"Brother Yi, are you hungry? Do you know anything about the situation here in Yangcheng?" After chatting about the green past, Lin started to talk about the main topic.
"Originally, I didn't pay much attention and I never ordered takeout. After you told me about it, I paid attention. At least I can see their Blue Knights in several nearby schools."
Unsurprisingly, Are You Hungry also made its fortune from universities? They have been setting up business in Yangcheng for a year, and there is no way they will let go of the university market.
If you can't avoid it, just face it head on.
Zhang Xiaochuan obviously didn't know more about the inside story, but he had already helped a lot, and Lin Yi would need his guidance when he went there tomorrow, so he thanked him again and again before returning to the temporary base he had just rented in Shipai Village.
Shao Yu, who had been dismissed at the airport, and two other people had fun outside and then returned here one after another according to the location he informed.
These new arrivals just wanted to catch up with some old classmates, but they still remembered that they were not really here for a trip or vacation. When they came back to see Lin Yi for business, they told some stories about whether they were hungry.
"It's useless to worry. Let's talk about it when we encounter it." Lin Yi simply concluded after listening.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, of course Lin Yi didn't have the chance to drink morning tea leisurely in his underpants and slippers like those in Laoyangcheng. Instead, he bought some food to fill his stomach and took his three younger brothers to find Zhang Xiaochuan.
He plans to spend three days in Jiuda. On the one hand, Yi Ge is here and there is a bit of a home field advantage. On the other hand, this is also their first stop in Yangcheng, so they must ensure an instant success.
Their playing style was similar to before. After the completion of the work, some of them were responsible for promotion within the school, and some of them went to negotiate with merchants. Lin Yiyi himself was led by Brother Yi to find part-time students.
Of course, he personally took charge of this matter not just to find a few delivery people, but mainly to find out if there were any good seedlings worth cultivating.
Although he encountered no difficulties in recruiting, he did not find the kind of person he was looking for.
Most of the kids who work part-time in universities are honest and honest. If such people want to be able to work independently, they also need experience. Lin Yi can't afford to waste this time.
There was nothing wrong with the other two parties. The people he brought were very skilled in doing these jobs. Although they were not in the capital, the environment in universities was actually similar.
It is worth mentioning that the person responsible for merchant negotiations reported that the merchants here are also very easy to communicate with because they have all been scanned by Hungry Me and most of them have already gone online, even if they have not been talked about by Hungry Me before.
At least those who came down knew this.
This is the so-called "latecomer advantage". Like Beijing, they are actually free riding on Hungry.
Lin Yi instructed: "Those merchants who haven't even come to Hungry.com, just give up if they can't get it at once. No matter what their considerations are, we are unlikely to offer better terms than Hungry.com.
"
"We have only one goal, which is to go fast!"
They implemented Lin Yi's purpose very well, and three days later, Suiwai Takeaway.com announced its launch in Yangcheng.
The surrounding areas are Nanhua Polytechnic, Nanhua Normal University, Nanhua Agricultural University and other universities. According to this progress, they can cover the surrounding area within two weeks, which can be regarded as an initial opening in Yangcheng.
No, it's too slow.
Lin Yi was still dissatisfied. It took them a whole semester to roll out the business in Beijing. This was of course because of the size of the market in Beijing, with a lot of area and universities, and they were just starting out.
But Yangcheng is also a first-tier city!
They came here from the capital and could just say "expedition", and there was no way they would spend another semester in Yangcheng.
If that happens, the awesomeness he boasted to Liu Jianni before may not be realized.
Is there any way to speed up the progress?
Lin Yi and Zhang Xiaochuan were walking on the large campus together. Brother Yi looked at the blue knights riding electric bicycles and asked:
"I see they all have uniforms, so everyone passing by knows they are from the Are You Hungry food ordering website? Why don't you do this like them? Isn't this considered brand promotion?"
Lin Yi didn't do this at first because of cost reasons. Now, even though they have just received US$1 million, they are not incapable of doing it if they want to.
“But there are certain problems with such brand exposure. Since there are already riders running around wearing our clothes, it means that we have already started business in that place. What I am worried about now is how to spread the publicity to those places as soon as possible.
A place that hasn’t come online yet.”
Lin Yi asked: "Do you know any major events in the school recently?"
"There don't seem to be any major events in March."
Lin Yi was just thinking about whether he could gain popularity quickly within the school through sponsorship, but he rejected it before Brother Yi could answer, because they couldn't afford to sponsor each school one by one.
Besides, when he was promoting in Haidian, he still remembered the complaints from merchants about the unreliability of the student union, and it was hard to tell the effect of throwing money at those people.
As for other bulletin boards and advertising spaces in the school, the same principle applies. If you put up banners casually, it will probably be torn down by the security department who came to hear the news in less than two hours.
"Huh?"
Lin Yi suddenly noticed something and pointed to an electric tricycle passing by them and said: "This car is for delivering express, right? I seem to have seen several of them in this short walk?"
Zhang Xiaochuan looked in the direction he pointed and saw that it was a shabby old electric tricycle driven by one person. The carriage was made of light and rickety iron. It was the kind of vehicle commonly used by couriers in schools.
"I guess so. What's wrong with this?"
What Lin Yi saw was different from him. From the perspective of a boss, tatters were not a problem as long as they were usable. This showed that the boss was very pragmatic, which was the same as his previous preference to buy second-hand items.
The key is that there are no pictures on the cabins of these cars. At first glance, only the iron sheets can be seen. It is a "naked car"!
With the rapid development of the online shopping industry, it has also brought about the prosperity of the express delivery industry, which has become a daily necessity for many college students. There is a popular word on the Internet called "hand-picking people", which refers to those who are addicted to online shopping but cannot control themselves.
guy.
Therefore, this kind of electric tricycle is very efficient in getting in and out of the school. If you can hang an advertisement for a takeaway website on its carriage, the publicity effect should be good.
Lin Yi felt that this road seemed to have great potential, and said to Zhang Xiaochuan with great interest: "Where is your school's express delivery station? Take me to see it!"
