At the beginning of the year, Ele.me has received millions of dollars in Series B investment from Matrix Partners China and Jinshajiang Venture Capital. Coupled with Ele.me’s unique sharing method, from a cash flow perspective, Ele.me has not run out of bullets.
Degree.
Full acquisition?
Is Mr. Gu kidding me?
Zhang Xuhao didn't answer the call for a long time. He just stretched out a hand to rub the phone in his hand, opened the interface and arranged for his subordinates to bring in a few more cups of coffee.
After much thought, he had no intention of accepting Gu Yun's proposal and shook his head to express his rejection.
"No, Mr. Gu, I'm not considering a full acquisition at the moment."
"Don't refuse in a hurry. Let me talk about our ideas and then think about it?"
Gu Yun laughed, he already knew that the other party would decisively refuse.
At this time, Meituan Waimai has not officially entered the market, and there is not even a single established competitor on the market. How could a visionary entrepreneur sell his hard work so easily?
What's more, all the investors and media people Gu Yun had contact with, including Gu Yun himself, all gave Zhang Xuhao high praise.
It’s not about how professional he is in a certain field, it’s purely about his aura and the leadership and confidence in this aura.
This is rare among entrepreneurs that Gu Yun has met face to face.
"First of all, as a start-up company, you are still in the expansion stage. You have no unicorn-level competitors now, right?"
Gu Yun paused for a moment, leaving Zhang Xuhao time to think.
"Um."
The latter nodded.
"As a colleague, you should know how Coffee Justice is distributed across the country, right?"
“Via Feige Logistics.”
Zhang Xuhao answered subconsciously, and then he seemed to sense a hint of Gu Yun's words. Could it be.
As we all know, Coffee Justice does not need to cooperate with any takeout platform. As a popular product all over the country, it has its own distribution logistics. Almost every city of a certain size will have Feige Logistics.
"Think about it, if our paradise group now announces its transformation into the food delivery industry, can Feige Logistics change its name to Feige Food Delivery?"
Gu Yun looked at Zhang Xuhao with a smile, his ambition ready to come out.
Compared to the guy in blue at Ele.me right now, Feige Logistics probably has a larger distribution staff and stronger business capabilities.
After all, they have already been established in major cities for who knows how long, so it probably doesn’t cost much to change their business.
Coupled with the dual advantages of Paradise Group's abundant talents and sufficient funds, if Gu Yun said a word, it would be no difficulty to set up a stage show and compete in the ring.
Zhang Xuhao was no longer as excited as he had just entered the reception room, and he fell silent.
In front of the Paradise Group, Ele.me, which had just started, was like a helpless grass.
So what if we strike first? If someone copies the brand name exactly, it can still be done in a decent way.
This world is so real. If you have capital and power, you will have the vast majority of say in negotiations.
“Secondly, if Ele.me accepts the acquisition proposal from the Paradise Group, Ele.me will maintain an independent brand and operate independently, and the rights of all Ele.me’s partners and merchants will be respected as always. At the same time, Ele.me will further
We have received full support from the Paradise Group in terms of new retail infrastructure, products, technology, organization, etc."
A typical slap and a sweet date were given. After Gu Yun frightened the other party, he immediately changed his style and began to draw a big cake.
He began to express that he welcomed Ele.me to join the big family of the Paradise Group.
Thanks to the efforts of founder Zhang Xuhao and his team, Ele.me has undoubtedly become a leader in domestic local life services.
If we can join hands in the future, Ele.me will rely on the commercial infrastructure of the Paradise Group's digital economic ecology, create a wonderful chemical reaction with the Paradise Group's many businesses, and become an important force in the Paradise's new retail strategy.
In the entire Internet circle, no one can ignore the increasingly significant influence of Paradise Group on the traffic side.
If you become a member of the park group, Ele.me will be more closely connected with the entire ecosystem, the mutual collaboration will be more efficient, and the synergy will be more significant. Ele.me users, merchants and partners will all share the benefits of the park ecosystem.
huge dividends.
For example, Ele.me can achieve a dream-level cooperation with the booming flagship product Doile.
Green onions are garnished on the yellow surface of the pancake, and red peppers fall into the simmering broth. The prawns lie neatly on the plate, and the tender meat is sizzling with oil.
Who hasn’t been attacked by such a “video assassin” in those empty late nights?
Seeing the tempting luster of the delicious food on the screen, you can only look at the plum blossoms to quench your thirst while enjoying the fun. You follow countless netizens to the comment area to lament and give angry likes.
But in the future, the situation may be different.
If Ele.me and DouLe jointly announce a cooperation and work together to explore new scenarios and upgrades of local life services, then through high-quality content, rich products and efficient logistics and distribution, they can deeply connect merchants and consumers, and in the video era
Bringing a new local life experience of "see now, click now, arrive now".
Doule has rich product scenarios and technical capabilities, and Ele.me has offline support from more than six figures of merchants. It can definitely provide hundreds of millions of daily users of Doule with local life services from content planting, online ordering to instant delivery.
.
More importantly, Paradise Group and Ele.me have a consistent strategic vision, and both have firm confidence in the new retail market. By joining the Paradise ecosystem, Ele.me's development platform will rise to unprecedented heights.
"You can rest assured that after the completion of this acquisition, the Paradise Group will immediately change its focus, using catering as the entry point for local life services, and Ele.me as one of the most frequently used takeaway services in local life services, combining word-of-mouth and data
Technology empowers offline catering merchants to provide in-store services, creating a chemical reaction and forming a new expansion into the local life service field."
Gu Yun had a sharp tongue, and he just lied to Zhang Xuhao, describing to him the future scenes one after another.
"Mr. Gu, if what you said can really come true, it would be a bit exaggerated."
Zhang Xuhao scratched his head. He was just an entrepreneur in one field. No matter how much he had ideas and plans, he could not compare to Gu Yun, a cheating player.
"Mr. Gu, I want to discuss this matter with the shareholders and management, is that okay?"
Meeting Gu Yun's playful gaze, Zhang Xuhao added, "But Mr. Gu, I can promise one thing. Even if everyone disagrees on the full acquisition, we can still accept the investment from Paradise Group."
Gu Yun nodded.
Hearing Zhang Xuhao's assurance, he felt reassured.
