Chapter 616: Hitting new highs
Meituan's first day of online trading closed at $33.26, an increase of 32%, with a market capitalization of $6.6 billion.
Meituan also took the opportunity to go public last year to raise $1.05 billion this time.
In the past six months since its listing, Meituan has continuously announced the progress of new investment projects with its financing funds.
Whether it is Meituan Dianping, which is similar to Dianping, or Daily Fresh, the relevant progress is constantly stimulating the rise of stock prices.
As of the day before the official launch of Daily Fresh, Meituan's stock price was $40.58, with a market value of more than $8 billion, up 22% from the closing price on the first day of listing.
In the case of a good stock market environment, Meituan's performance cannot be described as a standout or a bull stock, but it is better than the steady rise and fall of the stock price.
The news of the official launch of Daily Fresh and the feedback of users on Guanghui Weibo and other places quickly spread to the United States.
That night, it was morning in the United States, and as soon as the NASDAQ opened, Meituan's stock price soared to $43, up more than 6%, and its market value reached $8.5 billion.
In the days that followed, Celestial Empire users received rave reviews for Daily Fresh, and Meituan's stock price continued to hit new highs.
$44.
$45.
$46.
……
In the end, the stock price stabilized around $48, an increase of about 20% compared to the stock price before the daily fresh launch, and the market value was close to $10 billion.

"Mr. Zhou, our market value is about to exceed 10 billion US dollars, and the credit for daily fresh food is great," deputy general manager Wang Feng and Zhou Benqiang chatted and said.
"Sure enough, money can make money, we are engaged in the daily fresh food platform, but it has cost a lot of money, this is just the beginning, originally I was worried about the return, but now I don't have to worry about it."
"Judging from the changes in the stock price, shareholders recognize the daily fresh, and this platform is worth our investment."
"The important thing about the fact that Daily Fresh can have such a great influence is the credit of Meituan Express for the arrival of the order on the same day."
"That's right, daily fresh food + Meituan Express, the effect of this 1+1 is far greater than 2."
"The effect is good, but Meituan Express is too expensive, and now it has only been launched in a few first-tier cities, and it has already spent more than one billion."
"This is the main time to build a storage center in the early stage and buy transportation vehicles more expensive, and it will not expand so much later."
"Well, you still have to spend the money you have to spend."

A certain treasure network.
"Mr. Ma, the market value of Meituan is about to rush to 10 billion US dollars, which is all due to Meituan Express and Daily Fresh."
"I really didn't expect Meituan to be able to enter the online shopping market from this angle."
"How about you say we also have a self-built logistics?".
"We are just an online store platform, it makes little sense to engage in logistics by ourselves, and each store will be its own courier company in principle."
"That's right, I just watched Meituan's market value rise step by step, and I also want to learn from their successful experience."
"Every company takes a different path, blindly learning from others, this is not what we are pursuing."
"Understood, Mr. Ma, I understand what you mean."
……
Just when Meituan continued to dominate the headlines, Meituan Express and Guanghui Drone made another news, which made the vision of netizens who are a little aesthetically tired once again dominated by Meituan.
Shenzhen City, No. 3 Teaching Building of Shenzhen University.
At half past 11 o'clock in the morning, Wang Meng, who had just finished class, took out her Gphone and placed an order on the daily fresh food, thinking that there would be no classes in the afternoon, and she could eat fruit while watching movies in the dormitory.
At twelve o'clock at noon, Wang Meng was still eating lunch in the cafeteria when her mobile phone rang.
"Hello, this is Meituan Express, your express delivery is about to arrive, are you in the dormitory now?".
"The courier has arrived, I didn't buy anything a few days ago~ Wait a minute, you said you are Meituan Express?".
"Yes, the fruit you bought on Daily Fresh is about to arrive."
"So fast, I just placed an order~ You can call me again when you get downstairs in our dormitory, you don't have to wait so long for me."
"Within five minutes your delivery will be delivered to the balcony of your dorm, you don't need to wait downstairs".
"I'm a little confused by you, are you from Meituan Express?"
"You don't have to get dizzy, just go to the balcony and wait now, our Meituan Express uses drones to deliver this order to you, and the monitoring shows that it will take five minutes for the goods to be delivered to your dormitory balcony."
"I'll go, today is not April Fool's Day, don't tease me~ When is the courier so tall?".
"Other companies may not have them, but our Meituan Express is not an ordinary express delivery company."
……
Near Wang Meng's dormitory.
"Huh, look, what's that?", a couple looked up at the sky.
"It's like a drone, is this who is going to confess to which goddess?".
"You see how romantic people are, how can they be like you, so you bought a crystal ball and tricked people into bed."
"Hehe, we are in love, different from those rich second-generation gimmicks."
"You're right, huh? The drone seems to have flown into our dormitory."
"Really, slowly approaching your dorm balcony."
"Stopped on our balcony? What's the situation? A few girls in our dormitory have mastered it?
"It's a little wrong.,Why don't you see the hero appear.。
At this time, I saw Wang Meng passing by with small steps.
"Mengmeng, what are you doing so fast?", the girl in the couple said to Wang Meng.
"Ahh
"I also asked you, what are you doing so quickly after eating?"
"I dare to go back to the dormitory to receive the courier."
"Go back to the dormitory to pick up the courier? Our building doesn't allow boys to enter, and now the courier still has a woman? I don't think I've seen it."
"No, the courier didn't go up, but the courier has already arrived in our dormitory."
"Pull it down, it's hard to make it fly over on its own."
"You're right, it really flew over on its own."
"Huh, it can't be that drone just delivered to you, right?"
"You see?"
"I watched it fly in, I thought which handsome guy was going to confess to his sister."
"I won't tell you yet, I'm going back to pick up the courier."
……
Strictly speaking, at this time in 2007, it was difficult to popularize the use of drones to deliver express delivery, not to mention the cost, just how to accurately deliver is a big problem.
However, this does not prevent Meituan Express and Guanghui UAV from working together to make a few deliveries.
For example, Wang Meng's order, the address is clear and easy to find, and the sensational effect of drone delivery is good, so it is automatically screened out by the system as a template.
Like Wang Meng, this day was also carried out in Shanghai and Wuyang at the same time, and soon, this news was on the popular news of Guanghui Weibo, school intranet, daily headlines, etc.
It's not uncommon for dogs to bite people, but it's rare for people to bite dogs.
Drones send express delivery, in the Celestial Empire at this moment, but it is rarer than people biting dogs, so they have to catch the eye!
