Chapter 184: Modern Bike Launched

Yu Jie smoked all night, and he didn't think about how to go in the future.

To be honest, Lin Jun's ability is indeed very strong, and their plan can be realized so quickly, half of the reason is the 20 million invested by Yunmeng, and half of the reason is that this guy does what he says and does not procrastinate.

Whether it is the courage to talk about hundreds of millions of orders with 20 million, or the means of making several domestic bicycle manufacturers break their heads in terms of price with their virtual and real pie painting skills, he and Zhang Tao can't learn it anyway.

Being able to do a good job in modern bicycle products has exhausted all the energy of their team.

However, there is one question, and the executive who parachuted in from Yunmeng Investment has never answered him directly.

What if the user wants to withdraw the deposit?

What if the manufacturer urges the payment?

What if the bank doesn't cooperate?

If any problem is not handled well, it will be a bomb that may detonate at any time.

He even had a vague premonition in his heart that their project was not only transformed beyond recognition by this guy, but also placed on a tightrope, and if he was not careful, he would be an abyss under his feet.

"It's so exciting."

Extinguishing the cigarette in his hand, Yu Jie, who was sitting in front of the computer, sighed, looking at the sky outside the window that was gradually white, and there was no sleepiness in his heart.

His eyes drifted to the wall clock hanging on the wall of his office.

It's 6:50 a.m.

With 10 minutes left before the morning rush hour of Line 2, the minimum travel interval will be shortened to 5 minutes, when a large number of commuters will flood the subway entrances and exits.

Today is the first day that the Modern Bike APP has been launched in major software markets.

Since three days ago, they have successively delivered modern bicycle products to the preset parking spots.

Will this project be a success......

It's all up to the performance of today's morning rush hour!

Yu Jie clenched his fists, and as a materialist, he prayed so devoutly for the first time.

Don't go wrong......

……

Li Du is a journalist who works for the Changjiang Financial Daily.

Hearing the name of this newspaper alone, most people must be unfamiliar and think that it must be a small newspaper with a small name.

And that's exactly what happened.

In today's Internet era, the sales of traditional paper media can be said to be declining, and the days are getting worse day by day.

However, this does not affect the reporters of these financial newspapers.

After all, the customers they mainly serve are not ordinary people, usually some investment institutions and financial units. No matter how developed the media technology is and how wide the channels for information dissemination are, someone must do the work of in-depth investigation of the industrial chain.

As usual, he bought a bowl of hot dry noodles at the exit of the subway station, and Li Du walked in the direction of the unit while thinking about the manuscript of "Analysis of the Business Status of Lingfeng Real Estate" that he had not finished writing last night.

However, at this time, he suddenly found that the entrance and exit of today's subway station seemed to be a little different from usual?

I saw orange and yellow bicycles parked neatly in the open space less than ten meters away from the subway station.

From time to time, after someone comes out of the subway station, he takes out his mobile phone and walks forward to scan the code, and then only listens to the three long beeps of "Dididi", and the person who scans the code to unlock it successfully rides a bicycle and leaves.

Surprised by this novel scene, Li Du couldn't help but step forward, stopped a middle-aged uncle who was scanning the QR code with his mobile phone, and said in a polite tone.

"This big brother...... What are you sweeping? ”

The middle-aged man gave Li Du a strange look and replied.

"Bike-sharing? Don't you know? ”

"Bike sharing?"

Li Du was slightly stunned.

I remember that when I came out of the subway station, I seemed to have seen this word on a billboard. It's just that he didn't pay much attention to things at work at that time, and now it seems that he is lonely.

Seeing that Li Du didn't know it, the big brother smiled and said.

"Yes, this thing is quite convenient to use, download an APP called Modern Bicycle to scan the code to unlock, and the price is not very expensive, I paid a deposit of 299 to ride for free for three months!"

As soon as he heard this deposit, Li Du suddenly widened his glasses and said with an incredulous expression.

"Deposit 299? You can buy a bike, right? ”

His bike only cost two hundred dollars, and after six years of use, the chain occasionally dropped, and there were basically no major failures. The deposit for renting a car actually needs 299, and he can't see that this car looks like it can be sold for 299.

"That's true, but it's not convenient to buy it yourself. I have to find a railing to lock it, and I can't take it into the subway station, and I can ride the section from home to the subway station, and I'm always worried that I will be deflated by the cheap bear child. It's like this thing, just find a place that doesn't get in the way and stop and it's over, and it has nothing to do with Lao Tzu if it's stolen. ”

As he spoke, the eldest brother smiled embarrassedly and continued.

"Anyway, it's just this situation, I think it's quite convenient anyway. If you're interested in finding out on the Internet yourself, I still have to go to work, so I won't tell you. ”

After saying goodbye, the eldest brother got on the car and left.

Li Du didn't stop him, after all, it's really not good to delay people to work. It's just that he didn't ask any questions, and his curiosity about this shared bicycle is getting stronger and stronger.

"Is this really that good?"

Curious, he put the hot dry noodles into the car basket, opened his mobile phone and downloaded the app of the modern bicycle with the data.

The interface of the APP is very clean, the main page is a map with positioning, you can retrieve nearby modern bicycles, and the plus sign in the upper right corner is the button to scan the code.

Li Du registered an account with his mobile phone number, and soon saw the option to recharge.

At present, the APP of Modern Bicycle provides two levels of deposit to choose from, which correspond to different charging modes.

If you pay a deposit of 99 yuan, you need to buy an additional monthly card, or pay rent at a rate of five cents per half hour. And if you choose the deposit of 299 like the big brother, you will be given a three-month monthly card directly, and you can ride for free within three months, and the only restriction is that the deposit can only be withdrawn after three months.

It is believed that as long as there is a need for subway travel, people will choose the latter.

After all, 299 is not a particularly large number, even students can pay it out, and the deposit can be refunded after three months.

But that being said, if the vast majority of users choose the deposit of 299 yuan, Modern Bicycle is equivalent to giving up three months of profits......

What is the purpose of doing this?

As a financial reporter, Li Du unconsciously brought into the perspective of the operator to think about this problem, but he was puzzled.

At this time, his eyes unconsciously fell on the entrance and exit of the subway station.

I saw that there were people coming and going, and there was an endless stream. Although not everyone came over to scan the code to unlock these little yellow cars, most of them cast curious glances here.

Needless to say, they are all potential customers.

At most, wait and see for a few more days, once it is found that this thing can greatly shorten their commuting time, I believe that at least more than half of them will join the army of those who scan the code to unlock.

At this moment, a piece of data suddenly appeared in Li Du's mind.

It is said that the peak daily average passenger flow of Jiangcheng Metro Line 2 has exceeded one million passengers......

If these people all become Modern Bike customers.

For a moment, Li Du held his breath.

As a financial journalist, he has understood the business model of modern bicycles, and his eyes have become brighter and brighter!

Tall!

Behind this project, there are definitely masters in operation!

Smelling the smell of big news, he didn't care about calculating the kind of deposit that was more cost-effective, so he directly chose the 299 package, got on the car and rushed to the downstairs of the company.

Rushing into the office almost like a run, he threw down the hot dry noodles that were still hot when he came to the editor-in-chief's desk, and looked at his boss excitedly.

"Editor-in-Chief Wu! Big news! ”

Taken aback by Xiao Li's expression, Editor-in-Chief Wu, who was sitting behind the desk, was slightly stunned at first, and then coughed lightly and said.

"You calm down first and speak slowly if you have something to say...... What the hell is the discovery that surprises you like this. ”

"Bike sharing!" With his hands propped up on the table, Li Du said excitedly, "I have a report now, although it is still in my head, but I have already figured out how to write it...... I'd like to request you a look at tomorrow's headline panel! This discovery definitely deserves a headline position more than those gossip about Lingfeng Real Estate! ”

"Bike sharing?" Pushing the glasses on the bridge of his nose, the editor-in-chief Wu Xun looked at the best reporters under him with a stunned expression, and said suspiciously, "I seem to have seen this thing in the circle of friends...... But does this have anything to do with our financial panel? ”

The report of the Financial Daily should naturally be financial news, and this shared bicycle should be placed in the basket of social news, which does not match the painting style of the Yangtze River Financial Daily.

Even if the project is really promising, if it must be reported, why wait until the project gets Series C or even D round of financing, right?

If their report was written, it would have been embarrassing if the modern bicycle had gone yellow in less than two days.

It's not unheard of that this kind of thing happening.

After all, no matter how good the entrepreneurial idea is, if it is not managed properly, it is possible to hit the street.

"Absolutely! Behind this bicycle is not just a bicycle, it is no exaggeration to say that there may even be a blue ocean market with a market value of 10 billion yuan," Li Du said excitedly, "I even dare to assert that it will become the hottest concept next year!" ”

"The whole financial circle is going crazy because of these bikes!"
