"I asked some classmates and found out that the bicycles they bought were all from the same brand called dane. The literal translation in English probably means flying in the air. However, some young people who bought them preferred the literal translation in pinyin, with the single e, bicycle becomes
Flat tongue, does it have a bit of a Minnan accent?"
"Bicycles, bicycles, seem to be really good!"
Everyone tried it, and it really sounded like the southern Fujian accent. Novel .
"This brand of bicycles has become very popular among young people recently. The colorful colors also symbolize the young and unrestrained heart. Especially some high school students and college students feel that the bicycles are very fashionable from the brand name to the style, but the main reason is...
…price!"
Chen Xiao had a solemn expression. He got a few Dane Bicycle product brochures from somewhere and handed them to everyone present. If there were not enough, everyone passed them around to read.
“Such a beautiful and fashionable bicycle only costs 99 yuan?”
"What? 99 yuan? A bicycle? Impossible!"
"If you look at the flyer, it really only costs 99 yuan, and it also comes with a 20-yuan voucher for Longmart Supermarket!"
"Well, isn't that equivalent to buying a brand new bicycle for 79 yuan?"
Shen Dapeng also frowned, but it was not because of the low-priced bicycles, but because he heard the name of 'Longmart Supermarket'.
You must know that this is the property of Huang Bin and his family. Dane Bicycle gave away Longmart supermarket vouchers for publicity. Could it be that Huang Bin was involved in this?
Everyone was passing the flyers aside, all speaking in disbelief. Everyone here is one of the shareholders of Zhangpeng Bicycle, and they are all people who made initial contributions to the bicycle project. They are basically involved in recycling scrap parts and assembling bicycles.
The whole process, so they know best the cost of a bicycle.
Take the 100 shared bicycles invested in the first phase as an example. The early purchase of various discarded parts is a large sum of money. If you include the later painting, decoration, and labor, the average cost is about 50 yuan per bicycle.
.
The popular bicycles on the market now are all made by small factories starting at 200 yuan. You can buy a relatively good one for more than 300 yuan, and you can buy a brand new and fashionable bicycle for 99 yuan. It does feel a bit unrealistic.
Not to mention that it also comes with a 20 yuan supermarket voucher, which is equivalent to 79 yuan for a brand new bicycle?
"No matter how cheap the parts are for a bicycle, there are still workers' wages to follow. If it can be sold at such a price, it is either because the manufacturer intends to advertise at a low price, or it is a low-quality product. But no matter what the reason is, I guess
It will have a big impact on the usage rate of our shared bicycles."
Li Shen is from the Mechanical College. Assembling a bicycle seems simple. In fact, if you are not a skilled worker, it is time-consuming and laborious, and the quality may not be up to standard. It is difficult to hire workers in the factory now, and the wages of skilled workers are even higher.
It’s not cheap, so in his opinion, if manufacturers use this way to promote, it will be a waste of money.
"Senior Li Shen, I happened to pass by Longmart Supermarket two days ago and bought a Dane bicycle. Do you want to take a look?"
Chen Xiao's words stunned everyone again, especially Cao Zhang and Shen Dapeng. They looked at each other almost at the same time, and then looked at Chen Xiao seriously.
Chen Xiao walked to the door calmly, picked up a Dane's colorful bicycle in the corner with one hand, and carried it into the house with almost no effort.
Li Shen stood up from the chair, strode to the front of Dane's bicycle, and started playing with the chain, wheels, and bearings without being too dirty. Then he hit the ground a few times with the handlebars, looked up at Chen Xiao, and said meaningfully
Xiaoxiao, "Did you ride this car?"
"No ride!"
Chen Xiao shook his head indifferently, "I pushed it here!"
"You are quite smart!"
Li Shen kicked Dane's bicycle in disgust, "With the quality of this poor bicycle, the load must be limited, and the requirements on the road surface will also be very high. If you want to run wildly on the uneven dirt road, you are asking for trouble."
If he eats it and doesn't fall to death, he will be lucky."
"If all Dane bicycles are produced with the lowest quality materials and ordinary labor, it may be possible to achieve the lowest cost and still make money at 99 yuan, but I don't understand why there are people with such bicycles.
Buy? Are you so short of money?"
"Not everyone is as short of money as you are!"
Cao Zhang smiled and patted Li Shen on the shoulder. After Li Shen stepped aside, he asked Chen Xiaoxiao, "How did you come up with the idea of studying dane bicycles?"
"It's just boring. Senior Li Shen has nothing to do anyway. Find something for him to do!"
Chen Xiao leaned the bicycle next to him and looked at Li Shen, "Senior, I have to trouble you to dismantle all these things. Don't look at me like that. I will help you and learn some mechanical knowledge by the way."
"That's pretty much it!"
Li Shen is similar to most of the people here. They don't like Chen Xiao who seems to have a somewhat arrogant personality, but this guy's performance today amazed him!
Not only do I have the courage to negotiate with the canteen about the ‘handling fee’, but I can now research Dane bicycles in advance to nip problems in the bud.
Lu Ming sat in front of the computer without moving, staring at the Dane bicycle in a daze. After a long time, he pushed the mouse to the side. "Such a cheap and beautiful bicycle is completely in line with the public's taste. Will it have any impact on shared bicycles? Like
As Chen Xiao said, there are already a lot of Dane bicycles on campus now, I’m afraid..."
"Hey, Shen Dapeng, Shen Dapeng, come out quickly and take a look!"
Halfway through Lu Ming's words, the door of the office was pushed open, and Wang Xueying ran back for some reason. She was half-leaning against the door, pointing excitedly outside and saying hello, as if she had seen something interesting.
"Xueying, why are you back?"
Shen Dapeng suddenly remembered that Wang Xueying had to swipe his meal card to pay for the bicycle he was riding. He happened to be back now, which saved him another trip. However, when he arrived at the door, he was stunned, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared outside with a half-smile.
A road covered with golden leaves.
Everyone in the office was also a little curious about what was happening outside. They moved to the door one by one, and happened to see a row of bicycles speeding on the road. From beginning to end, there were estimated to be twenty or thirty bicycles. They were colorful and eye-catching, and every bicycle
There are small promotional flags tied to the bicycles, with the logo of 'dane bicycles' printed on them.
"Look, isn't it beautiful? Isn't it beautiful?"
Wang Xueying didn't know that Shen Dapeng and others were talking about Dane bicycles just now. She shouted excitedly and then lightly touched Shen Dapeng.
"I went back to the dormitory downstairs and found that I couldn't lock the bike. Then I remembered that you used your meal card to swipe this shared bicycle. Why don't I send it back to you quickly and let you lock the bike and save you some money? How about it? I'm
Not very good at living?"
"hehe!"
Shen Dapeng forced a smile, but did not say anything to Wang Xueying. Instead, he frowned and looked thoughtfully at the Dane bicycle team going away.
