Reborn multinational giant

Regardless of whether it is an angel investor or an investment fund investing in a company, the founders or senior executives of the company must inquire about the purpose of their investment. As a professional fund broker, Fu Xinming cannot fail to talk to Zhang Xu. Make these clear.

Zhang Xu shook his head and said, "Mr. Fu said it very clearly, but many times he mentioned that it was Mr. Fang’s instigation. I was thinking, if I could meet Mr. Fang in person and talk to you, then no matter what Are we hungry? We can all have a better explanation for the future development of your company or the investment of your company."

Fang Zhe smiled after hearing it. It turned out that even Fu Xinming, a professional fund broker, didn't fully understand Fang Zhe's intention to invest in Ele.me.

Fu Xinming used to hold important positions in a number of venture capital funds such as Sequoia China Tiger Fund, but he has always invested in the Internet industry. For the mobile Internet industry, although he has seen its development trend, he is aware that it is a big Opportunities are big news, but for O2O platforms like Ele.me that have nothing to do with the mobile Internet, Fu Xinming's answer to Zhang Xu is still half-knowledge.

For the time being, Fang Zhe didn’t think about improving Fu Xinming’s quality. Not to mention that this talent has just joined Zhongying Capital. He also had frequent job-hopping experiences before. If it weren’t for his ability to handle specific investment businesses, he was very good at it. It is also impossible for Fang Zhe to let him be responsible for the investment of Zhongying Capital.

And now, no matter whether it is domestic or foreign, Zhongying Capital basically acts as a listener. All investment intentions and investment goals are proposed by Fang Zhe. Fang Zhe does not want it. The fund has just started, and the insider is responsible. People have the idea of ​​starting a small stove on their own, and Fu Xinming's situation is exactly what Fang Zhe wanted.

"Let's talk about it, wherever there is a question, I can explain it to you as much as possible!" Fang Zhe didn't care about talking with Zhang Xu in detail. From the time he founded Is Hungry, he was destined to be hungry. Almost all the main poles of Ele.me and Ele.me’s future development are determined by him. Fang Zhe and others like external investors are at best trimming and pruning the branches, so that he and Ele.me can thrive.

"President Fang, why did you invest in our company, is it just because you are optimistic about the takeaway business or to cooperate with your company in the development of the payment business?" Zhang Xu asked first, his deepest question.

Fang Zhe nodded and said: "Indeed, from buying clothes and electrical appliances to take-out, it has almost become a development trend. Many people choose to order food online because they are lazy. So I feel that your company has Sufficient development potential, and another point is indeed to cooperate with Huizhong's development of payment business!"

With the establishment of the Alipay company, Huizhong began to make payments. It is no longer a secret, including other web game platforms, Tencent Baidu Ali and other big companies, have noticed that Huizhong has begun to enter the third-party payment field, but, Ali's Alipay and Tencent's Wealth Link are still very dismissive of this and do payment?Just rely on Zhongleshang to pay users, if it can be done, I write the word "horse" backwards!

Many people can see Huizhong's ambition to do payment, but few can see what Huizhong intends to rely on to develop its payment business.

"Anything else?" Zhang Xu asked, Fang Zhe answered these two points, just repeating the two points he asked, and he didn't get the answer he wanted to know.

"More?" Fang Zhe thought for a while, yes, yes, and it is very important, that is, I know if the accident is not big, the hungry you founded will become a giant in the food delivery industry in the future, so I invested in you , But how can I tell you such a reason?

Zhang Xu saw that Fang Zhe did not intend to go on, and realized that he could not get another answer. Therefore, he asked Fang Zhe a second question:

"President Fang, do you have any suggestions for the future development of our company?"

Seeing Fang Zhe watched him not speak, Zhang Xu explained: "I just think that Mr. Fang, you have established Huizhong within a year, and you have achieved today's achievements. No matter your vision or perspective, you are far beyond ordinary people, so I I really want to hear your opinion."

Fang Zhe thought for a while. He didn’t remember very clearly the development trajectory of Are You Hungry in the previous life. Among the few information he knew, this company started off by doing campus takeaways, and then expanded to white-collar workers and others. Among the general population, Fang Zhe asked:

"To be honest, I don't know much about your company's current development plan. If you are interested in saying something, I can listen to you and give you some reference."

Zhang Xu thought for a while. Fang Zhe was right. Maybe he and Ele.me think Huizhong Investment’s hungry is a very important matter, but to the other party Zhe and Huizhong, Are Hungry is just too many For Fang Zhe’s investment in the potential of his company, it’s hard to come by. How can he expect to get anything from him that is valuable for the company’s development?

Zhang Xu briefly introduced Ele.me’s current development status and strategic planning vision to Fang Zhe. As the behind-the-scenes boss of the two investors, Zhongying Capital and Huizhong, even if Zhang Xu told him this, it’s considered Without leaking secrets, all these things need to be disclosed to shareholders and investors. Investors should not be clear about the company’s current development status and plans, and they will invest.

After listening to Zhang Xu patiently, Fang Zhe understood Zhang Xu’s current development and planning ideas for Ele.me. It was basically no different from what he knew. It was nothing more than starting from campus takeaways and waiting for the scale to grow. Out-of-campus expansion, I don’t know if it is the trend that Facebook has brought to the country. Whether it’s hungry or later, ofo, the campus is targeted at the beginning.

But in Fang Zhe’s view, how much money students can have, just do social activities, do business, do takeaways, and finally fight at home, or off campus, probably because of whether it is Zhang Xu or ofo founder Dai Wei, When I started my business, I just graduated from university, and I was more familiar with the school, so I chose to start from the campus market.

"Just follow your ideas. I don't know your specific business very clearly, so I won't do anything dictatorial.

I just say two points. In the future, the real main battlefield of the takeaway market will still be outside the school. I hope you can think about it early. The other is that the mobile Internet era has come. I think you are all ordering meals on your computer now, whether it is Android. There is no corresponding APP service on Apple.

I suggest that you catch this piece as soon as possible. If I am correct, before the end of this year, Apple iPhone will enter China. At that time, the battle for the takeaway market on mobile phones will really start!"
