Rebirth begins with e-commerce

"Hello, Mr. Luo!"

"Hello, Mr. Bai!"

Luo Xiu met Bai Yu from Sequoia in the office and the two young female assistants he brought over.

"I have always heard that Mr. Luo is very young. When I see him today, he is indeed a hero and a boy!"

Bai Yu said this, but there was no look of overly shock on his face.

Before this, many millionaires born in the 1980s had already become.

In the upcoming era of mobile Internet, it is not impossible for entrepreneurs to further decline in their age.

After some greetings, one of the female assistants opened a stack of information, "Hello, Mr. Luo, I have a few questions here and I would like to ask you for advice."

Luo Xiu nodded, "Don't be polite, please feel free."

"I saw that the slogan of your rice balls is delivered in one hour, which is something that other group buying websites cannot do. Why do you promise such a high standard of service?"

"You said it very well just now because this is something that other group buying websites cannot do. It is also the difference between our fan balls and other group buying websites, and it is one of the reasons why we are confident of winning this battle."

"Others can't do it, and it's possible that this is just not possible!" She thought about it and added, "Maybe you have done it for the time being, but if you continue to expand externally, your costs will inevitably become higher and higher."

"It's okay, we've prepared for losses in the early stage."

Luo Xiu spread his hands, as if money was not money.

Although these two female assistants seem to be young, they have very complete information. Before coming, they have figured out many of the old stories about the rice balls, and each question is very in-depth.

It can be seen that they are not vase characters and are very capable.

After talking about some basic questions, Bai Yu, who had not spoken, asked: "I want to hear what Mr. Luo thinks about the future of the group buying website."

For him, the specific operation of a company is not the most important thing, the most important thing is whether the founder has a long-term vision.

Luo Xiu thought about it and gave an amazing answer, "I think the current group buying market is just a false prosperity. At most, these bubbles will burst in two years, leaving behind a piece of soapy water."

"Oh? Since it's a bubble, why do you still have to do it?"

Bai Yu suddenly sat upright with interest, wanting to hear the reason why the other party said this.

"To cheat venture capital!"

Luo Xiu's words made Bai Yu and the others stunned.

Bai Yu, a shell company established to cheat money, has seen a lot. They often rely on a ppt to tell a story of nothingness, cheat investment institutions of large sums of money, and then go abroad and never come back.

But no matter how stupid a liar is, he will not tell others that he is a liar, right?

"Just kidding, because we never regard ourselves as a simple group buying website. Group buying is just a small part of our entire life application ecosystem. Of course, although we are not scammers, it can be said that most group buying websites now only want to cheat a sum of money, and we are different from them."

Luo Xiu seemed to be making a joke about ignorance, but in fact he was just simply causing trouble for other group buying websites, especially Meituan, which is about to get investment from Sequoia.

"Back to the question just now, Mr. Luo, why do you think this is a bubble?"

Bai Yu does have many investment plans for group buying websites, and the company has been hesitating whether to place heavy bets on the group buying track.

As the leader in the track, Fantuan.com has very important opinions.

"I look at whether a business model can be successful, just to see whether it has fundamentally changed people's living habits and whether it has provided customers with better services.

In essence, group buying is just a model of e-commerce sales. It does not fundamentally subvert e-commerce, and ultimately it cannot compete with large e-commerce platforms such as Alibaba and JD.com."

"I understand what you mean. What did you mean by Mr. Luo just now refer to the entire ecosystem?"

When he says the seven words "I understand what you mean", it does not mean that he thinks you are right, and it may also mean that he does not want to talk to you about this topic again.

For Sequoia, they do not expect that these group buying websites can really replace Alibaba and JD.com. They just don’t want to miss any dark horse.

"What I want to build is a life application platform that includes food, clothing, housing, transportation and entertainment. Doing takeout and group buying are both part of my ecosystem. I don't care whether they can help me make money right away."

Luo Xiu began to talk to the other party about his longing for this platform, and the other party also gave a lot of valuable opinions.

After the conversation, Bai Yu had a very strong intention to invest in the rice ball.

"Can I talk to your employees?"

Bai Yu finally made a request.

"No problem, I'll give you a list. Which one do you want to talk to, I'll arrange it."

Luo Xiu agreed without thinking too much.

Before he was reborn, he was interviewed many times by people from investment institutions.

Knowing that before they determine their investment, there will be a due diligence process. They will interview the person in charge of key positions of the company to investigate the abilities, loyalty, strengths and weaknesses of these employees, and their management style...

If team members are not capable, they may give up financing or help optimize team configuration.

...

The first person Bai Yu wants to meet is Yang Tianqi, who has the highest education and the highest salary in the company.

"Do they want to see me? But I don't know what to talk to them?"

Yang Tianqi asked Luo Xiu in a confused look.

Otaku like him, he only knows the technology, but he doesn't understand the genius in the capital world. He is even more afraid that he will accidentally say the wrong thing and will ruin the financing.

"Don't worry, they are just lonely and want to chat with someone. You don't have to sacrifice your lust, so what are you afraid of?"

"Really?"

Yang Tianqi walked into the reception room with doubts.

They heard laughter from time to time inside, and they chatted for two hours before the conversation ended.

Yang Tianqi came out from the inside with a springy face, and he seemed to be full of energy.

"What did you talk about in there? You're so happy?" Luo Xiu asked.

"Boss, I finally found my soul mate."

When Yang Tianqi said this, his eyes seemed to be shining.

"It's that Bai Yu? You have a strong taste!"

"What Bai Yu, I'm talking about the beauty in a white dress, called...what is it?" Yang Tianqi took out his business card, "Oh, that's right, his name is Lu Manshu."

"So you want to abandon your sister-in-law?"

"Sister Pao is the second-dimensional wife, this is the real wife, and there is no conflict."

"I have only been chatting with me for two hours, and it's your wife?"

"Boss, you are still young, you won't understand." Yang Tianqi explained, "An old otakus like me who doesn't know how to talk to a girl when she sees her. The first time I talked to a girl, I think our spiritual worlds are highly overlapping, and she must think so."

Luo Xiu laughed after hearing this, "You chatted with her very comfortably, and she felt like the other person was a friend you have known for a long time. This does not necessarily mean that you are very compatible with her, but more likely that the other person is a few ranks higher than you, and she is just compatible with you."

"What's the meaning?"

"You're doing it, do you still need me to explain what backward compatibility means?"

"What you said is just possible. Manshu and I can really talk."

"Hahaha, honest people like you like to deceive yourself, be careful of being deceived by a scumbag."

Luo Xiu left with a smile.
