Chapter 710: I Want It All (4000 Words Update)
Zhou Hongyi is very glad that she took the plunge to attend the opening ceremony of the third phase of the International Trade Center today.
At that time, he saw Liu Yun from a distance, and he was really embarrassed to meet Liu Yun out of face. If it weren't for Lei Jun's deadlifting, he would have avoided it far away.
He was complaining about Lei Junkeng himself just now, but now he is grateful to him.
Zhou Hongyi didn't know that Liu Yun didn't care much about this investment of up to 200 million yuan, and if he failed, he failed, and he invested in more successful projects.
So when he saw Liu Yun, he didn't blame himself, but supported him to start a second business, and he was a little moved in his heart.
This is the person who really stands at the top of the Chinese business world, and he doesn't care if 200 million yuan is lost.
In the eyes of outsiders, he Zhou Hongyi can be regarded as a big man in the Internet industry, but compared with Liu Yun, his little capital is not enough at all.
"Mr. Liu, if I am like Meituan and make a takeaway APP, what is the best name?" Zhou Hongyi was grateful to Liu Yun in his heart, and hoped that he would come to the name.
"Then it's called ......" Liu Yun was silent for a moment and said, "Are you hungry?"
Zhou Hongyi opened his mouth slightly, was stunned for a while, and said, "Are you hungry?
Liu Yun was also slightly stunned, although his face still pretended to be as plain as water, but at the moment his heart was extremely embarrassed, as if he had been exposed on the spot for pretending to fail.
"Ele.me was established so early?Could it be that I remembered it wrong?" he thought silently in his heart, "I have the impression that the time of Ele.me fire was much later than Meituan, but I didn't expect the company to be established so early." ”
Liu Yun could only smile and pretend to be amazed: "This name is already there! It seems that the name 'Eleme' is good, and someone has thought of it together." ”
Zhou Hongyi's mind was full of the second venture, and he didn't take Liu Yun's words to heart, nor did he wonder why the name he blurted out already existed.
"It's a good name, but it's a pity that someone has already taken the lead. He sighed lightly, "I personally like the name 360, and I think I should continue to use it." ”
Lei Jun on the side suddenly interjected: "This is not very good, after all, your 360 mall has failed, and it is a little unlucky to bring the words 360." ”
Liu Yun shook his head and expressed a different opinion: "Don't be so superstitious. 360 is a good name, and there is no need to dismiss it all because of a single loss. ”
He has always thought that the name 360 is very good, and the failure of 360 Mall has little to do with the name, but because of the improper operation of Zhou Hongyi, frankly speaking, he has no e-commerce genes.
As a mature businessman, you can't pull out that thing, and blame the pit for it.
Of course, Liu Yun still has a small idea in his heart, he hopes that the name 360 in this time and space can still meet the world in another way.
But this time, neither he nor Lei Jun noticed that Zhou Hongyi let out a long breath silently, and it seemed that the pressure on his shoulders was much less.
It turns out that he himself has a soft spot for the words 360, and if it is not a last resort, he is really unwilling to make changes.
Liu Yun is an investor, and he has a channel in his hand that he values very much, if he feels that because of the failure of the 360 mall, he feels that these words are unlucky, and strongly asks to change his name, Zhou Hongyi can only do nothing and follow the will of the other party.
Thankfully, the young boss didn't force this.
"Mr. Liu, I named 360 because I have my own understanding. Zhou Hongyi cleared his throat and said with some excitement, "360 is 360 °, all in all directions, no dead ends." If it is extended to food delivery services, it can be understood that we can deliver the food you want to you whenever and wherever you want. ”
Liu Yun touched his chin, muttered for a few seconds, and said with a smile: "The advertising words are a bit exaggerated, but if they are not exaggerated, they can't be called advertising words." 360 is a good name, but I must emphasize that if it fails again this time, there will be no third chance. Mr. Zhou should have the determination to make a desperate bet and fight against the odds. ”
Zhou Hongyi nodded cautiously and replied: "Mr. Liu, I also regard this as the last business in my life. If I fail, I will not be able to work for others, so I can only be an angel investor with peace of mind and retire. ”
This hot-tempered veteran of the industry is rarely sincere.
The failure of 360 Mall has almost smoothed out the edges and corners of his character. He knows very well that most of the Internet bigwigs who usually call them brothers and sisters are pointing fingers behind their backs and gloating.
There is no one like Liu Yun who not only does not blame the past, but also sends charcoal in the snow.
He didn't expect that Liu Yun also had his own abacus at this time: for Zhou Hongyi's secondary investment, the total amount of financing in the next few rounds will be about 1 billion yuan, and it is good if he succeeds, but if he fails, it will be regarded as a favor, because he killed the appearance of 360 through stratagem.
What's more, compared with the strong e-commerce website, the competitiveness of the food delivery service platform is relatively weak.
Take a look at the e-commerce market, which bigwigs are: Alibaba, JD.com, and Suning, and even Vipshop can easily crush 360.
Let's take a look at the food delivery service platform: Wang Xin, the founder of Meituan, has had two failed experiences, and there are not many people who are optimistic about him this time, and it is not so easy to raise funds;
Liu Yun suddenly remembered a news he had read in his previous life, when the platform Ele.me was first established, several of its founders were still students at Jiaotong University. Their business scope is also basically concentrated in some universities in Shanghai. Now it's still a state of small fights.
A college student start-up has become one of the most high-profile and valuable startups in China after encountering cash-burning competition, giant crushing and capital chasing.
This can be called the greatest miracle of the Internet age, if there is no precedent for Yoyo.
But the difference is that when Liu Yun founded Youyou, it was still in 2003, when the Internet bubble had just burst, it was still a wild era, but the birth age of Ele.me was different, it was the end of 2009, the beginning of 2010, the development of the entire Internet has reached a very mature stage, and the mobile Internet is a battlefield for some capital tycoons.
In such an environment, Ele.me was able to stand out, complete the counterattack under the entrepreneurial boom, O2O outlet, cruel competition and subsidy war, and the pattern of giants, and staged a wonderful and moving entrepreneurial story, Liu Yun still has a little admiration in his heart.
"I don't remember the name of the founder of Ele.me, but this guy seems to be 25 years old, the same year as me. ”
It was rare for him to feel a sense of pity in his heart.
"Mr. Zhou, you should make it clear who your competitors are when you engage in 360 takeaway?" Liu Yun was silent for a while and said.
"Competitors? It should be Meituan and Ele.me. Zhou Hongyi frowned slightly and thought about it and said. He felt that the strength of these two companies was not very powerful, and his advantages were still obvious.
"No, your only opponent is Meituan. Liu Yun shook his head and denied his point of view, "Ele.me is just a small company, so there is nothing to be afraid of, but after all, the founder of Meituan has two entrepreneurial experiences, has accumulated rich experience, and has certain connections in the industry, so you must not underestimate it." ”
Zhou Hongyi said seriously: "I won't despise any opponent now, and of course I don't have this qualification." ”
Liu Yun touched the watch on his wrist, thought for a while, and decided to release a bomb first: "To be honest, Wang Xin asked me for financing not long ago, but I have been hesitating. ”
He said half-truths, but it was difficult to find flaws.
Wang Xin did find Liu Yun, although Liu Yun did not consider investing in him, but he did not explicitly refuse, just blindly remained silent and did not reply. So he said that he was hesitating, but he was also able to lie.
Liu Yun wanted to give Zhou Hongyi a sense of urgency.
"I met you today. Liu Yun picked up the cup and gently squeezed it, "Then between the two of you, I decided to choose you." So ......"
He glanced at Lei Jun and said with a smile: "You have to thank Mr. Lei for pulling you to see me." ”
After Zhou Hongyi heard this, he was in a trance.
There is such a coincidence in this world, or God is really taking care of him this time. So it is possible that my own entrepreneurship this time will really succeed......
He showed a look of emotion and said excitedly: "Thank you so much for Mr. Liu's trust." I will not let you down with this investment. ”
Although Zhou Hongyi was more than ten years older than Liu Yun, he was emotionally moved and said the word "you" very politely.
Lei Jun suddenly interjected and said happily: "Old Zhou, don't forget! You have to thank me too." ”
Zhou Hongyi rolled his eyes, but said, "Don't come to this set, you guy just want to see me look foreign." ”
Liu Yun saw that these two old guys were going to get away, so he pulled the topic back again: "I'll reveal another piece of news." Mr. Zhou, your old rival Baidu will also immediately launch an outside service, called 'Baidu Takeaway'. ”
Zhou Hongyi was stunned, and muttered to himself: "Why is it Baidu again." ”
Immediately, he smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Liu, you have lifted me." How can I be qualified to be Baidu's opponent now?"
Liu Yun waved his hand and replied, "Are you qualified to be an opponent?" Baidu, like your 360, is failing in the e-commerce market, so it needs to find a new investment direction. I think that although Baidu is not good at e-commerce, it does not mean that it is not good at food delivery services. So you have to pay more attention, first Meituan, and then Baidu Takeaway. ”
Liu Yun suddenly discovered that this world can be really wonderful sometimes.
Zhou Hongyi and Li Yanhong, old enemies who have not liked each other since the first year of the Internet, have set their sights on the takeaway service market when they returned home in the e-commerce market.
Liu Yun knows that in another time and space, Baidu takeaway is quite successful, and once occupied a lot of market share in northern China, but the final outcome was acquired by Ele.me.
Does this mean that this pair of old enemies does not have many e-commerce genes, but in terms of takeaway services, do they have some hidden talents in it?
Baidu takeaway can be successful, and 360 takeaway may be the same.
"Lao Zhou, the level of support I can give you is unprecedented. Liu Yun began to talk eloquently, "The omni-channel of the mobile terminal, such as the third-party service program of Youxin, now with Tmall and Jingdong.com, your 360 takeaway is the third." There are also YOYO series of smart phones, as well as OPPO, VIVO, when they are set up at the factory in the future, they will bring their own 360 takeaways. ”
After Zhou Hongyi heard this, his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Liu Yun continued to put candy, he glanced at Rebus, and continued: "I will persuade Mr. Lei to bring your APP to the factory settings of Xiaomi mobile phones." ”
"Hey!" Lei Jun shouted helplessly, "Mr. Liu, you didn't consult with me, without my consent." ”
Liu Yun smiled: "Can you still refuse?"
Rebus looked at Liu Yun, and then at Zhou Hongyi, who was staring at him with wide eyes, and smiled: "This idea is not bad, better serve consumers and provide convenience." ”
Liu Yun turned his head and looked at Zhou Hongyi with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, I have given all the help I can provide, under so many unique conditions, you should have no reason to fail again." ”
Inadvertently, he naturally provoked him again.
Zhou Hongyi took a deep breath and nodded very seriously.
He didn't realize that Liu Yun had already removed Ele.me from the strike circle in just a few words.
With his current class, he is willing to support those young companies with entrepreneurial dreams and potential, rather than blindly stifling.
......
After Liu Yun left the third phase of the International Trade Center, he said goodbye to Lei Jun and Zhou Hongyi one after another, and returned to Shanghai by plane, and specially met his cousin Liu Yueru.
Just a 360 takeaway was far from satisfying his appetite, and he wanted more.
After Liu Yun saw Liu Yueru, he said directly: "In the Shanghai market, there is a 'Eleme' company, which is not large, but I am optimistic about its potential. You go and collect information about this company, and then raise money under the name of 'Yunyue Investment'. ”
Liu Yueru replied: "Are you hungry? I used it at a university in Shanghai not long ago, and it was not bad. But it's just a small website for online ordering and delivery, so why do you want to finance this company?"
Liu Yun said with a smile: "That's just the scope of colleges and universities in Shanghai, and now it will expand to the whole country one day, will it still be a small company?"
"This ...... How is that possible?"
"In the era of mobile Internet, nothing is impossible. ”
"Okay, I'll try it, is it inevitable?"
"It's inevitable!"
Liu Yun is ready to kill Meituan by injecting 360 capital first, and then raise funds for Ele.me.
Because he wants to ...... them all
