"So Mr. Xi, I'm curious, why did you tell me about the bicycle in the first place, even though I was here to interview you, but you took me to the shared bicycle, so that it changed my future destiny. ”

Xi Ming's head was stunned, this woman was really terrible, she was too excited to see her, and she took everything out of her heart, and now she actually questioned herself in turn.

Cold sweat broke out on his back.

It seems that you should pay attention to it in the future, otherwise something will go wrong.

"I just said casually, I just happened to see that you have a temperament in you, which makes me want to invest in your temperament. ”

"Well, that seems pretty good. It makes me instantly charming, hahaha......"

The cold sweat on Xi Ming's back came to an abrupt end this time.

There are always many crossroads in life, to the east, to the west, to the south or to the north, facing the problem of choice, as long as you take a step in either direction, the trajectory of life will change completely.

Hu Yiwei was at the intersection of opportunities, and she made her choice without hesitation.

Hu Yiwei posted his resignation in the circle of friends and said that he would be a sharing bicycle company.

She was questioned by everyone, can a young female journalist really lead the company to do this?

She replied to her friends in the circle of friends: I may be a more axial person, I will take the initiative to reject all those who tell me that they are unreliable, you say you can't do it, I can't prove it now, then I, I will finally make it to everyone to see.

The next day, Xi Ming and Hu Yiwei registered a Xiongbai Little Hornet bicycle sharing company together.

The registered capital is 2 million, all of which are funded by Xi Ming, Hu Yiwei is responsible for the operation, she accounts for 20% of the shares, and Xi Ming accounts for 80% of the shares, and has the right to suggest to the company, not responsible for the specific operation.

She Hu Yiwei announced the news of the establishment of the company.

Hu Yiwei's friends in the circle know that Hu Yiwei is determined to make a sharing bicycle.

Journalists are well-informed and have a huge network of contacts.

Hu Yiwei posted in the circle of friends looking for bicycle designers, smart password experts, and app software developers......

Peers still recommend these top industry talents they know to Hu Yiwei.

Hu Yiwei finally succeeded in convincing these to become the pioneers of bike sharing, and they would be pioneers, which was a passionate career for them.

The bikes you know, such as 28-bar bikes, mountain bikes, princess bikes or folding bikes, all have stable structures, hand rattles, chains, spring seats, pneumatic tires, fenders and locks. Shared bicycles should not still be in this image, Hu Yiwei believes that it is necessary to design and create a bicycle with a strong sense of science and technology.

Wang Chaoren is a designer of automobiles, once the shared bicycle is put in, there must be a large number, the use rate is high, the riders are of different shapes, wear and tear, once damaged, the maintenance cost is extremely high, in the design of the transmission mechanism, the traditional use of the chain is a place that is prone to problems.

At the discussion meeting that day, the young boss Xi Zong and President Hu Yiwei both wanted to use bicycles without chains, he was a designer of automobiles, and he chose to use a new transmission mechanism, that is, no chain shaft movement, in the automotive field, there are many such transmission methods, and shaft transmission is used in every car.

After thirty days and nights of overtime, Wang Superman succeeded.

They applied for a patent for the sharing bicycle of the little bumblebee, and the principle of the transmission device of "two-wheeled vehicle and transmission system of bevel gear-drive rod transmission mode" is simply put: single swing arm, shaft transmission. When stepping on the pedal, it will drive the installation shaft system to rotate, after the bevel gear transmission on the shaft system, the shaft will be driven to rotate, and the shaft will be driven to rotate by the installation shaft system connecting the rear wheel through the bevel gear, and the rear wheel will go forward.

From the outside, this is a completely closed system, and the user has no way of knowing the structure inside, which Wang Chaoren says will ensure that the gears will not rust for 4 or even 10 years.

This generator is used to power the bike's smart lock, so that it can be charged at all times.

The smart lock can realize a series of functions such as location reporting, guiding car finding, intelligent unlocking, and automatic end of padlock, so as to ensure that the shared bicycle is stored "without piles", which is the core component of the shared bicycle, and it is also the biggest feature that distinguishes it from the previous urban public bicycle.

When designing, they chose solid tires, which were still designed to be maintenance-free. Although pneumatic tires are comfortable and have low rolling resistance, they will increase the difficulty of later maintenance if they are punctured and deformed, so they give up some of the advantages of pneumatic tires and choose solid tires.

Aside from the tires, the wheels of the bike are not quite the same – instead of dense spokes, they have five-spoke wheels. The disadvantage of spokes is that different spokes can cause deformation of the tire if they are not tightened consistently. "Die-cast aluminum wheels were originally used in the automotive field, and in bicycles, it has become a model of extreme standardization, and I don't worry about whether the wheels can be installed on this car, because there are millions of cars, and they need to be super standardized. Just like when you shoot a gun on the battlefield, you can't pick bullets, you have to make sure that every bullet can be fired seamlessly, and the accuracy is guaranteed. ”

Wang Chao has calculated that it will take at least 20 minutes for a skilled master to change a wheel with a chain, which is a disaster for shared bicycles. The wheels of a bicycle use the structure of automobile wheels, and the removal of the wheels has nothing to do with the transmission system, just like changing the spare tire of a car, which is simple and fast.

Of course, there is also the difference in the bell, ordinary bicycles use hand bells, and now bicycles use rotary bells. In fact, such bells have always existed, but few people use them. Why? In Wang Chaoren's view, it's due to habit. "The bicycle industry in the past one or two hundred years is too mature, and they feel that they may not be able to do it. However, the hand bell is easy to break, and secondly, for the shared bicycle, it is necessary to minimize the protrusion to prevent injury after falling, so he chose to use the rotary bell.

Xi Ming looked at the products made, but he was not satisfied.

It's too heavy, it weighs up to 25 kg!

In the future. Xi Ming knew that after the Mobike generation was introduced to the market, people's common experience was that it was difficult and difficult to ride. In fact, this is not because of the shaft drive, but because there is a generator in the rear wheels, and pedaling forward, in addition to moving forward, it is also necessary to convert energy into electrical energy, so it is laborious.

However, Mobike's final "Wind Clearing" model is an improvement on the classic generation - the motor has become smaller, and the efficiency of the shaft drive power system has been greatly improved, so that the riding is more than 30% less effort than the previous generation. That is what Xi Ming wants, so Xi Ming said his thoughts, and Wang Chaoren finally succeeded after half a month of improvement day and night!

It's not just the bike itself that's changed.

If you want to use a shared bicycle, open the mobile APP, register, recharge, find the car, scan the code, and unlock the lock, which is a procedure that must be experienced.

Xi Ming and Hu Yiwei finally described people riding shared bicycles as "a combination of digital travel experience and physical experience", which actually emphasizes that the experience on the app and the experience of riding a bicycle in reality are an inseparable part. "Today, the digitization is gradually swallowing up the physical thing, and it will carry more meaning than you can see. ”

At this time, the use of APP has become an indispensable part of people's cycling. In Ximing's view, "the APP that others see is an interface, which actually compresses countless data and standardized processes into a carrier that can be perceived by users." Each application carries all its business flows. ”

What if someone books a bicycle and doesn't go for a long time, how to guide the user to ride a bicycle in a remote corner that has not been used for a long time? These are all data that need to be entered in the background. In the design stage, the R&D team considered how to make users become communicators and maintainers, and optimized functions such as real-name authentication, returning cars to take pictures, and fault reporting, as well as converting distance into time, which not only allowed users to perceive, but also made the design more optimized within the user's tolerance, and even designed many possibilities in the process of use, and found corresponding solutions.

But just because the backstage is complicated doesn't mean it has to be visible. "Ordinary bikes only need keys, and if we can simplify the operation on the mobile phone into one step, which is equivalent to traditional unlocking, and leave the rest to the system to complete, then compared to the use of ordinary bikes, we don't have any burden on cycling because of the new form of Mobike. "It's the best design that the designers think needs to be achieved.

After two months of fierce battles, Hu Yiwei and these top designers finally manufactured the product.

Hu Yiwei went to Yanjing Innovation Factory non-stop with the company's products and business plans, and she wanted to meet Mr. Li Kaifu.

Next is an investment of more than one billion, Ximing doesn't have so much money now, and Hu Yiwei is responsible for financing.

Although Xi Ming knew that Hu Yiwei would succeed, he was still a little apprehensive, after all, his little butterfly would not affect the trajectory of history, he was not completely sure!
