(Please vote and collect)
The action was very fast, and everyone in the dormitory took action.
Chen Zhihe is responsible for writing the plan.
Chen Wen is responsible for investigating the situation of second-hand bicycles on campus and observing the main commuting routes of students.
Xu Xiaoran went to find out where there was a place to repair and paint bicycles.
He Linsen is responsible for figuring out the school’s entrepreneurship support plans and policies.
Everyone plays to their own strengths.
By Sunday, Chen Zhihe's plan was initially completed, and the tasks that the rest of the people were responsible for were basically figured out.
In the evening, the first entrepreneurial meeting in dormitory 404 was officially held.
Chen Zhihe specially bought a whiteboard from outside to use as a blackboard, and also bought water pens of various colors.
After closing the door, several people sat around the whiteboard and took turns reporting their results.
The first one to report was Chen Zhihe.
Chen Zhihe turned on the computer and wrote a few keywords on the whiteboard, demonstrating and explaining at the same time.
"I have finished the business plan. Let me talk about the content of the business plan first."
"The business plan mainly consists of seven parts, company overview, products and services, market analysis, competition analysis, marketing strategy, financial analysis and appendices. I will explain them one by one below."
"As for the company overview, I will simply say that if you want to start a business, you must set up an organization. It doesn't matter what it is called. It is best to register a company. Although it is a grassroots team, if we want to do it, we should do it in a formal way."
"Since we want to register a company, we have to clarify the company's name, company structure, company's purpose and company's business philosophy. We will discuss this together later.
I will focus here on the company's business strategy. Since we are sharing bicycles, it is a new thing and will definitely encounter difficulties. How to put it in, how to prevent theft, and how to collect money all need to be solved.
My point of view is to cooperate with the person in charge of the school's work-study program in the early stage and let the work-study students do this. Secondly, cooperate with the school security office to prevent theft. As for how to collect money, I am a little immature for the time being.
The idea will be discussed in detail later.
At the same time, cultivate students' sense of honor and let everyone act together to protect our shared bicycles. Regarding this, we can work hard on the company's name, purpose and business ideals. For example, the name is "Jiang Xiaoying", with "Jiang Xiaoying"
"Serve the students" purpose, with the concept of "environmental protection, green, love the school"."
"..."
Without stopping, Chen Zhihe focused on describing products and services, market analysis, competition analysis, marketing strategies and sales, financial analysis, etc.
After the explanation, the other three people were stunned.
If they hadn't spent time with Chen Zhihe, the three of them would have almost doubted whether Chen Zhihe had ever started a business before.
Otherwise, if everyone is obviously a sophomore who has just entered college, why would you be so good?
He Linsen joked: "Old Chen, you are putting us under a lot of pressure. You stand out from the rest in our dormitory. I think you should stop calling yourself Chen Zhihe. Just call yourself Chen Duxiu."
When Xu Xiaoran heard this, he thought it was absolutely amazing and gave He Linsen a thumbs up.
Chen Wen looked at Chen Zhihe with some surprise and frustration, because Chen Zhihe basically analyzed all the information he investigated, including key commuting routes, second-hand bicycles discarded by graduates, and what Chen Zhihe said to investigate with him
They are basically consistent.
"Brother Chen, I have nothing to say on this topic. What you said is basically the same as what I investigated." Chen Wen was a little frustrated.
Seeing Chen Wen's frustration, Chen Zhihe encouraged: "That means your investigation is right, and it also proves that my observation is correct, so your work is still very important."
Then, Xu Xiaoran said that he had found a repair shop through his family connections. Although it was not a bicycle repair shop, if the quantity was large, the other party could take the order, and because it was not technically difficult, the price was not expensive.
He Linsen said that he has understood that as long as there is a complete plan and the project is operable, the school will definitely support it. Moreover, Jiangda will soon launch a college student entrepreneurship competition. If you get a good ranking, the school will continue
Provide financial and policy support.
After a round of reporting, everyone felt that this project was very feasible.
The next focus is to improve the plan and prepare for the ideas in the plan.
Taking advantage of the excitement, everyone began to discuss the company's name, structure, purpose and business philosophy.
After thinking about it, Chen Zhihe felt that the name "Jiang Xiaoying" was still too limiting. If it was just done at Jiang University, it would be okay. But if it wanted to become bigger, it would definitely not work.
Xu Xiaoran said: "What do you think of the name Wanwan Bicycle?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them looked at him.
Xu Xiaoran said: "I was just kidding."
He Linsen said leisurely: "You really know how to think, and you really dare to think. Can you use your brain? Think about it. From now on, everyone will say, riding a Wanwan, tusk tusk, tusk tusk, I'm afraid you will have to commit suicide."
Xu Xiaoran was stunned, shuddered, and his face suddenly changed: "No, this name doesn't work, let's think of another one."
In the end, everyone decided on the name and agreed with Chen Zhihe's suggestion, calling it "QFO".
The name was inspired by a still image of a person trying to ride a bicycle, with a support frame for the rear wheel.
Everyone praised this vivid name and unanimously agreed to use this name.
The body colors are tentatively planned to be cherry blossom and light green.
The cherry blossom color is really in line with Jiangda’s beautiful cherry blossom scenery, but it is too feminine after all, so adding a light green color is more in line with public aesthetics, and green means environmental protection.
The two colors together, so beautiful, mean the cherry blossom tree.
So, the idea is ready to come out.
"Green, healthy, and environmentally friendly" is definitely a gimmick.
As for the purpose, everyone felt that "serving classmates" was too political and had no bright spots, so they rejected it.
Finally, it was Chen Zhihe who came forward and proposed the concept of "sharing and inclusiveness".
Since it is called shared bicycles, it is natural to highlight sharing and at the same time point out the meaning of sharing, which is inclusive, so that everyone can get convenience at a small cost.
Now, there is only one last key question left - how to charge.
No matter how high-sounding you say it, the ultimate goal is to make a profit. To make a profit, you have to solve the problem of how to charge.
Chen Zhihe knows that before electronic payment is mature, the only way to recharge is offline.
Fortunately, smartphones are already a major trend, and the changes brought about by the release of Apple's iPhone 4 will completely change human life.
Many thorny problems can be solved by sharing bicycles.
Since electronic payment is not possible, first use offline recharge, and then control unlocking and billing through software.
Fortunately, the QR code technology has matured and become popular in China, so vehicle identification is not a problem.
From a technical point of view, except for electronic payment, the basic functions of shared bicycles in future generations can now be realized.
So Chen Zhihe made a decision and decided that he would solve this problem.
