Meituan, owned by Lu Yan, has actually had a food delivery division for a long time, but it has not allocated resources and vigorously promoted it.
Because once he makes efforts in this direction, it will inevitably attract capital to enter the food delivery market.
Previously, Meituan, China Mobile, etc. had unstable foundations and could not cope with multi-front operations.
But in 2014, the situation was different again.
Meituan has been operating for many years and its market position has become increasingly stable. It has an advantage over Dianping and Nuomi. The merger is only a matter of time.
The shipment volume of China Mobile last year has risen to the first among domestic brands. Under the leadership of Rebus, there is no need for him to worry too much.
Hongmeng Mobile, led by Yu Chengdong, specializes in the high-end market. Although its shipments are limited, it is developing steadily.
Yixing Taxi also has great advantages over Kuaidi, and merger negotiations are ongoing.
After the merger, the domestic Internet taxi-hailing market share will reach more than 90%, becoming a behemoth with a monopoly market.
It is also the most promising by the capital market. Some financial magazines predict that after the merger of Yixing Taxi and Kuaidi, its valuation is likely to exceed US$50 billion.
When the merger of these projects is completed, Lu Yan, who holds a huge share of the shares, will be able to further increase his wealth.
But becoming the richest man is probably not that easy.
Ahri and Penguin have formed a bipolar structure in China's Internet market, and their wealth is also growing rapidly.
However, Lu Yan also owns the "Big Times" Internet company, whose main product is "Daily Toutiao", and now the number of users has skyrocketed. He secretly plays jungle and develops out of the sight of Penguin and Ahri.
As long as it can replace "Zijie Jump" and Penguin, Ali will dominate the domestic Internet market.
Therefore, Big Times Network Company is the focus of Lu Yan’s development.
The takeout war should be considered as building plank roads openly and building warehouses secretly!
Let’s do something!
After the Spring Festival, Lu Yan first asked Song Jing out for a drink.
To do something good, you need two things: money, food and manpower.
In terms of funds, he has no shortage of funds. Now Meituan has abundant cash flow and is not afraid of the subsidy war.
Furthermore, the taxi subsidy war has allowed capital to see that burning money can really cultivate the market, and the worst case scenario is refinancing.
So in addition to money, what is needed is people, and people who are trustworthy and capable.
There were six buddies in the dormitory. The eldest, Wu Yukun, became a civil servant. The eldest, Zhang Xun, studied in the United States and never came back. Three of his buddies started a business with him.
Among the three, Song Jing has the most stable personality, Yu Shuangpeng is more active in thinking, and Xu Jiaqing has more evil ideas, but is also more out-of-the-box.
Lu Yan originally wanted Xu Jiaqing to host the takeout stall.
I don't think that boy was so addicted to picking up girls that he would cause such trouble that even Jinling would not dare to stay, so Lu Yan had no intention of promoting him to a regular position.
Yu Shuangpeng did very well in Yixing Taxi, and Lu Yan was not planning to transfer him, so he planned to push Song Jing to the position of president of the food delivery division.
In Beijing, at a barbecue restaurant near Song Jing's family community, someone came and asked for a private room, and they chatted while drinking.
Lu Yan didn't show any courtesy to him and went straight to the point.
"How about changing your position?"
Song Jing was stunned when she heard this, the hand holding the wine glass shook, and asked: "Where can I change it?"
"I am planning to vigorously develop the food delivery business this year, and I want you to serve as the president of the food delivery business department!"
"I'll take a sip first to calm down the shock!"
Song Jing finished speaking, drank the wine in the glass, and said: "The project you want to develop vigorously will definitely be good. I am just worried that my lack of ability will delay the development of the company."
He has stayed in the capital for several years. Although he is comfortable, his enterprising spirit is not as good as before.
I seek stability more and more, fearing that one day I will become the defeated general.
Lu Yan chuckled and said: "Currently, there is no capital to enter the domestic food delivery market. The only ones with a slight market size are our Meituan Food Delivery and Shenghai's Ele.me. Let me tell you, Ele.me.
Bian, I have already invested in it!"
Song Jing was really stunned when she heard this.
After a while, he said: "Damn it, Brother Yan, you made the plan early enough!"
Lu Yan waved his hand and said: "It's not of much use. This market is not about Meituan and Ele.me competing for the world, nor is Meituan and Ele.me competing for the world with other food delivery companies.
Instead, we compete with other capitals for the market.
As long as they see the potential of this market, they will support a company, or create a company overnight, and spend money to work with us."
After saying this, how could Song Jing not wake up and said: "I understand, we are not fighting against any company, but against profit-seeking capital!"
"Yes, but we still have advantages here. First of all, we have an early layout and have complete products and models. Furthermore, later stage financing can also bring in some capital...!"
Song Jing listened to Lu Yan's words and then said: "Okay, since Brother Yan has promoted me, I will take over this important task! She is my wife...!"
"I will support your wife by myself!"
Of course, Lu Yan was just thinking about this in his mind and was not joking randomly.
After asking, I found out that Song Jing's daughter-in-law, Huang Lulu, was pregnant.
Lu Yan said: "Then let her rest at home and ask your parents-in-law to accompany her."
Song Jing said: "Well, that's my plan too. You also know that pregnant women are sensitive and suspicious. I'm afraid, well, I'll go back and talk to her. Then I'll have to go to Jinling, right?"
"Well, it's okay. I have a house over there. You two and your mother-in-law's family can all live there!"
Song Jing chuckled: "Brother Yan just has more money and more houses!"
After returning home, Song Jing told her daughter-in-law Huang Lulu what happened today, and the latter was extremely happy.
He said: "I have long thought that it is time for you to be promoted. Regional boss, which sounds like a boss, but is actually a middle-level manager."
When Song Jing heard this, she smiled bitterly and said that she had to go to Jinling to work, but Lu Yan could accommodate them in the villa there.
Huang Lulu became more and more happy and walked around the living room with her belly puffed out.
"It's good. I've actually wanted to change to a bigger house for a long time. This small house can make people feel depressed to death!"
Song Jing couldn't help but said, "Didn't you say two years ago that this house was bright and spacious?"
Huang Lulu waved her hand and said, "Speaking of that, your physique was still strong in the past two years!"
Song Jing's face darkened when she heard this, and she rolled her eyes at her wife, "Don't talk to that nonsense!"
Huang Lulu also felt that she was going too far. She was afraid that her husband would be really angry, so she said with a smile: "Oh, I'm just talking nonsense, don't take it seriously. But to be honest, when can you buy a villa, then I will be happy to death!"
"It's coming soon. You also know how well our company is developing. After two years, the company will be listed. Your husband and I will be worth hundreds of millions and have a villa in minutes!"
"Come on, given the rising rate of housing prices in the capital, by the time your company goes public, it is estimated that a villa in the capital will cost hundreds of millions!"
