The comfortable mood lasted until two days later, and then became a little heavy in the mouth of Wu Mingming, who returned in a hurry.

In the headquarters of Ele.me, everyone was present for the first board of directors and shareholders meeting.

There are not many people, but everyone is a representative of all parties, and at the end of the day, they are also the actual managers of the company or stock holders.

The management of Ele.me headed by Lu Heng, Xiao Jianguo and Wu Mingming are on one side.

Xu Xin from Capital Today and Ji Yue from Sequoia China sat together. The two represented the investment institutions behind each.

The other person is Peng Lei from Alipay. She is wearing a red dress and frowning at the documents in her hand.

There are six people in total, not many, but each party is a famous person in their respective fields.

These are the shareholders of the only and largest online food ordering company in China today.

In terms of potential, Ele.me, which has been favored by all three parties, undoubtedly has a potential as deep as an abyss.

However, following Wu Mingming's work report, most people became a little heavier.

"This is the fact. According to reliable information and feedback from the Human Resources Department and the Technology Department, Baidu is developing an online ordering software similar to ours. This can be seen from the recent resignation of several key personnel in the Technology Department.

In order to find talents in this field, the other party has already started poaching people."

Everyone looked at each other in shock, and several shareholders still didn't seem to react.

"How could Baidu, a search engine company, think of cross-border food delivery software?" Xu Xin couldn't help but ask, her brows filled with disbelief.

Ji Yue didn't speak, his eyes rolled around. He also got similar news through certain channels.

Peng Lei at the back had her fingers tangled and her brows furrowed.

For pure investors like Xu Xin and Ji Yue, the emergence of competitors in Ele.me is just that the companies they invest in will face competition.

But for Alipay, which has a cooperative relationship with Ele.me, this means that the focus of the next work may change again.

Wu Mingming looked around at everyone and said in a serious tone: "Don't underestimate Baidu's cross-border behavior! It seems to be a cross-border behavior, but the influence of the other party on the Chinese Internet is huge, and there are success stories every day.

Thousands of people are using it. Once they use Baidu in their hands for assistance, the promotion of Baidu's online ordering software will undoubtedly take place in an instant. It will appear in front of the public at once, attract enough customers, and complete our original plan.

The most difficult thing to do is to accumulate original users!”

Xiao Jianguo had just returned from Shanghai, and he learned about Wu Mingming for the first time at the meeting.

At this point, it sounds like I still can't turn a corner.

"But Baidu has no experience in this area, so they entered the market in such a hurry?"

Wu Mingming glanced at Xiao Jianguo and sighed suddenly.

"Under the huge temptation of the market, especially since we, as pioneers, have demonstrated the feasibility of this market, their entry into the market will not seem so hasty."

Xiao Jianguo wondered: "At least we started with real-life food delivery bit by bit. We accumulated a lot of experience in this area and obtained enough data before moving onto the path of online ordering. They don't go through this step and enter directly.

I always feel that it’s not very reliable. Mingming, are you sure your source of information is true?”

Wu Mingming sneered and said without a doubt: "It is debatable whether the news is true or not, but it is a fact that several key members of our company's technical department have resigned. I used to be in charge of the human resources department, and I immediately responded to their resignations.

That’s it. Do you think their resignation will be a remuneration issue?”

Xiao Jianguo's tone was stagnant and he was speechless.

Ele.me provides fairly generous remuneration to its employees, especially those involved in technology research and development.

Even if you look at the country and the world, it is at the top level.

This was also the plan Wu Mingming proposed in order to ensure that his staff would not be poached and to retain as many elite talents as possible.

Wu Mingming sneered and said: "The thing that can impress those people is by no means simple money, I know this well. Then besides money, it is nothing more than some temptations for technical talents. The so-called value of life, the so-called fame, and

There is such a thing as social status!”

Ji Yue on the side nodded and said with approval: "Indeed! Although Ele.me is now famous, it is still immature compared with Baidu, which has been famous for a long time. The other party is a big company, and it is also a behemoth when looking at the world. Once the other party

Given sufficiently tempting conditions, for mid- to high-level talents, few will be able to block the attack."

Since even Sequoia's Ji Yue said this, Xiao Jianguo could only frown and accept this fact.

The atmosphere in the room was a bit heavy, especially for Wu Mingming and the others. They had finally reached this point, and suddenly a competitor appeared, and he was a well-established opponent, which made them a little panicked.

"hehe!"

A chuckle rang out, and everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to Lu Heng, who had said nothing before.

"They are in the research and development stage now, right?"

Wu Mingming nodded and looked at Lu Heng with hopeful eyes, "Yes, it is indeed the software research and development period now, otherwise there would be no poaching in the industry to find technical talents in this area. However, with Baidu's technology accumulation, it is estimated that

This research and development cycle is much faster than ours back then. Director, what do you think?"

Lu Heng nodded noncommittally and tapped his fingers on the table slowly and rhythmically.

"The advent of Baidu's online ordering software is already an expected event. Instead of worrying about the inevitable competition in the future, we should think about what the future competition will be like and how we can gain from the competition.

Advantage."

When Lu Heng said this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Yes, instead of worrying, you might as well prepare first.

Otherwise, can we still use small tricks to make Baidu's plan aborted?

Lu Heng said calmly: "I believe everyone has realized the potential and profits of the food delivery market. It is far from being fully swallowed up by Ele.me. This truth is actually very obvious. No industry market will achieve a monopoly position.

, especially in China, there will always be people who eat meat and drink soup."

After looking at the thoughtful crowd, Lu Heng pursed his lips and smiled.

"Let's put it this way, I have long expected the emergence of Baidu's online food ordering competitor. Even before that, I had invested in a Chongqing college student entrepreneurial plan. They were also engaged in online food ordering, but

It’s just more specialized in a certain aspect.”

Hearing what Lu Heng said, Xiao Jianguo couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Looking at Lu Heng in disbelief, he stuttered and asked: "The entrepreneurial plan of Chongqing college students? It's right under our noses? Director, you didn't stop it? You also invested in them?"

Several questions in a row showed Xiao Jianguo's surprise at this time.
Chapter completed!
