With the development of smart phones, online ordering service has also developed. The development of mobile APP has greatly stimulated the development of the take-away industry. With the popularity of the Internet in the 1990s, the take-away industry once developed, but before the smart phone was realized, there was only telephone ordering.
However, many discerning people are staring at this trend. The innovation and upgrade of mobile phones will allow Zhang to see unlimited business opportunities. In 2008, Zhang also studied for a master's degree at Shanghai Jiaotong University. It is said that there is no shortage of master's and doctor's degrees in Shanghai, and there are abundant talents.
It is not uncommon for master students and doctoral students to earn thousands of dollars after graduation. While studying for a master's degree, Zhang took a fancy to the food and beverage take-away industry in China. Although there were quite a few people at that time, they wanted to develop an online ordering system. Coincidentally, Ye Feng from the Department of Software of Jiaotong University also took a fancy to this one.
Zhang,,,, and Cao get together to discuss how to make the company bigger. Entrepreneurship is a competition that requires capital and ambition for every college student. Although all five people are worried, risks and benefits go hand in hand, and the road to success cannot be smooth sailing.
In order to make up his mind to start a business, Zhang voluntarily gave up the opportunity to study PhD at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and also dropped out of school. Ye Feng was able to enter Microsoft after graduation, but he also gave up the opportunity to start a business with several partners. You can say that everyone is desperate.
Even the hungry start-up funds are pieced together by everyone's tuition fees. The most important thing in the early stage of starting a business is credibility. In order to gain some reputation in the industry, the first restaurants contracted by Zhang are basically free, while Zhang only sleeps four to five hours a day for several months to get familiar with the "market".
In the first year, five people kept throwing money at Zhang, thus accumulating credibility and popularity. In 20 12, smart phones began to face the public and became a popular app for college students and office workers who were hungry for capital. Almost everyone's mobile phone has a beautiful group or is hungry.
20 18 years, hungry finally reached its peak after a brutal competition and subsidy war. However, in this year, Hungry was wholly-owned by Alibaba and Ant Financial, and Zhang only got 66.5 billion yuan from this cash. Of course, none of the money belongs to him.
After being acquired by Alibaba, Zhang continued to serve as the chairman of Hungry, and continued to contribute to the development of Hungry. 20 191On October 28th, Hurun Research Institute released "2065 438+09 Hurun 80 Self-made Rich List", and Zhang ranked19 with 5.5 billion yuan.
Now, in the lobby of Shanghai headquarters, there is still an old scrapped car, which is used to deliver takeout. Zhang also used it to remind himself and all the hungry employees not to forget his initiative, so as to achieve his ultimate goal. Although Zhang Xu Hao may be hard to compare with some self-made rich people, his success has also inspired many young people.
