Chapter 264 Changing the Flag
"What, are you sure the founder of Snail Takeaway wants to meet me, are you kidding me?"

This news was so shocking that Zhang Jianbo couldn't accept it for a while.

The founder of Snail Takeaway?

That's a big shot.

In just one year, the other party has single-handedly occupied the market of a provincial capital city with a population of tens of millions, and developed a snail food delivery mobile APP and a rider APP...

He is the object of Zhang Jianbo's imitation and his idol.

Especially these few months of entrepreneurial journey have made him understand that the difficulties of starting a business on this road are far from being as simple as he imagined.

The more this happened, the more he felt that the other party was amazing.

"No kidding, I am the rider in charge of Snail Takeaway in Shanghai. I have not been in contact with you before. Mr. Li is from Shanghai. When I came here this time, I told him that he was somewhat interested in you. You If you want to be in school, come to the main entrance of the Normal University, Mr. Li is also here..."

"I'm at school, I'm at school."

Zhang Jianbo did not dare to have any more doubts.

Everyone is already here, how could it be fake?
"Old Zhang, there is an order of milk tea over there in the cool summer. Go and get it. I have something to do now..."

After making a phone call, Zhang Jianbo rode on his small electric stove and came to the main entrance of the school.

As soon as he left the school gate, he saw a BMW standing on the side of the road. There happened to be three people standing on the side of the road, one of whom he had met once.

He walked over with excitement and apprehension.

He was excited because he was about to meet his idol, and he was worried because what he was doing now was purely imitation, and now that the real person was here, he felt a little bit embarrassed.

Although in the startup market, this is just a common thing.

Zheng Qian knew Zhang Jianbo, and he had tried to contact him before so that Snail Takeout could gain a better foothold here.

Seeing that someone had already arrived, he quickly introduced: "He is Zhang Jianbo, the founder of Xiaodangjia Takeout."

Zhang Jianbo's eyes went back and forth between the three people, and finally landed on Li Chenyang. He knew that this was the founder of Snail Takeout.

Although the young one is a bit outrageous.

Zhang Jianbo himself is also a college student, but in the past few months when he started his business, he couldn't sleep or eat enough, and he has become a bit old. Looking at Li Chenyang's expression, he looks like a sunny and handsome young man.

Zhang Jianbo was a little envious.

It doesn’t matter if he is so good at business and he is so handsome, why should others live?

As for Wu Tao, he naturally ignored him. He looked like he had nothing to do with himself. He looked like a sleep-deprived internet addict and didn't look like a boss at all.

"Hello, is this Mr. Li?"

Zhang Jianbo parked the battery car next to him, got off the car, looked at Li Chenyang and asked softly.

"I'm."

Li Chenyang admitted.

"My name is Li Chenyang, nice to meet you."

Facing the other person's extended hand, Zhang Jianbo felt very excited. He quickly stepped forward to hold it together and said excitedly: "I have heard about you a long time ago. I heard that the founder of Snail Takeout is a young man. I didn't expect it to be like this." Young, so unexpected, you are my idol."

Li Chenyang smiled faintly and said: "I heard Lao Zheng tell you that you are not bad. In just a few months, Xiaodangjia Food Delivery has developed so fast."

"What am I doing? I'm just making a small fuss. I'm still imitating you." Facing the big boss Li Chenyang, Zhang Jianbo also said what was on his mind: "Before, seeing how smoothly you guys were going, I thought it was very simple. But now I know, it’s too difficult. Although there are some users and some cooperative merchants now, I feel that there is less and less hope... To be honest, I feel a little regretful..."

This is what Zhang Jianbo said in his heart. Facing difficulties is not scary, but the scary thing is that there is no hope at all!In the past few days, he has been very confused and has even been delivering food to numb himself. Now he is basically on the road delivering food all day long.

Zheng Qian glanced at Zhang Jianbo and smiled secretly in his heart.

Sure enough, you are still a young man and you talk about everything. If you mention it like this, what qualifications do you have to negotiate the price later?

Li Chenyang didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "If takeout was so easy to make, wouldn't it be everywhere? This project seems like everyone can do it, but in fact the hidden costs are still very high, such as technology development. Both apps require at least hundreds of thousands to complete. With more traffic, there are server costs, labor costs, and the bulk of it is promotion expenses..."

Li Chenyang did not hide any of this.

After working for so long, he believed that Zhang Jianbo should have noticed this...

"The most expensive thing is promotion. A merchant costs close to [-] yuan, and a new user only costs [-] yuan. Promotion is a very large expense, not to mention that it also needs to be paired with advertising and marketing..."

Zhang Jianbo was in a daze.

"With such high costs, how can we make money?"

"make money?"

Li Chenyang smiled.This made Zhang Jianbo a little confused as to why the other party laughed when he mentioned making money.

"How much money have you made after working for so long?" Li Chenyang asked.

When Zhang Jianbo heard this topic, he immediately shivered and said with some embarrassment: "I made more than 2 yuan."

"you alone?"

Zhang Jianbo was a little embarrassed and said: "No, several people in our dormitory earned more than 2, and I earned about [-]."

After working hard for several months and earning 8000 yuan, it was better to go directly to the factory to drive screws. No wonder Zhang Jianbo felt a little embarrassed.

Wu Tao originally thought that Li Chenyang was waiting for a lot of people, but when he heard that he only earned 8000 yuan in a few months, he couldn't help but curl his lips. He could earn tens of thousands a month just by playing games.

Starting a business is too childish.

"good."

Li Chenyang nodded and said.

Zhang Jianbo thought he heard wrongly. He just said [-] just to raise his worth. Unexpectedly, after being exposed, the other party still said it was okay?

Earn [-] in a few months!

Is this okay?
Seeing that he seemed a little confused, Li Chenyang smiled and said, "Do you know how much you can earn from snail takeout in a month?"

"It should be several million."

Zhang Jianbo said speculatively.

With millions of users, each earning one yuan, that would be several million per month. He had already made the lowest estimate.

"wrong."

Li Chenyang shook his head.

"That's 1000 million?"

This guess is even more outrageous.

Li Chenyang was afraid that he would talk about hundreds of millions later, so he said directly: "Snail takeout has been losing money until now. It is currently losing about 150 million yuan a month... and there will be more in the future."

As soon as these words came out, not only Zhang Jianbo, but also Zheng Qian on the side was a little confused.

Is Snail Takeaway still losing money?
Losing more than 100 million a month?I will lose more in the future!
If this hadn't come from Li Chenyang's mouth, they would definitely not believe it.But if the boss speaks it himself, it must be the truth.

Li Chenyang said with a smile: "This is the true state of being a food delivery platform, so when you make money, I say it's okay."

“Isn’t building a platform just to make money?”

Zhang Jianbo asked curiously.

Li Chenyang nodded and said: "Yes, at least in the early stage, we must not go for money. What we want is users, territory, and continuous expansion. Only when the country is stable can we cut... well, and then we can slowly recover the cost and finally go public."

Hearing what Li Chenyang said, Zhang Jianbo was at a loss.

He felt as if he had done everything wrong.

But that was all he could do.

Spend as much money as snail takeout?How could it be possible? Even selling the house wouldn't be enough for him to play for half a month.

That's gambling!
"So, you are actually just earning a little bit of hard-earned money. It's not even considered a takeaway. You can only be considered as running errands for others. Don't be unhappy when I say this."

Zhang Jianbo shook his head.

This is a bit heart-wrenching to say, but it is actually like that.

Only then did Li Chenyang reveal his purpose: "Snail takeaway has started a provincial plan and plans to expand to other prefecture-level cities in the province. Shanghai is my hometown and a market that I am very fond of. If you If you are willing, you can merge Xiaodangjia Food Delivery into Snail Food Delivery. From now on, you will be an employee of Snail Food Delivery and the person in charge of the Normal College. I can buy out your achievements in the past few months for 10 yuan..."

Zhang Jianbo didn't expect that the huge pie would hit him on the head.

Even if the Xiaodangjia takeout business is not acquired, he estimates that it will break up in a few months...

If it were sold for 10 yuan, according to his share ratio, he could probably get more than 4 yuan... The key is that he can become a formal employee of Snail Takeout, and the territory of the Normal College still belongs to him.

Changing the flag seems to be a good deal.

"I agree."

Zhang Jianbo nodded directly without any hesitation, for fear that Li Chenyang would regret it!
