Chapter seven hundred and sixty sixth sharpening knives(1/2)
In December, the weather in the north is bitingly cold;
When pedestrians walk on the road, they wrap their coats tightly around themselves to prevent the cold wind from entering;
Zhang Xuhao spent two yuan to order two takeaways from Qiandu Takeout and Meituan Takeout respectively. Before they had time to be delivered or tasted, he hurried out and stopped a taxi;
As a result, waiting for ten minutes, especially with the north wind blowing, made Zhang Xuhao a little unbearable;
But every time the taxi passed by, the red words "Passengers" were lit up;
Zhang Xuhao's heart felt as cold as the weather.
In desperation, Zhang Xuhao thought of Didi;
As expected, Didi's campaign was effective. In less than a minute, the car had stopped in front of Zhang Xuhao;
When he thought that Didi could be regarded as an industry of Ma Yibo, Zhang Xuhao's body, which was still warm in the car, suddenly felt a little cold.
Just now, Zhang Xuhao received a phone call. This phone call made Zhang Xuhao, who was about to talk about takeout with Mei Tuan and Qiandu takeout, leave in a hurry.
The caller was Kang Jia, another founder of Hungry Bar.
"Mr. Zhang, I just received news that our delivery teams in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other regions require us to increase the price to 1 yuan per order, which is the same as the northern market, otherwise they will no longer deliver";
It was this news that made Zhang Xuhao feel like a thunderbolt;
It has happened once before that they compromised and raised the price by 0.5 yuan. In this way, their expenditures increased a lot;
Now, they are asking for an additional 0.5 yuan, which is simply killing them.
"Lao Kang, didn't you tell them that we had signed a contract before?"
“Besides, if they don’t deliver to us, there’s nothing to do”;
Yes, in these places, I don’t know whether Aunt Qin deliberately ignored it or abided by the previous rule of dividing rivers and governing them, and did not compete here;
This is also the biggest reason why Zhang Xuhao reduced their increase of 1 yuan to 0.5 yuan last time;
They and Hungry Bar complement each other. Without orders from Hungry Bar, they would not be able to survive.
At this time, Zhang Xuhao suddenly thought that Aunt Qin's takeout had its own delivery team, and the incubated employees contracted the delivery in the local area;
In the past, I thought this was a waste of time, effort, and most importantly money;
Unexpectedly, at this time, this policy made Aunt Qin invincible.
Since being forced into the palace last time, Zhang Xuhao has been slowly building an Eleba delivery team, but with little success. One is the short time, and the other is the unwillingness of the existing third-party delivery team;
If Hungry Bar has no other competitors, the existing third-party delivery team will have no choice but to admit it no matter how unwilling it is;
But now, the food delivery industry is changing and turbulent. Let alone being hungry, not even Qiandu Food Delivery and Mei Tuan Food Delivery dare to offend them too harshly;
The only thing they can do is to slowly develop their own delivery team.
Facts have proved that the self-owned distribution system built by Aunt Qin did play a key role at this time;
In the past, they felt that it was ineffective because the labor cost was too high;
Now it seems that it has become an important weight in negotiations.
"I asked someone to find out, it was Aunt Qin's people who came to instigate them to rebel";
"I estimate that this incident of Qiandu Takeout and Mei Tuan Takeout is probably related to Aunt Qin."
Although Kang Jia didn't want to admit it, she had to admit that Aunt Qin had seized this opportunity very well;
"Did Aunt Qin promise them benefits?"
"Yes, Aunt Qin's people promised these delivery agencies that when Aunt Qin comes over after the year, they can be allowed to take over the delivery of Aunt Qin's takeout. At the same time, they are now allowed to take on part of the orders for online vegetable sales in Aunt Qin's store."
Kang Jia was also a little panicked at this time;
Now, they have no bargaining chips. If they don’t agree, Hungry Bar’s takeaway will be paralyzed immediately;
Not to mention that Aunt Qin’s takeout will come after the new year. I guess if their delivery at Hungry Bar is paralyzed, Aunt Qin’s takeout will probably be here right away.
"Let's go up"!
After Zhang Xuhao finished speaking, he realized that Qiandu Takeout and Mei Tuan Takeout were helpless.
At this time, Zhang Xuhao had no intention of convincing them;
There was a fire in my backyard.
…
"Mr. Ma, when will our group's financing start? Those investment institutions have been contacting me these days";
Yi Wei stood in Ma Yibo's office. There was no anxiety on their faces, just the smiles and calmness of winners.
Even Yi Weili didn't expect that Qiandu Takeaway and Mei Tuan Takeaway would be so popular this time;
Even their arrogant Aunt Qin didn't think of it;
It can only be said that everyone wants to be the king who dominates the market;
No one wants to be inferior to others;
Especially seeing the dawn of victory.
"I don't think I'm too anxious about financing. Qiandu Waimai and Mei Tuan Waimai are now competing fiercely";
"If there is no external force, I estimate that I can fight for another few months";
"Now, if we hear about external financing, especially large-scale financing, it is likely that the competition between the two parties will slow down or even turn against us."
“So, let’s slow down the financing matters first”;
"At the very least, wait until the intensity of competition between them decreases";
"Now is the time for them to compete. If we do not consume the strength of both of them, we will have to face a greater counterattack."
What Ma Yibo saw, Yi Weili could also see, otherwise he wouldn't have asked people to light the hungry bar directly.
"I have the same idea. Anyway, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Let's take advantage of this period to recuperate and prepare for war."
"Yes, I have the same idea. After the New Year, it's time to summarize";
"By the way, Mr. Yi, are our previous 2.5 billion almost gone?"
Ma Yibo was not unaware of the group's funds, but he just didn't know them in real time.
"Well, we only have less than 200 million in funds. If we don't get funds, we will probably have a hard time this year";
"Now, the number of employees in our Aunt Qin Group has reached close to 10,000, and the monthly salary alone is more than 80 million yuan";
No one could have imagined that Aunt Qin, who once had only six or seven vegetable shops, would have tens of thousands of people in two years.
This is simply a miracle, a miracle that cannot be replicated.
"I understand, the money problem shouldn't be a big problem. After the competition between Qiandu Waimai and Mei Tuan Waimai comes to an end, we will start financing immediately. You should tell the investors in advance that it is best to complete this financing before the year.
If it really doesn’t work, it will be after the New Year”;
"At this time, we will depend on the competition situation in the north, and it may not be so rigid";
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, please ask Wang Min to prepare for our group's annual meeting this year";
"This matter seems to be the responsibility of the Administration Department, which is subordinate to Mr. Ren";
"Forget it, you can arrange this year's annual meeting";
"Last year I said that this year it would be in the Olympic Sports Center next to it."
Ma Yibo explained clearly what he wanted to express;
The end of the year is a time for individuals and companies to review the past and look forward to the future;
As for development, it is obviously not suitable before the year.
"Okay, I'll arrange this."
"Mr. Yi, we are going to develop in the north next year. How are you doing now in terms of development layout and personnel?"
"Mr. Ma, when I come here this time, I actually want to report this matter to you";
"As for the expansion to the north after this year, I thought we were a little anxious before. We can wait for a while. In this case, we can consolidate the foundation of the south."
"But now, Qiandu Waimai and Mei Tuan Waimai are competing fiercely. After the year, both parties will probably calm down. At the same time, a lot of funds will be consumed. We can take advantage of this gap and go directly north."
"I have discussed with Zhao Changle, Wang Lifen and Feng Ji that during the gap period a year ago, that is, in January, we can develop Aunt Qin's store on a large scale";
"Let Aunt Qin's store open to as many cities as possible in a short period of time";
"We plan to open 300 Aunt Qin stores in the north in January to lay the foundation for the development of Aunt Qin's takeout."
"Among these stores, we only have 10-20 directly operated stores, and the rest are mainly franchised stores";
“Later, our Aunt Qin’s takeaway store settled in a city, and the offline employees of Aunt Qin’s store cooperated with the publicity”;
“Immediately afterwards, our Aunt Qin’s takeaway mobilized all our previous service providers to fully develop it”;
"This development is not to be spread out all over the north at once. Instead, it is deployed in advance, opening three or five areas at one time, and using a huge team of service providers to carry out sweeping local promotion."
"Make sure to open a number of cities and sweep them all within one or two months";
