February 21, 2005, Monday, the thirteenth day of the first lunar month.

Jiang Hui originally wanted to set off from home after the Lantern Festival, but in the past few days, there have been constant phone calls, all kinds of requests and reports, which annoyed Jiang Hui. Jiang Hui set off to Wuyang City on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month.

Guanghui Group now has a branch of Meituan in Wuyang, and there is Aofei Animation, so Jiang Hui wanted to take the opportunity to go to the company to have a look.

"Lao Zhou, send me the address of the Wuyang branch of Meituan, I happen to be in Wuyang, go over and have a look," Jiang Hui called Zhou Benqiang, general manager of Meituan.

It is a shame to say that the companies of the Guanghui Group have many branches in the country and abroad, but Jiang Hui has not yet visited them, and it is even more unclear where the company's specific address is.

"Dong Jiang, where are you now? I'll ask the manager of the branch to pick you up?", Zhou Benqiang said.

"No, I'll just drive over, don't be so troublesome," Jiang Hui said.

The big boss of the company suddenly went to the branch to inspect in person, and it was not possible for Zhou Benqiang not to be nervous. Zhou Benqiang himself is the person recommended by IDG, and he is not Jiang Hui's descendant, but his performance has always been good, so Jiang Hui made him the general manager of Meituan.

Hearing Jiang Hui say this, Zhou Benqiang had no choice but to say an address, but fortunately, Jiang Hui still has a certain understanding of Wuyang and probably knows where this address is.

In these years, navigation is not so popular, it is like Jiang Hui's rebirth, any mobile phone has navigation in it, and you don't have to worry about not finding it anywhere.

After Zhou Benqiang answered Jiang Hui's call, he immediately called the manager of Meituan's Wuyang branch to arrange relevant receptions.

On the thirteenth day of the first month, although everyone has come to work in the company, it is not necessary to say whether they have entered the working state.

After Lin Zhouheng of Meituan's Wuyang Branch received a call from Zhou Benqiang, he heard that the chairman of the company was going to conduct an inspection, and his first reaction was whether someone had made a small report to complain to the big boss. Wuyang Branch is so far away from the imperial capital, few headquarters leaders come to inspect, Lin Zhouheng is also a bit of a feudal official as a manager here, coupled with the good treatment of Meituan, he doesn't want to lose this job.

"Mr. Zhou, don't worry, I will arrange this reception", Lin Zhouheng could only say to Zhou Benqiang.

Fortunately, Jiang Hui had asked the secretary to contact the personnel of the Wuyang branch of Meituan to help pick up Jiang Ping, and Lin Zhouheng was barely a person who had served the chairman.

As soon as Jiang Hui parked the car, Lin Zhouheng and the others came over quickly. It seems that they have arranged for someone to watch downstairs and confirm whether Jiang Hui has arrived at any time. After all, Jiang Hui drove the official car of the Wuyang branch of Meituan.com, which is easy to recognize.

"Jiang Dong, you are welcome to come to Wuyang Branch to inspect in your busy schedule", Lin Zhouheng said while holding Jiang Hui's hand.

Although Jiang Hui has not dealt with Lin Zhouheng many times, as the former general manager and current chairman of Meituan, Lin Zhouheng has come to the imperial capital many times, and Jiang Hui still has some impressions of him.

"Everyone has worked hard, let's go upstairs and talk," Jiang Hui said.

"Okay, Jiang Dong, please here. Our office is on the seventh floor of the office building, and we currently have 22 employees," Lin Zhouheng said as he walked.

The office area is not large, after all, there are only more than 20 people. Jiang Hui took a turn in the office area, and then came to the conference room under the leadership of Lin Zhouheng.

"Jiang Dong, then let me report to you about the situation of the branch next?", Lin Zhouheng said.

"Okay, you can start," Jiang Hui said.

"Since the establishment of Wuyang branch last year, under the guidance of leaders at all levels of the head office, it has now developed more than 35,000 businesses such as food, hairdressing, entertainment, etc., and these merchants have brought an average of more than 2 million turnover ...... to the company every day", Lin Zhou Heng spent more than ten minutes to introduce the situation of Wuyang branch.

"How many group buying websites are there in Wuyang now?", Jiang Hui asked.

Since Meituan's popularity across the country, it has attracted the attention and follow-up of many capitals. Although it is not as tragic as the Thousand Group War in later generations, Meituan can no longer eat alone. It is estimated that after Meituan goes on the market, there will be a more tragic struggle.

The reason why there are so many group buying websites in the later Celestial Empire is because it was stimulated by Groupon, the veteran of group buying websites. It's such a simple website, with a market value of more than 10 billion US dollars, and the Internet elites of the Celestial Empire are not crazy.

"There are currently three well-known group buying websites registered in Wuyang. If you basically go to other group buying websites in China, there are about seven or eight users in Wuyang area. However, Meituan alone has an 80% market share, and other companies are imitating Meituan's operating model, which is not yet the climate," Lin said.

"Although they are not yet in the climate, you should not take it lightly. The threshold of group buying websites is not as high as you think, as long as there is capital to burn money, the number of users will soon come up. In the face of discounts, the loyalty of Celestial Empire consumers is very low," Jiang Hui said.

"Okay Jiang Dong, we will pay close attention to the changes in the market environment and report to the head office at any time," Lin Zhouheng said.

"How is the current expansion of Wuyang Branch in the surrounding provinces?" Jiang Hui asked.

"Half of our people are currently developing markets in neighboring provinces, but at present, in terms of turnover, Wuyang local accounts for nearly half of the market share, and we still need to continue to work hard," Lin Zhouheng said.

After Jiang Hui asked a few more questions, this trip to the Wuyang branch of Meituan was almost over.

Guanghui Group now has more than a dozen companies under its umbrella, and Meituan is the first company that Jiang Hui wants to go public. On the one hand, the development space of group buying websites is relatively limited, and Jiang Hui is not so optimistic about the future growth space of Meituan.com, just taking advantage of the Nasdaq Internet stocks to start to heat up and take them out to go public, cash out some funds to invest in other areas, and then buy back some shares if the price is right after the economic crisis. On the other hand, it can be regarded as a test of the listing of other companies to understand the operation process or something. After all, in the long run, companies such as Intranet, YY Live, Autohome, and Qunar will also go public sooner or later.

However, companies such as Glorious Games, Glorious Weibo, and Glorious Pay will have to be reconsidered if they are not listed.

After finishing the inspection of Meituan's Wuyang branch, Jiang Hui refused the dinner arranged by Lin Zhouheng and drove to the hotel by himself. Jiang Hui plans to continue to borrow this car in the next few days, and let them go directly to the airport and drive it back when the time comes.
