Across the video, Xu Tonglu, Xu Anan, and Xu Le chatted and joked for a while, and finally promised that after the two little guys returned to Tianyun, he would take them to the amusement park for a day, so that the two little guys could be satisfied and return to their own home.
Take a seat to dine.
In this way, Tonglu Xu has time and space to talk to his elder brother Tongdao Xu.
"Brother, I want to ask you something."
"What's up?"
Xu Tongdao asked casually.
Xu Tonglu: "Didn't you tell me about a shared bicycle project last time? I just want to ask, what specific considerations did you make when you first wanted to do this project? For example: How does this shared bicycle collect deposits from users?
Is it to open a store of shared bicycles? Collect deposits directly? Or some other method? For example, all members of shared bicycles pay a deposit when they register as members for the first time. When they cancel their membership,
Will the deposit be returned?"
Are you asking in such detail?
Xu Tongdao glanced sideways at Xu Tonglu on the other side of the video, and he had already guessed that this guy might really want to start a new business. Does he really want to start this bicycle sharing project?
In this case, maybe it won't be long before this guy won't be the CEO of Ximen Group.
Comrade Xu felt a little sad.
In other words, the days when he stepped back behind the scenes and left the company to his younger brother Xu Tonglu felt... quite good.
Every day is much more relaxed, and I have plenty of time to read, practice boxing, spend time with my children, and do other things.
Under the management of Xu Tonglu, his company did not have any major problems, and the company's profits continued to grow.
To put it simply, people are more relaxed, but they don’t make much less money.
Who doesn’t like this kind of life?
but……
Again - Xu Tonglu is his biological brother after all.
Therefore, if this kid really wants to set up his own business and start a career of his own, Tongdao Xu will feel a little sad and reluctant to give up.
But he still couldn't bear to stop it.
Even if we can, we are willing to fully support you.
Many thoughts flashed through his mind. Xu Tongdao smiled lightly and said casually: "It's easy, you don't need to open the store! Do you know the QR code?"
"QR code?"
Xu Tonglu on the other side of the video was startled, a little surprised, then nodded and said: "I know! Many websites have started to use QR codes for user verification among the new gadgets that appeared last year, right?"
Comrade Xu nodded slightly, "Actually, the QR code technology has been around for many years, but it only became popular in our country last year.
This is a very good technology. If you really want to share a bicycle, you can use this QR code and put a QR code on every shared bicycle. Nowadays, smartphones have become more popular. You can
As long as each user scans the QR code on the shared bicycle with their mobile phone, they can pay the deposit online. When the customer returns the shared bicycle, the cost of the current use can be deducted from the deposit and returned immediately.
If the customer deposits a deposit, the business will start.”
On the other side of the video, Xu Tonglu listened thoughtfully, turned his eyes, nodded slightly, and then smiled: "So that's it! According to what you said, this shared bicycle is really convenient to use, but..."
Having said this, he squinted at Comrade Xu on the other side of the video, "Brother, didn't you say that this was a project you shelved a few years ago? There should have been no QR codes in our country at that time, right? What did you do at that time?
Are you considering charging a deposit?”
In the promotion of shared bicycles, there is an unavoidable problem - that is how to collect and return deposits from customers.
If no deposit is required, some people who love to take advantage can turn the shared bicycles offered by your company directly into their own private bicycles.
Or ride directly back to the downstairs of your home and lock it so that no one else can use it.
Or buy a bottle of spray paint to change the color of the shared bicycle and turn it directly into your own private bicycle.
Or you can just ride the bike to a scrap collection station and exchange it for a few packs of cigarettes.
Wait for various means.
It will make you hard to guard against.
Only by collecting a deposit can we ensure that the vast majority of users will return the bicycle as soon as possible.
only……
The cost of a bicycle is only one or two hundred yuan, in this day and age.
So here comes the question - ordinary people use shared bicycles for convenience, and they may just want to ride a few hundred meters or several kilometers.
With such a small distance, most people are definitely not willing to waste a lot of time and pay a deposit for this.
That……
When Tongdao Xu thought of this project a few years ago, how did he plan to collect the deposit?
This is what Xu Tonglu was wondering at this time.
Of course, the truth is that when Tongdao Xu wanted to do this project a few years ago, he gave up the idea of doing this project because smartphones and QR codes were not widely used in China yet.
However, Comrade Xu did not say that at this time.
"Why are you asking so many questions about a project that has been shelved a long time ago?"
In one sentence, this topic ends.
On the other side of the video, Xu Tonglu was still confused, but since his eldest brother didn't want to say more, he had to suppress the doubt for the time being.
Fortunately, his elder brother had just helped him solve the big problem of collecting the deposit.
…
After the video call ended, Tongdao Xu continued to eat while thinking to himself: Maybe when Xiaolu no longer wants to continue working at Ximen Group, it is time to consider hiring a suitable professional manager to take care of the company.
After being away from specific work for such a long time, he has no interest in returning to the company and personally taking care of the company's affairs every day.
He also didn't feel that the company would not be able to operate normally without him, Tongdao Xu.
Facts have proven that even though he has been behind the scenes for such a long time, his company has not been in chaos, let alone suffered losses.
After all, Comrade Xu's academic qualifications are somewhat low, and in terms of his ability to manage the company, he may not be as good as a good professional manager.
In contrast, he would rather have more personal time and space to do what he wants to do, and also spend more time with his children.
…
That night.
Tianyun City, the coffee area of Yanhui Hotel.
Xu Tonglu reunited with his old classmate Jiang Sheng.
The two of them drank coffee and chatted.
Jiang Sheng: "Hey, tell me, we have such a good project, why do we have to go to that Xi Zhilanla to invest first? She is not in Tianyun City now. I have asked, she is currently skiing with others in the north.
!I still don’t know when I can come back. How about I take that project and look for other investors? I’ve already prepared the project planning document. Our project is so good, but I’m afraid I won’t find anyone interested.
