Chapter 266 The three giants fight each other, and the sprout fights for the long term?!
The second master did not lose his mind, but based on rational judgment.
"The only absolute advantage we have over Sprout now is our financial strength. If we can't make good use of our financial strength and build a moat before Sprout Entertainment gets started, big problems will arise."
Lu Jian and Reng Yu also agreed.
"In addition to the layout in the large entertainment field, investment in other Internet start-ups must also be accelerated, and our tentacles should be extended to every corner of the Internet as much as possible to avoid missing out on any opportunities."
The second master has a very sense of crisis.
After facing budding challenges in the two major fields of social networking and gaming, we are already considering Tenda’s future and way out, and we must prepare for a rainy day.
No one can always stand in the spotlight, but that doesn’t mean Tenda will lose.
Just like Microsoft.
After the Internet enters the next era, Microsoft seems to have lost its glory, but in fact it has quietly built a huge network through investment in this channel.
It is still a big player in the Internet circle.
"Speaking of investment, I remembered one thing. There is news that Ahri is behind the merger of Wowo Tuan and Laishou." Lu Jian said a piece of news.
Things that Luo Changan could investigate could not escape Lu Jian's eyes and ears.
"Keep paying attention."
The second master's eyes flickered and he didn't say anything more.

September 12th, Mid-Autumn Festival.
In the morning, Zhang Shuo went to Xingguang Welfare Institute to deliver moon cakes, and in the evening he was invited to celebrate the festival with the old man.
"Third brother!"
As soon as Zhang Shuo entered the small courtyard carrying the gift, Tang Yu jumped over.
Even Tang Yu's mother, when she saw Zhang Shuo again, her face no longer had the indifference that seemed to repulse people thousands of miles away, but instead had a touch of unnatural warmth.
Naturally, it was also because of Zhang Shuo's change in status.
Externally, Zhang Shuo can be regarded as an outstanding entrepreneur in the country. In the first half of the year alone, Binhai City officials awarded Zhang Shuo four honors.
There will probably be more by the end of the year.
There is even news that the capital officials intend to award Zhang Shuo a youth honor.
"It's rare for a family to get together, so drink more today."
Mr. Tang is also in a particularly happy mood today, perhaps because he is practicing Tai Chi, and he is still in good spirits.
"good!"
The second uncle naturally doesn't like disobedience either.
Not to mention Zhang Shuo. If it weren't for Mr. Tang, he would actually have no sense of belonging in Binhai City. Even though he had become successful and famous, he still felt like he was wandering in a foreign land.
But he didn't want to go back to Jiangcheng.
The moon was at the top of the sky, and it was inevitable that I would be aroused by a sense of nostalgia. After leaving Tang Lao's courtyard, I made a special call to my parents and listened to their nagging for nearly an hour.
Suddenly very satisfied.
………
Tuesday, September 13th.
As soon as work resumed, earthquakes occurred one after another in the Internet industry.
First of all, Ali officially promoted the merger of Wowo Tuan and Laishou. The merged company will be renamed Ali Dianping, announcing Ali's official involvement in local life services.
This is not over yet.
The next day, September 14, Qiandu suddenly announced that it would fully acquire Nomi.com, a subsidiary of Congcong.com, and rename it Qiandu Nomi, officially entering local life services.
Suddenly, the industry was in turmoil.
The war on group buying websites has finally come to an end. Among the thousands of group buying websites, the only ones that survived and successfully completed the transformation are Moutuan, Dacong Dianping, Ali Dianping and Qiandu Nomi.
As for Qingcheng Group, they are fringe players from beginning to end.
Without exception, those who survived were all backed by the three giants of the Internet, which also kicked off a new round of fighting between the three giants in the field of local life services.
Among them, Ahri is the most special.
It has invested in Moutuan and fully controls Ali-Dianping, which is the most fun thing to do.
He is also the most powerful player currently.
Unexpectedly and unsurprisingly, both Ali-Dianping and Qiandu Nomi, after completing the acquisition, have made high-profile announcements about entering the food delivery field and starting a subsidy war.
It attracted heated discussions among netizens.
"When it comes to big-ticket acquisitions, it has to be the Big Three. After all, the sprouts are a bit behind."
"As the saying goes, your uncle is still your uncle!"
"Now Qingcheng is in a bit of trouble. Being caught in the middle by the three giants, it is estimated that it will be difficult to make a difference in the future."
"Don't worry about Qingcheng for now, I just want to know when Jiangxia can also have takeout."
"Yamashiro 1!"
Regarding takeout subsidies, netizens must have voted with their feet and are looking forward to it.
Isn’t it delicious to have sex for free?
"Is it still too late to start planning to open a fast food restaurant?"
Netizens with a small network only think about free prostitution. Those who are ambitious and visionary have already seen new business opportunities in the food delivery war and are ready to take action.
Good guy!
Zhang Shuo was reading the comments in his office and was speechless. There is indeed no shortage of smart people in China.
The takeout industry has just emerged, and some people have already figured out the ropes and begun to study specifically how to open a fast food restaurant that only serves takeout.
There is no one left.
"Doing this will pose a great threat to Qingcheng, right?"
The speaker was Pei Weiping, who was sitting opposite Zhang Shuo. Just after the holiday, the industry was experiencing earthquakes one after another. Naturally, he rushed to the headquarters to report without stopping.
"The threat is certain."
As a person who has been there, Zhang Shuo is very aware of the routines of these takeaway fast food restaurants. In order to launch so-called hit packages and increase sales, they have resorted to "high cost performance" killer weapons.
Affordable prices and generous portions.
Coupled with the large amount of marketing and promotion expenses, no expense was spared.
Who can believe this?
The result is to turn to the production of seasoning packets or small family workshops. Let alone clean and hygienic, if you can adapt to spoiled and expired ingredients, you are already a conscientious business.
If you can order takeout without eating cockroaches, dead rats and burning incense, what does a little bit of athlete's foot mean?
Domestic catering industry.
If it's hard to describe in one word, it's really hard to describe in one word.
Let alone takeout, if it hadn't been exposed by the TV news, even Zhang Shuo wouldn't have believed that the instant noodles he had been eating for almost ten years were produced like this.
I can no longer look directly at Lao Tan pickled cabbage, okay?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I even vomited out the last night’s meal.
It's also pitiful for us migrant workers, who can't even feel at ease even if we eat instant noodles.
Who can I talk to to reason with you?
"There will definitely be challenges, but you still can't forget your original intention, especially the red line of food safety and hygiene. You must not challenge it. Whoever touches this red line, no matter who is involved, will be severely punished."
Zhang Shuo had to emphasize his determination again.
"clear."
Pei Weiping suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
As a result, Qingcheng's profit pressure will be even greater.
"I also know that this is somewhat inconsistent with the laws of the market, and is even a bit difficult for others. Let's just think of it as a bit of idealism on my part. Regarding the KPI of Qingcheng Takeout, the group can appropriately lower it."
Zhang Shuo is not a completely unreasonable person.
If you want to declare your idealism and at the same time put forward very high profit targets for Qingcheng Group, wouldn’t that mean you have both the right and the right?
He can't do such a thing.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your understanding."
Pei Weiping breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and then asked for instructions: "With the demise of Ali Dianping and Qiandu Nomi, it is expected that more and more cities will launch takeout business in the next few months. If the competition is fierce, we cannot rule out that.
Before the end of the year, it will be launched in all second- and third-tier cities.”
Pei Weiping obviously has a clear understanding of the strength of the Big Three.
"The question now is, does Qingcheng Xiaozhu want to follow?"
According to the original plan, Qingcheng Xiaozhu's large-scale store expansion was limited to the three first-tier cities of Jingshi, Magic City and Yangcheng, and second-tier cities were not included in the plan.
Not to mention third-tier cities.
"We will proceed step by step first and complete the layout of first-tier cities. There is no need to rush to second-tier cities. Don't worry, this food delivery war will not end so early."
No matter how idealistic Zhang Shuo is, there is no way he can burn money as hard as he wants.
If we really want to expand our stores in second-tier cities on a large scale and build a grand plan of 100 stores in 100 cities, or even 100 stores in 100 cities, no amount of money will be enough for Qingcheng Xiaozhu.
Where can I bear it?
"As I said before, we will follow our own pace of development."
"clear!"
Pei Weiping finally calmed down, fearing that his boss would be impulsive.
Then it's over.
"Although Qingcheng Xiaozhu will face the challenge of takeaway fast food restaurants, it does not mean that Qingcheng Xiaozhu will just lie flat before the duel. This kind of thinking is also wrong."
Zhang Shuo, however, was worried and couldn't help but chat a few more words.
"Takeaway fast food restaurants have a huge cost advantage for us, but Qingcheng Xiaozhu also has its own advantages. For example, the offline stores are open and transparent. At least they have a good reputation among the surrounding white-collar groups, and they can eat with confidence."
Not all consumers are stupid, they are just kept in the dark.
At first, you might choose to trust takeout fast food restaurants, but after all the scandalous incidents are exposed, you will definitely trust Qingcheng Xiaozhu more.
White-collar workers are inherently more sensitive to food hygiene.
"Furthermore, we also have value-added services. The delivery service not only includes breakfast, but also provides umbrellas, power banks, and shared bicycles to expand the service margin as much as possible."
"As long as we keep doing it and things go on like this, we will be the ones who win the trust of our customers in the end."
Zhang Shuo is still very confident.
"That's the truth."
Pei Weiping is not stupid at all. He naturally knows the importance of honest management. Don't those centuries-old brands that have been passed down rely on the word "integrity"?
But this is easier said than done.
Especially under the impact of the market economy, people have become impetuous and greedy. Many so-called century-old brands have been defeated by the "greedy" hands of later generations.
For example, grandma and godmother.
Another example is those time-honored catering brands in the capital. They were so loud in the past, but in the end? All that's left is an empty plaque and a sense of arrogance.
Who goes to have a meal without being scolded as "unworthy of the name"?
Decline is inevitable.
Fortunately, as a reborn person, Zhang Shuo still has some conscience and persistence, and is willing to give up some short-term interests and do some seemingly thankless things.
Just wait!
Zhang Shuo firmly believes that as long as he persists in his original intention, the iron tree will bloom one day.
