Chapter 19: Fool Mode
Lin Tong is now obsessed with making money, and he didn't pay attention to the demote proposed by Mr. Liu.
However, He Yang took this matter to heart.
"Teacher Liu said that he wanted to recruit you to enter the Computer Department of Jiangcheng University, what do you think about this?"
Lin Tong was calculating the accounts of the past few days, and he didn't even raise his head.
"What else can you think, let's do our app first."
"Actually, I think that although making money is a big deal, my studies are also a big deal." He Yang advised.
He was a complete scumbag, and it was a novelty to hear this sentence from his mouth.
"How did you get transgender today? Can you hear the words that academics are important? ”
He Yang got serious, with a serious face.
"Seriously, do you really think we can make this app?"
Lin Tong did not hesitate and nodded.
Now Meituan Ele.me has not yet appeared, and the food delivery market has broad prospects.
As soon as his takeaway app was launched, it was welcomed by the majority of students and major construction sites, which shows that this piece of pure land has great potential for development.
"Even if this app can become bigger, we can only eat the market in Jiangcheng."
He Yang said honestly: "The whole of China is vast, and the riders we recruit can't go to other cities. ”
In fact, his vision is still very long-term.
In the past few days, they have won the takeaway markets of several universities in Jiangcheng, and have also recruited many college students and casual workers as takeaway riders.
However, their scale can only be regarded as a small fight for a large group.
"Look at our little storefront......
"According to what you said, I really can't imagine that this app should be made into an app for the entire Jiangcheng and the entire Dragon Kingdom."
The store they rented was especially empty at night.
In the past few days, Lin Tong and He Yang have been busy recruiting riders, and they have said that they will recruit the front desk and recruit finance, but they have not had time to arrange an interview.
Today, I met with Mr. Liu from Jiangcheng University, and Jiangcheng University proposed to cooperate with them to jointly promote the business, which also made Lin Tong distressed.
The main reason is that there are too many incidents to deal with at once, and it is difficult for Lin Tong to arrange all these trivial matters at once.
"At present, the development momentum of our company is so good, even if the business is done in the whole dragon country, it is not a problem."
Lin Tong's eyes were full of hope.
In the future, mobile phone networks will become more and more developed, and there will be more and more demand for takeaways by then.
Before Meituan and Ele.me can get involved, they must first seize this market.
"He Yang, do you believe that in the future, the number of delivery riders in our Dragon Kingdom will reach 10 million."
Lin Tong put down the ledger, his eyes full of ambition: "At that time, the takeaway market will be saturated, and anyone can place an order through their mobile phone and order takeaway anytime, anywhere." ”
"And how much do we have to spend to hire so many delivery riders?"
He Yang smiled bitterly.
"If we want to grow bigger in the future, we will invest a lot in this area." Lin Tong smiled.
He has a clever brain, but he is not stupid, he and He Yang, the grass platform team, want to seize the takeaway market with Meituan Eleme, which is basically equivalent to hitting a stone with an egg
There's no way, they have just started a business, and they still have too few capital connections in their hands.
"Let's take one step at a time."
Having said that, Lin Tong was actually prepared in his heart.
As soon as Meituan and Ele.me appeared, they quickly gained market recognition and received large amounts of angel investment.
This kind of opportunity is not something that a grass platform team like theirs can compare.
So he had to quickly seize the market before the two giants appeared.
After that, maybe you can use the resources of this platform to negotiate terms with the two giants.
The sweet dream is too good, and I still have to move bricks to work when I wake up.
There are more and more users of the app, and He Yang asked Lin Tong to add new functions several times, but Lin Tong just didn't agree.
"Our app focuses on fool mode, the setting is simple, and the platform only has three ports, one for riders, one for users, and one for merchants."
Lin Tong explained while patching the app.
"In fact, people who really order takeout don't care if your software is fully functional."
"Those who order takeout are lazy, and as long as we simplify the steps, we will definitely attract this specific group of users."
He Yang will be suspicious: "Really? ”
Lin Tong nodded again and again: "Of course." ”
In fact, it's not that he doesn't want to, it's just that Lin Tong doesn't want to spend more time on the app, according to the time calculation, Meituan and Ele.me will appear soon.
Both of these are the two giants of the food delivery market, and they must now race against time to bring the first batch of users into their own market.
Two days later, Mr. Liu from Jiangcheng University called again.
"Lin Tong, have you thought about cooperating with our school?"
In the past few days, he has been busy recruiting riders and the front desk, and Lin Tong has forgotten about it.
However, when he came out of the school, Lin Dong had already thought that although cooperating with Jiangcheng University could quickly promote the app, it also added a lot of limitations to them.
After all, with the endorsement of Jiangcheng University, users can use this software with more confidence.
"Teacher Liu, you know, so the advantages of cooperating with Jiangcheng University outweigh the disadvantages."
"However, Jiangcheng University is an official institution after all, if our grass platform team is included in the official institution, will there be a lot of restrictions on the means of promotion?"
Lin Tong smiled hypocritically.
The other side was stunned for a moment, I really didn't expect this Lin Tong to have such a long-term vision.
"You're very thoughtful, and I really didn't expect that."
Liu Xiangdong sighed: "Actually, we are really optimistic about your food delivery app, and we also hope that our school can cooperate with you, we are very supportive of young people's Internet entrepreneurship." ”
"But if you have that concern now, I can understand that."
"Jiangcheng University is very supportive of science and technology entrepreneurship, and my director and I attached great importance to this program from the beginning."
"Although we have not been able to lead to cooperation, I hope that your project can be promoted successfully."
"Lin Tong, if you encounter difficulties in the future, you can come back to me at any time."
With Mr. Liu's words, Lin Tong was a little moved.
Although no cooperation has been reached for the time being, Liu Xiangdong can say this kind of thing, even if he gives Lin Tong a back-up.
"Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your willingness to support us."
Hanging up the phone, Lin Tong had mixed feelings.
Many of the app's users were students from Jiangcheng University, and Mr. Liu was the first to lend him a helping hand.
If it weren't for the school opening up this channel, their takeaway app user promotion would not have gone so smoothly.
Moreover, Mr. Liu also helped them apply for an ICP business license in the name of the school.
This favor is remembered by Lin Tong.
