"The overall idea is still correct. Since the market share is leading, we should also adjust the commission. What is the current commission ratio of Magnesium Group?"
Chen Dongcheng first praised Wang Puzhong and then asked.
"20%, this is the commission rate for merchants who sign exclusive contracts. Non-exclusive ones vary in different regions. The most expensive one may reach 26%."
Wang Puzhong replied without thinking.
“A bit high.”
Chen Dongcheng frowned but said nothing.
"There is nothing we can do. The market has stabilized before, as was the case with Are You Hungry and Magnesium Tuan? Even so, we are still unable to make ends meet."
Wang Puzhong spread his hands, wondering who made the previous three families fight so fiercely.
Even if the market share is stable, it is still burning money on a small scale.
Although the commission is relatively harsh, the money still has to be used to subsidize the riders, and money is spent during some holidays.
"The commission is tentatively set at 15%. Some high-quality merchants can lower it further as appropriate. You can control this yourself."
Chen Dongcheng thought for a while, and the reason why Magnesium Group was hacked so badly was because of its ruthless commissions.
But it’s normal to think about it. At that time, Magnesium Group was anxious to go public. Naturally, it wanted to improve its revenue, so it had to target those merchants.
Now that Magnesium Tuan has been annexed by him, there is no need to provoke public outrage.
On the contrary, lowering commissions can gain the support of many merchants.
"Uh, okay, then this is an exclusive treatment?"
Wang Puzhong was stunned for a moment and asked hesitantly.
"There is no need to be exclusive or not, as if we are a dictatorship."
"But everything has its closeness. For those merchants who take the initiative to approach us, we can't break their hearts, can we?"
Chen Dongcheng smiled and said, "All businesses that use our platform as the core should take more care of them when subsidizing them."
"I understand."
Wang Puzhong was promoted so quickly because what he was best at was trying to figure out what the leader wanted.
Who doesn’t know that the boss wants both reputation and manipulation of these people?
Think about it, although Cao Cao Takeout does not require you to sign an exclusive contract.
However, those merchants who rely on Cao Cao's takeout from time to time will participate in activities from time to time, and usually receive subsidies from the platform.
Although those low-end merchants can receive orders from Hungry?, how many orders can they receive?
Do you really think that if you offend the leading platform in the market, you will get something good?
Although this trick is not too advanced, it is enough to control those merchants.
"Do it beautifully. You will be in charge of the takeout business from now on. Don't let me down."
Chen Dongcheng stood up and walked to Wang Puzhong, patted his shoulder, and said these words seriously.
"Don't worry, I will definitely take care of it."
Wang Puzhong finally let go of his hanging heart, and quickly stood up and replied respectfully.
"Well, go ahead."
Chen Dongcheng nodded with a satisfied smile and watched Wang Puzhong leave the office.
As a qualified boss, on the premise of knowing people and making good use of them, you must also keep a secret.
Gan Jiawei was promoted to share Zhang Tao's power.
The chief operating officer puts it nicely, he is the assistant general manager.
But to put it bluntly, it means decentralization.
As for the takeout business, even a fool can see that it is very important.
Elites like Wang Puzhong who have nothing to do with Zhang Tao will be labeled as his faction after being reused by Chen Dongcheng.
Zhang Tao saw all this, but had no other thoughts at all.
After all, he is just an employee.
As long as you complete the tasks assigned by your boss, that's enough.
Sometimes, being too greedy for power is not a good thing.
Zhang Tao, who has experienced ups and downs, has long looked past these.
What's more, Chen Dongcheng helped him avenge himself and showed him kindness, so his loyalty to Chen Dongcheng is still very high.
"By the way, Mr. Zhang recently transferred people to set up a new department to focus on online ticket sales."
Naturally, Chen Dongcheng would not chill this veteran's heart, and immediately assigned Zhang Tao an important task.
"Online ticketing business?"
Zhang Tao felt warm in his heart, as employees were just like the officials in ancient times.
We are not afraid of the boss decentralizing power, but we are afraid that the boss will not trust us.
"Yes, I plan to make the entertainment company under the previous group bigger. The online ticketing business is the most suitable and easiest link for us to enter."
Chen Dongcheng naturally did not need to hide anything from Zhang Tao and did not hide his ambitions at all.
"But, Mr. Chen, Magnesium Group still held part of the equity of Maoyan. Now we are going to do online ticketing business. Will Maoyan have any objections?"
Zhang Tao thought more about it. He already had Maoyan equity, so there was no need to set up another company?
"It's different. What I want is control, not a negligible stake. I will sell Maoyan's stake as soon as possible, and the funds obtained will be used as start-up capital for the newly established department. The group's funds will also be slightly tilted."
Although it was just an understatement, it made Zhang Taoban wake up.
Yes, my boss is very ambitious, so how could I be willing to give up the right to speak to others?
Speaking of Maoyan movies, many people don’t even know about them.
Its predecessor is Magnesium Film Group, which was established as early as 2012.
I have to say that Wang Xing has a really vicious vision.
In that year, there were only a few people who were optimistic about the online ticket sales business.
However, Wang Xing directly invested heavily in setting up an online ticket sales department.
Compared with the up-and-comers Taopiaopiao and Yupiaoer, Maoyan Movies has a two-year first-mover advantage.
It once occupied more than 70% of the market share in the online ticketing industry.
However, Wang Xing ultimately ran out of funds.
As the online ticketing business is expanded by Wang Xing, capital naturally begins to pay attention.
In 2015, BAT used online ticket sales as a breakthrough to enter the film industry.
As a separate business unit of Meituan, Maoyan Movies is difficult to compete with the other three companies in terms of traffic and funds.
Although the market share is gradually lost to Taopiaopiao, Yupiaoer and Baidu Nuomi Movies, it still has a leading advantage.
However, Maoyan Films, as the besieged party, can only see its market share being further divided.
Under pressure, Wang Xing split Maoyan Films from Meituan and introduced strategic investment from Enlight Media, which alleviated the downward trend.
Later, various business lines of Wang Xing went to war, and they paid less and less attention to Maoyan movies.
In the end, only a small part of the equity was retained and the rest was sold to the Rays.
No matter what the outside world thinks, Chen Dongcheng will not allow any flaws in his entertainment empire.
"I understand, but Maoyan is preparing to go public in Hong Kong. Since we want to clear out Maoyan's stocks, we must go faster."
What Zhang Tao is thinking about now is how to find a buyer as soon as possible. This transaction cannot be delayed.
"Go find Teng Xun."
Chen Dongcheng said directly without thinking: "Tengxun will definitely not miss the opportunity to strengthen its voice in Maoyan, and we can give them a discount."
"The previous valuation of Maoyan was not 20 billion. You can contact Tengxun and we will give them a 10% discount."
Although Chen Dongcheng doesn't know much about Maoyan, he still remembers that this company seemed to have a huge hit just after it went public, with a market value of less than 15 billion.
Even if you give Tengxun a 10% discount, Chen Dongcheng will make a lot of money.
