Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

At six o'clock in the evening, an ordinary middle-aged man wearing a down jacket came to the door of Xiaonanguo Chinese Restaurant.

After walking into the restaurant, the waiter at the door politely asked: "Hello, sir, are you alone? Or do you have to make a reservation in advance?"

The middle-aged man smiled gently and said, "Box 201, my friend is here."

"Okay, please come with me." The waiter smiled and nodded, leading the middle-aged man all the way to the second floor and finding box 201, the deepest part of the corridor.

After knocking on the door, the waiter heard the voice of "Please come in" and opened the door to let the middle-aged man enter.

"Secretary Zhao, hello, hello, long time no see."

Pei Qinglan was the first person in the box to stand up and looked at Secretary Zhao with a smile.

Seeing that several other people were about to stand up to greet them, Secretary Zhao smiled and raised his hand to stop him, found a chair and sat down, and said to the people inside: "Today is a private meeting and chat, no need to be so polite, we are just having a meal.

"

"Okay, let's serve the food first and let's talk while eating." Pei Qinglan sat back on the chair and said to the waiter at the door, "Please start serving the food."

"Okay, everyone, please wait a moment." The waiter politely exited the room.

After the waiter left, Secretary Zhao sat down and looked around, finally his eyes fell on Xu Xing on the right.

With his energy, it is naturally a relatively simple matter to find out the identity of the boss behind Qunxing Company.

As early as WeChat came into their internal sight, Xu Xing's personal information and life experience, as well as detailed family background inquiries, had all been sorted out and submitted to his desk.

"This is Mr. Xu Xing, right?" Secretary Zhao looked at Xu Xing with a smile, his personal information was circulating in his mind, "It's better to be famous than to meet him."

Even though he had read Xu Xing's personal information in the documents, Secretary Zhao couldn't help but sigh inwardly when he actually saw Xu Xing in person and saw how young he was.

Really too young.

"Hello, Secretary Zhao." Xu Xing stretched out his hand naturally, and after shaking hands with him briefly, he reached out to the wine bottle on the table and asked, "Are you drinking white or beer?"

"Just beer, we won't drink too much."

Xu Xing stood up, poured wine for Secretary Zhao himself, and introduced the identities of the others present.

Among them, Yao Yuanyuan and Yan Chijuan are both original team members of Qunxing Company, while Zhang Nong is Xu Xing’s college roommate and is currently responsible for the promotion of E-Me takeout.

Secretary Zhao had a brief understanding before coming here.

But what he saw the most was Xu Xing's personal information.

And I couldn't read it again, and even asked my trusted subordinate to go and investigate it in person to confirm the authenticity of the situation.

The most fundamental reason here is that Xu Xing is too clean!

Not only his personal resume, but also his family background are all clean and there is no fault to be found.

My grandfather is a retired soldier and has won many honors and medals. Both his father and mother have normal jobs. Before Xu Xing started playing games, his father was the deputy manager of the production department of a foundry and his mother was the owner of a personal clothing store.

Logically speaking, Xu Xing's family background is very superior compared to most ordinary people in the country.

But compared to other so-called "self-made" people, the innate conditions of Xu Xing's family are indeed not outstanding.

He also couldn't provide any decisive help in Xu Xing's career.

As far as they knew, the initial development funds of Qunxing Company were only tens of thousands of yuan.

In addition, Xu Xing's parents did not provide even a trace of human resources.

The pace of development of Qunxing Company was basically driven by the young man Xu Xing himself.

Generally speaking, if a company as big as Qunxing Company rises in a short period of time, it is likely to involve some unspeakable things.

Some things may not involve legal issues, but they are not easy to bring to the table. Secretary Zhao is mentally prepared for this.

But what he didn't expect was that Xu Xing, a young man, really made a career out of his own abilities.

The only thing that may be criticized is that he poached many employees from a certain degree.

However, this kind of thing is normal business competition. Compared with some more gray things, it is already extremely clean.

Originally, he thought that Pei Qinglan might be secretly fueling the rapid development of Qunxing Company.

After all, his daughter is in charge of finance in this company, so it’s hard not to think about it.

But the final investigation proved that it seemed to have nothing to do with it.

The biggest relationship may be that when Tianshu Studio was first established, Pei Qinglan lent Xu Xing a private room in the Internet cafe for two months for free.

In the eyes of Secretary Zhao and others, this is indeed something incredible.

An Internet company with a market value of tens of billions that has risen rapidly in half a year has such a clean and transparent resume.

There is no financing, let alone access to external capital.

The cash flow is healthier than that of many real companies.

Although the main source of income is mobile games, it is not limited to a certain IP, but has many branches, and every mobile game is very popular.

Coupled with core social products such as WeChat, and industries involving the Internet + food delivery that can provide a large number of jobs.

Where else can you find such high-quality benchmark companies?

Especially the WeChat that Qunxing Company is holding now. If it can complete its occupation of the social field, Qunxing Company will almost certainly have a ticket to the wave of the mobile Internet era.

"Eat the food first, and let's talk slowly." Seeing the waiter walking in with the food, Secretary Zhao took the wine glass that had been filled by Xu Xing, and guided the conversation by saying, "I heard from Mr. Pei that you want to talk about food today.

What about the takeaway, I’ll listen to it first, you don’t mind, right?”

"Why do you mind?" Pei Qinglan said with a smile, "I have to ask Secretary Zhao to check and see if there are any omissions."

"In this regard, people in the industry like Mr. Xu must know better. I am here to learn today." Secretary Zhao said very modestly, "As the saying goes, a master is a teacher, regardless of age. Mr. Xu can't hide it today.

It also helps me rise in the world."

"That's not the case. I can only throw some light on things. In the general direction, people like you, Secretary Zhao, have to see it more clearly." Xu Xing also said a few polite words.

Afterwards, several people started chatting about the takeout.

Pei Qinglan had already learned the basic situation from Zhang Nong before, but Secretary Zhao had just arrived, so Xu Xing still asked Zhang Nong to give a brief introduction.

Fortunately, he had Pei Qinglan's paving the way. After training with Pei Qinglan, Zhang Nong did not have too much stage fright when facing someone with an obviously higher status like Secretary Zhao, and completed his tasks dutifully.

But this also has something to do with Xu Xing being there to support him.

If he were left to face such a battle alone, he might not be able to withstand it.

Secretary Zhao listened while eating the food, nodding from time to time without any intention of interrupting. After Zhang Nong introduced them all, he asked: "How many delivery workers do you have now?"

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

"Each school is equipped with approximately 20 to 30 to 50 to 60 delivery workers. Currently, there are more than 5,000 registered delivery workers, but only half of them are actually working every day," Zhang Nong explained.

"Because many college students work part-time, and the current business model is mainly within universities, that's why this is the case."

"Oh, that's it." Secretary Zhao didn't ask any more questions, just nodded, thoughtfully.

Pei Qinglan, who was opposite, asked at the right time: "Have you ever considered expanding into areas other than universities in the future?"

"That's definitely possible, but it's not the time yet." Xu Xing nodded and shook his head, "At least in the next few months, until the end of next summer, our business goal will be domestic university business."

"Tell me the reason?" Secretary Zhao is not too concerned about universities in other provinces and cities, and is more concerned about whether this takeout business can be promoted in other areas of Shanghai. "Can we also deliver takeout in ordinary areas?"

"There are a lot of factors involved, so I'll briefly explain them first." Xu Xing touched his chin, thinking about how to say it more appropriately, and then his eyes fell on the dining table.

"Secretary Zhao, Mr. Pei, how about I ask a few questions first?"

"You asked."

"Let's use an analogy. For example, we are all newly registered delivery people."

"Well, okay, what next?"

"Then we want to deliver food, right? Now we are picking up food at this Xiaonanguo restaurant and preparing to deliver it to customers who have placed orders." Xu Xing said this, and then quickly reported several addresses, "Building 5, Huajingyuan

Unit 402, Unit 1, Finance Office, 24th Floor, Tianyuan International Building, Second Factory Building of the Winery, No. 182 Songji South Road."

As soon as these words came out, Secretary Zhao showed a look of surprise on his face: "This is similar to a taxi driver. The delivery person needs to be familiar with the surrounding environment. Otherwise, it will take a long time just to find a place, and wait until he finds the place."

It’s all cold.”

"Yeah." Xu Xing nodded, "But this can be solved. The system we currently configure for delivery workers also has its own navigation function, but it will be better if the delivery staff can be more familiar with the local conditions."

"However, it's not just about this issue. The key lies in the last thing you just mentioned, Secretary Zhao."

"Huh?" Secretary Zhao raised his eyebrows and immediately responded, "Is the dish cold?"

"Yes." Xu Xing said, "If it is just a university market, after the surrounding restaurants have delivered the meal, the delivery person can deliver the meal in about a few minutes to ten minutes, and it can still keep the temperature."

"But if the scope is expanded and the delivery distance is increased to several kilometers, the time it takes for a delivery person to deliver a meal is likely to increase to ten or twenty minutes, or even more than half an hour."

"This means that the heat preservation of dishes is a big problem. We must cooperate with relevant takeout box OEMs to develop a takeout box suitable for heat preservation and portability to completely solve this problem."

"Then you are quite thoughtful." Secretary Zhao nodded, but still said, "But that's not the reason why you don't expand, right? Wouldn't it be better to occupy the market first?"

"The other reason should be more fundamental." Xu Xing spread his hands and said, "User habits are difficult to change in a short period of time."

“The user habits I’m talking about here are not just customers ordering food, but also restaurants serving meals.”

"Customers need to get used to ordering food on their mobile phones half an hour to an hour in advance and waiting for the goods to arrive."

"Restaurants also need to get used to this online ordering model and prepare special equipment for takeout."

"The cost of cultivating user habits will be greater than imagined. The more impatient you are, the more thankless it will be."

Listening to what Xu Xing said, Secretary Zhao and Pei Qinglan both fell into thinking.

These things are actually very simple. If Xu Xing mentions them a little, the two of them can find more details in a divergent manner.

But what made them a little puzzled and surprised was that Xu Xing's behavior did not look like he was an Internet company.

After all, most Internet companies will not consider so many of your problems. They will launch the project first.

The bigger the picture, the better. Get the money from investors, then burn the money quickly, in exchange for prosperity, promote the rapid growth of data, and then enter the next cycle.

How can anyone keep talking about shortcomings in front of investors?

"Are you sure that after you say this, I will still invest in Chiyou?" Pei Qinglan laughed and said, "Why do you feel that you are not looking for investment, but trying to persuade me to quit?"

"Investment decisions made with clear market risks can ensure that we will not have disagreements and disputes in the direction of development." Xu Xing was rarely sincere, "Although I mentioned a lot of shortcomings, I have dealt with them all.

Plans, but these require time and money and cannot be rushed into overnight."

"Then do you need any help?" Secretary Zhao said thoughtfully, "There will be a national university research summit next month. Since you plan to promote it within the university first, do you want to pay attention to it? The venue is us.

Shanghai Stock Exchange.”

Hearing the news, Xu Xing raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect the benefits to come so quickly.

"Of course, if possible, I have to trouble Secretary Zhao." Xu Xing said with a smile, "But before that, we have to see what President Pei's intention is."

"If Tencent Alibaba or some degree gets involved, do you have any response?" Pei Qinglan asked a question that most investors would consider.

"If you can't beat me, just join." Xu Xing blinked spinelessly, "Eeme is not WeChat. I will use it to raise funds alone, so I am ready for this. As long as WeChat is deeply tied to Chime

Ding, no matter how turbulent Mieme is, it will not be free from the influence of WeChat."

"Speaking of this." Secretary Zhao on the side couldn't help but interjected, "Compared to eating, I am more interested in WeChat now. Is Mr. Xu interested in talking about it in detail?"
