Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

Tenda is a long-established industry giant. 🍪😝 ➅➈ⓈĤ𝕌ⓧ.¢𝐨𝔪 ☮♜

Haotuan is a rising star in the industry.

For such an important meeting, the investors of Haotuan were required to be present. IDG's president, Xiong Xiaoge, attended in person.

Xu Xin, on the other hand, was on a business trip abroad and unable to attend in person. However, to show that she valued the event, she sent Wang Hui, Senior Vice President of Today Capital, to sit in on the proceedings.

The investment manager sent by Tenda is named Yu Sheng. I heard that he has an outstanding track record in the investment field he is in charge of, and several Internet companies have successfully gone public.

The three groups quickly arrived and met in the conference room of Haotuan.com.

Li Haoyu also attached great importance to this meeting, and put on a business suit that he hadn't worn in a long time. "Mr. Yu, then I'll get straight to the point, after all, everyone's time is valuable."

Li Haoyu showed no stage fright and went straight to the point.

Yu Sheng also spoke up, "We've long admired you. This time, Haotuan.com is the main focus, so we're all all ears to hear your insightful opinions."

Xiong Xiaoge also laughed and said, "Old Yu, I admire his business acumen. You will definitely not have come for nothing this time. I believe you will gain a lot."

Li Haoyu opened the PPT and said, "Before the financing meeting, I would like to make a suggestion to Tengda: Haotuan and Tengda should cooperate across industries and launch a joint membership."

"Joint members?"

Several CEOs present pondered this new term for a moment.

"I was also inspired by WeChat Moments. I was amazed that communication combined with photo sharing could have such an explosive impact."

With a slightly exaggerated gesture, Li Haoyu shrugged and said, "Then why can't our two companies join forces and do something interesting?"

He continued, "Members of HaoTuan can use the membership privileges of Tengda's software, and vice versa. One price, two benefits—how could users not be tempted?"

Wang Hui echoed, "This is indeed a win-win situation for all parties. Both platforms will gain a significant number of new users."

Yu Sheng nodded in agreement, "Regardless of the outcome of this negotiation, I will definitely help push forward the joint membership initiative."

Li Haoyu smiled too, having won the first game.

His efforts weren't in vain.

After that, he gave everyone present a cell phone.

"Let's take a look at this first. This phone has both the HaoTuan and Lashou apps on it. You can compare them and see what the differences are."

Li Haoyu was utterly blunt from the start.

He directly compared it to Lashou.com, an industry benchmark.

"How do you feel about using two apps on the same phone?"

Yu Sheng became an investment manager primarily investing in the internet sector.

I have tested almost all the internet software on the market.

He tried it out and spoke first, saying, "Indeed, HaoTuan's app is much better adapted and smoother than Lashou.com, but this doesn't seem to be a fundamental difference."

Li Haoyu nodded slightly and asked, "Mr. Yu, why don't you actually place an order on Haotuan and see what changes this test version has?"

Yu Sheng took the phone, randomly selected a coffee shop, and ordered a few coffees. 😾♗ 🍟♟ When he saw the app page, it actually displayed the riders' activity routes in real time.

This made his expression change; it was indeed not as simple as it seemed.

Unexpectedly, HaoTuan had been keeping a secret, not releasing any new features.

"Mr. Yu, you also have a technical background, so you must know the technological sophistication behind seemingly simple functions." It's important to understand that when the number of orders and riders is large, the massive-scale computational challenges in matching supply and demand have always been a major hurdle.

"Not to mention holidays or bad weather, when orders accumulate and traffic peaks to ten times the usual amount. At these times, the demands on website technology are even higher."

"And it took HaoTuan half a year to finally resolve all of this."

Yu Sheng said without hesitation, "Indeed, compared to our competitors, this is a huge advantage, and quite crucial."

Li Haoyu excitedly slammed his hand on the table. "That's right, logistics fulfillment is a key link between online and offline, and users have extremely low tolerance for software glitches."

"This means the software cannot crash, orders cannot be lost, and availability requirements are extremely high."

Li Haoyu continued to explain, "Some things are not as simple as they seem on the surface. The Good Team has been quietly refining its internal strength, and this is one of the results we have achieved during this period."

Yu Sheng nodded, pondering the meaning behind the scene before him.

This is indeed a significant plus.

However, it still didn't match the huge valuation Li Haoyu demanded.

"If I were to say that Haotuan's business extends beyond group buying and food delivery, perhaps you would agree with my valuation of Haotuan.com. Please look at the big screen."

Li Haoyu waved his hand, and Guan Weiguang behind him immediately understood. He turned on the projector on the big screen, which displayed the HaoTuan logo and a brand-new promotional slogan.

Good Deals: Everything you need for eating, drinking, and having fun.

"The current Meituan is not perfect; it has only solved the user's need for food to be served."

"But as more and more merchants join the platform, map data becomes more accurate, and user habits are gradually understood, expansion will not be difficult."

"Currently, Haotuan only covers food and accommodation, but what if one day Haotuan covers all aspects of users' lives—clothing, food, housing, and transportation? How huge would that market be?"

Li Haoyu emphasized again, "The final form of a good group will far exceed your imagination."

After saying this, Li Haoyu addressed the group that had remained silent, asking, "President Xiong, President Wang, President Yu, if this is the case, do you think Haotuan's valuation is still high?"

Li Haoyu added, "Besides data processing and platform development, Haotuan has another trump card."

"As an internet company, Haotuan has used a big data platform to manage its riders from the very beginning. The platform is constantly collecting data while a rider is delivering food."

"Later I discovered something: when you have massive amounts of data, the results of big data analysis know you better than you know yourself."

"As a lifestyle service platform, Haotuan possesses a massive amount of user data, which is like a gold mine and also a moat that no competitor can surpass."

"We can even plan ahead and uncover the potential value of each user."

"Big data is not only the future of e-commerce, but also the future of the internet. Its role in various fields is becoming increasingly important. In the future, competition between companies will no longer be about other things, but about data."

"If one day we can use data to understand users' personal preferences, even their personal habits, and even postpone future behaviors based on data, all of this will bring far more than just money."

"perhaps……"

Li Haoyu stopped, looked at the silent conference room, and smiled enigmatically, "Perhaps it will shake the world, just like Magellan's discovery of the New World."

After a long silence, Xiong Xiaoge finally spoke.

"This is not something that can be accomplished overnight... It requires a lot of manpower and resources, and there are still many technical difficulties to overcome."

He couldn't resist lighting a cigarette, but before he could even take two puffs...

Xiong Xiaoge couldn't help but say, "But it really gets the blood pumping, even this old guy is getting a little restless."

Yu Sheng didn't speak, but he was already deeply moved.

It is precisely because he understands the internet and is knowledgeable about technology that he better understands what Li Haoyu's concept of big data means.

This is indeed a great undertaking.

It is a career worth dedicating one's life to.

More importantly, this project is more profitable than you might imagine.

He could earn much more money than he expected.
