The richest man

Chapter 269 The era of sharing economy has arrived, are you ready?
"Boss, are you hungry and Meituan have merged!" Zhang Jun's secretary hurried to the office and said.

Zhang Jun was taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't expect that the two opponents in the previous life would merge together.

"What's the name of the new company?" Zhang Jun asked. Although he was a little surprised by the merger of the two companies, it made sense after thinking about it carefully.Because in the face of the competition of "Where to go for takeout", the two companies can only barely survive by reporting to the group to keep warm.

The secretary replied at this time: "The new company is called Ele.me, because Ele.me's market share is much higher than that of Meituan, and the word 'Ele.me' is more suitable for takeout, so the newly established company is called Ele.me. Are you hungry!"

Hearing this, Zhang Jun couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly. It's fate that Meituan, the food delivery giant in his previous life, was going to be merged.

The secretary said: "The new Ele.me company has a market share of 30% in the food delivery market. In addition, it has also won the favor of many investment companies. They believe that Ele.me has the capital to challenge "Qunar takeaway", so it is in the new Ele.me After its establishment, it received a total investment of 2.5 million US dollars from six investment companies including Softbank, Sequoia Capital, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, KPCB, DFJ, and Carlyle! "

Zhang Jun was shocked when he heard this.

Take a look at the six investment companies investing in Ele.me, each of them is an investment giant resounding all over the world!
With so many giants supporting the development of Ele.me, no matter who sees it, they will be shocked.

It is expected that with the support of these investment companies, Ele.me will definitely grow rapidly.

Zhang Jun frowned slightly, feeling a little tricky.

"Ele.me is not so easy to catch up with "Qunar Takeaway"! Zhang Jun's expression was indifferent, revealing a self-confidence.

He said to the secretary: "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover up! The six major investment companies have joined forces to support Ele.me, and it will not shake the market position of "Qunar Food Delivery"!"By the way, tell the person in charge of "Qunar Takeaway", if you are hungry, if you want to continue the price war and subsidy war, then fight! ! ! "

"Okay, boss, I'll notify Mr. Li immediately!"

"Ah."

Zhang Jun was lying on the sofa, rubbing his temple with his right hand to relax his brain.

Zhang Jun can't stop Ele.me from launching a price war, but if the service is not done well, users will only use you when you are doing activities, and then turn to companies with better services.

Although the algorithm developed by "Qunar Takeaway" has the disadvantage of oppressing the delivery time of takeaway riders, for consumers, the delivery time of takeaway is shorter, and they can eat their meals earlier, so they don't have to continue to be hungry.

At present, the delivery time of "Qunar Takeaway" is generally between half an hour and 45 minutes.

The delivery time of the new Ele.me company is about an hour.

In contrast, consumers are more willing to spend on the "Qunar Food Delivery" platform.

……

……

A new round of takeaway wars has begun again.

Countless consumers are cheering, and they can spend very little money to consume luxurious meals.

"Competition like this, I hope every day!"

"That's right, the war in the food delivery industry ended up benefiting us all!"

"Haha, I think this food delivery war will last for a long time. The owner of "Qunar Food Delivery" is Zhang Jun, and the investors behind the scenes of Ele.me are six prominent investment giants in the world.If we don't fight this battle for a year or two, it may be hard to tell the winner! "

"Yeah, even if the market share of "Qunar Food Delivery" temporarily leads, but this thing, as long as it is willing to burn money, it will rise quickly.Isn’t Ele.me now relying on price subsidies to attract countless consumers! "

"..."

Domestically, netizens are talking about it.

The industry is extremely embarrassed. The food delivery industry has now become a money-burning industry, and companies without strong funds dare not get involved.

Everyone just watched the excitement, "Where to go takeaway" and "Are you hungry" come and go, like a big show.

"I saw a blue ocean in the 'Internet + food delivery' industry before. Fortunately, I didn't jump into it at the time, otherwise I would have jumped into the pit. This is not a blue ocean market. "Under the fight, other food delivery companies will be affected by Chiyu! "

"It's often said on the Internet that the boss fights with the second child, but the third child dies. Haha, brother, you're lucky, you escaped a catastrophe!"

In Zhongguancun Park, many bigwigs like to gather in the park after work.

When Ding Sanshi saw Li Yanhong at this time, he couldn't help but stepped forward to say hello, and then asked: "Li Yanhong, I heard that you Baidu has developed a food delivery software. Are you planning to enter the food delivery market?"

Li Yanhong also founded the Baidu search engine just like his previous life, but in this life, Baidu only occupied 31% of the market share on the PC side, Google accounted for 60%, and the remaining 9% of the search engine market was occupied by Sogou.

Baidu is on the mobile side, so it lags behind Google even more.

Google almost monopolizes the market.

Therefore, Baidu is also actively seeking to expand its influence.

The food delivery industry is so popular and has great potential for development, Li Yanhong naturally took a fancy to this industry.

It's just that Li Yanhong didn't expect that the food delivery industry would be so busy!
However, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.

Baidu's investors and shareholders also hope that Baidu Waimai can stand out and occupy a market!
"Yes, I just didn't expect the food delivery industry to be so competitive and burn so much money. I'm still hesitating whether Baidu should enter the food delivery market!" Li Yanhong smiled bitterly in frustration.

When Ding Sanshi heard this, he didn't give any suggestion, and smiled, expressing his surprise.

NetEase has already begun to transform into a mobile game. Although he is also envious of the development prospects of the food delivery industry, Ding Sanshi knows that it is difficult to do a good job in the food delivery industry with NetEase's ability.

……

……

Just when the battle between "Qunar Waimai" and "Eleme" was fierce, Baidu Waimai suddenly came in.

Relying on Baidu's resources, Baidu Waimai has attracted a large amount of traffic, coupled with various super high welfare subsidies, Baidu Waimai has developed very rapidly for a while.However, Baidu Waimai is far behind Qunar Waimai and Ele.me in all aspects.

Zhang Jun was really surprised when he learned that Baidu Waimai appeared.

In this life, Baidu is like Xiaoqiang. Under the suppression of Google, it did not die. This surprised Zhang Jun. Later, he learned that European and American investment companies strongly supported Baidu search engine company to compete with Google.

Google is an industry under the name of the legendary technology company. The major investment companies in Europe and the United States have no way to invest in and interfere with Google, so they can only target other search engine companies.

Baidu is the target chosen by foreign investment companies.

A few years ago, Baidu was still listed on Nasdaq, and its current market value is as high as 115 billion US dollars. It has successively launched many good products, such as Baidu Tieba, Baidu Zhizhi, Baidu Encyclopedia, etc...

Because of this, Baidu is ambitious and also wants to get a share in the food delivery field.

"Baidu Waimai came here to seek death!" Zhang Jun was full of disdain.

Before Baidu Waimai entered the market, the distribution of orders in the local food delivery market was basically 70% for Qunar Food Delivery and 30% for Ele.me.

Baidu Waimai rushed in at this time, it's really hard work!
"Boss, Baidu Waimai did not buy electric vehicles, recruit riders, and negotiate with merchants, but recruited 'agents' across the country, and then these agents went to the market. It is understood that the cooperation between Baidu Waimai and agents In the agreement, there is an item that requires the agent to pay an operation deposit in advance, and the amount is basically more than 10 yuan. The so-called operation deposit means that as long as the agent invests the same amount of operating costs in the first three months, the platform will Only then will the operation deposit be returned in full; if the agent fails to complete the above targets on time, the platform will deduct 3% or all of the remaining deposit from the agent, and has the right to terminate the contract with the agent..."

After Zhang Jun heard this, he was a little dazed. This treaty is a bit like an overlord's clause.

"How many agents are there for Baidu Waimai?" Zhang Jun asked.

The secretary nodded: "There are a lot of them. We don't know the specific data, but there must be more than 1000 agents... Right now, the food delivery industry is so hot. Ele.me has also raised 2.5 million US dollars, which is a sensation in the country. This can't help but stimulate very Lots of people. Everyone wants to make a fortune, so when Baidu Waimai puts the opportunity in front of them, many people are eager to try. In this way, Baidu does not need to open up the market itself, and thousands of agents will conquer the city for Baidu Waimai. "

After Zhang Jun listened, he was slightly taken aback. Baidu’s tricks are deep, and others pay to open up the market.In contrast, although the agents are aggressive, they are a bunch of stragglers.

The food delivery industry is highly competitive and burns money rapidly.

Agents will soon cry for their father and mother, unable to support, which will seriously affect the offline service of Baidu Waimai.

Some agents will want to defend their rights, and the conflict with Baidu will become more and more intense.

Just like this Baidu Waimai, can it surpass "Where to take out" and "Are you hungry"?
Zhang Jun was speechless.

"The boss fought with the second brother, and the third brother wanted to steal the tower, but he didn't have the strength, so he died." Zhang Jun couldn't help joking in his heart.

"You tell Mr. Li, "Where is the takeaway" as long as the service is done well, no mistakes will be made.We will always be ahead of other food delivery companies, Baidu Waimai, don't be afraid, and focus on prevention on "Ele.me". " Zhang Jun said to the secretary.

The secretary responded, "Okay, boss, then I'm leaving!"

"Well, let's go. Oh, by the way, call the CEO Shangguan Muye for me." Zhang Jun ordered to the secretary.

The secretary responded and walked outside.

Not long after, Shangguan Muye arrived.

Zhang Jun motioned for the other party to sit down, and then asked, "Has the motorcycle-sharing and Uber car-hailing software been successfully developed?"

Shangguan Muye replied: "A motorcycle-sharing app has been developed, but the Uber car-hailing app may be difficult to launch in a short time because of algorithms and many security issues."

Zhang Jun nodded: "Then let's postpone the launch of Uber for a while. Let's quit the shared motorcycles first! By the way, how many shared motorcycles have been produced by the factory so far?"

Shangguan Muye replied: "About 120 million units!"

"So many bikes are almost enough for now. Immediately make a plan for the parking spots of electric vehicles in major cities, and then make sure to release all the shared motorcycles the night before the APP goes live!" Zhang Jun thought Think, said the order.

"Okay," Shangguan Muye nodded, and immediately said, "I think we should hold a press conference before releasing the app to announce the shared motorcycle project!"

"Of course, this is necessary. Only by spreading the word will everyone know about the shared motorcycle project. Out of curiosity, they will definitely try to ride a shared motorcycle the next day!" Zhang Jun smiled.

"Well, then I will make some preparations, arrange the stage for PPT and press conference, and try to launch the bike sharing project as soon as possible!" Shangguan Muye said goodbye to Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun nodded at him, and watched Shangguan Muye leave.

The shared motorcycle business also has a name, called Uber Motorcycle, which is one of the projects on the Uber platform. Enterprise-level and other comprehensive travel services.

……

……

At this time, many strange electric car parking spots appeared on some streets in many big cities. The sign said: "Uber motorcycles are exclusively parked here, no other cars are allowed to park here!"

Passers-by see this, it is very different.

"What kind of car is an Uber motorcycle? Why do they have exclusive parking spots?"

"I don't know either! It's very strange!! What the hell is the government doing?! They even set aside such a space for Lao Shizi's Uber motorcycles. This used to be the place where we parked motorcycles. Now it's gone. I will park in the future." I don't even know where to stop!"

"Yeah, who knows the situation of Uber motorcycles, is there any infringement! The rights and interests of our common people have been damaged, and there will be no place to park in the future!"

"Uh, you have to park your motorcycles here. This is a place designated by the government. It must be useful. Everyone will find out later."

"..."

Everyone was chatting with each other.

However, because Legendary Technology Co., Ltd. made a lot of noise and almost acted together across the country, the matter of Uber’s exclusive parking spots for motorcycles topped the Weibo hot search list that day, which sparked heated discussions across the country.

"Holy shit, I didn't know until I read the news that this is nationwide. I thought that only our hometown has this exclusive parking spot for Uber motorcycles. From this point of view, the people behind the scenes who lead this matter must be very powerful , the wealth is powerful, and the local governments in major cities all give him face. Speaking of this, everyone must have guessed who it is! That's right, I thought about it for a long time, and there is only one person who meets this condition, and he is Zhang Jun, the founder of the legendary technology company, the richest man in the world!!!”

"My brother's analysis is very correct. Zhang Jun must have done it. Zhang Jun is making a big move again! So many cities in the country have established exclusive parking spots for Uber motorcycles. Is Zhang Jun planning to rent Uber motorcycles for us to use?!"

"Holy shit, your analysis is getting closer and closer to the truth. Just imagine, if we use Uber motorcycles by scanning the QR code, wouldn't it be enough? Oh shit, Zhang Jun relies on this to collect rent every day. Make a lot of money!"

"Amazing, you are all great gods, Zhang Jun's business model has been guessed by you, it must be like this! There are a lot of people who don't buy a car now, as long as the rent of motorcycles is not expensive, there will definitely be many People are willing to use car rental services!"

"Brothers, this is a business opportunity. Now only Mr. Zhang Jun is doing it alone. Does anyone dare to enter this market..."

"..."

Not to mention ordinary netizens, even the Internet and technology circles were shocked by Zhang Jun's generosity, business thinking and creativity.

At this time, Zhang Jun updated his Facebook and wrote a line: "The era of sharing economy has arrived, are you ready?"
