Zhang Shuo also didn't expect that Qingcheng Group would be so popular.

As soon as word got out that they were going to launch a round of financing, Ali and Qiandu, the two giants, came to the door one after another, asking for in-depth cooperation with Qingcheng Group.

It would be best to merge each other's local life service businesses.

"What's the fuss about?"

Before financing, I didn’t see how much these giants valued Qingcheng Group.

"This just shows that the giants have always been wary of Bu Ya. In the past, they thought we could handle it alone, but now they are panicking as soon as we raise funds." Jiang Yuexiao.

"Well, the magic of capital."

Zhang Shuo sometimes had to admit that those with money can really do whatever they want, "What do you think of Ahri and Qiandu's olive branch of cooperation?"

"If you want to choose one company to cooperate with, you can negotiate with both at the same time, and you should be able to negotiate a good price. If you are not prepared to cooperate, it is best not to negotiate with one company at all, so as not to offend both companies," Jiang Yue said.

.

"That's the truth."

Zhang Shuo also deeply agreed.

If it is a choice between two companies, then no matter which company is eliminated in the end, the one with the highest price will get it, and there is nothing to say; but if Sprout does not choose any company in the end, from the perspective of Ahri and Qiandu, you will feel that you are being cheated.

Just kidding..

"Then let's not talk about it." Zhang Shuo quickly made up his mind.

"You really don't want to talk about it? The conditions offered by Ah Li are very sincere." Jiang Yue felt a little regretful.

The uncle is spending a lot of money this time. In order to reach a strategic cooperation, he is not only willing to merge Haode Map and Ali Dianping into Qingcheng Group, but he can even provide assistance for Qingcheng Group to acquire Mold Group.

Let Qingcheng Group become a giant in the local life service industry.

"It's just because the conditions are favorable, that's why we can't talk. You know Ahri's need for control."

With such a bargaining chip, Ahri will definitely not give up control of the Qingcheng Group with his style. By then, I am afraid that the Qingcheng Group will fall into infighting.

This is not a situation Zhang Shuo wants to see.

"What about Qiandu? Qiandu only requires Qingcheng Group to access Qiandu Map and promise not to interfere with Qingcheng Group's daily operations." Jiang Yue asked again.

"Qiandu is indeed a good partner." Zhang Shuo did not deny this. "The problem is that we have already invested in Haode Map and it is impossible to switch to Qiandu Map."

"I don't think it's a big deal. At the worst, if we sell the shares of Haode Map, Ahri will be happy to take over."

Behind the competition among the three giants in the food delivery industry is also the competition in the map navigation business.

Moutuan, Alibaba Dianping, and Qingcheng Group all use Haode Maps, Nomi naturally uses Qiandu Maps, and Dacong Dianping uses Tenda Maps.

This shows how delicate the situation is.

The same goes for payment. Alibaba Dianping only has Zhifu Bao, and Dacong Dianping only has Caifutong.

Exclude them all!

Even now, a few years later, if you dare to do this, you will have to be spanked.

"But maps are one of the underlying tools of the local life service business. If we give up Haode Maps, it will be like being led by Qiandu Maps. Unless Qiandu Maps allows us to invest in it." Zhang Shuo saw it accurately.

"Well……"

Jiang Yue was stunned for a moment, thinking that Qiandu would definitely not allow Moya to invest in Qiandu Maps.

Don't even think about it.

"So this is a dead end, so I have no choice but to refuse." Zhang Shuo was also very sorry.

"Then you have to find a good reason."

Jiang Yue was a little confused. The olive branch extended by the giant was not so easy to refuse.

"This is simple."

Zhang Shuo was very familiar with it, "Let Pei Weiping make a public statement in the name of Qingcheng Group, saying that the funds obtained by Qingcheng Group in this round of financing will mainly be used to open more Qingcheng Xiaozhu offline stores and continue to provide users with

Providing safe and reliable Chinese fast food. It can also be regarded as a response to online public opinion."

"Isn't this such a shame?"

Jiang Yue previously thought that after Qingcheng Group raised funds, it would also join the war on food delivery subsidies. Taking advantage of this wave of public opinion, it would strongly intervene in the food delivery business and attract traffic to the Qingcheng app.

The result turned out to be the opening of Qingcheng Xiaozhu offline stores.

In this case, isn't it equivalent to spending Qingcheng Group's money to make wedding dresses for food delivery platforms such as Moutuan, Dacongdianping, Ali-Dianping and Nomi?

"Nothing to regret."

Zhang Shuo smiled meaningfully, "I have said long ago that in the local life service track, we must be slow and not fast. We must maintain strategic focus and always adhere to our own development pace."

"I always feel like you have bad intentions."

Jiang Yuedao is not stupid. He knows that although the big boss Zhang Shuo is young, he is very scheming. If you think you are suffering a loss, you may be playing a big game of chess.

Just like this food delivery scandal, platforms such as Mituan have suffered a decline in reputation, which has greatly reduced the effectiveness of previous subsidies. However, Qingcheng Group has reaped a wave of praise.

Who can believe it before it happens?

"It's not as complicated as you think."

Zhang Shuo was really wronged this time, "Since the beginning of Qingcheng's establishment, its target customers have always been urban white-collar workers, workers who work in the CBD. This group is willing to pay when ordering takeout.

The additional cost of packaging and distribution is as long as it ensures that you can eat safe and reliable food. Especially after this crisis, a large part of this group of users will become loyal users of Qingcheng."

"This is true."

Jiang Yue deeply believed that if there was no comparison, there would be no harm.

She is also a migrant worker. From her own perspective, she would rather spend an extra five yuan per meal to have a safe and reliable lunch, rather than relying on a random gamble.

The high threshold set by Qingcheng Takeout is actually a firewall.

It is also a guarantee of word-of-mouth.

"So, from the very beginning, Qingcheng Takeout was not targeting all users, but only aimed at cultivating the target customer group of urban white-collar workers. In this case, it would be very important to continue to open Qingcheng Xiaozhu offline stores in the CBD area.

It’s necessary. As for other user groups, just let Moutuan, Nomi and others deal with it.”

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! From the beginning, Zhang Shuo's thinking was very clear.

From a personal point of view, he doesn't even agree with that kind of lifestyle, where you are obviously staying at home, maybe even a couple, but you still have to order takeout.

It's very unhealthy in itself.

No matter how good the takeout is, it is not as healthy as buying and cooking your own food.

Being too lazy is not good either.

And like during working hours, there is nothing you can do about it at noon, you have to eat even if you don’t want to eat.

"So that's it."

Jiang Yue completely understood now, "But if such a statement is released to the outside world, will it affect this round of financing of Qingcheng Group and make some investment institutions retreat?"

After all, from the perspective of an investment institution, we hope that Qingcheng Waimai will be more proactive.

"There will definitely be people who give up, but this can be used as a good opportunity to do another round of screening. Cooperation is itself about seeking like-minded people. If the three views are inconsistent, there is no need to cooperate."

Zhang Shuo is quite confident that even if he talks about liberalizing financing, it does not mean introducing investors indiscriminately.

"Understood!"

Jiang Yue was thoughtful, not sure if Zhang Shuo was using this to test again.

"Is there any official news about the planning of the Germination Industrial Park?" Zhang Shuo talked about another matter.

"It has been approved."

Jiang Yue felt that it was very magical, but he was too sensible to delve into it. Instead, he asked for instructions: "In the next stage, should we organize a design tender to implement this plan?"

"certainly!"

Zhang Shuo immediately instructed, “We will collect outstanding design works from around the world. The themes will focus on smart technology, energy conservation and environmental protection, closed-loop access, the Internet of Things, autonomous driving and other highlights, and strive to turn the Germination Industrial Park into an offline physical unit.

The universe experience area must implement the future ideal elements of the Sprout Group.”

This design bidding is different from the Germination Building and Maili Building, and there is sufficient preparation time.

Of course, we should choose the best among the best.

It’s not that Zhang Shuo worships foreigners. In terms of architectural design, domestic design institutes are really not interested.

"clear!"

Jiang Yue is also fully aware of the status and importance of Germination Industrial Park, and is eager to make it perfect.

In a sense.

Sprout Industrial Park can be regarded as the ideal promised land and dream city for Sprout people.

Who doesn’t yearn for it?

"We should not publicize the news about the implementation of the plan to the outside world and keep a low profile." Zhang Shuo instructed.
