"What are you thinking about?" Xu Xing glanced at Lu Pengyou speechlessly, and then opened the above web page and showed it to Zhang Nong, "Didn't you ask me before why you should pay more attention to Xuexia peripherals?

Is the restaurant's takeout order business? You can take a look at this first."

The three people in the dormitory gathered around curiously and looked at the web page opened on Xu Xing's computer. The name of the website was at the top——

【Eime takeaway platform】

"What does this mean?" Lu Pengyou asked, "a food delivery platform?"

"It's just a website that can be used to order takeout." Xu Xing flipped the page, and various classified columns quickly appeared below, but at this time they were all blank. He simply introduced, "As long as you can invite merchants to settle in, users can

You can order takeout from any store you want directly on this platform.”

“The website has just been built and the mobile APP is still being developed, so it looks relatively rudimentary.”

"In addition, there is a merchant version of the exclusive software. After the merchant registers, he can adjust the menu and pricing of his own store in his own backend."

Listening to what Xu Xing said, the three of them were a little confused.

Jian Jiashu's first reaction was: "It's like Taobao e-commerce? It just changes from other products to the form of meals. This platform is used to connect merchants and users?"

"Yes." Xu Xing nodded, "What we have to do is very simple. First, we invite stores with a sufficient number of surrounding categories and rich enough categories to join the platform. Second, we let more users know about the existence of the platform and choose to use the platform.

When ordering takeout, the last step is to find a group of delivery people to help us deliver the takeout."

"Fuck you." Lu Pengyou was shocked after hearing this, "Then we can just lie down and collect the money?"

Xu Xing: "..."

If only things were that simple.

Although Xu Xing said it is simple, every step will be very difficult to implement.

Not to mention lying down to collect money, it is difficult to make money standing up. In the early stage, you will probably have to kneel down to burn money.

However, Xu Xing's purpose of doing takeout was not to make money, he had other plans for the role of this business.

However, in the initial stage of a food delivery platform, starting from a university campus is the safest and most cost-effective way.

First, college students have a strong demand for takeaways, and the addresses are single, mostly concentrated in dormitory buildings and libraries.

Second, there are a large number of surrounding businesses with rich categories, and they are not far away, so it will be relatively easy to conquer them.

Third, there are actually many college students who are short of money. Many people are willing to work as takeaways to earn some extra money. In addition, they are all familiar with the address of the school, which eliminates the problem of familiarizing themselves with takeout routes in the early stage.

This is why Xu Xing came to Zhang Nong and wanted to get him into the car.

Because Zhang Nong has been delivering food for the past month, and because Xu Xing asked him to pay attention to things, Zhang Nong at this time is not only the person who knows the most about food delivery in the surrounding area, but at least he is familiar with it.

It would be a good thing if I could help Zhang Nong.

Moreover, in addition, he has other purposes, and he can also try and expand through the takeout project.

As for money?

If the early takeout expansion was limited to the area around Min Da, it wouldn’t actually cost much money.

When we reach the stage where we need to burn a lot of money in the future, at least it will be after next year.

By then, even if he directly sells the food delivery platform, he will make a profit, not to mention that Xu Xing has other ideas, but he will have to wait until then to make a judgment based on the specific situation.

"So you let me know about the food delivery situation in the surrounding area just to find opportunities to promote this platform?" Zhang Nong pondered for a moment and asked, "But whether people are willing to join is still a question, right? In addition, publicity in schools is also a problem.

.”

"This website was made by my uncle, and he will be responsible for the subsequent APP." Xu Xing said, "A company will be set up at that time, and my uncle will provide all the funds. You only need to be responsible for the execution, and the salary will be at least higher than yours."

Now it’s more valuable to earn money through hard work.”

"So this is a project that your uncle plans to start a business?" Jian Jiashu on the side suddenly asked.

"No." Xu Xing shook his head, "I borrowed the initial funds from my uncle. He was only responsible for software development. I contributed the funds for the establishment of the company."

"So Brother Xu, are you going to start a business?" Lu Pengyou realized it at this time and exclaimed, "Damn, you are a bit outrageous. Aren't you afraid of losing money?"

"The initial investment was only a few hundred thousand, all given by my uncle."

The starting capital within the university did not require much, and Xu Xing did not want to get it right in one go. Many things had to be explored slowly through trial and error, especially the specific management and promotion of the food delivery platform. He had never understood it in detail in his previous life.

At this stage, you still have to take it one step at a time.

But just when Lu Pengyou was still surprised, Jian Jiashu next to him smiled and asked: "Brother Xu, can I help with this project of yours? I am currently at the Association of Electrical Engineering Institute and can contact major associations.

It can also be helpful for publicity.”

"Huh?" Xu Xing raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Jian Jiashu to say this suddenly. He looked at him more carefully, then thought for a moment and asked, "Can I contact the club?"

"It should be possible, right?" Jian Jiashu thought for a while, "If you are willing to provide sponsorship, various club activities are actually happy to help promote this kind of thing, especially for larger clubs, the activities are more popular and there will be many people participating.

.”

"Wait, wait, wait! Are we starting to discuss the publicity strategy now?" Lu Pengyou was a little confused after hearing this development, but he didn't know if it was because he was enthusiastic, so he immediately raised his hand and asked, "Then I will too.

Can you come and help?"

"I joined the Organization Department before, and now I work in the Propaganda Center, and I have contact with the Propaganda Department."

"If you want to publicize it, it's easy to get support for our college student entrepreneurship projects."

At this time, Zhang Nong, who had calmed down, also said: "The Service Department has a lot of registration information left by poor students and students who just want to work part-time to make extra money. We can also go there to publish information about recruiting delivery workers."

"In addition, on the merchant side, I also know a lot of delivery people from other stores around, and many of them are students from our school."

"If we can get them all together, we should be able to quickly organize a takeout delivery team."

Xu Xing looked at the three roommates and blinked. He didn't expect that he had just proposed an idea. Even the website and software were still in the development stage, and he only came up with a semi-finished product. They were already so eager to participate.

However, with their relationship at the school, Xu Xing does not need to directly use money to clear the way, which may save a lot of initial investment.

"Okay." Xu Xing nodded and agreed, "Then I will be responsible for the decision-making of software development and operation promotion, Zhang Nong will be responsible for the entry of takeout merchants and the establishment of the delivery team, and Lu Pengyou and Jian Jiashu will be responsible for external publicity and attracting users."

"But it will take a few more days to be specific. The software on my side has not been developed yet."

"We can start with the preliminary preparations."

Morning classes were about to start, so the four of them decided briefly.

Ever since, the prototype of a start-up company was born seemingly casually before the morning class in the Min University classroom.

…

On September 29, Eat.me Network Services Company was officially registered and established.

Xu Xing invested 1 million yuan, accounting for 100% of the shares.

Zhang and Nong were recruited by Xu Xing with a monthly salary of 6,000 and became the first batch of management personnel, responsible for specific promotion and publicity execution.

At the same time, with Dai Zhuoshan’s main focus in the early stage being on the research and development of the Qieme platform, coupled with Xu Xing’s design control over the details of the platform, a lot of trial and error and modification costs were saved, and the project advanced.

Very quickly.

The 1.0 version of the mobile version of Eat.me was also launched simultaneously on this day and was displayed in front of Zhang Nong and others.

However, just as Xu Xing and Zhang Nong were discussing the initial promotion strategy, his cell phone suddenly received a call from his secretary Peng Yuxuan.

"Hello? What's going on?"

"Mr. Xu." Peng Yuxuan reported on the other end of the phone, "Tencent's three studios have released new games, and all three are imitations of Fruit Assassin."

"Many media outlets just called us to ask our opinion on this matter."
