176. The Battle of the Thousand Regiments
"Brother Xiu, what is our relationship?"
After get off work, Li Shan and Zhao Jianye blocked Luo Xiu in the office.
Her face was miserable, like a resentful woman who had been abandoned by a man.
Luo Xiu glanced around in panic, "Don't talk nonsense, our relationship is very innocent."
"Then why have you ignored me for so long?"
"What you said is hard to explain if Xiaoyu hears it."
Luo Xiu pulled the two of them into the office, closed the door, and then asked: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Li Shan hesitated for a moment, "Our Fantuan territory is getting bigger and bigger now, but it has never been profitable and only burned money. You have been busy recently and haven't taken care of us. I don't know what to do."
He watched eagerly as the good news kept coming from the e-commerce department, acquiring brands one after another and setting sales records one after another. It was impossible not to be jealous.
On his own side, he has always been like an unsupervised child, allowing him to develop freely.
He even thought for a time that Luo Xiu had given up on this unprofitable project, but he didn't want to say it directly out of love for his roommate.
However, project funding has never been interrupted, and there has never been a time when the money was not in place.
"This is indeed my problem. I have neglected you." Luo Xiu patted him on the shoulder, "I will accompany your project for a while."
"Really?" Li Shan's eyes suddenly lit up.
Now everyone in the company trusts Luo Xiu unconditionally, and it seems that as long as he takes action, there is nothing he can't accomplish.
"Of course, when have I ever lied to you?"
Zhao Jianye, who had been silent next to him, said quietly: "Last time you asked me to invite you to dinner."
"Definitely next time!" Luo Xiu stood up, "Let's go find Professor Zhong Liqun."
Pinru's ERP system and rice ball delivery system were both developed by Professor Zhong Liqun.
Now Luo Xiu wants to focus on developing a food delivery app for rice balls and adding a group buying function.
In two months, iPhone 4 will be launched.
iPhone 4 is hailed as the most successful mobile phone in Apple's history, and fans say it has once again changed the world.
I won’t say much about whether it will change the world, but the introduction of smartphones has begun.
The mobile Internet era is approaching in great strides.
In 2010, there was another landmark event for the e-commerce industry, which was the "Thousand Regiments War".
From 2010 to 2011, no less than 5,000 group buying websites were born, among which the well-known ones are Nuomi, Meituan, Dianping, Lashou...
Behind these group buying websites are not only foreign capital, but also the support of Internet giants such as Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent.
This carnage killed countless people and burned hundreds of millions in advertising costs.
Taobao also took the opportunity to launch "Juhuasuan" and officially joined the "Thousands of Groups War". With its advantages in merchants and traffic, it directly crushed the crowd of group buying websites.
In the end, Nuomi and Lashou were shut down, Meituan merged with Dianping, and focused on life, and the war gradually subsided.
In 2013, Meituan entered the food delivery field, and in 2020 its total market value exceeded one trillion Hong Kong dollars.
Luo Xiu now wants to enter this battlefield and face many giants, which seems a bit reckless and reckless.
But his team needs a war, a baptism of blood and fire, in order to quickly grow into a combat-effective iron army.
Luo Xiu himself is a militant. If he has the opportunity to have a head-on, long-term battle with these big guys, he has no reason to back down.
What's more, he may not have a chance of winning this battle.
Luo Xiu, who has returned from the future, is equivalent to having an additional "prophet" in the formation. He knows the future direction and ensures his invincibility.
When the time comes, act according to the circumstances. If something can be done, do it. If it cannot be done, seek money from venture capital investors and use the money from venture capital investors to train your own iron army.
…
"Professor Zhong, these are some of my ideas, what do you think?"
Luo Xiu looked at the gray-haired professor in front of him sincerely.
We made an agreement with him before about the development of the three phases of rice balls. The first phase of 200,000 has been settled, and now it is considered the second phase of development.
Zhong Liqun tapped the table with his fingers, "Technically, we can completely meet your requirements, and we can also waive the development fee for the second phase."
"Oh, what is the professor's request?"
Luo Xiu always believed that free things were the most expensive. He did not believe that there was a free lunch in the world. Professor Zhong took the initiative not to charge money, so he must have other motives.
"I hope to invest in Rice Ball with technology."
Zhong Liqun directly stated his purpose.
Luo Xiu frowned after hearing this, "Good guy, you have a really big appetite!"
He doesn't mind if senior employees get company equity. For senior employees, equity incentives allow them to bind their personal interests with the company's interests and create greater value for the company.
But why should Zhong Liqun do it?
If he personally leads the team to develop technology, then forget it. He has no contribution and directs a group of students to work for him, and he just wants to get the equity of Fantuan?
"The professor's proposal is very good, but I have to go back and think about the specific number of shares."
Luo Xiu didn't want to get used to his empty-handed behavior, but he didn't say anything on the spot.
"I hope Luo Xiu will finalize this matter as soon as possible."
In addition to being a student of this school, Luo Xiu is also a visiting professor specially appointed by the principal. He and Zhong Liqun can be said to be colleagues, but he obviously does not want to recognize Luo Xiu's status as a professor.
Except for e-commerce majors, teachers from other departments almost have this idea.
Luo Xiu is used to it and doesn't need their approval.
"Okay, then I won't bother you any more."
Luo Xiu stood up directly and left the professor's office.
"Do we really want to give him shares?" Li Shan asked in a low voice.
"What do you think?" Luo Xiu asked.
Li Shan didn't think much and said directly: "I don't think we can give it to him. We have invested so much money and worked so hard to achieve results. Why should we give it to him?"
Zhao Jianye thought for a while, "The first phase of development was led by senior Yang Tianqi. Professor Zhong gave almost no guidance, but most of the 200,000 we paid fell into his pocket. I think it is unfair.
"
Luo Xiu put his hands on their shoulders and said with a smile: "In that case, why do we let the middlemen make the difference?"
"Brother Xiu, what do you mean?"
"We went directly to Yang Tianqi and brought his team into our company."
Previously, Luo Xiu's company had no strength, so it had to go through Zhong Liqun to organize such a large group of students to engage in development.
Now that you have money, fame, and strength, you can definitely recruit technical personnel yourself, and there is no need to outsource them.
It would be best if Yang Tianqi agreed to join. After all, he is the most familiar with the existing system.
