My Age of Investment

   Chapter 664

Dong Aizhi smiled, "I have considered this question. The employees in the store pay their salaries once a week. They have their salaries in the store, and they usually don’t run away easily. Second-hand PDAs are not valuable, especially our PDA functions. And the usage scenario is relatively single."

  Xia Jingxing smiled, the other party would actually be wrong, he didn't want to ask this, and blamed him for not making it clear.

  The other party’s answer is entirely from the perspective of a good luck restaurant.

  His ideal take-out platform is not for restaurants to provide delivery, but for the platform to use "crowdsourcing" services to replace restaurant delivery.

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

  Crowdsourcing service solves this problem perfectly.

  "Do you know about crowdsourcing?"

Seeing Xia Jingxing’s cast gaze, Dong Aizhi nodded, “I know, this is a concept put forward by the American magazine Wired last month. The practice of outsourcing freely and voluntarily to unspecified public volunteers.

  In fact, this was not first proposed by the Americans. Last year, Chinese entrepreneur Liu Feng founded Weike.com in an attempt to connect the expert resources of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and scientific and technological achievements 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!

   President Xia, are you planning to introduce the concept of crowdsourcing to 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. Witkey.com is crowdsourced brainpower, and takeaway delivery crowdsourced physical power."

  Xia Jingxing also didn't expect this girl to draw inferences from other things, and suddenly think of so many, and she also knows the concept of crowdsourcing that has just been proposed.

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

  If Kangaroo King dares to let Meituan recruit millions of full-time employees, a single management can drag him down.

  In addition, the current mobile phone functions are too single to provide crowdsourcing takeaways with a portable work platform, which is also one of the obstacles to building a crowdsourcing takeaway platform.

  Providing 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 move into the food delivery field, which is a very normal and business logic step.

  However, there are still many problems that restrict the development of the food delivery platform, and we have to wait a little longer.

  Listening to Dong Aizhi's remarks today, he couldn't help but arouse the love of talent.

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

  Dong Aizhi pondered for a moment and then slowly said: “A glimpse of a leaf and knowing the autumn, in fact, through the problem of our good luck restaurant, we can see the current problems of self-operated food delivery in restaurants, 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 sites 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 targeted online reservations. Subverted the takeaway market in one fell swoop.

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

  Xia Jingxing laughed, this 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? 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 a manager. I felt that he could not betray his trust, so I took the initiative to study the entire food delivery industry. I want to bring more to the restaurant’s food delivery business. Good management plan."

  Xia Jingxing patted Qiu Zhiyi on the shoulder, “You have found a good employee. Such young and motivated students are rare. You must cherish and cultivate them.”

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

  Xia Jingxing looked at Dong Aizhi in surprise, "You are leaving, are you dissatisfied with the treatment, or do you feel that the platform is small?"

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

  She graduated from Columbia University at the age of 21 and came to San Francisco to study for an MBA. By the way, she found a job internship there.

  At first, she only planned to work with us for a summer vacation. Because she was interested in our food delivery business, she stayed for a year.

  Now she has a job at Morgan Bank, with an annual salary of several hundred thousand dollars, so she is going to work in New York.

  It’s good to work in a bank, much better than our small restaurant. It doesn’t make sense to stop people. "

  Dong Aizhi Dynasty Qiu Zhiyi leaned slightly, "Thank you Mr. Qiu for his cultivation this year."

  Qiu Zhiyi waved his hand, “It’s okay, if you don’t work well in New York in the future, you are always welcome to go home.”

  Dong Aizhi smiled and nodded. After getting along for a year, he knew that the boss is the kind of person with true temperament, which is by no means a polite remark.

  The foreign girl has been listening attentively without interrupting. At this time, she couldn't help but interject, "Morgan Bank, is it a Morgan Stanley or a Xiaomo?"

  Dong Aizhi nodded and bowed to the foreign girl, "Hello Miss Christina, it's J.P.MorganChase&Co."

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

   "Investment Banking!" Dong Aizhi replied.

  The foreign girl smiled and said: "Are you interested in working on Facebook? I can directly give you a management post, responsible for managing a branch in a country or region, and give you options on Facebook.

   and other Facebook listings can easily reach millions of dollars, or even tens of millions of dollars.

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

  Xia Jingxing gave the foreign girl a glance. Some of them didn't talk about martial ethics. He also wanted to dig Dong Aizhi to work in Envision Capital, but before he could speak, he was preempted by the foreign girl.

  "Investment banks are sellers, which sell financial products as services; VCs are buyers, who pay for them.

  I think you are quite 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. "

  The foreign girl glanced at Xia Jingxing, her eyes were vaguely murderous, she dared to steal someone from her, she was tired of her life.

  Xia Jingxing could not go to see the foreign girl, looked away, shrugged, "Everyone is playing fair, let people choose for themselves!"

  Dong Aizhi smiled, "Thank you Mr. Xia and Miss Christina, I still want to go to **** work, 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 have never made an investment. I have tens of millions or hundreds of millions in my hands, so the pressure is great."

  Xia Jingxing laughed, "Haha, when you adapt to this job, you don’t feel stressed anymore, it’s just sparse and normal."

  Dong Aizhi considered for a moment, and then made a decision, "Well, Mr. Xia, I will join you!"

  Xia Jingxing looked at the foreign girl, who stared at him in full force.

  Qiu Zhiyi was very happy. Xiao Dong went to work at Xia Jingxing. At any rate, the fertilizer did not flow into the field of outsiders. The platform was large, and it did not affect Xiao Dong’s display of talent.
