Chapter 202: Worth Soaring, Although Still Poor (1/3)

September can be said to belong to "Tao Takeaway", since the topic of "omnipotent takeaway brother" has been hyped, "Tao Takeaway" is not only a household name and has entered the fast lane of development, but it has also entered the field of vision of many venture capital institutions and Internet giants!

Before the arrival of the 11th Golden Week, Fang Hexu first held a more formal high-level meeting of "Tao Takeaway". Yang Yan was not absent, and Li Peiyun also attended the meeting as a representative of the technical department.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your dedication in the past six months, and now I can proudly confirm to you that we are now the largest online ordering and takeaway delivery company in China!" Fang Hexu raised his arms high and made a passionate opening remarks.

Infected by him, many department managers were also full of pride, and they were so excited that they slapped their palms red, and even Li Peiyun, who was usually calm, Yang Yan saw that his face was red with excitement.

The achievements of "Tao Takeaway" in the past six months are undoubted, and Fang Hexu even used a line of numbers to list the achievements that everyone has gained after paying.

Yang Yan and Lei Zhentian were relatively calm, they glanced at each other, and they sighed with the same emotion: "This guy in the lunch box is getting more and more eloquent!"

“…… Last week, I was approached by a venture capitalist who asked about our funding intentions. Of course, it's inconvenient for me to reveal which one it is, you just need to know the cards that are very good!" Fang Hexu's words caused everyone to laugh.

"Of course, financing is impossible, we have just conducted a round of financing, of course, it can also be said to be Mr. Lei's secondary investment. Fang Hexu said with a smile, "The money is still enough to spend, and we are also preparing to arrange an option incentive plan for everyone at the end of the year, how can we start thinking about financing again?"

These words ignited the enthusiasm of the audience at once, and when they heard that there was an equity incentive, the eyes of all the senior executives lit up, and they applauded one after another, this time it was even more enthusiastic!

Option incentive is not a cake that Fang Hexu drew for everyone, this is also something that Fang Hexu has discussed with Lei Zhentian and Yang Yan, but there is no confirmed plan for how to implement it, but the three of them agreed to do this.

After all, start-up companies have low salaries, and if they want to retain talents, they have to rely on options.

Needless to say, ordinary executives of Li Peiyun's level had already drawn up corresponding option clauses in the contract when they were first recruited.

After a bit of a distance, Fang Hexu continued: "Although we have no intention of financing, I still had a brief conversation with the other party and learned how much our company is worth now. ”

"I can't disclose the exact amount, but I can tell you that this licensed venture capital fund gives us a valuation of eight figures, and the first number is not an odd number!" Fang Hexu smiled and said, "Of course, I don't think we are worth eight figures, don't you say?"

Eight figures, and the first digit is not one, so if others think less about the valuation of "Tao Takeaway", it is more than 20 million!

As a college student startup, such an achievement is enough to make everyone proud!

Yang Yan was no exception, he knew what the real number was that Fang Hexu didn't say, and he also knew that although the savings on his bank card did not exceed 100,000, he was worth more than 5 million. Therefore, when Fang Hexu was sensational, he also secretly sighed.

Half a year ago, he had the ambition to start a business, but he had no idea that the results would come so quickly......

Of course, the success of entrepreneurship is inseparable from his ideas and technical support, Lei Zhentian's financial support, and even more inseparable from Fang Hexu's busyness day and night.

Yang Yan feels that "Tao Takeaway" can grow by leaps and bounds, and it is more due to Fang Hexu's management and this month's operation like a stroke of genius!

After Fang Hexu mobilized everyone's emotions, he began to talk about business.

"Just because we're on the same footing doesn't mean we can rest easy. Fang Hexu switched the projection in the conference room and said seriously, "We are starting to have competitors!"

Hearing the change in Mr. Fang's tone, the smiles on many people's faces couldn't help but converge.

Fang Hexu pointed to the projection screen behind him and said: "We still have a lot of competitors, such as Pengcheng's "Open Meal", which was originally a company that did group buying, but the competition in group buying is too fierce, they launched a new takeaway website this month; ”

"The background of 'Meal' is a bit similar to ours, it is also a college student start-up company, initially made a website telephone ordering, before we entered the Pengcheng market, there was a round of confrontation with them, in Pengcheng colleges and universities, their reputation is not small!"

Fang Hexu said more solemnly: "If they are still the same scale as before, I don't think there is any threat, but recently I heard that 'Meal' has obtained financing, and they are also promoting their mobile phone software among universities in Modu, although it is still in the internal testing stage, but it can be seen that they are on the right path, if they are given time, maybe they can develop a second 'Tao takeaway'!"

The atmosphere in the conference room was tense.

"Of course, we don't have to worry too much, because we are already ahead of the curve and have made a name for ourselves in front of the people of the whole country!" Fang Hexu's confident smile gave the young executives a little impetuous mood a support.

"But no matter how fast the rabbit runs or how far in front of it, if it stops to sleep, the turtle will catch up one day!" Fang Hexu patted the table lightly and said, "Today's meeting, I hope everyone will give me the chicken blood again, after the National Day holiday comes back, the business side, give me a plan, we will start to develop the market in small and medium-sized cities!" Propaganda department, you also have to go back to study how to open up propaganda in small and medium-sized cities, and the gameplay over there is different from ours this month!"

"Technical department!" Fang Hexu looked at Yang Yan and Li Peiyun, his eyes were very sharp, and Yang Yan and Li Peiyun both sat up straight in unison.

"You also have to take action, whether it is to improve the user's experience, or something else, our website and APP must not hold the company back!" Fang Hexu said in a gentle and stern tone.

"Mr. Fang, please rest assured. Yang Yan nodded solemnly.

……

After the meeting, Li Peiyun followed Yang Yan back to their territory, and just entered the conference room, Li Peiyun said with emotion: "Mr. Yang, Mr. Fang's expansion speed, let alone improve the UI design, you have to set up the server first! More and more users, the server can't keep up with the calculation, the more everyone uses it, the more cards we use, and there is no way to talk about any user experience." ”

"It's another big expense!" Yang Yan understood what Li Peiyun meant, he sighed and rubbed his temples on both sides, "Our cloud computing has not yet been developed, this thing is much more difficult and too much than imagined! ”

"Hey, Mr. Yang, it's not that there is no chance!" Li Peiyun suddenly remembered something, his eyes lit up, and he said to Yang Yan.
