Chapter 579: The Start-Up Food Delivery Industry

Kuai Dian and Excellence Venture Capital have been in talks for about half a month, and the same has been going on between Hungry Bu and Dianping.

In the end, the former received a financing amount of almost five million, while the latter received about three million.

At almost the same stage, other food ordering platforms found interested investment institutions, obtained investment, and quickly began to plan for later development.

Jiang Qin took advantage of the flames that popped up in tonight's headlines and began to burn quickly. In just a few days, various delivery worker recruitment posters were plastered all over the city.

The rise of an industry is basically a matter of trying to cross 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 Suixin’s imitation of group buying ignited the group buying fire, 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.

What Hungry Don’t Recruit is part-time riders, and they use extremely high delivery fees to attract people.

Apart from not buying insurance, the amount received is quite conscientious.

Because this thing is just like getting commissions for sales. You get more for your hard work. It does give strivers a chance to make a fortune.

Kuaishou Meals, on the other hand, gives riders a basic salary of RMB 1,500 per month and a basic insurance, and the delivery fee is slightly lower. The purpose of this is mainly to attract more users.

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.

There are signs of a trend, and entrepreneurs are starting to get involved.

Among them, quick-service meals are expanding the fastest.

Because it provides a basic salary and basic insurance, this kind of job is very popular in the labor market.

After receiving the funds, Kuaisui Meal sent all its newly recruited riders and employees to several of the largest residential areas nearby.

The development path of Hungry Bu is completely different.

In addition to recruiting riders, he spent most of his funds on technology development.

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 delivering one order.

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.

If you want to go smoothly on the road to later expansion, technology is the top priority.

But no matter which business model it is, more and more people are becoming riders.

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.

"Takeaway is actually cheaper than dine-in? Crazy!"

“It’s cold and I don’t want to move, so takeout is my god.”

"Takeaway is definitely the next trend in Internet entrepreneurship!"

“When I get home after a long day at work, all I want to do is lie down, so who is in the mood to cook?”

"Who invented takeout? Damn it, it's so easy to use. This person should win the Nobel Prize!"

As the discussion continues to grow, some Internet startups have begun to follow suit.

This thing is like the later VR, shared bicycles, metaverse, AI, and short dramas. As long as the hype is hot, it will definitely attract a lot of participants.

And some companies like Excellent Venture Capital quickly followed suit and invested, quickly adding fuel to the fire.

With their small capital, what they are best at is fishing for companies in the vast ocean, and then selling them quickly after they grow.

They don't worry about who wins in the end, because they make quick money at a premium.

Just like the original group buying war, some websites that preferred death to surrender suffered miserably, such as Tuanbao.com, which was hit by a thunderstorm, Suixin Tuan, 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 Login, and you can also jump to Dianping's in-store service with one click."

"Volkswagen is really evil. It seems that it wants to use its food delivery business to revive its group buying platform."

On the early morning of the New Year's Day holiday, Jiang Qin accompanied the young 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.

"Boss, the fire has been lit by us. When will we do takeout?"

"Now that I'm hungry, I'm not just visiting Shanghai, I'm also focusing on Kyoto for quick meals. We have to endure the loneliness and wait for them to expand outward and attract more capital."

Tan Qing rubbed his hands: "During the group buying war, the major Internet companies were beaten so badly by us. Now that the food delivery field is equivalent to our home field, will they still end up?"

Jiang Qin 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 a mediocre person?" Wuqi 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, Wei Lanlan said, "What about Tengxun?"

Jiang Qin pursed his lips: "Tencent has a stake in every industry. If it fails, it can afford to lose. If it succeeds, it will be a new economic growth point."

"That's it."

"The small capital that entered in the early stage ran away just to make a profit. They didn't care who won or lost. But whether they run or not, this industry will eventually be burned."

Jiang Qin 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 people." More people came to carry it.”

"There is a saying that if the sky falls, the taller person will squat down and let the shorter person hold up for a while."

Dong Wenhao turned his head when he heard the sound and glanced at Jiang Qin.

Jiang Qin noticed his gaze: "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing, the boss is kind!"

Tan Qing and Wei Lanlan looked at each other: "Is it too dangerous to play like this?"

Jiang Qin 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..."

Jiang Qin turned to look at Lu Feiyu: "Feiyu 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's shocking that a food delivery rider can actually earn more than a month." Ten thousand!"

Luffyyu 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 riders when I am hungry! Shocking, I will not maliciously raise food prices when I am hungry, and secretly let consumers bear the shipping costs!"

"Are you hungry? How about a quick meal?"

Jiang Qin patted the armrest of the chair: "By the time these news are released, Kuai Dian will have already died on the road."

Tan Qing 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 quickly."

"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."

While Jiang Qin 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 Feng Nanshu.

"Little rich woman, secretly drank my milk tea again?"

Feng Nanshu showed a cold and fair face, then reached out and took out Jiang Qin's milk tea from his down jacket and handed it over.

This cup of tea has been ready for half an hour and is still warm.
