Chapter 548: Find a way out(2/2)
"I went there with my parents when I was young to see the Oriental Pearl Tower." Xiao Wang replied.
"The roads in Shanghai are not easy to drive. After getting off the expressway, don't drive too hastily. Don't drive wrong." Cheng Zhu ordered.
"Okay."
Today’s itinerary is to go to Hungry’s company headquarters first. He has to hold several meetings.
Then, I have to have dinner with Zhang Xuhao and Zhang Tao in the evening.
After arriving at Are You Hungry?, Cheng Zhu was taken directly to Zhang Xuhao's office.
Brother Hao's reception method was exactly the same as when Cheng Zhu was in Hangzhou. He asked: "Ice Coke?"
"OK."
After Cheng Zhu sat down on the sofa, he smiled and said, "You always complain that the Coke in my company is out of steam, but I want to see what your Hungry Coke is like."
Zhang Xuhao smiled and handed over a can of Coke. As a result, when Cheng Zhu opened the bottle, there was not much vapor sound.
"It's so funny, now it's better, I don't even need to try it anymore." Cheng Zhu complained.
"Actually, I don't drink soda very much. When I go to your company, I only indulge occasionally." Zhang Xuhao said.
"What should I say? Lose weight?"
The fat man with glasses nodded, without denying it, and said, "That's one thing, and most of the people who come to the company drink tea."
Cheng Zhu was sitting in Brother Zhenxuehao's office, and he seemed quite familiar with it. He looked at the time and said, "There's still half an hour until the meeting. You're busy with your work. I'll just sit by myself for a while."
"Okay, I do have a lot of things to do now." Zhang Xuhao was not polite.
The two of them are very familiar with each other now, so there is no need to be so polite.
Half an hour later, the two walked into the conference room talking and laughing.
Today, Long Wei, the co-founder of [Dianping], is also here to participate in the meeting on behalf of [Dianping].
After all, [Dianping] is also one of the owners of [Are You Hungry]?
Moreover, the money they invested in Are You Hungry was much more than Cheng Zhu's "additional head".
In addition, someone from Penguin also came over today, a very capable-looking woman.
Before the meeting officially started, Zhang Xuhao specially took Cheng Zhu to find representatives from Long Wei and Penguin Fang to introduce Cheng Zhu to them.
Long Wei looked at this young man who Zhang Tao said was extremely evil. For the time being, he couldn't see anything but his irresistible handsomeness.
Under the enthusiastic introduction from the enthusiastic brother, everyone also left each other's contact information.
During the meeting, Cheng Zhu basically listened and rarely expressed any opinions of his own.
On the other hand, Long Wei was quite talkative.
Cheng Zhu didn't have much interest in Long Wei. Instead, he was more interested in contacting Penguin's capable woman.
Her name is Guan Meiting.
He was paying attention to her, not because she was beautiful.
This Guan Meiting looks like an ordinary woman.
Cheng Zhu observed that she was similar to him, so he didn't say much in the meeting. At the end of the meeting, he asked a few more concerning questions on behalf of Penguin and asked for a piece of data.
Obviously, this is the case here at Penguin. After investing money in you, they won’t tell you too much.
Penguin, an Internet giant, can be said to have the most incredible traffic in China.
For Penguin, investing money is more channels for monetizing traffic.
Cheng Zhuren definitely prefers this kind of cooperation model. It only cares about money, which is sometimes good.
Just having money is better than asking for power like Ali.
Oh, by the way, in addition to seeking power, I will also kick out the founder in the future.
Cheng Zhu felt that his macho butt was not meant for kicking.
After the meeting, there was an internal meeting for Are You Hungry in the afternoon?
Only Zhang Xuhao and a few co-founders attended.
He even dragged Cheng Zhu into such an internal meeting.
In the small conference room, Cheng Zhu talked a little more than before.
Of course, there are only so many.
However, although he didn't speak much, he was able to point out some of Hungry's current pain points.
In addition, some of the plans he gave also made Zhang Xuhao fall into deep thought many times.
After the meeting, the two returned to the office together.
It's still some time before the scheduled meal, so they can still chat privately for a while.
Strictly speaking, they are considered their own people. Cheng Zhu and Zhang Tao can only be considered half of their own people.
This has to do with personal relationships and the degree of interest bundling.
Zhang Xuhao directly revealed to Cheng Zhu: "I have been in contact with Zhang Tao quite frequently these days. I feel, well, just my own personal feeling, I think he has a tendency to merge with Mi Tuan."
Hearing this, Cheng Zhu nodded and said: "This is normal. Dianping is different from Mi Tuan. After all, Dianping is a company established in 2002. It has been running for more than ten years and has been profitable before.
Just because of the Thousand Regiments War, we started to stop making profits.”
The span of more than ten years, the bloodshed and high pressure of the war will make entrepreneurs feel extremely tired.
What’s more, the [capital winter] has arrived.
"Then what should I do if there is a merger? How should we deal with ourselves if we are hungry? The situation will be very embarrassing!" Zhang Xuhao said.
Should we continue to fight, or merge together?
Brother Hot-blooded Hao is 100% unwilling to merge.
The prospects of the food delivery market are so good, and all kinds of capital are also placing heavy bets. It is not like the group buying field, which has already ushered in the dusk.
What's more, his and Zhang Tao's mentality are completely different.
Are You Hungry? We were the first to do takeout.
In other words, for the takeout market to reach its current scale, they are the earliest innovators and pioneers!
Damn it, we worked so hard to open up the market, and then we were dominated by you?
Damn it, am I trying to create a market for you in my relationship?
I spent so much energy and burned so much money, but the result is that I am cultivating customers for Mi Tuan and increasing the user base for Mi Tuan?
Isn’t this fucking wedding dress for you, Wang Xin?
What's more, Hungry?'s current market share is not inferior to that of rice dumpling takeout.
Zhang Xuhao owns the world of first- and second-tier cities, just like the base camp of Magic City. Hungry Are You’s market share is extremely exaggerated. It’s not enough for everyone else combined.
At this moment, Cheng Zhu looked at the extremely worried Zhang Xuhao, leaned back, and then crossed his legs.
He had already set his posture and immediately said a few words that shocked Zhang Xuhao.
"Actually, we still have a way out."
"What's the way out?"
"Have you ever thought [Baidu Takeout] is delicious? Have you ever thought about eating it?"
Zhang Xuhao couldn't sit still for a while.
"Who do you want to eat? Who do you want to eat?"
"Me? Me!"
"Should I go to Baidu, one of the three giants of the Internet?"
Brother Hao felt that everyone was dumbfounded.
(ps: Please give me a monthly ticket~)
