Chapter 080: TBB
There are many benefits of becoming an innovative star enterprise, and the most important thing is that there is no shortage of eyeballs, and every move of the royal enterprise will be focused on by the media. Wang's next project is the long-planned "electronic stop sign", and his team has produced usable software for bus license plate and line number recognition.
They have built a demonstration line on the most prosperous bus line in the city, with a total of 30 stop signs, and users who want to experience it can go to this well-known station to see the scene, because after a period of operation, the average time error is only one or two minutes, which is very convenient for commuters who take the bus.
At the same time, there is also a crowdfunding financing plan, that is, the previous plan of "as long as 580, no festive advertising revenue to carry home". A city with a population of 10 million needs 10,000 stations is not too exaggerated, if it is handed over to a full-time employee to maintain, a month is only a day to take care of 333 stations, with 0.6 kilometers as the average distance between the two stations, he needs to run about 200 kilometers a day, 8 hours a day, then 25 kilometers per hour, a three-jumper is enough.
However, this is the staff that the city needs, and it is not yet an emergency. As an organization aspiring to become a super light company, Wang Zhan hoped to contract the creation and maintenance of these nodes to office workers living nearby, so that they could indiscriminately cover the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th tier cities.
With the unparalleled airdrop technology of Shangqilang Technology, the availability rate of electronic stop boards throughout the country will be surprisingly high.
The only thing Wang Zhan didn't expect was that the cost of manufacturing nodes was relatively high, almost close to 500 yuan, and if he relied on this 580 alone, he really couldn't make any money. This is due to the need for strong WIFI communication capabilities, resulting in higher costs. With such a huge network, if there is no direct connection of WIFI signals between nodes, how much wireless communication cost will be required?
What if there is no internet entrance with WIFI? Boss Wang, who is a chicken thief, thought of a trick - let users contribute to the Internet, the advantage is how much traffic you provide to the network, and how much free wireless traffic you can get when you go out.
To do this, he specially customized a router that enters the node. There are many router innovation companies now, and Boss Wang's product may be the most ruthless, which can directly convert broadband traffic into wireless traffic, while the broadband of ordinary users is unlimited, which is equivalent to Boss Wang's use of almost equal to zero cost to create a WIFI network covering the whole city.
The router is priced at 280 yuan, also because it requires a strong WIFI signal, which will not be the cheapest one. The product will be rolled out to users who have contracted at least one node. There is still a certain amount of profit margin in these 280 years, of course, this is not the point.
Damn, can you still play like this? People in the entrepreneurial industry are shocked, so it is possible for this surnamed Wang to build a nationwide WIFI network in a short period of time? This also ...... It's too much, right? The state is in charge of it, and someone is going to heaven.
Boss Wang no longer needs a special crowdfunding platform, and the hundreds of thousands of users he has accumulated by himself are enough to detonate the circle of friends, because there are still benefits to sending invitation codes. In short, the first day of crowdfunding blew up, all nodes in the hot city were robbed, and about 9 million cash fell into Boss Wang's bag (including the router).
The "Electronic Stop Board" company, which had hoarded 100,000 complete sets of equipment, began to distribute and install equipment to part-time users the next day, and the WIFI in the hot city was in full swing.
The street lamp flags in Recheng were erected one by one, almost all of which were advertisements promoting the electronic stop signs themselves, so that the citizens of Recheng knew that there was such a good thing overnight.
Some technology media have praised the combination of electronic stop board + city WIFI as "one of the most innovative products of the year".
Another said: "Now I don't take the subway to work, because I can use the bus for free." ”
A user commented: "I have never seen such a good product, from the first day of opening the pass, the forecast of the arrival time is almost no minute error, it really makes the friends waiting for the car feel at ease!" ”
A leader of the Recheng Transportation Bureau sent a pennant to TBB (TheBigBand, an electronic stop board operating company) with the words: Electronic stop signs, benefit the country and the people.
TBB's director of operations took the pennant in front of the camera and hypocritically said, "This is what we should do!" We should also thank the thousands of netizens who are willing to contribute to crowdfunding, they are good! ”
Although it is very hypocritical, the teenagers and girls who participated in the crowdfunding feel warm in their hearts.
Then, the factory in charge of OEM turned on the equipment at full capacity, and a whirlwind of electronic stop signs that swept the country was like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves, which caught people off guard.
To be honest, it is quite difficult to get the permission of the relevant municipal departments, thanks to the abundant funds of Boss Wang, in order to lay the national WIFI network in the fastest time to form an unbreakable first-mover advantage, he is also open, throwing a lot of money, and half of the funds come from the magnates of various cities, and they can share the advertising revenue of the local branch in order to happily expand business.
The network is beginning to take shape, but TBB's book finance is not good-looking, and the public relations costs are too expensive.
This system has two cores, one is the shuttle bus route number recognition, the other is the large-scale WIFI signal interconnection, before the capital market has reacted, Wang Bang will build the network to seven, eight or eight, you know, China's TMT market competition is fierce, is rare in the world.
If there is capital to enter this market, no matter how much money is spent, there must be half a year of research and development time, and at that time, TBB has already been in the dust.
Besides, when negotiating with the municipal management unit or the contractor of the street lamp flag, Wang Fang's business representative will try his best to let the other party sign an exclusive agreement, if a considerable part of the street lamp flag has been packaged, then the opponent will not be able to enter.
Whether it is the global investment promotion of Qilang Technology or the national investment promotion of TBB, Wang Fang's business is thriving, the whole Qiu family has no temper, when a person is rising strongly, it is best for the opponent to avoid its edge, anyway, Qiu Gongzi is hiding at home and drinking. He instigated a few hooligans to smash more than a dozen nodes, and within a few days, several hooligans were broken doglegs, and they still couldn't find the murderer who beat people.
Qiu Gongzi should know that Wang Zhan's black hand network is particularly stronger than him, there is a hooligan who has evaporated in the world, he guesses that he is probably dead, Wang Fang is no longer an ordinary person, even if his Qiu family can call the wind and rain to scatter beans into soldiers in Hot City, don't forget that the rabbit is in a hurry and bites, Lao Wang's untraceable black hand has the potential to bite people at any time.
His sister, Miss Begonia, watched from a distance as Wang Fang was surrounded by a group of employees, talking and laughing, and the spring breeze was proud.
Wang Bang also found Begonia's gaze, he dismissed the people around him, walked up to the eldest lady, and said with a smile: "What's wrong?" Worried. By the way, how are your weird shoes designed? ”
Begonia: "Mr. Wang is so forgetful, I can't imagine that you still remember the strange shoes of your little sister, it's not easy." ”
Wang Fang: "Mosquito meat is also meat, my family is rural, and I have only recently become an upstart, and I have lived a lot of hard lives in the past." Unlike you, you look like a lady from a rich family. ”
Begonia glanced at him: "Hmph, the rich and noble family is the name of a song hall, right?" ”
Wang Bang laughed: "Oops, my rotten has been recognized." ”
Begonia: "Do you know my identity?" ”
Wang Zhan: "What? What identity? Do you still have a strange identity? ”
Begonia: "Don't pretend, at first you still liked to drink the coffee I brewed, but now you ignore me, is there something else hidden?" Did Charlotte tell you? ”
Wang Fang smiled and said: "You are you, your brother is your brother, I am clear, you don't have to be sad." ”
Begonia: "It's better to be like this!" I know you're fighting in the dark, and you're still in the ascendancy, because my brother has been saying bad things about Charlotte lately, and that's how he fails.
Oh, I haven't answered your question yet, my weird shoes have to be linked to the washing machine to sell, so I'm now helping the washing machine team to promote their products, which can be sold to places that need a large number of people to live together, what hotels, student dormitories, share houses, our salesman has been sent out, it seems to be ...... It's still possible. Like you said, mosquito meat is also meat. ”
Wang Zhan: "Hmm...... It's not a problem to always have mosquito meat, and now your biggest problem may be that many users have bought washing machines, eh, you can consider it, don't sell the whole machine, you can transform the washing machine that others already have, right? In this way, everyone knows that there is this product, and the next time they want to change the phone, they will think of using our brand, and it is also good to advertise. ”
Begonia said happily: "It is worthy of Boss Wang, Men'er Qing!" I'll tell them right away! ”
Wang Fang: "By the way, what brand is your washing machine called?" I'm too busy to know. ”
Begonia: "Hee-hee! ”
Wang Bang squirted: "Damn! Who gave this to you? I don't want to sell it yet. ”
Begonia: "Isn't it good?" We all discussed it, and it felt catchy and festive! ”
Wang Zhan: "This band has fallen into a plagiarism whirlpool, which may have a negative impact on the reputation of the brand, or it is better to change it." ”
Begonia: "You are the boss, you can change it if you want to." ”
Wang Zhan: "Really? Am I the boss? In fact, I can't remember how many shares I own, what else do you have to do with washing machines these days? ”
Begonia said angrily: "You still have 30% of the shares, and you are still the largest shareholder." Look at your memory. Ahem, I see your gray hair, you're old. ”
Wang Fang touched his head: "Oh, it's already here, I should dye my hair." ”
