Meituan is a group buying website. Later, it seized the opportunity and successfully transformed into a takeaway platform, occupying a large share in the takeaway market. Hungry, relying on Alibaba has become a stamina force that can't be ignored in the takeaway industry.
Hungry again? Actually, Alibaba bought it. The company was originally founded by Zhang after 1980s.
Zhang, a graduate of Shanghai Jiaotong University, and several of his classmates are very hungry. When they were students, there was no such thing as takeaway at that time. After class is over in the dead of night, they want to eat hot meals outside. Zhang has grasped this point, which will be a market. It will be 2009, when Zhang He embarked on the road of entrepreneurship.
At the beginning of their business, money was their biggest problem, so they raised money everywhere. The problem of funds made them suffer a lot.
Limited funds, they can not burn money to promote, so they chose a restaurant for trial operation. Their company does take-away service for a company. The effect is very good, so it attracts more restaurants to join, and their take-away business is also very prosperous.
When the business volume came up, there were not enough people, and Zhang even went into battle to deliver meals himself. And their working hours are not generally long, sometimes they can only sleep less than five hours a day.
Thanks to the efforts of employees and the leadership of Zhang, their scale is getting bigger and bigger, their popularity is getting higher and higher, and they have also successfully raised funds in 15. JD.COM and Dianping also joined the financing team. 18, Alibaba officially acquired hungry. In this way, Zhang has cashed in 66.5 billion yuan through several rounds of financing acquisitions.
This is a huge sum of money, and Zhang got more than that. He is now the chairman of Hungry and the personal assistant of Jack Ma. With the strong financial support of Alibaba, the company has developed more rapidly.
By being hungry, Zhang realized the accumulation of his own wealth and the development of the company. He made a wise choice.
Under the operation of capital, Meituan has become a big family. If you continue to go it alone, how can you compete with powerful capital?
Only by cooperating with Alibaba can his hard work continue to be hungry in the world of capital.
As the old saying goes, every entrepreneur must have a dream at the beginning of his business. The dream is so pure, but the reality is skinny. How to survive in the capital market is a problem that must be considered. Only by following the laws of the market and respecting the rules of the capital game can we go further.
Zhang, born in 1980s, became a member of Hurun Report at such a young age. Hungry when founded, hungry when developed, and hungry when powerful. It gives us inspiration and thinking. I hope every entrepreneur can walk out of his own sunshine road.
