He once had a casual relationship, and the man he used to fool Liu Jianni was appearing in the office of his biggest competitor.
Zhang Xuhao was very enthusiastic about this visit and received him personally.
"I have admired Mr. Wang for a long time. He is a senior figure in the entrepreneurial world. Hearing about him is better than seeing him. It is truly an honor and honor for us to meet him today."
"Mr. Zhang is young and promising."
Meituan is not yet a giant, but it has already made a name for itself in the group buying industry and is a well-known brand in the world. It is not too much to give it such a courtesy.
After a while of greetings, both parties took their seats. Wang Huiwen, who had come all the way from the capital, was the first to speak: "Mr. Zhang, this time we have brought the greatest sincerity of each group. Please take a look."
Zhang Xuhao took the plan book he handed over with both hands with a smile on his face, but he didn't even have time to open it. He only looked at the cover and his expression changed.
He put down the acquisition plan and asked: "Mr. Wang, I thought that each group was interested in investing in us, so I was so looking forward to meeting you. But you just gave me an acquisition plan. Is that true?
What went wrong?"
Zhang Xuhao emphasized the word "acquisition".
He was determined to cooperate with a group-buying website like Every Group. It happened that Hungry? had recently launched the next round of financing. At this time, Every Group came to him, thinking he wanted to make strategic investment.
In addition to financial exchanges, Zhang Xuhao expected that the two parties would also find a good fit in business, but he did not expect that each group's ambitions would not end there.
Wang Huiwen nodded and confirmed: "Mr. Zhang is right, each of our groups intends to acquire the company Hungry? I just said that today brings the greatest sincerity of each group, and it is this acquisition plan."
Zhang Xuhao forced a smile and said: "Mr. Wang, you seem to have a little misunderstanding. Although Are You Hungry are seeking the next round of financing, my team and I have never expressed our intention to sell our company."
Wang Huiwen said calmly: "I understand Mr. Zhang. I assure you that you will never see a more generous acquisition package than this one from others. You might as well open it and take a look first, and then we can talk."
Zhang Xuhao did not open it. He put his hand on the plan book and pressed it, indicating that he had no intention of reading the contents inside.
"First of all, Are You Hungry is not just my company? It was an idea that several of us brothers came up with in our dormitory at Jiaotong University and spent several years working on it. I have no right to make the decision to sell the company."
"Secondly, my brother and I have never and will never have any intention of selling Are You Hungry?"
"This company is like our child. We have raised it with great pains for several years. It has just grown up. How can we, as its parents, sell it?"
"So, Mr. Wang, I'm sorry that I can't comply with your request."
This reaction was expected by Wang Huiwen. He said calmly: "Mr. Zhang, I know it is difficult for you to accept it at the moment. Please allow me to explain to you that this is your best choice now."
"I heard Hungry is in a little trouble right now?"
Although he used relaxed words, Zhang Xuhao still answered solemnly: "I don't know what the little trouble Mr. Wang refers to. Hungry?'s current development status is greater than ever before. We don't think there is anything that can stop Hungry? from continuing.
go ahead."
"Yeah?"
Wang Huiwen chuckled, and then pointed out a fact, "I remember, did I get a US$3 million B round in January this year? If everything goes well, the money should take more than five months, right?"
Zhang Xuhao didn’t let up at all: “This just shows that the development trend of Are You Hungry is great in the first half of the year, especially an event we held in April and May, which achieved unprecedented results.”
"Although the large donation at that time was a huge burden for Hungry.me, on the one hand it reflected Hungry.me's social responsibility, and on the other hand it also proved our profitability and prospects."
Wang Huiwen didn't beat around the bush anymore: "Since Mr. Zhang is so unwilling to mention it, I have no choice but to speak out."
"I've been observing the industry of Are You Hungry and the food delivery industry for more than a day or two? The event you just mentioned was jointly organized with the convenience food delivery network. I know very well that you two have had many battle records. The most recent one happened to us.
Shanghai at your feet."
"As far as I know, it is because of the huge competitive pressure between you that Hungry? has exhausted its capital reserves in advance and has to seek the next round of financing in such a short period of time."
Zhang Xuhao remained unmoved: "I want to make it clear that the reason why you are hungry is because of the company's next development needs, and it is by no means an unknown competitor."
"Since Mr. Wang mentioned that website, I am happy to remind Mr. Wang that they are the ones who are struggling to survive under the pressure of Are We Hungry? There is not much time left."
Wang Huiwen smiled again, seeming to be lamenting his tough talk.
"Okay, since Mr. Zhang doesn't even want to mention the name of that website, I won't say more, but I have another question I want to ask."
He paused, suppressed his smile and asked slowly with a more majestic expression: "What if your competitor is not it, but every group?"
really.
Zhang Xuhao thought that the worst had happened. He would never be willing to be acquired. He was still willing to sit here and argue with Wang Huiwen just to confirm the news from his mouth.
Each group is going to make takeout.
Although Wang Huiwen's words were ordinary, when said at this moment and matched with his tone, it was clearly a threat!
He is seven years older than Zhang Xuhao, and he is Zhang Xuhao's senior in terms of experience in the industry. Moreover, this is not a Ma Zai who works for Wang Xing. He has also had the experience of starting a business on his own before.
Return to the service of my old brother.
Both each group and Wang Huiwen himself have sufficient psychological advantages when facing Hungry and Zhang Xuhao.
Zhang Xuhao was originally a very aggressive person. He clenched his fists almost subconsciously and entered a fighting posture in response.
"Are you hungry? The registered name is Lazars. This is a Sanskrit word. Does Mr. Wang know what it means?"
"It's passion!"
"Mr. Wang, since you have such an attitude, I think there is nothing more to say. Are we hungry? We have been deeply involved in this industry for several years. In terms of the time of establishment, we are still in front of each group. We will not be afraid of any opponents."
"On the contrary, your joining further proves the value of this track. I believe that more investors will find that Hungry is the best one!"
The biggest competitor that Zhang Xuhao faces now is Yiyi Food Delivery, which is several sizes smaller than him, but that doesn't mean that he hasn't fought against stronger opponents before.
Even though Bu Tuan can now be considered a little giant compared to Are You Hungry?, he is not lying when he says he is not afraid.
Wang Huiwen knew from his tone that he was going to fail today, but he still finished his words eloquently:
"I want to remind you that no one can stop what every group wants to do, and it will definitely be achieved!"
