Perfection of Rebirth

Chapter 529 Meituan starts spending money mode

Jiang Hui stayed at ATL all afternoon, stayed in the evening to have a meal with the management, and rushed back to the capital the next day.

Zhou Benqiang has asked Liao Yun Jianghui many times when he will return to the imperial capital.Speaking of which, Jiang Hui has been away on a business trip for a week, and Meituan.com has more than one billion dollars in cash, and is preparing to report to Jiang Hui before starting the money-spending mode. No wonder Zhou Benqiang cares about when Jiang Hui will return to the imperial capital every day.

"Mr. Jiang, today I mainly want to report to you about the next development direction of Meituan.com." On Jiang Hui's first day back to work in the Science and Technology Building, Zhou Benqiang made an appointment to report to Jiang Hui.

According to what Jiang Hui mentioned casually, Meituan.com can diversify into subdivided directions such as fresh online shopping, food reviews (similar to Dianping), cooking strategies (similar to cooking), takeaways, and diets for pregnant women and other special groups. develop.

After the successful listing of Meituan.com, it raised US$10.5 billion.

People are heroes and money is courage. With this money in hand, Meituan.com finally dared to move towards diversification.

No, as soon as Jiang Hui returned to the office, Zhou Benqiang had already worked out the money-spending plan for Meituan.com.

"Find a seat and sit down. I have reserved two hours today to discuss with you the next development strategy of Meituan."

"Well, according to your previous opinion, I organized various departments within Meituan to conduct a review, and I think the points you mentioned earlier, Mr. Jiang, are very suitable for Meituan's Tianchao branch, but not necessarily suitable for the whole world. We think First try to promote the online shopping business of daily fresh food in Tianchao.”

"Tell me your reasons to come and listen?"

"Daily Fresh mainly focuses on businesses that require express delivery such as fruit, seafood, and meat. In Tianchao, the salary of couriers is much lower than that in the United States, and with proper incentives, evenings and weekends can also be arranged. Delivery. But it’s different in the United States. What they pursue is to enjoy life, and it’s very difficult to ask people to work overtime on weekends.”

What Zhou Benqiang said is true. There is no courier in any country in the world who is as hardworking as China.In Europe and the United States, people work more to enjoy life and live a life of drunkenness today.

"Well, you can think about it in the early stage. But I suggest starting with fruit first, and meat slowly. After all, fruit does not have as high requirements for transport vehicles as meat."

"That's what we think about, and we only launched it in a few first-tier cities as a pilot at the beginning, and gradually expanded to other cities."

"If you are planning to enter this market, then you should be more generous, take a few pieces of land in major cities, and build a large storage center."

Jiang Hui couldn't help thinking of buying a few pieces of land and putting them there to increase the value.Regardless of whether the daily fresh food makes money or not, the land price of the warehouse will definitely double in a few years.So now Jiang Hui encourages the group's well-funded subsidiaries to acquire land to build warehouses, factories, office buildings, etc.Even the directly-operated stores of Guanghui Mobile phones are built by buying shops as much as possible.

"Well, we are going to spend [-] million US dollars on daily fresh food projects. Including warehouse construction and self-owned logistics construction."

Three hundred million U.S. dollars was equivalent to more than two billion yuan in 2006.It looks like a lot. If you build your own warehouse and logistics, if it is fully rolled out across the country, it is really not enough.Later generations of Jingxi invested more than one billion U.S. dollars in order to build their own logistics.

But fortunately, Meituan is only promoting the daily fresh food business in first-tier cities, and more than 20 billion is enough.

"Finding a suitable opportunity to announce this plan to the public also feels that it should be good for Meituan's stock."

"Well, I'm going to announce a project this month, a food review project in another month, and then a takeaway and cooking strategy project."

"That's good too. Keep releasing good news, slowly stimulating the stock price, and making investors full of confidence in the prospects of Meituan."

According to Tang Wenwen's progress, the stock price of Meituan.com should hit a new high next year. By then, some of the stocks held by Jiang Hui will have passed the lifting period, which is just enough to cash out a sum of money.When the stock price plummeted during the subprime mortgage crisis, repurchase.

After going back and forth like this, it is estimated that at least one billion US dollars can be earned, and at that time, it can also gain a good reputation for bailing out the market.

"The food review business and culinary strategy should be promoted globally."

"Yes, the two businesses of daily fresh food and takeaway are only promoted in Tianchao in the early stage, while food reviews and cooking strategies are oriented to the world."

"The most developed online shopping market is in the Yangtze River Delta. I suggest that Meituan.com go to the Shanghai stock market to investigate, and consider moving the company's headquarters to the Shanghai stock market in the future," Jiang Hui said while looking at the information.

The move of Meituan headquarters to the Shanghai stock market is not only because the Shanghai stock market is more suitable for the development of Meituan, but also involves the strategic layout of Guanghui Group in the country.

At present, Guanghui Group's Internet business is concentrated in the imperial capital, and its business is mainly in the Shenzhen stock market. As the most economically developed Shanghai stock market, it has no sense of presence.So Jiang Hui wants to strengthen the layout in this area.

"Mr. Jiang, we plan to build a new call center to handle customer inquiries and complaints from various business modules of Meituan. We plan to build this call center in the suburbs of Shanghai, together with Meituan's East China warehouse. As for For the relocation of Meituan headquarters, we may need to communicate with the government departments of the two places to see if we can get more preferential policies through this,” Zhou Benqiang said.

Generally, the government welcomes the relocation of influential corporate headquarters; on the contrary, if you move out, you will offend people if you are not careful.

What Zhou Benqiang said about the call center is indeed necessary.After all, for a service company like Meituan, customer experience is the most important thing.As one of the important links of customer experience, the handling of consultation and complaints is very critical.

"Relocating the headquarters of Meituan.com to the Shanghai stock market and keeping only the branch in the imperial capital is in line with the development strategy of Guanghui Group, and it must be implemented as soon as possible."

Although Zhou Benqiang has carried out Jiang Hui's instructions fairly well in recent years, he was initially stationed by IDG after all, and he cannot be regarded as Jiang Hui's direct army, so Jiang Hui once again emphasized the importance of the relocation of the Meituan headquarters. sex.

"Okay, I'll implement it immediately when I go back."

Next, Jiang Hui continued to exchange his views on several new development directions of Meituan.com with Zhou Benqiang.

As Jiang Hui, who has seen the development models of companies such as Original Life, Dianping, Xiakitchen, and Meiyou, he can often put forward some opinions and viewpoints that Zhou Benqiang admires very much.This also strengthened Zhou Benqiang's confidence to follow Jiang Hui's footsteps.
