Chapter 207 Follow the wind to join the race, move into the twin-star building! (Ch 207)

“We can also do community group buying!”

MeiZhong completed a US$700 million Series D financing in January, with a valuation of US$7 billion.

The funds will be used to expand, acquire and expand tourism, travel and hotel businesses.

At the same time, we built our own delivery team.

Meet the timeliness requirements of food delivery.

I saw a topic online that was not very popular but not unpopular either: Li Yixin’s company was involved in community group buying and online supermarkets.

If we think about it carefully, can we also do community group buying and even online supermarkets?

Although people who order takeout basically don’t cook.

But there are still some people who occasionally order takeout and cook for themselves.

You can directly add the community group buying and online supermarket access points on the MeiZhong App, and you can also do these two businesses.

Anyway, now that we have completed the financing, we can use part of the funds to expand this business.

Plan first!

If you need funds later or if you are short of funds, you can just raise funds again!

It’s not just MeiZhong, some entrepreneurs have also followed suit and entered the online supermarket and community group buying market.

Li Yi built his own financial technology empire, and in less than a year, he is now worth tens of billions.

Some even think that he is worth hundreds of billions.

In the industry, Li Yi’s popularity is more eye-catching than netizens’ understanding of Li Yi.

The financial technology empire built by Li Yi himself is very complete.

And they are very promising!

Online supermarket?

Community group buying?

If Li Yi is optimistic about a new track, just jump in directly.

Apart from anything else, it’s just the ‘new track that Li Yi is optimistic about’.

When the time comes to look for investors for financing, this will be able to convince many investors.

This… is the truth!

Judging from the development prospects of Li Yi’s companies.

It’s no joke that you can find investors and get funding by saying “a new track that Li Yi is optimistic about”.

In addition, some supermarket chains also think that the concept of “online supermarket” can be directly adopted and used.

Li Yi’s online supermarket concept is to focus only on online users. There is no need to find stores with expensive rents in downtown areas or busy locations to reduce costs!

For large supermarket chains, there are store costs of their own.

It is normal to expand online business again, right?

In fact, many supermarkets and supermarket chains have already launched online delivery services.

“I have to say, Li Yi has a unique vision!!”

“I think the fresh food supermarket project is feasible!”

“Li Yi’s online supermarket has its limitations. It seems to reduce the storefront cost and operating cost!”

“But we also lost offline supermarket users, and the investment and expenditure in distribution was also huge!”

“However, community group buying is a good project!”

“Meizhong has completed its D round of financing and is planning to get involved in community group buying projects!”

Inside the cat factory.

The meeting was held after the New Year.

This is the fifth meeting within the Cat Factory.

What we are discussing this time is the project of setting up a supermarket focusing on fresh food!

Originally, the “Hema Fresh” project was launched in 2015, and the first supermarket was officially opened in 2016.

Now, because of Li Yi.

The fresh food supermarket project within the Mao Factory can be approved and established more quickly.

It is expected that the first supermarket will be launched this year.

At this time, Maochang had not yet broken up with Meizhong and was the largest shareholder of Meizhong.

This year…MeiZhong will merge with Dianping.com, which is something Maochang does not want to see because Dianping.com’s largest shareholder is Penguin.

This led to Maochang directly withdrawing its investment from Meizhong and going all-in on Ele.me.

Originally, Penguin invested in Ele.me, and Maochang invested in Meizhong.

Maochang withdrew its investment from Meizhong, and Penguin invested 1 billion US dollars to take over, which is equivalent to the two parties directly transferring investment projects!

…

Li Yi doesn’t understand or care about these things.

It doesn’t matter even if I know.

At this time, online supermarkets and community group purchasing are developing, and these two markets can accommodate too many companies.

There’s no rush at all.

Just keep the development stable!

It will take several years before community group buying and online supermarkets really take off.

In just a few years, most companies can be eliminated.

The only companies that can persevere to the end are those supported by a few giants.

Other small companies will lose in the fight.

Li Yi only needs to ensure the company develops and does well enough.

Don’t worry about anything else, just leave it to time!

After completing the New Year’s greetings, the holiday actually only lasts a few days.

Li Yi and Gu Bangguo traveled to several cities.

We flew back to Yandu together.

…School is about to start!

…

Yandu.

Chang’an Avenue.

Twin Star Building!

The workers went to work on the 25th.

The same goes for Xinghai Group and Yinfu Group.

I usually go to work at this time.

If you can’t come due to something, you can ask for leave.

It’s still very humane.

Xinghai and Yinfu Company are not factories, so there are no orders to rush…it is very convenient to take leave.

After the New Year, the two major groups officially moved into Building 1 of Shuangxing Building!

Li Yi and Gu Bangguo arrived in Yandu on the 28th.

It’s Saturday!

Because the New Year holiday was adjusted, Saturday is also a working day, and the entire company has moved into the Shuangxing Building.

After arriving in Yandu, Fang Yian sent people from the company to pick up Li Yi and Gu Bangguo at the airport.

Sitting in the car, as the vehicle drives through Chang’an Avenue.

You can see two buildings standing on Chang’an Avenue: the Double Star Building!

The signboard of the company that originally owned the Double Star Building: Golden Century Group has been replaced.

On the top of the two buildings, the words “Xinghai Group” and “Yinfu Group” were hung!

Many people in Yandu saw this incident.

It also spread online.

There is a lot of discussion.

However, Golden Century’s market share in Xia Country has continued to decline.

There have been rumors of evacuating Xia State for a long time.

There was discussion online that the Shuangxing Building would be hung with signs reading “Xinghai Group” and “Yinfu Group”.

Yinfu Group and Xinghai Technology also moved from their original Nebula Technology Park to Building 1 of Shuangxing Building.

There are also companies in Double Star Building that exposed internal notices.

Tenants in the high-value Twin Star Building will not renew their leases when their rents expire.

In other words, in the future, the Double Star Building may become the headquarters building of Note Group and Xinghai Technology.

Did Li Yi acquire Shuangxing Building? !

It doesn’t seem to be…

Some people also found out that Shuangxing Building was acquired years ago.

The company that made the acquisition was Xiayin Investment.

Considering the relationship between Li Yi and Xia Yin, they might have rented the Shuangxing Building.

Get the naming rights of Daxia?

Some people also think… Xia Yin acquired Shuangxing Building? Maybe Li Yi bought it himself? !

“Student Li Yi?!”

“Hello!”

Li Yi arrived at Building 1 of Shuangxing Building, and many people couldn’t help but shout and greeted him.

He nodded in response.

Take the elevator and arrive at Li Yi’s company’s site.

More employees greeted Li Yi.

“boss!”

“Mr. Li!”

“Hello, Mr. Li~”

Li Yi nodded in response and said with a smile: “After moving into Shuangxing Building, the new office space should be pretty good, right?”

“Hehe~ Pretty good!!”

“It’s much more spacious!”

“It’s much better than before!”

“The most intuitive feeling is: we are also a big company!”

“It’s high-end, classy, ​​and classy… but the cost is higher!”

“…”

Everyone is very satisfied and happy with the new office space.

I heard someone say that the consumption is higher.

This is also true.

Li Yi said about this matter: “The company will improve the meal allowance, and after Shuangxing Building is gradually recovered, a cafeteria will definitely be opened.”

“We will create a headquarters that integrates leisure, entertainment, fitness and food.”

“Thank you, boss!”

“The boss is generous!”

“The boss still understands us…”

“…”

Li Yi is a young man himself, so naturally you know what everyone wants.

He directly announced an increase in meal subsidies, and also stated that after the Double Star Building is taken back, a headquarters integrating leisure, entertainment, fitness, and food will be built.

Not just using both buildings for offices!

Li Yi talked to the company employees and then found the company assistant.

“President Tongfang and President Luo, please go to the office!”

Mr. Fang is naturally Fang Yi!

Mr. Luo, whose real name is Luo Guangming, is temporarily in charge of Pinxixi, Yigoo Supermarket and Pintuan Buying.

At the same time, Li Yi took Gu Bangguo around the company.

It’s a pity that Aunt Tu is not here. She was in Yuanjiang City a few days ago to deal with the follow-up matters of Zhencheng Bank.

Now, all over the place, we are negotiating various aspects of cooperation with Note Payment: cooperation with large supermarket chains, businesses, water, electricity, gas, bus and subway companies.

A true aerialist!
