Zhang Xuhao was actually in Beijing during this period.
He is a son of a wealthy family. It is said that his ancestors were famous tycoons in the old city of Shanghai before the founding of the People's Republic of China. His father was an old man and had a son, so he was very fond of him since he was a child. He had already bought a family property for him, and he was destined to have food and clothing for a lifetime.
Worry-free.
To sum up, he is the kind of guy who "if he doesn't start a business well, he can only go back to being a pampered rich second generation".
But he still has some restless genes in his bones.
Are You Hungry made his fortune in Shanghai? At that time, he was still a graduate student at Shanghai Jiaotong University, similar to Lin Yi and others, and several classmates worked together to earn money.
In March 2011, he received Series A financing of US$1 million, and then established branches in Beijing and Lin'an City in the middle of that year.
I chose Lin'an because it is close to Shanghai and easy to manage.
The capital city was chosen because it was important and a battleground.
Of course, Hungry? has continued to expand to Yangcheng and Jinmen. After receiving a US$3 million Series B at the beginning of this year, the three branches in Susu, Bingcheng, and Rongcheng are also making intensive preparations and will open soon.
But no matter where he plans to march, the capital must be the top priority.
In December last year, his investor Lao Zhu called and said that a friend had discovered his competitor in an entrepreneurial competition.
He immediately rushed over to check it out, but at that time Hungry was in the critical juncture of Series B financing, so he couldn't spare much energy and resources for the time being.
After this year, he was fully prepared and launched the "Battle of the Capital" without hesitation, preparing to crush the little mantis blocking the road in front of his car with all his strength. For this reason, he himself came here to take charge.
He was very aware of the minor frictions that had occurred between Hungry? and Suiyi Takeout.com during this period, but he did not take it seriously at all, thinking that this was a sign of his subordinates' determination to forge ahead.
Zhang Xuhao likes to take his subordinates to boxing. He most appreciates the kind of character with strong style, big heart and aggressive fighting.
When Manager Zhang received a call from Ditui saying that he had followed someone from Bianwai.com into the hospital, he was by his side. However, he did not intend to come forward at first, so he sent Manager Zhang over to clean up the situation.
Obviously, the facts were completely different from what the local pusher reported at the beginning. After hitting a wall with Lin Yi and Li Moyan, Manager Zhang had no choice but to call him for instructions.
Zhang Xuhao had already realized that this matter might not be easy to resolve, so he decided to come in person.
He did give advice to Manager Zhang to delay for a while and not to let the situation deteriorate further. Just now, Manager Zhang pretended to be a bully and said a wave of harsh words in an attempt to deceive Lin Yi and Li Moyan in order to restore his image of being unfavorable in doing things.
However, Lin Yi didn't follow his lead.
There was nothing to say to this person next. They waited patiently in the hospital and finally met Boss Zhang, who looked kind but actually had a fierce personality.
After he appeared, he ignored his subordinate Manager Zhang, skipped Li Moyan and walked towards Lin Yi, stretched out his hand and asked:
"This must be Boss Lin, right? I'm Zhang Xuhao."
The information Liu Jianni conveyed to them last year at least included that this was a three-person entrepreneurial team headed by Lin Yi. His first hand showed that he had special knowledge of Suiwai Takeout.com.
There was no need to pretend at this time, Lin Yi also stretched out his hand to shake it.
This man's hand was quite strong, and of course he didn't intentionally cause harm. The two parties completed the first contact in a friendly manner.
"Call me Lin Yi."
Zhang Xuhao is not so casual. They are not friends.
"My name is Mr. Lin. I already knew the ins and outs of the whole thing on the way here. Manager Zhang must have conveyed my opinions to you just now. It seems that you still have objections?"
Lin Yi followed his title and called: "Mr. Zhang, we cannot agree with your opinion. We believe that Hungry Company has an unshirkable responsibility in this matter."
"If you are unwilling to take responsibility, then we will leave it to the law to judge."
Zhang Xuhao firmly denied: "These are just the personal behaviors of employees. The company has never given them such an order. Even if the case is reported, they will only be held personally responsible. This cannot threaten us."
"No matter whether there is an order from the company or not, they are always employees of your company, right? Even if what they did today is self-inflicted, it is also for the interests of your company, right? Mr. Zhang feels that these few words of his can
Can you pick all the hungry ones?"
Zhang Xuhao was unmoved: "What they did has seriously violated the company's rules and regulations. From now on, they are no longer employees of the company. This is our most sincere explanation of this matter."
Lin Yi shook his head: "Mr. Zhang, we said from the beginning that we don't care about how your company handles internal affairs."
"I want to remind Mr. Zhang that we have the complete surveillance video of the entire incident. If we post it online, do you think netizens will recognize the sincerity you just said?"
These words made Zhang Xuhao silent for a moment. Manager Zhang next to him glanced at him a little nervously. If the incident went online, the impact would be difficult to control.
Soon Zhang Xuhao's eyes regained their firmness. This time, his speech slowed down and was slightly less aggressive, but his words did not appear to be weak.
"Are you hungry? I will never apologize."
Just when Manager Zhang thought that the negotiation had broken down, Zhang Xuhaofeng said in a roundabout way: "If Mr. Lin agrees, I am willing to apologize to several injured classmates for poor management in my own name."
"Of course we put villains first before gentlemen. I have my words first. You are not allowed to take pictures or video while apologizing."
He concluded: "All other conditions mentioned just now remain unchanged. Mr. Lin, please believe me that this is the best solution for both of us."
This time Lin Yi and his senior sister exchanged glances. Although Lin Yi was the major shareholder, his senior sister was the direct party involved and he respected her opinion.
The look Li Moyan gave was: Just go ahead and do it.
Lin Yi received the authorization and then said: "Mr. Zhang, I accept your proposal, but I still have a few points to add."
"First, during this period of time, there have been frequent small frictions between our front-line delivery personnel. This time it is a direct conflict between local pushers. If it is not restrained, this kind of thing will happen again next time. I hope you are hungry?
Make sure you manage your employees well.”
"Second, although I know that Hungry.com is expanding very quickly and the quality of its employees is inevitably mixed, but having people like today in your team is not a blessing to Hungry.com, right?"
Lin Yi said that he didn't care about the other party's internal affairs, but finally mentioned it. This was to ensure the safety of his subordinates.
This time Zhang Xuhao was very happy: "Such a thing will never happen a second time."
Everyone is negotiating on behalf of both companies. Of course, once an agreement is reached, it is not just a matter of verbal approval. The procedures must be completed.
Zhang Xuhao immediately ordered the legal department of Are You Hungry to issue a "Settlement Agreement" and confirmed it to Lin Yi and others before signing it on the spot.
Lin Yi and the others were relatively shabby here. They didn't even have a legal representative, so he and Li Moyan could only read it themselves. Fortunately, it wasn't a complicated legal document.
While waiting for the "Settlement Agreement", Zhang Xuhao stood in the corner and looked at Lin Yi from a distance and said:
"This is a respectable opponent."
Manager Zhang next to him asked: "Thanks to Mr. Zhang's personal intervention today, we stopped them from posting the video online and saved the company's losses."
He lost a lot of points again today. He originally wanted to flatter him, but Zhang Xuhao next to him glanced at him and thought:
This fool can no longer be used. In such an important place in the capital, and now there is an opponent like Lin Yi, who should be sent...
