The weather is getting hotter, are you still willing to go out?

Anyway, the temperature is now unacceptable to me. When I come in, I feel like it is burning, so I am a person who can’t live without my mobile phone, because the mobile phone has the "stay-at-home economy" ".

As a new Internet product, the "stay-at-home economy" has become a way of life that today's young people rely on. It is in demand by both office workers and home-owners. Because of the stay-at-home economy, they can live without going out. Enjoy what's out there.

For example, when eating, you can order takeout for three meals a day, or you can get food delivered by yourself. Anyway, it is more convenient than going out to buy it yourself. You can place an order with just a finger on your mobile phone, and there are also riders. How nice to have it delivered to your door.

The "stay-at-home economy" has been able to develop to this day, firstly, due to the development of the Internet, secondly, the powerful functions of smartphones, and thirdly, the power of these food delivery platforms.

Nowadays, Meituan and Ele.me, the two largest companies, almost control the development direction of the food delivery market. So do you know how Ele.me, wearing little blue, came to be?

Although today's Ele.me belongs to Ali, it is not Ali's own. It is a new system "adopted". Its founder is actually a college student-Zhang Xuhao.

Nowadays, college students can order directly on their mobile phones if they want to eat, but Zhang Xuhao still needed to call the restaurant at that time, and not all restaurants can deliver.

Zhang Xuhao was a graduate student at that time, and he often studied and experimented on projects until midnight. By that time, there was no food in the school. He wanted a takeaway from the bargain-price restaurant he often went to, but the restaurant also I felt it was too late and rejected his business deal.

If it were someone else, he could just complain a little and raid his friend's instant noodles, but he saw a huge business opportunity.

Eating is a major event in life. No one can live without eating. However, when everyone is working or busy, there is basically no time to go in and eat, and there are few restaurants that can deliver food. My delivery time is very slow.

If we could combine supply and demand, would it be profitable to be an "intermediary" specializing in food delivery?

Zhang Xuhao contacted his classmates, and a few college students founded Ele.me. They did not expect that they would become the leader in the industry in the future.

At that time, their business was very good, but they did not have enough staff. At that time, no one knew how much money they could make by delivering food. How long could this company established by a few college students last? Therefore, there are many people but few lives.

In order to start work, Zhang Xuhao and several classmates got on the horse and delivered food together. This was very tiring for these technicians. Who would have thought that a company boss would need to be a rider himself? Going to deliver food!

Later, Ele.me became famous and started to flourish in many cities. There were more and more users, and stores were also added to it, making it a software that everyone could not live without.

In the future competition, Meituan will become Ele.me’s biggest competitor. Several food delivery companies have appeared in recent years, but none of them have broken through the situation of these two companies.

In the beginning, Meituan first cooperated with Alibaba. Later, Meituan left Alibaba and found Tencent, which caused Alibaba to have shortcomings in this area.

In 2018, Alibaba took down Ele.me in one fell swoop and spent US$9.5 billion or 66.5 billion to acquire Ele.me. Since then, Alibaba has had its own power in the food delivery industry, and Ele.me has also found it. Strong support.

From a college student to a big boss who invented an industry myth, Zhang Xuhao can be said to be a winner in life. Compared with some big bosses who have been working hard in the business world for many years, he is no less generous.

Did Zhang Xuhao, who received the money, be fired and go to retire?

Of course not.

Although Ele.me has become an Alibaba company, Zhang Xuhao still works at Ele.me. After all, this is the software he invented and he understands it best.

People can never be young, but there will always be young people in this world. As a person born in the 1980s, Zhang Xuhao has set an example for all young people.

We are ordinary people, we don’t have such eyes as Zhang Xuhao and others, but like them, we are all people who can put in hard work and sweat.

You have to work hard in life. No matter you are rich or ordinary, you cannot give up easily because of the ups and downs in front of you. Then when you see the success of others, you will only be envious and jealous.

It is better to pick up the hoe and work hard.
