Chapter 740: The Torrent of the Times (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Parking slots were the biggest problem encountered in Milestone 1. On the contrary, Chu Yuanxi originally thought that the negotiation would be very difficult, but it was relatively simple, that is, the negotiation with the supply channel.

When I was well-off in the original world, it was also because the initial volume was too small, and the scale of more than a dozen stores was so small that it was almost the same as that of mom-and-pop shops, and the big suppliers loved to ignore it, and the requirements for packaging fresh food were quite high, and I hoped to replenish the stock many times in a day, which was met with a lot of white eyes.

As a result, it may be due to the severe economic cold, and even large-scale convenience store chains such as full-time have begun to withdraw stores or shrink their business scope, so that the well-off needs are quickly responded to.

In addition, other issues are internal to the company, such as the R&D progress of the five IT teams, such as the logistics system and the fresh food processing plant, etc., and there are still a few days left in Milestone 1, which is just the end of the process.

Speaking of which, Xiaokang is five IT teams, but in fact, there are more than five, because the APP team is a super large team, such as the cycling module and the payment transaction module can actually be carried out separately as a team in terms of scale.

And in this milestone, the cycling module is the top priority, because once the other modules are dey, they can not be launched, but cycling is not good, the bicycle is the face of the well-off, not only used to get customers, but also to start the popularity, it must be launched as soon as possible.

That's why Su Gu was appointed as the leader of the entire APP team, and he is an expert in cycling.

However, the ride of Xiaokang Milestone 1 is obviously too late to develop a complete ride with a map function.

The mobile phone map looks ordinary, but in fact it is very complicated, and there are more than ten ordinary configurations of background functions, such as navigation, geocoding, positioning and the like. Therefore, if you want to be large and complete, the R&D cost is very high, and it will not bring direct benefits, basically either for self-use or toB. If you really want to do a good job and be complete, it is very common to invest more than a billion a year, and it is a luxury that is destined to be played only by giants.

If the well-off only does the cycling function, it is very, very cheap, because only two or three of them need to be intercepted, which is what a large number of bike-sharing entrepreneurs who emerged around 2016 do. However, Xiaokang also needs to make high-quality online content, and the requirements for map functions are relatively high, although there is no need to do all, but as a command-type money-burning direction, it is expected that the total development and procurement expenditure will exceed 100 million.

This is the content cost that online content must pay, and it is also the reason why Chu Yuanxi proposed to finance a round of Pre_A first. After all, in the original world, Chu Yuanxi held Zheng De's one billion at the beginning, and now there is not so much money in the account, so he needs to do his work more carefully. However, Xiaokang's complete map function can be launched at Milestone 4, but it doesn't have to be done now.

Therefore, the current riding rhythm is that if you have money in your account, you can go all out to build your own wheels, and at this stage, try to save as much as possible, and the way to save is to access other SDKs.

There are four companies that have done well in domestic maps, Penguin, Baidu, AutoNavi and NavInfo, and the best choice is AutoNavi. Technically, Baidu and AutoNavi are basically the same, but Baidu's SDK is not easy to connect.

For this schedule, after a milestone of research and development, each project team has basically found its own rhythm, at least in Chu Yuanxi's opinion, it has found a rhythm, and there is great hope for it to be completed on schedule, so he is more comfortable.

But the wind and clouds on the rivers and lakes make people dare not feel comfortable.

First of all, two months have passed, and Baidu's billions of Spring Festival Gala red envelopes have been conclusive, staging the strongest black humor in the history of the world's Internet.

Back in early January.

If you use fantasy to describe the social state of the Great Celestial Empire, it is probably more appropriate to define it as a "humane torrent", and this torrent has an explosive rhythm, and the biggest node is during the Spring Festival every year. Among them, one is the Spring Festival, and the other is the Spring Festival Gala.

In recent years, the Spring Festival Gala has been held in recent years, and the official likes to interact with Internet giants and give red envelopes to the audience in the show. Penguins have been on and knelt, Ali has also been on it, the same kneeling, this year it is Baidu's turn. The key is that Robin Lee only received this bid on January 4, and February 4 is Chinese New Year's Eve, leaving only one month for the Baidu iron-headed siege lions.

At that time, Chu Yuanxi was busy with the group reorganization of the Ba people and preparing for the start of the well-off, and he didn't have time to eat melons, but now he has. Recall that Baidu carried the CCTV Spring Festival Gala red envelope that once cried penguins and defeated Ali, and in the face of the humane torrent like a tsunami, he stood still, and he didn't bend his knees?

Chu Yuanxi really can't imagine how Baidu's super god siege lions can stand, because Ali's cloud is stronger than Baidu's, Ali's APP is more concise and capable than Baidu's, and Ali started preparing three months in advance last year, and he still knelt down in the torrent and called Dad.

On the other hand, Baidu, as the first chaotic APP in history, the whole family bucket is its label, and the user login system is like paper paste compared to Penguin Ali, and it takes to traverse the whole family bucket to open an APP, and send 100 requests, which is simply full of flaws. How is it possible in a month? It is impossible to deploy cloud resources alone, and the server cannot be delivered in a month after placing an order on site!

However, Baidu's super god siege lions just spent a month to solve all the problems, optimize the APP, deploy cloud resources in place, and even stop the information flow and advertising system just to support this Spring Festival Gala. How bold and prolific people are, this red envelope was finally safely distributed to more than one billion users across the country, and CCTV was moved to tears!

However, no matter how super the siege lion is, it cannot replace the product manager to solve the problem.

Now it is a mobile phone browser with its own search function, which greatly weakens Baidu's status in the rivers and lakes, and other products are not powerful, and the bad content can not occupy the user's time, and can not create effective demand, a thousand words and a sentence, can not retain users.

Therefore, two months have passed, and all the efforts of the super god siege lions have turned into a financial hole of minus 2 billion. The red envelopes did not bring any positive effect, making Baidu's Q1 a rare huge loss.

If this melon only has a police role in the industry, the next one is the whole society. There are big dog Dong's employees breaking the news on the pulse, Brother Qiang Dong issued the strongest voice since returning to China in a low-key manner, emphasizing in the internal letter to clean up three types of people, people who can't fight, people with poor performance, and people with low cost performance, people who mess around are not my brothers!

Thus was born a hot word of the year - Schrödinger's brother. You're all my brothers, but I'm blind and I can't recognize who they are!

A month ago, Chu Yuanxi made a prediction, at that time, Goudong handed over a bad financial report, and Chu Yuanxi immediately predicted after reading the financial report - Brother Qiang Dong must be magnified!

I just didn't expect it to be this trick......
