Our Rise Era

Chapter 225 We want to be capital hunters!

"Are you sure you don't want to guard this store?"

"You are already a multimillionaire. You can make millions a year just by moving your fingers on the Internet..."

"Aren't you satisfied yet?"

"It's better to be down-to-earth. Have you ever heard of the saying, 'Aspirations are higher than the sky, but life is thinner than paper?'"

"..."

The pace of the times is rolling forward...

Some people cannot keep up with the tide of the times and are eventually eliminated.

However, some people, by chance, have reaped the benefits of the times.

And Ding Rong...

This is the person who has reaped the benefits of the times.

2 month 14 day.

Ding Rong left home with his luggage, amidst the puzzled looks of his mother and father.

The home appliance going to the countryside in 09 made an online store [Osmanthus Fruit Store] in [Xiaomi Mall] become popular overnight...

In less than three years...

With the support of the country and the rise of the e-commerce era, [Osmanthus Fruit Shop] once became a leader in this field.

From collecting fruits in the village to selling them online, gradually to the town, to the county, to the city, to the province...

During this period, Ding Rong and his parents witnessed the online store's profits increase from hundreds of thousands to millions, and Ding Rong even used "Osmanthus Fruit Shop" to become a brand.

Invited many franchisees to do...

As long as he concentrates on the business, there will be no problem in the future output value exceeding hundreds of millions. It is even possible that [Osmanthus Fruit Shop] will be listed in the future.

However, Ding Rong gradually felt that this was not what he should do.

He studied computer science...

I once had dreams.

Moreover, with the rapid development of the Internet, tools such as mobile phones have gradually become popular.

Even as the 3G era matures, the 4G era is quietly approaching and is expected to be officially released by the end of next year, that is, 2013...

And in this era, he always has to do something.

When he left the village with his luggage, his parents and villagers were a little puzzled, and naturally there was a lot of talk behind his back.

but……

Ding Rong did not stop.

Instead, he quickened his pace and got on the bus to Pengcheng.

……

After arriving in Pengcheng, he quietly walked into a company called "Speedy Takeout" and went in.

He saw several young men operating something.

Before graduation, they had agreed to start a business.

However, at that time, both parties had little experience and were very poor, so it was difficult to speak up. Ding Rong wanted to talk to Zhang Yang, but because his family's fruit shop business was booming, he needed people...

Eventually, the project was put on hold and all the young people started working…

But after 2012...

As some platforms emerged, he gradually became anxious.

....................................

"boss Zhang……"

“We want to do takeout!”

“This is the software we developed [Express Takeaway]…”

"This food delivery software can be used to order food online, on computers, but I have a feeling that after the 4G era comes out, it can be used on mobile phones... No, it can actually be used on mobile phones now, and our [Android] and [IOS] systems can be adapted..."

"There are food delivery systems on the market now, but their systems are very imperfect, there are not many customers, and the penetration rate is also very low. The capital market has not paid any attention to this thing..."

"But I think if we can control this market, in the future..."

"..."

Pengcheng.

【Wheat Technology】Headquarters.

Ding Rong silently placed the notebook on Zhang Yang's desk and carefully introduced the words "Extreme Speed Takeaway".

The interface of [Speedy Takeaway] is very simple, including ordering, delivery, merchant pictures, after-sales service and rider service.

After Ding Rong finished his introduction, he looked at Zhang Yang's expression and found that Zhang Yang's expression was very calm, and he didn't seem surprised. "Mr. Zhang, what I mean is..."

"Are you planning to do this?" Zhang Yang interrupted Ding Rong before he finished speaking.

"Yes……"

"I have been following your [Osmanthus Fruit Shop]. This brand is now very famous throughout the country. If you invite franchisees while the brand is popular and set up franchise brands all over the country and operate it well, the scale in the future will not be small. A market value of billions or even tens of billions will not be a problem..." Zhang Yang said with a smile.

"But I want to do this..." Ding Rong shook his head, his eyes determined.

"confirmed?"

"Mr. Zhang, we have known each other since 07. At that time, you were [Capital Nightmare] and I was a college student who had just entered university. I joined your self-deprecating QQ group... We communicated a lot at that time. You should know that I will not change what I decide to do... I don't want to be mediocre. I want to be the boss of a big brand in the true sense, like [Xunteng] and [Soudu]... I want to be capital..." When saying this, Ding Rong's expression was a little complicated, for fear that Zhang Yang would laugh at him.

But he didn't see any ridicule on Zhang Yang's face. Instead, he nodded, his expression gradually becoming serious: "This project can be done, but if I say that once I invest in this project and it achieves some results, there will be a bloody storm, dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of competitor brands will appear at the same time, and even companies like Xunteng Technology, Baotao, and Sodu will step down, what do you think?"

"I..." Ding Rong was stunned when he heard this.

He had never thought so far...

After seeing Ding Rong's reaction, Zhang Yang smiled and said, "If you are determined to do this project, I will help you to promote it... I have several electric vehicle brands behind me, and I can customize electric vehicles for special food delivery riders. I can cooperate with you to recruit riders at any time..."

"Mr. Zhang, what should I do?"

"Make good software. It would be best if we could make dozens of food delivery software at once, register dozens of food delivery companies, and then burn money..."

“???” Ding Rong was confused.

"I'll give you 1 million for the initial capital. Just sign this contract and do what I say..."

"1 billion?"

When he heard this, Ding Rong suddenly stood up from his chair.

"What you need to do is very simple. After maintaining the system, the next step is to let your own brands fight with each other and burn money against each other. Of course, these things must be done in secret... If you continue to ask me for more after the 1 million is burned, I will invest 2 million in you..."

After hearing what he said next...

Ding Rong was so shocked that he didn't know what to say!
"I make dozens of food delivery apps. We compete with ourselves. We... burn our own money? We compete in the market ourselves?"

After taking a long breath, he panted, stared at Zhang Yang closely, and asked such an unbelievable question.

in case……

Either I am crazy or Mr. Zhang is crazy!
One hundred million!
What is this for?
"Boss Ding, there is actually no shortage of money in this world... In fact, as long as you are willing, you will find that there is money everywhere... Everyone is looking for a suitable project, and then, they will throw all their money into it..."

"..."

"Of course, there are many greedy people in this world. Look at the people in the photovoltaic industry before. They poured hundreds of millions into the market without even frowning... Many of them are gamblers..."

"..."

Zhang Yang patted Ding Rong on the shoulder and said this to him.

Ding Rong's head was buzzing. He took a long time to calm down. "Mr. Zhang, what you mean is that we should use our food delivery software to attract others and invest money to open up the market... Then, let more investors pay attention to this project and all come to invest money? Make this market bigger?"

"Yes!" Zhang Yang nodded with a smile: "If you want to catch the fish, you have to put in enough bait..."

"But, isn't it good for us to create our own brand? Now, while other food delivery apps are not yet popular, we can seize the market in various ways. After we have the upper hand, we can use the number of users to..."

"Boss Ding, do you remember the era of copycat phones a few years ago?"

"Remember, then..."

"In the era of copycat phones, when everyone realized that this project could make money, they all rushed into this field like crazy... Similarly, if they see that your [Express Takeout] suddenly rises, will a group of people rush in to compete with you? When everyone knows that this is a piece of fat meat, will they come to take a bite? Also, is it difficult to develop a [Express Takeout] website?"

When he heard this, Ding Rong was in a trance for a moment, and nodded after a moment: "So..."

“Instead of waiting for more competitors to appear around you, and for everyone to get a lot of money from the capital and start spending money, it is better for you to simply expand the market, expand the market, and take control of the market initiative!”

When Zhang Yang said this, his expression was very serious: "We want to be capital hunters instead of capital. Capital gets money from the people, and we not only want to get money from the pockets of capital, but also make them willingly spend money to bring down Internet giants such as Xunteng Technology, Baotao.com, and Sodu..."

"Will they come down? After all, this is a food delivery platform... and anyone can do it..."

"Just do it with confidence, and leave the pushing behind the scenes to me!"

"Wait a minute!"

Zhang Yang was silent for a while...

Then he took out his cell phone and made a call.

Soon afterwards, there was a knock on the office door.

"What's the matter? Mr. Zhang, I'm soaking my feet in the foot massage parlor next door..."

Chen Tiangui, wearing a yellow bathrobe and holding a cigar, hurried over and looked at Ding Rong strangely.

Zhang Yang looked at Chen Tiangui with a smile: "Want to play the capital game?"

"Yo? What capital game?"

"You hit me, I hit your game..."

"..."
