Chapter 202 Worth Soaring, Although Still Too Poor (1/3)
September can be said to be a "Tao Takeaway". Since the topic of "omnipotent delivery guy" has been hyped, "Tao Takeaway" has not only become a household name, but has entered the fast lane of development, but it has also entered the vision of many venture capital institutions and Internet giants!
Before the National Day Golden Week arrived, Fang Hexu first held a relatively formal high-level meeting of "Tao Takeaway". Yang Yan was not absent, and Li Peiyun also attended the meeting as a representative of the technical department.
"Everyone, thank you for your efforts over the past six months. Now I can proudly confirm to you that we are the largest online ordering and takeaway delivery company in China now!" Fang Hexu raised his arms high and gave a passionate opening remark.
Due to his infection, many department managers were full of pride and were so excited that they slapped their palms red. Even Li Peiyun, who was usually calm, and Yang Yan, looked so excited that his face turned red.
The achievements of "Tao Takeaway" in the past six months are beyond doubt. Fang Hexu even used rows of numbers to list the achievements everyone gained after their efforts. His every move incited the young senior executives who had a surge in honor.
Yang Yan and Lei Zhentian were quite calm. They looked at each other and sighed: "This guy from Lunch Box is getting more and more eloquent!"
"... Last week, a venture capital investor came to me and asked about our financing intentions. Of course, it is not convenient for me to disclose which one is specific. You just need to know the ones that are very famous!" Fang Hexu's words caused laughter.
"Of course it is impossible to raise funds. We have just conducted a round of financing. Of course, it can also be said to be Mr. Lei's second investment." Fang Hexu smiled, "The money is enough, and we are also planning to arrange an option incentive plan for everyone at the end of the year. How can we start to consider financing again?"
These words suddenly ignited the enthusiasm of the audience. When they heard the encouragement of equity, all the senior executives' eyes lit up, and they all clapped their hands, and this time it became even more enthusiastic!
Option incentives are not considered to be the cake that Fang Hexu drew for everyone. This is also something that Fang Hexu, Lei Zhentian and Yang Yan discussed. However, there is no confirmed plan for how to implement it, but all three of them agreed to do this.
After all, startups have low salaries and want to retain talents, they have to rely on options.
Needless to say, ordinary executives are of the same level as Li Peiyun, when they were recruited, the corresponding option terms had been formulated in the contract.
It was a bit far from going so far, Fang Hexu continued: "Although we have no intention of financing, I have had a brief conversation with the other party and learned how much our company is worth now."
"Please allow me to disclose the specific amount, but I can tell you that this venture capital fund with a brand value is eight digits, and the first digit is not an odd number!" Fang Hexu smiled and said, "Of course, I don't think we are worth eight digits. Do you think so?"
The eight-digit number, and the first digit is not one, so if others think less about the valuation of "Tao Takeaway", it will be more than 20 million!
As a college student startup company, such achievements are enough to make everyone feel proud!
Yang Yan is no exception. He knows the real number that Fang Hexu has not said, and knows that although his savings on his bank card are not more than 100,000, his net worth has exceeded 5 million. So, when Fang Hexu was sensational, he also sighed secretly.
Half a year ago, he had the ambition to start a business, but he had no idea that the results came so quickly...
Of course, the success of entrepreneurship is inseparable from his ideas and technical support, Lei Zhentian's financial support, and even more so from Fang Hexu's busyness day and night.
Yang Yan feels that the rapid progress of "Tao Takeaway" is more due to Fang Hexu's management and operations this month, which is like a stroke of a magical pen!
After Fang Hexu mobilized everyone's emotions, he began to talk about important things.
"Although we are in a state of great momentum now, this does not mean that we can rest assured." Fang Hexu switched the projection in the conference room and said seriously, "We are starting to have competitors!"
Hearing Mr. Fang's tone change, many people's smiles couldn't help but calm down.
Fang Hexu pointed to the projection screen behind him and said, "We have many competitors, such as Pengcheng's "Have a Feast". This was originally a company that does group buying, but the competition for group buying is too fierce. They launched a new takeaway website this month; and the Magic City's "Doesn't Feast?" I think everyone needs to pay attention to this."
"The background of 'Fried Is it?' is a college student startup company. It was originally a website phone ordering meals. Before, we had a round of confrontation with them when we entered Pengcheng Market. In Pengcheng universities, they were very famous!"
Fang Hexu said solemnly: "If they were still the same size as before, I don't think there was any threat, but I recently heard that 'fried' has received financing and promoted their mobile software among universities in Magic City. Although it is still in the internal testing stage, it can be seen that they have taken the right path. If they are given time, they may be able to develop the second 'Tao Takeaway'!"
The atmosphere in the conference room became tense.
"Of course, we don't have to worry too much, because we are already ahead and have gained popularity in front of the people of the whole country!" Fang Hexu's confident smile gave the young executives some impetuous emotions.
"But no matter how fast the rabbit runs and walks in front, if it stops and sleeps, one day the turtle will catch up with you!" Fang Hexu gently patted the table and said, "Today I hope everyone will get me back with the chicken blood. After coming back from the National Day holiday, the business side will come up with a plan. We are going to start to develop the market in small and medium-sized cities! Propaganda Department, you also have to go back and study how to open up the publicity in small and medium-sized cities. The way to play there is different from ours this month!"
"Technical Department!" Fang Hexu looked at Yang Yan and Li Peiyun. His eyes were very sharp. Yang Yan and Li Peiyun sat upright both at the same time.
"You must also take action. Whether it is to improve the user experience or other things, our website and app must not drag the company down!" Fang Hexu said in a gentle and stern tone.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Fang." Yang Yan nodded solemnly.
...
After the meeting, Li Peiyun followed Yang Yan back to their territory. As soon as he entered the conference room, Li Peiyun said with emotion: "Mr. Yang, Mr. Fang's expansion speed should not be mentioned to improve the UI design. We have to set up the server first! More and more users, the server cannot keep up with the computing, and the more people use it, the more they get stuck, and there is no way to talk about user experience."
"It's another big expense!" Yang Yan understood what Li Peiyun meant. He sighed and rubbed his temples on both sides. "Our cloud computing has not been developed yet. This thing is much harder than I thought. It's too much! I really want to talk to people from online shopping dads and others. Maybe it can be inspiration."
