The comfortable mood lasted until two days later, and then in the mouth of Wu Mingming, who returned in a hurry, it became a little heavy. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the headquarters of Ele.me, the first board of directors and shareholders' meeting was held, and all employees were present.

There are not many people, but each of them is a representative of all parties, and the most important is the actual manager of the company or the holder of the shares.

The Ele.me management headed by Lu Heng, Xiao Jianguo and Wu Mingming are on one side.

Xu Xin of Today Capital and Ji Yue of Sequoia China sit together, and the two represent the investment institutions behind their respective countries.

The other person is Peng Lei of Alipay, who is wearing a red dress at the moment, looking down at the documents in her hand with a frown.

There are six people in total, not many, but each side is a well-known person in their respective fields.

These are the shareholders of the only and largest online food ordering company in China today.

If it is said that in terms of potential, Ele.me, which has been favored by the three parties, is undoubtedly already an abyss of potential and unfathomable.

It's just that with Wu Mingming's work report, most people's mood has become a little heavy.

"That's the case, based on reliable sources, as well as feedback from the HR and technical departments, that Baidu is developing an online ordering software similar to ours. This can be seen from the recent voluntary resignation of several backbone talents in the technical department, and the other party has begun to poach corners in order to seek talents in this area. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and several shareholders still didn't seem to react.

"Baidu, a company that makes a search engine, how could it think of cross-border to make food delivery software?" Xu Xin couldn't help asking, between his eyebrows, incredible.

Ji Yue didn't speak, his eyes were rolling slightly, and he also got similar news through some channels.

Peng Lei in the back was tangled in her fingers, her brows furrowed.

For pure investors like Xu Xin and Ji Yue, the emergence of competitors in Ele.me is just that the companies they invest in will face competition.

But for Alipay, which has cooperation with Ele.me, this means that the focus of the next work may be variable.

Wu Mingming looked around at everyone and said in a serious tone: "Don't underestimate Baidu's cross-border behavior! It seems to be a cross-border, but the other party's influence on the Chinese Internet is huge, and thousands of people are using Baidu search every day. Once they use Baidu in their hands to assist, then the promotion of Baidu's online ordering software will undoubtedly rise instantly, and it will appear in front of the public all of a sudden, attract enough customers, and complete the original user accumulation that we are most difficult to do at the beginning!"

Xiao Jianguo had just returned from Shanghai, and Wu Mingming's news was also learned for the first time at the meeting.

At this point, it still sounds like a bit of a turn.

"But Baidu has no experience in this area, so they entered the market in such a hurry?"

Wu Mingming glanced at Xiao Jianguo's words and sighed suddenly.

"Under the huge temptation of the market, especially with us as pioneers to make this market feasible, their entry is not so hasty. ”

Xiao Jianguo wondered: "We started from real takeaways little by little, accumulated a lot of experience in this area, and obtained enough data before we moved towards the road of online ordering." They don't go through this step and go straight in, which I always feel is unreliable. Obviously, are you sure your sources are true?"

Wu Mingming sneered, and said without doubt: "Whether the news is really true or not is debatable, but it is a fact that several backbone personnel in our company's technical department have resigned." In the past, I was in charge of the personnel part, and I immediately knew about their resignation. Do you think their resignation will be a matter of treatment?"

Xiao Jian's Chinese was stagnant and speechless.

The treatment that Ele.me gives to its employees, especially those in the area of technology research and development, is quite generously paid.

Even if you look at the country and even the world, it is at the top level.

This is also the plan proposed by Wu Mingming in order to ensure that his personnel are not poached and to keep elite talents as much as possible.

Wu Mingming sneered and said: "What can impress those people is by no means pure money, I know this in my heart." So in addition to money, it is nothing more than some temptation for technical talents. The so-called value of life, the so-called fame, and the so-called social status!"

Ji Yue on the side nodded and said approvingly: "Indeed, although Ele.me is now beautiful, it is still immature compared with Baidu, which has been famous for a long time. The other party is a large company, and looking at the world, it also belongs to the level of behemoths. Once the other party gives enough tempting conditions, for middle and senior talents, few people can block the offensive. ”

Since even Sequoia's Ji Yue said this, Xiao Jianguo could only frown and accept this fact.

The atmosphere in the room was a bit heavy, especially for Wu Mingming and them, they had finally come to this point, and a competitor suddenly appeared, and it was still a well-established opponent, which made them a little flustered.

"Huh!"

A chuckle sounded, and everyone couldn't help but put their eyes on Lu Heng, who had not said a word before.

"They're in R&D now, aren't they?"

Wu Mingming nodded and looked at Lu Heng with hopeful eyes, "Yes, now is indeed the software research and development period, otherwise we will not poach in the industry to seek technical talents in this area." However, with Baidu's technology accumulation, it is estimated that this R&D cycle is much faster than ours at that time. What do you think, Director?"

Lu Heng nodded noncommittally, his fingers tapping on the table, slowly and rhythmically.

"The advent of Baidu's online ordering software is already a predictable thing, rather than worrying about the inevitable competition in the future, it is better to think about what kind of competition will be in the future, and how we should gain an advantage from the competition. ”

When Lu Heng said this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Yes, instead of worrying, you might as well be prepared.

Otherwise, can it still make small means stillborn Baidu's plan?

Lu Heng said lightly: "I believe everyone has realized the potential and profit of the takeaway market, and it is far from being something that we can completely swallow if we are hungry." In fact, this truth is obvious, any industry market will not achieve a monopoly position, especially in China, there will always be people who eat meat and drink soup. ”

After looking at the thoughtful crowd, Lu Heng pursed his lips and smiled.

"Let's put it this way, I expected the emergence of the rival of Baidu online food ordering. Even before that, I had invested in a Chongqing college student entrepreneurship plan, and they also did online food ordering business, but they were more specialized in one aspect. ”

Hearing Lu Heng say this, Xiao Jianguo's eyes couldn't help but widen.

Looking at Lu Heng incredulously, he stammered and asked, "Chongqing college students' business plan? right under our noses?

A series of questions showed Xiao Jianguo's surprise at this time.

I believe that other people also think the same way at this time, and they are puzzled and curious about Lu Heng's actions.
