Different God of Cooking [Rebirth]

In May 2003, Angou.com was officially launched.

In fact, Zhao An's plan at the beginning was to directly expand the content of the food safety company's homepage, including all the cooperative companies, and then improve the information on the modules of takeaway, information disclosure, and cooperative companies.

But during the design process, Zhao An found that this would make the food safety company's website too complicated.

Therefore, the Internet department spent nearly three months rebuilding a website dedicated to food purchases—Angou.com.

Angou.com has three main parts.

The first part is the purchase of Gexuan Fresh.This part of the business is still limited to intra-city distribution. After all, many fresh products are perishable products, and the current transportation conditions do not support long-distance transportation.

Gexuan fresh food delivery business already existed on the original website, but this time the entire page and delivery process have been optimized and upgraded.

The second part is the new main content of online shopping - food online shopping, including food safety products that can be transported long distances and products of other settled enterprises.

These foods have a more important feature, that is, they can be stored for a medium and long term.The distribution area has also expanded to the whole country.Of course, different shipping costs will be charged according to the delivery distance.

Users can choose the name of the company they want to choose on this page, and then purchase the products they need.You can also search by name and type, which is quite convenient.

The current transaction method is still mainly based on top-up consumption. Firstly, the money is topped up into the online account of Shian, and the consumption amount is deducted from the online account when the order is submitted.After the transaction is completed, the food security will settle the customer's shopping expenses to each enterprise.

In fact, this model borrows from China's largest third-party payment platform in the future, and Shi An plays the role of a guarantor in the middle.

On the one hand, it guarantees to customers that the products you buy will not have quality and quantity problems.On the other hand, it guarantees to the enterprise that the purchase payment will be fully settled and settled safely.

But Zhao An has no idea of ​​setting up a third-party settlement platform.

Although Zhao An was once again popular, he never thought about holding all the profitable industries tightly in his own hands.

There are so many ways to make money in the world.As long as he chooses a path he recognizes and sticks to it, he believes that his achievements will not be worse than anyone else.

However, there are many hidden dangers in the absence of a professional third-party settlement platform.

First of all, if there is no professional maintenance, network data is likely to be attacked and tampered with.Secondly, once a dispute arises in such a transaction model, the three parties will spend a lot of energy to deal with it.

Food safety is now completely relying on its own corporate background to support it, and the account recharge data is still stored in an independent database to prevent attacks.

At the same time, it also relies on the reputation of food safety in the entire industry to maintain the trust relationship between customers and enterprises.

What Zhao An urgently hopes now is that the legendary payment platform will mature and go online as soon as possible.In the future, Angou.com can choose to conduct payment transactions through it.

Or is it talking about the business itself of Shi An, in the past three months, Shi An has invested a lot of money to expand its transportation department, and registered its own company name - Anyun.

Only in this way has the medium-speed transportation of commodities in most parts of the country been realized.

When the companies that live in Ango.com receive orders through the network platform, they pack them in their respective warehouses.

Every day, Anyuan branches all over the country will go to various enterprises to receive packages, and then Anyun will conduct unified dispatch and transportation across the country.Under normal circumstances, the package can be received within three to four days.

Of course, this speed is still not as good as those courier companies in the market outlook.After all, Anyun's transportation is mainly through land transportation, and Huaxia's current air transportation costs are still too high.

And this has led to the fact that fresh food cannot be transported across provinces for the time being.

It can be predicted that the transportation volume of Ango.com in the early stage will not be too much. Compared with the Anyun that has already spread all over the country, it is far from enough to maintain the daily cost of Anyuan.

Zhao An originally thought that he would turn to his parents for help, and let An Yun undertake all the transportation business of the Hongxiu and Yuehua companies.

But what Zhao An didn't expect was that after the news of the establishment of Anyun Transportation spread, a large number of companies extended an olive branch to Anyun for cooperation.

Many of these companies are food companies that Zhao An once visited in the Lighthouse Country.

These companies indicated that as long as the price of Anyun is right, they are willing to consider handing over their original transportation business to Anyun.

On the one hand, they wanted to sell a favor to Zhao An, and on the other hand, it was because of their recognition and trust in Zhao An.

In addition to these companies, there are even many individual consumers who have asked whether Anyun undertakes personal transportation business.

Most of them have experience in online shopping on the original food safety website, and they have considerable trust in the delivery business of food safety.

Zhao An had originally planned to start a personal transportation business, so he would naturally not miss the door-to-door business.

Due to various reasons, Anyun's development speed far exceeds Zhao An's imagination, and it has reached a basic balance of income and expenditure within less than a month of its establishment.

Of course, Zhao An didn't dare to relax in the slightest, and he didn't relax because of the lack of competitors.

Zhao An has also encountered many transportation companies that bully customers in the past, at least he hopes that his luck will not become like this.

In addition to ordinary transportation services, Anyun also provides express transportation within the same city.And this business is based on the evolution of the original food delivery.

And this has become the basis of the third module of Angou.com - Cooked Food Delivery.

However, the current cooked food delivery is still only a few cooked food brands under the name of Zhao An and Zhao's mother, mainly because food safety control is too troublesome.

Deli foods that are cooked and sold are different from those that have been stored for a long time.

The quality of the same batch of the latter is roughly the same, so as long as regular inspections can ensure safety and quality issues.

However, the former is still mainly produced manually, with different staff members and even different time periods.There may be large quality differences.

Not to mention some unscrupulous restaurants, there is no quality and safety inspection at all.

For the field of food delivery, Zhao An is very cautious, he does not want customers to eat unsafe food.

At present, the person in charge of Angou.com is communicating with several large chain restaurants, hoping to start with these enterprises with relatively high average quality.

However, the negotiation process was not smooth.

Foreign catering companies represented by KFC have plans to set up their own food delivery business.They already have a fairly mature food delivery system abroad, and they only need to copy it to China to implement it.

However, there are very few large chain catering brands in China.Most domestic catering chain brands are still in the stage of rapid expansion of storefronts, and they will not consider takeaway business for the time being when storefront operations have not reached saturation.

What's more, in the field of food delivery, Angou.com, which has only a few brands, has no advantages at all.So they don't need to use Angou.com for publicity.

As for the more representative restaurants in the region, such as the roast duck restaurant in Beijing, for example, a chain of fried buns in Haicheng, they tend to cooperate with Ango.com.

But this time, because of its own problems, Ango.com temporarily rejected all cooperation.

There are too many regional stores, neither the current technical strength of Ango.com nor the actual conditions of the current network equipment are enough for the website to provide too many choices.

So the third module is in an embarrassing situation for the time being. Although it has a regular passenger flow of several old brands, except for Zhao An, the company is not very optimistic about it.

But in any case, the two major problems of settlement and transportation have been solved, and Angou.com is still officially launched.

Although it is a shopping website, the current Ango.com is more like a large shopping mall with clearly marked prices.Customers can browse various information and prices of products through the webpage, but there is no shopping guide customer service that can be consulted.

Only when there is doubt about the shopping mode, or if there is a problem with the shopping order, can professional food safety staff answer the questions.

Such a model may alienate consumers and businesses, but the advantage is that it can save a lot of labor costs.

At present, what Ango.com sells are products, all of which are food, and there are relatively few matters that need to be consulted.

Moreover, the companies that can sell on Ango.com have all passed the strict screening of food safety.The quality is trustworthy, and the products are quite different. Customers can quickly lock in the target according to their own needs, and naturally there is less demand for shopping guides.

This is a change determined by different industries and different backgrounds of the times. Zhao An did not copy the online shopping experience of later generations mechanically.As for how to develop in the future, it depends on the future development of the food industry market.

On May 5, the seventh day of Ango Online.

In the food safety company and the Internet department, all employees are paying attention to the operation data of Angou.com, and the director Zhou Liwei is no exception.

On the first day of Ango.com's launch, in addition to the first and third modules that were originally available on the food safety website, the number of orders for the second module, which had high expectations, was only 1134.

You must know that now Ango.com has spread all over the country, and more than 70 companies have their own online shopping malls on Ango.com.Moreover, they are all companies of a certain scale, and each company receives no more than 20 orders on average.

This was indeed a blow to Zhou Liwei.

Although his boss has been reassuring him that Ango.com will be successful, but looking at the bleak data, he has not had a rest for several days.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of Zhou Liwei's office, and Zhou Liwei said, "Please come in."

However, after the door was pushed open, Zhou Liwei immediately stood up and said, "Boss, why are you here?"

"I'm here to buy you tea!"

Holding two teacups in his hand, Zhao An walked up to Zhou Liwei and handed one to Zhou Liwei.

"This is Ontario's specialty Huangshan Maofeng. It tastes pretty good. Anyun just delivered it to my house last night. I couldn't wait to taste it, but I didn't sleep well all night. It can only prove that this tea is really refreshing."

Zhao An calmly told Zhou Liwei about his embarrassment last night.

Zhou Liwei's nervous expression relaxed slightly, but after a while, he thought about what Zhao An said just now, and asked:

"Boss, what do you think this tea is?"

"Well, I bought it from Ango.com. It took four days from when I placed the order to when I got the tea flowers."

"It seems that the transportation process is still a bit slow. From Ontario to the capital, I thought it would only take two or three days."

Hearing this data, Zhou Liwei fell into a tangle again.

At this time, Zhao An wanted to knock Zhou Liwei on the head, but when he thought of Zhou Liwei's hard work and dedication in the past three months, and his head with more powerful reflective ability, Zhao An still dispelled his dangerous thought, and said straight to the point :

"I want to tell you that word-of-mouth fermentation on Ango.com still takes a while, and you don't have to stare at these data every day. Since we have put in so much effort, now we just need to wait for the results quietly. Don't be too Worry about it."

In fact, Zhao An was not usually a boss who was particularly good at comforting his subordinates, but he could always feel Zhou Liwei's anxiety and urgency.

Huaxia online shopping has grown from scratch, which must be a very difficult process.He wanted to ease the mood of his subordinates a little in his own way.

Seeing the usually serious and mature boss running over to comfort him, Zhou Liwei was quite touched. He wanted to say something, but Zhao An waved his hand and left the office holding his teacup.

After Zhao An left, Zhou Liwei turned off the real-time data summary of the website, and took a sip of the slightly bitter Huangshan Maofeng.

This time, he still decided to continue to trust his boss. Since he had done everything he could, he would wait quietly for the future.
