Chapter 356: Morality and Wealth
Ele.me in 2010 has just won the recognition of many college students, and those children who play games in the dormitory even want to save money when they go downstairs to eat.
But the Ele.me app 1.0 was only launched in 2012.
Right now?
In Huangfu's report, Wen Xiaoguang saw a pattern that he couldn't even imagine.
At this time, Ele.me is a takeaway delivery website, and its operation model is terrifying: telephone ordering, manual reconciliation and settlement with restaurants, and the most exaggerated is door-to-door collection.
This model is too heavy, and the whole process is extremely cumbersome. It is extremely inconvenient to change the meal temporarily, and accidents such as phone errors and address errors are not allowed, and the occurrence is a spiral explosion in situ, but this is unavoidable, who has not made a mistake in ordering takeout?
Wen Xiaoguang thinks that this may be the reason why Ele.me still hasn't raised funds.
Just look at this mode of operation, you told me that this is called the Internet technology industry? It's not ten years ago, it's a website that can fool people.
"There is no need to introduce things from the past," Wen Xiaoguang still wanted to hear what he had to say, "Huangfu's report probably says that you are very successful on the university campus, and your business volume is growing rapidly, I know all of them, what about the future?"
Zhang Xuhao glanced at Huangfu, as if he was finding confidence in himself.
"We are planning to develop an online restaurant client, which we call Napos internally. ”
"Napos?" Wen Xiaoguang raised his eyebrows, he hadn't heard of this thing in the previous time and space, so his first reaction was reliable?
It's just a client, and he also knows that Zhang Xuhao is aware of the extremely heavy problem of the model, and this problem will definitely be solved in the future, otherwise it won't develop like it will be, could it be this Napos system?
"Yes," Zhang Xu said: "The way of ordering food on the website is very troublesome, it is inconvenient for merchants to receive orders and charge, and it is also inconvenient for users to pay, modify and order food, and for us because the two parties feel troublesome, it will hinder our development." ”
"So thinking about it, although it is difficult, we want to develop Napos, which can be put on the shelves to receive orders online, users order online, modify menus, connect with each other online, and update information in a timely manner. ”
Wen Xiaoguang's index finger tapped his knee regularly, and he listened, "A reminder, set up a function for merchants to update dishes in a timely manner, such as dish sales chimes, so that users can be reminded." ”
"Yes, yes, yes," Zhang Xuhao took a note, and it seemed that it was not a joke when people said that they had thought about it at the beginning.
There is one more problem.
"So Napos is an app?"
"We hope that it can be made into an app, but now we have just started to develop it, and it is also gradually iterative. ”
Wen Xiaoguang was obedient and listened, and he immediately said: "It's best to develop it into an app so that users can download and use it in the Apple and Android app markets." ”
"In addition, if you want to form a complete service system, you also need to use LBS services, which is based on location information, choose nearby restaurants, and if the takeaway is too far, it is not possible, and you must also support refunds and refunds. In order to protect the merchant's profits, also set a minimum delivery price. The most important thing is to include electronic payments. ”
Zhang Xuhao looked confused. Why are you thinking more clearly than I am?
He smiled embarrassedly, "What's that...... Why don't I invite you to our company? ”
He felt a little like he was getting an axe in the class, and the financing thing was originally to draw a big pie to fool people, but as a result, people understood it better.
Wen Xiaoguang shook his head, "I'm going to the United States soon, let's talk about it when I come back." Actually, what I said may not be right, you can use it as a reference, as for investment, for the sake of the emperor's face, I will also invest money, 1 million US dollars, how about it?"
Zhang Xuhao breathed heavily.
Everyone is poor, and a million dollars is a huge sum of money that most people have never seen in their lifetime.
It is not appropriate to invest too much in the initial stage, either you occupy too many shares and affect the development of others, or you don't want so many shares, do you think that the financiers behind you will not dilute you?
Think too much.
"That ...... in terms of shares" Zhang Xuhao was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect it to be so smooth.
"20%, it's not necessary to have more, it compresses your space, and my fund manager has to annoy me. Wen Xiaoguang made a little joke, "In addition, you said that you will go to your company, and when I come back from the United States, Huangfu, you contact me, and I will definitely take the time to come over." ”
It's not just a matter of acquaintances and not acquaintances.
Wen Xiaoguang just wants to try his best to help the companies he invests in like Li Keyang, so that others can see how good it is to get his investment, so that he will have the right to speak in the industry.
Moreover, when he makes a request, he can also be very confident. For example, access payment.
Zhang Xuhao was so excited that he didn't know what to say, but he secretly decided in his heart that he must become a successful entrepreneur.
"Hey, by the way," Wen Xiaoguang forgot for a moment, "In terms of promotion, what are your ideas?
"Yes, we have no plans to promote it outside the school for the time being, and after we leave Jiaotong University, we will also promote it in other universities, and in other cities in the future, we will also promote it in universities. I think these college students will become white-collar workers after graduation, and white-collar workers have no time to cook, so they will bring this habit of ordering takeout to society. ”
Wen Xiaoguang was speechless, you want to say that he is wrong, it seems to make some sense, you have to say that he is right, it sounds a little taken for granted.
But it also happens that college students are the main force of social interaction.
"Okay, I won't interfere with the specifics, I just hope that the process of the app can be faster, and I can also reveal some to you, we are making an online payment company, and we can combine Ele.me and online payment in the future." ”
Zhang Xuhao asked, "How fast?"
"A year. Wen Xiaoguang did not hesitate, as one of the earliest local life service companies, the development of this company can obviously be accelerated.
This conversation seems to be very high-quality in Zhang Xuhao's opinion, and he actually wants to talk about online payment at another date. But Wen Xiaoguang ran out of time.
He even had time to see what a mini-style lake-view room looked like.
In late July 2010, Wen Xiaoguang finally boarded a passenger plane bound for California.
Sarah accompanies him, and the $750,000 annual salary makes her happy to work as an assistant, and there's no denying that our service staff usually learn superficially.
You can't learn the enthusiasm and happiness that people show when they serve you, in fact, her emotions will be contagious to the people being served.
In the first-class cabin, Wen Xiaoguang turned his head and found that the person wearing a hat on the other side of the aisle was Chu Qiuchen, which surprised him, "Didn't you go back to Zhonghai?"
Chen Bei touched his nose, "She said she wanted to go with us." ”
Chu Qiuchen said: "It's boring to go out alone, just in time for you to go to the United States, I'll go too." ”
"What are you going to do?" Wen Xiaoguang asked.
"I have relatives over there, my mom is here, I'm going to see my mom. ”
"Your mother'......"
Well, Wen Xiaoguang couldn't speak, he obeyed, "Then why didn't you tell me?"
"You're really not interesting at all, and if you bump into you like this, doesn't it seem that life is full of surprises? ”
Wen Xiaoguang: "......"
What a mess.
"Then you should get old over there, right?"
"Yes, after my mom and my dad divorced, she lived in the United States and didn't want to come back, and I went to see her every year. ”
Divorced,
Chen Bei sat on Wen Xiaoguang's right hand, and he leaned in and whispered: "Do you remember that I mentioned her father to you? ”
Wen Xiaoguang remembered that Chen Bei said that Chu Qiuchen's father was completely the kind of feeling that he had money and Lao Tzu was the Jade Emperor, with a low level of education and personal quality, a tough style, self-righteousness, and contempt for common sense.
So in terms of personal and private life, he is naturally not very decent, he has touched the buttocks of celebrities, hugged the small waist of models, scourged the secretary at work, relieved the stumbling girl after work, and was a proper hooligan rich man.
But there are indeed such people in society, on the one hand, the moral standard is extremely low, on the other hand, the wrist ability is extremely hard, and they often call for wind and rain in a certain field, so uncomfortable.
There are even more such people, after all, benevolence, righteousness, morality, softness and weakness are not easy to grab food in this jungle.
Chu Qiuchen watched Wen Xiaoguang's eyes change, and immediately understood, "Old Chen, what are you muttering nonsense?"
Having said that, Wen Xiaoguang was suddenly able to understand Chu Qiuchen through Chen Bei's description, and you can see that she is too, smart, eccentric, and unusual.
"It's nothing," he said for Chen Bei, "it's just the first time I've heard you talk about your parents' divorce." ”
"This is a man," Chu Qiuchen dismissed, and then turned his face with a smile, "That's why I was impressed with Chen Bei, although this guy is stupid, but he is an infatuated person in his bones, and you are far worse than him in this aspect." ”
Wen Xiaoguang innocently lay down, "What's wrong with me?"
"Are you a good man? That's not the case in a way. ”
Wen Xiaoguang smiled, "When we are poor, people like to talk about wealth to men, and when we are rich, people like to say morality to us." ”
"China's feminist is overdeveloped, and it has developed to the point that men should basically live for women, and everything is based on women's satisfaction, as if our lives should strive for your satisfaction, and put everything into the word 'sense of responsibility', but my experience tells me that the most important thing to satisfy women is not to be a model of character and morality, but to make them rich. Otherwise, beautiful women should surround the moving Chinese characters rather than the rich. ”
Chu Qiuchen was a little speechless and stopped, the little boy he met at the beginning had slowly grown up.
