Faced with Wei Lan's rhetorical question, Li Mu cried out for being wronged.

"Wendy Gobber is not my confidante, she is only an ordinary friend at best. ”

Wei Lan smiled, hugged Li Mu's arm, the whole body shook gently like a tumbler, and said with a smile: "I have to state first, I'm not jealous, I feel sorry for you, confidante is a time-consuming, laborious and expensive species, sometimes something happens and you have to bother you to find a way to rescue her, it's too troublesome." ”

Li Mu heard the ridicule in her words, hugged her waist, and said with a smile: "You're right, one such experience is enough, I don't want to experience it a second time." ”

Wei Lan said: "If there are good girls, I don't have any opinions, but it's okay to have a particularly utilitarian girl, such as this Wendy." ”

Speaking of this, Wei Lan said: "There are a lot of introductions about her on the Titter, this girl seems to be a Cambridge bachelor's degree or a master's degree, and then she wants to come to China for further study? I don't mean to look down on domestic universities, but on the whole, our universities are more than one grade worse than Cambridge, and I rarely hear about downgrading for further study, and a person with normal judgment ability basically will not make such a choice." ”

Li Mu said: "Listening to what she meant, it seems that she is very interested in Chinese culture, so she specially wants to come to China." ”

Wei Lan shook his head and said: "I don't believe it, but her statement is too shrewd, one is impeccable, and the other is more likable, Chinese people especially like foreigners to identify with their own culture, once a foreigner says that he likes Chinese culture, everyone will unconsciously have a good impression of him, so that any foreigner will say that he likes Chinese culture, in fact, they may not even use chopsticks." ”

Li Mu smiled: "You seem to be very dissatisfied with her, are you jealous?"

"Certainly not jealousy. Wei Lan said seriously: "I think she has a plan for you, I don't want you to be used by this kind of person, she is not like a woman like me or Ziqiu, we are dedicated to you, and the only need for you is emotion rather than material." ”

Li Mu couldn't help hugging her tightly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I can tell who has what intentions for me, I have a cooperation with the Goldberg family, and it is about the future IPO of Makino Technology." ”

Wei Lan nodded and said, "I know you must have something in mind. ”

Saying that, Wei Lan said to Li Mu again: "Actually, Ziqiu is really a good girl, you might as well think about it in the long run." ”

Li Mu smiled and said: "You are also a good girl, and I have always thought about you in the long run." ”

Wei Lan blinked and smiled, and said, "What I said about the long term is not temporal, but dimensional. ”

After speaking, she waved her hand and said, "I won't give you any ideas, I'm so hungry, should we make something to eat?"

Li Mu spread his hands and said: "There are only instant noodles and some sausages at home, which will not spoil after a long time, and there is nothing new." ”

"It doesn't matter. Wei Lan stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go to the kitchen to cook noodles together." ”

Li Mu nodded, followed Wei Lan to the kitchen, and looked at the almost empty refrigerator and storage cabinets, helpless.

There are only a few packets of instant noodles and a little sausage at home, and there is not even a single egg in the excess.

This made him nostalgic for the later days when he could place orders for takeout with his mobile phone.

At this moment, he even wanted Makino Technology to develop a take-out ordering system, but this idea was quickly rejected by him.

The reason why Ele.me is a food delivery platform was born and can become popular is because of the benefits of the mobile Internet, among which, the smart phone that can access the Internet and operate the APP is the core, in addition, the high-speed mobile network and relatively cheap tariffs are the skeleton and flesh that support the core, as well as convenient mobile payment, which is one of the souls of the entire O2O industry.

At this stage, the proportion of smart phones is too small, the tariff of the mobile network is too high, the network speed is too slow, it takes about a minute to load a picture of hundreds of KB with a mobile phone, and the direct tariff generated is more than one yuan, and there is no mobile payment channel, in this case, it is too difficult to do takeaway O2O.

However, Li Mu soon realized that he had fallen into a misunderstanding.

The business model is a very common thing, sometimes the transplantation of the business model can be cross-platform, e-commerce itself did not start from the mobile Internet, he is a business model of online transactions born in the traditional Internet era, and then used in a variety of platforms and carriers, in this case, the life service of takeaway, there is no need to require it to be incubated in the mobile Internet environment.

Takeaway products, unlike taxi-hailing products, have a huge limitation, that is, the people who provide the services and the people who receive the services are very mobile, and they are highly dependent on the GPS positioning in the smart phone to make it easier for them to capture each other;

However, in essence, the person who provides the service and the person who receives the service are fixed, and the person who does not fix is just the delivery person who provides delivery service in the middle, and no one will ever order a takeaway, do not write a clear address, but let the delivery person find his own according to his own factual positioning, and no restaurant moves his location while cooking, so, theoretically speaking, takeaway products can be directly used in the traditional PC Internet era at this stage.

Immediately, Li Mu began to build the product architecture and requirements in his mind.

First, the whole product is most suitable for EB, that is, to develop a website that provides food delivery services;

Second, the website should have two sets of backends, one for merchants and one for users;

Third, the user uses the PC to place an order on the page, and the merchant also receives the order through the PC, and then the system sends the order to the delivery person;

Fourth, Li Mu can not consider the PC terminal at the user level, that is to say, this set of products only considers ordinary users who have PC terminals to operate, but the merchant's PC is what Li Mu needs to consider.

At this stage, although the price of computers has dropped a lot, the problem is that many small restaurants may not be able to afford a computer in a few months' net profit, so if you want to expand this business, you must find a way to solve those merchants who cannot afford to add PC terminals.

This question may be more troublesome to say, but Li Mu has his innate advantage, he can directly cooperate with Shenzhou, and let Shenzhou customize a low-configuration commercial all-in-one machine, which is specially provided for merchants.

The machine can be leased to the merchant, pay a part of the deposit, or improve the business information, that is, it can be tried at a low price, once they find that the online order has brought them a considerable increase in income, they will naturally consider buying, or long-term lease;

Fifth, because there is no smartphone, the mobility of the delivery person will be castrated, so the most appropriate way is for the delivery person to limit the area, and the system will send orders to the delivery person's mobile phone in the form of text messages.

For example, when the food delivery business has not started in the early stage and the usage rate is low, a food delivery person can cover a community or office building of 2,000 people, then, his limited area is within the range of 2,000 people, and only when the order is placed at the address within his range, it will be pushed to him;

For example, if the order radius is three kilometers, then the user can only place orders for merchants within a radius of three kilometers for the time being, so that the delivery person will also be tied within three kilometers of the limited area, so that the delivery efficiency can be guaranteed;

Among them, a large number of SMS delivery services can be communicated in-depth with the two telecommunications services, and the preferential price of the enterprise can definitely be guaranteed, and the rest is to find a way to mediate between the two to see who gives the lowest cost.

Under normal circumstances, the tariff of a short message for large customers can be reduced to around five cents, or even controlled below five cents, so that the communication cost implied in an order is not high.

In this way, take yourself as an example, if you want to order food now, the entire order and service process you want is:

Turn on the computer first, list Ziyun Villa as the delivery address, then what you see on the website is all the restaurants that have joined the platform within three kilometers;

Then, through the PC website, browse and choose the dishes, and confirm the price, these steps are the same as on the mobile phone;

Then, after you pay online with Alipay, the order will be sent to the seller, and after the seller reviews the order, click confirm, then the buyer and seller have reached an agreement, and the system will start to send orders to the delivery people in all limited areas, including Ziyun Villa.

In the information of the dispatch, there will be a complete pick-up address information, as well as a relatively vague delivery address, such as blurring the building number and house number, consignee information, after the delivery person receives the information, first look at the approximate location, and then reply to the text message to determine the order;

In the case of multiple people grabbing orders, the system will fairly determine who is the first delivery person to successfully grab the order, and the delivery person can go to the merchant to pick up the goods after receiving the confirmation information, and when he arrives at the merchant and gets the meal, he will see the consignee's detailed address, and then send the meal.

After the user places an order using the PC, the rest is to wait, and after the delivery person delivers the meal to the door, the transaction will be automatically completed, and the user can also click to confirm on the PC in the next time, or make a comment and apply for after-sales.

Although it feels a little more troublesome than a mobile phone, but if you think about it carefully, the first batch of users who used Taobao back then came all the way, and it was completely the whole process of PC operation and online shopping, and then this set of theories and systems was transplanted to the mobile phone platform.

So now look at it, it should be completely feasible to reverse transplant the theory and system of takeaway APP on the mobile phone platform to the PC platform, although it will inevitably be castrated in function and efficiency due to the lack of technical means, but this castration is completely acceptable in the context of this era......

As soon as he thought of this, Li Mu almost immediately decided: Do it! We must do it! Start with the first-tier cities, and gradually cover the fourth- and fifth-tier cities and county seats, so that after two years, the smart phone will begin to emerge, and he can quickly transplant it to the past!
