Chapter 622 I'm Just a College Student!
The direction of commercial real estate is controlled and cooperated by Vanzhong Group and Qin Group, and Jiang Qin does not participate in decision-making.
After all, with the mall manual 3.0 he gave me, no fool would make a mistake.
He Yijun is not a fool. He is very smart. He can even guess that Jiang Qin wants to steal steel bars. He can also find out that he is the only outsider in the family. For such a cautious person, it is difficult for him to make a mistake.
Jiang Qin's eyes are still on the Internet arena at this time.
Since the collapse of the meal site, Hungry Bu’s market share has begun to recover.
Because after learning that the meal was being targeted by the group, Duan Wenzhao, under the instruction of his aunt, made a decisive decision and packaged his resources, equipment and riders to Hungry Buu in exchange for shares.
The meal was smashed and no one bought it, so this was the most appropriate approach.
And as the old saying goes, the enemy of your enemy is your friend.
However, even if Hungry Bu’s business picks up, its share in the university city market is still slightly lower than that of group booking.
There is no other way. There are a large number of exclusive merchants and exclusive packages for group takeout, and most students also use group grouping to go to the store to watch movies, sing, have dinner, and study in a room.
If we follow this trend, it will only be a matter of time before group grouping unifies the takeout market.
But in early May, a piece of news suddenly changed the situation in the entire food delivery market.
Hlebu received 500 million investment from Alibaba, far exceeding Hlebu’s previous total financing, and Alibaba also became a shareholder alongside Tencent, causing an uproar in the entire investment community.
"Damn it, are the capitals going to join forces?"
"I can see it. Is this aimed at joining a group?"
"Nonsense, it's so obvious, why bother reading? When have you ever seen Alibaba and Tencent join forces?"
"But during the previous Internet conference, weren't there pictures leaked on the Internet, saying that Jiang Qin and Ma Yun were holding their shoulders and chatting throughout the reception? They seem to have a pretty good relationship. Then again, aren't the two horses? A couple with a bad relationship?”
"Chat is just chatting, and business is business. How can we make the company so big and not make money just because of friendship?"
Alibaba’s investment in Hungry Bu caused an uproar and even became a trending topic on Weibo.
Because at this time, I am hungry and I have three shareholders at the same time.
In addition to Alibaba, there is Dianping, and the other is Tencent, which is hidden behind Dianping.
Alibaba and Tencent have not dealt with each other in recent years. This is an open secret.
Tencent wants to invade the e-commerce field and get a piece of the pie, while Alibaba wants to eat the traffic in the social circle and nurture Taobao. These two giants have been secretly competing over the years, and neither one is convinced by the other.
But this time in the takeaway arena, they showed a rare tacit understanding and bet on the same platform.
Although no one mentioned group buying during the investment process, fools also knew that they were planning to join forces to suppress group buying and tear open the gap in the life field. They not only wanted to eat up the takeout market, but also wanted to combine in-store group buying and community group buying. The market is liberated from the clutches of group competition.
Alibaba plans to use Elepay to increase Alipay’s payment scenarios.
Tencent, on the other hand, hopes that Eleh.com can repay Dianping, revitalize its investment in the group buying field, and seize the group buying market share of group buying.
At this time, Hungry is like a halo, with glory everywhere, making other investors in the industry silent.
But upon closer analysis, the choices of Alibaba and Tencent also make sense.
From the group buying era to the takeout era, no one can last a round under Jiang Qin, but if they are hungry and don’t persist, for them, being hungry is not hope.
In other words, compared with the halo of Zhang Xuhao, the founder of Hungry Not, the one who really shines is Jiang Qin.
The size of Pintuan cannot keep up with Alibaba or Tencent. It can only be regarded as a second-tier Internet company. However, in the field of life services, the two giants have nothing to do with it and can only choose to join forces to compete.
If Zhang Xuhao is the warrior chosen by the two major manufacturers, then Jiang Qin is like the evil dragon that has defeated many warriors.
As soon as the news of this financing came out, interviews with Zhang Xuhao appeared all over the Internet.
"Mr. Zhang, some people say that you are very similar to Jiang Qin, who once made a breakthrough in the group buying market. Even the development path of the company is similar. What do you think of this problem?"
"My employees often say this, but I don't want to be the second Jiang Qin, I want to be the first Zhang Xuhao."
"So in the takeout market, are you confident that you can beat group sharing?"
"Our development path is different from that of group-based takeout. What I am hungry for is a professional takeout route. Every three kilometers is set as a business circle, which allows users to get their meals as quickly as possible. It is different from group-based takeout, which is based on business districts. Distribution from spoke centers is not the same approach.”
Zhang Xuhao, who had a bulging wallet and a stiff waist, talked eloquently during the interview with reporters.
After hearing this answer, the reporters looked at each other in shock, thinking that these words were so cruel.
If you are hungry, you should not take the professional takeout route, which allows users to get the food as quickly as possible. The subtext is that group takeout is not professional and the food delivery is slow.
Okay, okay, the smell of gunpowder is everywhere, it seems that the takeaway market is going to be lively again.
Sure enough, after the May Day holiday, Hungry Bu, which held 500 million yuan in capital, quickly came to an end and began to expand.
However, the expansion path he chose exceeded many people's expectations.
In the last money-burning battle, the two had already faced each other head-on once.
Logically speaking, the wealthy Ele.com should not have fought back to grab back the lost university market share, but Zhang Xuhao did not do so. Instead, he turned around in the national market and focused on the white-collar market of Baidu Takeaway.
The first round of funds were invested, Baidu Takeaway was hit hard, and Guo Ming was dumbfounded.
Damn, you said harsh words to Pintuan Takeaway, I thought you were going to pinch him, but you turned around and slapped me, what the hell is this.
But Zhang Xuhao's business thinking is actually correct. If the boss and the second are to have a peak showdown, they have to beat the third first, so that he won't stab you in the back.
"Mr. Guo, Ele.com will not launch the white-collar special event, one yuan for a flash sale."
"Fuck, you are so rich, no hurry, I'll ask the leader."
Guo Ming calmed down and turned to the head office.
Baidu has its own map application and signed a large number of high-quality special delivery riders in the early stage. Logically speaking, it will not be afraid of Ele.
But with Tencent and Alibaba standing in the field, the situation is different.
Guo Ming wanted to fight back, but the company's top management hesitated at this moment.
Baidu Takeaway's current market share is not as good as Ele.me and Pintuan. Now Ele.me suddenly increased its stake, should it continue to follow?
On the bright side, if Baidu Takeaway can take over the entire market, how much benefit can it bring to Baidu?
Unlike Pintuan, they do not have their own supply chain. Even if they take over the market, they will not be able to make a profit in a short time.
At the same time, they have not started to make their own payment applications, let alone e-commerce platforms. If takeaway itself cannot make a profit, then how can this traffic be monetized?
After thinking for a long time, Baidu's CEO Li decided not to follow.
The attitude of the above is ambiguous and reluctant. As the person in charge of Baidu Takeaway, Guo Ming has no choice even if he wants to fight back strongly.
This is Baidu's old problem. It wants to get involved in any new things that come out. The initial investment is very fierce, but it dares not to follow halfway through, and is always timid.
"Mr. Li is not the same type of person as the two Mr. Ma. He is not a radical and does not have the ruthlessness to act all at once. It is normal for Baidu Waimai not to follow."
"Then, what school do you think Jiang Qin belongs to?"
"He belongs to the abstract school."
"?"
"Jiang Qin can be low-key and ruthless. When the food delivery market just started, he was very calm and seemed to have no interest in it at all. But once he decided to move, he was extremely swift and took away half of the market in the blink of an eye. It is really abstract."
"That's true. The high-profile school, such as Mr. Ma of Alibaba, and the forbearing school, such as Mr. Ma of Tencent, are all representatives, but Mr. Jiang of Pintuan is really a school of his own."
The hot group buying market has caused a lot of discussion, and the different styles of each company have also been talked about.
As the most dazzling business in recent years, Jiang Qin has been repeatedly compared by many self-media.
At this time, Ele.com has been advancing straight, constantly encroaching on Baidu's users, and its market share has exceeded Pintuan Waimai in less than half a month.
Yang Xueyu suddenly had nowhere to put the bucket he just bought.
Thinking back to the group buying war, who could get the upper hand from Pintuan, Lashou, Volkswagen, and Nuomi? But Ele.com didn't do it!
This may be caused by the current situation. After all, in the group buying war, Alibaba and Tencent also consumed each other. Now everyone is betting on Ele.com. It is normal to achieve this result with concerted efforts.
However, Pintuan.com was really defeated. Who wouldn't be excited!
The ending of the group buying war actually shook the minds of many people who believed in big capital, and felt that the power of capital could not decide everything.
But now it seems that the power of capital can still play a decisive role.
And Zhang Xuhao also struck while the iron was hot, and immediately held a meeting to make a plan, everything was aligned with KPI, regardless of methods, signing the most merchants and the most riders.
Their operating strategy is to have an operating circle every three kilometers to shorten the delivery time, which requires more merchants to join in.
Therefore, under the high-intensity KPI requirements, a large number of unlicensed stores that dared to cook in residential houses without doing offline business passed the qualification review of Ele.bu, and started business with a beautiful logo.
Ele.bu's online merchants have skyrocketed, with more choices and more users.
At the same time, in Sheshan Manor in Shanghai, Duan Wenzhao and Duan Ying also read the news about Ele.bu, and felt a sense of inner joy.
Yes, they have no meal time, but group buying seems to be no longer arrogant.
What surprised them even more was that Alibaba's investment made the valuation of the entire Ele.bu continue to soar, and the equity they exchanged may not only not lose money, but even make money in the end.
Jiang Qin was busy with his thesis during this period, and he couldn't help sighing after hearing Ye Ziqing's report.
"Damn, it's not quiet at all."
"Just killed one, and another one came. Who still remembers that I'm just a college student!"
