Chapter 517: Is it fun?(1/2)
Chapter 511 Is it fun?
The person who has always been in contact with Cheng Zhu at Mi Tuan is Murong Jun, who is one of the co-founders and executive director of Mi Tuan.
In 2024, this person ranked 2279th on the Hurun Global Rich List with a net worth of 11 billion yuan.
Note, this is a list of the world's richest people.
After many years, he will be able to have such wealth and status, let alone Wang Xin.
It is worth mentioning that in the "2022 Hurun Fortune Global 500" announced at the end of 2022, [Mi Tuan] ranked 103.
?????
In the same year, Wang Xin’s net worth exceeded 100 billion!
This company, which was valued at only US$7 billion at the beginning of 2015, will grow rapidly in the next few years and take off all the way!
If there is no interference from external forces and the development goes smoothly.
At this moment, Wang Xin was not willing to wait any longer.
He asked Murong Jun, who had been in contact with Cheng Zhu, to set up a matchmaking process, and then went to win over this talent himself.
Wang Xin made a brief phone call to Cheng Zhu that night and made an appointment, saying that he would fly to Hangzhou tomorrow to sit down and chat with him.
Although the current situation of [Mi Tuan] is very tense and the situation is somewhat embarrassing, the ambitious Wang Xin is still full of ambitions for the future.
He has already thought about it: "It's simply not enough to allow high-quality merchants to settle in!"
"When Mi Tuan gets on the right track, we can set up another investment company."
"We can definitely participate in the financing process when some emerging catering brands rise!"
"Firstly, we can profit from it, and secondly, we can achieve deep binding."
Wang Xin even thought of a name for the investment company, and it was called [Mi Tuan Longzhu Capital].
Wang Xin, who is called "Little Ma Yun" because of his appearance, is underestimated by many people for his ambition.
Little Ma Yun?
hehe!
Regarding the future of Mi Tuan, Wang Xin has a mature "troika" plan, and Mi Tuan Longzhu is one of the troika.
In his opinion, pomelo tea is an excellent investment project.
It’s a pity that the current [Mi Tuan] has just stepped on the corpses everywhere in the crazy money-burning [Thousand Group War] to become the king, and now it has to join the [Takeaway War] to burn money like crazy, which is a bit powerless.
In this regard, the veteran who has many entrepreneurial experiences is absolutely true.
——It doesn’t matter at all, you can draw a big pie.
The next day, Wang Xin flew to Hangzhou and came to Cheng Zhu's company.
In the afternoon of that day, the entry "rice dumpling pomelo tea" was on Weibo's hot search list.
What's interesting is that Cheng Zhu was not behind the scenes this time. He did not tell the public that Wang Xin would come to the company today.
He guessed that it was Mi Tuan who did it himself. He was jealous [Are you hungry?] about the wave of traffic last night!
As soon as this hot search came out today, the traffic was blocked.
The outside world will no longer think "Are you hungry because Pomelo Tea is coming?", but will understand that "everyone is exposed to Pomelo Tea, and the result is still unknown."
Anyway, [Mi Tuan]’s idea here is very simple. Regardless of whether it can be successful in the end, [Are You Hungry] received traffic yesterday, and I will also take advantage of Yucha today.
I always feel like I'm at a loss if I don't get it.
Cheng Zhu saw all this.
After meeting Wang Xin, he looked at the real person and probably understood why he had the nickname "Little Ma Yun".
When I looked at photos of the two of them before, I felt they looked a bit alike, and they looked more like each other in person.
Moreover, [Mi Tuan], who was backed by Penguin later, is now standing behind Ali.
Therefore, it is not surprising that he would have this nickname.
Cheng Zhu was actually quite curious: "Does he like this nickname? Does he think it is a compliment or a mockery?"
After meeting Wang Xin, Cheng Zhu did exactly the same thing as yesterday, which was to take him to visit his company.
But he knew very well that the feelings of young Zhang Xuhao after visiting and the feelings of veteran entrepreneur Wang Xin were completely different.
After Zhang Xuhao visited, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
After Wang Xin visited, he just exchanged a few pleasantries with Cheng Zhu.
After sitting down in the office, Cheng Zhu couldn't offer iced Coke like he did to Zhang Xuhao, but started making tea.
Wang Xin was also funny and asked: "Mr. Cheng, do you have pomelo tea in the company to make the tea base? Can you make a pot and try it?"
"Oh? I'm really prepared in my office!" Cheng Zhu smiled.
While drinking tea, everyone talked about the same content as yesterday.
However, Cheng Zhu could feel that Wang Xin wanted to control the pace of the chat and lead the conversation himself.
In this regard, he doesn't mind "cooperating" with him.
Throughout the process, Wang Xin frequently mentioned Alibaba.
He also said: "I am also going to Alibaba tomorrow. If Mr. Cheng is interested, we can come with him. Alibaba is actually quite interested in new restaurants, and as far as I know, they also have plans to invest in new restaurants. "
In Wang Xin's view, Alibaba is the local giant in Hangzhou after all.
As a native of Hangzhou, Cheng Zhu must have a different kind of awe and admiration for this local giant.
In fact, Alibaba's reputation in investment at this stage is not as bad as it was later, which is why Wang Xin mentioned this.
The main reason is that as time goes by, each Alibaba vote "die" one after another, and the number of examples increases year by year, and the reputation naturally becomes worse and worse.
After Cheng Zhu heard this, he sneered in his heart.
"Others don't know about Ali's evil deeds. How can you, a person with Ali's back, know about it?"
"After WeChat launched [Lucky Red Envelope], have you forgotten the anger you received from Ali?"
"Why is Alibaba interested in investing in new restaurants and drawing me this kind of pie for the next round of financing? Sorry, I have no interest at all."
At the beginning, Zhang Xiaolong, the father of WeChat, led his team to spend more than ten days to come up with the "grab red envelope" function. It can be said to be the ultimate genius idea.
This function does not seem to be a great one now, but it became popular across the country as soon as it was launched, and the number of people who have opened [WeChat Pay] has skyrocketed!
Just such a small function has posed an unprecedented threat to Alipay!
Jack Ma even compared it to the "attack on Pearl Harbor."
You know, during the [Thousand Regiments War] period, [Mi Tuan]’s archenemy [Dianping] was backed by Penguin.
After the rise of WeChat Pay, [Dianping] has a convenient third-party payment channel.
You know, Penguin can already provide [Dianping] with a steady stream of social traffic. Now, it also provides convenient mobile payment. What’s even more fatal is that the transaction rate is even lower than Alipay!
This made the growth rate of [Dianping] at that stage twice as high as that of [Mituan].
When Wang Xin saw this situation, of course he was going to cry and find his elder brother!
Are you interested in payment? Your WeChat payment has just emerged, and my eldest brother is the eternal king in the field of third-party payment!
"I, Xiao Ma Yun, request support!"
However, what is the result?
Alibaba’s thinking is: “We have just been stolen by Penguin in the third-party payment field. [Mi Tuan], a home-grown platform, has exceeded 200 million registered users, covering 1,000 cities and 800,000
Haha! Let’s start slaughtering!”
They've all been fattened up, why don't they kill them?
[Mi Tuan] With so many small businesses at our disposal, if we can win them in one fell swoop, why should we be afraid of Penguin’s sneak attack this time?
Wang Xin obviously came to ask for support from his eldest brother, but in the end, his eldest brother actually made a request: Xin, how about you set Alipay as the only payment method for Mi Tuan.
Wang Xin: No, eh? You, I, are stupid!
This is what Alibaba has always done. It invests in you and ultimately hopes that you will feed Alibaba back.
At that stage, it was the moment of decisive battle between [Mi Tuan] and [Dianping].
This is indeed good for Alibaba. It can set up a single payment mode, which will undoubtedly cause trouble to customers and put Mi Tuan at a greater disadvantage in the decisive battle.
It is precisely because of this that Wang Xin finally set his sights on the food delivery market and decided to win the food delivery business, expand his business, and kill [Comments]!
I have to say that Boss Wang’s business vision is still very good, and his strategic layout is also flawless. He can always make a comeback from desperate situations. He is a very capable person!
Relying on his experience from [Thousand Regiments War], he was a dimensionally reducing blow to Zhang Xuhao in [Are You Hungry]?
It's a pity that Penguin actually invested in [Are You Hungry] along with its own [Dianping], making the battle situation confusing again.
"Penguin! Penguin again!"
For Boss Wang, it is quite normal for [Dianping] to invest money in [Are You Hungry]? After all, it and [Mi Tuan] are the last two kings in the group buying field, and the winner has not been completely determined yet.
