Chapter 277 Understanding Dongzi

Zhang Yang arrived at the coffee shop that Yang Xiao mentioned half an hour early. He first looked around to make sure that Yang Xiao did not arrive early like him, then found a seat where he could see the door, reluctantly ordered a cappuccino and sat down.

Afterwards, he absentmindedly played with his mobile phone, and occasionally glanced at the door through the glass window, for fear of missing Yang Xiao.

Finally, at 2:25, he saw Yang Xiao coming in, and he waved to him and called out:

"Junior, I'm here!"

When Yang Xiao heard the voice, he immediately saw Zhang Yang and walked towards him. Seeing that he had already drunk most of the coffee in his cup, he smiled and asked:

"How long has it been?"

"Not long, not long. It's only been a while."

Zhang Yang waved his hands repeatedly, then called the waiter attentively, "What would you like to drink, junior? I'll order it for you."

Yang Xiao casually ordered a drink, chatted with him for a few words, and then got straight to the point:

"I spent 650 million to acquire a group buying website a few days ago, but I don't plan to continue doing all types of group buying. Instead, I plan to transform and focus the group buying business on the catering industry, and extend it to catering takeaway services. Currently, the takeaway service needs to build a team and is short of manpower. I suddenly thought of you. Do you have any ideas?"

"Takeaway service. Are you trying to expand the campus market?"

Zhang Yang was first surprised by the number of 650 million, thinking that this was no small matter. He was also a smart man, and instantly thought of the reason why Yang Xiao looked for him from the point of takeaway.

Yang Xiao nodded and said, "Well, the campus market is the first step to open up the market, and it is also the top priority. I am not at ease leaving this matter to other people."

Hearing Yang Xiao's words of trust, Zhang Yang was almost moved to tears.

It wasn't because Yang Xiao's words were so beautiful, or he was obviously trying to win people's hearts, but because he felt that his efforts over such a long time had finally paid off.

Now that he had waited so long for this opportunity, he naturally expressed his opinion:
"I'm about to graduate, and it's my honor to be able to participate in a project like this. Since you think so highly of me, I will definitely not let you down!"

"Okay, come with me to the new company for a meeting tomorrow. You can take the position of head of the campus marketing department first. Is that okay?"

"No, no, as long as you tell me, I can be an ordinary waiter, that's fine!"

Zhang Yang patted his chest and made promises repeatedly, looking like he was determined to fight to the death.

He would not complain about his low position. Although he had never worked before, he had a cousin who knew a lot about everything.

Moreover, when he heard that Yang Xiao did not start from scratch but spent a huge amount of money on the acquisition, the current scale must not be small, he was already content.

He is now a veteran in this kind of startup company!

In addition, thanks to Yang Xiao's relationship, he is not worried about future development at all. The current B2C market is in full swing, and his treatment in the future may not be much worse than that of his cousin Guo Haiping.

Yang Xiao was also amused by Zhang Yang's attitude.

To be honest, Zhang Yang has never concealed his desire to make progress. Ever since he accidentally discovered Yang Xiao's true identity during dormitory inspections at the beginning of the school year, he has been trying to get close to Yang Xiao.

Over time, he has become Yang Xiao's best friend in Shenzhen University, except for his roommate Zhang Jun and three others.

Therefore, Yang Xiao was willing to give him this opportunity.

After all, Zhang Yang has many advantages, such as visible execution ability and resilience, as well as outstanding emotional intelligence among college students.

Of course, the most important thing is the extremely important campus market in the takeaway service. Zhang Yang's identity as the Minister of the Student Union plus his personal abilities make him a good candidate.

Facing the takeaway market in colleges and universities, it will be necessary to recruit a lot of students to serve as deliverymen.

With Zhang Yang taking the lead, it would be much more convenient for students to interact with each other!
Providing work-study opportunities is secondary. The most important reason is that many schools do not allow outsiders to enter!

The identity of non-school personnel is too sensitive. If any trouble arises, it will not end well.

This is another reason why Yang Xiao considered Zhang Yang to be responsible for the campus market segment.

the next day.

It was Monday, and Zhang Yang took a day off and went to the office of Huiduotuan.com with Yang Xiao.

Together with Yang Xiao, there are several managers transferred from Shiguang Culture Media and Qingsong Internet Technology. These are new personnel appointments and will take over most of the middle-level management positions.

[Huiduotuan.com] There is a lot of work to be done here, and Yang Xiao has made up his mind to make a big strategic adjustment, which can be said to be a blood transfusion.

Before that, even some redundant positions and employees were laid off.

At this time, Wang Juntao was also waiting for them downstairs.

After meeting, Yang Xiao introduced them: "This is Zhang Yang, the future head of campus marketing, and also my senior at Shenzhen University. This is Wang Juntao, one of my partners."

When Wang Juntao heard the identity of "Senior from Shenzhen University", he knew that this was someone Yang Xiao valued, so he immediately nodded to Zhang Yang to show his friendship.

Zhang Yang was very good at handling things. When he heard that the man in front of him was the only partner, he immediately flattered him:

"Brother Tao, hello, I've heard about you from Mr. Yang a long time ago, please take care of me in the future."

"No problem, we are all brothers."

Wang Juntao was very happy to see that Zhang Yang was very polite, and he still often mentioned the word "brother".

Yang Xiao shook his head secretly, wondering when he would be able to change this habit.

Yang Xiao asked at this time: "Are all the people here?"

Wang Juntao nodded. "Everyone is here. The sales backbones from the technical department in Shenzhen and several surrounding cities, including me, are all here."

"Hey, you are also a sales backbone?" Yang Xiao was a little surprised.

"Of course. I found that I actually like communicating with people. Some people find it difficult to talk, but I don't think it's a big deal. Sometimes I can communicate with those merchants and get the job done before I even finish a cigarette."

"Everyone has a different personality. If you say so, then you are indeed suitable for sales."

At this time, several people were chatting while taking the elevator upstairs, and soon entered the company under the leadership of Wang Juntao.

"Brother Tao, good morning."

"Morning~"

"Brother Tao, have you eaten?"

"I've eaten. Where are your brothers?"

Wang Juntao is very popular. Wherever he goes, men and women alike greet him with a smile, and he responds with a smile.

These people looked at Yang Xiao next to Wang Juntao and the few people behind him. They all had different expressions and were whispering about something.

He first took Yang Xiao and others to the conference room, and then he came out and went to several other offices to greet a few people over.

"Brothers, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Yang Xiaoyang, who acquired our [Huiduotuan.com]. You should have heard of his name, right?"

As soon as Wang Juntao finished speaking, several employees he brought in excitedly echoed him.

"I've heard of it! Mr. Yang is very famous!"

"Welcome Mr. Yang!" "Mr. Yang, I am your fan!"

"Mr. Yang, my girlfriend is also your fan, and her family even bought your book!"

"."

Although Wang Juntao knew that Yang Xiao was famous, he didn't expect that he would be so popular. He cleared his throat and said:
"It will be Mr. Yang who will lead us to set sail again. Welcome Mr. Yang to speak."

Everyone burst into applause and looked at Yang Xiao with anticipation.

Yang Xiao smiled and said, "Thank you for your support. Before I start my speech, I would like to ask everyone here a question. Does anyone know what platforms in Shenzhen specialize in food delivery?"

A boy wearing glasses and a black and white plaid shirt raised his hand slightly to signal.

"I know there is a website called [ABC Food Ordering Network] that specializes in food delivery. I've used it before."

"Oh? Then can you tell me how easy it is to use?"

"Well, it feels okay, but there are not many types of food there. If you are not picky, it is still convenient and quick to order."

Yang Xiao asked: "If you were asked to rate this platform out of 10, how many points would you give it?"

The man with glasses said, "Six points, just passing. To be honest, I don't want to use it anymore after ordering it twice. It's better to go downstairs and eat Shaxian snacks."

Yang Xiao nodded. Nowadays, the takeaway market in Shenzhen is basically monopolized by this platform.

It is called a monopoly, but the ultimate reason is that no one competes with it.

Moreover, it is not even accurate to call it a food delivery platform. Strictly speaking, ABC Food Ordering Network is more like an online restaurant, but it covers the entire city of Shenzhen.

There are many varieties of it, but they are basically produced by a fairly complete "production chain", which is a bit like pre-prepared meals.

Why is it called "ABC"?

On this platform, three different video packages are launched every day.

Meals AB are not spicy, meal C is slightly spicy or spicy, and the taste is different every day and every week. It is called scientific nutritional combination.

But this website will not last long before being replaced because its cost is too high.

It also goes against the original intention of netizens ordering takeout.

When people order takeout, they don’t want to eat your nutritious meal, but want to make their own choices and don’t want to be restricted by regulations!

This website started advertising by taking advantage of the "Asian Games". Because of this, this B nutrition package is so expensive, how can it be sustained?

Also, his so-called "nutritional gimmicks" are not appealing.

Again, netizens have ordered takeout, so why do they care about its nutritional value?

Just make do with it!
If we divide takeout into different eras, the early days when merchants spontaneously hired people to deliver food to customers’ doors could be considered version 1.0.

This "platform ordering and delivery" model is similar to the 2.0 version of [ABC Ordering Network].

But Yang Xiao’s current O2O “mobile food ordering”, which is following the same route as Ele.me, can be considered as version 3.0.

Therefore, Yang Xiao conducted market research in Shenzhen in advance. Ele.me is still developing in Shanghai. Shenzhen does not take the [ABC Food Ordering Network] seriously at all. It can be said that this is a dimensionality reduction attack!
“Since we can only give a passing score from the user’s perspective, can such a platform be our opponent?”

After Yang Xiao finished speaking, he looked around and saw everyone shaking their heads in agreement. Then, he continued, "I guess everyone should have received the news in advance about the company's upcoming transformation, right?"

The employees of [Huiduotuan.com] nodded one after another. This was no secret. Wang Juntao had already revealed the news privately.

As the saying goes, an incompetent general can cause the whole army to tire out. The previous founders of their company were all outsiders who wanted to take advantage of the trend to make money. They had no foresight at all.

Including the news of being acquired by Meituan, the company's cash flow hit rock bottom and employees' wages were suppressed for a while. They all knew that this makeshift team was about to collapse, and this matter caused panic for a time.

It can be said that the employees have been looking forward to this day for a long time.

Yang Xiao then continued:
“Now that [Huiduotuan.com] has become history, I decided to officially change the company’s name to [Shihuituan].

The company's business adjustment has also changed from all types of group buying to focusing on a single catering industry.

"Shi" means "food". As the name suggests, it attracts users with preferential group purchases of meals. At the same time, on top of the group purchases of meals, it also provides meal delivery services.

In addition, Wang Juntao is responsible for coordinating the catering group purchasing business department.

As for the takeaway business, I plan to subdivide it into two separate departments, one responsible for the takeaway market in universities, and the other in business districts.

Let me introduce here that the person in charge of the university's takeout market is Mr. Zhang Yang sitting next to me.

The person in charge of the takeaway market in the business district will be selected from among you. In the next one-month period, I hope that everyone will tackle the major business districts. Whoever negotiates the most merchants will be the person in charge of the business district!
The specific salary for this position is determined by the HR department, and the result has not yet been announced, but I can guarantee that it will be at least 3 per month!"

With a loud bang, everyone present, including Wang Juntao, was startled.

He never expected that Yang Xiao would actually put such an important position up for everyone to fight for!
Everyone was excited at first, and then showed excitement.

They are all sales elites and have been secretly gearing up for this opportunity to move up.

"Boss Yang, awesome!"

"Mr. Yang V587!"

Seeing that everyone's enthusiasm was aroused, Yang Xiao nodded with satisfaction.

The pie in the sky is huge, but many people here buy into it. No matter if it’s venture capital or branch company, just hearing the words makes people feel motivated.

The most important thing is that they all believe in Yang Xiao and are sure that he has this ability!
At this time, Wang Juntao finally understood what personal charm, or aura, was. No matter how the previous partners talked, no one bought it. It seems that this matter still depends on the individual.

Yang Xiao pressed his hand into the air at this time and continued:
“Of course, even though there is only one location, we will set up more branches in the future. My goal is to occupy the market in Shenzhen within two months!
Then, I will attract venture capitalists and head directly into the national market!
I know that the atmosphere in the company is very good. Our brother Tao is easy-going and gets along well with everyone.
To be honest, I have a very good relationship with Brother Tao. We are like brothers. Brother Tao's brothers are my brothers.

I hope to fight together with my brothers! I believe my brothers will not let me down, right? "

"Yes! Let's work together!"

"fight together!"

Wang Juntao was so moved that he led the applause crazily.

He didn't expect that Yang Xiao would also take the lead in promoting "brother culture", which made him very pleased.

But at this moment, Yang Xiao was actually somewhat helpless.

He discovered that the company's corporate culture had actually been somewhat distorted by Wang Juntao. Yang Xiao could feel it as soon as he entered the door.

In any case, Wang Juntao was also one of the bosses before, but he actually mingled with the employees and lost his authority.

Now that he has taken over, he is not willing to be the bad guy. Instead, he might as well play the good guy and win the hearts of some people.

Anyway, among the people he brings, someone will serve as vice president, and he will then strictly enforce the work style in this regard.

Well, I suddenly began to understand Dongzi a little bit
