Chapter 1330 Stealing the Tower
Seeing Zhang Xu's gaze, Kang Jia, who had been familiar with Zhang Xu for a long time, vaguely guessed what Zhang Xu wanted to say.
"How are we doing takeaway business?" After Zhang Xu's thought burst out in his mind, he could no longer bear it.
Hearing Zhang Xu's words, Kang Jia couldn't help but feel a thrill, then looked at Zhang Xu and said, "Like Meituan?"
"No!"
Zhang Xu shook his head. He knew that their grass-rooted team, the three-legged personnel, were benchmarked against Meituan, supported by several major venture capital giants behind him. It was really an old birthday star who was eating arsenic and just having fun. It was not a heavyweight at all. Even if you have this idea in the future, it was impossible now.
"You only do takeaway business, and you also know that the situation of takeaway in Shanghai is now impossible for Meituan to develop here!" Zhang Xu's mind was extremely active at this time. Meituan is now thinking about overwhelming Lashou. She is preparing to attack the Yangcheng headquarters of Lashou.com's old nest, and is preparing to come to a center to blossom. As for Shanghai, they may not care at all. Zhang Xu is preparing to make a time difference.
It is hard to say what the future will be, but putting up the shelves first. Zhang Xu feels that the cost in the early stage will not be too high. The college where he works is naturally a big shot who can help him with it, but it’s just a few meals. After all, Meituan has put up the shelves.
Kang Jia also began to think about it with Zhang Xu, "We can raise some money and find a school to raise some, but the manpower is probably not enough!"
The colleges and universities they are in will also support some of the funds for those who like to mess around. Although they are not much, they are better than nothing. The most important thing about takeaway is the manpower. Looking at Meituan’s takeaway business, it accounts for almost a quarter of Meituan’s entire.
"Look for a university promotion alliance!" Zhang Xu gritted his teeth and said. There is naturally a university promotion alliance in Shanghai, and it is also the headquarters of a university promotion alliance. It is nominally no less than the headquarters of the Yenching University Promotion Alliance. The entire Shanghai university group has basically joined the university promotion alliance.
Meituan is also using university promotion alliances. They can be used. Zhang Xu feels why he can't use it here. Moreover, with the support of the university promotion alliance in Shanghai, he can not only get human support, but also get some development funds, and at most give up some equity to the Shanghai University Promotion Alliance.
As far away from Yanjing, Meituan, which received huge amounts of venture capital, began to capture land on a larger scale.
Wang Yan borrowed a large number of people from Chuke Technology, and at the same time applied for personnel from Chuke Technology's major city branches, SG Games, and Renren Technology's operation departments stationed in major cities, and began to help Meituan expand its local business as a local tyrant.
In addition, the University Promotion Alliance has begun to support Meituan. Every time Meituan arrives in a city, the local University Promotion Alliance has fully supported it, which has allowed Meituan to occupy the market at a crazy speed. At this speed, it is expected to cover 30 cities in China next month. By the middle of the year, it can occupy more than 100 domestic markets, that is, all first- and second-tier markets are covered by Meituan!
Chen Chu wanted to slow down Meituan, but Meituan, which was running wildly, could not slow down. Driven by Chuke's huge resources in technology, KPCB and Sequoia's huge investment, Meituan used burning money to exchange for speed.
Behind Meituan, Lashou.com, Tuanbao, etc., who are unwilling to use as a set of things, are also burning money to catch up. This is a scene that has never happened in the history of the Internet industry. Even the technological competition in the past has never been so crazy.
However, Meituan was preparing to have a head-on collision with Lashou.com. It was far from expected that the most unexpected Shanghai, with the support of Google, another group buying website was quietly emerging and was sharpening its knives and ready to take action.
Dianping, which received Google investment, finally slowly began to transform commercially, but with its reputation and user years, Dianping quickly occupied the group buying market in Shanghai and crushed a number of competitors out of the Shanghai market.
Like Xu Ming, the takeaway industry, which has not been valued by Meituan and the group buying market, has also ushered in a new disruptor in Shanghai. In less than a week, the grass-roots team that Zhang Xu and Kang Jia tinkered with were launched, and a blue logo also appeared. Although the meaning of this logo is a minimalist style, what cannot be concealed is too poor and the funds are really insufficient.
When Meituan was in a state of flawless south, a blue logo "Ele.me" began to be popular in major universities in Shanghai. Compared to the past when the meal calls were busy, the taste was poor after placing an order, and even if you curse, you could only hold it in your own hands. Now, on a simple takeaway website, you can order food and review the purchased meals. Even if the takeaway website is still simple, the delivery time is not timely, and other problems, there is no second one, which makes Xiaolan Station quickly popular in the Shanghai market.
Since the second half of last year, both the Internet industry and the technology industry have been turbulent and uneasy, and various mergers and acquisitions have emerged one after another. The entire technology industry knows that it has entered a new era and the era of giants is coming.
But I didn’t expect that the competition would be so fierce this year. Major Internet giants are constantly consolidating their own markets, squeezing their opponents’ living space, and then constantly entering new fields through mergers and acquisitions.
But on the other hand, the rise of the group buying model represents the emergence of new markets on the Internet. Countless companies that may enter the 10 billion US dollars club in the future are constantly emerging. For countless technology industries and investment industries, these are all what makes them crazy. The myth of technology wealth is still constantly being staged, and it is even crazy about it in the past!
Not only in the field of technology, but also in other fields. All industries are experiencing huge shocks and changes. Some emerging companies are beginning to emerge, while others are in decline. Some have begun to establish industry empires. If they want to build the world's largest luxury empire, LVMH Group has also accelerated its acquisition this year.
The LVMH headquarters in Paris is the old nest of the LVMH Group and the center of the luxury empire in the world. It is also a place that countless women yearn for. The LVMH logo hanging outside the building announces that there are 75 top luxury brands that make countless women scream, from fashion, cosmetics, to watches, jewelry, red wine, etc. Most people come in to the LVMH headquarters to buy all the brands of products. When they come, they drive BMW. When they go out, they basically have to take the subway. Don’t ask where BMW is, but if they ask, it’s LVMH to help send subway tickets!
As the group headquarters of LVMH, although the headquarters in Paris is not as luxurious as the headquarters in North America and as stylish as the headquarters in Tokyo, after entering, the interior decoration is also extremely luxurious, and the details are even more ingenious, all of which are from top masters.
The entire LVMH headquarters reveals luxury and fashion everywhere, of course, there is no need to mention the insiders' dress. Even if they don't know how to dress up, they have basically become at the forefront of fashion trends when they leave their jobs. Every year, a large number of people want to enter the LVMH Group, and even during internships, they are selected from tens of thousands of people. You can imagine how the people inside are.
However, as the headquarters of LVMH Group, through luxury and fashion, like other companies, it is full of performance pressure, and there are hurried figures everywhere. As for designers and operators, there is no need to mention it. For the design and promotion of new products, I don’t know how much my hair has been pulled.
"The first quarter of this year has not been completed. LVMH's revenue has exceeded the same quarter last year, reaching 5 billion. The revenue in the first half of this year is expected to exceed 11.5% in the same period!"
After the vice president of LVMH's marketing and marketing talked, the entire LVMH headquarters conference room breathed a sigh of relief, and then a burst of applause quickly rang out.
Bernard Arnault, sitting in the first place, nodded slightly. Seeing Bernard Arnault's expression, the person in charge who was reporting his work breathed a sigh of relief.
Bernard Arnault, who is thin and not tall, is not only in the luxury industry, but also makes countless brands afraid of his ruthless means. In LVMH, no one dares to disobey his orders. No matter how historical and famous a brand is, as long as it cannot bring benefits to LVMH, it will be abandoned by Bernard Arnault, let alone those of them.
Whether it is those designers or managers, once they anger Bernard Arnault, their entire career will basically be over. Apart from being hidden and disappeared into the entire industry, there is basically no second way. Even if Dior's chief designer who resounds in the luxury industry is fired and kicked out of Dior, it is just a call from Bernard Arnault. Even when a reporter calls to inquire, he realizes that he has been fired and his methods to treat his opponent Bernard Arnault have always been extremely fierce. This has been witnessed in the luxury industry!
He looked up at the meeting room and said, "The profits of the entire LVMH are mainly concentrated in LV, Dior, Guerlain, and mainly rely on industries such as wine, perfume, jewelry, cosmetics, etc., but industries such as fashion and leather products have been sluggish for two consecutive quarters!"
Bernard Arnault's voice was not heavy, but the people in the conference room couldn't help but tremble. LVMH Group involved many industries, not only various luxury brands, but also retail stores, LVMH also involved.
With so many industries and brands, even if LVMH and Bernard Arnault are powerful, they cannot make all profits. It is already powerful enough to achieve most of the profits.
Among them, some industries are barely balanced and even lose money. This is why they continue to acquire new brands, which is to rely on the profits of new brands to bring new revenue. Not everyone likes old brands.
The fashion and leather business has been reduced in profits for several consecutive quarters in the LVMH Group, which is normal in the entire luxury goods industry. The Gucci brand, which is not inconsistent with Bernard Arnault, has continued to decline in performance in recent years, and LVMH's performance has been the only one.
But for Bernard Arnault, these are far from satisfying. Under the eyes of Bernard Arnault, the person in charge of the operations of major LVMH brands could only stand up.
Chapter completed!
