompt decision and ordered the Finance Department and Data Department to calculate the general situation of cleaning expenses reported by drivers in the past three years.
Both departments immediately took action and spent more than half an hour calculating the results.
The total cleaning expenses reported the year before last was 3.458 million, the total cleaning expenses reported last year were 3.206 million, and the total cleaning expenses reported so far this year is 1.825 million.
Basically, it can be concluded that the annual cleaning expenses are between 3 million and 3.5 million, which is about 10,000 orders a year.
Of course, this is only reported data. In fact, many drivers choose to suffer a loss even though they know that the platform will not process it.
However, generally speaking, there are not many orders for spitting on the car.
You must know that there were 5 billion orders on the Bibi platform last year, and 3.5 billion orders in the first half of this year. The orders placed on the bus by customers are almost negligible.
If you throw away your driver and reputation in order to save such a small amount of money, it would be too uneconomical.
Later, let the data department make slight changes to the fees and commissions for drivers and passengers. Based on the scale of billions of orders per year, these incidental expenses can be easily amortized.
Li Changqi made a decisive decision and immediately announced loudly: "Everyone, be quiet and listen to me. After our strict review, full argumentation, and active discussion, we have determined that the demands of all driver friends are very reasonable. Therefore, starting from 24:00 tonight
, the Beep platform will bear the cleaning expenses incurred by the driver. We will release the specific rules in the future. To the driver friends who were injured due to the misunderstanding just now, on behalf of the platform, I apologize to you and fully bear everyone's medical expenses, lost work expenses, etc.
Please remember that the Bibi platform is always with the drivers and passengers. Thank you everyone for taking the time to help the platform improve today. Let’s go get busy, life must go on. Thank you everyone!”
The drivers immediately cheered.
They also lifted Yang Chen up and put it on their shoulders to receive everyone's cheers and worship.
At this moment, Yang Chen truly became a hero in their minds, the leader who could lead them to fight against the platform.
"We have agreed that as long as our demands are met, we will choose Yang Chen to be our leader. This promise must be effective!"
"Yes! We must fulfill our promise now. From now on, Yang Chen will be the head of our Beep driver, and he will communicate with the platform on our behalf!"
……
Yang Chen said with a smile: "Thank you for your love, I will not let you down. The morning rush hour has been delayed, so everyone should hurry up and start work!"
The drivers were quite obedient and immediately dispersed.
The noisy Bibi headquarters quickly returned to normal.
"Yang Chen, congratulations! If you have any questions in the future, you must meet with me in advance and don't do what you did today. Okay?" Li Changqi said with a smile.
Yang Chen nodded and said: "As long as the problem can be solved, who wants to waste time? You go ahead and go, I will take these friends home to sit around."
Zhang Xiang and the others helped a lot today, and Yang Chen had nothing to thank him for, so he invited them home for a cup of tea.
Soon, Yang Chen took them back to the Huxin Island Villa.
Everyone was shocked, is this Yang Chen’s home?
An online ride-hailing driver lives in a place like this?
Soon, Qiu Yuhong and Zhang Xiang understood.
Being an online ride-hailing driver is just a profession that Yang Chen uses to hide his true identity. He must be a young master from a big family.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to acquire the equity of their two companies and live in this villa worth hundreds of millions.
Zhang Xiaoli was confused and asked quickly: "Mr. Yang, is this your home?"
Yang Chen nodded and said: "Yes! It's my home."
Chen Qingxia quickly asked: "But how can you, an online ride-hailing driver, have so much money?"
"As an online ride-hailing driver, what's wrong with having a little money? I drive for more than ten hours every day, so it's reasonable to make some money." Yang Chen said with a smile.
Zhang Xiaoli smiled and said: "I understand, Mr. Yang is the son of a big family, right?"
Yang Chen smiled, neither denying nor admitting.
Only by letting them think so can Yang Chen explain this.
At this time, Yu Shishi came out.
When Chen Qingxia saw that there was such a beautiful girl in Yang Chen's home, she suddenly felt sour in her heart.
Oops, the male god has a partner.
"Sir, you are back. Hello everyone, welcome. I have made tea. Come in and have a taste." Yu Shishi said with a smile.
Yang Chen introduced: "This is my housekeeper. He is usually responsible for helping me take care of my home and also helping me with some work matters."
Chen Qingxia was overjoyed. It turned out that she was just a housekeeper, so she would still have a chance.
At this time, everyone saw the Bugatti Veyron in the carport.
Qiu Yuhong: "Wow, Mr. Yang also has a Bugatti Veyron."
Zhang Xiang: "Mr. Yang is really amazing. He lives in a villa worth hundreds of millions, drives a car worth tens of millions, and still has the patience to drive an online ride-hailing service. To be honest, if it were me, I definitely wouldn't have such patience.
."
Zhang Xiaoli: "Then what conditions must Mr. Yang meet to return to the family?"
Alas...
They were all harmed by the son-in-law and the Crooked Dragon King novel. When encountering such a situation, they automatically regard it as a family experience and return home to inherit the family business after the term is over.
Yang Chen smiled and said: "I don't know. It's good to drive an online car-hailing service. You can meet all kinds of people every day. I think it's quite interesting. Everyone, come in."
Everyone was originally shocked by these villas worth hundreds of millions, but once they entered the house, they realized that they were superficial.
What’s a villa worth hundreds of millions?
Isn’t the Van Gogh’s work hanging on the wall valuable?
Isn’t the blue and white porcelain on the table valuable?
Is that furniture made of golden nanmu worthless?
Even the faucet is made of gold, isn’t it valuable?
I have seen rich people before, but I have never seen such rich people.
Zhang Xiaoli, who has always been strong, is now as restrained as a little girl.
Zhang Xiang, who has always been domineering and arrogant and dared to send the other party's lawyer to jail, is sitting like a cucumber egg just out of school and not daring to move.
Qiu Yuhong, who was already impressed by Yang Chen, was now even more in awe of him.
Little fan girl Chen Qingxia can no longer hide the love in her eyes.
"Come, let's have tea." Yang Chen greeted with a smile.
Everyone quickly picked up the water cups, only to realize that even the small water cups were really colorful chicken cups.
Brother, isn’t it too extravagant for you to use antiques to make tea sets?
Some people will definitely say that you need to use a purple clay pot to make tea. Please, those are the younger brothers in front of the colorful chicken cup. This is what the ancient emperors used.
Zhang Xiang only took a sip, quickly put down the cup, and then reminded: "There are millions of these things, so everyone should be careful."
Zhang Xiaoli: "Ah! So expensive!"
Chen Qingxia: "Oh my god, I just took a sip, and the wear and tear cost must be tens of thousands."
……
Several people quickly put down their cups.
Yang Chen laughed loudly and said: "It's not that expensive, and it's not an antique. It's just an imitation of the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup. It costs tens of thousands of yuan each, not as expensive as millions. That's the price of antiques.
."
Chen Qingxia: "It's very expensive even if it costs tens of thousands! I can't bear to drink tea with this kind of thing."
Qiu Yuhong: "Haha... If I'm not mistaken, these tables and chairs are made of golden nanmu, which you can't even buy if you have money. If Officer Chen said that, the wear and tear cost of us sitting down for a while might be several thousand dollars."
That’s all.”
Chen Qingxia was shocked and quickly stood up and said: "I know the golden nanmu, that thing is very expensive. A few years ago, we collected the golden nanmu from a farmer uncle, which was worth hundreds of millions. Oh my God, this is too expensive.
It’s so expensive that I don’t even dare to sit there.”
Yang Chen: "Haha... don't be like this. I brought you back to express my gratitude to everyone, not to show off in front of you. If you do this, I'm so embarrassed. I won't dare to bring my friends back in the future." Everyone laughed and relaxed a little.
After some chatting and laughing, everyone was very happy...
Yang Chen didn’t want to waste everyone’s time, so he just expressed his feelings.
Yang Chen and Yu Shishi saw the guests off and watched them walk down the bridge before returning.
……
At this time, the US headquarters office of Longmei International Pharmaceutical Group located in New York, USA, sent a notice to the shareholder American Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturing Association. Mr. Yang Chen from Longguo acquired the equity of multiple shareholders and acquired some from retail investors.
Equity, currently holds 20% of the group's equity and is the third largest shareholder.
At the same time, the Longguo headquarters office of Longmei International Pharmaceutical Group located in Longguo Haicheng sent a notice to the shareholder Longguo Pharmaceutical Association. Mr. Yang Chen from Longguo acquired 20% of the group’s equity and became the third largest shareholder of the group.
.
Although the news is the same, the impact on the two shareholders is very different. It can even be said that their moods are completely opposite.
Thomas Robinson, the person in charge of the U.S. headquarters, looked at the report sent by the secretary, frowned, and fell into deep thought.
A man from Longguo suddenly acquired so many shares. What was his purpose?
"Come here, help me contact Yang Chen. I want to talk to him." Thomas Robinson said.
……
Zhang Senmiao, the head of Longguo headquarters, laughed happily. A Longguo person acquired 20% of the shares. Doesn’t that mean that Longguo will have more say in future shareholders’ meetings?
As a person from the Dragon Kingdom, Yang Chen must support the Dragon Kingdom Medical Association, right?
"Come here, help me contact Yang Chen. I want to pay him a visit." Zhang Senmiao ordered.
……
Both of them have a common goal, which is to win over Yang Chen to their side.
The situation is very clear now. Whoever Yang Chen supports in the future will have his proposal passed.
If Yang Chen objects to someone, his proposal will be rejected.
They still don’t know what to do.
This is what was mentioned before. The 20% equity owned by Yang Chen not only gets a value of more than one billion meters of gold, but also has more invisible benefits.
After all, if you want to win over him, it makes sense not to give him any benefits, right?
