The awkwardness continued.
Of course, it was the awkwardness of President Zhang's side.
He and the two executives had been trying to break the atmosphere, but they muttered to themselves a few times, but they never had the courage to open their mouths.
It was very simple. They knew that Mr. Ye was not satisfied with this point.
However, there was no way to change this point rule. They also wanted to make money. They could not say that Monster Industries had a lot of face, so Meiyu's platform earned less.
President Zhang and the two executives could only eat while thinking about how to start the conversation.
However, they did not expect that after only a few minutes, Ye Qing had already put down the cutlery in his hand and smiled. "Are you full, President Zhang?"
"Huh?"
President Zhang was at a loss and put down his cutlery. "I … I'm full."
Ye Qing snapped his fingers and motioned for the elven maid to stop cooking. "Since you're full, let's call it a day."
"Mr. Ye, we can provide Monster Industries with a year of free maintenance."
President Zhang knew that this was his last chance, so he quickly said, "Within this year, no matter how many elven maid accounts are registered, we will not charge any maintenance fees."
"After a year, according to the number of users …"
"There's no need."
Ye Qing stood up from his chair with the intention of seeing the guests out. "In our opinion, the elven maid is just a consumer."
"But … but it's not a real consumer after all. The user gives the order to the elven maid, and the elven maid orders from Meiyu. There's an extra step in between compared to a normal user."
Mr. Zhang stood up reluctantly and explained, "The process of the elf maid ordering from Meimei, in the final analysis, is actually to first send the execution order to the Monster Industry background server. The server judges that the operation is valid, then it will agree to this order request, and finally send the order to Meimei."
"Mr. Ye, this is the same way as other third-party cooperation channels."
"Besides, the fees are completely borne by the user. It's reasonable for them to pay a little more when they enjoy more convenient services than before."
The elven maid could only work properly when it was connected to the cloud server system of Monster Industries.
Every order it executed required the server to synchronize and verify the digital certificate. The certificate would only be executed when the certificate was verified.
According to what President Zhang said, it seemed to be no different from a third-party cooperation channel.
But this seems to be the case.
The third party cooperation channel was to use Meiyu's platform to sell their own products. The elven maid had no products to sell, so she could only place orders on Meiyu's platform.
Mr. Zhang wanted to continue explaining, but Ye Qing raised his hand and interrupted him.
"President Zhang ~"
"I don't want users to pay any additional fees for the benefit of other companies when they provide convenient services through the elven maids."
"I don't want to hear people say that they have elven maids, but they were cheated by an internet company."
"Ripping off customers and killing acquaintances is how many internet companies make money."
"But I won't allow such behavior here."
After Ye Qing finished speaking, he turned around and left.
President Zhang of Meirong chased after him and said unwillingly, "Please reconsider. Meirong is definitely the most suitable partner for Monster Industries."
Ye Qing did not even turn his head.
"Mr. Ye, there's really no other delivery platform in the country that's more suitable for Monster Industries. These platforms can't compete with the United States. "
"If Monster Industries cooperates with other delivery platforms, when they decline, Monster Industries' reputation will be affected."
Anger, hope, helplessness …
President Zhang of Meirong gritted his teeth in hatred. If Monster Industries was willing to cooperate with Meirong, it would be considered a breaking news story that would help their stock price rise.
But it was also because they were listed companies that they needed to regularly disclose their company's operating conditions.
They had to fight for enough profits for themselves in every cooperation to give shareholders and shareholders enough confidence.
Since Mr. Ye was not willing to give them profits in the cooperation.
Monster Industries would definitely seek other delivery companies that were willing to give up profits.
President Zhang of Meirong was sure that such a delivery company was willing. For example, Hungry.
Hungry Dog was no longer in a position to negotiate terms and pursue profits.
Their delivery market had already fallen into an irreparable contraction. When the market shrank to a certain extent, it would fall into a vicious cycle and would never be able to get up again.
Hungry only had 26.9% of the market share now.
The company's marketing staff had analyzed that when Hungry's share fell to the 20% threshold, the vicious cycle would come.
At that time, merchants, riders, and customers would be troubled by the revenue problem because of Hungry. When they were unable to maintain the operation and management of the huge delivery market in thousands of cities, they would choose to give up.
When Hungry was unable to compete with Meirong in the national market, no matter how good its delivery reputation was in a few cities, it would only be a desperate struggle.
Meirong could coordinate its "forces" at any time to encircle and suppress these cities.
Thinking of this, President Zhang of Meirong steeled his heart as he looked at Mr. Ye who was about to step into the living room. "Mr. Ye …"
"If you choose to cooperate with Hungry or other platforms, you will be disappointed."
"These companies are all targets of Meirong's platform. They will not change the situation of the national delivery industry just because of the cooperation of one or two high-tech companies."
Hearing this, Ye Qing finally stopped. He turned his head and glanced at President Zhang and the two executives behind him. He said calmly, "Are you threatening me?"
Of course, this was a threat.
It was just a euphemistic threat.
Regardless of whether Monster Industries cooperated with them or not, Meirong would encircle and suppress them.
If Monster Industries really cooperated with one of them, Meirong would inevitably be transferred to go through the encirclement and suppression.
President Zhang did not think that the addition of an elven maid robot would change the habit of users of which platform to order takeout from.
Moreover, the elven maid with a beautiful sci-fi appearance, whether it was its mechanical body that was lighter than a human's or the system that needed to be rented from the National Supercomputing Center for training, it was destined to be impossible for it to be popularized in ordinary people's homes like refrigerators and televisions.
Without quantitative change, there would naturally be no qualitative change.
President Zhang and the two executives quickly denied it, saying that they had no intention of threatening. They were just giving Mr. Ye a pertinent suggestion based on their understanding of the delivery platform.
Ye Qing said, "Then I'll give you a pertinent suggestion."
"I'm helping the elven maid to seek cooperation because I don't want these trivial matters to distract Monster Industries from their main business."
"It's not that Monster Industries needs Meirong's platform. It's that Monster Industries doesn't want to trouble themselves to create a platform."
"If we really go and trouble ourselves."
"Then you may not be as simple as losing money."
"Now that I've rejected the cooperation with Meirong and have no interest in discussing cooperation with other platforms, I'm going to let my employees work hard."
After saying that, Ye Qing's figure disappeared from the living room, leaving President Zhang and the two executives looking at each other.
In addition to them, there were five elven maids cleaning the dining table in the living room.
President Zhang suddenly felt a little regretful as he watched the elven maid skillfully clean the table.
However, this feeling quickly disappeared as he gradually analyzed the pros and cons.
Meirong's position could not be shaken even by competitors in the same industry, let alone by Monster Industries, which focused on high-tech manufacturing.
This trip to Zhongyun could at most be regarded as a learning experience.
