Chapter 081: Are You Hungry for Acquisition?
However, only third-party payment is useless, because payment software must rely on large-scale e-commerce platforms to develop, for example, Alipay must rely on Taobao to develop.
Without Taobao, Alipay would not have developed to the point of future generations anyway.
Creating an e-commerce platform is a challenge.
Tang Xiang shook his head, this is a matter for later, it is very troublesome to communicate with the bank and establish a channel by himself, and now he only needs to acquire an existing third-party payment company.
After class, Tang Xiang looked at the date on his mobile phone, so as not to miss any major events.
It's May 30, 2009.
"On May 30th, there are still four days before Fanno.com will go out of business because users collectively commemorate an indescribable event, which means that I should almost go to him. ”
"But before that, let's go to the hungry students. ”
The top priority is to control Eleme in your own hands, now Eleme is in the seedling stage is easier to control, if it is a little later, I am afraid it will be difficult.
......
Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
At this time, Wang Xuhao and Kang Qiang, the founders of Eleme, were reporting their entrepreneurship to Tang Xiang.
"Manager Tang, you see, this is our web-based ordering platform. Wang Xuhao opened a website for Tang Xiang to browse.
Tang Xiang glanced at it roughly: it's a very old interface.
However, the old-fashioned interface is not Wang Xuhao's pot, and the current website interface is generally a miserable style, with no beauty at all.
This is also the biggest trouble Tang Xiang encountered after his rebirth, he is used to the exquisite interface and convenient functions of the later generations of APP, and then the website in 2009 is really not eye-catching.
Wang Xuhao continued: "...... We have now integrated a food ordering platform near the campus, and restaurants near the school can accept our orders through the website, which saves a lot of hassle......"
After his introduction, Tang Xiang asked a few questions: "How popular is this food ordering platform in your school?"
Wang Xuhao replied: "Thirty percent of teachers and students have used our platform, and the average daily order volume is about 100 orders. ”
"What's next for you?"
"In the future, we plan to expand this platform to all other schools in Shanghai, and then to the whole of Shanghai, if the ultimate goal is to become a national food ordering platform. ”
"Are the delivery people all the restaurant's own now?"
"Yes, but we're going to set up a dedicated delivery team for Ele.me. ”
Tang Xiang nodded, after Wang Xuhao's introduction, he had roughly understood the current situation of Hungry, which was completely in the early stage of entrepreneurship and conception, and there were almost no ideas that were put into practice.
But it doesn't matter, as long as he can be sure that the general direction is the same as the Ele.me before he was reborn, then he can rest assured and invest.
Tang Xiang left the computer desk and slowly walked to the sofa and sat down.
Wang Xuhao and Kang Qiang glanced at each other, they were a little confused about Tang Xiang's thoughts, after all, they had not heard a direct comment from Tang Xiang so far.
That's a bit square!
Kang Qiang glanced at Wang Xuhao and asked him to make tea, this kind of big guy must be served.
"Manager Tang, I didn't expect you to really come. Wang Xuhao handed the tea to Tang Xiang with a smile on his face.
Now that Wang Xuhao has just launched the Eleme ordering website, and he is in short supply of funds, he tentatively contacted Tang Xiang, but Tang Xiang rushed over in less than two days.
Wang Xuhao doesn't know what his platform can develop in the future, he only knows that the current Hungry is just a platform that no one cares about out of school.
This kind of embryonic stage can attract the investment of the big guys, which will undoubtedly surprise him, as if grasping a life-saving straw.
Kang Qiang also echoed with a smile: "Yes, with you, we don't have to worry about funds." ”
Tang Xiang took a sip of tea: "How much money do you have on hand now, and what is the future direction of development?"
Wang Xuhao replied: "Now that the company has not been officially registered, I plan to invest 1.5 million yuan, and Kang Qiang intends to invest 1.8 million yuan, which are the continuation of our previous operation of Chenguang Company." ”
"Two million two hundred thousand?" Tang Xiang raised his eyebrows: "That's a lot, what is your estimated start-up capital?"
Wang Xuhao said a little embarrassed: "Manager Tang won't hide it from you, in fact, 2.2 million yuan is at most a fraction of the start-up capital, because our platform construction has always been done by hiring seniors." ”
"However, if we want to develop a client-side application, we have to invest a lot more money, and we have to build a system for food delivery people......
Speaking of this, even Wang Xuhao's voice was full of hesitation, although he had information about his ideas, but it was too difficult to realize.
How can a venture capital company invest in their small platform, which has not even been officially established?
Tang Xiang quietly listened to the analysis and asked: "So how much start-up capital you expect, don't doubt yourself, and say generously." ”
Wang Xuhao pursed his lips and said, "What we hope for is a total of 18.4 million." ”
After finishing speaking, he hurriedly added: "But Manager Tang, you don't need to invest so much, if we don't do food delivery business in the early stage, it will be less than 10 million." ”
He seemed to be afraid that Tang Xiang would be scared away by such a large number, so he added another sentence.
Tang Xiang smiled and shook his head: "There's no need." ”
Wang Xuhao was stunned for a moment, thinking that Tang Xiang was going to give up investing and was hungry, and wanted to open his mouth to persuade Tang Xiang.
However, before he could say all the prepared words, Tang Xiang stretched out two fingers: "I can make up the start-up capital to 20 million for you." ”
"Twenty million!"
Kang Qiang swallowed his saliva and asked, "Are you serious?"
Tang Xiang shrugged: "Of course." ”
Wang Xuhao couldn't help but slap his hands with Kang Qiang when he heard this, and now their entrepreneurial dream was over.
Tang Xiang put down the teacup: "Since it has been determined, then we will quickly complete the company, you will invest a total of 2.2 million, and I will invest 17.8 million." ”
"After the company is established, I will transfer the financial and legal personnel of other companies under my name to station, and the management rights of the company will still remain in your hands, what do you think?"
Wang Xuhao understands that most of such a company is Tang Xiang's, but he has no opinion on this, after all, without Tang Xiang, even if they waste their strength to eat milk, they will not be able to gather 20 million.
Even if it can be made up, it will be a matter of the Year of the Monkey, which will greatly affect the company's layout, and even if it is stillborn, it will be too late to increase its holdings in the future.
Therefore, both of them agreed to Tang Xiang's plan.
Seeing that the matter of being hungry was easily solved, Tang Xiang smiled and said: "There is another thing I want to tell you, after the company is established, I plan to combine the ordering platform with third-party payment." ”
"Third-party payment?" Wang Xuhao was stunned.
