Time never stops, and in the blink of an eye, half a month has passed, and the military training is over.
Those boys and girls who didn't like wearing makeup and were frugal got tanned to a dark brown, and people who didn't know them might have thought they were international students from Africa.
The students who applied sunscreen fared much better. At lunchtime, Chen Ze was looking at a message from Wang Kaicheng on his phone, telling him about the company's recent developments.
A fragrant breeze wafted over, and he saw Wang Siyu sitting down opposite him.
"Chen Ze, you don't have class this afternoon, how about you come shopping with me?"
He refused without even thinking: "I'm busy even if I don't have classes, I don't have time to go shopping with you."
"You're a college student, what are you so busy with? Don't you even have time to date?" Wang Siyu asked, dissatisfied.
“I’m different from other male classmates. Dating is secondary to me. Making money is my main goal. I don’t care if others love me or not. As long as I make money, I believe that even a female ghost like Nie Xiaoqian will fall in love with me.”
The male classmate eating at the next table heard this, put down his chopsticks and glared at him angrily. He swore that if this were outside, he would have dumped the bowl he was holding on the boy's head.
Damn it, have you ever considered how I, a single dog, feel about this? He was thinking to himself: This beautiful lady doesn't like shopping, but I do! Why don't you ask me to go with you?
Wang Siyu pouted: "Since you say so, I'm going with you this afternoon. I want to see what you're busy with."
After finishing his meal, Chen Ze slung his backpack over his shoulder and headed out of the school. Wang Siyu followed him eagerly. When he reached the school gate...
Unable to hold back, she asked, "Class monitor, I'm not going shopping, why are you following me?"
"We're not in the classroom now. Call me Siyu. I'm going to stick with you. You're not getting rid of me today... Humph!"
Faced with this tagalong, Chen Ze reluctantly got into the back of the Audi, and Wang Siyu, not to be outdone, went around to the other side and sat down.
At 2:10, the car stopped in front of the Nanshan Building. After Chen Ze and his companion got out of the car, they went straight into the building.
Then, the two took the elevator and quickly arrived at the 21st floor. As they entered the company, many employees greeted them politely.
When he saw Wang Kaicheng's secretary, Yang Jiali, he immediately called out, "Secretary Yang, pass on the message and have all management staff attend a meeting in the conference room."
"Okay, boss."
Yang Jiali swayed her big buttocks as she left.
"Chen Ze, do you like women with big butts? I've seen several women with big butts."
"No, Wang Siyu, can you be normal for once? I'm here for a company meeting, not to look at women's butts. What do I care if they have big butts? They're not people I hired."
Wang Siyu laughed and said, "I was just asking casually, don't get agitated."
Chen Ze pointed to the reception room: "Wang Siyu, go and rest in the reception room for a while. I have to go to a meeting. I'll come find you after the meeting."
"Okay, then you go ahead and get busy. Remember to come find me after the meeting; I'll be waiting for you in the living room."
At this moment, Wang Kaicheng's secretary, Yang Jiali, came to him and said, "Boss, all the senior executives have arrived and are just waiting for you."
Chen Ze nodded, then turned and went to the conference room with Yang Jiali.
Upon arriving at the conference room, he sat down in the head seat.
Chen Ze looked at Li Ziming, the head of the software development department, on his right and asked, "Minister Li, is there any lag or stuttering issue with our food delivery platform app right now?"
"Boss, our current version 1.0 only has 500 merchants in Shenzhen, and the traffic is not very high, so there has been no lag yet."
"There are few people now, but there will definitely be more in the future, so you need to start developing version 2.0."
"Okay, boss."
"Mr. Wang, how many orders do we receive per day so far?"
"Boss, our main operating locations now are university campuses, office buildings, and high schools. We receive about 10,000 orders per day throughout Shenzhen."
Chen Ze nodded: "This data is good, but we still need to keep working hard. Mr. Wang, we can just copy Ele.me's business model."
He felt that copying it verbatim was fine, and then he would add some of his own creative touches.
"Boss, copying is very simple. I'll arrange for someone to do it."
"Which cities has Ele.me expanded to now?" Chen Ze continued to ask.
Wang Kaicheng replied, "They covered Shanghai last year, and this year they have expanded to the area around Hangzhou, but they are only covering first- and second-tier cities."
You should know that when Ele.me's CEO Zhang started his business, he only had a mere one million yuan. He invested ten million yuan into Panda Takeout, and now he has forty-two million yuan. He believes that he started from a higher point than CEO Zhang and is definitely entitled to the biggest slice of the pie.
As for Meituan, it is still waging a group-buying war, and Chen Ze feels that it is necessary to accelerate its expansion.
"Mr. Wang, your task now is to cover all cities above the fourth tier in Dongguang with our stations within two months. If the ten million in the company account is spent, call me and I will immediately inject more funds."
"Okay, boss."
Chen Ze thought for a moment and then said, "In addition, don't just go to schools and office buildings. You can also go to places like residential areas, industrial zones, and high-end residential buildings. Print more flyers and have people go to these places to promote the product. Also, spend some money to place advertisements on the Pearl River Channel."
“Boss, this kind of advertising might cost over a million yuan a month, which is a considerable expense,” Wang Kaicheng analyzed.
Chen Ze said with a serious face: "Don't be afraid to spend money. The most important thing is to gain a foothold. I will take care of the money. Your task is to cover the entire province within two months."
Next, Chen Ze instructed the market expansion department to accelerate its efforts to get more merchants on the Panda Takeaway APP and reduce the company's original 30% profit share to 20%.
After a month of advertising, Panda Takeout's brand awareness gradually increased, and the number of users continued to grow.
Looking at the company's data reports, Chen Ze felt a great sense of accomplishment and believed that it wouldn't be long before they could take the next step.
He knew that to remain competitive in the fiercely competitive food delivery market, he needed to continuously innovate and improve, and also figure out where to make more money to support the Panda Delivery platform, because such companies burn through cash very quickly in their early stages.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Ze convened his team members to discuss how to further improve the user experience.
People offered various suggestions, such as launching new promotional activities, optimizing the delivery process, and strengthening cooperation with merchants.
Chen Ze listened carefully to everyone's opinions and, in light of market demand and the company's actual situation, formulated a series of development plans.
