Chapter 1166: Riding for a Ride
The next day, Boss Jia and Wang Chuanfu ran out for a ride together, but instead of driving, they rode their environmentally friendly motorcycles.
"You've been in the United States for so long, have you ever ridden our own car on the streets?" While riding, Boss Jia asked Wang Chuanfu beside him.
"......No," Wang Chuanfu said ashamedly, and then added, "I'm too busy with work to have time for a ride."
"So your car won't sell!" Boss Jia snorted coldly, "As a seller, you must know the buyer's mentality and know what the buyer's pain points are." You don't even know the needs of users in the United States, how can you sell the car? ”
"Yes!" Wang Chuanfu said obediently, and then the two of them have been driving on the road.
Because of the speed of the eco-friendly motorcycle, the speed of the two people is not too fast, and they walk slowly on the road, and they can see the surrounding street scenery while walking.
Wang Chuanfu has been in New York for a few months, and it is the first time that he has enjoyed the scenery of a large city in another country in such detail, which can be regarded as a unique feature, and it also makes the mood a lot better.
However, after riding for more than 30 minutes, Wang Chuanfu felt a little bored, and at the same time, he did not feel anything to inspire him from the drive.
"This ride is useless...... Wang Chuanfu muttered quietly.
"What, you don't think it's useful to go out for a ride?" Unexpectedly, this voice followed the wind and reached Boss Jia's ears, who asked unceremoniously.
"Nope! Absolutely nothing! Wang Chuanfu immediately denied it.
"Aren't you noticing the faces of the passengers around us looking at us?" Boss Jia said with some hatred.
But in fact, Wang Chuanfu has already noticed this, after all, when the pedestrians around him are looking at the two of them with a strange gaze, it is impossible for Wang Chuanfu not to feel these gazes.
It's just that this look is weird, Wang Chuanfu never thought about selling cars, until Boss Jia reminded him, he suddenly realized, "Chairman, you mean, our car is too weird, and the United States is unwilling to buy it?" ”
"I don't know!" Boss Jia shook his head, and then a brake stopped directly, and then smiled, "However, we can ask them!" ”
So, Boss Jia pushed the car and walked to a middle-aged man who was looking at them with strange eyes, and then asked with a smile, "Is our car very ridiculous?" ”
"Nope! No! The middle-aged man was taken aback, and then immediately denied it.
"It's okay, we're doing product research, it's a new product of our company, and we want to collect everyone's opinions and opinions. I just saw that you have been staring at our car, so I came to ask, I hope you can help us! Boss Jia said with a smile.
"That's it!" Hearing that the other party took the initiative to collect opinions, the middle-aged man immediately put down some false courtesy, and said with a smile, "Actually, I just wanted to see if their car was moving by itself, obviously you don't have pedals, but you can't hear the sound of the engine!" ”
"That's right, this is our latest eco-friendly motorcycle, powered by an electric motor! Completely pollution-free, it is the most environmentally friendly means of transportation! Boss Jia explained.
"I see, I said, why is this car so weird, it doesn't look like a bicycle, it's not a motorcycle!" The middle-aged man sighed.
"Oh, would you be willing to buy such an eco-friendly motorcycle?" Boss Jia asked again.
"No, what am I buying it for? I am an office worker, I commute to work every day, sometimes I drive, sometimes I take the subway, it is useless to ask him! "Middle-aged humane.
"This is much better than a car, there are many traffic jams in New York, with this, you can walk through at will, don't worry about traffic jams!" Wang Chuanfu on the side couldn't help but say, "And the speed is much faster than the subway, you can ride on the road when you go out, which is very convenient."
"Yes!" The middle-aged man nodded, but shook his head again and said, "But the question is, where does this car park after I go to work?" ”
"Of course it's ......," Wang Chuanfu's words were half stuck in his throat and couldn't speak.
Yes, the electric bicycle looks much smaller than the car, and it seems to be very good to park, but in fact, in the United States, especially in some big cities, you can't stop at all when you go to work.
First of all, in a big city like New York, the vast majority of office workers work in office buildings.
Of course, you can't park on the street outside the office building, otherwise the traffic police will directly tow you away.
In the parking lot of the office building, there is only a car parked, and it is not convenient to park an electric bicycle, and there is a risk of being troubled by the administrator.
All in all, it's not a simple task to stop an e-bike, or an eco-friendly motorcycle, in New York.
"Also, since your car uses electricity, how big is the battery and how long can it last?" The other party said, "Also, how should I charge it?" ”
"Our electric vehicles are equipped with the latest technology and can support a distance of 30 kilometers. As for charging, just plug it in and the socket will work! Wang Chuanfu said proudly.
"30 kilometers is too little, from where I live to the company I work for, a round trip is about 25 kilometers, if there is something wrong in the middle, or there is a detour, will my car run out of power?"
"Also, the problem of charging is also very troublesome, and I can't just plug it into an outlet and charge it. I live in an apartment, the caretaker is staring at the door like a wolf, and my car can't be brought into the room, so I won't be able to charge it! As the other party spoke, he shook his head and said, "Your idea is good and environmentally friendly, but it's really not practical!" ”
The other party shook his head and walked away slowly.
"How? Any idea what's wrong? Boss Jia asked.
"I know, but the problem of power, unless there is a breakthrough in battery technology, it is difficult to increase the battery with the current volume. As for the charging ......, "Wang Chuanfu scratched his head" We are developing a design that can simply take out the battery, we may be able to separate the battery from the electric bicycle, and only take the battery home when we want to charge. ”
"But the weight of the battery is a bit heavy, and it seems to be a little troublesome to take the battery up and down the stairs every day...... Wang Chuanfu scratched his head, otherwise he suddenly realized, "No, our target customers are not office workers, but people who are usually used to riding bicycles or motorcycles, and they are our target customers!" ”
"You just run away from the problem!" Boss Jia glanced at Wang Chuanfu angrily, and then at this time, a person on a bicycle passed by, saw Boss Jia and Wang Chuanfu parked on the side of the road, and asked curiously, "Friend, what kind of car are you?" ”
"It's an e-bike!" Wang Chuanfu's eyes rolled, and the name of the environmentally friendly motorcycle was changed to an electric bicycle, and he said with a smile, "This friend, our electric bicycle is completely driven by electricity, and it is very convenient to ride. ”
"Not interested!" The other party shook his head, and then rode away directly on his bike.
"Why?" Wang Chuanfu followed behind and asked.
"I ride a bike for fitness, your bike can walk on its own, what kind of body am I still doing!" The other party said angrily, leaving Wang Chuanfu with a confused face.
