Chapter 361 Don’t rush to deny, and don’t rush to affirm! 260843 A ray of humanity!
At dawn, a gray halo rises from the horizon in the dark blue sky, the morning light begins to appear, and cold and warm are intertwined.
The wind chimes on the balcony were ringing.
Chen Yansen sat next to the sofa. Outside the window, it was all white and the cold wind was blowing snowflakes swirling all over the sky.
The phone screen remains on the Toutiao interface.
WoWotuan announced the closure of its servers three days in advance. This group buying website, which was established nearly two years ago, failed in the final round of competition.
The 16th navigation satellite of the BeiDou system was launched, completing the networking plan for the entire Asia-Pacific region.
eBay has returned to the Chinese e-commerce market and launched the 'eBayStyle Show' channel in collaboration with Zouxiu.com, focusing on overseas shopping products.
Five days after WeChat Zero Money was launched, its fund size exceeded 3 billion yuan, which once again verified the feasibility of Internet finance after Yu'e Bao.
Chen Yansen glanced at it quickly, thinking about the phone call yesterday evening. Hu Ruihui from the China Science and Technology Association wanted to visit Orange Technology. Most likely, the news of Orange Z1 had already spread.
Huako was the first fish he caught.
Who will be the second one?
Ten minutes later, Chen Yansen came to his senses, stood up to get his laptop, opened the editor, and began to write logistics algorithms based on Yunsu's transportation trunk lines and sorting efficiency.
For Mr. Chen, 22 hours a day is too long, and he always has to find something to do.
At 10 a.m., Alibaba announced through the media that the Cainiao Express Alliance was established on December 28, and its members include Best, Tiantian, SF Express, and Guotong Express.
In the future, it will serve millions of sellers of Yaomiao Mall and Taobao.
Industry insiders generally believe that it will be difficult for the Cainiao Express Alliance to gain popularity, after all, there is the obstacle of the Yunsu Express Alliance.
Cainiao Alliance does not even have its own independently developed electronic waybill system and has to obtain patent authorization from Yunsu. Coupled with the lack of terminal delivery solutions, it is even less of a match.
When Tiantian, SF Express and Guotong joined the Yunsu Express Alliance, they also joined the Cainiao Alliance, which is purely a fence-sitting behavior.
But Ma Liyun didn't care!
His original intention in setting up Cainiao Logistics was to use the chicken to lay eggs, and to first gain access to the data and resources of the express delivery industry.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Yansen left Ye Qiuping's community and took a bus to the Science and Technology Park.
On the way, Xu Minggang from Luzhou Xincheng International called him. While exchanging greetings, he also updated him on the construction progress of Orange Technology’s headquarters.
Chen Yansen responded with a few words and then hung up the phone.
The other side.
Cheng Wei sat in his office in Digital Valley, staring at last week's business data with a slightly dazed look.
Today, Didi Bike has deployed more than 50,000 vehicles in Yanjing, but its daily revenue is just over 10,000 yuan, which is not enough to cover the wages of maintenance personnel, let alone make a profit.
"Chang Wei, this mad dog, why doesn't he go to the southern market to challenge OFO, but has to go toe-to-toe with Didi? He must be mentally ill!"
Cheng Wei sighed and couldn't help but mutter softly.
He heard that OFO has deployed a total of 80,000 shared bicycles in seven cities in East China, with daily revenue exceeding 300,000 yuan. With no competitors at all, it does not have to spend a lot of money on advertising or lose money on marketing, and its market share is skyrocketing. He was really envious.
Cheng Wei continued to look down and saw that the number of products put into use in the three cities of Tianjin, Anci and Tangcheng was 30,000. Since the local market was monopolized by Didi Bike, the daily revenue was stable at 100,000 Huayuan.
In other words, shared bicycles are not a false demand; they actually solve the problem of last-mile travel.
The current problem is that Ofo is tightly holding onto Didi Bike. Although Yanjing is the headquarters of both companies, its profitability is actually not as good as that of the surrounding second- and third-tier cities.
Thinking of this, Cheng Wei took out his mobile phone, found an unfamiliar phone number, hesitated for a moment, and dialed it.
He doesn't want to continue fighting with Chang Wei!
“Beep…beep…beep…”
After about ten seconds, the beep in the receiver suddenly stopped, and then a young male voice came out: "Hello, who is this?"
"I'm Cheng Wei from Didi Bike." Cheng Wei introduced himself.
"Oh? What does Mr. Cheng want to talk to me about? Could it be that Didi Bike can't hold on any longer and wants to admit defeat?" Chang Wei teased with a smile.
In his opinion, Cheng Wei is a waste. Apart from his keen business sense, his operational capabilities are poor. Not only was he crushed by Kuaidi Dache, but he was also kicked out of the management of Didi Dache by Qiandu.
From this we can see that Cheng Wei neither understands business operations nor financial common sense, and does not even know the simplest dual-class share structure. He deserves to be kicked out by Li Yanhong.
"Mr. Chang loves to joke. With Didi Bike's funding and deployment scale, how can the yellow bikes win? I just think that the subsidy of five coupons a day is not beneficial to anyone. In the long run, it will only benefit OFO Bike in the south."
Cheng Wei suppressed his anger and patiently persuaded him.
"Are you teaching me how to do things? If Didi Bike can't afford it, just cancel the subsidies."
Chang Wei snorted coldly and gave Cheng Wei no face at all.
In fact, he understood what Cheng Wei meant, but he didn't want to give up.
At this time, Ofo and Didi Bike were just starting out, and the marketing costs required to suppress their competitors were not high. If they waited until their scale became larger in the future, it would not only be a waste of money, but also double the difficulty.
He wants to nip the threat in the bud!
Never give Cheng Wei the opportunity to become powerful!
"I want to see how long the ofo bikes can last!" Cheng Wei said as they were not on the same page, and ended the call with a "click".
"Song Tianlu, come in!"
Cheng Wei angrily walked to the office door, stuck his head out and shouted at the head of the marketing department.
He wants to completely eliminate all orders for the shared yellow bikes!
"Boss, your orders." Song Tianlu trotted around the desk and came over immediately.
After entering the office, Cheng Wei sat down and looked at Song Tianlu and said, "Have the product modify the subsidy policy for old customers, and increase the 5 coupons per day to 10. In addition, imitate the red envelope function of Kuaidi Taxi, and add a lucky red envelope event on the order completion page to give out cash directly."
10 coupons a day?
Riding a bike for free, and getting cash as a gift? Song Tianlu was slightly startled, feeling that his boss's marketing strategy was a bit cruel.
"The issue of the number of coupons is easy to solve. We can just let the operation adjust the parameters in the background, but the lucky red envelopes need to be developed."
Song Tianlu responded immediately.
"It doesn't matter. Let's adjust the number of cycling coupons issued first, and the red envelope function can be developed slowly." Cheng Wei waved his hand and said.
"Okay, boss. I'll check with Haibo." Song Tianlu nodded, turned and left the office, rushing towards the R&D department's office area.
"Zhuo Mu Niang, having a background is a big deal! Do you really think you can run rampant in the business world just by relying on your family background?"
Cheng Wei cursed.
He admitted that he couldn't do as well as Cheng Weixing, but that didn't mean a business newcomer like Chang Wei could bully him.
If he didn't have any means and abilities, how could he have become the general manager of Zhifubao's B2C division?
That afternoon, Didi bike users in Yanjing area discovered that they had five more coupons in their accounts after being reminded by a pop-up advertisement.
"Hey, these Internet companies are just squandering investors' money all day long. They don't think about making money but just do all these fancy things. How can business be run this way?"
"If you ask me, it was more comfortable in the past, when Kuaidi was competing with Didi, when you went out to buy groceries, you had to get a car to pick you up or drop you off."
"That's right! Although shared bikes are free, riding one in this cold winter is a real torture!"
"The Internet is really fun now. Since we already have shared bicycles, why not share cars and share wives?"
"Hasn't there already been a shared daughter-in-law?"
At the entrance of the alley, a few chattering uncles were playing chess and laughing, showing a noisy expression that all men understand.
"Brothers, if there really is a shared car, would you use it?"
At this time, the middle-aged man standing aside watching the chess game asked.
"Yes! Why not?"
“Use it for free!”
A few middle-aged men playing chess answered nonchalantly.
After hearing this, Wang Fengli seemed to be thinking about something and turned his head to look at the pedestrians riding bicycles passing by on the side of the road.
Driven by Didi Bike and Ofo, shared bicycles have become a fashionable item in Yanjing. You can take out your mobile phone, scan it, ride and stop at will, without spending a penny.
This thing can raise hundreds of millions of dollars and has a valuation of billions?
Wang Fengli smiled and shook his head, and a business plan gradually became clear in his mind.
Wife-sharing is illegal, but isn’t car-sharing just the internet version of car rental? The more Wang Fengli thought about it, the more excited he became. He suddenly felt that he had found a new business track.
At the same time, after learning that Cheng Wei had increased the subsidy, Chang Wei was not to be outdone and changed the number of coupons issued per day to twelve.
However, the coupons for the shared bikes can only be used for 30 minutes of usage, and a deposit of 199 yuan is required.
Therefore, the password table of the shared yellow bikes in QQ groups, WeChat groups, BBS, Renren and Qiandu network disk still has extremely high popularity and popularity.
"Boss, the maintenance staff and the taxi driver are fighting!"
Just as Chang Wei was thinking about the plan to open the city, his subordinate pushed the door open and walked in, quickly reporting.
"Reason?" Chang Wei raised his head and asked calmly.
"The initial guess is that taxi drivers thought the yellow bikes were affecting their business, so they threw our bikes into the river," the subordinate explained slowly.
Damn! These idiots!
Chang Wei lost his composure for a moment, then changed his mind and asked, "Only throw away the yellow bikes?"
"Didi Bike was not spared either," the subordinate added.
"Then what's the good of that?" Chang Wei was furious, and he told his subordinates, "Ask the legal department to go and show firm disapproval. Give these people a profound lesson."
Otherwise, if everyone follows suit, how can he run his company?
"Okay, I'll do it right away." The subordinate nodded in response.
"By the way, let the front-line operation and maintenance personnel count the losses." Chang Wei continued.
But what he didn't expect was that the number reported by the operation and maintenance department was only more than 6,700 vehicles. What about the remaining 1,300 vehicles?
You should know that ofo has deployed a total of 8,000 bicycles in Yanjing.
All in the river?
Or was it that someone removed the mechanical lock and used it as a private car? We must hurry up and replace it with a smart lock! Chang Wei opened his mouth, looking confused, and then secretly made up his mind.
…
…
Hangzhou, Xingchi Technology Headquarters.
"317,000, not bad, enough to buy tens of thousands of new customers for Pinbei Mall."
Wang Zihao curled his lips and laughed at himself.
From spending tens of millions a day to earning more than 300,000 a day, Hao Ge naturally felt a psychological gap.
But his position was promoted from advertising director to COO, and it seemed that he made money again.
"Mr. Wang, OFO bikes cannot be compared with Pinbei Mall. Only by taking over the national market can we achieve our profit goals by relying on economies of scale." Hu Weiyi said with a smile.
She spent several months with Wang Zihao and gradually got to know his temperament and also gained an understanding of Mr. Wang's business capabilities.
Although Wang Zihao is young, he is extremely efficient and calm in his work.
"Once the year-end report is completed, we will immediately open the financing window for OFO. Penguin Capital, Hillhouse Capital and Sequoia Capital are all interested. It will be time for us to expand after the new year."
Wang Zihao hummed and changed the subject.
Didi Bike has completed two rounds of financing, Ofo has completed one round, and only OFO Bike has not yet received financing.
Although Chen Yansen is not short of money, he does not want to invest too much in shared bicycles. Anyway, as long as he ensures the controlling rights, it would be a waste if the venture capital money is not spent.
It’s not some cutting-edge technology, so there’s no need to keep it to yourself.
The right choice is to get more people to share the burden!
It is different for Orange Z1 and Tiangong T100. For projects that can bring him huge returns, Chen Yansen always uses a split strategy to separate them from Orange Technology.
Therefore, although the chip design department where Mike Keller and Wu Shengyu work is in the same office building as the employees of Orange Technology, the entity that signs the labor contracts is not the same company.
Two days later, it’s the last working day of the year.
At 8:15 in the morning, as the December salary arrived, 260,843 more strands of humanitarian fire appeared on Chen Yansen’s system panel.
"Synthesis, add some!"
He was already accustomed to the strengthening process, and after just a few breaths, his physical fitness increased from 64.48 to 90.56, just one step away from breaking through 100.
The skin becomes tougher, the density of muscles and bones increases rapidly, and blood rushes out from the heart and brain, flowing throughout the limbs and bones in an instant.
The energy, blood and strength in his body seemed to be overflowing.
"Huh? What is this?"
Chen Yansen stood in front of a full-length mirror, staring carefully at his eyes. There was a circle of metallic ring-shaped lines on his iris. If his observation skills were not sharp enough, he would not have been able to notice it.
It emits a faint dark golden light.
After trying different methods for a while, I didn't find anything surprising.
Chen Yansen didn't bother to care, as long as his kidneys were strong.
Then he pushed open the gate of the villa, got into the driver's seat of the Bentley Mulsanne, and sped towards the Zhuxianzhuang Science and Technology Park.
at the same time.
Hu Ruihui, along with a dozen R&D engineers from the Loongson team, drove to Xucheng.
"Mr. Hu, I think Orange Technology may disappoint you." A R&D staff member said indifferently.
After all, Orange Technology is just a smartphone assembly company. It may have some technological breakthroughs in the voice interaction engine, but instruction set technology is much more difficult than the former.
"Don't be quick to deny, and don't be quick to affirm." Hu Ruihui said in a flat tone.
