Chapter 88: A Respectable Opponent
Zhang Xuhao was actually in the capital during this time.
He was born into a rich family, and his ancestors were said to be famous tycoons in the old Shencheng before the founding of the People's Republic of China. His father is an old man, so he has been very fond of him since he was a child, and he has already bought a family business for him, and he is destined to have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.
To sum up, it is the kind of guy who "if you don't start a business well, you can only go back and be a pampered rich second generation".
But he still has a bit of restless genes in his bones.
Hungry made his fortune from Shencheng, and at that time he was still a graduate student at Shencheng Jiaotong University, similar to Lin Yi and them, and several classmates saved together.
In March of 11 years, he got a round A financing of $1 million, and then set up branches in Beijing and Lin'an City in the middle of that year.
I chose Lin'an because it is close to Shencheng and easy to manage.
I chose the capital because it is important and a place to fight.
Of course, Eleme has continued to expand to Yangcheng and Jinmen, and after getting the $3 million B round at the beginning of this year, the three branches of Gusu, Bingcheng and Rongcheng are also in full swing and will open soon.
But no matter where he intends to march, the capital is of course the top priority that must not be lost.
In December, his investor, Mr. Zhu, called to say that a friend had spotted his competitor at a startup competition.
He immediately rushed over to check it out, but at that time, Eleme was at a critical juncture in Series B financing, so he couldn't take out too much energy and resources for the time being.
After the end of this year, he did not hesitate to launch the "Battle of Beijing", ready to completely crush the little praying mantis in front of his car in one go, for which he himself rushed here to sit down.
He was well aware of the small frictions that had occurred under the Hungry and Casual Takeaway networks during this time, but he didn't care at all, thinking that this was a manifestation of his subordinates' determination to forge ahead.
Zhang Xuhao likes to take his subordinates to boxing, and he most appreciates the kind of character with a strong style, a big heart, and a fierce personality.
When Manager Zhang received a call from the ground push saying that he was with the people who followed the outside network into the hospital, he was by his side, but he didn't plan to come forward at first, so he sent Manager Zhang over to clean up the situation.
Obviously, the facts are completely different from the situation reported by the local push at the beginning, Manager Zhang had no choice but to call him for instructions after Lin Yi and Li Moyan ran into a wall.
Zhang Xuhao had already realized that this matter might not be so easy, so he decided to come in person.
He did give advice to let Manager Zhang delay the time, don't let the situation deteriorate further, just now Manager Zhang put out a wave of cruel words to try to deceive Lin Yi and Li Moyan in order to save his unfavorable image.
However, Lin Yi didn't eat his set.
There was nothing to say to this next, they waited patiently in the hospital, and finally met the kind-looking but actually fierce Boss Zhang.
After he appeared, he didn't care about his subordinate Manager Zhang, and directly skipped Li Moyan and walked towards Lin Yi, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand and ask:
"Presumably this is Boss Lin, right? I'm Zhang Xuhao. ”
The information that Liu Jianni conveyed to them last year at least included that this was a three-person entrepreneurial team headed by Lin Yi, and he showed that he had a special understanding of the casual takeaway network.
At this time, there was no need to pretend to be garlic, Lin Yi also stretched out his hand and shook it with him.
The strength in this hand is not small, and of course it is not deliberately bad, and the two sides have completed the first contact amicably.
"It's good to call me Lin Yi."
Zhang Xuhao is not so casual, they are not friends.
"My name is Mr. Lin, I already know the ins and outs of the whole thing on the way here, presumably Manager Zhang also conveyed my handling opinions to you just now, it seems that you still have objections?"
Lin Yi followed his call and said: "Mr. Zhang, we can't agree with your opinion, we think that Eleme Company has an unshirkable responsibility in this matter." ”
"If you are not willing to bear it, then we will leave it to the law to judge."
Zhang Xuhao resolutely denied: "These are just the personal behaviors of employees, the company has never given them such an order, even if they report it, they will only be held personally responsible, which cannot threaten us." ”
"It doesn't matter if there is an order from the company or not, but they are always employees of your company, aren't they? What they're doing today is in your company's interest, right? Mr. Zhang thinks that he can pick up the hunger in these three or two sentences? ”
Zhang Xuhao was unmoved: "What they did has seriously violated the company's rules and regulations, and from now on they are no longer employees of Eleme Company, which is our most sincere explanation of this matter." ”
Lin Yi shook his head: "Mr. Zhang, we said at the beginning that we don't care about how your company handles internal affairs. ”
"I want to remind Mr. Zhang that we have a complete surveillance video of the whole thing in our hands, if we post it on the Internet, do you think netizens will recognize the sincerity you just said?"
These words made Zhang Xuhao silent for a while, and Manager Zhang next to him glanced at him a little nervously, and if it went to the Internet, the impact would be difficult to control.
Soon Zhang Xuhao's eyes regained firmness, this time his speech slowed down, slightly less aggressive, but the words he said did not show weakness.
"I'm hungry and I don't apologize."
Just when Manager Zhang thought that the negotiation had broken down, Zhang Xuhao Feng said in a roundabout way: "If Mr. Lin agrees, I am willing to apologize to several injured classmates for mismanagement in my own name." ”
"Of course, we are villains first and then gentlemen, I have words first, you are not allowed to take pictures or videos when apologizing."
He concluded: "The other conditions just mentioned are all the same. Mr. Lin, please believe me, this is the best solution for both of us. ”
This time, Lin Yi and Senior Sister exchanged glances, although Lin Yi is the major shareholder, Senior Sister is the direct party, and he respects Senior Sister's opinion.
Li Moyan's look was: let it go.
Lin Yi was authorized, and then said: "Mr. Zhang, I accept your proposal, but I still have a few points to add." ”
"First, during this period of time, there have been frequent small frictions between our front-line delivery personnel, and this time it is a direct conflict between the local pushes, if it is not restricted, such a thing will happen next time, I hope that Eleme can ensure that it manages its own employees."
"Second, although I know that Eleme's expansion speed is fast and the quality of employees is inevitably uneven, but I'm afraid it's not a blessing to be hungry in your team with goods like today, right?"
Lin Yi said that he didn't care about the other party's internal affairs, and finally mentioned it, this was to ensure the safety of his subordinates.
This time, Zhang Xuhao was very refreshing: "This kind of thing will never happen for the second time." ”
Everyone is negotiating on behalf of the companies of both sides, and after reaching an agreement, of course, it is not just a verbal approval, but must be complete.
Zhang Xuhao immediately instructed the hungry legal department to come over with a "settlement agreement" and sign it on the spot after confirming that it was correct for Lin Yi.
Lin Yi and their side are relatively shabby, and they don't even have a legal officer, so they can only look at it by themselves with Li Moyan, but fortunately, it is not a complicated legal document.
While waiting for the "Settlement Agreement", Zhang Xuhao stood in the corner and looked at Lin Yi from a distance and said:
"This is a respectable opponent."
Manager Zhang next to him asked: "Thanks to Mr. Zhang's personal appearance today, they were stopped from posting the video on the Internet, which saved the company's losses." ”
He lost a lot of points again today, and he originally wanted to make a sycophant, but Zhang Xuhao next to him glanced at him, thinking in his heart:
This stupid person can't be used, in such an important place as the capital, and now that there is an opponent like Lin Yi, who should be sent......
