Liu Haotian looked at Li Guohao and said: "Comrade Li Guohao, you are still a little too impatient. As I said, please listen to me.
This matter needs to be analyzed in detail.
Let me answer your question first.
First of all, I do not deny the convenience that food delivery platforms bring to the lives of ordinary people, and I do not advocate the complete closure of food delivery platforms, because that would be a historical step back.
However, at this stage, because the food delivery platforms have a monopoly, they use their strong legal power to avoid paying social security for their food delivery riders. There are even food delivery riders who died unexpectedly during the food delivery process, but they can only
I received a compensation of 2,000 yuan from the company, and it was clearly stated that the compensation was based on humane elements.
Comrades, as leaders of the Dongping City Government, don’t you think that those food delivery riders who work for the food delivery platform are a little pitiful?
Of course, the food delivery platform has indeed solved the survival problems of a large number of people with middle and low education. From this point of view, its role is positive.
However, food delivery platforms use their strong legal power to avoid paying social security for food delivery riders. This problem is real.
They can come up with various reasons to refuse to pay social security to these riders, and the reasons they give even make you feel that they are reasonable.
However, as a law, it should be fair.
The law stipulates that all companies must pay social security contributions to their employees.
In order to avoid paying social security, these food delivery platforms often subcontract the business of food delivery riders and let subcontractors be responsible for managing these food delivery riders. No matter what happens to the food delivery riders, it has nothing to do with the food delivery platform.
Don’t you think this is very sad?
At least that's what I think!
Because our legal team includes legal experts and top lawyers, they have no temper or method for food delivery platforms to use subcontracting and other methods to avoid paying social security for food delivery riders.
This is the power of capital!
This is the power of capital!”
Speaking of this, Liu Haotian sighed deeply again: "I'm sorry, I couldn't help but go off topic when talking about the issue of delivery riders.
Now let’s get back to business and talk about the connection between prepared dishes and food safety.
We just mentioned that the profits earned by catering companies that now do business through takeout platforms are far less than the profits taken by takeout platforms. Even such high commissions are unbearable for many takeout platforms. In addition,
Due to the impact of the epidemic, we can only close our doors.
Some catering companies, in order to increase their profits, improve their production efficiency, and especially reduce labor costs, have to reduce the number of chefs and reduce production costs.
It is under this strong market demand that the prepared vegetable market began to explode.
When those experts are excitedly discussing that the prepared vegetable market has a scale of hundreds of billions, and when those stock commentators have been optimistic about the prospects of the prepared vegetable market, the deputy mayors present, do you know that the prepared vegetable market
There are many good manufacturers and bad ones. In order to meet the needs of catering companies to increase profits, they produce pre-made dishes on a large scale, and they also want to pursue profits. So in this case, they can only continue to reduce costs. It is better to consider starting from pre-made dishes.
From the food manufacturer to the catering company, if you also consider the market circulation link, then you can imagine that a dish sold in a restaurant for 30 yuan, when this dish is sold to the restaurant in the form of a pre-made dish, it
What will the price be?
8 yuan!
The pre-made dishes priced at 8 yuan are relatively good products.
Who sells these prepared dishes to catering companies?
Often it's the dealer.
Do dealers need to make money?
Let's not give him more money and let him earn two yuan, no less.
If the dealer is just an ordinary distributor and he needs to purchase goods from the general dealer, then the general dealer must make at least one dollar, right?
In other words, the total dealer's purchase cost may be only 5 yuan.
This is still the purchase price after greatly reducing the cost of distribution channels.
In fact, from the factory to the sale, the price difference is at least double.
In other words, the ex-factory price of a pre-made dish worth 8 yuan sold to a catering company is only 4 yuan at most.
For these prepared vegetable manufacturers, don’t they need to make money? That’s impossible!
If a catering company doesn't make 30% to 40% profit, who would still do this?
We settle according to the minimum profit of 30%. In other words, the production cost of a dish sold for 30 yuan in a catering company is only 2 yuan and 80 cents!
So everyone can imagine that if you use 2 yuan and 80 cents to produce a dish with a sales price of 30 yuan, what is the food quality?"
Speaking of this, Liu Haotian's voice became even deeper: "Comrades, let me share with you one more recent research result. I went to the largest Hu's chicken enterprise in Dongping City to conduct research. I saw it with my own eyes.
They are not the potatoes used in the production of large plate chickens. They are not the kind of potatoes that are peeled and cut into pieces for you. They are already cut into pieces and made into sixty-seven mature potatoes. These potatoes are filled with
Put it in a large plastic bag and put it in the freezer.
Comrades, Hu's Large Plate Chicken is a very well-known chain company in our Dongping City. The taste of their products is quite good. I even went to their restaurant to eat there. However, if it hadn't been for this research, I would never have dreamed of it.
Would you have thought that the potatoes used in Hu’s Chicken are semi-finished products?
I communicated with the person in charge of Hu's Large Plate Chicken Company on this issue, and the other party told me that in the past, when the takeout platform had not yet emerged, they would have had dedicated chefs responsible for peeling and dicing the chicken.
, these are standard equipment in the kitchen, they are responsible for preparing side dishes.
But now, in order to survive, their business must cut down on the side dishes staff and retain only the most basic operators, chefs, and these chefs only follow established procedures to heat various semi-finished products that have already been made! Because they
The company's profits simply cannot afford to support so many chefs.
Comrades, do you know how I felt when I heard the person in charge of the company say these words to me?"
The scene suddenly fell silent.
When Liu Haotian said this, everyone felt the shock in their hearts.
Under the gaze of everyone at the scene, Liu Haotian slowly said four words: "A river of sadness!"
After finishing speaking, Liu Haotian sighed deeply again: "Comrades, I would like to ask, when these monopoly capital platforms rely on their monopoly market position to continuously erode the profit margins and living space of real enterprises, when we
When the people of Dongping City have to spend more money, and even pay the cost of their health, to eat those kind of prepared vegetable products, as the leaders of Dongping City, shouldn't we do something for the people?
Are we just going to let these capital monopoly platforms, relying on their market monopoly status, take whatever they want?
After Yangma Daily clearly pointed out that Internet companies should not worry about the traffic of a few vegetables in the people's vegetable basket, what did these Internet monopoly platforms do?
They didn't listen to these words at all. They still went their own way. The major Internet platforms continued to promote the development of community group buying platforms and constantly expanded their territory.
Comrades, I don’t know if you have ever gone to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. I have been!
I have witnessed with my own eyes that the vegetable market around the community where I live has changed from the hustle and bustle of the past to the loneliness now. I have seen with my own eyes that the vendors who used to sell vegetables were forced to push sweet potato carts to bake sweet potatoes, and had to endure the eviction of the urban management.
, and they have to make offerings to the urban management, because if they don’t make offerings to the urban management, they won’t even have a place to sell sweet potatoes.
Comrades, we are cadres of the people. Our first consideration is not the appearance of the city, but the living conditions of the people.
I'm not saying that city appearance is unimportant, but we must first solve the people's survival problems.
However, if you go to every city to communicate with the vendors who set up stalls on the streets, they will tell you that if they want to set up stalls on the streets of the city, they must give local
According to the size of the stall, an ordinary stall of one or two meters will need to pay the urban management at least 600 yuan!
This is still the price in our Dongping City!
And the urban management won’t issue you an invoice! Because they didn’t hand over the money to the state, but put it into their own pockets.
Comrades, the innovation of Internet platforms is indeed world-class, but now, through their huge financial advantages and monopoly positions in a series of market fields, these Internet platforms are constantly expanding their territory of power.
Continuously understand all aspects of the survival needs of our people.
I think that when the people's livelihood field in our Dongping City is completely controlled by these Internet monopoly capitals, although it seems calm on the surface, once our country encounters big events, these Internet capital platforms controlled by foreign capital will
It is very likely to become the most unstable factor.
To give the simplest example, how many listed companies and other large commercial enterprises that have obtained listing status in China through capital financing are constantly responding to the call of the United States and doing things according to the requirements of the United States? And how many companies clearly know that?
Our country does not like the squinty-eyed image imposed by Western snobbery, but these companies choose models with squinty-eyed images for advertising.
Don’t they know that what they do will make us Chinese people feel disgusted in our hearts?
They know! But they don't care!
Because they are full of contempt and contempt for us in their bones!
Don’t forget, these companies rely on our Chinese market to make a living, but they still ignore our national sentiments, ignore our national aesthetics, and directly challenge our bottom line!
Why?
Because behind them is the power of Western capital!
Everyone, these companies are just the tip of the iceberg. You can imagine that when those Internet business platforms controlled by Western monopoly capital make trouble when our country encounters big events, will they become the most unstable factor in society?
?
Of course, I am not saying that these enterprises cannot exist, because the existence of these enterprises will have a huge promotion effect on the development of our social economy.
I mean, we have to set some rules for these companies!
They must understand that there are some bottom lines that cannot be crossed!
We must not only create a good business environment, but also establish rules for capital! We cannot allow capital to expand unscrupulously!
I don’t care what other cities do, but in our Dongping City, we must come up with some measures to protect the legitimate interests of our people!
We cannot let these monopoly capital treat us Dongping City people like leeks and cut them off one crop after another! Absolutely not!"
