Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

It’s really not that comfortable to read while wearing a mask.

It's late at night, and when I look out the window from here, I can see the school scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. The lights in the teaching building opposite are still bright, but unfortunately there are still people having evening classes.

The girl next to me packed up her things and left the library around eight o'clock in the evening.

As time went by, the surrounding classmates also left one after another.

Xu Xing took a look at the situation nearby, finally took off his mask, and breathed in the fresh air.

The three of them haven't spoken much, let alone other interactions.

Yan Chijue was still the same as before, silently studying by himself.

Xu Niannian next to him was not so dull. He occasionally raised his head and looked at Xu Xing.

However, it is not the National Day, and there are many people in the library. People still do not want to talk casually and affect the surrounding environment.

When it was almost nine o'clock in the evening and there was almost no one around on the third floor, Xu Xingcai shamelessly asked Yan Chiju for advice on a certain subject.

Next to him, Yan Chijuan snatched his thermos cup back, closed the lid and stuffed it into his school bag.

In fact, in the early days, in order to compete and compete for market share, not to mention charging fees, many even saved deposits, just to burn money to squeeze the market.

So far, over the past few weeks, this shared bicycle, named "Dingdang Bicycle" by Lu Pengyou, has gradually gained more than 400 registered users in the school.

"good."

Xu Xing looked a little weird at this action and thought, could this be considered jealous?

Although it is indeed silly to drink water from two girls at the same time, it is not appropriate to choose only one to drink from. If I had known better, I might as well have brought my own water bottle.

"Sometimes I have to walk a long way to find one, but by then I have almost reached my destination." Yan Chijie said, "Sometimes I can see more than ten cars at the door of my dormitory, but I can take my roommate's car.

There’s no need for electric cars either.”

"You can complete your credits and apply for graduation in your junior year, and take the postgraduate entrance examination one year in advance." Xu Niannian on the other side said, "By then you will be the one with the lowest academic qualifications."

"I'm also concerned about you along the way." Xu Xing said, "How are you? How are you feeling recently? If you can't bear it, don't push it."

She didn't buy a new one after she came back. She usually rides on her roommate's electric scooter to go to class, and when she comes to the library, she just walks for exercise.

"So why are you riding here with me?" Yan Chi asked jealously, "The parking lot is not here."

Xu Niannian looked on with a half-smile, while Yan Chijue raised his eyes and discussed the problem with him as usual.

Disappointment suddenly appeared on his face.

"Meeting someone is fate, but whether they have the ability or not depends on them," Xu Xing said.

【Yan Chi Jian】: The annoying guy is here again.

Xu Niannian rolled her eyes at him, picked up his backpack and followed Yan Chijuan's footsteps.

After Yan Chijuan walked down the high steps, he came to a red bicycle, took out his mobile phone, opened WeChat, and scanned the QR code on the seat.

【Xu Xing】: She's in love with someone else? I'll go ask her.

Xu Xing has no intention of solving it. After all, as long as other companies participate in the market competition, this problem cannot be solved.

After saying this, Yan Chijiu sped up.

In other words, it itself is not a suitable model for making money.

"Let's get you to the dormitory safely first."

"Just talking." Xu Xing walked out of the slowly opening elevator door, "I'm not going to compete with others for a postgraduate placement."

"..." Xu Niannian held her forehead in confusion.

As a result, in the next second, Xu Xing, who was opposite, stretched out a hand and took the two thermos cups into his hands, then opened the lids and took two sips each.

Lu Pengyou had played a role in promoting the takeaway food on campus before, so he knew the process very well.

Lu Pengyou, who was buried in front of his desk, raised his head. When he saw Xu Xing, he suddenly showed a surprised expression, "Why are you here when you have time?"

You can directly find two girls to share some water, which saves him from going to the corridor to pour water.

Yan Chijuan and Xu Niannian each brought their own water glasses. Xu Xing subconsciously reached out and paused between the two water glasses.

Xu Xing didn't care how he developed, and only gave a few reminders when necessary.

However, Xu Xing in his previous life had not yet seen the implementation of this technology.

Lu Pengyou: "..."

After being dispersed, these 100 bicycles were actually inconspicuous, but they couldn't stand up to Lu Pengyou's strong publicity.

Lying in bed at night, Yan Chijuan’s circle of friends was updated.

"Come to the library to prepare for the final exam. Come and take a look."

"But this is not a solution. If the scale expands in the future, I won't be able to hire people to do this, right?"

【Xu Xing】: If you fart, hurry up.

"I specifically found the location and squatted there for more than half an hour. I squatted down on the person and asked him to remove his lock."

Xu Xing was about to put on the mask again and wanted to drink some water. His eyes unconsciously drifted to the two water glasses on the table.

Soon, the password for the bicycle lock popped up on it. After Yan Chiju unlocked it, he lowered the seat and rode on.

"Hey, are you leaving now?"

After walking out of the dormitory, Xu Xing looked up at the girls' dormitory diagonally opposite and exhaled a breath of hot breath, which turned into white mist in the cold wind.

Xu Xing leaned back in his chair and said after listening: "You can think of some plans to try. Min Da is your testing ground."

The accompanying picture shows a water glass on the table. Judging from the background, it should have been taken in the dormitory.

The three of them rode all the way to the dormitory building and after dropping off the two girls, Xu Xing did not rush home. Instead, he rode to the downstairs of the boys' dormitory, locked the car and ran to the dormitory.

Xu Niannian, a design major, couldn't get into the conversation, but he wasn't studying on his own either. He just quietly held his chin and watched the interaction between them.

"I thought you really cared about us." Lu Pengyou curled his lips.

"Whenever you can make a name for yourself in school, you can expand the scope a little bit."

Xu Xing, who was next to him, raised his eyebrows and scanned a shared bicycle made by Lu Pengyou. Xu Niannian did the same.

When a career is just starting out, people tend to be overly excited.

"I'm full of energy now, okay?" Lu Pengyou picked up the paper on the desk and said, "I can continue to do market research and data analysis, and I will be able to optimize the Dingdang Bicycle 2.0 version soon."

"Problems are all solved. I'm optimistic about you." Xu Xing stood up and patted his shoulder, "I'm leaving now. If you have any difficulties, feel free to tell me."

Even in later generations, shared bicycles have not really solved this problem.

But his purpose is also very simple. Anything that can broaden the scope of WeChat payment is worth doing.

The premise is that it can be charged.

Riding a shared bicycle on the road in school, Xu Xing turned to look at Yan Chiju next to him and asked, "How is this bike? Is it easy to use?"

"Don't you have any good ideas if you co-write? I saw that when you were doing takeout and Pink Notes, weren't you doing one trick after another?"

Although it is not as big as Xu Xing's family, and far behind the other two roommates, Lu Pengyou is quite happy with it.

If the deposit itself is excluded, the cost of a bicycle is about several hundred. Assuming that the bicycle is used three or four times a day, it will take about several months to pay back the cost.

This goes against the original intention of sharing bikes.

"It's unnecessary."

Then he asked some classmates at work and in his department to start a week-long building sweep operation, successfully spreading the concept of shared bicycles.

The problem of the distribution of shared bicycles has been difficult to solve until later generations. Apart from manually adjusting and dispatching bicycles at fixed times and at fixed points, there is no particularly good way.

Judging from the trend of future generations, bike sharing will not be able to make money at all in the early to mid-term.

The library was about to close, and the three of them got up to pack their things.

"I just came to check on your mental state. If there's no big problem, I won't worry about it."

"Secrets must not be revealed."

"I'm wondering if I should say hello to the school and ask the security guards to keep an eye on them and not let the shared bicycles ride out of the school gate."

With the development of autonomous driving and artificial intelligence, ghost bicycles may actually appear in the future, driving automatically to designated locations and parking in the middle of the night.

"Is this what you are looking for for Lu Pengyou?" Xu Niannian asked, "I think you want to poach everyone in the dormitory."

Xu Xing held Xu Niannian's water glass in his hand and followed the two people. After drinking Xu Niannian's water, he inserted the water glass into her bag.

[Li Zhibin]: Do you think I am you? Where did I get so much money?

"I thought you would be very distressed."

"I think you are just being mean." Xu Niannian chuckled twice, "You are very childish."

[Li Zhibin]: Let me ask you a very serious question.

The three people walked out of the library door.

"It should be fine here in Minda. Compared with being stolen, Lu Pengyou should be worried about being locked up." Xu Xing said with a smile.

He first went to counselor Wu Zhiguo and asked for a business application form, and wrote down his plan in detail and submitted it.

There are about a hundred of them, scattered in dormitory buildings, teaching buildings, libraries and school gates.

Xu Xing and Yan Chijuan had an electric bike before, but that electric bike had been parked at the rental house, and Yan Chijuan had no intention of riding away when he left.

【Li Zhibin】:Stop!

[Li Zhibin]: It’s just her! Give me some ideas quickly.

At this point, the future expectations of shared bicycles are indeed inferior to those of Eat.me takeaways and Pink Notes.

Xu Niannian and Yan Chijuan, who were packing their things, each paused for a moment, and then continued to pack, but their eyes had involuntarily glanced at Xu Xing's hand.

"But some students may really have to leave school, and it would be inconvenient if they are not allowed to go out."

"I see that several of your courses are not from this semester." Xu Xing walked into the elevator, stood in front of the two girls, turned around and pressed the button for the first floor, "Are you busy?"

"That's what I say." Lu Pengyou muttered, "But I feel like this is not very profitable. Judging from the current usage rate, getting back the money is a problem."

"The main reason is that the quantity is too small." Xu Niannian said, "But if there are too many, it feels like a waste, and aren't you afraid of the bikes being stolen?"

"Oh? It's a rare visitor!"

Xu Xing still remembered that in his previous life, he often saw shared bicycles crowded together at the entrances and exits of some schools or subways, which could even crowd the crosswalks.

"Why don't you try to save some face first?" Xu Niannian curled his lips.

Then I found connections in the student union, and relied on my seniors who had previously worked together to make Eat.me takeaways, and successfully obtained some publicity opportunities.

If you are riding a bicycle, five or six minutes will be enough.

"Really?" Xu Xing rode up to Yan Chijuan and said with a smile, "But I saw that you were riding very slowly, so I thought you were reluctant to leave me too early."

"If you don't bother me often, you'll be busy." Yan Chijue turned his head away from looking at Xu Xing who was reflected in the elevator door.

"Then continue to look for problems, solve them, and just take your time."

"If there are any shortcomings, you can mention them to Lu Pengyou."

"That's true." Xu Xing laughed.

I rode the shared bicycle in the opposite direction from the library to my dormitory, walked slowly to the parking lot, and drove home.

[Xu Xing]: Do you want to go on a yacht again?

[Li Zhibin]: How to choose a birthday gift for a girl?

【Xu Xing】:Is Yao Yuanyuan’s birthday coming?

[Li Zhibin]: I didn’t say it was for her.

"I'm accompanying Juju." Jian Jiashu laughed, "Send Juju back to the dormitory, and then drop by."

Just when Xu Xing was thinking wildly, WeChat vibrated, and someone sent him a new message.

However, this situation will not be a problem in later generations because the number of shared bicycles is too widespread.

[Li Zhibin]: Then I am still saving money and waiting to buy a house. Let me be more practical.

While Xu Xing listened to Lu Pengyou's complaints, he sat down in his seat and listened to his sharing with great interest.

Yan Chijuan picked up his schoolbag and walked towards the elevator.

"Do you believe it, I can guarantee my graduate degree if I just tell the school?" Xu Xing raised his eyebrows, "Maybe I can directly study for a master's degree and a Ph.D., and the tutor's research funds will be directly taken care of. There won't be anyone who wants it, right?"

"There must be a lot of trouble." Lu Pengyou smacked his lips, "I don't know what happened, but a car that was positioned flew to Honghai Road yesterday, a full eight kilometers away, and the ride has never come back."

Xu Xing was still expecting it to be sent by Yan Chi Ji, but after taking a closer look, he found that it was Li Zhibin.

Min University itself is quite large. It takes more than 20 minutes to walk from the library to the dormitory building if you go slower.

Some people ride bicycles back to their dormitories. They don't want their bikes to be taken away by other people when they get up the next day, so they deliberately install their own private locks and force the buses to be used privately.

However, since November, something special has appeared inside Minda - bicycles with a unified style, the same appearance, and a bright red look.

[Xu Xing]: Your salary and bonus are quite large. They should have been more than hundreds of thousands for a long time.

Later, after the entire market basically stabilized, the normal charging process re-entered.

"Hey, be careful when riding at night."

"shameless."

The strange atmosphere lasted until half past nine in the evening.

"There are also several cars that have been locked by people's own locks, and several users have complained in recent days."

[Xu Xing]: It depends on what people like.

[Li Zhibin]: I wish I knew.

[Xu Xing]: It’s very simple. Just look at the things she usually uses, such as clothes, bags, shoes, cosmetics, and perfume, and then buy higher-end ones according to the brands.

[Li Zhibin]: Got it!

[Li Zhibin]: Then I would like to treat her to a birthday party, and I’d like to invite you all to come together.
