Chapter 145 Zhenniu Technology is listed
If everything goes well, the two main cities can reach more than 300, and then the situation will be set up into a backbone state, which will facilitate the placement of bicycles and land, and facilitate the promotion. In other words, first encircle users and let them understand Xiaokang, use Xiaokang app, and then increase the density in the future, just like the imperial capital.
In fact, the Xiaokang Imperial Capital Base Camp is also preparing to expand its store, with the goal of adding 300 yuan. After completion, the imperial capital will reach a scale of 700. This way, even if it has begun to take shape, it can produce chemical reactions.
The reason why we have to go out immediately is that the fresh food factory has not been built yet and will be completed and accepted on the 15th. The calm and orderly way is of course to test the fresh food and sort out the logistics before expanding the store to ensure that there is no problem with the supply, but it is too late. The online content is hungry and the layout needs to be expanded offline and more users are included. These users need to supplement the online content. No matter how big the content is, there are few people, you can't play it.
Therefore, it is better to expand offline stores one day earlier.
As for the VR factory that uses the same piece of land as the fresh food factory, it will take time to complete the assembly of the production line. Fortunately, Mu Lian himself is a human resources officer, and he is not expected to encounter too many difficulties in recruitment.
Some news has continued to ferment during this period, and Mu Lian is not given enough time. For example, the HTC headset is about to be sold, and the time to go online in China is set on April 16th, and competitors are in a close way.
Of course, at this stage, Baren cannot claim that he is a competitor of HTC, which does not conform to Baren's modest and pragmatic style.
In fact, Mu Lian's task is very heavy. Even if he is a smartphone, he must have his own design as a plan integrator. It is impossible to just throw the orders to the OEM factory like a bag company. In addition to design, Chu Yuanxi also requires himself to assemble the key parts and not use OEM, which is equivalent to higher requirements than pure plan integration, so he has to build his own factory instead of one office team to handle it.
Therefore, Mu Lian's factory must take a long time to design plans, polish products, and fill pits, and need to complete the process from 0 to 1. Chu Yuanxi's time requirements for her are also fine. The first goal is to take out a concept machine in June. At present, Mu Lian's technical experts recruitment has not been fully in place, and there is not even an appearance patent, which is still very early.
In contrast, HTC launched three products earlier, with an elite set priced at 7988, and the technological content is just that. The price is higher than Huawei. It can be seen that this industry itself has certain vitality and is an industry that can make money.
However, in Chu Yuanxi's plan, he wants to be a price butcher, and he will subvert the market well.
He still remembers watching a TV series called "Ling Tangyuan" when he was a child. The protagonist made a fortune by selling lamp oil. Even today, the sales method is very representative. At that time, kerosene lamps were still a rare thing, and the people had never seen it. In today's words, it was in a stage where the education market needed, so how could it be promoted quickly? The protagonist's method was to get the lights and oils for free, and it was not for money.
The cost of subsidizing users in this way is of course not low, but in the future, these users who use kerosene lamps will naturally know that it is better than candles, so they all have to buy their lamp oil. In other words, the cost of burning out in advance will be recovered from the market in the future, with capital and profit.
The same is true for Baren's plan. The headset is the lamp. "Enemy of Rome" and other possible krypton gold VR games in the future are lamp oil. If we don't send our lamp out, how could anyone burn our oil?
The news about HTC is close but not exciting, and some are more exciting.
For example, it is said that Sun Dasheng is going to break the contract again and promised Wework's $3 billion offer to withdraw it.
On the one hand, it shows that Sun Dasheng may have suffered sudden poverty and no longer even made up his dreams. On the other hand, it shows how passive wework was when he chose the equity rescue plan of Vision Fund instead of Morgan Stanley's debt plan. You should know that it has been almost half a year since the time has passed, and the offer has not been completed yet. This speed is unimaginable for debt financing.
Chu Yuanxi gave herself a thumbs up when he saw this news again. He felt absolutely unhappy when he was controlled by others. Li Jingfei's grandson must have not been kind to him at the beginning.
Of course there is good news, but it seems relatively empty, that is, the relevant departments have re-emerged and emphasized the importance of the digital economy, that is, the importance of blockchain technology, which is definitely a potential benefit for Cao Xiang to apply for a fund.
In addition, there is no good or bad news, that is, the 2019 Q4 Guochao mobile payment map was presented in data. Alipay got 55%, Tenpay +%. Like in the past, the two companies basically monopolize this market.
In fact, this data is nothing new, but Chu Yuanxi was quite excited after seeing it. In the original world, he did not challenge this untouchable reverse scale. Now, he has increased the difficulty for himself, and it has been publicly increased - mobile payment is what he likes to talk about in Xiaokang's A round of financing, which is used to cover up social interaction.
However, mobile payment itself is also charming. Chu Yuanxi adds the burden to himself not just to hide the truth. Many interesting ideas have long been activated by the spark of wisdom. Turning idea into practice is also a refreshing thing. What's more, the opponent is Alibaba and Penguin, which is so huge that it is invincible. The attack point is still the core area of the two, and is the mobile payment that is already Fenghuocheng?
Of course, there are so many people in China who claim to do mobile payment, so Penguin and Alibaba probably didn't take it seriously at the beginning, but it's hard to say after a while.
At this time, the city treasure had been launched, but because the map under the Xiaokang store circle was mainly in a corner of the imperial capital, the power was not obvious. Therefore, Chu Yuanxi did not add any more information, and even a very powerful killer function in his mind was still stuck in his mind and was not developed.
From the production level, it is a very simple small function. It can be done in less than a week with the product power of Xiaokang. However, based on Xiaokang's ecology and content, the power of promoting mobile payment is definitely important, called map advertising.
This is a spark of wisdom from Chu Yuanxi. Of course, no matter what function, users need to be. If the user has more killers, the only task at present is to expand the territory and expand the user base.
During this period, he also noticed a phenomenon and felt urgency, that is, the quality life project was just launched, and a lot of sugar-free branded beverages appeared on the market like mushrooms after a rain.
What is this situation? Not only did Chu Yuanxi not understand, but everyone on the entire quality life production line did not understand. Du Xiu not only did not understand, but also was very annoyed, because the first step in quality life was to find OEM, and he was fully responsible for this matter.
The current situation is that OEM has been found and is being tested. When there is no problem with the test drive, it will be mass-produced and then put it on the Imperial Capital Market. As a result, I haven’t been online for a few days. I went online and saw that there were a bunch of Internet celebrity sugar-free drinks such as Yuanqi Grassland, Tianxia Water House, Baisiting Me, etc., and then Ming Ren suddenly got his brains and changed to soda with a car-containing model. Even the Paris Water was used to listen to it.
What is this to do?
You should know that when Chu Yuanxi gave him face-to-face advice, the only one Yuanqi grassland had become a scale, and he had never heard of anything else. Suddenly, a large number of drinks with 0 sugar and 0 card appeared, and they all claimed to be internet celebrity drinks, making Du Xi mistakenly think that his business plan was leaked. Then many people felt it was good, so they went to Maxing Village, but instead pressed their own owner to the back.
Chu Yuanxi had no choice but to comfort him that the market was flexible and smart people could not have only Xiaokang. Moreover, those so-called Internet celebrity products are scattered and single products, and Xiaokang quality life is a series of products, which is called a product matrix in fashionable terms, which solves the various dietary needs of high-sugar people in one-stop, so it is more competitive.
Moreover, isn’t this still divided into channels? Xiaokang’s own products must be mainly offline, and those Internet celebrity drinks can only go to e-commerce. After any pheasant brand comes out, they will call themselves Internet celebrity xx because they are not able to do offline.
If you don’t have a channel of the size of Xiaokang, how difficult is it to stuff your products into offline physical stores? Especially the new brand. Tianwo Honey and Pomelo Tea was spent on advertising costs back then. What should you drink healthy and beautiful? As a result, the company itself has sufficient offline genes. It is called the super aircraft carrier among Guochao beverage agents. It has many first-tier brands in hand, built its own sales network, and finally turned into a coffee table aircraft carrier.
However, this era of great development of e-commerce has given traditional small factories new opportunities, which can get rid of all offline channel costs and billing cycles, and get rid of unreasonable stalls and piles of expenses in all stores. The current situation is that as long as there is a production line, you can call yourself an internet celebrity product and start online shopping. According to the rules of the e-commerce platform, you can pay another part of the unreasonable cost and expenses, buy direct trains, buy diamond exhibitions, buy product sales treasures, and accept the billing cycle of e-commerce platforms, so as to gain a foothold in the market.
Although it is all costs, it has been reduced a little, and the data is transparent. Even if the merchant spends money in vain, he can tell where it is wrong.
This in turn prompts e-commerce to continue to develop and form a positive cycle. It is this ecosystem that prompts new e-commerce companies to rush to the battlefield against Taobao, Pinduoduo and Dagoudong. There are Taojiji that fell last year, and there are routines that are constantly advocating. Recently, even Xiaomi has been making efforts to promote Xiaomi Youpin.
In fact, e-commerce like Mengtui cannot go far. Pressing users’ IQ under the friction of underground means that they can only go to the sinking market to find users. First- and second-tier online shopping users have experienced many battles, and it is difficult to get trapped.
For example, Mengtui likes to launch various so-called threshold-free coupons with great strength, but each coupon can only be purchased in the designated list. Therefore, the same item, on the list of 30, the price is 40, the price is 10 yuan, the price is 69.9 in the list of 60, and the price is 9.9. What if there is no coupon? The price is about 10.1.
It cannot be said that getting a 60-dollar discount is useless, after all, spending a penny less is also good. However, if this model wants to move to the first and second lines, it must optimize the user experience and provide more sincere subsidies.
However, this type of e-commerce must have a different understanding of the word "sincerity" from ordinary people, so tricks such as withdrawals and changing vouchers to vouchers frequently appear. It's just that Mengtui also specifies shopping lists for modern vouchers, which are better than Pinduoduo, and they are matched with the above routines to shop, making users even more ruthless.
If Chu Yuanxi wants to do this kind of e-commerce, he can do one by himself at any time.
In fact, many members of Xiaokang have intentionally or unintentionally asked the company whether they have the idea of e-commerce after they came into contact with the city treasure function, because if there is traffic and can reasonably accommodate merchants and find more needs, then transforming from a channel to a platform is also a development strategy.
Chu Yuanxi usually just laughs it off because it’s not that he can’t do it, but that he is not interested. The attractiveness of building a platform is just to make a living, and it’s even more boring to be limited to e-commerce. The next era is an era of interconnection of everything, and building a platform for interconnection of everything is attractive, but that’s all a story.
With such a round trip, the time comes to April 20, and the market is not open on this day, but Xue Ming insists on listing on this day to complete the first step of incubation.
His brand is directly linked to Baren, which is equivalent to Baren's affiliation to the Imperial Capital Branch of Fruit Network. Baren provides full-scale incubation services to Zhenniu. The company is called Zhenniu Technology, which focuses on audio ai and is a solution provider. The main focus is on far-field sound recognition, making it possible to operate speakers from a long distance.
Why does this technology require a solution? Because smart speakers on the market generally require users to speak up close to the point of being able to recognize them, and they will not respond at all after being far away. No matter how loud the sound is, the back bottom noise cannot be cut and seriously interferes with the effective sound.
But what is back-bottom noise? This is the difference between humans and machines. It is not easy to teach machines to distinguish what noise is, and it is also a relatively difficult bone in the field of artificial intelligence.
So those who are worried about their privacy of smart speaker monitoring are actually nothing to worry about as long as they are far away. However, all players in the market hope to become the one who solves far-field sound recognition, such products will definitely be sold out.
Chu Yuanxi was also quite generous in such a "promising" company. He converted all the options that Xue Ming had no time to confirm into DKP, added 30 million yuan, and then gave the valuation of 100 million yuan in Angel Round.
This valuation almost turned 5 out of breath, completely shattering the last glimmer of hope for lobbying.
In fact, complaints must be made. For example, the inflated valuation of a startup company may not be a good thing, but it may be a bad thing, which is not conducive to the next step of development, etc. Chu Yuanxi admitted that this set of rhetoric makes sense, but when Xue Ming saw Yang Jiangang and Zhao Jie's incubation agreement and compared it with his, he suddenly felt that this condition was so loose and his shareholding was so high that it would be obvious that he would lose if he didn't sign it!
However, Zhenniu Technology's first business is the outsourcing and maintenance work of the leader of Xiaokang AI. This project cannot be stopped, and the business relationship is now clearer.
In fact, Chu Yuanxi really has to line up and who knows the best about his business plan. The first place is not Xue Jianhua or Liu Lu. In theory, it should be Xue Ming. Technology cannot deceive people and cannot be concealed. If you don’t tell others, you can guess it when others do technology.
Like the functions of the AI team leader, and other AI support in online content, since Xue Ming wants to do it, he must explain the logic. If Xue Ming really doesn't guess, but has no brainstorm, he may do something that is not right. This is also the reason why Chu Yuanxi is so anxious to incubate him and is particularly unwilling to leave the Baren-Xiaokang system. It would be great if his understanding of Xiaokang will spread. Although he may not understand it thoroughly, what if he meets any expert?
Therefore, Xue Ming is the person who is most worried about a well-off business plan. Others don’t know how many things there seem to be logical but actually dangerous in this plan. He knows.
So after hanging up the sign, Xue Ming went directly to Xiaokang President's Office and asked Chu Yuanxi a question: "Actually, I found that although your Xiaokang plan is particularly grand, the real awesome thing is actually bicycles, right? Or it depends on user trajectory to do functions and socialize. If there is no, Xiaokang has a better user experience than ordinary convenience stores. Subsidize users more vigorously. Others can quickly copy the things Xiaokang can play. At worst, there is no need for blockchain."
Chu Yuanxi just nodded because this has long been a cliché within Xiaokang, and Xue Ming found that the New World was also completely unnecessary.
Xue Ming said anxiously: "But if you rely solely on user trajectory, there are still people who can copy it. And they are all giants, and they will instantly become a well-off society. At that time, you will be anxious to death by relying on scale. No matter how I think about it, you will not be in a hurry at all?"
"What are you anxious about? Don't be surprised if you feel at ease."
Chu Yuanxi smiled slightly as he spoke, Xue Mingxin said, "Safety"? Is it because it's useless to be anxious, so I feel at ease? Why does this smile feel particularly demonic?
With a magical smile, Chu Yuanxi said: "You have this idea because you are not sitting in my seat at all. Now you have to be the president. You have to learn to look at the market and competition from the perspective of an entrepreneur."
Xue Ming had no choice but to nod, and Chu Yuanxi taught him how to start a business and become the president in the form of an entrepreneurial mentor. He really had nothing to say.
Chapter completed!
