Zhangpeng bike sharing is now an income investment project and is about to enter its first cold winter since its establishment.
In the previous life, under the premise that smartphones, payment platforms, user groups, etc. were all more powerful than Zhangpeng Bicycle, many shared bicycle companies were unable to solve the sharp drop in winter orders.
At present, Zhangpeng Bicycle is still just a small brand that has just started and its customers are in universities. Even the payment method depends on the meal cards of each university.
The winter in Beijing has completely reached sub-zero temperatures since December. Although there is not yet the severe wind and snow in the north, for the sake of health, almost no one will ride in the severe cold.
Everyone who rides a bicycle knows that it is very easy to catch a cold if you sweat after exercising, and riding in the cold wind is not good for your delicate knees. Most importantly, if it snows and the ground freezes, you may fall down at any time.
, the possibility of falling injury.
Although bicycles are basically used as a means of transportation to and from get out of class on campus, which is very different from riding a bicycle, how many people would ride on campus in the cold wind and sub-zero temperatures when they are vulnerable to injury? Carrying a bicycle weighing more than ten kilograms to and from get out of class and get off work? Just to save a few minutes?
"Cao Zhang, have all the bicycles we got from dance been put into use?"
"Well, our schools, including Yanjing University, Normal University, University of Science and Technology, and Foreign Languages School, as long as they can accept shared bicycles, we have invested resources. The Normal University has nearly 200 bikes, and the University of Science and Technology has eight.
More than ten amounts..."
"These data reports are included. I want to ask, have all the bicycles been put into use?"
Shen Dapeng looked at the report with boredom and threw it on the table.
"The defective dance bicycles were destroyed and recycled, and the qualified products were basically put into use. Only less than 100 bicycles were left to replace the normal maintenance period. Now there are a total of 1,200 bicycles, and maintenance is required every month.
Maintenance fees, the salary of the bicycle administrator, and then deducting the fees charged by each school and canteen, phew..."
Cao Zhang was not in the mood to explain everything clearly, and even if he did, it would be meaningless. Seeing that there was no one else in the office, he let out a deep breath of depression that he had suppressed for a long time.
He also considered that Zhangpeng Bicycle would encounter bottlenecks in winter, but at that time he thought that it would take a few months for consumers to adapt, so that the revenue would not become negative. Now it seems that his idea was too optimistic.
"Take back all the bicycles invested in schools."
Shen Dapeng patted the table leisurely, his expression extremely indifferent.
"Is this the only way?"
Cao Zhang shook his head unwillingly, "It has not been easy for Zhangpeng Bicycle to reach this point in a few months. It is difficult to maintain the freshness of young people. If we withdraw completely, it will be tantamount to giving up the future of Zhangpeng Bicycle.
I don’t want to give up so easily.”
"The temperature in winter is too low for the use and maintenance of shared bicycles. Rather than wasting time and energy, it is better to minimize costs or losses. Winter is long, and even hundreds of kilograms of polar bears have to hibernate, not to mention us.
Zhangpeng Bicycle was originally an entrepreneurial project with poor returns, and failure is normal. The current environment is not enough to provide strong support for shared bicycles. There are many profitable businesses, so there is no need to force it."
Shen Dapeng originally did not want to make the shared bicycle project bigger. If Cao Zhang did well, he could get a share of the pie without any effort. If Cao Zhang could not maintain it, he could consider whether to take action in the future when the general environment meets the conditions. However,
It’s certainly not the case now that even smartphones are not widely available.
"You mean the computer supermarket you are running?"
Cao Zhang smiled helplessly, "I heard that your recent business is pretty good, but... it's not really business."
"Are you trying to say that you or the Cao family can't get through to you or the Cao family? I think it's buying and selling, neither cheating nor cheating. This is called buying and selling, and it can also be called business."
"Rivers converge and rush into the sea. Regardless of the size of the business, even if the vegetable or meat sellers in the market look inconspicuous, they still make more money every year than enterprises and institutions. If you can support your family, it is a good business."
"Dapeng, are you inviting me to cooperate with you? It seems you are not sincere enough?"
A rare smile appeared on Cao Zhang's face. In recent days, he had heard more and more about the computer supermarket among his classmates. His lack of trust at the beginning turned into a surge in reputation, which proved Shen Dapeng's unique vision and ability.
Moreover, he is also aware of the violence in the electronics industry. If he can cooperate with Shen Dapeng, he may have more development than Zhangpeng Bicycle, whose efficiency is about to reach freezing point.
"No, you have to show sincerity."
Shen Dapeng calmly fiddled with the "Houhei Xue" on the table, "In the future, I will be a national chain of computer supermarkets. You should know whether the profits are considerable, but I am very picky about my requirements for partners. They must
……rich."
"Yes, rich? Haha."
Cao Zhang couldn't help but smile, "If you don't make a sound, you will be a blockbuster? This is in line with your character, but I like it. It just so happens that Zhangpeng Bicycle has entered the cold winter period. I don't want to waste time. Why don't you count me in your computer supermarket?"
, let’s open a second chain store together?”
"It's not the two of us, it's 'us'!! You've all met my friends Tang Wei and Du Yuefeng. They all have shares in Computer Supermarket. If you want to build a follow-up chain store, you can't do without them."
"No, if you turn a small computer supermarket worth over RMB 100,000 into a joint-stock company, it's a bit of a fuss, isn't it?"
"The computer supermarket in Tang Wei really cost more than 100,000 yuan. Don't you think you'd like it and want to make it worth several million?"
"It won't cost millions, but it's definitely not a cheap decoration, and I won't make low-end assembly machines. If I want to do it, I will make high-end brand machines. It will save time and effort, and make more money."
He did look down on computer supermarkets at first, but he learned from Lu Ming that the computer business is actually very easy to do, especially as an agent for high-end brand machines. As long as the service is in place, you can earn the difference in price after selling it. As for after-sales service, there is
A specialized brand company will handle it, so sellers don’t need to worry at all.
But recently I have been worried about how to solve the problem of Zhangpeng Bicycle, so I thought about solving the problem of Zhangpeng Bicycle first, and then I will study the cooperation with Shen Dapeng in the computer supermarket. I didn’t expect that the computer supermarket happened to be mentioned today, so I followed the topic.
There is no need to hide my inner thoughts from Shen Dapeng anyway.
"You want to make a high-end brand machine? As far as I know, it doesn't seem to make money, right? Computers are inherently high-end consumption, and students have limited money, so they will definitely buy a computer that suits their configuration."
