Chapter 823: Assessment Results
If there are any places where the decoration of the Ele.me headquarters is completely different from the industrial style of white walls and black bricks, there should only be the one that is both a conference room and a VIP room. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The office utensils of big brands and the brilliant design style are different from the outside.
At the beginning, it was decorated to retain a trace of luxury in the steady and down-to-earth corporate style, and it was also a sign of respect for distinguished guests.
It's just that in the past two days, this conference room has been completely occupied by the strangers brought by Lu Heng, and other Ele.me employees can only hold a meeting in a small office area.
That's not all, after that group of people came, under the signal of the two CEOs, almost all departments such as the finance department, the software department, the marketing department, etc., had to cooperate with them and constantly submit the documents they needed.
Occasionally, the leader of that group would ask about some sensitive topic about the company's operations, and these Ele.me employees would try their best to cooperate.
After coming and going, the low-level employees feel that the secrets of their companies have been hollowed out.
Of course, such as product manager Wang Jun and chief engineer Xue Caiming, the middle-level of Ele.me have learned different information, they are all used to seeing the battle of corporate financing and acquisition, and they know what these actions mean, but they have some expectations in their hearts.
Xue Caiming looked at the group of people in the conference room with burning eyes, and said happily to Wang Jun next to him: "Wang Jun, this time Mr. Xiao and they can be regarded as having found an investor, and I believe that we will be able to get a big investment in the near future." When the time comes, you will not be short of money to promote the product, what a joy!"
Wang Jun hugged him and sneered: "You can get the investment, but if it's not a big investment, it's not necessarily." As for whether I'm happy or not, I don't have any expectations until the final result comes down. ”
Xue Caiming was stunned for a moment, then remembered something, and said to Wang Jun unhappily: "Don't be so strong in your heart when you resist, Mr. Xiao's investment is not necessarily worse than what you are looking for, in case the other party is also very powerful." You see, it's rare for them to be so dedicated when they do the appraisal survey, which shows that the other party also attaches great importance to this investment. ”
After listening to Xue Caiming's words, Wang Jun was a little silent.
After a while, he sighed and said: "Lao Xue, you are in technology, I am in marketing, and I can't stand together from the perspective of looking at things." I'll explain it to you!"
Xue Caiming blinked his eyes, but he wanted to know what his friend who had known him for many years had to say.
Wang Jun said faintly: "You can do the technology and bury your head in it, but I can't, there are only two things for marketing, money and people." People can be recruited through money, but money is different, not only to be more, but also to be stable enough. Why do you think I would try my best to recommend those investors I found to Mr. Xiao and Mr. Wu? For the sake of other people's much-discussed kickbacks? That's too underestimating me!"
Halfway through speaking, Wang Jun glanced at Xue Caiming.
Xue Caiming smiled, he was also one of the "others", and many people inside and outside the company speculated that Wang Jun was coming.
Wang Jun knew in his heart and refuted himself: "I am not that kind of person, I was not before, I am not now, and I will never be in the future, this is my professional ethics as a product manager!"
"Forget it, the topic has been distorted by me, and it's useless for me to explain it to you, and I guess others won't believe it. Back to the topic, I need to have stable enough funds, which means that when there is a shortage of money in the future, investors will still unswervingly continue to support Ele.me and invest money again. For example, the investors I found were all reputable and promised me that they would continue to invest. However, the people they found from Mr. Xiao and Mr. Wu may not have this kind of courage. ”
"If you don't have the resources when you need their help, and you end up in the situation again, that's not what I want to see. Now Ele.me is at the peak of its development, extremely short of money, and if we do this kind of toss again, there may be strong competitors who will squeeze our market resources.......!
Xue Caiming patted Wang Jun on the shoulder and interrupted him.
Wang Jun looked at him unhappily, but found that he was making a look at himself.
Wang Jun looked over, only to find that the person in charge of the group of investigation teams, a man named Qin Xinkun, came over.
Wang Jun put away his mood, walked over, and greeted the other party with a smile.
Qin Xinkun smiled and dealt with it, "Lu Dong, they have arrived, I'll pick them up!"
Wang Jun was a little stunned, he didn't stay in the company much, and most of the time he ran outside, so he didn't know much about this financing, and he hadn't even seen the boss of the investor.
The same is true for Xue Caiming, who is obsessed with the software department, if it weren't for the fact that there might be a result today, he might not have rushed over in person.
However, as an employee of Ele.me, he still has to show his demeanor, and he followed Qin Xinkun to greet the "Lu Dong" in his mouth.
It's just that when he saw the three people talking and laughing, Wang Jun was stunned again.
It's just that he still has some impressions of this young man, and even said that he was able to come to Ele.me in the first place.
If he hadn't introduced Xue Caiming to Xiao Jianguo, then Xue Caiming would not have introduced himself to Xiao Jianguo.
And when they left Beijing, it was this young man who personally dropped them off at the airport.
In his memory, this young man surnamed Lu had a good relationship with Mr. Xiao, and seemed to be a brother from the dormitory.
But seeing this posture, combined with Qin Xinkun's sentence "Lu Dong" just now, Wang Jun had an incredible thought in his heart.
Seeing the two of them standing next to Qin Xinkun, Lu Heng laughed, "Master Xue, Wang Jun, you two are also here!"
Wang Jun hesitantly looked at Xiao Jianguo and Wu Mingming, who were on both sides of Lu Heng, and asked hesitantly, "Lu... Sir, what are you ....... Come and invest?"
Lu Heng hummed, and then walked past him with someone.
Only Wang Jun was left standing behind, in a trance, and there was a subtle feeling in his heart.
It wasn't until Xue Caiming patted him that he woke up and hurriedly asked Xue Caiming, "Did he just say that he came to invest?"
Xue Caiming shrugged, "Isn't that it, with the relationship between Mr. Lu and Mr. Xiao, you don't have to worry about whether the other party will fully support us! ”
Wang Jun's lips squirmed, and he couldn't say anything for a while.
In the palatial conference room, Qin Xinkun immediately began to talk about the results of their work during this period after Lu Heng came in, regardless of the presence of Xiao Jianguo and Wu Mingming.
After all, compared to the two Xue Wang outside, he knew very well that Lu Heng had long been the largest shareholder of Ele.me, so naturally he didn't have to care about Xiao Jianguo and Wu Mingming's presence.
"As the only online food ordering platform on the market, Ele.me has huge potential, which is difficult to accurately assess. However, we can get accurate market value assessment information from his market share. Founded one year ago, it currently occupies the three major cities of Chongqing, Chengdu and Changsha, and has opened up the channels of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, as long as you have sufficient funds, you can enter these markets........"
"Although the profitability is good, the labor cost is a big problem, and I asked many managers in the HR department and the administration department, and they don't have a better solution at the moment. If this problem is not solved, sustainable profitability will form a tail trend after it is rolled out in outlets across the country. This labor cost does not come from the office clerical staff at the branch and headquarters, but from the delivery staff......."
"Considering the follow-up nature of the catering industry, if Ele.me does it on a slightly larger scale, there may be strong competitors, and even giants will enter the market. As a result, the assessed market value will drop somewhat. ”
.........
Lu Heng knocked on the table, looked around at the people present, and asked slowly.
"So, what is the market value that you came up with?"
