In March last year, almost at the same time as Xiaomi, Meituan was launched, and the earliest Meituan was not engaged in takeaway, they started doing it almost in 14 years.

But Wang Xing's face is a little ruthless, not as simple as Zhang Xuhao, even if he entered the market late, but he acted aggressively and boldly, and frantically spent money to promote the development of Meituan Takeaway, which once made Ele.me lack funds, and finally sold himself to Ahri under huge financing pressure.

In fact, Ahri invested in Meituan at the earliest, and Ma Yun, who may be as strong, also appreciates Wang Xing, who has a neat and neat style, but Ahri's investment method is a bit tormenting, and he always wants to swallow people, so can Wang Xing admit it, no matter what the fucking giant you are, labor and management don't do it! They turned to Ele.me, while Meituan embraced Tengxun.

To put it simply, this kid is not as fun as Zhang Xuhao.

From the perspective of business itself, in August last year, Meituan had already received $12 million in Series A financing from Sequoia Capital.

Wang Xing has some skills.

Wen Xiaoguang also knows that in July this year, Ahri led a $50 million investment.

The company has only been established for fifteen months, and the funds it has obtained are already so much, and there is something.

In 2019, the company's market capitalization was equivalent to two Xiaomi, and second only to AT.

Of course, so much glory is later, and now he is still running for traffic.

The Internet has been around for more than ten years, and the entrepreneurial model has not changed, and it is always attracting more traffic at the beginning.

Wen Xiaoguang expected that he might come to him, but he wasn't sure when he was talking to Li Yidan that day, and he listened to her.

Li Yidan said: "Two days ago, at the investment salon of Sequoia, their people mentioned to me that I think this business is quite valuable to WeChat, and it can be regarded as an emerging format of mobile Internet. ”

Wen Xiaoguang was flipping through an email, but he didn't care, and asked, "What business?"

"It's a company called Meituan. It is a group buying website. ”

There was a noticeable pause in his index finger clicking the left mouse button, and then his eyes turned, "Meituan, have you met someone?"

"I saw it, a typical engineering man wearing glasses, saying that he hoped to have a chance to meet you. ”

Wen Xiaoguang didn't respond immediately, "Do you think group buying websites are helpful for WeChat?"

"At least it's a takeaway, we provide traffic for it, and they provide a new service category for WeChat, which is complementary to each other. ”

Yes, there is, Meituan and Dianping are indispensable apps for many girls. Whether you can eat delicious food or not is all up to others.

But that anti-bone cub is not easy to deal with, Wen Xiaoguang turned his pen and thought about it and asked, "What is their situation now?"

Li Yidan was strange, as if he understood very well, "Mr. Wen, do you know about group buying?"

"I know, we have discussed everything when we think about mobile Internet projects in Zhonghai, group buying, special sales, takeaways, this kind of O2O platform has certain potential in the era of smart phones and 3G and later 4G. Tell me, how far has it go?"

"What is O2O?"

Wen Xiaoguang explained: "It is Online To Offline, which refers to the combination of offline business opportunities and the Internet, this concept first came from the United States, and it is not unusual. ”

Li Yidan saw that he spoke so easily, but a group of people at the salon at that time were inexplicably excited, thinking that the business opportunity was among them, and when he arrived at Wen Xiaoguang, he felt that the mobile Internet had been seen through by him.

"It seems that Meituan is also the same kind, in less than a year they have opened services in four first-tier cities and many second-tier cities such as Wuhan, Wuxi, Nanjing, Xi'an, Shijiazhuang, etc., this young man is bolder than Zhang Xuhao, Sequoia gave 12 million US dollars, he really dares to spend, and recently in financing. ”

Zhang Xuhao is also much better, this time he got a huge amount of 24 million US dollars, Wen Xiaoguang gave him a clear goal, WeChat has services in so many cities, you can't do it nationwide, but major cities have to cover it.

I'm busy right now.

"$12 million spent so quickly?" Wen Xiaoguang thought of something, and couldn't help laughing, "I gave us $2 million last year, but at the end of the year, I told me that the four first-tier cities had not been fully covered, and I had a question mark in my head at that time." ”

Li Yidan pursed his lips and chuckled.

"Each has its own good, and there are many problems with fast development, and there is no certain ability, and it is not good to deal with the relationship between speed and stability. ”

The similarities and differences between the two, Wen Xiaoguang didn't talk about it anymore, and it was easier for them to control if he had a mild personality, "So Wang Xing saw you at that time, he asked for money?"

"Not really. Li Yidan said: "That young man is very confident, and he looks bold, he doesn't want money, he wants our mouth." ”

"I'll think about it. He smiled and said, "You give him my phone number and let him call me." ”

Meitu-Dianping can also provide a fresh service for WeChat users, just like Ele.me.

In the early days, Wen Xiaoguang and his team were very careful, there was nothing new in the interface of news and video, and they all got it, on the one hand, users felt disturbed, and on the other hand, they were also lowering their prices.

Just like the top movie stars in the early years had to control their exposure, there was something strange to see every day.

Scarcity is expensive, WeChat is a good entrance, and it is difficult to get, which are the two necessary conditions for it to be valuable, and it is not easy to make one less.

There are more than a dozen entrances, what is the point of this value?

What can be solved by making a phone call to Wen Xiaoguang's office, who will treat it as a big deal?

But now it's different, Ele.me has experienced explosive growth in both users and transactions through WeChat's investment and traffic import, this guy, since then, those entrepreneurs who want traffic are as red as their buttocks.

As long as Wen Xiaoguang nodded, they were happy to call his father! But he just didn't nod! Why, the opportunity to call his father was not given to you! People are cheap, and the more they don't give it, the more they want it.

In fact, inexplicably, all kinds of messy app companies are trying to hand over the business plan to Wen Xiaoguang's case.

Anyway, it's through all kinds of connections, such as mobile games, rental agents, tourism, sports, all kinds of bells and whistles.

If you think about it, you know it's impossible!

The most nonsense is that marriage and love also want to intervene, saying that WeChat users are single, and you are more than your sister!

The downstream entrepreneurial market is waiting to be fed, just waiting for Wen Xiaoguang to eat, and meeting him at this time is the most exciting event for entrepreneurs!

Wang Xing got this opportunity.

When Li Yidan informed him, he excitedly went around the office twice.

The female voice on the phone is so pleasant!

"Hello Mr. Wang, I am Li Yidan of the Investment Department of Weituo Technology, I conveyed your words on behalf of me after the last farewell, but Mr. Wen's schedule is compact, if you are still willing to fight, you can call the assistant in the email to make an appointment with Mr. Wen, good luck!"

Wang Xing opened the office door and snapped his fingers, shouting: "Have a meeting, have a meeting!" I got Wen Xiaoguang's phone number, let's discuss, what questions he will ask, how will we answer!"

"Mr. Wang, I was just going out to meet a client. "One person reflects difficulties.

"Change the time!Can't you tell the difference between priorities and urgency?!"

It is indeed exciting, he can now call Wen Xiaoguang! As long as it is successful, the growth of that business can suddenly take the company out of the weakness and helplessness of start-ups, and it will not be so unattainable to become a large-scale enterprise.

And marketing is a lot of money, and in the end, it is not as efficient as a WeChat interface.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is a turning point that is much more important than the $12 million Series A financing!
