Chapter 574 Are you hungry?
Regional takeout delivery business has actually always been done by people. For example, the ordering group in a large commercial office building, or the ordering service provided by the network administrator in a street of Internet cafes, are all types of takeout delivery.
Compared with the group buying industry which focuses on in-store consumption, the takeout business pays more attention to delivery and delivery speed.
The integration of resources in this area is easier to do than the group buying business, and the technical content is not high.
You can unite with several surrounding restaurants to provide delivery services to you, connect with surrounding office buildings and university towns, and then hire delivery riders to designated stores.
The rider delivers the meal, the consumer pays, and a complete transaction model is formed.
But this kind of business relies heavily on riders.
How is group buying done?
Meet a good merchant, post the product or service information online, generate a text message code after payment, and verify it at the store. It basically does not rely on manual labor and is not difficult.
However, for takeout delivery businesses, if there are not enough delivery personnel, it will be difficult to continue to expand.
But the sight of riders all over the street delivering goods 24 hours a day, like young men riding the wind, delivering hot meals to the dining table is almost tantamount to delusion.
The founder of Im Not Hungry, Zhang Xuhao, was surfing the Internet in an Internet cafe. He was hungry for a long time and could only eat instant noodles, so he came up with the idea of starting a takeaway business.
As long as enough is given, there will be no shortage of people.
The entire market is glowing with vitality, making countless entrepreneurs excited.
Even some "people's entrepreneurs" did not want to spend a penny more, so they tried every means to let the kitchen apprentices work part-time as delivery persons. As a result, many apprentices studied in a restaurant for two years and could not cook, but they had a good track record.
There are so many people waiting on the roadside on electric bicycles just to deliver food to you.
Even if you keep negotiating with merchants and get a large number of orders, it's still useless if you can't deliver them.
But if you want to expand outward, you must hire people from society as riders. It is precisely because of this that Hungry Bu has fallen into a bottleneck period.
But as Li Changming said, this project looks very expensive at first glance, and most investors will hesitate.
In fact, it is very simple to recruit a large number of riders, just spend money.
In 2011, mobile Internet speed increased again.
So, if you want to start a food delivery business, the first thing you need to do is to make the delivery person a serious profession with sufficient size.
So, when I am hungry, I dont really need funds, and I cant survive on my own development, so I send plans everywhere in the hope of finding investment institutions.
Hence, if you want to expand your delivery business, recruiting delivery personnel is a big key.
Only if there are enough delivery people, they will have more ability to obtain orders.
People have three meals a day, which is basically the minimum standard. If the number of delivery people cannot keep up in time, it is simply unrealistic to expand.
Smartphone shipments in China exceeded 300 million.
It is easier to find a delivery person in a university because students have a lot of spare time besides attending classes.
But in this era, delivery persons are actually still a part-time job. They are basically hired by businesses and are not considered a serious profession.
So far, the delivery services of three surrounding universities have been established.
This is the problem that lies ahead on the road to development.
Jiang Qin originally provided delivery services in the experimental field of Linchuan, but until the group group went nationwide, he did not continue to do this sector.
Because he knew very well that if he wanted to make it bigger, he would have to spend too much money.
Even if the current group-building profitability is very strong, it will still be daunting when faced with this amount of money.
Whats more, you dont have to spend your own money on doing business!
So the best way is to wait for someone to ignite the fire, attract capital, and everyone can pool money together to burn out a prospect and quickly increase the market share.
Hungry, in Jiang Qins eyes, is the igniter.
Before the fire starts, it is impossible for the team to finish first.
Because... Pintuan is too strong in the field of life services. If it were to leave directly, many investment institutions would be afraid of it.
Mr. Zhang, hows the venture capital situation going?
I went to meet with several companies, but no one was very interested in Hungry. There are currently more people waiting and watching. Just wait, there will definitely be a result after the Spring Festival.
In a community in Shanghai, there are seventeen people sitting in a room with three bedrooms and one living room.
This is a hungry start-up team.
Among these seventeen people, there are two newcomers, namely Chen Jiaxin and Zhang Li after leaving Dianping.
After Dianping was eliminated by the group, although its business volume has remained at a certain level, everyone knows that the future is already dark.
For people without ambition, being a monk and ringing the clock for a day is a very good choice.
If you get laid off, just let it go. Wages are still being paid anyway.
Compared with the fear of the Thousand Regiments War, days like this are very pleasant.
But for ambitious people, the public is no longer a platform to shine.
Chen Jiaxin and Zhang Xuhao met through the introduction of a friend. At that time, she did not have the idea of hungry.
Because no matter how bad Volkswagen is, it cannot be compared with such a small start-up company. People say that if you ride a mule to find a horse, even if you change jobs, you have to go in a higher direction.
What really made Chen Jiaxin decide to join the Ele.me team was that Zhang Xuhao gave her a sense of familiarity.
He is very goal-oriented in doing things, has strong execution ability, and is calm and composed. At the same time, he also has a sense of pride. Even when his development is limited, he looks calm and calm, without any sign of anxiety.
Chen Jiaxin has only seen one such entrepreneur, and that is Jiang Qin. In other words, she feels that the current Zhang Xuhao is just another Jiang Qin, a replica of Jiang Qin whose career has just started.
However, Zhang Xuhao and Jiang Qin are not completely similar in personality.
Compared with Jiang Qin, Zhang Xuhao is not that careless, works more seriously, and does not talk nonsense. This is something that Chen Jiaxin appreciates even more.
Sister Chen?
"Um?"
Zhang Xuhao looked at Chen Jiaxin: "Dianping accepted Tencent's investment before. I wonder if I can find some connections from you and meet with Tencent's investment manager?"
After hearing this, Chen Jiaxin thought for a moment: "I can give it a try."
Then Ill trouble Sister Chen.
You dont need to be so polite, Mr. Zhang, we are working for a common future now.
At the same time, people at the group headquarters came out of the office building with a huff and puff, preparing for the New Year's Day dinner of various departments.
Jiang Qin drove to Longkai International Hotel to attend the annual Linchuan Business Gang Chaos Conference.
Following the tradition of Linchuan Chamber of Commerce, this high-quality traditional program of New Years Eve is held every year.
Linchuans strategic cooperation brands have now increased to the seventh batch. There are many new people, and the bosses who have grown up early like to nourish them.
Only Jiang Qin, holding the wine glass elegantly, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the prosperous distance. With a flick of his wrist, a bunch of foam came out of the liquid in the glass.
Liu Xiliang, the boss of Burger King, walked over and gave Jiang Qin a toast.
Mr. Jiang, why dont you go over and chat?
There is just a kind of loneliness that after the unification of the market, the hero is invincible, and I can only taste it slowly.
Liu Xiliang raised his head when he heard the sound, Wo Ri, you are so pretentious: "Is it Miss Feng who doesn't let you drink?"
Jiang Qin raised his eyebrows: "How is it possible? Who can control me!"
Liu Xiliang chuckled.
Many people in the Linchuan Business Gang have met Feng Nanshu, because after every dinner party, she is the one who rides a pink girls electric car to pick up Jiang Qin, with a Rolls-Royce escorting her.
Many people know that Jiang Qin is a manipulative man in the shopping mall, but in private he is actually a lover.
It's like today's business gang party. It's scheduled to start at three o'clock and end at six o'clock.
Hey guys, at six o'clock, all the major bathing centers are not even open.
But Mr. Jiang said that he had to go back to school to make dumplings with his good friends...
Oh, by the way, Mr. Jiang, there is a small matter that I need to report to you.
"What's up?"
Liu Xiliang sat on the sofa next to Jiang Qin and said: "There is a platform in Kyoto called Kuaisui Meals. I want to cooperate with Burger King for takeout delivery. Does this conflict with our strategic cooperation plan?"
Burger King makes fast food, which is easy to carry and can be delivered quickly. It is a perfect match for the takeout business.
Because the focus of takeout is fast food delivery, which means fast delivery. In addition, Burger King is already a first-tier fast food brand and is indeed very popular among young office workers.
In fact, Kyoto's Burger King store has been cooperating with QSR for a month, and the sales results are very good, with the turnover directly higher than that in Shanghai.
Seeing that it is profitable, Burger King certainly welcomes such cooperation with both hands.
Furthermore, Linchuan Business Gangs strategic cooperation agreement is only for group purchases in stores, and does not conflict with takeout delivery.
But even so, Liu Xiliang still did not dare to make the decision himself, but wanted to get Jiang Qin's nod.
What the God of Wealth says is not allowed, he cannot do it. This is an unspoken rule of the Linchuan Merchant Gang.
Lets do it, why not do it if you can make money? Its not like you have any grudge against money, just do it vigorously.
Okay, Mr. Jiang, Ill feel relieved as long as you nod.
Jiang Qin patted Liu Xiliang on the shoulder: "If you need publicity, go to Laolu. Tonight Toutiao will fully cooperate and help with promotion, increase sales, etc."
Liu Xiliang was stunned for a moment.
To be honest, although the food delivery platform is not big, it will affect the business volume of group booking to the store to a certain extent, but he did not expect Jiang Qin to be so supportive.
Old Liu, I am actually no longer interested in money. The only thing I want to do is to hope that our Linchuan Business Gang can have a more brilliant future.
Liu Xiliang was a little moved: "Mr. Jiang, when you say this, I feel like I am a mercenary villain."
Jiang Qin immediately changed his face: "That's nonsense. Those who only seek profit are gentlemen."
At this moment, a middle-aged man ran out of the door.
This man's name is Wu Jinxi, who is in the agricultural products business and is now a partner in the group supply chain. He entered the banquet hall carrying a sack and went straight to Jiang Qin, attracting a lot of attention.
Mr. Jiang, the shepherds purse has arrived. They are all fresh. Have you seen enough?
My mother, you are too kind. I cant ask for so much. She just ate the shepherds purse dumplings last time and thought they were delicious. She wanted to eat more. In fact, two plates are enough.
