In December, Lu’s Meituan launched a food delivery business, but it was not the first food delivery company in China. Of course, it was not Ele.me either.
Although Zhang Xuhao started delivering food in 2008, it was only in 2009 that he established the company.
The earlier one is Lihua Fast Food, which was born in the 1990s. It mainly operates takeout markets in Jingcheng and Shenghai. The delivery starts from one order and arrives in half an hour.
But because there is no concept of platformization, it eventually falls behind.
There are also Home Delivery and Mail Delivery, which were born in 2006 and 2007, both because of the lack of platform concept, and when the takeout O2O market is rapidly expanding, they appear to be a bit outdated.
Some economists have analyzed that one of the most important reasons why Ele.me loses market share to Meituan is actually its name.
The former sounds like a takeout business, but the latter has many other businesses besides takeout.
Regardless of preferential subsidies, one can only be used for takeout, while the other includes food, drink and entertainment. When the phone has insufficient memory and wants to delete one...
Therefore, Meituan later acquired shared bicycles and spent money to enter the online ride-hailing market, not just to expand its business, but to make the platform bigger and enhance user experience.
Of course, the takeout market is still in its infancy at this moment, and its spring has not really arrived.
The main reason is that mobile phones! The advent of the smartphone era will still take a little time.
In December, Lu Yan quietly established a mobile phone company in Jinling, and used a name he saw in online novels without any creativity, Shenzhou Mobile.
In addition, he also took the cross-department examination for the microelectronics major of the school to prepare for the remaining few years to contribute to the development of the mobile phone industry in the motherland.
But initially, he wanted to apply for Huaqing's microelectronics major.
However, the news leaked out and was known to the leaders in the hospital. The department head directly talked to him.
Why, the academician-level professors in this school can’t teach you, do you need to go to other schools to learn this thing?
But the reason why Lu Yan wants to go to the capital is mainly because the scientific research atmosphere there is stronger and it is easier to recruit talents!
But the school leaders don’t think so. Every semester, students are ranked number one in the entire department. If they go to other schools to study as graduate students, where does this put the school’s reputation? How can they be embarrassed to be called the number one in the country? I definitely can’t!
What's more, before Lu Yan graduated, he started a successful business and became a star in the school. If he went to Huaqing, who would be considered a talent? After some painstaking education and support guarantees from the department leaders, Lu Yan decided
Stay in Jinling.
In order to help Lu Yan recruit talents, the school also specifically allowed his company to conduct on-campus recruitment at the school.
Speaking of schools like Huaqing University, Beijing University, and Yangda University, not all companies can recruit at the school.
Because they are basically state-owned enterprises, scientific research institutes, Fortune 500 companies, public institutions, etc., such as China Telecom, Beijing News, Wanda, China Unicom, China Aerospace, China Resources Land, Sohu, Oppo, China Construction, BOE, Bank of Jiangsu, Peking University
Affiliated High School, Chongqing University and other companies.
If you were a business owner, you would be embarrassed to enter the venue!
However, Lu Yan's newly established "China Mobile" just set up a stall at the recruitment fair.
When students passing by saw it, their first reaction was a surprise. Which computer company makes mobile phones?
But looking at the people sitting inside, many people were even more stunned. Isn't this Lu Yan, the successful entrepreneur?
By the way, he is also a fresh graduate, and other classmates have prepared their resumes and are running around trying to figure out which company to apply for.
This guy is so nice, he put up a sign, set up a stall, and openly went here to recruit students.
They all studied in the same campus or even the same class for four years. The gap is too big!
Especially Lu Yan's classmates, when they meet each one, their first reaction is to say "Fuck!"
"Monitor, your company has just been established, so you just come here to fool your classmates in such an open manner? Is it appropriate?"
The person who spoke was Su Ke'er, a girl in the same class. She had some interest in Lu Yan at first, but she tried several times but the latter didn't respond. She also had many suitors, so she ended up with someone else.
Who would have expected that this Lu Yan would be a wealthy man and become a billionaire before he even graduated. Su Ke still felt a little emotional every time he thought of this.
My eyesight is still good, but it’s just a little short of it!
It's a pity that she was already with someone else, and later broke up with her partner, but she couldn't even catch Lu Yan's shadow.
The latter skipped classes more and more frequently, and his position as monitor was also given up. Many classmates had not seen Lu Yan for a long time.
…
"Our school is a famous school in the country, and the students are so outstanding, so of course we have to find entrepreneurial partners here!"
"Then can you look at me?" Su Ke sat down on the stool and straightened his body.
"You are very good, but I am setting up a mobile phone technology company and I need technical talents!" Lu Yan smiled.
Su Ke was not disappointed, and smiled sweetly, "But your company must have financial personnel. I have already passed the accounting certificate, CET-6 in English, and CET-2 in computer science. I should be qualified for accounting positions."
Shenzhou Mobile Company has just been established, and there are not many financial matters. He previously wanted to transfer people from the group buying company. He is also an old employee, so he can be more practical.
And Su Ke, a beautiful female classmate...!
Lu Yan hesitated for a few seconds and then said: "Speaking of Su Ke, this is a newly established small company. Narrator, there are many Fortune 500 companies. Aren't you afraid of delaying yourself?"
"But I think it's possible for you to turn a small company into a Fortune 500 company! By then, I'll be considered an entrepreneurial veteran! Even if I don't have any credit, I can still do some hard work!" Su Ke smiled brightly.
Full.
"Well, okay, three-month trial period, congratulations on joining!"
The two shook hands, and then Su Ke stood up and said, "Let me go in and help you!"
But in fact, there is another recruiter on Lu Yan's side, a human resources specialist transferred from Lu's Meituan Company, a thirty-year-old intellectual beauty.
She was happily sitting next to Lu Yan, but when she saw Su Ke coming around to take her seat, she immediately felt upset.
"These little girls are so young, they really don't care!"
Lu Yan glanced at Lu Yan a little aggrievedly, but the latter stood up and said to Su Ke: "Okay, come sit here with me for a while while I go to the bathroom!"
After leaving the booth, I went outside to smoke a cigarette.
He is not the kind of person who smokes every day, he only takes one when socializing occasionally, or when he is excited or irritable.
After I finished smoking, I went to the bathroom and returned to the booth. I found that many students in the class had gathered around, talking and laughing.
"Squad leader, why are you here when you are recruiting people? Just shout in the group and everyone will come!"
"That's right, we even went out of our way to be next to two state-owned enterprises. It was so irritating to us."
