Chapter 574 Are you hungry?

In fact, there are people doing regional takeout delivery business all the time. 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 that focuses on in-store consumption, the takeout business pays more attention to delivery and delivery speed.

Resource integration in this area is easier to do than group buying business, and the technical content is not high.

You can cooperate 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?

Negotiate a good deal with the merchant, post the product or service information online, generate a text message code after payment, and go to the store for verification. It basically does not rely on manual labor and is not difficult.

But for a takeout delivery business, if there are not enough delivery people, it will be difficult to continue to expand.

Even if you keep negotiating with merchants and get a large number of orders, it's all in vain if you can't deliver them.

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.

Therefore, 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 enough stamina.

Only when there are enough delivery people can they have more ability to obtain orders.

But in this era, delivery people are actually still a part-time job. They are basically hired by businesses and are not considered a serious profession.

There are even some "people's entrepreneurs" who don't want to spend a penny more, so they find ways to let the kitchen apprentices work part-time as delivery persons. As a result, many apprentices have studied in a restaurant for two years and cannot cook, but they can't remember anything.

Therefore, if you want to expand your delivery business, recruiting delivery personnel is a big key.

In 2011, mobile Internet speed increased again.

Domestic shipments of smartphones exceeded 300 million.

The entire market is glowing with vitality, making countless entrepreneurs excited.

But the image of riders on the street delivering goods 24 hours a day, like a boy riding the wind, delivering hot meals to the dining table is almost tantamount to delusion.

There are so many people waiting on the roadside on electric bicycles just to deliver food to you.

This is the problem that lies ahead on the road to development.

The founder of Hungry, Zhang Xuhao, was surfing the Internet in an Internet cafe and could only eat instant noodles after being hungry for a long time, so he came up with the idea of ​​starting a takeout business.

Up to now, the delivery services of three surrounding universities have been established.

It is easier to find a delivery person in college because students have a lot of spare time besides attending classes.

But if we want to expand outward, we must hire people from society to be riders. It is precisely because of this that we have fallen into a bottleneck period.

In fact, it is very easy to recruit a large number of riders, just spend money.

As long as enough is given, there will be no shortage of people.

Therefore, when I am hungry and don’t really need funds, I have no way to keep growing, so I send plans everywhere in an attempt to find investment institutions.

But as Li Changming said, this project looks very expensive at first sight, so most investors will hesitate.

Jiang Qin initially provided delivery services in the experimental field of Linchuan, but until group shopping became nationwide, he did not continue in this sector.

Because he knows very well that if he wants to make it bigger, he will have to burn too much money.

Even if the current group buying ability is very profitable, it will still be daunting when faced with this amount of money.

What's more, you don't have to spend your own money when doing business!

So the best way is to wait for someone to ignite the fire, attract capital, and pool money together to create a bright future, allowing the market share to increase rapidly.

And if you are hungry, in Jiang Qin's eyes, he is the one who ignited the fire.

Before the fire starts, it is impossible for the team to end first.

Because... Pintuan is too strong in the field of life services. If he were to leave directly, many investment institutions would be intimidated.

"Mr. Zhang, how is the venture capital matter going?"

"I went to meet with a few people, 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, seventeen people sat in a room with three bedrooms and one living room.

This is the 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 those who are not ambitious, being a monk and hitting the clock for one day is a very good choice.

If you're done with it, just do it with it. The 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 ​​going hungry.

Because no matter how bad Volkswagen is, it cannot be compared to such a small start-up company. People say that you are riding 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 his work, 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 doesn't have the kind of carelessness, works more seriously, and doesn't 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 try it."

"Then I'll trouble Sister Chen."

"You don't 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 in 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 the Linchuan Chamber of Commerce, this high-quality traditional program of New Year's Eve is held every year.

Linchuan's strategic cooperation brand has now reached its seventh batch. There are many newcomers, 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, the liquid in the glass shook out a bunch of foam.

Liu Xiliang, the boss of Burger King, walked over and gave Jiang Qin a toast.

"Mr. Jiang, why don't you go over and chat?"

"There is just a feeling of loneliness 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 rides a pink girl's electric car to pick up Jiang Qin, with a Rolls-Royce escorting her.

Many people know that Jiang Qin is a arrogant man in the shopping mall, but privately he is actually a lover.

Just like today's business gang party, it's scheduled to start at three o'clock and end at six o'clock.

Good guy, 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 Quick Meals. They 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 served quickly. It is a perfect match for the takeout business.

Because the focus of takeout is to deliver food quickly, which means fast delivery. In addition, Burger King is now a first-line fast food brand and is indeed deeply loved by young office workers.

In fact, the Burger King store in Kyoto has been cooperating with the fast food restaurant for a month, and the sales results are very good, with the turnover directly higher than that in Shanghai.

Seeing how profitable it is, Burger King certainly welcomes such cooperation with both hands.

Moreover, the strategic cooperation agreement of Linchuan Business Gang is only for group purchases in stores, and does not conflict with takeout delivery.
