An Expert Is actually By My Side

Chapter 184: Modern Bike Launches

Yu Jie smoked cigarettes all night, and he didn't think about how to take this clear future.

To be honest, Lin Jun's ability is indeed very strong. Their plan can be realized so quickly, half of the reason is that Yunmeng invested 20 million, and the other half of the reason is that this guy does what he says without procrastination. Act in style.

Whether it is the courage to negotiate hundreds of millions of orders with 20 million yuan, or the means to make several domestic bicycle manufacturers beat the price by relying on the false and real skills of drawing cakes, it is he and Zhang Tao. Can't learn.

It has exhausted all the energy of their team to make the products of modern bicycles well.

However, there is a question, the executive who parachuted from Yunmeng Investment never answered him directly.

What if the user wants to withdraw the deposit?

What if the manufacturer presses for payment?

What if the bank doesn't cooperate?

If any problem is not handled well, it will be a bomb that may be detonated at any time.

He even had a vague premonition in his heart that not only was their project transformed beyond recognition by this guy, but it was also placed on a steel wire. If they were not careful, there would be an abyss beneath their feet.

"This is too exciting."

After extinguishing the cigarette in his hand, Yu Jie, who was sitting in front of the computer, sighed, watching the pale sky gradually appear outside the window, he didn't feel sleepy at all.

His eyes drifted to the wall clock hanging on the office wall.

It's six fifty in the morning.

There are still 10 minutes left before the morning rush hour of Line 2, and the minimum driving interval will be shortened to 5 minutes. At that time, a large number of office workers will emerge at the entrance and exit of the subway.

Today is the first day that the Modern Bike APP is launched in major software markets.

Since three days ago, they have successively delivered the products of modern bicycles to the preset parking spots.

Will this project succeed...

It all depends on the performance of the traffic in the morning rush hour today!

Yu Jie clenched his fists. As a materialist, it was the first time for him to pray so devoutly.

Don't make a mistake...

...

Li Du is a reporter who works for Changjiang Finance and Economics Daily.

Just hearing the name of this newspaper, most people will definitely feel strange, and think that this must be that little-known little newspaper.

And in fact it is.

In today's Internet era, the sales of traditional paper media can be said to be declining, and the days are getting worse day by day.

However, this does not affect them as reporters of financial newspapers.

After all, their main customers are not ordinary people, but usually some investment institutions and financial institutions. No matter how advanced the current media technology is and how wide the channels of information dissemination are, someone must do the work of in-depth industrial chain investigation.

As usual, I bought a bowl of hot dry noodles at the exit of the subway station. Li Du walked towards the unit while thinking about the unfinished manuscript "Analysis of the Operational Situation of Lingfeng Real Estate" last night.

However, at this moment, he suddenly discovered that the entrance and exit of the subway station today seemed a little different from usual?

I saw orange bicycles neatly parked in an open space less than ten meters away from the subway station.

From time to time, after someone came out of the subway station, he took out his mobile phone and walked up to scan the code, and then only heard three long beeps of "Didi Di", and the person who successfully scanned the code to unlock it rode his bicycle and left.

Surprised by this novel scene, Li Du couldn't help but stepped forward, stopped a middle-aged man who was scanning the QR code with his mobile phone, and spoke in a polite tone.

"Brother... what are you scanning?"

The middle-aged man gave Li Du a strange look, and replied.

"Bike sharing? Don't you know?"

"Bike sharing?"

Li Du was slightly taken aback.

In my impression, when I came out of the subway station, I seemed to have seen this word on a billboard. It's just that he didn't pay much attention to the work at that time, but now it seems that he is ignorant.

Seeing Li Du's ignorance, the elder brother smiled and said.

"Yeah, this thing is quite convenient to use. You can scan the code to unlock it by downloading an app called Modern Bike, and the price is not very expensive. I paid a deposit of 299 and can ride for three months for free!"

Upon hearing the deposit, Li Du widened his glasses and said in disbelief.

"A deposit of 299? This can buy a bicycle, right?"

His bicycle only cost 200 yuan, and after six years of use, the chain occasionally fell off, basically without any major failures. The deposit for renting a car actually needs 299. No matter how he looked, he didn't see that the car could be sold for 299.

"It's true to say that, but it's inconvenient to buy and stop by yourself. You have to find a railing to lock it, and you can't take it into the subway station. You can ride from home to the subway station, and you always worry about being caught. The cheap brat let go of his anger. It's not like this thing, just find a place that doesn't get in the way and stop and it's over, and it has nothing to do with me if it gets stolen."

Saying that, the eldest brother smiled embarrassedly, and continued.

"In short, this is the situation. Anyway, I feel very convenient. If you are interested, go to the Internet to find out. I have to go to work, so I won't tell you."

After saying goodbye, the elder brother got on his bike and left.

Li Du didn't stop him, after all, it's really not good to delay people from going to work. It's just that he didn't ask any questions, and his curiosity about the shared bicycle became stronger and stronger.

"Is this thing really that useful?"

Out of curiosity, he put the hot dry noodles in the basket of the car, turned on his mobile phone and downloaded the app of the modern bicycle with data.

The interface of the APP is very clean. The main page is a map with location, which can search for nearby modern bicycles. The plus sign in the upper right corner is the button to scan the code.

Li Du registered an account with his mobile phone number, and soon saw the option to recharge.

At present, the APP of Modern Bicycle provides two levels of deposits to choose from, corresponding to different charging modes.

If you pay a deposit of 99 yuan, you need to purchase an additional monthly card, or pay the rent at a rate of 50 cents per half hour. And if you choose the deposit of 299 like that big brother, you will be given a three-month monthly card, and you can ride for free within three months. The only restriction is that the deposit can only be withdrawn after three months.

I believe that as long as there is a need for subway travel, people will choose the latter.

After all, 299 is not a particularly large number, even a student can afford it, and the deposit can be refunded after three months. Who doesn’t love the cheap money?

But that being said, if the vast majority of users choose the deposit of 299 yuan, Modern Bicycle is equivalent to giving up three months of profits...

What is the purpose of doing this?

As a financial reporter, Li Du unconsciously brought himself into the perspective of an operator to think about this issue, but he couldn't figure it out.

At this time, his eyes unconsciously fell on the entrance and exit of the subway station.

I saw people coming and going there in an endless stream. Although not everyone came over to scan the QR code to unlock these little yellow cars, most of them cast curious glances here.

Don't think about it, they are all potential customer groups.

Wait and see for a few more days at most. Once they find that this thing can greatly shorten their commuting time, I believe that at least half of the people will join the army of those who scan the code to unlock.

At this moment, a piece of data suddenly appeared in Li Du's mind.

It is said that the peak daily flow of people on Jiangcheng Subway Line 2 has exceeded one million people...

If only these people became mod bike customers.

For a moment, Li Du held his breath.

As a financial reporter, he has already understood the business model of Modern Bicycle, and his eyes have become brighter because of this!

High!

Behind this project, there must be an expert manipulating it!

Smelling the big news, he didn't care about calculating the deposit that would be more cost-effective, so he directly chose the 299 package, got on the bike and rushed downstairs to the company.

He rushed into the office almost like running, and when he came to the editor-in-chief's desk, he threw down the hot dry noodles, looked at his boss excitedly and said.

"Editor Wu! Big news!"

Startled by Xiao Li's expression, Editor-in-Chief Wu, who was sitting behind the desk, was slightly stunned for a moment, then coughed lightly and said when he came back to his senses.

"Calm down first, and speak slowly if you have something to say... What is it that surprised you so much?"

"Bike sharing!" Li Du said excitedly with his hands on the table, "I have a report, although it is still in my mind, but I have already figured out how to write it... I want to ask you Apply for tomorrow's headline panel! This discovery is definitely more worthy of the headline position than the gossip about Lingfeng real estate!"

"Bike sharing?" Pushing the glasses on the bridge of his nose, the editor-in-chief Wu Xun looked at his best reporter with a look of astonishment, and said doubtfully, "I seem to have seen this thing in the circle of friends... But does this have something to do with our financial panel?"

Naturally, what the Financial Daily reports should be financial news, and this shared bicycle should be placed in the basket of social news, which does not match the style of the "Yangtze River Financial Daily".

Even if this project is really promising, if you have to report it, you have to wait until the project gets C-round or even D-round financing, right?

It would be embarrassing if the report on their side was written, and the modern bicycle turned yellow within two days.

Such a thing is not unheard of.

After all, no matter how good a business idea is, if it is not managed properly, it is possible to hit the street.

"Of course there is! Behind this bicycle is not just a simple bicycle. It is no exaggeration to say that there may even be a blue ocean market with a market value of tens of billions hidden behind it," Li Du said excitedly, "I even dare to assert that it It will become the hottest concept next year!"

"The entire financial world will go crazy over these bikes!"
