Chapter 150 Make Him Spit It Out

Zhan Ruofeng: ...

Miss Ye, please don't be like this, I'm scared.

As Zhan Ruofeng hesitated whether to agree or decline, Ye Zhi suddenly asked, "Mr. Zhan, how much do you know about the express delivery industry?"

The topic shifted too quickly, leaving Zhan Ruofeng somewhat unable to react. He pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know much about the express delivery industry, but the Zhan family has a certain investment in Feitong Express. We are still optimistic about the prospects of the express delivery industry."

"Indeed," Ye Zhi agreed. "Once mobile phones become more widespread and network speeds increase again, people's lifestyles will undergo new changes. At that time, online shopping will become a part of people's lives, and express delivery, as a link in this chain, will also have infinite prospects, but Feitong is an exception."

Zhan Ruofeng was slightly taken aback. He smiled and said, "Miss Ye, your Shunda Express and Feitong are competitors. It seems inappropriate for you to say this in front of me."

"As an investor in Feitong, shouldn't you understand more from various perspectives to avoid being misled? Moreover," Ye Zhi changed the subject, "don't you want to learn more about your opponent's intelligence?"

Zhan Ruofeng: ...

He suddenly understood why Zhan Ruoqing trusted Ye Zhi so much. Ye Zhi truly possessed a very powerful ability to trick... cough, persuade people.

Seeing that he was no longer resisting, Ye Zhi continued, "Mr. Zhan, do you know about the great battle on the Zhiwei website today?"

"I took a glance. Was it the incident where the delivery person argued with the user?" Zhan Ruofeng asked.

Ye Zhi nodded. "The root of this matter is that Feitong, in order to shorten delivery times, allowed delivery personnel to place packages directly at drop-off points. However, these drop-off points were not responsible for the security of the packages, which led to the current situation.

Mr. Zhan, Feitong's method of stirring up conflict and making delivery personnel and users fight can temporarily mask the problem, but can it continue to deceive like this? Lies always have a way of being exposed."

"So," Zhan Ruofeng mused, "Miss Ye intends to expose this lie and compete with Feitong in this manner?"

"I don't have to. If we were to compete," Ye Zhi suddenly smiled, "I would just need to run advertisements all over the internet with a slogan like, '[Shunda Express, Never Lost Packages, Guaranteed Delivery],' what do you think the effect would be?"

Zhan Ruofeng's expression grew serious. He had to admit that Ye Zhi's method was both cunning and effective. This was simply profiting from Feitong's misfortune!

If Ye Zhi were to do this, dissatisfied users of Feitong would directly switch to Shunda.

"Mr. Zhan, there are some situations regarding Feitong's drop-off points that you may not be aware of." Ye Zhi spoke calmly and eloquently. "Feitong delivery personnel earn about 0.7 to 1.5 yuan per order. However, when they place packages at drop-off points, they are charged a fee ranging from 0.3 to 0.5 yuan. This money all goes into Feitong's accounts.

The cost per order for delivery personnel is kept extremely low. To earn money, they can only rely on volume, rushing to deliver packages from morning till night. But once a package is lost, after deducting the fees, they might only earn three to four thousand yuan, or even less, after a month of hard work.

Mr. Zhan, do you think such an express delivery company can retain its employees? Without delivery personnel, with a large number of packages accumulating, do you think users will continue to choose Feitong?"

Zhan Ruofeng's expression became solemn.

"Of course, for capitalists, labor is cheap, and there will always be someone to fill the void," Ye Zhi continued. "The drop-off points are a ticking time bomb that will eventually explode, so I won't say more. But there is another matter that Feitong has likely not told you.

I've looked into Feitong's drop-off points. Some busy ones can earn tens of thousands for Feitong in a month! And Feitong only pays the drop-off points a few hundred to a thousand yuan... Oh, right, these are the funds that you, the sucker investors, helped Feitong pay for, aren't they? Feitong essentially spent nothing. xxs12

I don't know if Feitong's business capabilities are strong, but the methods of Feitong's boss, who profits from both sides, are truly brilliant. A single drop-off point exploits the delivery personnel and then the investors. Guess how much Yang Xu's personal wallet has fattened?"

Zhan Ruofeng's face turned extremely unpleasant. Indeed, Yang Xu had requested a lot of investment under the guise of promoting drop-off points nationwide. Although the Zhan family did not co-invest, no one wanted to be played for a fool!

"Miss Ye, do you mean for the Zhan family to withdraw their investment from Feitong?" Zhan Ruofeng asked tentatively.

"No," Ye Zhi smiled brightly. "I hope we can cooperate and make Feitong disgorge all the money it has taken!"

Zhan Ruofeng was quite surprised. He realized that he couldn't seem to see through the woman in front of him. Her thoughts always exceeded his expectations and even guided his own thoughts.

Just as he was about to ask for more details, a waiter brought over two steaks.

"Let's eat first," Ye Zhi said.

Zhan Ruofeng had to set aside his doubts. However, he kept replaying Ye Zhi's words, finding it somewhat difficult to enjoy his meal.

After finishing the meal, Zhan Ruofeng eagerly asked, "Miss Ye, how do you plan to cooperate?"

"Mr. Zhan, let's talk in another place," Ye Zhi suggested.

"Ah?" Zhan Ruofeng was stunned. "Can't we talk here?"

"There are no physical objects here, which will make it difficult for you to fully grasp," Ye Zhi shook her head.

Zhan Ruofeng's heart skipped a beat.

He really didn't want to overthink it! But what physical objects... this made it too easy to misinterpret!

Was Miss Ye playing that boldly?! He began to feel afraid again!

"Mr. Zhan, let's go. Believe me, you won't regret this trip," Ye Zhi said sincerely.

Zhan Ruofeng was very conflicted, but in the end, he agreed.

Fine, he would follow her first. If Ye Zhi really intended to do something to him, he would consider whether to resist...

Finally, Zhan Ruofeng drove, nervously following Ye Zhi's car. However...

When Ye Zhi's car stopped in front of a warehouse in Taoxun, Zhan Ruofeng was full of questions.

Why did Ye Zhi bring him here?

He got out of the car and saw Jin Mian walking towards them.

"Ms. Ye, I've delivered the items you asked me to prepare," Jin Mian said.

"Thank you, Jin Mian," Ye Zhi said with a smile.

Zhan Ruofeng became even more confused. What was going on?

"Mr. Zhan, please follow me," Ye Zhi said.

Zhan Ruofeng followed Ye Zhi to a slightly strange cabinet.

He asked in surprise, "What is this..."

"A sample of a parcel locker," Ye Zhi said solemnly. "In fact, Feitong is not without its merits. At least it solves the last mile of delivery, and it can greatly improve delivery efficiency. But the premise is that the packages must be delivered safely to the users.

Zhan Ruofeng: ...

So, this was the physical object? This was seeing and experiencing it firsthand?
