“Are you late today?”

Chanyoung’s mother nodded her head at the words of her neighborhood friend Kyungsoo’s mother.

“I was ordering something because I needed something.”

“Internet?”

“yes.”

Internet shopping is now a favorite among aunts.

And once they became addicted to this internet shopping, the ladies could not get out of the convenience.

Chan-young’s mother was one of those people, and she solved all of the frozen foods and other miscellaneous items that weren’t fresh through the Internet.

“Did you order formi?”

At that, Chan-young’s mother said with a puzzled expression.

“Formy? What is it. I only use Bugs?”

“You don’t know Formi? It’s a popular site these days, isn’t it?”

“okay?”

“The price was cheap and the delivery was fast. They gave me a coupon, so I tried it once and it was really good.”

Kyungsoo’s mother continues to praise Formi like that.

“Ceron is definitely different. Shipping items as skeletons.”

“Seron? Is Formiga Seron?”

“yes.”

“okay? It’s difficult…”

Chanyoung’s mother, who became one of the admirers of Seron, has improved her life a little bit thanks to the energy sales booth.

But shopping online is different.

“a. Still, I’m not going to move.”

“why?”

“What is it, you have to sign up and authenticate, and it’s complicated. how do i do it Bugs also asked his son to sign up for an ID and only entered the password and barely used it.”

I’ve gotten used to the Internet quite a bit now, but from the standpoint of a blind housewife, signing up for a new site can only be daunting.

“I can’t ask you again. I did that too.”

“done. As I got used to Bugs, I kept asking questions I didn’t know, and I heard how many times my son annoyed me. Why are you asking the same thing again, I can’t see the consent check below, blah blah blah blah blah. Ugh. You want me to go through that chaos again?”

Then Kyungsoo’s mother, who praised Formi, said:

“okay? Formi also throws out garbage instead, so you’re just going to use Bugs?”

“…what does that mean now? Do you take out the trash?”

“If you sign up as a Formi member, the skeleton will bring you things and then collect all the garbage in front of the house. Are you completely free from garbage thanks to you? You don’t have to pile up trash in the house and you don’t have to come and go every time, how nice it is.”

Chan-young’s mother, who was interested in those words, said.

“Tell me in more detail.”

Chanyoung’s mother, who heard about Formi’s skeleton delivery and garbage collection service, said in shock.

“Then why don’t we just order when we need to throw out the trash?”

“That’s what I mean. Skeleton delivery arrives in half a day after ordering, so you bring things and take out the trash while you do other things?”

“Oh my, my.”

It’s something you have to buy anyway, but the price is cheap, and they even throw out garbage in the middle.

Chan-young’s mother clapped and said.

“Because it’s also Seron. Oh my gosh, they even care about trash.”

“Is not it? So Chan-young’s mother also quickly changed to Formi.”

“I tried not to move because my son was noticing, but I can’t stand this.”

Chan-young’s mother, who lifted her cell phone like that, called Chan-young.

– Yes, Mom.

“Chanyoung-ah, where are you?”

– I’m on my way home after school.

Chanyoung’s mother said in a friendly voice.

“I have something to ask you. Can you do it?”

-What?

“I think I need to sign up for some internet sites.”

-In addition?!

Chanyoung said in a tired voice.

– Even if you tell Mom, you’ll soon forget it and keep asking!

At that, Chan-young’s mother said with a firm expression.

“This bastard feeds and puts him to sleep, so why are you campaigning like this?”

– It’s not like that, it’s because it’s frustrating. ha. So what?

“Your mom is wearing Bugs. But I heard that Formi is that good. So I’m going to change to Formi.”

Then Chanyeol let out a long sigh and said.

-Mom, can’t you just use the one you used? It took a long time to get used to Bugs.

“Do something. huh? Instead, Mom will cook you something delicious.”

-Like last time, I’m going to call you all month long and stir-fry.

Chan-young’s mother is finally angry at Chan-yeong’s words that keep grunting.

“Hey child! If your mother asks you to do something, you can just do it. What are you talking about so much?! How many times have I been asked to take out some trash on the way to school, and I’ve given it away nicely! uh?!”

– No, why is there garbage here?

“Why are you here! That’s because Formi throws out trash!”

Chan-young, who was silent at those words, said.

-What are you talking about?

“So······.”

Chanyoung’s mother told me about Formi, and Chanyoung said.

-Really? Would you throw it away instead?

“okay. Let’s live a little more comfortably. yes?”

-Then if you do that, will I no longer have to throw out trash on the way to school?

“Of course! Do you know that you and Daddy hear garbage and send it out because you like me?”

Then Chanyoung said in an urgent voice.

– If that’s the case, I can’t stand it. Mom, wait. I’ll go right now! Sign up right away and I’ll let you know!

The concrete layer is smashed.

also at a fast pace.

I said with a bright smile.

“right. If you move it once, you will throw it out instead of garbage for the rest of your life, who would refuse.”

Naturally, it was the garbage collection service introduced this time that made all of this possible.

If you put food and general waste in a bag, and just put plastic, cans, and recyclable waste like plastic in one place, the skeleton takes care of the rest, so people turn to this service and sign up for Formi.

Even in areas that are not serviced because there is no distribution center, they are clamoring for the introduction of services as soon as possible.

Of course, the process was not all smooth.

If you leave your garbage in a designated place in front of the door, it will be collected, so if the skeleton with only two hands can’t collect it because it literally piles up small garbage, from those who tell the truth, why don’t you collect it? The bastards, etc., really saw the end of humanity.

That’s why we’ve introduced a collection box with a handle.

If a box designed to prevent odors from leaking out is placed in front of the house, the trash can only be loaded up to the allowable capacity of the box, and when the full trash box is collected, the empty box brought by the skeleton is put back in its place.

The collected boxes were brought to a nearby junk shop in partnership with Ceron, and the skeletons threw away general waste and food separately, and sorted and recycled them on the spot.

In addition, general garbage and food waste must be disposed of in a bag. If this is violated, collection will be refused, and only then will the waste separation service be stabilized.

“By the way, does recycling make money?”

However, in the process, they dispose of recyclable waste, which is not large, but generates quite a lot of profit.

“It’s a recycling business. If I do this well, I don’t know if I can make money unexpectedly, right?”

I’ll think about it later when I have time.

“Are sales going smoothly?”

At my words, President Formi nodded violently and said.

“Fantastic.”

“Fantastic?”

“Isn’t garbage being discharged from time to time? We also set the allowable capacity, so people are ordering things on a regular basis.”

“Five! That’s right.”

Instead of ordering all at once, you have to order items from time to time to dispose of the accumulated garbage.

“Thanks to this, the per-unit price is on the rise. Oh, the per-client price refers to the cost you pay for Formi per customer.”

So you’re saying that customers are spending more on Formi?

to get service.

“Great.”

“Anyway, once people get used to the garbage collection service, even if Formi raises the price, it will not be easy to leave. It’s such an incredible service. If we build a warehouse like this to increase our service area and continue to expand our customers…”

President Formi said with an ecstatic expression.

“It would be quite possible to take the top spot from the Bucks. Maybe they really push them all out and Formi dominates the whole of Korea.”

“I’m going to say it again just in case, right now, I’m using the name Formi, but I’ll change the name later when awareness rises a bit?”

“I know. It’s just overwhelming to think that the company I’ve created might be number one.”

OK.

I nodded and said.

“good. Let’s keep going, until we’ve all eaten up.”

*

Formi has grown at an insane speed by absorbing the surrounding customers whenever it opens a distribution center one by one.

Naturally, the customers that Formi attracted were all customers of other companies, so the damage to the existing Internet commerce companies was enormous.

In particular, small and medium-sized companies, like Formi, who were barely living their lives, raised their white flags one by one as their deficits gradually increased like a snowball due to the accelerated departure of the concrete layer.

Some of the small and medium-sized companies holding the white flag came to Ceron and offered to take over, and Formi, which I accepted their takeover offer, absorbed their warehouse and gradually expanded in size.

Of course, the blows of the three major companies were not easy.

As the No. 1 company, Bugs attracted huge investments and kept its market share thanks to a low-priced offensive comparable to Formie.

Then, the structure of Internet commerce companies was completely reorganized.

“Does the 2nd and 3rd place unite?”

“Yes. They say they are exchanging shares with each other.”

Even exchanging stocks means moving like a real company.

“In that way, we can minimize the logistics cost by sharing a lot of things from the warehouse, so we can put out an urgent fire right away.”

Obviously, economies of scale are the key to this internet commerce business, so it would be the most efficient way for 2nd and 3rd places to be beaten by Formy and Bugs.

2nd and 3rd place united with Bugs, who are struggling to keep the 1st place, due to a decline in market share.

And Formi, which started chasing after absorbing small and medium-sized companies with enormous financial power.

“What is the share of each?”

“The 2nd and 3rd places are united and take first place with 38 percent. Next is Bucks 30%. And our Formiga…”

CEO Formi said with a smile.

“We are in third place with 20 percent.”

20% of the market share achieved in just a few months after acquiring Formi.

Although I poured a lot of money into it, the investment is worth it.

It means that 1 in 5 people who order things online are using Formi.

I said with a bright smile.

“Then it’s actually a battle of the past.”

Clearly, the coalition is the first in the market share right now.

But that’s just the struggle of those who are falling apart.

No matter how much we share everything to reduce logistics costs, it cannot be compared to Bugs, which introduced a robot system, and Formie using skeletons.

In other words, that occupancy is just a water muscle to show off.

And those water muscles will soon be ripped to pieces by Bugs and Formy.

“Let’s just keep going as we are now.”

I did everything I could with the skeleton.

Now all that’s left is the chicken game of who gets to go first.

And I’m sure the final winner is Formy.

When it comes to financial power, there is no shortage of money compared to other companies.

“All right.”

Just as he was about to finish the report, Formi’s cell phone rings.

When the CEO of Formi noticed, I raised my hand and said.

“Looks like an important call. Take it.”

“Yes, then.”

With my permission, CEO Formi raised his cell phone.

However, the complexion of CEO Formi is gradually hardening.

“···Really? Okay.”

After the call, the CEO of Formi looked at me and said,

“Chairman, this is bad news.”

“Is that bad news?”

“The national courier union has issued an official statement claiming that Formi is taking away the courier job.”

*

The reason I started this business in the first place was because of a news article that I was suffering from overwork due to a shortage of couriers.

However, after just a few months, the courier union made a statement saying that this time there was a shortage of jobs.

“After the introduction of skeleton delivery, the coverage per delivery driver increased, resulting in a shortage of jobs?”

“Yes. That’s how it was announced. If Formi continues to grow, there will be fewer jobs.”

At that, I said with a smirk.

“Are these guys funny?”

Obviously, on the surface, this is a plausible argument.

Because one delivery driver can handle a wider range, that’s the advantage of skeleton delivery.

But when you know what’s going on inside, it’s really absurd.

“What is our skeleton delivery rate?”

“About 35 percent.”

Formi is clearly growing rapidly with skeleton delivery, but that doesn’t mean that all items are delivered by skeletons.

The only items that can be shipped with skeletons are products that are pre-stacked in Formi’s warehouse and ready to ship at any time, accounting for only 35 percent of the total transaction volume.

The remaining 65% is for companies or individuals to register as sellers in Formi and sell them individually, and since the seller has the goods, when an order comes in, it is delivered using a general courier company.

Of course, in the future, this will also be integrated and sellers will not send goods directly to customers, but rather introduce a hybrid method that sends goods to Formi’s intermediate lodging site through a courier company, and Formi will transport them to a skeleton, but yes. In the end, the proportion of skeleton shipments would be only 50 to 60 percent.

Even the hybrid method, which is still only a plan, is like this, not to mention right now.

“Our market share is now 20 percent, so if it’s a third, you’re saying that roughly 8 percent of all transactions in Korea are skeleton delivery, right?”

“you’re right.”

“Last time, you insisted on increasing the number of deliveries by at least 25 percent, but you are making this uproar with only an 8 percent reduction? Even considering the skeleton delivery driver and the base staff, it would be less, right?”

First of all, I am someone.

He is a person who carefully treads on fallen leaves that were passed only in Korea for a peaceful retirement.

Of course, you mean that you decided to enter the market because you thought that this would be enough, considering the introduction of skeleton delivery and the job loss caused by it?

According to the company’s internal calculations, the current shortage of couriers is about 20 percent.

Even so, most couriers were working overtime, so taking that into consideration, there was no threat to the jobs of couriers even if skeleton delivery accounted for 30% instead of 8%.

By the way, to even announce an official statement with just this much.

“Other companies must still be suffering from a shortage of delivery drivers, isn’t it too much to call for a belly button?”

President Formi looked at me and said.

“Chairman, just ignore it. After all, they will chat with each other for a bit and then calm down. As the president said, this is a nonsensical claim.”

I shook my head and said.

“It can’t be. We know that’s nonsense, but we’re not ordinary people.”

Clearly, it sounds absurd from my point of view, who knows the story, but it sounds plausible from the point of view of ordinary consumers.

In other words, it definitely pierced the weakness that I care about the most.

“Did you even get an order from a competitor?”

It may have come out as a way to appeal to the general public because it can’t win the competition with the skeleton.

President Formi also said with a firm expression.

“…it might be.”

Guess I was just too lazy

So, are you going to appeal to public opinion with these nonsense claims?

Since I’m the age that cares about people’s reputation, I thought I might be able to turn the situation around.

“I have to make sure.”

You can tell just by looking at the statistics that you are disturbing me with such a statement as a statement.

If it ever happened like this, I’ll be sure to steer you.

based on facts.

“Investigate all the statistical data and bring it with you.”

I said raising the corners of my lips.

“Let’s smash them all at once.”
