Chapter 630: Part-time Business Startup is a Great Success
I don’t know whether it was because the power of Feng’s company was divided or because he heard too much news from Cai Ming, Feng Shirong was very silent for a while.
During these days, being hungry is the worst possible thing.
According to Burger King's takeaway data, their order volume plummeted by 30% in the early stage, and then dropped by another 20%. So far, it has only remained half.
Because most consumers no longer trust Ele.me, when they order food on this platform, the dirty and messy environment always flashes before their eyes.
Food is meant to be eaten. It is acceptable if it has no nutrition and no taste, but it is really unacceptable if it is dirty.
Although some consumers will stay for the big discounts, the number of complaints within the platform has increased significantly.
Because when you don’t do one thing well, consumers will think that there is something fishy about everything you do.
"It's not surprising that this wouldn't happen when they were hungry. The quality of their plastic bags was very poor."
"Yes, in the past it was rare for a plastic bag not to break when you were hungry."
"Plastic bags are bad, but now even the food is so bad. I won't use them anymore."
"All the riders on Hungry are middle-aged uncles, not a single handsome guy!"
Self-media likes to chase popularity. In recent times, random interviews about "Ele.Bu" have been constantly appearing on the headlines tonight.
Zhang Xuhao gritted his teeth after reading it. Damn, they were just hungry and never printed any plastic bags from the beginning to the end!
Also, how can you fucking blacken a rider if he isn’t handsome? He scrolled through the headlines, and the more he scrolled, the colder he felt. He felt like the whole world was against him.
Finally, Chen Jiaxin snatched his phone away: "Don't look at it. The more you look at it, the more this app will push negative news about Ele.me to you. It will misunderstand that you like to watch this!"
Zhang Xuhao suddenly woke up and broke out in a cold sweat.
He had forgotten that Tonight’s Headlines is a software equipped with a personalized algorithm, and the more he reads this kind of news, the more he will find it!
That Jiang Qin, everything he does is fucking weird.
"What do you want from me?"
“We found a few big Vs on Weibo and planned to do a comparative review between group-buying takeout and our takeout, hoping to restore some reputation, but…”
Zhang Xuhao looked at her: "What's wrong?"
Chen Jiaxin crossed her arms and said, "We ordered the same meal from the same store on two platforms, but the delivery speed of the group delivery was faster than ours."
"How is this possible?"
"It's true. I tried it several more times and also differentiated the time period and area. Every time the result was the same."
After Chen Jiaxin finished speaking, she called Zhang Li over and also brought a sales representative from the marketing department named Lin Daji.
He worked for group food delivery for two days and was exhausted. He just came back today.
Chen Jiaxin looked at him: "Tell me what you found."
Lin Daji pursed his lips and said, "The route guidance of group delivery is more accurate than ours, and the system supports regional deployment. Full-time riders basically don't run empty orders. They can even receive all the takeaways waiting to be picked up from nearby merchants and on the delivery routes."
After listening to this, Chen Jiaxin looked at Zhang Xuhao and said, "It was Gaode Maps that provided the technical support. It was not without reason that Pintuan spent so much money to invest in Gaode and also spent manpower and resources to continuously improve the database."
Hearing this, Zhang Xuhao fell silent again.
A month ago, he said in an interview with the media that Hungry is not a professional food delivery company, but its biggest advantage is its three-kilometer delivery model, which can ensure that consumers get their meals as quickly as possible.
As a result, other "non-professional" takeout companies have already surpassed them in this respect, which is equivalent to a slap in the face.
[I don’t want to be the second Jiang Qin, I want to be the first Zhang Xuhao]
He thought of his outrageous remarks during the media interview and couldn't help feeling uneasy.
"We can no longer compete for the first- and second-tier markets. The white-collar market that we previously took from Baidu has now been taken away by group buying. Waimai Chaoren has also collapsed. There is no room for development in first-tier cities. I plan to take advantage of the opportunity of merging with Koubei Waimai to quickly expand into lower-tier cities."
Zhang Xuhao calmed down a bit and continued, "The speed of building the supply chain for group buying is slower than our business development speed, so at least we can avoid them."
Chen Jiaxin pursed her lips and thought that the group buying websites were no match for the group buying websites and so they fled to the lower-tier markets. As a result, in the end, all the markets were swept away by the group buying websites.
Now, history seems to be repeating itself.
Being forced to enter a small market is actually equivalent to losing.
At this moment, Yang Xueyu pushed the door open and walked in, looking anxious: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Chen, I have to go back to Kyoto, and I probably won't be back in a short time."
"What's wrong?"
"The boss is in the hospital with cerebral hemorrhage. Dianping needs someone to take charge temporarily to stabilize the situation."
"Then...then go ahead."
Yang Xueyu was seconded from Dianping.com and his working relationship is still with Dianping.com, so the boss he was talking about is Zhang Tao, who has placed all his fortune on Ele.com.
Zhang Tao has had high blood pressure ever since the merchants stood him up at the group purchase signing ceremony and spread rumors in the media about a funding shortage. Until this moment, his blood vessels finally couldn't hold the pressure back.
The pressure is also very great.
Seeing that Hungry did not actively avoid the battle and began to decline, the Internet business circle also sighed.
In fact, they had expected this half a month ago. They knew they couldn't survive if they were hungry, but they didn't expect that even with two big companies betting on it, they couldn't last a month.
[My part-time business was a complete success. Four years have passed in a blink of an eye and I am about to graduate. ]
On Thursday afternoon, Jiang Qin posted an update in his circle of friends, and the entire circle fell silent.
Just one line of words and three dots.
First, Jiang Qin’s main job is a student. In his words, he has always been a part-time boss in group buying…
Second, he had just graduated from college and was just twenty-two years old.
Third, it took only four years for Pintuan to grow from a campus group buying website to the current O2O giant.
But another thing that attracted attention was the several pictures accompanying this circle of friends.
The first photo shows a beautiful girl hanging clothes at the bottom of the dormitory building. She has a great figure, long legs, a slim waist, and delicate and fair facial features.
The second picture is a distant view. Half of the bright sunshine is blocked by the dormitory building. The other half is left. It’s still the same girl, standing in the drying area full of sheets, hanging up a white men’s shirt.
The third picture still shows the same scene, except that the east wind suddenly blows, lifting the girl's skirt, and the sheets dance with it, forming a moving, bright, and youthful picture that is more gorgeous than summer flowers.
"Who is this?"
"It should be Mrs. Jiang."
Jiang Qin used to post photos of Feng Nanshu frequently on QQ space, but he stopped doing so after switching to WeChat.
It’s not because I don’t want to show off my good friends, but because the change in identity is so great that some personal information needs to be handled with caution.
But this afternoon, when Jiang Qin saw the rich lady hanging clothes downstairs, he couldn't help taking a lot of photos, and finally he couldn't help but send them out.
He has a beautiful best friend who just wants to show off.
Jiang Qin squinted his eyes and squatted under the eaves of the college supermarket. After taking a photo, he reached out and touched a stray cat next to him, asking him if he had a cute, adorable and a little clingy sister.
Gao Wenhui and Wang Haini were also hanging clothes, but because there were no boys' clothes, they finished faster than the rich woman.
Watching Boss Jiang teasing the cat and the dog, muttering something, Gao Wenhui couldn't help but ask, "What are you talking to it about?"
"I'm asking him if he has a girlfriend."
"It's true that two kinds of people can't sleep in the same bed. Feng Nanshu also catches stray cats all day and asks them if they have a brother who will love them."
Wang Haini came over and asked, "What did it say?"
Jiang Qin stroked the cat beside him and said, "It said he has eight wives and three sisters from the neighboring school. Damn it, little scumbag cat."
Gao Wenhui opened her eyes wide: "Do you really understand dog talk?!"
"roll!"
Jiang Qin cursed and turned to look at the clothes drying area, only to see that Feng Nanshu had already hung his clothes in a row, with her high ponytail swaying back and forth.
Gao Wenhui looked at Jiang Qin, who couldn't take his eyes off her, and couldn't help squinting: "How is your wife? Isn't she pretty?"
"I was looking at the clouds. They were moving so fast."
“It’s not the clouds that are moving, nor is it the wind that is moving, it’s your heart that is moving.”
Jiang Qin glanced at her and said, "You're wrong. It's your salary that's moving. It's crawling from your pocket back into my pocket."
At this moment, Feng Nanshu came running over, with some beads of sweat glistening on his forehead, and then called out "brother" in a low voice.
Jiang Qin took out a pack of tissues from his pocket, wiped the sweat off her face, and pinched her fair face.
At this moment, the bead curtain at the back door of the college supermarket was suddenly lifted, and Jiang Zhihua came out and handed over four ice creams.
Jiang Qin was stunned for a moment: "I just sat here for half an hour, why didn't you pass me an ice cream?"
Jiang Zhihua grinned: "I didn't see the boss lady just now, but I saw you hanging around my back door alone, like a bandit. How could I dare to show up?"
Jiang Qin pursed his lips: "You are good at language arts."
The three girls took the ice cream from Boss Jiang, opened it, took a bite, and then realized it was a new product.
Gao Wenhui had the strawberry flavor. Looking at the apple flavor in Feng Nanshu's hand, she couldn't help but ask, "Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious. Let me give you a try."
Feng Nanshu handed it over, his clear eyes bright and lively.
Gao Wenhui looked at it and waved her hand: "You've had Jiang Qin's. I don't want to taste his."
Jiang Qin: “?”
Wang Haini opened her eyes wide and was instantly excited: "Let me taste it."
"Wait a minute, Feng Nanshu, what did you eat again?"
The rich young woman stretched out a finger, gently touched Jiang Qin's face, and pushed him away: "You'll know next time."
Jiang Qin looked at her and although she had no expression on her face, she suddenly blushed and couldn't help frowning.
Feng Nanshu is a little foodie and very curious. He wants to eat everything. I guess he ate something while he was away.
