These two turned out to be the founders of the most well-known food delivery platform "Eleme" in later generations!

Ele.me is a food delivery platform founded by Wang Xuhao and Kang Qiang when they were studying in Shanghai, and it started as a website, but it has developed very rapidly.

In the following ten years, Ele.me became a super unicorn, and by 2018, the daily transaction volume had exceeded 200 million yuan, accounting for 50% of the market share of the entire food delivery industry.

In other words, in the huge takeaway market in China, Ele.me has divided a full half.

However, in April 2018, Alibaba and Ant Financial wholly acquired "Ele.me" with a huge amount of 60 billion yuan.

At the same time, Wang Xuhao resigned as general manager as chairman, and the new general manager position was held by the vice president of Alibaba.

Now Tang Xiang has long since thrown the matter of the plant extraction company out of the clouds.

Because compared to "Eleme", not to mention the plant extraction company in front of you, even the silver mine treasure bit is just a fart.

This is China's super unicorn in the future, one of the two giants in the food delivery industry, with a valuation of more than 10 billion US dollars!

In the previous life, Ali spent 60 billion to receive Ele.me under his banner, and now Ele.me is actually in front of him, and the most important thing is that it is just a seed.

If he can control this company from the beginning, then even if it goes public in the future, Tang Xiang is confident that he will always control it in his own hands.

How could he miss this kind of big opportunity, after all, controlling Ele.me is controlling half of China's food delivery industry in the future!

Tang Xiang pressed the excitement in his heart and asked in a calm tone like a big man: "When do you plan to build a platform?"

Wang Xuhao replied: "We are contacting the seniors of the soft institute of Jiaotong University, and it should be launched in April and May this year. ”

Tang Xiang nodded, the current timeline coincides, and no abnormalities have occurred.

"You will definitely encounter a lot of difficulties in terms of funds when you start a business, and when the platform is officially established, you can consider cooperating with me. ”

After speaking, Tang Xiang motioned to Zhang Lili to hand his business card to Wang Xuhao.

Tang Xiang doesn't plan to hire them as employees now, this kind of character may not be able to do great things under others, and it is not too late for the two to make a name for themselves before they cooperate.

"Thank you Manager Tang, thank you so much!" Wang Xuhao hurriedly took it with both hands.

In fact, he is much more excited than Tang Xiang now.

After all, the big guy was just a rookie before he really became a big guy, and in their eyes, the current Tang Xiang is the real big guy and their nobleman.

This is really lucky, I didn't expect to be appreciated by this kind of character before I started my business, Wang Xuhao felt that he should kowtow to Nantianmen three times.

Because of the problem of the takeaway platform, Tang Xiang and the two of them began to chat slowly and warmly.

Originally, Wang Xuhao and Kang Qiang thought that Tang Xiang was a rich second generation with money and nowhere to spend, but after chatting in depth, they found that this rich second generation was definitely not an ordinary person.

Tang Xiang's prediction and insight into the future takeaway market were far beyond their imagination, and the two of them were stunned when they heard it, it was obviously a prediction, but it sounded like it would really happen.

However, Tang Xiang actually just complained to them about the bad experience when ordering food on the takeaway platform.

These complaints are just a large number of bad reviews under the app store APP in the future, but they are precious user experience in the present, and they can be obtained without testing.

So the two founders listened to Tang Xiang complain about their future products, and at the same time honestly took a notebook and wrote it down, with a very respectful attitude.

“...... In fact, you can consider the issue of delayed compensation, which is likely to become a pioneer in the food delivery industry. Tang Xiang put forward some of the situations that appeared in the later generations to the two of them in the form of suggestions.

Wang Xuhao was puzzled: "I understand your other suggestions, but I think this will cause a big loss, right?"

"Forget it, you will naturally understand the benefits of delayed compensation in the future. Tang Xiang waved his hand.

Obviously, the delay payment of food delivery in the future is the first idea that these two guys came up with, and the time is about 2010, why is this only more than a year in advance, and the brain has not yet been enlightened?

Although the current two of them are quick in thinking, dare to think and dare to do, they still feel that Tang Xiang is still a little budding, and they don't have the powerful aura of pointing out the country on the news.

Maybe these bigwigs are also exploring and slowly improving.

"Half of the takeaway markets are already ......," Tang Xiang thought for a moment as the two took notes, which meant that there was no news from the other half of the takeaway markets.

Because the remaining half is in Meituan.

Tang Xiang felt that since he wanted to control it, he should control 100% of the takeaway market, and only by being in place once could he avoid future troubles.

It's just that in later generations, there was a fierce competition between the two companies, and Ali and Meituan used to have a close relationship, but later due to some changes, the relationship broke down, and Ali turned his attention to Ele.me.

By the time China's two largest food delivery platforms became industry giants, no company or institution had the ability to bring both under their umbrella.

Even Ali would not dare to make such an attempt.

Therefore, the takeaway market in later generations presented a situation where two tigers fought each other and did not back down from each other.

"If you want to monopolize the food delivery market, you should put them in a cage when they are still tiger cubs. Tang Xiang thought to himself.

At this time, Tang Xiang already had a long-term strategic idea, and when Ele.me and Meituan had just grown up, he immediately used funds and means to integrate them together, and gradually grew into an unprecedented "leading monster" in the food delivery industry.

It's like Ali is to e-commerce.

"Manager Tang, what are you thinking?" Wang Xuhao's voice pulled Tang Xiang's thoughts back.

"Nothing. Tang Xiang came back to his senses, and it was a little early to think about it, because Sun Xing, the founder of Meituan, was still running his Fanfu network.

Fanfu.com has nothing to do with takeaway, but is a blog-type social platform, known as the originator of Weibo.

However, it will be less than half a year before the network will be 404 Not Found.

That period of time happened to be Sun Xing's most difficult days, and it was not too late for him to go to the "Divine Soldiers Descending from the Sky" to pull a hand, and sending charcoal in the snow could often get twice the result with half the effort.

"Tell me about the current situation of the plant extraction industry in the province and the operation of the company. Tang Xiang brought the topic back to the present.

Wang Xuhao introduced: "This year is the third year of Chenguang's establishment, and the net profit of 200,000 yuan in the first year is to remove equipment costs, but then suddenly encountered a price war with large manufacturers. ”

"Our price can't fight 4 and there are no ace products, barely breaking even, and many small companies in the same period have not even survived the first year. ”

Tang Xiang raised his eyebrows: "That means you still have a small number of customer channels?"

Wang Xuhao and Kang Qiang nodded: "Yes, we have notified the customer of the handover and your contact information." ”

Tang Xiang smiled: "That's easy to do." ”

Fighting a price war?

No matter how big the company is, it can only be killed by him in terms of price.
