First, let's meet Zhang, a young man born in 1985. He graduated from Tongji University with a bachelor's degree and studied for a master's degree at Shanghai Jiaotong University. His major is not marketing or the Internet. How can he have such a keen sense of business opportunities? It turns out that his family is in business and is greatly influenced by his family.
September 2008
In June, Zhang and his college classmates formed a small team and developed the first online ordering platform in China in half a year. This platform is similar to the scan code ordering takeaway APP we use now, but the platform at that time was not so perfect. It is this platform that can order food in a personalized way that opened Zhang's road to entrepreneurship.
At the beginning, this small team, under the leadership of Zhang and with the joint efforts of everyone, has grown bigger and bigger. In just 10 years, hungry has become one of the national takeaway giants, with 2 million franchisees, and the takeaway service covers more than 2,000 cities across the country. Hungry? Not only is there such a big team, but it has also achieved a qualitative leap in recent years-joining a more powerful Alibaba.
Some people say that no matter how powerful "things" are, they will eventually be acquired by Alibaba. However, Zhang's choice is not necessarily incorrect. Hungry, there will be more team service, better public relations team and so on. If you want to be hungry, you will face strong competitors in the market. If you are hungry, it is never as easy as you think that this brand wants to be unique in the market. Therefore, Zhang agreed to acquire Alibaba. Are you hungry? Zhang knows that integrating into a more powerful and systematic Alibaba platform will not only make the brand Hungry go further, but also make Hungry have a more systematic management.
At that time, Ma Yun was hungry for $9.5 billion, and Zhang immediately cashed in 60 billion yuan from Ali. Since then, Zhang has become a veritable super rich! It is said that since then, Zhang has not started a business, but has become a special assistant of Alibaba. Alibaba didn't mistreat the former boss either.
Although there are still many people talking about Zhang, talking about being acquired by Alibaba. But I think Zhang himself created Hungry. He must have his own choices and reasons to integrate Hungry into Alibaba. Compared with ordinary people, the ten-year history of this successful entrepreneur is really a legend.
