Chapter 572: Hungry No
In fact, there have always been people doing regional take-out delivery business, such as the ordering group of a large commercial office building, or the ordering service operated by the network management in the street of an Internet café, which is a type of take-out delivery.
Compared with the group buying industry, which focuses on in-store consumption, the food delivery business focuses more on delivery and delivery speed.
The integration of resources in this area is better than the group buying business, and the technical content is not high.
You can unite with several surrounding hotels, leave the delivery service to you, connect with the surrounding office buildings, university towns, and then hire a delivery person to designate the store.
The rider delivers the meal, the consumer pays, and the complete transaction model is formed.
But this kind of business is very dependent on riders.
How is group buying done?
Negotiate with the merchant, put the goods or service information on the Internet, generate an SMS code after payment, and go to the store for verification, which basically does not rely on manual labor and is not difficult.
But if you don't have enough delivery staff, it will be difficult for you to continue to expand outward.
Even if you keep talking about merchants and get a large number of orders, it will be in vain if you can't deliver them.
People have three meals a day, which is basically the minimum standard, if the number of delivery staff can not keep up in time, it is not realistic to want to be bigger.
Therefore, if you want to start a takeaway business, the first thing you need to do is to make the delivery worker a serious profession with enough volume.
Only when there are enough deliverers will they have more ability to obtain orders.
But in this era, delivery staff is actually a part-time job, which is basically hired by merchants, and it is not a serious profession.
There are even some "people's entrepreneurs" who don't want to spend a penny more, so they try their best to let the kitchen apprentices work part-time as delivery workers, so that many apprentices have studied in a restaurant for two years, and they can't cook, but they remember the way to the thief.
Therefore, if you want to make the delivery business bigger, the recruitment of delivery personnel is a big key.
In 2011, the mobile Internet accelerated again.
Smartphone shipments in China exceeded 300 million.
The whole market is full of majestic vitality, which makes countless entrepreneurs excited.
But the 24-hour delivery of riders on the streets, like a boy in the wind, delivering hot meals to the dinner table, is almost equivalent to delusion.
How can there be so many people waiting on the side of the road on electric vehicles, just to deliver food to you.
This is the difficult problem that is pressing ahead of the road of development.
Zhang Xuhao, the founder of Hungry, was surfing the Internet in an Internet café and could only eat instant noodles for a long time, so he came up with the idea of doing a takeaway business.
By now, a delivery service has been established for three universities in the vicinity.
It is relatively easy to find a delivery person in college because students have a lot of free time in addition to attending classes.
But if you want to expand outward, you must hire social people as riders, and it is precisely because of this that you will not fall into a bottleneck period when you are hungry.
In fact, it is very simple to recruit a large number of riders, just throw money at it.
As long as enough is given, then there must be no shortage of people.
Therefore, if you are hungry, you don't need funds very much, and you can't survive at all, so you will send plans everywhere and want to find investment institutions.
But as Li Changming said, this project is very expensive at first glance, and most investors will hesitate.
Jiang Qin originally did distribution services in the experimental field of Linchuan, but until the group went to the whole country, this plate did not continue to be done.
Because he knows very well that if he wants to make him bigger, he has to burn too much money.
Even if the current profitability of the group is very strong, it will be daunting in the face of this amount.
What's more, how can you spend your own money in business!
Therefore, the best way is to wait for someone to ignite the fire, attract capital to the market, and everyone pooled money together to burn a prospect and make the market share increase rapidly.
And if you're hungry, in Jiang Qin's eyes, it's the igniter.
Before the fire burns, it is impossible for the group to be the first to finish.
Because...... The group is too strong in the field of life services, and if he ends up directly, many investment institutions will be daunted.
"Mr. Zhang, how is the matter with venture capital?"
"I've met a few, everyone is not very interested in being hungry, there are more people waiting and watching at the moment, wait a minute, there will be a result after the Spring Festival."
In a small area in Shanghai, seventeen people sat in a three-bedroom room.
This is the hungry start-up team.
Among these seventeen people, there are two newcomers, Chen Jiaxin and Zhang Zhang after resigning from Dianping.
After Dianping was scrapped by the group, although the business volume remained at a certain level, everyone knew that the future was already dark.
For those who are not ambitious, it is a good choice to be a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day.
If it's scrapped, it's scrapped, and the salary is still being paid anyway.
Compared with the fear of the Thousand Regiments War at the beginning, such days are very fragrant.
But for ambitious people, Volkswagen is no longer a platform where they can shine.
Chen Jiaxin and Zhang Xuhao met through the introduction of a friend, and she did not have the idea of being hungry at that time.
Because even if Volkswagen is not good, it is not comparable to such a small start-up company, people say that riding a mule to find a horse, even if you change jobs, you have to go in a higher direction.
And what really made Chen Jiaxin decide to join the Ele.me team was because Zhang Xuhao gave her a sense of familiarity.
He is very goal-oriented, very strong in execution, and calm, but also proud, even if he encounters limited development, he is also a breezy look, and he can't see a little hurry.
Chen Jiaxin has only seen one such entrepreneur, and that is Jiang Qin.
In other words, she feels that the current Zhang Xuhao is another Jiang Qin, a copy of Jiang Qin whose career has just begun.
However, Zhang Xuhao and Jiang Qin are not completely similar in personality.
Compared with Jiang Qin, Zhang Xuhao does not have that kind of hanging, he is more serious in his work, and he will not talk nonsense, which is what Chen Jiaxin appreciates even more.
"Sister Chen?"
"Huh?"
Zhang Xuhao looked at Chen Jiaxin: "Dianping accepted Tencent's investment before, I thought, can I find a relationship from you and meet with Tencent's investment manager?" ”
After listening to this, Chen Jiaxin thought for a moment: "I can try it." ”
"Then it's troublesome Sister Chen."
"Don't be so polite Mr. Zhang, we are now for a common future."
“……”
At the same time, the people from the headquarters of the group walked out of the office building to prepare for the New Year's Day dinner of various departments.
Jiang Qin drove to the Longkai International Hotel to participate in the annual Linchuan Business Gang Chaos Conference.
Following the tradition of the Linchuan Chamber of Commerce, this high-quality traditional program is held every year.
Linchuan's strategic cooperation brand has now increased to the seventh batch, and there are many newcomers, and the bosses who have grown up first like to nourish them.
Only Jiang Qin, elegantly holding the wine glass, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window looking at the bustling distance, his wrist shook lightly, shaking a bunch of foam for the liquid in the cup.
Liu Xiliang, the owner of Burger Emperor, walked over and gave Jiang Qin a toast.
"Mr. Jiang, why don't you go over and chat?"
"It's just that there is a sense of loneliness that after the unified market, the heroes are invincible, and I can only taste it slowly."
Liu Xiliang raised his head when he heard the voice, and he really pretended to be forced: "Is Miss Feng not allowed to drink the bar?" ”
Jiang Qin raised his eyebrows: "How is it possible, who can control me!" ”
Liu Xiliang smiled.
Many people in the Linchuan Business Gang have seen Feng Nanshu, because after every dinner, she rides a pink girl's electric car to pick up Jiang Qin, and the road is guarded by Rolls-Royce.
Many people know that Jiang Qin is invincible in the shopping mall, but in private he is actually a love brain.
It's like today's business party, which starts at three o'clock and ends at six o'clock.
Good guys, at six o'clock, the major bathing centers aren't even open.
But Mr. Jiang said that he had to go back to school to make dumplings with his good friend......
"Oh yes, Mr. Jiang, there is a small matter, I have to report it to you."
"What's the matter?"
Liu Xiliang sat on the sofa next to Jiang Qin and said: "There is a platform called Kuaiding in Kyoto, and I want to cooperate with Burger King to do takeaway delivery, is there any conflict between this and our strategic cooperation plan?" ”
Burger King is a fast food, easy to carry, fast to deliver, and the takeaway business is simply a natural pair.
Because the focus of takeaway is to deliver food quickly, fast delivery means fast delivery, plus Burger King is currently a first-line fast food brand, which is indeed loved by young office workers.
In fact, Kyoto's Hamburger Huangmen and Kuaidian's have been cooperating for a month, and the sales effect is very good, and the turnover is directly higher than that in Shanghai.
Seeing that it is profitable, Burger Emperor is of course applauding such a cooperation.
Moreover, the strategic cooperation agreement of Linchuan Business Gang is only for group purchase to the store, and it does not conflict with takeaway delivery.
But even so, Liu Xiliang still didn't dare to make his own decisions, but wanted to get Jiang Qin's nod.
If the God of Wealth says no, he can't do it, this is an unspoken rule of the Linchuan Merchant Gang.
"Do it, why not do it if you have money to make? It's not about money, just do it vigorously. ”
"Okay, Mr. Jiang, I'm relieved to have your nod."
Jiang Qin patted Liu Xiliang on the shoulder: "If you need publicity, go to the old way, and Toutiao will fully cooperate tonight, help with promotion, and increase sales or something." ”
Liu Xiliang was stunned for a moment.
To be honest, although the takeaway platform is not big, it will also affect the business volume of the group to the store to a certain extent, but he didn't expect Jiang Qin to be so supportive.
"Lao Liu, I'm actually not interested in money now, the only thing I want to do is to hope that our Linchuan merchant gang can have a more brilliant future."
Liu Xiliang was a little moved: "Mr. Jiang, when you say this, I feel that I am a bit like a mercenary villain." ”
Jiang Qin's face immediately changed: "Nonsense, those who are mercenary are gentlemen." ”
At this moment, a middle-aged man ran outside the door.
This person's name is Wu Jinxi, he is in the agricultural products business, and now he is a partner in the supply chain of the group, he carried a sack into the banquet hall and went straight to Jiang Qin, attracting a lot of attention.
"Mr. Jiang, the shepherd's cabbage has arrived, it's all fresh, have you seen enough?"
"My mom, you're too polite, I can't do it so much, she just thought it was delicious last time she ate shepherd's cabbage dumplings, and she wanted to eat a little more, in fact, the amount of two plates is enough."
