For a time, Lu Yan’s Weibo account was flooded with comments.
But not many people noticed that a person named Zhang Ahao commented: "I checked the information and found that he really started from scratch. It is really amazing that he can get to where he is today.
But you don’t have to rely solely on your family background. Of course, there are many rich second-generation people who are enjoying their income, eating, drinking and having fun. But there are also many people who are working hard without relying on the help of their family members.”
After replying, Zhang Ahao put the Shenzhou M1 mobile phone in his pocket, got on his electric bike, and went to deliver the food.
He is the founder of Ele.me, Zhang Ahao.
Even though he often delivered food on his electric bike in the early days of his business, he was not a grassroots person, but a genuine Shenghai businessman.
It is said that his grandfather was the "Button King" and his father was also in business. He has been reading financial news since he was a child. He is strong and strong and is a national second-level athlete. It is said that he even helped his father collect debts.
He comes from a businessman family, but he has a rough atmosphere, but he can also be called down-to-earth.
Because smartphones have not yet been widely popularized, although the mobile food ordering industry appeared early, it has not shown explosive growth.
Zhang Ahao's entrepreneurial partners all struggled to earn salaries of three to five thousand. After hearing that a couple of postgraduate students from Shenghai Jiaotong University opened a restaurant and made hundreds of thousands a year, they even thought about opening a restaurant.
In another time and space, in 2011, when the food delivery industry was not very good, this person even thought about giving up and wanted to mine coal to make money. He also went to Yulin for inspection and found that the money on hand could not buy a coal mine.
Can do transportation.
When he thought about it, transporting coal was also transporting, and delivering food was also delivery, so he persisted.
No one's success is easy.
Because there was something on his mind, and it was drizzling all over the world, Zhang Ahao flew out without even stopping the brakes. Lunch boxes and electric cars were scattered all over the floor, and a dozen takeaways were all spilled!
A kind person stopped, helped Zhang Ahao up after he fell, and asked him if he wanted to go to the hospital.
Zhang Ahao looked embarrassed and said in the drizzle that he was fine. He picked up the scattered takeaways one by one and threw them into the trash cans on the roadside before riding back to the restaurant and preparing to buy new ones for customers.
"Hey, when will my takeaway arrive? It's been almost an hour?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sir! It's raining today and I just fell down on the road. Now I'm going back to the restaurant to buy you a new one. I'll send it to you soon!"
"Oh, then... hurry up!"
Fortunately, the customers who ordered food today were more reasonable and did not hold back Zhang Ahao.
For example, Yue Yunpeng worked as a waiter at the age of 15. He was scolded for 3 hours when he wrote the wrong menu, and he refused to give up his orders. These people are easy to talk to.
However, after delivering all these dozen orders, it was already too late.
Back in the store, Kang Jia saw that he was a little embarrassed and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Hey, I accidentally fell down on the road and it all spilled!"
Zhang Ahao took off his hat and put it on the table, and wiped his face with a handkerchief.
Kang Jia added: "By the way, the rice noodle shop at the school gate wants a second-hand computer and asked us to send it over quickly!"
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
Zhang Ahao went to the warehouse to get a second-hand computer, put it in a cardboard box, sealed it with tape, covered it with a piece of plastic sheet, and moved it to a second-hand car.
There is a reason why the food delivery market in 2010 failed to grow as explosively as group buying websites.
In terms of group buying, users can find any computer to buy coupons, as long as their mobile phone can receive text messages. As for merchants, because they are relatively powerful, it is not difficult to add a computer to verify the coupons.
But takeout is different. Who would think of equipping an ordinary small restaurant with a computer?
Zhang Ahao noticed this and found that restaurant owners only used phone calls and text messages to take orders, often making mistakes. So he took advantage of the advantages of science students and built a website so that they can take orders through the Internet.
This is one of the reasons why Ele.me stands out among other food delivery websites and is successful.
In fact, there is also a small restaurant in Shenghai, run by students from Jiaotong University. It has a registered capital of one million, and some employees drive cars to deliver food and often deliver drinks, occupying a lot of market.
Zhang Ahao is more prudent and can implement many of his ideas.
If all restaurant owners near Jiaotong University accept computers, they will hopefully defeat other platforms.
It's just that it's easier said than done.
Computers in 2010 were still very expensive, and no ordinary boss would be willing to part with them. He took the trouble to negotiate from house to house, and went to several companies fifty or sixty times before signing the contract.
But new computers were still too expensive, so he thought of another way. He went to Qiujiang Road to assemble second-hand computers. After finishing, each computer only cost 1,500 yuan, and then he would sell it to the restaurant owner to make it easier for the restaurant owner to accept it.
Not only that, he also helps the bosses connect to the Internet and prevent viruses. As long as the restaurant owner calls, he will do it himself.
Just like in "China Partners", only Cheng Dongqing can become a real entrepreneur and leader.
Meng Xiaojun is too proud, Wang Yang is too romantic.
Only he can squat in the mud and start from the smallest things.
In times of crisis, stand up and dare to make decisions.
Entrepreneurs who have achieved great things throughout the ages have mostly been people who were able to relax, have perseverance and responsibility.
"Boss Lin, let me tell you, if you install this computer, your business will be even better!"
Zhang Ahao hugged the box, with some rain still on his face, but grinned.
Boss Lin looked sideways and said: "Oh, I can't help but pretend, the screen of the mobile phone is too small, my eyesight is too dim and I always make mistakes...!"
Halfway through the installation of the computer, Zhang Ahao suddenly received a call from Kang Ga, who said in an excited tone: "Ahao, how long will it take for you to finish the work?"
"It'll be fine soon, what's wrong?"
"Someone is optimistic about our company and wants to invest!"
Zhang Ahao was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise: "Really, which company?"
"It's an investment company that was established not long ago, called Samadhi Zhenhuo Investment Company!"
Zhang Ahao was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself: "Samadhi is really hot, so why the hell can everything be burned away?"
Question: "Who is the boss?"
"It's a woman named Su Li!"
Boss Lin said from the side: "Ah Hao, how long do you have to wait? As soon as it's dinner time, you should be busy!"
"Okay, okay, it'll be done right away!"
After Zhang Ahao said that, he hung up the phone and helped Boss Lin quickly finish the computer work. Then he hurriedly drove back to his company.
Sure enough, I saw a very beautiful girl sitting on the sofa, opposite Kang Ga who was smiling so hard.
Zhang Ahao stepped forward and said: "Su Li, the most beautiful school beauty of Fudan? Hello, I am Zhang Ahao!" After saying that, he stretched out his hand.
Su Li smiled, stood up, shook her hand lightly and said, "Hello, I don't dare to be the most beautiful school beauty!"
