Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 702: Dine-In Exclusion Label

Chen Yiyang rubbed his face helplessly after listening to Zhang Changyun.

Sometimes, issues that seem so simple even a child could solve them can become incredibly difficult for adults to handle.

Just like what Zhang Changyun mentioned.

The simplest solution is for Yiyang Flash Sale to trust the data provided by the Yiyang Map's food navigation staff.

But the deeper issue here is a struggle for power.

For the management of Yiyang Flash Sale, when the same issue presents two completely different answers from their own staff and external staff,

they will definitely choose to trust their own staff.

Because if they don't, it not only breeds discontent among their employees but also effectively cedes some power to outsiders.

No one wants to relinquish their power.

Especially if there is any corruption involved.

Who can say whether it's someone from Yiyang Flash Sale benefiting from the merchants or the food navigation staff benefiting?

If they decide to rely on the food navigation staff's results in the future, then those staff could accept benefits from some merchants, labeling their non-dine-in takeaway shops as dine-in, and then demand Yiyang Flash Sale list those takeaways.

Should Yiyang Flash Sale list them or not?

If they do, it means the food navigation people would have directly infiltrated Yiyang Flash Sale, gaining significant control.

That would lead to greater chaos.

Because the promotions and bonuses of the food navigation management are not linked to Yiyang Flash Sale.

Meaning, they have more incentive than the internal management of Yiyang Flash Sale to accept outside benefits for personal gain.

Thinking about this, Chen Yiyang asked Zhang Changyun to sit in the office while he called over relevant personnel from Yiyang Flash Sale.

"About this issue of differing investigation results, discuss among yourselves how to handle it first."

After Chen Yiyang said this, he returned to his desk to deal with other matters.

As expected, the two sides ended up in disagreement, and if it weren't for the fact they were in Chen Yiyang's office, they probably would have started arguing.

Seeing their demeanor, Chen Yiyang realized that letting them discuss it alone wouldn't yield a result.

So after finishing his tasks, he called them over.

"How about this?" Chen Yiyang thought for a moment and said, "Both sides should investigate the matter of whether the entity is a dine-in takeaway store, and then cross-verify.

If both sides reach the same conclusion, there's nothing more to say. If their conclusions differ, then have both sides record video and audio throughout the process to investigate if it's a dine-in takeaway store, how about it?"

"Mr. Chen," Zhang Changyun didn't object to Chen Yiyang's method, but the Yiyang Flash Sale personnel raised concerns, saying, "Many non-dine-in takeaway merchants disguise their shops as dine-in ones.

If both sides cooperate in the investigation, for such shops, we must monitor them over the long term or order takeout ourselves to see if the delivery person really comes from that shop.

Such an investigation might require sending two or three people on business trips for several days, which would be expensive. Moreover, even if we find that the merchant isn't a dine-in takeaway, and we delist them from Yiyang Flash Sale,

they could still insist they are a dine-in store and continue to operate on other platforms, possibly claiming we delisted their shop because the person in charge demanded benefits. Over time, this would harm Yiyang Flash Sale's reputation."

"I understand your point now." After listening for a while, Chen Yiyang finally grasped his concerns.

That is, strictly verifying whether all merchants listed on Yiyang Flash Sale are dine-in takeaways or have physical stores.

This matter offers little benefit to Yiyang Flash Sale itself.

Because if only Yiyang Flash Sale strictly enforces this rule, it could be detrimental to Yiyang Flash Sale.

After all, customers won't solely trust Yiyang Flash Sale's stance on whether an entity is a dine-in store or not.

In the end, Yiyang Flash Sale might lose a batch of inexpensive takeout merchants and face a disadvantage against other platforms.

The Yiyang Flash Sale personnel never truly wanted to delve deeply into whether merchants were dine-in takeaways from the start.

Because this issue posed more harm than good for Yiyang Flash Sale. And the real beneficiaries, the takeaway users, would hardly realize Yiyang Flash Sale's good intentions.

"Mr. Chen, let me speak frankly," the personnel said, "Unless the state intervenes to supervise and regulate, making it mandatory for platforms to indicate whether they are dine-in takeaways, our undertaking this task ourselves is pointless.

But if there's top-level supervision and regulations, then Yiyang Flash Sale would certainly delist those possibly non-dine-in takeaways immediately.

If other platforms aren't labeling or delisting them, we can use the evidence gathered through our investigation to file complaints against these platforms.

Only this way would a strict investigation of platform merchants as to whether they are dine-in takeaways be meaningful."

"I understand." Although Chen Yiyang didn't fully agree with this person's ethics, he admitted they made a valid point.

Strictly vetting the platform's merchants, from a moral standpoint, is essential.

But from the platform's interest perspective, it isn't necessary.

However, if there is supervisory intervention from above, then it would be different, resolving the dilemma.

"How about this, you head back first." Chen Yiyang dismissed the other person, and looking at the time, it was nearly the end of the workday. So he called Yang Chengru, inviting him for dinner that evening.

"You're here." After Chen Yiyang rang the doorbell of Yang Chengru's apartment, Yang Chengru came out to open the door for him.

Entering the living room, he saw the table was filled with dishes.

"Cumin pork slices, fried pork with pot, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, stir-fried pork." Chen Yiyang glanced around and found at least four meat dishes and two vegetable dishes on the table.

Moreover, the dishes were steaming hot, like they were freshly made.

"Did you make these yourself?" Chen Yiyang asked, surprised.

"When do I have time to cook?"

Yang Chengru served two bowls of rice, one for each of them.

"I heated them in the microwave."

Huh?

Chen Yiyang immediately realized, glancing up at the kitchen's trash can.

Several times, the trash can was filled with pre-packaged food bags.

"You, a dignified leader, eat pre-packaged food?"

"Why not," Yang Chengru said, "some of these pre-packaged foods I bought have your brand on them. Are you suggesting your pre-packaged food factory isn't clean or hygienic?"
