In the next two days, Zeng Laosan and Zhang Hongfu each used their own fierce moves, hurting each other, and broke the news.

However, the two of them also had a certain understanding in their hearts. Although they broke the news, these materials were not enough to send the other party to prison.

At this moment, Liu Haotian was sitting firmly on Diaoyutai and seemed to have no idea of ​​the performance between the two.

That night, Li Guohao and Zeng Laosan sat in the teahouse together, drinking tea. Li Guohao reminded: "Boss Zeng, have you noticed that Liu Haotian seems to be a little abnormal in recent times?"

Zeng Laosan frowned slightly: "I haven't noticed this, please let Mayor Li make a clear statement."

Li Guohao said in a deep voice: "Now I can basically confirm that Liu Haotian is the initiator of this grudge between you and Zhang Hongfu. Logically speaking, after Liu Haotian achieved the purpose of sow discord, he should take action against one of you two, but Liu Haotian did not take action. I strongly suspect that Liu Haotian is brewing any conspiracy, you must be careful.

People like Liu Haotian are very scheming and cruel in their methods. They must be careful and never be careful. They must not be aware of Liu Haotian's methods. This person is very good at taking action."

Zeng Laosan nodded slightly.

At this moment, Li Guohao's cell phone suddenly rang. Li Guohao took out his cell phone and took a look, and answered the phone: "Secretary-General, is there anything wrong?"

Hou Mingshan's voice came out from the phone: "Mayor Li, please inform you about something. Please rush back to the municipal government compound in half an hour. Mayor Liu has an important matter to discuss with the mayors."

After hearing this, Li Guohao couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had heard that at the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, the general intention of his future arrangements had been reached, and it was inevitable to transfer it from Dongping City. It was just that the provincial leaders still had some different opinions on where to transfer him, so they had not issued a transfer order to himself yet.

At this moment, Li Guohao was no longer interested in the affairs of Dongping City. He was basically no longer in charge of work, but handed over the work to other deputy mayors. He had made full preparations for the handover of work.

But unexpectedly, Liu Haotian would suddenly hold a mayor's office meeting at this time, and the time was still so fast. What exactly did he want to discuss?

Li Guohao looked at his watch and it was 6:13 now. The place where he lives is seven or eight minutes away from the city office building. However, considering the time to get up and down, and considering Liu Haotian's personality, there is not much time left to leave now.

Originally, he and Zeng Laosan agreed to have some tea in advance and go to have a meal later.

But unexpectedly, Liu Haotian asked them to go back to the city government to have a meeting at this time. It seemed that the supper tonight would be later.

Li Guohao could only talk to Zeng Laosan simply, then turned around and went downstairs to the city government office building.

After Li Guohao arrived at the conference room, he found that many deputy mayors had arrived, and everyone was whispering, because some of them came from the dinner party and had not eaten a few bites. More people might have just arrived home.

However, Hou Mingshan's phone call suddenly came over, which caught many people off guard.

Everyone waited for half an hour. Just as everyone's patience was basically exhausted, Liu Haotian appeared in the conference room calmly.

After entering the door, Liu Haotian said in a deep voice: "Comrades, I am late today. I would like to express my deep apology to you.

Of course, I was late this time on purpose.

It is already past 7 o'clock in the evening now. Under normal circumstances, many comrades have finished their meal now.

But because I suddenly recruited everyone back, many comrades must have not eaten. They must be hungry now, right?"

Some nodded, some frowned.

Li Guohao said with great dissatisfaction: "Mayor Liu, why did you call us all over? Why did you deliberately be late?"

After Liu Haotian sat down, he slowly replied: "The reason why I deliberately stayed half an hour late is to make everyone feel more hungry.

Because today we are going to discuss food safety issues.

This issue is more interesting when everyone is hungry.

Especially after waiting impatiently for more than half an hour, the feeling of hunger and irritability is more suitable for discussing this topic."

After Liu Haotian finished speaking, Li Guohao's face was full of dissatisfaction: "Mayor Liu, I can't understand, what kind of topic can allow you to specially create such a very different atmosphere?"

Liu Haotian said: "Today's topic is both simple and complex, and it is about food safety.

Because in this year's proposal of the Municipal CPPCC, there is a proposal about vigorously developing our pre-made vegetable industry in Dongping.

Originally, this proposal was not obtained from me, but it was already passed away from the Market Supervision Bureau.

But today when I was communicating with Comrade Guan Tianchao of the Municipal CPPCC, he recommended this proposal to me again. I carefully studied it. Regardless of whether the proposal made in this proposal is reasonable, I feel that this proposal is of great value for discussion.

I wonder what you think about the pre-made vegetable market and food safety issues?”

Li Guohao smiled disdainfully: "Although I have not seen this proposal, I think that although the market size of the pre-made vegetable market is hundreds of billions, it is not suitable for our Dongping City.

Because our local cuisine does not have the promotion of pre-made dishes, our Dongping City is not suitable for developing the pre-made dish industry.”

Liu Haotian looked at Deputy Mayor Wang Xueqiang: "Comrade Wang Xueqiang, please tell me?"

Wang Xueqiang said with a smile: "I think that compared to the market development prospects of pre-made dishes, I am more concerned about food safety issues.

Food safety affects thousands of households and the vital interests of every common person.

The foods we all eat at our city leaders are specially supplied, all green vegetable foods. There is basically no problem with our food safety. However, we must pay attention to one thing that the foods eaten by the people are not specially supplied, and are all brought to the hands of the people through market circulation. How to ensure food safety should be a problem that our Dongping Municipal Government attaches great importance to.

But I can’t understand why Mayor Liu used the proposal of this pre-made vegetable market as an introduction to food safety issues?”

Liu Haotian smiled slightly: "Comrade Wang Xueqiang has come to the point. Now I will explain to you why I linked this proposal on the development of pre-made vegetable market with the food safety issues in Dongping City.

I would like to ask you guys here, do you know why the pre-made vegetable market is suddenly popular now?"

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, and Liu Haotian smiled but said nothing.

Wang Xueqiang raised his head and said, "It should be because of the epidemic?"

Liu Haotian nodded gently: "What everyone said makes sense. Wang Xueqiang's point of view is closer to the truth of the matter, but it is not complete.

There are two reasons why the pre-made vegetable market has truly developed. One is that due to the epidemic, a large number of people stay at home, but many people cannot cook, and the emergence of pre-made vegetables has alleviated this problem.

But in fact, there are not many families who actually use pre-made dishes to cook.

The place with the largest market share of pre-made vegetables is various catering companies, especially those small and medium-sized catering companies.

Especially those small and medium-sized catering companies dominated by takeaway!”

Li Guohao said with some dissatisfaction: "Mayor Liu, didn't you say that the vegetable market has always been related to food safety?

Did you mean that pre-made dishes are not safe?”

Liu Haotian smiled and said, "Comrade Li Guohao, be careful, listen to me tell you the story."

In fact, the pre-made vegetable market was not originally large in scale. In the past, every restaurant made food step by step according to traditional food production methods.

However, with the rise of takeaway platforms, at the beginning, various catering companies were still making meals normally.

At this stage, the takeaway platform expanded the market space of catering companies, causing the sales of many catering companies to soar a lot, allowing many catering companies to see the advantages of the takeaway platform. At the beginning, the takeaway platform attracted these companies to enter the takeaway platform through free promotion and extremely low commissions.

This stage belongs to the healthy operation stage of catering enterprises.

However, as takeaway platforms continue to expand through free and extremely low commission models, they have more and more customer resources for catering companies, and through the operation of capital, consumers have cultivated the habit of ordering takeaway.

At this time, the takeaway platform began to comprehensively increase the commission ratio of catering companies, from 5% at the beginning to 10% later, to 18%, 23%, and even 25%.

The commission withdrawal ratio of takeaway platforms is constantly increasing, and consumers have also formed the habit of ordering takeaway. Coupled with the impact of the epidemic, ordering takeaway has become a consumption habit of many people.

But please note that under normal circumstances, the normal profit of a catering company is 30% to 40%. However, since major takeaway platforms have mastered the traffic resource and cultivated consumers' consumption habits, they have obtained strong voices against catering companies through capital monopoly. Therefore, at this stage, many catering companies have commission ratios of around 20% to 25%, and commission ratios of 23% are everywhere.

However, everyone, I have said just now that it is already amazing that many catering companies can have profits of 30% and 40%, but they have to spend a sales commission ratio of 23%, which means that the profit margin left to the company is only about 17%.

Comrades, think about it, these catering companies have to hire employees, rent stores, pay taxes, and sometimes even have to deal with inspections from health and other departments. With these expenses, how much profit can the catering companies have?

And don’t forget that these takeaway platforms often bring these catering companies to engage in activities. At this time, catering companies have to spend 3 to 5% of their profit margin to do activities.

In this way, when it comes to an event, these platforms take away about 26% of the profits of catering companies, while the catering companies themselves only have about 14% of the profits, which means that the takeaway platform does nothing, just because of its monopoly position, the profits they get are twice as much as those of the profits of catering companies.

Why is the real economy so difficult now?

Why are catering companies now going bankrupt one after another?

The reason is very simple, because of the impact of the takeaway platform, because the commission ratio collected by the takeaway platform is too high! The people have no way to survive!"

When Liu Haotian said this, he sighed deeply, and a sense of inexplicable sadness arose in his heart.

Li Guohao frowned and said, "Mayor Liu, as you say, all these takeaway platforms should be closed? And you still haven't explained clearly what is the relationship between pre-made dishes and food safety?"

Everyone looked at Liu Haotian one after another.
