Perfection of Rebirth

Chapter 363 Inspecting the Meituan Branch
February 2005, 2, the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Monday.

Jiang Hui originally wanted to leave home after the Lantern Festival, but the constant phone calls these past few days, all kinds of requests and reports, annoyed Jiang Hui.Jiang Hui set off for Wuyang City on the [-]th day of the first lunar month.

Guanghui Group now has a branch of Meituan and Aofei Animation in Wuyang, so Jiang Hui thought of taking the opportunity to go to the company to take a look.

"Old Zhou, send me the address of Meituan's Wuyang branch. I happen to be in Wuyang, so go and have a look." Jiang Hui called Zhou Benqiang, the general manager of Meituan.com.

I'm ashamed to say that the Guanghui Group companies have many branches in the whole country and abroad, but Jiang Hui hasn't visited them yet, and the specific address of the company is even less clear.

"Director Jiang, where are you now? I'll ask the branch manager to pick you up?" Zhou Benqiang said.

"No, I'll just drive there, it doesn't need to be so troublesome," Jiang Hui said.

The big boss of the company suddenly went to inspect the branch in person, Zhou Benqiang couldn't help but be nervous.Zhou Benqiang himself was recommended by IDG, not Jiang Hui's direct lineage, but his performance has been good, so Jiang Hui made him the general manager of Meituan.com.

Hearing what Jiang Hui said, Zhou Benqiang had no choice but to give an address. Fortunately, Jiang Hui still had a certain understanding of Wuyang, so he probably knew where the address was.

These days, navigation is not so popular yet, unlike when Jiang Hui was reborn, any mobile phone has navigation in it, so you don't have to worry about not being able to find it wherever you go.

After Zhou Benqiang answered Jiang Hui's call, he immediately called the manager of the Wuyang Branch of Meituan.com to arrange relevant reception matters.

On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, although everyone has already come to work in the company, it's not a matter of whether they have entered the working state.

After Lin Zhouheng from the Wuyang Branch of Meituan.com received a call from Zhou Benqiang, he heard that the chairman of the company was going to conduct an inspection. His first reaction was whether someone had made a small report to the big boss.The Wuyang branch is so far away from the imperial capital, and few leaders from the headquarters come to inspect it. Lin Zhouheng feels a bit like a frontier official as a manager here. Coupled with the good treatment from Meituan.com, he doesn't want to lose his job.

"Mr. Zhou, don't worry, I will arrange the reception," Lin Zhouheng could only say to Zhou Benqiang.

Fortunately, Jiang Hui had asked his secretary to contact the staff of the Wuyang branch of Meituan.com to help pick up Jiang Ping, and Lin Zhouheng could barely be regarded as someone who had served the chairman.

Just as Jiang Hui parked the car, Lin Zhouheng and others quickly came over.It seems that they have arranged for someone to watch downstairs to check whether Jiang Hui has arrived at any time.After all, Jiang Hui was driving the official car of the Wuyang branch of Meituan.com, so it was easy to recognize.

"Director Jiang, you are welcome to visit the Wuyang branch in your busy schedule," Lin Zhouheng said while shaking Jiang Hui's hand.

Although Jiang Hui hadn't dealt with Lin Zhouheng many times, as the former general manager and current chairman of Meituan.com, Lin Zhouheng had come to the Imperial Capital for many meetings, and Jiang Hui still had some impressions of him.

"Everyone has worked hard, let's go upstairs and talk about it," Jiang Hui said.

"Okay, Chairman Jiang, this way please. Our office is on the seventh floor of the office building, and we currently have 22 employees," Lin Zhouheng said as he walked.

The office area is not too big, after all, there are only about 20 people.Jiang Hui walked around the office area, and then led by Lin Zhouheng to the conference room.

"Jiang Dong, then I will report to you about the situation of the branch?" Lin Zhouheng said.

"Okay, let's start," Jiang Hui said.

"Since the Wuyang branch was established last year, under the guidance of the leaders at all levels of the head office, it has opened up more than 5000 merchants such as food, hairdressing, and entertainment. million..." Lin Zhouheng spent more than ten minutes introducing the situation of the Wuyang branch.

"How many group buying websites are there in the Wuyang area?" Jiang Hui asked.

Since Meituan became popular all over the country, it has attracted the attention and follow suit of many capitals.Although it was not as tragic as the thousand-regiment war in later generations, Meituan.com could no longer eat alone.It is estimated that after Meituan goes public, there will be an even more tragic struggle.

The reason why there are so many follow-up group buying websites in later generations is because they were stimulated by Groupon, the veteran of group buying websites.It's such a simple website with a market value of more than [-] billion US dollars. It's impossible for the Internet elites of the Celestial Dynasty not to be crazy.

“There are currently three well-known group-buying websites registered in Wuyang. If we consider other domestic group-buying websites, there are about seven or eight in Wuyang with certain users. But our Meituan website is the only one. [-]% of the market share, other companies are imitating the operating model of Meituan, which is not yet a success,” Lin Zhouheng said.

"Although they are not popular now, you can't take it lightly. The threshold of group buying websites is not as high as you think. As long as you have the capital to burn money, the number of users will increase quickly. In the face of discounts, the loyalty of Tianchao consumers The speed is very low," Jiang Hui said.

"Good Director Jiang, we will pay close attention to changes in the market environment and report to the head office at any time," Lin Zhouheng said.

"How is the expansion work of the Wuyang branch in the surrounding provinces?" Jiang Hui asked.

"At present, half of our people are developing markets in surrounding provinces, but in terms of turnover, Wuyang local accounts for nearly half of the market share, and we still need to continue to work hard," Lin Zhouheng said.

After Jiang Hui asked a few more questions, this trip to the Wuyang branch of Meituan.com almost came to an end.

Guanghui Group now has a dozen companies under its umbrella, and Meituan is the company that Jiang Hui most wants to list first.On the one hand, the development space of group buying websites is relatively limited. Jiang Hui is not so optimistic about the future growth space of Meituan.com, and just took advantage of the Nasdaq Internet stocks to go public when the Internet stocks started to heat up, cashing out part of the funds to invest in other fields After the financial crisis, if the price is right, then buy back part of the stock.On the other hand, it can also be regarded as a test for the listing of other companies, and to understand the operation process and so on.After all, in the long run, Xiaonei, YY Live, Autohome, Qunar and other companies will also go public sooner or later.

However, whether companies such as Brilliant Games, Brilliant Weibo, and Brilliant Payment are listed or not will have to be reconsidered.

After finishing the inspection of the Wuyang branch of Meituan.com, Jiang Hui refused the dinner arranged by Lin Zhouheng and drove to the hotel by himself.Jiang Hui planned to continue borrowing this car for a few days, and then let them go directly to the airport and drive back.
