Chapter 510: Recruiting Cheng Zhu
Cheng Zhu and Zhang Xuhao took the company's four-seater business car to the Sands Hall.
When walking in, some passers-by recognized Cheng Zhu and asked to take a photo with him.
Dog men are naturally down-to-earth and welcome everyone who comes.
But when taking the photo, Zhang Xuhao who was standing next to him was also included in the photo.
The ignorant and enthusiastic Hao brother laughed and joked: "Mr. Cheng is very well-known now. It's easy for people to recognize him wherever he goes, right?"
In fact, he has appeared in public many times, been on the news many times, and accepted countless interviews.
But the probability of being recognized when walking on the street is still very low.
There's nothing we can do about it. Cheng Zhu is so handsome like a big star, and his handsomeness is quite unique, making people remember him at a glance.
Just kidding, when we posted the photos all over the internet, the hot search term was: Not inferior to Hu Ge!
The two young entrepreneurs sat down in the restaurant while teasing and joking with each other.
Zhang Xuhao didn't know that the appetizers hadn't even been served yet, but the photo taken by a "passerby" had already been posted online.
Then, the marketing accounts that had been arranged long ago began to take action.
This marketing account started to popularize science. The little fat man next to him who looked like Cheng Zhu’s assistant was actually Zhang Xuhao, the founder of Hungry?!
A term began to quietly climb up the Weibo hot search list. Although it was temporarily at the bottom of the list, its hot search ranking was gradually rising - [Are you hungry? Pomelo tea].
Nowadays, the vigorous [takeout war] has already begun.
Many people have taken advantage of the major food delivery platforms.
Forget about spending a few dollars on takeout. Some people have even experienced spending a few cents or even a penny on takeout!
For many users today, food delivery platforms are a symbol of cheapness and convenience.
However, pomelo tea is a high-end product with high price and in short supply.
Therefore, the appearance of these two words in the same hot search term is actually very eye-catching.
"Shit, Yuzucha is moving in. Are you hungry?"
"The bosses all showed up at the Sands Hall in Hangzhou together. It feels like they want to cooperate!"
"So can I get some benefits from Yuzucha?"
"The pomelo tea shop is already too busy, how can we take care of takeout?"
"Why not? See how we can talk!"
"Are you hungry? I order you to bleed profusely!"
"It's so funny, you guys really don't understand anything, right? Do you know how much money these food delivery platforms spend every day? Do you know how much the subsidies are? You are so ignorant!"
"Hahaha, Cheng Zhu is so handsome!"
In the Sands Hall, Zhang Xuhao and Cheng Zhu were halfway through their meal when he received a WeChat message from a company employee.
After reading it, he looked up at Cheng Zhu.
"Mr. Cheng, the photo just now seems to have been leaked, and we are on the hot search."
Cheng Zhu casually picked up food with chopsticks and said, "I'm used to it."
It can be said to be full of pressure.
Many male celebrities in the entertainment industry can’t make it to the hot search list, and Cheng Zhu is tired of it.
He also sighed and said, "Now, even the smallest things can make it to the hot search on Weibo."
This bastard pretends to be cool while whitewashing himself.
After saying that, he glanced at Zhang Xuhao and said, "Today I am meeting with Mr. Zhang. I think this will at least be in the top ten of the trending searches."
"It's already the eighth most searched topic." Zhang Xuhao smiled.
He didn't think about it too much, nor would he delve into it too deeply, because it was actually meaningless.
But for him, this hot search on Weibo has both advantages and disadvantages.
The benefit is, of course, that [Are You Hungry] gained a huge amount of exposure, and he didn’t spend a penny in the process.
The downside is that MiTuan and Baidu Waimai will definitely be unable to sit still. When they see this hot search, they will probably start to get anxious immediately, and the competition with friendly competitors will enter a white-hot stage.
Today’s pomelo tea has this kind of content!
Just a small photo made Zhang Xuhao realize how terrifying the current traffic of Youcha and Cheng Zhu is!
Cheng Zhu wanted him to experience this personally.
We should also let Zhang Xuhao’s friendly competitors open their eyes!
When the platform reaches its peak, the platform is naturally the father and the merchants are the sons.
But it’s too early now!
The best merchants like Cheng Zhu are very confident!
"Want me to move in?"
"Come and lick it!"
After dinner, Cheng Zhu sent Zhang Xuhao to the hotel where he was staying tonight, and then he returned to Xinhang Apartment.
With the development of Yuzu tea now, he can actually become a half-hands-off boss.
He had told Shen Qingning before that he would hand over a lot of work for Youcha to her in the future, and it was not just empty talk.
This is indeed a business worth tens of billions, enough to make him and those around him financially free, but it is certainly incomparable to the short video platform.
"But I will definitely take a part in the [Takeaway War] that has shocked the whole country." Cheng Zhu smiled.
The reason is simple, this is related to the future layout of short video platforms.
[Local life services] This field is a battleground for everyone.
Internet giants couldn't help but get involved.
Short video platforms also have unique advantages in the local area, and many people like to watch people from the same city.
You will find that as Tik Tok develops, it begins to involve more and more fields.
For example, Douyin Mall, Douyin Group Buying, and Douyin Takeout.
As early as 22 years ago, Douyin had reached a cooperation with Ele.me.
In addition, we have also reached cooperation with [Dada], [SF Express], [Shanfeng Express], etc.
For Cheng Zhu, his short video platform is still in the gestation stage and has not yet been officially launched.
However, some plans have already quietly planted their seeds.
He never does things haphazardly. Some of the business areas he is involved in may seem unrelated, but in fact they can be connected together in the end.
"Of course, we have to take it one step at a time in the future, as there will be countless variables."
"But there's no harm in making some plans early."
He has not yet made a complete decision on which side to stand on.
But he is very clear that in the next few months, there will be a critical node that will affect the final outcome of the [Takeaway War]!
However, as long as he wants, he can change this node and turn the tide!
He is now sitting on the sofa in his Xinhang apartment, chatting with his girlfriend Lin Lu.
"Have you reached an agreement with Are You Elephant?" Lin Lu was a little curious when he saw the trending search.
"No, you little idiot, you think too simply. How can we finish everything today?" Cheng Zhu typed.
He thought to himself: Ningning would never ask such a question.
Lin Lu immediately replied with an emoticon package, which was a GIF of herself beating up a pig doll with the words "Cheng Zhu" written on it.
Cheng Zhu looked at the emoticon package, a smile appeared on his face, and his mood became a little better.
He thought to himself: But Lulu is cuter than the dead tsundere.
The two chatted like this, and Lin Lu asked, "So you're free tonight?"
"Yes, how could it be possible that everything would be alright today?"
"What else?"
"Wait for Mi Tuan and Baidu to contact me. Just wait and see. They won't be able to hold back tonight." Cheng Zhu typed angrily.
Nowadays, time is the most important thing.
If you don't hurry up, you will have to bear the consequences of any changes.
What is needed in business war is speed, accuracy and ruthlessness!
As he expected, after the news was released, Wang Xin of [Mi Tuan] could no longer sit still.
This man, nicknamed "Little Jack Ma" because of his looks, felt a strong sense of urgency.
“Eating a meal can become the sixth most searched topic?” Wang Xin frowned deeply.
Yes, now the entry has jumped from the eighth to the sixth most searched topic.
This traffic is so terrifying!
More importantly, Wang Xin looked at the comments online and found that most netizens were looking forward to the entry of Youcha into the food delivery platform.
He could understand the reason for this.
This old hand, who had failed in many entrepreneurial attempts before starting MiTuan, had endless admiration for Cheng Zhu.
The reason is simple - this kid is like me!
No, this kid is better than me!
The last person to have such an idea was the veteran king Yue Dongyi.
He first thought that Cheng Zhu was very similar to him when he was young, so he dared to do it.
After interacting with him for a while, he felt that Cheng Zhu was far superior to him when he was young in every aspect.
But Wang Xin is different.
Right from the start, he felt that Cheng Zhu was much stronger than he was when he was younger!
The reason is simple. This "Little Jack Ma" has seen all of Youcha's recent series of outrageous operations.
If you study it carefully, you will find that Cheng Zhu's operations are somewhat similar to the rise of [Mi Tuan], but more comprehensive!
During the [Thousands of Group Buying Wars], there were no less than 6,000 group buying companies participating in the battle!
[Mi Tuan] chose to develop slowly, avoid big cities, and take the route of "surrounding the cities with the countryside".
This is actually consistent with the approach of [Mingcha] and has the same purpose.
However, Mingcha has never thought of conquering first- and second-tier cities, while [Mi Tuan] is determined to win and regards the big cities as the final decisive battle. He will make another attack after he develops well!
But what did Cheng Zhu do in the milk tea industry?
He himself called it the "upper and lower" tactic.
[Yuzu Tea] and [Ming Tea] attacked from both sides, leaving no way for friendly competitors to survive.
After Wang Xin had a better understanding of it, he had only two words in his mind: "Wonderful!"
He couldn't imagine that this was something a college student could do.
Wang Xin even once suspected whether there was an expert guiding Cheng Zhu?
But after some understanding, he rejected the idea.
In fact, judging from the status in the industry and the size of the company, the current [MiTuan] is better than [Are You Elephant].
After all, takeout is only a part of Mituan, but it is everything for Are You Hungry?
After seeing the hot search, Wang Xin no longer planned to let Murong Jun, one of the co-founders, to connect with Cheng Zhu.
He planned to meet Cheng Zhu in person and show respect to him.
Yes, Wang Xin also values youcha, but what he values more is Cheng Zhu!
He wanted more than just grapefruit tea.
He also wanted Cheng Zhu, and he wanted to recruit him under his command.
