Ordinary Road 2010

Some time ago, Manager Zhang, who was more qualified in Beijing, was said to have just been kicked out because of his unfavorable handling. He didn't want to follow in that person's footsteps.

However, he waited and waited, but he did not get the order from Shangfeng to "massively attack" and the corresponding resource support. Instead, he only waited for the instruction that he should monitor closely but not act rashly.

……

Of course, Lin Yi didn't know about these things. After opening up the situation in Yangcheng, he was also keeping pace with Li Moyan in Jiangcheng and Li Jianguo who stayed behind in the capital.

After Lin Yi went out with his senior sister, the three-person team still maintained the habit of meeting every day, but this time it could only be an online video conference, which made Lin Yi feel like traveling through time and space.

He just finished sharing the "Express Car Propaganda Method" he developed in Yangcheng and the good results he achieved, and suggested that his seniors replicate it in Jiangcheng.

After him, the senior sister also shared her situation in Jiangcheng.

"Because Are You Hungry didn't have a presence in Jiangcheng at all before, so I don't have to worry about Are You Hungry stumbling or doing something wrong here."

"But this also caused inconvenience to us, because the merchants here, including the consumers and college students, have never been exposed to the online food ordering model before, so we have to spend a lot of time to tell them from the beginning. .”

This was a situation they had never encountered in the capital city, including Lin Yi in Yangcheng, so it was understandable that the senior sister's progress in Jiangcheng was slightly slower than Lin Yi's.

After the two of them finished speaking, Li Jianguo reported a surprising news.

"Are you hungry just announcing the end of the subsidy activities of the previous school-opening specials, and it has returned to the state before the subsidy, which means that there is no longer any price advantage over us."

"Affected by this, many students have turned back to me. The traffic on both the website and APP has increased. The order volume has exceeded the previous highest level and is still increasing steadily."

Lin Yi said before that the capacity of the market is constantly expanding now, and the increase in their order volume is a natural occurrence. As soon as the pressure from Are you hungry is gone, it will return to "normal".

"Are you hungry? Is it because we found out that we went to his backyard in Yangcheng, and then we couldn't beat us in the capital, so are you going to stop temporarily?" Li Jianguo said very optimistically.

Although the name of the Are You Hungry event was called "School Start Special", it has been a while since the start of school, and canceling it is considered a good name, but Lin Yi always feels that things are not that simple.

"Yangcheng is not yet his backyard, but his base camp is in Shencheng. We are far from threatening his status at present."

Lin Yi asked again: "Is there any new action after they cancel the subsidy? Are they still pushing the exclusive agreement on the merchant side?"

Li Jianguo has made great progress after practicing for so long, and he has explored all these in advance.

"I didn't find any action. They still have an exclusive agreement, but according to the students who made the local push, they don't spend too much energy on it now."

Is this really over?

Lin recalled the only time he met Zhang Xuhao. At that time, the impression he gave him was not the kind of person who gave up halfway. It should be said that he was a domineering person.

Li Moyan obviously felt the same, and raised an idea: "Are you hungry and stopped the offensive in the capital, will you plan to put pressure on you in Yangcheng? Because we are newcomers and the user base is relatively weak."

There is some truth to this conjecture.

"During this period of time, I will observe their actions in Yangcheng. In fact, it would be fine if he only exerted his strength in Yangcheng. After all, there are still capitals and Jiangcheng that can develop steadily."

With the financial advantage that Are you hungry for them, you can "go to war" with them everywhere, so that they can't live anywhere.

It now appears that at least they did not intend to do so.

But what Lin Yi can be sure of is that Are You Hungry does not mean that the two sides will stop at this point and live in peace. There must be something secretly planned by them.

The image of that man appeared in Lin Yi's mind: So what is your plan?

Chapter 283 Come to my bowl soon

Lin Yi's birthday this year was in Yangcheng, Brother Yi said he wanted to take him to see the morning tea in Yangcheng, he thought he couldn't leave Shao Yu and the three alone, so he called them together.

Of course, in the end, he didn't leave the opportunity to treat Yi Ge, but paid for it himself.

Gu Caiwei regretfully said on the phone that she is now back to the grounded state, and after returning to the practice room, Teacher An started a new round of inhumane training for them.

After all, the first wave was the primary election, and some of the current ten people had to be eliminated, and the atmosphere in the practice room became tense again.

Although Gu Caiwei has a gold medal for avoiding death, it is obvious that Teacher An and Ms. Gu Changge do not allow her to be lazy.

After a simple 19th birthday, Lin Yi quickly put his energy into his career.

Since he posted the advertisements of Random Food Delivery on the courier trucks of all nearby schools, his efficiency in distributing leaflets and sweeping buildings has been much higher than before.

Because many of the merchants have the experience of Hungry?, and their exclusive agreement should not be extended to Yangcheng, so most of them are happy to go online here at the same time.

In this way, it took Lin Yiyi about a week to open up the situation in the university-concentrated area of ​​Tianhe, but there were still some troubles.

He hasn't found a suitable candidate yet.

The position of city manager is very important. Although Lin Yi and the others will not completely let it go, they are far away in the capital after all, so all major and minor matters here in Yangcheng need to be decided by one person.

Lin Yi also jokingly asked Yi Ge, but was jokingly declined.

He decided to try his luck at SYS University in Haizhu as the next step. If it didn't work out, he was ready to hire a full-time city manager to take charge.

The reason why he didn't take this as a priority was not because he was worried that the cost would not be affordable, but mainly because he was worried about whether he would be out of tune with their student entrepreneurial team.

"Are you the founder of Random Food Delivery?"

The other party was very surprised when he saw Lin Yi. Although the Internet entrepreneurs are relatively young, this person is only around [-], right?

"If it's a fake replacement."

The reason why Lin Yi met this guy was because he claimed to come here to defect to him. He thought to himself, could it be that I have finally awakened my domineering spirit and began to worship when someone accepts my head?

The visitor was very polite and introduced himself first: "My name is Shi Jianrui, and I am a senior student at the School of Computer Science, South China University of Technology. I would like to join your entrepreneurial team."

Lin Yi shook his head to get rid of the illusion that someone "came to vote for fame", and then asked seriously: "Why do you want to join us?"

Shi Jianrui replied: "I'm about to graduate this year, and I don't plan to continue my studies, so I want to do something. I saw your advertisement on the express bus at school these days, and then I saw that you are recruiting part-time jobs. , and then found it."

He came here like this, and he definitely didn't mean to be a part-time deliveryman.

"Why don't you just find a big factory to hone for a few years after graduation? A small start-up company of our size may close at any time."

Lin Yi is not belittling himself, nor is he trying to drive people away. When you start a business, the companions you need must be very conscious. Otherwise, if you come in out of curiosity and stay for a while and then run away, it will be a waste of time for each other.

Shi Jianrui seemed to expect that he would ask this question: "Actually, I interviewed several big factories before the summer vacation, and all of them got offers, so there should be no problem with my technology. If you don't believe me, I can show you theirs. sent an offer."

"But after I interviewed, including getting to know some of the seniors who were already in the big factory through various channels, I found that those jobs didn't seem so cool and creative."

"I don't want to waste my life on that, so I want to join a passionate entrepreneurial team, and I just saw you."

The young man did look quite aggressive, but it seemed that he hadn't finished talking.

Lin Yi pointed out his subtext: "Actually, you want to start your own business, right?"

Shi Jianrui was stunned for a moment. He originally wanted to hide this idea for a while, because no boss would like an employee who may change jobs at any time, but he didn't expect to be spotted so quickly.

In this case, he admitted it generously: "Yes, I actually want to start my own business, but I don't have a direction yet. I want to join you to exercise on the one hand and learn on the other."

Having said all this, he finished the sentence frankly: "Actually, I got to know you before I came here, and I know that you have done a good job in the capital market, and the time is very short. It started from last semester. I want to see How did you do it?"

"Hungry is bigger than us in this industry, why don't you go to them?"

Shi Jianrui looked confident and confident: "Aren't you coming to Yangcheng to recruit people because you're hungry? If I rush to Shencheng, I'm afraid I won't be able to meet their boss?"

Lin Yi was noncommittal: "What kind of job do you think you can do with us?"

Shi Jianrui replied confidently: "Any job. Whether it's product or research and development, I'm actually quite curious about your technical details."

"Our technical department is in the capital."

"It doesn't matter, I have already completed my credits in my senior year, and I can get a degree as long as I submit a graduation thesis. I can go to the capital with you."

Lin Yi shook his head: "That's not what I mean, I mean that I'm asking you to do that kind of secret vote, and I have a better position for you."

Shi Jianrui was very interested: "What is it?"

"You have also seen that we have just entered Yangcheng, and we have only opened up a little bit of the situation, but so far the team members are all brought by me from the capital, and it is impossible for me, including myself, to stay permanently in Yangcheng."

"So, I need a very capable person to be the city manager of Yangcheng. His job content includes but is not limited to the establishment of a working team in Yangcheng, and is responsible for all operations and promotion management of Yangcheng. In short, any problems in Yangcheng are his fault. responsibility."

"This job is not easy, it is a big challenge for you, but if you are interested in starting your own business in the future, it should be a good opportunity."

Yes, Lin Yi is planning to use this guy, and he is the only person he has met so far who looks like he can take on this burden.

Shi Jianrui did not refuse: "I accept this challenge."

Of course, Lin Yi wouldn't trust this guy so casually, he still had a more secure plan.

"I will stay in Yangcheng for a while, which is your probationary period. I will slowly hand over the matter to you. If I think it's okay, when I leave Yangcheng is when you officially take office."

"However, I must remind you that no matter during the probationary period or after you take office, once you have any problems, I will replace you mercilessly. I hope you are mentally prepared."

Shi Jianrui's answer was: "You won't have this chance."

Lin Yi thought, no matter what, he finally grabbed a decent one, let's use it first.

Chapter 284 Jianguo is a Good Brother

Why did Lin Yi know that Shi Jianrui had "two hearts" and came to steal his teacher, but still gave him a chance?

Because the reality is not a Romance of the Three Kingdoms game, it will not show you the loyalty value of your subordinates in real time, as long as the points are full, you will be diligent and will never betray, no matter how you order him, he will work hard.

Everyone has their own goals, which is normal. As long as there is no conflict in the general direction, there is a basis for cooperation.

When forced to do so, the emperor would pinch his nose to appease even the blatant rebel, and make him an official and make a wish, not to mention that Shi Jianrui is not even considered a traitor in this situation.

Besides, there are not so many suitable talents waiting in line for Lin Yi to choose.

In short, he ran with Shi Jianrui for a few days, and felt that his enthusiasm and initiative were very good. Although he still had relatively little experience in handling things, he was much better than most of the students in school.

By the way, he is from Lingnan and has studied in Yangcheng for four years, so he is very familiar with Yangcheng, which is also an advantage.

So Lin Yi probably stayed in Yangcheng for a few more days, and then officially handed over the Yangcheng side of his career to Shi Jianrui, and told him to gradually cover the whole city according to the established expansion plan, and then returned to the capital with Shao Yu and the others. .

This business trip lasted half a month, but the temperature in the capital hadn't started to pick up, and it occasionally dropped below zero. When they got off the plane, they just came back from the warm city of Yangcheng and they shivered.

"Hey, isn't this Boss Lin who raised 100 million US dollars in financing? What brought you here? It's so radiant to visit the humble house."

It was the ruthless Wang Wenfeng who was hurting Lin Yi. He and other roommates heard the news of their financing from Li Jianguo, but at that time Lin Yi had already set off for the south.

Of course, Lin Yi would not be overwhelmed by his words: "It's easy to say, I still need a small coachman with horses and pedals by my side. If you are interested, this position is reserved for you."

Wang Wenfeng kicked him upside down, and began to shout at Qu: "Look, this guy is really smug, he took the money and didn't treat him, and asked me to lead his horse!"

The dormitory elder Zheng jokingly said: "The coachmen of great people are not ordinary people. Think about who is Qin Shihuang's coachman? That refers to Zhao Gao who is like a horse!"

It doesn't matter whether Zhao Gao is a coachman or not, what matters is that he is a eunuch.

"Ha ha!"

The others all burst into laughter, but after Wang Wenfeng made a fuss, everyone regained the casual atmosphere among their former roommates.

To be honest, when Li Jianguo said that they got 100 million US dollars in financing, other people were still very surprised. Although they knew that they had put a lot of energy into this website, and it seemed that they had developed well last semester, but they really came here One step was unexpected.

100 million, or US dollars!

This amount of money is not even a fraction of their financing for star companies in the industry, but it is enough to shock these college students.

And it's not just money.

Although this amount is not small, if Lin Yi and Li Jianguo paid it out by themselves, then others would not be so surprised. It is nothing more than a wealthy second-generation family.

But this money was given by formal venture capital institutions, which means that they have initially passed the test of the market, and professionals have recognized their potential!

This makes other people feel a little complicated.

It's not that I'm not happy for them, but that even if the two start their own business, everyone still treats them as ordinary classmates, but suddenly their identities are different, and they don't know how to get along.

Fortunately, Lin Yi and Li Jianguo didn't think there was anything to be ashamed of, and everything was business as usual, so their feeling of being overwhelmed was eliminated.

After thinking about it, Lin Yi suggested that he hadn't teamed up with his roommates for a long time, so he suggested, "Why don't you go out for a late-night snack?"

Wang Wenfeng immediately asked, "Are you treating me, Boss Lin?"

Boss Lin waved his hand grandly: "I invite you to order some!"

"Then I have to take a closer look at the price list and order whichever is more expensive!"

Originally, Lin Yi could still afford this little blood, and he knew that his roommates would not really kill him if they had the sense to do so.

But Li Jianguo objected: "We can't let Lin Yi treat guests. We didn't catch up with Lin Yi when he was in Yangcheng on his birthday before, so why don't we make up for him if everyone is here today?"

The habit of their dormitory is to have a meal together every time someone celebrates a birthday. Of course, there is no reason for the birthday person to pay for the meal.

Lin Yi declined and said that since he missed it, forget it, and today is another matter.

However, Li Jianguo's proposal received enthusiastic responses from other roommates, and Wang Wenfeng shouted again:

"Yes, there is still a chance to invite Boss Lin to dinner now. Lin Yi, you have to remember the brotherhood today, and next time we celebrate our birthday, you can't just send us away with a street shop. ah!"

Of course, Lin Yi could only "submit" in the end, but he still felt a little warm in his heart, and it was rare for someone to remember his birthday.
