Chapter 80: Say No, Don't

In fact, Fang Hexu is right, the current technology circle is indeed like this, like the thousand group war that is brewing now, many people are following the trend to pour into the group buying industry, group buying websites are endless, the competition is so fierce that everyone is in a state of burning money to grab popularity, losing money and making money, not to mention profits, as long as the funds cannot be raised, the capital chain will collapse as soon as it collapses, it will end dismally...... Even if they survive, they don't know what the future holds, and it's unknown who will have the last laugh in the big waves!

There are many such examples, such as the previous search engine wars, video website wars, and even antivirus software wars, all of which eliminated the losers layer by layer.

Hearing Fang Hexu say this, Jiang Yuan looked at Yang Yan with some concern, and persuaded in a low voice: "Yanzi, otherwise, let's not take this risk, isn't it okay to do our outsourcing project well?"

Yang Yan smiled at Jiang Yuan, patted his shoulder lightly, and comforted: "Don't worry, the outsourcing project will still be done, after all, it is my biggest source of income." But it doesn't take much of my time, so I'm thinking about it now if we can take a little time to try out the takeaway project I'm talking about. ”

"Actually, I think about it a lot, especially the question of profitability that you mentioned about lunch boxes. Yang Yan still said to Fang Hexu very confidently, "In fact, we can temporarily not charge the annual fee of the merchant, and even give certain concessions or reductions in the merchant's turnover commission during the one-year or half-year promotion period, but we can use three conditions to negotiate with them, and strive to be able to make their products on our platform, give certain discounts, and even bear the cost of take-out and food delivery for consumers." ”

"What are the three conditions?" Fang Hexu asked.

"First, our platform can give them the guarantee of payment on their orders. Because we promote online banking payment on the Internet, just like online shopping dads, they serve food according to the order, so there is no need to worry about the customer regretting or disappearing when receiving takeaway. Yang Yan said.

"This is okay, and they don't have to worry about collecting money. Fang Hexu nodded, his eyes showed a shrewd light, and said, "Moreover, if we really want to make the business bigger like our online shopping father, the money transferred in our account every day will be a large amount, and before it is transferred to the merchant's account, this money will also be a large amount of income if it is used for financial management!"

Of course, this premise is also that the business will become bigger, and now it is just an unattainable pie.

"What's the second?" Lei Zhentian also asked.

"Second, the emergence of our platform is a complement to them, they can continue their own food delivery business, and what has increased on the platform is actually their new revenue, which is completely helping them attract new customers. Yang Yan smiled, "Since we helped them increase their income, there is no reason why they should not support our preferential activities." ”

"That's right!" Lei Zhentian nodded and said thoughtfully, "Like the barbecue restaurant opened by my fellow countryman, they didn't think about delivering takeaways, and if there was this takeaway, I believe he could make a little more." ”

"That's true, and it's the third point, which is that we're going to train a group of professional delivery workers. If the original business without takeaway business can open up new channels, the original takeaway business, in fact, this part of the delivery, they also save their own labor costs!"

Yang Yan said calmly: "You think, if you are a merchant, you only need to notify the kitchen to prepare food when a new order comes, and then our takeaway staff will come to pick up the food, which completely saves the follow-up trouble for the merchant. ”

"In this way, there is still a certain feasibility, but I still think this is a money-burning project, we must do marketing in the early stage, we must cultivate a takeaway delivery team, and if you want to make money, you have to wait for a long time!" Fang Hexu stretched his waist and said with a smile.

Although Fang Hexu was still pouring cold water on Yang Yan, he actually had some intentions, but this guy was hiding too deep for others to notice.

Lei Zhentian was a little unhappy with Fang Hexu's attitude, he snorted lightly, and said: "Isn't it all about paying attention to bitterness and then sweetness in business?" I think Yanzi's idea is very good, I have made this website by myself, not to mention, there is a relatively complete concept, I really want to look at it for a long time, I am still optimistic that Yanzi's project will be profitable." ”

"In fact, just like the online shopping dad and buckles, micro-broadcasting, everyone is making an entrance, as long as the user's habits are cultivated, we have mastered this entrance, and there are still many ways to make profits in the future in addition to the running water commission. Yang Yan smiled and nodded to Lei Zhentian, and said, "Moreover, don't you think that the current takeaway industry is really a territory that no one has touched? ”

"Okay, needless to say, this project, Yanzi, I'll invest one million in you, let's burn one million in the early stage to see the effect, if we can open up the market, we will talk about the follow-up operation!" Lei Zhentian said with a big grin.

Lei Zhentian really has a mine at home, and he will smash it if he says one million, of course, this is also out of his trust in Yang Yan.

Yang Yan was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Lao Lei, I don't need so much, my idea is that we will buy a server first, and then try to promote it near our school, especially the group of students with computers......"

However, Fang Hexu spoke again at this time: "Yanzi, more than a million? Your pattern is too small, when you open up the market of our school, others will already rob you of the rest of the cake!"

Yang Yan looked at Fang Hexu in surprise.

"In my opinion, if we want to do it, we have to make a big ticket!" Fang Hexu dipped a little tea in his hand, drew a chicken leg on the round table, and then he drew a circle, "This is the new LC area of Yangcheng, including the location of our school, and the most prosperous CBD center!"

"If we want to seize the market, we have to take this area within half a year, to be honest, this million is not enough!" Fang Hexu said with a smile.

"I see, you mean that we are going to do white-collar business, yes, they have the largest number of people, they all have computers, and there is a great demand for takeout for lunch! Compared to the students in the dining hall, their money is more profitable!" Yang Yan suddenly realized.

"Yanzi, why are you still limited to computers? What era is it now? In the era of mobile Internet, everyone has developed smartphone software, and you still let others use computers to order food!" Fang Hexu said with some hatred, "Our takeaway software can develop a mobile phone APP!"

Yang Yan patted his head and laughed: "Lunch box, what you said is that Senior Sister Xie has engaged in mobile phone clients before, but I ignored it." It's okay, I know how to change it to mobile phone software, I'll write it when I go back, and I'll send you an installation package to see. ”

"Hurry up and buy a smartphone, you are now at the forefront of technology, don't be unable to keep up with the pace of the times. Fang Hexu teased.

The straightforward Lei Zhentian doesn't like Fang Hexu's character who always hides something in his heart, but he doesn't deny that Fang Hexu is a very talented person, and he still silently agrees with Fang Hexu's words.

"Then the lunch box, you also want to join us, right?" Yang Yan smiled, "To be honest, I am sure of this project in terms of technology, but in terms of operation, without you, I still have no bottom in my heart." ”

"Hey, then I have to quit the job I worked so hard to find and did the internship for free for half a year!" Fang Hexu pretended to be reserved, "An employer, a technical side, and a management side like me, how do you plan to distribute our shares?"

Although Fang Hexu was joking, he was obviously concerned about this issue.

"Wait a minute, you don't have to use Lao Lei's money, I also earned a little money. And, don't forget, we still have Jiang Yuan!" Yang Yan motioned for Fang Hexu to wait first, he turned his head to look at Jiang Yuan, who was sitting there silently, and asked with a smile, "Jiang Yuan, do you want to join?"

Fang Hexu glanced at Jiang Yuan, his eyes flashed, and he said: "Think about it carefully, we are still burning money now, maybe for a while, a few buddies will have to work for nothing, and they can't get paid." ”

As soon as Fang Hexu said this, Jiang Yuan, who was originally a little shaken, became even more uneasy, he scratched his head, and said hesitantly: "Yanzi, you also know my situation, the expenses are a bit large, I still want to do outsourcing projects and make some money......

Yang Yan understood what Jiang Yuan meant, he smiled and said: "The outsourcing team will still do it, so let's do it, it's still the same as before, you help me bring these junior disciples, and I will also take the time to help you look at the code, but you also have to work hard to grasp the technology, it will take more than half a year to a year, and the focus of our team will gradually shift to you." ”

Everyone has their own ambitions, and Jiang Yuan, who is introverted, doesn't want to participate in this project with a lot of risk of failure, although Yang Yan feels a little sorry, but he won't force him. Moreover, Yang Yan will also help Jiang Yuan complete the transition, after all, Senior Sister Xie knows him, not Jiang Yuan.

Of course, Yang Yan also needs a relatively stable income, after all, the expenses on Luoluo's side are not small.

But Yang Yan is still very confident in his project, and he has an intuition that his takeaway project can be popular!

If he wants to have a considerable identity to pursue Xia Yu, Yang Yan has to find a way to make money, and for him who studies IT, starting a business like Zuckerberg is the most likely choice!

Of course, with Yang Yan's character as a technical otaku, it is not easy to start a business and make money, and besides, it is impossible for him to leave his whereabouts and run around.

Fortunately, he has two good brothers, Fang Hexu and Lei Zhentian, and several brothers have their own areas of expertise (although Lei Zhentian is good at "money"), complementary, this project may really be done!
