Chapter 514: Layout for the Next Ten Years(2/3)
Compared to Wang Xin, a veteran entrepreneur, he naturally appears to be much greener.
To be precise, before [Takeout War], Wang Xin had contacted Zhang Xuhao and wanted to acquire [Are You Hungry]?
Laughing to death, acquisition?
I’m so fucking hot-blooded!
If both parties slap the table and cannot reach an agreement, then fight!
It’s a pity that the team of [Are You Hungry] is only a student army after all? There are many problems in the management team and there are also mistakes in strategic layout.
On the other hand, [Rice Regiment] just emerged from the dead body of [Thousand Regiment War], so there are a lot of business tricks!
Now it's good, [Rice Tuan Takeaway] has a tendency to catch up from behind and has been encroaching on the takeout market in 2014. This gives Zhang Xuhao a headache, not only how to break the situation.
Obviously [Mi Tuan] used to do group buying, but we are the ones who only do takeout!
This situation is really depressing and extinguishes all the enthusiasm.
Fortunately, in January this year, Penguin extended an olive branch to Zhang Xuhao.
"Brother Ma" holds JD.com in his left hand and Dianping in his right hand. Together with Red Mountain Capital, which offended both parties, they invested US$350 million in "Are You Hungry"?
Of course, the most important thing is definitely not money.
The help that Penguin can provide cannot only be reflected in money!
Under Penguin's blood, Zhang Xuhao's passion was ignited again!
"Hot blood!!!"
Fuck Wang Xin to death!
One good thing about the student army is that although they are young and green, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, nor are they afraid of heaven or earth.
This is not only reflected in the management, but also in the promotion.
Competing for the market and competing for takeout merchants is now the main task every day.
And there is one merchant who is really a little too dazzling this year.
——Cheng Zhu!
Among all the Internet celebrities in catering, he is now the most famous, has the highest achievements, and has the most showy methods!
[Are you hungry?] has not been searched as many times on Weibo as [Pomelo Tea]!
In Zhang Xuhao's heart, he had an unabashed admiration for Cheng Zhu.
The reason is simple - he is a college student.
When young people start a business with dreams in mind, they will actually encounter many hardships and ups and downs along the way.
Some troubles and incidents will be very inexplicable, just because you are young!
Some people don't take you seriously when they see you with a childish face.
Some people see that you are young and cannot listen to what you have to say.
When some people see you as young, they will try to stumble you and get some benefits from you.
After all, this world is not a world controlled by young people.
Zhang Xuhao knows how difficult it is for college students to start a business, and how many difficulties there will be along the way.
"Youcha has been able to achieve this in a short period of time, which is much more impressive than I was before." He opened his eyes, no longer closed his eyes to meditate, pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and looked out the window.
Nowadays, every food delivery platform is trying its best to fight for pomelo tea, a popular market, and want it to be its own entry point.
Zhang Xuhao came here in person today to express his greatest sincerity.
"We are both young people, we should be able to chat, and there will be no shortage of common topics." He thought to himself.
"If it doesn't work out, let's just talk about playing games!" This former gamer thought to himself.
As long as we can close the distance, the next step will be easy to talk about.
After meeting Cheng Zhu, Zhang Xuhao's first thought was: "Really handsome."
Zhang Xuhao is a little chubby, and he gives people a naive feeling when he smiles. In terms of appearance and temperament, he is not the same type as Cheng Zhu at all.
After shaking hands cordially, the two exchanged simple greetings while walking towards the company.
Cheng Zhu took the initiative to take Zhang Xuhao to visit Pomelo Tea, and he naturally nodded happily.
After a brief visit, he felt more and more that Cheng Zhu was a kindred spirit.
The reason is very simple. Overall, the team at Pomelo Tea is mostly composed of young people.
The overall atmosphere in the company is quite good, and there is no depressing feeling at all.
"Mr. Cheng, Yucha's working atmosphere is quite good." He really wasn't being polite.
"Right? I think so too." Cheng Zhuze said he was rude.
When Zhang Xuhao heard this, his signature innocent smile appeared on his face. On the contrary, he found this young man who was younger than himself very interesting.
It’s so easy for young people to communicate with each other!
After walking into Cheng Zhu's office and sitting down, Cheng Zhu did not take the route of making tea, but asked: "Coke or Sprite?"
"Coke, iced!" Zhang Xuhao said immediately.
After Cheng Zhu took out the Coke from the refrigerator, Zhang Xuhao joked: "I thought Mr. Cheng would prepare a cup of pomelo tea for me."
"Yes, I thought that after you arrive, you can order what you want to drink. When we finish talking, you can just take it away and drink on the way back." He replied.
"Okay, let's go for fleshy grapes." Zhang Xuhao took the opportunity to close the distance and said, "I have actually bought pomelo tea several times, and I also like Zhizhi berry, but my favorite is fleshy grapes."
The two chatted for a while before getting down to the main topic.
"Does Mr. Cheng have any plans to enter the food delivery platform?" Zhang Xuhao feels that there is no need to talk in circles with young people and talk about things that go around and around without any nutrition.
In fact, no matter it is him or Cheng Zhu, everyone's time is precious.
It's actually better to be more direct and efficient.
Those who speak in a vague manner are all pretentious, and it can be seen from the side that this person is not very busy and his time is not valuable.
"To be honest, there wasn't originally." Cheng Zhu replied.
He opened his bottle of iced Coke, took a sip, and said, "Mr. Zhang should know that our Pomelo Tea stores are currently operating at saturation, and even offline customers are overwhelmed."
"But online is the future trend."
"Well, I firmly believe this. You guys focused on the food delivery industry when you were studying. It is indeed an extremely genius decision." Cheng Zhu was generous in praising this.
Why many big guys have said: Choice is more important than hard work.
Because that is indeed the case.
Zhang Xuhao and the others set their sights on doing takeout at such an early stage, which was actually quite epoch-making.
After all, when people like Wang Xin and others started to engage in "group buying", they were actually copying foreign models.
Why was [group buying] so popular in the past few years, with so much capital pouring money into it, and even triggered a [Thousand Group War], with thousands of group buying companies fighting together?
It’s because foreign companies were very successful at the beginning and their valuations were terrible, which made everyone think that if they imitate and carry out a wave of localization operations, they can make huge profits!
This "imitation road" has many successful cases in the country.
Even the three giants of the Internet are setting an example.
As for the foreign group-buying company, many Chinese may have never heard of it, and it’s called Groupon.
It was its great success that started the "Thousand Regiments War", one of the eight major domestic Internet battles.
The most interesting thing is that later Groupon also thought about entering the Chinese market and fighting directly across the sea!
Groupon: "Hey, your dad is here!"
Then, it suffered a painful lesson.
Chinese Business Friend: How big is your father and your mother?
What kind of bullshit is there to fight across the sea? When you come here, just shrink away from me!
As soon as Groupon came to China to develop, I was immediately surprised to find that someone had actually registered our domain name in advance. Damn it!
You can do it if you want, but your domain name cannot be called Groupon.
It is obvious that it knows nothing about the basic operations of the domestic market.
Shopping malls are like battlefields. Chinese people are the ancestors of tactics and the art of war!
This company is just talking about buying the domain name.
As a result, this conversation lasted for several months, just to drag you down.
At that stage, every day that passes, the market structure will undergo earth-shaking changes.
Now it's good, this group buying ancestor from across the ocean came across the sea to fight, but he immediately lost his opportunity.
——Slip away.
