Two days later, the elven maids could enter mass production.
The foreign engineers had to carry more complicated work equipment, so their progress would be slower.
Moreover, the foreign engineers' test training was not over yet, so they could not rush it.
At noon.
In the CEO's reception room on the 60th floor of the Monster Industries Building, Ye Qing met with President Zhang of Meiyu Takeout.
If the logistics industry was said to be filled with talents, then Meiyu Takeout.
In the takeout industry, Meiyu was considered to be the tallest tree in the forest and had no rivals.
Looking back at last year's takeout market share, Meiyu alone accounted for 67.3%.
The original rival, Hungry, now only had 26.9% of the market share, and it had fallen into an irreversible decline.
In order to fit the theme of the meeting, Ye Qing specially asked the logistics department to set up a dessert table, a cold dish table, a wine table, and a semi-self-service hot dish area in the reception room.
President Zhang of Meiyu did not dare to neglect Mr Ye's invitation a few days ago.
Even though Meiyu was completely different from Monster Industries, they did not need to rely on the Skynet aviation logistics system under Monster Industries like the logistics industry.
President Zhang of Meiyu still brought the two executives early and took the Banshee aircraft chartered by Monster Industries to Zhongyun.
They visited the Monster Industries Building in the morning and met with Mr Ye at noon.
Before the meeting, he was still talking to the two executives about what the rumored Mr Ye would use to entertain them.
When they walked into the reception room, President Zhang and the two executives were surprised to find that the reception room had been decorated like a mini business banquet.
The wine table was filled with rare collectible wines. The cold dish and hot dish tables were also filled with fragrant and exquisite dishes, as well as fresh ingredients that could be processed on the spot.
Mr Ye was thoughtful.
This unique reception room layout made the two executives of Meiyu and President Zhang, who relied on food takeout to reach the peak of their lives, very happy.
They were about to go forward and shake hands with Mr Ye, but after taking two steps, they stopped and rubbed their eyes in disbelief.
？？？
Why were the chefs standing behind the wine table, hot and cold dish table, and dessert table..
There was something wrong with these chefs.
They took a closer look and saw that they were not human.
There were two more chefs standing behind the hot dish counter. There were a total of five chefs, and all of them were robots wearing chef uniforms.
Seeing that the guests had turned their attention to them, the robots waved at them in unison.
Mr. Zhang and the two senior executives held back their curiosity and continued to walk forward. Ye Qing also warmly welcomed them.
After exchanging pleasantries, Ye Qing invited them to take a seat.
President Zhang of Mei Feng could be considered a person born in the 80s, although he could not be compared to Mr Ye, who was born in the 90s. However, he was also one of the youngest people in the world to be ranked in the top few.
Since they were all young people, it was easy for them to start a conversation.
Mr. Zhang asked Ye Qing, "Those robots look very beautiful. Are they Monster Industries' display products?"
Ye Qing said that it was a mass-produced product that Monster Industries was about to release. Looking at it now, it looked like it was going to be officially released.
When they first saw the elven maid, no one could resist their curiosity.
President Zhang and the two executives beside him were no exception.
It was very simple to satisfy their curiosity. In order to fit the theme of the meeting, not only were there beauties set up, but the elven maid was also a part of the theme.
When they learned that the elven maid was not only capable of many housekeeping services, but also could cook good dishes, President Zhang and the two executives could no longer hold back their curiosity and ran to the hot dish counter.
They chose ingredients that suited their tastes and let the elven maid process them on the spot.
Steamed mandarin fish.
Braised pork.
Braised chicken.
T-bone steak.
Kung Pao chicken.
Cashew shrimp …
The ingredients looked homely, but the fresh ingredients that could be placed here, from seasonings to onion and ginger, to meat and vegetables, were all the best varieties that could be purchased.
Combined with the elven maid's cooking skills and the huge novelty of the smart robot's dishes.
It could be said that the lunch banquet was the most unforgettable meal that President Zhang and the two executives had ever had.
Especially when the person who invited them was Mr Ye from Monster Industries.
They talked as they ate.
As they talked, they watched the elven maid cook with light and precise hands. It was so novel.
"Mr Ye, you're talking about after the elven maid goes on sale. Our Meiyu's delivery riders can directly store the fresh fruits in the cloud cabinet with a refrigeration function or directly hand them to the robot? "
"That's right." Ye Qing raised his glass and took a sip of wine. He said, "As far as I know, the fruit delivery service on Meiyu has been recognized by the market."
"The fruit delivery order is not much worse than the food delivery order."
"But there seems to be a lack of fresh produce."
"I did an employee survey in the company yesterday. A total of more than 30,000 employees from all over the country participated."
"The questionnaire shows that almost 100% of the employees have used Meiyu's takeout to buy fruit. 37% of the employees who often buy fruit from Meiyu. "
"But not even 1% of the employees who have used Meiyu to buy fresh ingredients."
"Therefore, I hope that Meiyu can open a backstage account specifically for elven maids. Let the elven maid connect to Meiyu's platform and order fresh ingredients, fruits, and common medicine from there. "
"This is a win-win cooperation."
"Our elven maid will open up orders for fresh produce for Meiyu. Meiyu only needs to open a backstage account for them and let the elven maid order freely."
Mr. Zhang thought for a moment. "I understand your plan."
"What you mean is that in the future, if the user of the elven maid wants it to buy ingredients and cook, they only need to tell it what they want to eat."
"Then the elven maid will automatically connect to our Meituan platform and order the corresponding ingredients according to the dishes the user wants to eat."
"The user doesn't have to participate in this process. The elven maid will automatically choose on our Meiyu platform. Finally, our delivery man will hand it to the elven maid."
Ye Qing added, "Of course, the user has the right to choose and decide. It can only complete these independent operations after the user authorizes the elven maid."
Mr. Zhang nodded and then whispered to the two executives beside him for a few minutes.
The two senior executives he brought with him were his right-hand men.
One was the general manager of the takeout department, and the other was the company's chief operating officer.
The three of them communicated in a low voice for a moment. They all thought that it was a win-win cooperation.
It could be done!
Just as Mr. Ye had said, fresh ingredients were indeed a big weakness of Meiyu's platform.
It wasn't that Meiyu's platform wasn't working hard enough. In order to develop this market with unlimited potential, they had already invested close to a billion yuan in support funds in just a year. They planned to invest even more next year.
However, they still couldn't change the current situation of society.
That was, the main force of grocery shopping was between the ages of 60 and 80, and they were mainly women.
Among the main force of grocery shopping, only the ages of 85 to 89 were more active than on Meituan's takeout platform.
The main consumer of Meituan's platform was between the ages of 85 and 90, and there was too little overlap with the main force of grocery shopping.
Mr. Zhang didn't expect to be able to pull the uncles and aunties into the big family of Meiyu's takeout now. He was still young. He just needed to endure for another five, six, seven, eight, eight years, and let these people in the 90s get married.
When that time came, the price of fresh ingredients would naturally rise.
Of course …
Enduring was one thing, but working hard still had to be done.
Last year, Hua Xia's total consumption of vegetables and meat was three trillion yuan.
Assuming that in a year or two, even if only 5% of users chose to order fresh ingredients through takeout, it would still be a market size of 150 billion yuan.
If the 150 billion yuan in sales were divided according to the average purchase price of 100 yuan per order, 1.5 billion yuan would be generated.
10% of users would generate 3 billion orders.
A turnover of 300 billion yuan.
What a heavenly cake this was!
Of course, Meiyu wanted to eat it.
It wasn't just Meiyu who wanted to eat it.
They also wanted to eat it, Jingdong wanted to eat it, they wanted to eat it every day, and they wanted to eat it even more.
Almost every online sales platform wanted to eat it.
Now, Monster Industries had taken the initiative to provide them with a channel to develop the market.
Of course, Mr. Zhang wanted to open this channel and speed up the expansion of Meiyu's platform's fresh ingredients.
However, Mr. Zhang and the two executives were still a little uncertain about the market situation of the elven maids.
They were a takeout platform company. Usually, they dealt with the Internet industry, the food and beverage industry, the cinema line, and the supermarket service industry.
Now that they had suddenly encountered the artificial intelligence product of Monster Industries, they wanted to wait for a month or two to observe the market reaction and obtain more cooperation information.
This didn't mean that they doubted the sales of the elven maids. They didn't need to worry about this matter.
They just doubted how many users were willing to let the elven maids order vegetables from Meituan's platform.
The people were still the same people.
It was definitely unrealistic to say that if there were more elven maids at home, they would change their habit of buying vegetables that had been cultivated for many years.
When the elven maids became popular, their orders of fresh ingredients would not increase at all. It was completely possible that this would happen.
Therefore, they wanted to observe more and wait for the subsequent market feedback.
If there were very few users who chose to let the elven maids buy vegetables from takeout, they didn't mind opening a backstage for Monster Industries for free on account of Mr. Ye.
If the sales were popular …
That would be a draw.
