My Age of Investment

Dong Aizhi smiled and said, "I have considered this issue. The employees in the store are paid once a week. They have their wages in the store, so they don't usually run away easily. Second-hand PDAs are not worth much, especially our PDA functions. And the usage scenarios are relatively simple.”

Xia Jingxing smiled, the other party would actually be wrong, he didn't mean to ask this, but also blamed him for not explaining it clearly.

The other party's answer was completely from the perspective of Good Luck Restaurant.

His ideal takeaway platform is not for restaurants to provide distribution by themselves, but for the platform to use "crowdsourcing" services to replace restaurant distribution.

If a restaurant has a small take-out business, but has a few take-out delivery staff, and it is found that it is at a loss at the end of the month, this business model will not be established.

Crowdsourcing is the perfect solution to this problem.

"Do you know crowdsourcing?"

Looking at Xia Jingxing's gaze, Dong Aizhi nodded, "I know, this is a concept proposed by Wired magazine in the United States last month. The practice of free voluntary outsourcing to unspecified mass volunteers.

In fact, this was not first proposed by the Americans. Last year, Chinese entrepreneur Liu Feng founded Wikey.com, trying to connect the expert resources and scientific and technological achievements of the Chinese Academy of Sciences with the scientific and technological problems of enterprises.

Experts convert knowledge, wisdom, experience, and skills into actual income through the Internet, enterprises solve problems, and the platform obtains the cost of intermediary matching, everyone wins three-win!

Mr. Xia, are you planning to introduce the concept of crowdsourcing into the food delivery industry? "

Dong Aizhi clapped his hands, looked up at the ceiling for a while, and said with surprise and joy: "This seems to be really feasible. Wike.com is crowdsourcing brain power, and takeaway delivery crowdsourcing physical strength."

Xia Jingxing also did not expect this girl to be able to draw inferences from one case to another. He immediately thought of so much, and he also knew that the concept of crowdsourcing had just been proposed.

Crowdsourcing is an Internet concept and the cornerstone of building a food delivery platform.

If Kangaroo King dares to ask Meituan to recruit millions of full-time employees, one management alone can drag him down.

In addition, the current mobile phone function is too simple to provide a convenient and portable working platform for crowdsourcing delivery workers, which is also one of the obstacles to building a crowdsourcing delivery platform.

Providing a PDA is a solution,

But it can only be provided by its own restaurant to its own employees. The takeaway platform cannot provide hundreds of thousands or even millions of devices, and the cost is too high and uncontrollable.

At present, he has invested in group buying platforms in China and the United States. The next step is to cut into the field of food delivery, which is a very normal and business logic step.

However, there are still many problems restricting the development of food delivery platforms, and we have to wait a bit longer.

Listening to Dong Aizhi's remarks today, he couldn't help but feel a love for talent.

"What kind of changes do you think crowdsourcing can bring to the food delivery industry?"

Dong Aizhi pondered for a moment before slowly saying: "You can see the autumn through a glimpse of the leaves. In fact, through the problems of our Lucky Restaurant, we can see the current problem of the restaurant's self-operated takeaway delivery, and it is difficult to reduce labor costs.

This is an industry problem. If there is a solution, a large-scale enterprise will be born.

I have investigated and found that online food delivery websites have existed for a long time. Two years ago, a website called GrubHub was born in the United States. It keenly grasped the pain point of the food delivery market that can only be booked by phone, and launched online booking in a targeted manner. In one fell swoop, the food delivery market was upended.

Now they are developing very well. Mr. Xia, you have a VC fund, maybe you can talk to them. "

Xia Jingxing laughed, the girl gave him a lot of surprises, and even went to study the food delivery industry.

"Why do you want to study the food delivery industry? Are you planning to start a business in this field?"

Dong Aizhi shook his head, "No, Mr. Qiu trusted me and appointed an MBA student of mine as the manager. I felt that I could not live up to his trust, so I took the initiative to study the entire food delivery industry, and I wanted to bring more benefits to the restaurant's food delivery business. Good management plan."

Xia Jingxing patted Qiu Zhiyi on the shoulder, "You have found a good employee. There are not many young people who are so studious and motivated. You must cherish and cultivate them."

Qiu Zhiyi nodded again and again, glanced at Dong Aizhi, and sighed, "I really want to cultivate Xiao Dong, and even want to train her in the direction of the general manager, but Xiao Dong has another career plan, and he will leave for New York next month. ."

Xia Jingxing looked at Dong Aizhi in surprise, "Are you going to leave, are you dissatisfied with the treatment, or do you feel that the platform is too small?"

Just as Dong Aizhi wanted to explain, Qiu Zhiyi said for her, "Jing Xing, you misunderstood, Xiao Dong came to our store part-time from the beginning, and did not plan to work with us for a long time.

At the age of 21, she graduated from Columbia University with an undergraduate degree, and came to San Francisco to study for an MBA, and by the way, she found a job internship there.

She initially only planned to work with us for one summer vacation, and stayed for a year because she was interested in our food delivery business.

Now she's got a job at Morgan Bank, which pays hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, so she's going to New York to work.

It's good to work in a bank. It's much better than our small restaurant. There's no reason to stop others. "

Qiu Zhiyi of Dong Aizhi bowed slightly, "Thank you, President Qiu, for his cultivation over the past year."

Qiu Zhiyi waved his hand, "It's okay, if you don't do well in New York in the future, you are always welcome home."

Dong Aizhi smiled and nodded. After spending a year together, he knew that the boss was the kind of person with real temperament, and he was definitely not polite.

Yang Niu has been listening attentively and did not interrupt, but at this time she couldn't help but interject, "Bank of Morgan, is it a big or a small Morgan?"

Dong Aizhi nodded and saluted the foreign girl, "Hello, Miss Christina, this is Xiaomo Chase \u0026amp; Co."

"Commercial bank or investment banking department?" Yang Niu continued to ask.

"Investment bank!" Dong Aizhi replied.

Yang Niu smiled and said, "Are you interested in working on Facebook? I can directly give you a management position, responsible for managing a branch in a country or region, and I will also give you options on Facebook.

By the time Facebook goes public, it can easily be worth millions or even tens of millions of dollars.

I like your attitude towards work and your studiousness. Facebook is more suitable for a startup company to use your talents. Go to ****, you are just an ordinary member of 200,000 people, you can think about it. "

Xia Jingxing glanced at Yang Niu, and he didn't talk about martial arts. He also wanted to recruit Dong Aizhi to work at Vision Capital, but before he could speak, Yang Niu took the lead.

"Investment banks are the sellers, and they sell financial products through services; VCs are the buyers, and they pay.

I think you are very suitable for VC work. Are you interested in working for Vision Capital? We generally do not recruit fresh graduates, but we can make an exception for you. "

Yang Niu glanced at Xia Jingxing with a faint murderous look in her eyes, she was tired of daring to snatch someone from her.

Xia Jingxing didn't look at the foreign girl, he looked away and shrugged, "Everyone has a fair competition, let them choose for themselves!"

Dong Aizhi smiled, "Thank you, President Xia and Miss Christina, I still want to work in a **** because I feel that my experience is still too shallow."

"What can investment banks learn?"

Xia Jingxing chuckled and shook his head, "Join Envision Capital, I will give you an opportunity to integrate Chinese and American food delivery platforms."

Dong Aizhi hesitated, "But I haven't made any investments. With tens of millions or hundreds of millions in hand, the pressure is great."

Xia Jingxing laughed, "Haha, when you get used to this job, you won't feel any pressure anymore, it's just normal."

Dong Aizhi thought about it for a moment and then made a decision, "Alright, Mr. Xia, I'll join you!"

Xia Jingxing looked at Yang Niu, who stared at him in a righteous manner.

Qiu Zhiyi was very happy that Xiao Dong went to work at Xia Jingxing. Anyway, the fat water did not flow into the fields of outsiders, and the platform was very large, which did not affect Xiao Dong's talents.
