Chapter 587 The Firecracker Girl
On New Year’s Eve and the first day of the new year, Jeju is filled with the sound of firecrackers.
Although there are repeated warnings not to allow the setting off of firecrackers in the urban area, there are still many people who set off firecrackers secretly because the management is not strict.
Red confetti is spread on the snow, the red and white colors complement each other, and it is extremely festive.
This atmosphere continued until the third day of the Lunar New Year, when the festive atmosphere began to gradually fade away.
It seemed like a magnificent performance was coming to an end, and life soon returned to normal, which made people sigh.
On New Year's Eve, Qin Ziang prepared a truckload of fireworks and sent them to the riverbank, both large and small, so that Feng Nanshu played with them until the morning of the fifth day. There were still three firecrackers and a bundle of double-kick firecrackers in her medium-sized LV handbag.
A cool and aloof sister, with a cold expression, thinking about going out to set off firecrackers every day, there is really a kind of alternative contrast beauty...
"Jiang Qin, go set off the firecrackers."
On the morning of the sixth day of the New Year, Feng Nanshu put on a down jacket and wrapped himself thickly, leaving only a pair of clear eyes exposed, like a timid cat.
Jiang Qin came up to her and kissed her: "You weren't like this before, you're so cool!"
Feng Nanshu stared at him for a long time: "Actually, I used to be naughty."
"You still know how naughty you are. Have breakfast first."
“Oh.”
After breakfast, Jiang Qin took Feng Nanshu downstairs and set off firecrackers in the snow, attracting a large group of children.
Uncle Sanda's shop opened early. Although there was not much business, there were many people coming and going, greeting and passing cigarettes.
He stood on the side of the road smoking a cigarette, squinting at the two people, his dark face full of wrinkles as he smiled.
These two people are about to have babies, but they are still like babies.
Jiang Qin was standing on the side of the road at this time. He let go of Feng Nanshu's hand and let her go by herself. He looked around and found that many people were starting to prepare to return.
Some loaded a bunch of things into the car, and some were pulling suitcases out.
Most of these people work outside their hometowns and need to go back early to pack up and prepare to resume work.
"Uncle Qing, are you going back so early?"
"Yes, the rent has increased again this year. I moved out before the New Year, so I have to go back early to find a house, otherwise I won't be able to make it in time for the construction. The next time I come back, I may have to wait until you and Nan Shu's wedding."
"Who said we're getting married this year?"
"Hey, that's what everyone is saying. It's spread all over the neighborhood."
Jiang Qin narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Feng Nanshu who was squatting on the ground, and found that she had a scared face and silently looked away, as if everything had nothing to do with her.
Uncle Qing smiled, waved goodbye to Jiang Qin, and then embarked on his journey back south to work.
In the resettlement community of Hongrong Home, more than half of the people have moved here from rural towns, and not many of them have stable jobs like Yuan Youqin and Jiang Zhenghong.
Most of them go out to big cities to make money and don't have much time to stay at home.
As more and more people return, takeout orders in first- and second-tier cities have begun to increase continuously.
Before and after the New Year, this market seemed to be brewing a powerful force, and gradually began to flourish at the end of the Spring Festival.
Especially the number of registrations for food delivery drivers has skyrocketed, just like a reservoir opening to release floodwaters.
This gap between the New Year and the New Year is actually not surprising.
During the Chinese New Year, you sit at home and listen to others bragging about how they made thousands of dollars or bought a new house this year.
If you don't make any money, you'll inevitably feel unbalanced and always want to do something big in the new year.
Coupled with the hype about the food delivery industry from a number of media outlets including Tonight’s Headlines, Tencent News, and Weibo, there are indeed quite a few people who decided to deliver food at the beginning of the year.
Taking advantage of this industry boom, the business scope of several major platforms has begun to expand infinitely.
Nuomi.com, owned by Baidu, has directly circled five cities at the beginning of the year, and various online and offline advertisements have continued to spread, recruiting food delivery riders while promoting the app.
Koubei Takeaway, owned by Alibaba, began to process several apps it acquired years ago and quickly took root in the surrounding cities of Jiangcheng, Xingcheng and Yongcheng.
However, the one that is growing the fastest and most steadily is Are You Hungry?
Not only is the number of his riders growing extremely fast, but the delivery time is also getting shorter and shorter. Although the discounts he offers cannot compare with those of others, he has almost all other advantages.
In the food delivery industry, delivery speed itself is a key factor.
Because of the slow delivery, the taste of the takeout will be affected to a great extent.
Moreover, most people order takeout because they don’t have time. If they have to wait for an hour, there is no need to order takeout.
Zhang Xuhao felt that the time was almost ripe, so he quickly began to plan in Kyoto, Shenzhen and Guangdong.
At this time, Tencent's investment in Ele.bu was finally finalized, which further accelerated the wild growth of this platform.
In just half a month, the business of the three platforms gradually covered more than 70 cities, and the total number of registered riders exceeded 100,000.
Among them, Ele.me has a presence in 15 cities. Although not as many as the other two, its number of riders accounts for two-fifths.
As large companies went out of business one after another, the development of Ele.bu was not suppressed at all. Instead, it had a momentum of soaring. This gave Zhang Xuhao and Chen Jiaxin a strong sense of confidence that almost made them float.
"Ele.bu's advantage lies in their order dispatching system, which is very efficient. We should increase investment in this area and optimize the rider side."
"In addition to the optimization of the dispatching system, the most critical thing is the publicity efforts."
Robin and Luo Ping, former regional managers of Lashou.com, joined Koubei.com after Lashou.com collapsed.
Because of their mature O2O market experience, the development of Koubei Takeout has always been planned by the two of them.
In addition, Alibaba also directly parachuted in a person who came from a Chinese company, Guo Liang, to lead the entire project.
"Mr. Zhang from Hungry is young, but he has strong business capabilities."
"Today's young people are all characters that cannot be underestimated..."
The winter vacation is coming to an end soon, and the spring flowers in March are beginning to wake up gradually.
Following Chen Jiaxin's suggestion, Ele.me, which has a large number of riders, began to imitate Dianping's early tactics and launched a one-yuan flash sale.
The entire food delivery industry has officially entered the stage of competing for users.
To be honest, the development speed of this industry has actually exceeded the expectations of many people.
Because when the group buying industry first started, its rapid development speed was astonishing.
After all, there were thousands of group buying websites on the market at that time. With more people joining in, the market developed abnormally after burning money, so it made sense that it was so rapid.
However, the development of the takeout industry is even more rapid than that of the group buying industry.
The reason is that takeout has gradually become a necessity for people nowadays, and the smartphone market is also developing rapidly.
The takeaway business can be said to have all three: the right time, the right place, and the right people.
At this time, Jiang Qin had already brought Feng Nanshu back to school. As soon as they entered the school gate, they saw the blue promotional poster of "Are You Hungry?"
Linchuan is a second-tier city after all. Especially in recent years with the development of group buying, the consumption level here has been rising year by year. It is not surprising that it will be targeted by food delivery companies.
Besides, Ele.me was built on the basis of the university town, so it is not surprising that they would think of promoting their business in the university town.
Jiang Qin parked the car in front of the girls' dormitory, took down Feng Nanshu's luggage, and also picked up two large bags of things.
All of this was prepared by Yuan Youqin, including food, drinks, and clothes, all of varying kinds.
"There's a meeting at headquarters this afternoon, and everyone in the class will have dinner together in the evening, so I won't eat with you."
"Will we meet again tonight?"
"Come over to kiss you tonight."
Feng Nanshu held her breath after hearing this, thinking that her brother's disloyalty was getting worse and worse, and now he didn't even want to act anymore.
Then she nodded obediently, as if waiting to be kissed, waved her hand, and ran upstairs with her things.
Gao Wenhui and her friends had already been squatting in the dormitory, some were watching TV series, some were preparing graduation thesis. When they saw Feng Nanshu coming back with bags, they immediately surrounded him.
Every time school starts, they know that Feng Nanshu’s mother-in-law will bring her a lot of delicious food, and this time was no exception.
At this time, Jiang Qin changed direction and drove to the group headquarters to hold a meeting with employees on new goals for the new year.
The group buying supply chain continues to be laid out to provide source supply services to more merchants. Most importantly, they want to make group buying takeout a success.
This was the goal he set for himself before graduation.
In other words, they have to become number one in the industry within half a year, which means they have to do both entry and harvesting at the same time.
(ps: I'm asking for monthly tickets. I have something to do at noon. I have to go visit an old man. I'm missing 400 words, so I'll make up for it in the afternoon chapter. In addition, I plan to reorganize the outline, with the goal of slightly speeding up the business rhythm. I'm asking for monthly tickets. Monthly tickets are most valuable at the beginning of the month. I kowtow to you all.) (End of this chapter)
