The Ten Years of Rebirth

Chapter 221 The Disadvantages of Takeaway

At six o'clock in the evening, an ordinary middle-aged man in a down jacket came to the door of Xiao Nan Guo Chinese Restaurant.

After entering the restaurant, the waiter at the door asked politely: "Hello, sir, are you alone? Or do you have an appointment in advance?"

The middle-aged man smiled gently and said, "Box 201, my friend is here."

"Okay, please follow me." The waiter smiled and nodded, leading the middle-aged man all the way to the second floor, and found the room 201 at the deepest part of the corridor.

After knocking on the door, the waiter heard the voice of "please come in", pushed the door open and let the middle-aged man enter.

"Secretary Zhao, hello, long time no see."

Pei Qinglan was the first person in the box to stand up, looking at Secretary Zhao with a smile on her face.

Seeing that several other people were also ready to stand up to welcome them, Secretary Zhao raised his hand to stop them with a smile, found a chair and sat down, and said to several people inside: "Today is just a private meeting and chat, don't be so polite, we are just having a meal. "

"Alright then, let's serve the food first, let's talk while eating." Pei Qinglan sat back on her chair and said to the waiter at the door, "Please start serving the food."

"Okay, please wait a moment." The waiter politely exited the room.

After the waiter left, Secretary Zhao sat on the seat, looked around, and finally fell on Xu Xing on the right.

With his energy, it is naturally relatively easy to find out the identity of the boss behind Qunxing Company.

As early as after WeChat entered their internal attention, Xu Xing's personal information and life experience, as well as detailed family background inquiries, had all been sorted out and handed over to his desk.

"This is Mr. Xu Xing, right?" Secretary Zhao looked at Xu Xing with a smile on his face, and his personal information was circulating in his mind, "It's really better to be famous than to meet."

Even though he had already read Xu Xing's personal information on the materials, seeing Xu Xing in person and seeing his excessively young age with his own eyes made Secretary Zhao couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

It's too young.

"Hello, Secretary Zhao." Xu Xing reached out his hand naturally, and after a brief handshake with him, he stretched out his hand to the wine bottle on the table and asked, "Do you drink white or beer?"

"Beer is fine, let's not drink too much."

Xu Xing got up, poured wine for Secretary Zhao himself, and introduced the identities of the other people present by the way.

Among them, Yao Yuanyuan and Yan Chijiu are the original team members of Qunxing Company, and Zhang Nong is Xu Xing's college roommate, and is currently responsible for the promotion of Eat Me.

Before coming, Secretary Zhao had a simple understanding.

But what he reads the most is Xu Xing's personal information.

And I couldn't read it again, and even asked my trusted subordinates to go and investigate in person to confirm the authenticity of the situation.

The most fundamental reason here is that Xu Xing is too clean!
Not only his personal resume, but also his family background are all clean and there is no fault to be found.

Grandpa is a retired soldier and has won many honors and medals. Both father and mother have normal jobs. Before Xu Xing made games, his father was the deputy manager of the production department of the foundry, and his mother was the owner of a personal clothing store.

Logically speaking, Xu Xing's family background is very superior compared to most ordinary people in the country.

But compared to other so-called "self-made" characters, Xu Xing's family's innate conditions are really not outstanding.

Nor can he provide any decisive help in Xu Xing's career.

As far as they know, Qunxing Company's initial development funds were only tens of thousands of dollars.

Besides, Xu Xing's parents didn't even provide the slightest source of connections.

The development of Qunxing Company was basically created by Xu Xing, a young man himself.

Generally speaking, for a company as big as Qunxing Company, which has risen in a short period of time, there are likely to be some unspeakable things involved in the process.

Some things may not involve legal issues, but it is not easy to bring them to the table. Secretary Zhao is mentally prepared for this.

But what he didn't expect was that Xu Xing, a young man, really made a career by relying on his own ability.

The only point that may be criticized is that he poached a lot of certain employees.

But this kind of thing is a normal business competition, compared to some more gray things, it is already very clean.

Originally, he thought that the rapid development of Qunxing Company might be driven by Pei Qinglan behind the scenes.

After all, the family's daughter is in charge of finances in this company, so it's hard not to let people's imagination run wild.

But in the end, the facts of the investigation proved that it seemed to have nothing to do with it.

The biggest relationship may be that when Tianshu Studio was first established, Pei Qinglan lent the private room of the Internet cafe to Xu Xing for two months for free.

In the eyes of Secretary Zhao and others, this is indeed an incredible thing.

An Internet company with a market value of tens of billions that has risen rapidly within half a year has such a clean and transparent resume.

There is no financing, let alone access to external capital.

The cash flow is healthier than many physical enterprises.

Although the main source of income is mobile games, they are not limited to a certain IP, but are multi-pointed, and each mobile game is very popular.

Coupled with core social products such as WeChat, and an industry that can provide a large number of jobs involving Internet + food delivery.

Where else can such a high-quality benchmarking enterprise be found?
Especially now that Qunxing Company is holding WeChat, if it can complete its occupation of the social field, then Qunxing Company can almost be sure that it has already grasped the ticket for the wave of the mobile Internet era.

"Let's eat the food first, let's talk slowly." Seeing that the waiter had come in with the food, Secretary Zhao took the wine glass that Xu Xingman had served, and said, leading the conversation, "I heard from Mr. Pei that you are going to talk about food today. What about the takeaway, I'll listen to it first, you don't mind, do you?"

"Why do you mind?" Pei Qinglan said with a smile, "I still have to ask Secretary Zhao to check and see if there is any omission."

"In this regard, people in the industry like Mr. Xu must know better. I am here to learn today." Secretary Zhao said very modestly, "As the saying goes, those who are masters are teachers, regardless of age, Mr. Xu should not hide it today. Tucking it in, it also made me rise up in the world."

"That's not the case. I can only throw bricks to attract jade. In the general direction, people like you, Secretary Zhao, can see it more clearly." Xu Xing also said a few words politely.

Afterwards, a few people started chatting around the food delivery.

Pei Qinglan had already learned the basic situation from Zhang Nong before, but Xu Xing asked Zhang Nong to give a brief introduction when Secretary Zhao just arrived.

Fortunately, with Pei Qinglan's foreshadowing before, Zhang Nong didn't have too much stage fright when facing someone with obviously higher status like Secretary Zhao, after training with Pei Qinglan once, he completed his tasks dutifully.

But this also has something to do with Xu Xing supporting him by the side.

If he were to face such a battle alone, he might not be able to bear it.

Secretary Zhao listened to the food while eating, nodding from time to time, and didn't mean to interrupt. After Zhang Nong had introduced it, he asked, "How many delivery staff do you have now?"

"Each school is equipped with about [-] to [-] to [-] or [-] delivery workers. At present, there are more than [-] registered delivery workers, but only half of them actually work every day." Zhang Nong explained, "Because many of them are part-time jobs for college students, and the current business model is mainly in the university, so this is the case."

"Oh, that's it." Secretary Zhao didn't ask much, but just nodded thoughtfully.

Pei Qinglan, who was on the opposite side, asked at the right time: "So, have you considered expanding into fields other than universities in the future?"

"There must be, but it's not the time yet." Xu Xing nodded and shook his head again, "At least in the next few months, until the end of next summer vacation, our business goal will be domestic university business."

"Tell me the reason?" Secretary Zhao didn't care much about universities in other provinces and cities, and was more concerned about whether the food delivery business could be promoted in other areas of the Shanghai stock market. "Can ordinary areas also deliver food?"

"There are a lot of factors involved in this, so let me briefly talk about it first." Xu Xing stroked his chin, thinking about how to say it more appropriately, and then his eyes fell on the dining table.

"Secretary Zhao, President Pei, how about I ask a few questions first?"

"You ask."

"Let's use an analogy. For example, the few of us are all newly registered delivery workers."

"Well, yes, then what?"

"Then we're going to deliver food, right? Now we're picking up food at this Xiaonanguo, and we're going to deliver it to customers who place orders." Xu Xing said so, and then quickly reported several addresses, "Building 5, Huajingyuan Unit 1, 402, Financial Office, 24th Floor, Tianyuan International Building, No. 182, Songji South Road, the second workshop of the winery."

As soon as these words came out, Secretary Zhao showed a stunned expression on his face: "This is similar to a taxi driver. The delivery person needs to be familiar with the surrounding environment? Otherwise, it will take a long time to find the place. It's all cold."

"Yeah." Xu Xing nodded, "But this can be solved. Currently, the system we configure for the delivery staff also has its own navigation function, but if the delivery staff can be more familiar with the local conditions, it will naturally be better."

"However, it's not just about this problem. The key lies in what Secretary Zhao you just mentioned at the end."

"Huh?" Secretary Zhao raised his eyebrows, and immediately realized, "Is the food cold?"

"Yes." Xu Xing said, "If it's just a university market, after the food is delivered in the surrounding restaurants, the delivery staff will be able to deliver the food in a few minutes to ten minutes, and they can still keep a copy of the temperature."

"However, if the scope is expanded and the delivery distance is increased to a few kilometers, then the time it takes for the delivery staff to deliver a meal is likely to rise to more than ten or twenty minutes, or even more than half an hour."

"This means that the heat preservation of dishes is a big problem. We must cooperate with relevant takeaway box manufacturers to develop a takeaway box suitable for heat preservation and carrying, so as to completely solve this problem."

"Then you're quite thoughtful." Secretary Zhao nodded, but still said, "But that's not the reason why you don't expand, right? Isn't it better to occupy the market first?"

"Another reason should be more fundamental." Xu Xing said, "User habits are difficult to change in a short period of time."

"The user habits I am talking about here are not just customers who order meals, but also restaurants that serve meals."

"Customers need to get used to ordering meals on their mobile phones half an hour to an hour in advance, and waiting for the goods to arrive."

"Restaurants also need to get used to this online ordering mode and prepare special equipment for takeaway."

"The cost of cultivating user habits will be greater than imagined, and the more impatient the more thankless it will be."

Listening to what Xu Xing said, both Secretary Zhao and Pei Qinglan fell into deep thought.

These things are actually very simple. When Xu Xing mentions them a little bit, the two of them can find more details in a divergent manner.

But what made them a little puzzled and surprised was that Xu Xing's behavior didn't look like an Internet company.

After all, for most Internet companies, they will not consider so many of your problems, and they will start the project first.

The bigger the picture, the better. Get the money from investors, and then quickly burn the money, in exchange for a prosperous scene, promote the rapid growth of data, and then enter the next cycle.

How can anyone keep talking about shortcomings in front of investors?
"Are you sure that after you say that, will I invest in Eate?" Pei Qinglan laughed, "Why do you feel that you are not looking for investment, but trying to persuade me to quit?"

"Investment decisions made on the premise of clarifying market risks can ensure that we will not have differences and disputes in the direction of development." Xu Xing is rarely sincere, "Although I have mentioned a lot of shortcomings, I have to deal with them. It’s just that these require time and money, and it’s not enough to sprint rashly overnight.”

"Then do you need any help?" Secretary Zhao said after deliberation, "There will be a national university seminar summit next month. Since you plan to promote it within the university first, do you want to pay attention? The venue is in our Shanghai stock market."

Hearing the news, Xu Xing frowned, he didn't expect the benefits to come so quickly.

"Of course, if possible, I have to trouble Secretary Zhao." Xu Xing said with a smile, "But before that, it depends on President Pei's intention."

"If Tencent, Ali or a certain degree get involved, do you have any countermeasures?" Pei Qinglan asked a question that most investors would consider.

"If you can't beat it, just join." Xu Xing blinked very spinelessly, "Eat Me is not WeChat, I use it alone to raise funds, and I'm ready for this, as long as WeChat is deeply tied to Eat Me Sure, no matter how turbulent it is, it will not escape the influence from WeChat."

"Speaking of this." Secretary Zhao couldn't help but interjected, "I'm more interested in WeChat now than eating. Is Mr. Xu interested in talking about it in detail?"
