Chapter 529 Start-up takeaway
Kuai Dian and Excellence Venture Capital have been in talks for about half a month, and the same has happened between Hungry Bu and Dianping.
In the end, the former received a financing amount of almost 5 million, while the latter received about 3 million.
At almost the same stage, other food ordering platforms found interested investment institutions, obtained investment, and quickly began to plan for later development.
As a result, various delivery driver recruitment posters began to be posted all over the place.
The rise of an industry is basically a process of crossing the river by feeling the stones in the early stage. Both the business model and the development direction need to be constantly revised and changed.
No one knows whether their strategies and ideas will fit the market at the beginning.
This is very different from the rise of the group buying industry.
Because the group buying ignited the fire of group buying by copying the group buying, the group buying industry was semi-mature from the beginning.
Therefore, although everyone is a food ordering platform, because everyone has different ideas, the operating models of the platform are also diverse.
Because this thing is like getting commissions from sales. You get more for your hard work, which really gives the strivers a chance to make a fortune.
Because it provides a basic salary and basic insurance, this kind of job is very popular in the labor market.
But no matter which business model it is, more and more people are becoming riders.
“When I get home after a day’s work, I just want to lie down, so who is in the mood to cook?”
Kuaishou Meals, on the other hand, gives riders a basic salary of RMB 1 per month and basic insurance, and the delivery fee is slightly lower. The purpose of this is mainly to attract more users.
Apart from not buying insurance, the amount received is quite conscientious.
Stabilize the platform system, add servers, optimize order-taking procedures, and vigorously develop riders' "free time" so that they can seamlessly connect to the next order after sending an order.
“I don’t want to move when it’s cold, so takeout is my god.”
"Takeaway is definitely the next trend for Internet entrepreneurship!"
Among them, quick-service meals are expanding the fastest.
Hungry No. 1 recruits part-time riders and attracts them with extremely high delivery fees.
Because Zhang Xuhao knows that as the number of orders increases and the number of riders increases, the later planning and deployment are definitely beyond human control.
After receiving the funds, Kuaisui Meal sent all its newly recruited riders and employees to several of the largest residential areas nearby.
"Takeaway is actually cheaper than dine-in? Crazy!"
"Who invented takeout? Damn it, it's so easy to use. This person should win the Nobel Prize!"
If you want to go smoothly on the road to later expansion, technology is the top priority.
In addition to recruiting riders, he spent most of his funds on technology development.
There are signs of a trend, and entrepreneurs are starting to get involved.
In addition to these two companies, there are also late-night snack platforms that specialize in late-night snacks, single-order canteens specifically for working people, and fresh food delivered over short distances.
At the same time, various news about the food delivery industry was stirred up by Toutiao Tonight, and gradually attracted attention on other social platforms.
The development path of Hungry Bu is completely different.
As the popularity of the discussion continues to rise, some Internet startups have begun to follow up.
This thing is like the later VR, shared bikes, metaverse, AI, and short dramas. As long as the hype is hot, it will definitely attract a lot of participants.
And some companies similar to Excellent Venture Capital also quickly followed suit and invested, quickly adding fuel to the fire.
With their small capital, what they are best at is finding companies in the vast sea, and then selling them quickly after they grow.
They don't care who wins in the end, because they are making quick money at a premium.
For example, in the group buying war back then, some websites that would rather die than surrender suffered miserably, such as Tuanbao.com, which was hit by a thunderstorm, Suixin Group, which was attacked from two sides, or LaShou.com, which was reported for financial fraud.
But there are also some companies that were sold during their peak period, and there are not a few who made huge profits.
"Boss, are you hungry after investing in Dianping? Now you can use Dianping 6, and you can also jump to Dianping's in-store service with one click."
"Volkswagen is really evil. It seems that he wants to use the food delivery business to revive his group buying platform."
On the early morning of the New Year's Day holiday, Gu Ming accompanied the little rich woman to stroll in the front square.
People from the group headquarters have also returned to Linda due to the holidays. They are gathering in the Xitian rest area, drinking milk tea and chatting about this matter.
"Then boss, when will we do takeout?"
"Now when I'm hungry, I'm not just in Shanghai, I'm also only in Beijing when I order fast food. We have to endure the loneliness and wait for them to expand outward and lead to the end."
Zhao Jing rubbed her hands: "During the group buying war, these companies were beaten so badly by us. Now that the food delivery field is equivalent to our home court, will they still end up?"
Gu Ming smiled: "QQ is already the social ceiling, isn't Alibaba still stubborn and pushing forward? And Taobao is gaining momentum, isn't Tencent still doing something? How can these big companies be afraid of one?" An ordinary Yanzu."
"That's true..."
"The most important thing is that I poached Uncle Ma's investment manager and used his investment manager to get as much money as he wanted. He must have been so angry that his nose was crooked. He is not short of money. Even if it is to disgust me, I will Gotta end.”
"What he wants is to improve the ecological chain and allow Alipay to have more payment scenarios. He can't stand being lonely."
After hearing this, Kou Jing Lanlan said, "What about Tengxun?"
Gu Ming pursed his lips and said: "Tencent has a role in every industry. If it does poorly, it can afford to lose. If it does well, it will be a new economic growth point."
"That's it."
"The small capital that entered in the early stage just ran away after making a profit. They didn't care who won or lost. But whether they run or not, this industry will eventually be burned."
Gu Ming leaned back in his chair: "The advantage of group sharing is the biggest in the food delivery industry, but if we want to develop such a large market, we must also improve the rider industry. How much money will it cost? I can't bear it, so I have to Attract more people to carry it."
"As the saying goes, if the sky falls, the taller person will squat down and let the shorter person hold up for a while."
Liu Shuran turned his head when he heard the sound and glanced at Gu Ming.
Gu Ming noticed his gaze: "What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing, the boss is kind!"
Kou Jing and Zhao Jing looked at each other: "Isn't it too dangerous to play like this?"
Gu Ming turned around and said, "Wealth is always found in danger. Have you ever heard that the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish?"
"That's true..."
Gu Ming turned to look at Yang Yang: "Yang Yang will continue to follow up and brag for them. What a shock. The food delivery industry may provide tens of thousands of jobs to the society. It is shocking that a food delivery rider can earn over 10,000 yuan a month!"
Yang Yang clenched his fists: "It's not you who's bragging, it's a bit embarrassing."
"This is just the beginning, but the follow-up is exciting. Shocking, I will not squeeze the riders when I am hungry! Shocking, I will not maliciously raise the price of food when I am hungry, and secretly let consumers bear the shipping costs!"
"Are you hungry? How about a quick meal?"
Gu Ming patted the armrest of the chair: "By the time these news are released, Kuai Dian will have already died on the road."
Zhao Jing was stunned for a moment: "Boss, the investment received by Kuaishou Food is not much more than that of Hungry Food, and it is developing very fast."
"It's useless. The boss of Kuai Dian is not as ruthless as the hungry boss. When the size of both parties gradually increases, Kuai Dian will find that its costs will be higher and higher, but the growth rate will be slower and slower. ."
"That's it. It seems that if you want to make money, you have to get rid of your conscience first..."
"It can only be said that the business model of Hungry has more inherent advantages."
As Gu Ming was talking, he suddenly felt thirsty and went to get the milk tea on the table, but found that it was gone.
Then he remembered that while chatting just now, he seemed to have caught a glimpse of his milk tea being secretly taken away by Zhou Xiaoyao.
"Little rich woman, secretly drank my milk tea again?"
Zhou Xiaoyao showed a cold and fair face, then reached out to take out Gu Ming's milk tea from his down jacket and handed it over.
The tea had been ready for half an hour and was still warm.
