Chapter 201: 124, netting several hundred million? Chen Shanhe’s dark history!_3

All of it was information about the precious swords, and, in the end, Hai Dong said that he knew a very stable big boss who liked to collect various swords and knives, and if Lin Mo had any goods, he could act as a middleman to facilitate the deal.

Lin Mo thought about it and did not rush to agree with Hai Dong.

Because selling antiques was not urgent.

What Lin Mo was more eager to know was the origin of the items taken out from the coffin and how much they were worth.

After all, besides the five precious swords, he had also found many unidentified items in the casket.

The things displayed outside were so expensive, perhaps those in the coffin were even more valuable?

If he could successfully turn over these valuable items, then perhaps Lin Mo wouldn’t have to worry about money for a short time.

Not only would the expenses of the dark web not be a concern, but the household expenses would also be sufficient!

With this in mind, Lin Mo selected a few photos of items that seemed like they should be quite valuable and sent them all to Hai Dong in one go.

To sell or not to sell was not the question for now; he at least needed to get a rough idea of the prices.

It was still early, and Hai Dong was probably still sleeping, so he didn’t immediately reply to his message.

At this time, the delivery Lin Mo had ordered arrived.

Taking the breakfast back to the kitchen on the second floor, Lin Mo logged into the dark web software and started checking Chen Shanhe’s information.

There were only two messages, both very brief.

“I agree to continue clearing Chen Kainan’s name, but you must give me an exact deadline.”

This message was sent eight hours after Lin Mo ended their video call.

Clearly, Chen Shanhe had done quite a bit of investigation during those eight hours, but ultimately agreed to accept Lin Mo’s terms, perhaps out of desperation.

The second message came after twenty-four hours and was even more concise.

“State your demands.”

Heh.

Just from the content, you could tell that the old man was probably a bit anxious.

No matter how steady you are, when facing unknown forces, it’s impossible to remain completely unflappable.

Lin Mo was also considering what he should have Chen Shanhe do next.

It wasn’t that he had no useful information left, but rather, there were just too many important pieces of information about Chen Shanhe in Lin Mo’s hands, that he didn’t know what to do with them for the time being.

Take Yellow Knight Delivery, for example.

In the past few years, although Yellow Knight had already been shameless enough, they still had some bottom lines.

They hadn’t squeezed their riders and merchants too hard.

But once Chen Shanhe became a major shareholder of Yellow Knight Delivery, the first resolution he proposed was the ruthless cancellation of previous employment contracts with the delivery riders, switching them to partnership agreements.

Employment and partnership, though seemingly similar, have completely different legal effects.

For example,

If it is an employment relationship, then, if a delivery rider has an accident on the road, the company is responsible and obligated to advance medical expenses, compensate the employee for losses, and continue paying a guaranteed wage among other duties.

Benefits such as social insurance are also mandatory, and there are national regulations regarding working hours.

But if it’s a partnership, then everything changes.

As partners, delivery riders not only can’t enjoy any benefits, but they also can’t even dream of any protection under labor law.

They have to pay for their insurance, costing 3 yuan daily, before they even start their rounds, and have to deal with any issues on their own.

In other words, whether a delivery rider dies suddenly from exhaustion, gets killed in a traffic accident, or makes any mistake during work, it all has nothing to do with Yellow Knight.

The delivery rider bears all the responsibility!

It’s hard to imagine that such overbearing contracts could exist in the 21st century.

But they did happen, and this situation had continued for more than two years.

Many delivery riders protested but to no avail.

Or rather, it was beyond control.

Later, even if the riders in some areas chose to strike in protest, Yellow Knight would rather pay higher wages to reroute delivery riders from other places than negotiate any terms with those protesting riders.

A firm attitude that if you don’t do the job, there are plenty of others who will.

Beyond the overt changes, the delivery system designed under Chen Shanhe was designed to fully exploit both riders and merchants, also imposing a number of unreasonable overbearing terms.

Merchants refuse to sign?

How bold of you!

Then you can’t use the delivery software and have to bear high platform commissions.

A 15-yuan delivery might only leave about 4 yuan in cost for the merchant.

Some merchants considered switching from Yellow Knight to Blue Knight, but, my friend, sorry, if you understood the backstage situation, you would know that another big player shares ownership in that delivery platform, and the rules are exactly the same.

This is a game among tycoons.

It’s not a monopoly, but it’s better than a monopoly.

Merchants and delivery riders don’t have the right to bargain at all.

Finally,

Having dealt with the delivery riders and merchants, they turned their attention to the consumers.

Through analysis and comparison of big data, the delivery platforms had long mastered the skilled tactic of ‘fleecing the familiar’, for instance, the more frequently and longer you use the app, not only do you get fewer discounts, but the prices also get higher.

A 30-yuan lunch might show a difference of a whopping 8 to 15 yuan between two different phones.

That’s how exaggerated it is.

There’s no limit to the exaggeration!
