One month later.

In early March 2009, the three young men handed over the items to them. Combined with the newly developed APP, there was no lag whatsoever, and it could be used directly after scanning.

Of course, since the product hasn't been mass-produced yet, this new feature hasn't been added.

Moreover, this app was previously related to food, so the tentative name was "Auspicious Food Arrives," but if this feature is added, this name will no longer be appropriate.

After all, travel and food are completely unrelated.

After thinking about it for several days, Lin Wei approached Lin Yuan and said, "I want to change the name. Please give me an announcement in advance so I can prepare for the update."

"Oh, what's your name?" Lin Yuan asked.

“I have it.”

It has this, it has that, it has everything.

"Do you have it?"

After thinking about it, it really is a good fit.

"Okay, but the names are quite different. It's definitely better to announce it earlier and reserve the name so that someone else won't use it."

"Hmm, you can help me with that, or write a new app and then merge the old one with it, or maybe when the time comes, you can just discard the old one," Lin Wei asked.

This kind of situation did occur in later generations, but most of the time it was just about updating, and the name wasn't changed casually.

"Anyway, I'll get it out first. Whether it's an update or a re-download later, it's still the same stuff."

Following the molds designed by Lin Yuan and his two companions, mass production was carried out and the vehicles were installed on the newly produced single-person electric scooters. The advertisements were then launched, and the apps were all updated to Douyou.

Three days later, on the evening of the same day, a large fleet of vehicles set off and deployed electric vehicles to various temporary designated areas.

Lin Wei is very law-abiding. Every vehicle is equipped with a helmet, and whether or not people wear them is not her concern; she simply provides them.

The hat and the car share the same code and are equipped with the same chip. If the hat and the car are separated by a distance of 2 meters, the alarms on both the hat and the car will sound simultaneously, and will automatically go silent once the hat is returned.

To Lin Wei's surprise, the launch of shared electric scooters also spurred the development of smartphones.

This function cannot be used without a smartphone.

In no time, everyone downloaded the Douyou APP, and younger people spent countless amounts of money on it.

Why?

In this era of open and transparent internet, any information is readily available, and everyone knows that this project is backed by a large company.

Do I need to deposit money?

Another 199?

It's okay, how could such a big company collapse?

Anyway, you can get a refund after six months, right?

You can use it as usual from now on.

Moreover, the app has so many features that once you start using it, you can't stop.

It received widespread acclaim almost immediately upon its release.

It was only on the market in Jiangcheng for three days, but it was launched in surrounding cities and major first-tier cities one after another. At the same time, the Douli APP was always number one on the software download chart.

"Not bad, really not bad."

Especially as the amount of money invested increases, the initial investment is almost entirely recovered at a very fast pace.

"My goodness, Vivi, you're just too... amazing."

Wang Ying's phone was practically ringing off the hook.

When new software is launched, they are the ones who seek partners. But once the software is known to everyone, others will actively seek them out for collaboration.

In particular, they offer a wide range of services, each of which is thoughtfully marked, and they even add a welcome message for new merchants.

Who wouldn't want that?

"Yes, I'm willing, but I'm too busy. I can't handle it all. Weiwei, aren't you being too exploitative?"

“You are also part of the company, and you are also a shareholder of the group. What’s wrong with working a little harder for your own things? You’re not working for someone else; it’s all for your own company.”

“But I only get a small share, you get the big share. I have to do all the work. Of course, it’s not that I don’t want to do it, it’s just that I’m too busy.”

"If you're too busy, hire people. Talking to me won't help. Do you expect me to help you? I have other things to develop."

The next thing to happen was the bicycle.

However, all of this is still a long way off.

But just when everyone was relieved that the idea was being accepted by the public, a number of unexpected events occurred.

First, many cars disappeared. When they went to look for them based on their location, they found that the cars had been thrown into the water.

It really took a lot of effort.

The next time, the car disappeared, but the lock had been broken, and someone wanted to take it for themselves.

However, his car was equipped with an alarm system that would go off in a frenzy if the lock was broken.

The family has run away, but we can't just leave the car there; leaving it there would be disturbing the peace.

There was nothing Lin Wei could do about it; what could she do if someone wanted to cause trouble?

But it doesn't really matter, because these losses are all within the scope of their original losses.

“We had already conducted an assessment, and we knew that someone would do these things, and we even anticipated something more outrageous. Fortunately, the current risks are less than half of what we were worried about before, which is within our risk estimates. The losses are also within our risk estimates, so there is no need for everyone to worry.”

Just a few days after those words were spoken, a child who stole a bicycle fell and was injured, and sued them in court.

For a time, I witnessed a particularly severe polarization in my life.

On the one hand, it is indeed convenient, cheap and easy to use, and a good idea that benefits the people.

On the one hand, without any management, children will indeed use it to ride around recklessly. Breaking their hands is the least of their worries; if they don't notice the cars on the road, they will end up in a much worse situation.

However, Lin Wei's lawyers were not to be underestimated.

"First of all, the idea of ​​designing a QR code is to keep children out of the user's reach."

In 2009, very few children owned smartphones, let alone children who could go out for bike rides.

If there's no cell phone, how did the car start?

After the video was provided, everyone discovered this.

The accident was caused by the child's mother opening the car and letting the child ride out alone.

"After our software scans the device, the first thing that appears is a safety warning, which not only prohibits children from riding alone, but also prohibits carrying passengers on a single-person electric scooter."

As expected, they did win the case.

However, out of humanitarian considerations, since the child did fall in their car, they compensated the other party with 3,000 yuan for medical expenses.

The child's mother disagreed.

“I will appeal. You are afraid of those in power and deliberately favoring the other side. I will not accept this.”

“Even if you appeal, it has nothing to do with this,” said the lawyer representing the child’s mother.

But the child's mother wouldn't listen. "You're from their area too. My child is still in the hospital. He injured his right hand. If it affects his writing, he'll regret it for the rest of his life."

"If that's the case, why did you unlock the bike and let your daughter ride it herself? In the video, your daughter probably didn't want to."
