Explosive entrepreneurship

Buddy Company.

Monthly meeting.

At the conference table, everyone had weird expressions, like the porridge that was boiled in the middle of the night and left unclosed, and the next day they woke up burning and confused.

Rewind the time to 10 minutes ago.

Gou Dai eloquently explained the related project [Are you hungry] to everyone in the company.

Everyone was confused.

Wang Feiniu raised his hand slowly, trying to summarize: "Boss, are you planning to build a software platform for the elderly to order meals?"

Gou Dai smiled: "No, it's a software platform for the elderly to deliver meals."

Crowd: ? ? ?

No matter how confused the employees of Budai Company are, how much they think that the project is a fantasy, and how much they suspect that the boss is possessed by ghosts and monsters, it will not prevent [Aren't You Hungry] from going online as scheduled.

After all, the sky and the earth are big, and the boss is the biggest.

The WeChat group [Talking about money is vulgar], a small group that sounds particularly like a gathering place for Wenqing, actually brings together a group of people who love to talk about money most in China.

[Talking about money is vulgar] There are 70 members in total, all of whom are independent angel investors with considerable wealth.

The characteristic of this group is that when it comes to money, they are cautious in their words and deeds, and they speak freely when it has nothing to do with money.

Today, the group is very lively because someone lost two pages to share.

[Group leader: Picture 1.JPG Picture 2.JPG]

[Group leader: I laughed so hard that everyone in a radius of ten miles can only live on hearing aids for the rest of their lives]

Everyone in the group thought it was an ordinary joke sharing, so they clicked on picture 1.

Picture 0.1 is a promotional poster for the event, which is quite unusual, with a red and festive background, and big golden characters saying "Aren't you hungry? Opening carnival, the first order is [-]% off, and there is a chance to get free coupons!" In the lower right corner, there is an APP download QR code.

An advertisement that is too ordinary to be more ordinary.

【what is this?New delivery software?Sounds like a bootleg. 】

[I really don't understand why countless entrepreneurs are eyeing 020 products every year, which is simply the peak area of ​​thunder. 】

[I can’t agree more. If 020 products want to survive in China, they can only burn money and squeeze the market until the market is saturated and they become oligarchs.If you can't burn others in the early stage, all the tens of millions of investment will be in vain. 】

……

[Group owner: No, this app is different, with a unique style of painting, and it will definitely stand out among all the coquettish and sluts.Look carefully at the second poster. 】

Everyone clicked on the second poster with an olive green background.

The poster depicts an old man with silver hair, holding a bamboo basket, looking very comfortable, like a spring outing.

There are five large characters on the top of the old man——[Knight Summoning Order! 】

There is a row of instructions below the old man:

1. If you are over 60 years old, in good health, and pass our physical examination, you can become a knight of [Are you hungry].

2. If you love to walk, or like to ride small electric vehicles, and you have a heart willing to serve everyone, joining [Are you hungry] is the right choice.

3. There is a lot of room for independent choice. The company provides vehicle rental, insurance, high temperature subsidies, winter subsidies, and performance rewards.

4. If you feel that life is too ordinary and you want to get in touch with the society more, join us!

There was a long silence in the group.

[Is the first line wrong?Should be under the age of 60, right? 】

[Yeah, the artist and editor are too irresponsible, it's scary to be over 60 years old. 】

[This typo is a bit funny. 】

……

[Group leader: No, the riders they want to recruit must be over 60 years old]

All kinds of question mark emoticons flashed across the group.

[Group owner: These two pictures were sent to me by my subordinates. Today he took the elderly in his family to sign up for "Never Slack Study", and the front desk gave him two leaflets.I didn't see it clearly at first, and thought it was another flyer for food delivery software, but the staff said that this is a new product launched by "Not Slack Learning". If the elderly are interested, they can come to apply for a rider. 】

A bunch of black question mark faces swiped the screen again.

Out of curiosity, many people quit the group chat, or downloaded the [Aren't Hungry] APP to find out, or searched for relevant information to check the specific situation.

After 10 minutes, the people who finished the investigation returned to the group.

[I suddenly understood why this app is called "Aren't you hungry?" Who would order food on this app if they weren't full? 】

[I specially downloaded "Aren't You Hungry", which is currently only available in Beicheng, but there are not many cooperative shops.But think about it, who will use this APP?At the moment when all food delivery platforms are striving for an average delivery time of less than half an hour, someone actually stated that the average delivery time is one and a half hours? 】

[The idea is too weird to understand. 】

[It feels like a gimmick to attract attention.Does this app have any profitable points? 】

[Not only is there no profit point, the income is outrageous.Responsible for the medical examination fees of all "riders". Suppose some people go for medical examinations, but they are not riders?Isn't this leaving a loophole for others to exploit? 】

[Not only that, the elderly over 60 are originally people in the accident-prone area. On the way to deliver the food, they fell down with a headache and brain fever. Are you responsible?These days, when I see old people around, I have to avoid them, lest they will be touched, and there are still people rushing to give them pockets. 】

[Which ghost came up with such a wonderful service software? 】

【Group leader: It's Gou Dai】

The group fell into silence again.

As a group of investors, the topic of recent days naturally cannot avoid Gou Dai, a new entrepreneur with great momentum.

Gou Dai's projects - [Gone with the Wind] and [Never Slack in Learning] were both hot topics in the group.

Among the investors, some participated in the initial [Gone with the Sky] roadshow, and even ridiculed in the group that college students did not start a business without a clue, and that [Gone with the Sky] was too late to regret after the fire; There is no feasibility for the stuff, and after the hobby class became popular in China, they looked dumbfounded.

Some expressed great admiration for Gou Dai, and hoped that there would be a way to introduce him for discussion; others disdain him, thinking that his project was a sensational project, and success was nothing more than a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.

Although the comments were polarized, everyone in the group recognized that this college student entrepreneur did have real talents and learning, and he was sincerely starting a business instead of burning investors' money to fill his own pockets.

Such people are naturally loved by the investment circle.

A few days ago, [Never Slack in Learning] was advertised for free by CCTV, and it was also recognized by both Guan Lao and Feng Lao, with a bright future.

The investment circle has estimated the worth of [Never Slack in Learning], which is more than dozens of times higher than the initial investment of investors.Moreover, with its current reputation, it can expand rapidly, and its price-earnings ratio at that time may be hundreds of times and thousands of times.

This made all investors red-eyed, and they were very envious of Jundai Investment Company, which initially invested in [Not Slack in Learning].

Many investors in the group have said that as long as they are connected, they are willing to offer money and ask for a chance to cooperate with Gou Dai.

[Group leader: Why is everyone silent? 】

[I was slapped in the face twice by Gou Dai before, so I dare not speak casually. 】

[I just spoke, people overturned, horses stumbled, Gou Dai's app is completely nonsense, I don't believe this app can still be done! 】

[I dare not agree, because I feel that the god of entrepreneurship is possessed by this handsome young man. 】

[I think this person is just drifting away! 】

There are many people who feel that Gou Tai is gone, but only one or two people have the opportunity and courage to criticize him in front of him.

Amorous feelings under the moon, box.

"Boss Gou, aren't you fooling around!" Zhang Tianwa said with gritted teeth that his mask couldn't hang anymore.

"Let the old man deliver food! Absolutely! Really! My grandma will help you even if she crosses the road!" On the side, Cai Yao rarely stood in the united front with Zhang Tianwa.

Gou Dai calmed down and took a sip of coffee.

Neither Qiu Ren nor Liang Junche at the same table spoke.

Qiu Ren has been busy defending his thesis these days and has not intervened in company affairs, but he also knows that [Never Slack in Studying] has been a great success.Already laying down to make money, Gou Dai suddenly launched [Are you hungry].

Qiu Ren can't see any potential for profit from this software, but he has a strong exclusive filter for Gou Dai, which is as thick as a steel plate. I believe it must be because his brain is not large enough to see the advantages, Gou Dai The project definitely has his foresight.

As for Liang Junche, his original intention of establishing an investment company was to serve the people around him.Not to mention that Gou Dai brought him considerable profits, Liang Junche was also willing to spend a lot of money on a beautiful smile.He supports whatever Gou decides.

So much so that at this moment, a situation of three calm and two irritable has formed in the box.

Cai Yao stared at Gou Dai, feeling a surge of wonder in his heart.

Because the last PUA incident changed Gou Dai's view, and he saw two successful projects, Cai Yao now thinks highly of him from the bottom of his heart.With distaste on his lips, Cai Yao still decided to put down his face and ask for advice humbly.

"May I ask Boss Gou, what is the basis for the continuous operation of this APP?" Cai Yao asked.

"I don't know." Gou Dai said calmly.

Cai Yao: ...

Is it ironic?Is it to hold a grudge?

Cai Yao thought too much, in fact, Gou Dai really didn't know.

For other projects, whether it is a hot pot restaurant or a hobby class, Gou Dai has established the possibility of making profits in the early stage.But the original intention of [Aren't you hungry] is purely to spend money, without setting up any possibility of profit.

What's more, Gou Dai learned from the previous few lessons, he just cared too much about completing the target, which led to the collapse of the whole situation.Simply indulge for a while, there may be unexpected joy.

Suddenly, Gou Dai felt a warmth in the palm of his hand, lowered his head, and stuffed a glass of oat milk in his hand.

"Eat more, you've lost weight." Liang Junche said.

Entrepreneurship is a difficult thing, and many aspects need to be done by Gou Dai himself.He has always been thin, and after these days, his already obvious collarbone became more distinct.

Liang Junche sat beside him, and he could see Gou Dai's collarbone under his thin shirt with his eyes down.Sexy perhaps, but it made him feel a little offended.

There is an urge to lock people around and feed them with a bunch of delicacies every day.If you don't want to eat, just hold the person in your lap: eat on top or below, choose one yourself.

This thought was absurd and joyful, and Liang Junche, who was still human, quickly threw it out of his mind.

Gou Dai held the glass and looked at the milk hanging on the wall: "I've been eating at Yue Xia Feng Feng for almost a year, and I didn't know that oat milk was sold in the dishes?"

It is true that the style under the moon is not for sale.Liang Junche bought the fresh milk directly from the bar. It was originally used to make a cocktail called "White Russia".The oatmeal is what the proprietress asked for, and the proprietress is a healthy breakfast on weekdays.Liang Junche used an induction cooker to make this cup of "Love Brand Oat Milk"

Gou Dai did not refuse the kindness, and drank it slowly. For some reason, he felt that it was more delicious than all the oat milk sold in supermarkets and made by himself.

Liang Junche glanced at Cai Yao, who was hesitant to speak, and knew that this guy would definitely not have anything good to say, so he didn't want to bother Gou Dai any more, so he changed the subject.

"The school is going to shoot an enrollment promotional video this year, and the teacher in charge of the promotion wants both of us to appear in the film." Liang Junche said.

"No, I've dropped out of school?" Gou Dai was puzzled.

Liang Junche: "Suspending school is also a student of Q University, and the teacher is very persistent."

After a little thought, Gou Dai understood what was going on.

Q University has an admissions promotional video every year, which is basically not enough.After all, the admission line for Q University is there, and there are countless people who want to enter Q University, but there are very few qualified ones.The ones who can compete with Q University in terms of student resources, except for overseas universities, are P University next door.

Will these students change their willingness because of an admissions promotional video?

Will not.

Therefore, the admissions promotional video is purely a cosmetic decoration with no practical effect.From the perspective of the leaders of Q University, those who need to work hard on promotional videos are vocational schools like Hongxiang and New North, which have a large student base and are easy to be fooled.

Who would have thought that last year some unscrupulous self-media person made a review of "College Enrollment Promotional Videos".

It was originally a group of people entertaining themselves, but for some reason, it suddenly spread and became a hot topic on various social platforms.

In the end, someone summarized the promotional videos of Huaguo's top ten universities.

P big: The heroine has pale eyebrows like autumn water, and her jade skin is accompanied by the breeze. Every scene is poetic and picturesque.

K University: Excellent creativity, full sense of technology, the school's hardware facilities are great!

S Da: Full of youth, like drinking mint soda.

Z Big: All the characters on the screen are male and female, which makes people yearn for it.

F major: small and fresh literature and art, but also childlike.

……

Q Big: What did you shoot?

Yes - "What did you shoot?"

This is simply not in the same dimension as other comments.

In fact, Gou Dai also took a special look at the promotional video of Q University last year because of the spread of public opinion.To be honest, the shooting is not as bad as netizens complained about.It's just because the teacher who planned the promotional video came from the Department of Philosophy, and used a philosophical method to start the speculation of "why go to university". Compared with other promotional videos, it seems old-fashioned, too serious, and relatively obscure.

Not only Gou Dai, but the school blog of Q University also explained it in this way, and as a result, it was ridiculed by netizens for the second time.

[Okay, okay, I know that Q big has the most connotation, we mediocre people don't deserve to understand]

[Isn't the promotional video just the school's external postcard?Shouldn't it be easy to understand?What are you talking about! 】

[Forgive me for waiting, I have finished watching the rest of these ten films, and I just watched the Q big one for half a minute and turned it off. 】

[It's just a bad shot, don't hold back your respect]

……

The negative reviews were overwhelming, and the school leaders were so angry that they secretly decided that this year they must make a promotional video that stands out.

The focus of the promotional video is nothing more than students, campus facilities, and campus culture.

Needless to say about the facilities, the quality of the Q hardware is recognized nationwide.There is no problem with the campus culture. There are various activities and clubs, which only you can't think of.

The rest are students.

College students, youthful and youthful, most of them can watch after tidying up, but it is not easy to be very photogenic, after all, it is not a film and television academy.

The determined school leaders naturally wanted to gather all the most attractive students in the school together, and Gou Dai, who was recognized as a school grassroots and famous, naturally couldn't let it go.

Gou Dai, who wanted to understand this, naturally wouldn't disappoint the school leaders.

"Okay, I'll take the time to go there."

Time is like running water, more than half a month is fleeting.

Gou Dai maintained the smooth operation of [Never Slack in Learning], while waiting for [Are you hungry] to explode.

Obviously, [Aren’t You Hungry] is a product that only burns money and is not profitable. In order to get immediate results, Gou Dai also specially magnified the effect of burning money.

Except for the most basic platform construction, offline labor, software operation and maintenance and other expenses, Gou Dai secretly added a lot of expenses.

The first is the physical examination fee for the elderly. To be a rider, you must first have a medical examination. It costs [-] yuan per person. Whether you pass or not, the fee will be borne by the [Aren’t Hungry] platform.Moreover, the platform does not require riders to take orders, so it is not ruled out that there are elderly people who take advantage of loopholes and refuse to accept orders after passing the physical examination, and regard the platform as a "free medical examination center";

The second is a large amount of publicity fees. This is a section with no limit to burning money. Even if you know that the software cannot be profitable, there is a lot of publicity and distribution that should be made.The posters and leaflets are printed like crazy, and there are as many hot searches on the major social platforms as the homepage, and the ranking of the search engines must also be in the front row;

The third is customer subsidies.Just like all O2O software, in the early stage, in order to increase user stickiness, users will be generously subsidized, such as eating takeaway for one yuan, taxi rides for free, etc. [Aren’t you hungry?] Naturally, it will not be exempt, and the activities will continue unabated.

With a three-pronged approach, Gou Dai believes that using [Aren't you hungry] to pull your hips [Not lazy to learn] is absolutely foolproof.

Gou Dai's actions naturally cannot escape the piercing eyes of Chief Financial Officer Shangguan Jingxian.

She told Gou Dai three times a day, "The [Are You Hungry] project must be suspended. Even if it is not closed, a lot of cash flow should not be wasted on it."

Gou Dai appeased Shangguan Jingxian with the reason that "all O2O software needs to be bigger and stronger, and the initial investment is essential".

Gou Dai's series of "spending money like running water" really achieved immediate results at the beginning.However, it didn't take long for Gou Dai to gradually realize that something was wrong.

Why has the rate of decline in net losses slowed down?

Why is there still operating income in the financial report of [Aren't You Hungry]?

Wait, the net profit has become a positive number?

What the hell! ! !
