Chapter 452: Isn’t the third wave of outbreak a little early?
"Yanshen, are you serious?"
On the last day of June, Chen Fan sat in Li Yan's office and asked from the bottom of his heart.
"Of course I am serious about participating. I have registered my name." Li Yan flipped through the documents in his hand and threw them aside. "...You have signed up, right?"
"...Yes." Chen Fan covered his face, "Brother, I mean, you..."
"The subject is also serious. Isn't it too science fiction to study autonomous driving?"
"I feel like it's very sci-fi." Chen Fan nodded, "Although there is some basic research on autonomous driving, it is basically just talk on paper. It seems that it is basically about operations and rarely involves algorithms."
Li Yan looked at Chen Fan doubtfully, "Then I think you are quite serious. What else are you asking me for?"
"I mean... is it really okay to talk about the Science and Technology Innovation Competition in your office?"
"What's wrong with this? Before you get too hung up on it..."
Before Li Yan finished speaking, he saw Chen Fan squatting down and waving his hands frantically.
"Don't say it, please don't say it, brother."
Li Yan was stunned, "Hey, are you sorry?"
Chen Fan covered his face, what did he say?
"We may not accept what you want to give."
He did have a period of relief since then, known as "self-reconciliation."
I feel like I finally have the opportunity to flex my muscles and pursue what I want in my heart.
As a result, just attending class brought him back to his original form.
After following Li Yan for a long time, I really feel like I am also the protagonist of the world.
However, Chen Fan is just an ordinary genius after all, and being admitted to the Excellence Class is an honor anyway - which means that he is actually not outstanding here.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
The truth from ancient times will always be practiced by each individual at different stages.
Taking the cable car, I thought the scenery on the top of the mountain was ordinary, and I started to think about climbing the mountain. However, I found out that being able to ride on the cable car was a blessing when I was constantly suffering from hypoxia.
Chen Fan's advantages in computers are not outstanding in the excellence class, let alone other abilities.
In the past, everyone often used Chen Fan to learn about Future Technology and Li Yan. After Chen Fan said that he was just in name and took the initiative to distance himself from the topic, he suddenly felt that he had fallen out of favor in the Excellence Class.
Especially during the time when the Jiaolong mobile phone was released, the entire excellence class was discussing it like crazy, and from time to time someone would make inquiries.
However, Chen Fan really didn't know.
As a result, he even chose to avoid topics related to Jiaolong's mobile phone.
Only he himself knows how it feels.
So later Li Yan invited him to sit in the front row at the press conference, and he agreed without any hesitation.
After all, he had used Li Yan as a comparison object before, and he always had some thoughts about you and me.
I don’t know the true face of Mount Lu, just because I am in this mountain.
After leaving Li Yan, he could really see the difference.
"Yanshen, what I mean is that the outside world is talking about how stressed you are now. Takeaways have become a siege. The research and development of domestic mobile phones are also in full swing."
Chen Fan paused for a moment, then his tone suddenly rose, "And you ended up talking about the competition with me in the office?"
"No way," Li Yan shook his head, "As you can see, there are indeed a lot of things going on recently, otherwise I could go to school to talk to you."
Chen Fan was going crazy, "That's not what I meant! Brother, why don't you take the current situation seriously? I'm so stressed about taking up your time now."
"Where did you occupy it? It was obviously me who took the initiative to find you." Li Yan said with a smile, "Also, what is the current situation?"
Chen Fan was anxious, "The food delivery army is pressing down on the country to wage a subsidy war, various domestic mobile phones with 'self-developed systems' have appeared on the scene, and now even taxi-hailing software has begun to appear."
"It seems that Mr. Chen is still very concerned with the development of future technology."
This tease made Chen Fan sit on the ground again.
"Yanshen, you are you and I am me. I am really stressed..."
Chen Fan seemed to have completely accepted his status as an ordinary person in front of Li Yan.
"I'm not nervous." Li Yan even looked a little relaxed, "I know outsiders think I'm under unprecedented pressure now, but it's actually the opposite."
pause.
This made Chen Fan scratch his head and said, "I want to hear that kind of words, that's the kind of thing!"
"I got the first batch easily, and things turned out better than I expected."
Yes, that’s the kind of pretentious talk!
Chen Fan felt comfortable. When Li Yan said this, he felt like he was back to the days when he and Li Yan were roommates.
At least it made him feel that Li Yan was still a living person standing in front of him and still had some bonds with him, rather than a lofty god.
"How to say?"
"In this wave of price wars, if they have sufficient funds and are determined to fight against me, and only a few giants fight for a decisive monopoly, then I will be a little afraid.
"If they stay calm and manage the fruits of their victory in the Thousand Regiments War first, and then start a price war with a strong business base, then I would be a little afraid.
"If the food delivery they create has its own highlights and combines its own group buying advantages to come up with a different business model, I will also have a headache.
"If they are really willing to give up profits, and the merchants will make more money from them, and pay attention to quality as much as we do, in other words, they will burn money more thoroughly, then I will really find it difficult to support it."
Speaking of this, Li Yan looked at Chen Fan and couldn't help but smile.
"But...then what?" Chen Fan didn't understand.
"As a result, they just finished the Thousand Group War, and their vitality was severely damaged, so they launched a price war. Their own group buying group has not yet stabilized, and the pressure on the monopoly to repay the capital is very high. At the same time, everyone wants a piece of the pie, and the more melee the better for us. Because our users are highly connected to Jiaolong mobile phones, and food delivery is not a mainstream lifestyle that people are accustomed to nowadays, it is not easy for them to steal my customers, and other markets will not be completely swallowed up.”
< br>
Chen Fan nodded blankly.
"The most interesting thing is that they are in a hurry. They are too anxious to copy my plan, they are too anxious to develop a decent order dispatching algorithm, they are too anxious to build their own delivery team, they are too anxious to lower the franchise threshold like crazy, and they completely ignore the quality. Only pursuit of quality
"What does this mean? They are just being used as negative teaching materials. All kinds of monsters and monsters can be settled here, so what's the point of spending a few dollars to buy a bad meal? By then, we will have vomiting and diarrhea, and we won't need any negative publicity. Provoke with intention.
"The so-called online car-hailing is the same as the 'self-developed system' of domestic mobile phones. They skipped the professional taxi driver and went directly to the personal driver business. This path cannot be wrong, but it must not be rushed and nothing will happen. Fortunately, if anything happens, it will be unbearable for them.
"Not to mention the self-developed system. This thing can be built as soon as it is built. Why should the entire technology circle in Beijing be slapped in the face by me?"
Chen Fan thought to himself, big brother, didn’t you just do it as soon as you said it would happen?
Li Yan read the look in Chen Fan's eyes, so she paused for a moment and gave him a "can it be the same?" look back.
"These fake self-researched products will definitely be researched by enthusiasts. Not to mention whether they are useful or not, people who support domestic products will buy fake self-researched products, which will backfire and promote us." Chen Fan probably understood. , "Then they make frequent mistakes?"
"This is not the most stupid thing." Li Yan smiled and crossed her legs. "These major food delivery platforms actually regard the merchants I cooperate with as competitors. It is simply an unimaginably weak decision. Those are all high-quality Merchants, they actually drew the 38th line. Isn’t this making the comparison even more severe? If you want to be safe when taking out food, go to Hungry, right?”
Li Yan spoke too fast, and Chen Fan struggled to understand.
"Of course, everything has a root cause - making money. Even if they are burning money like crazy, they can't give up making money. While they are heavily subsidizing to attract users, they are also giving merchants a higher ratio than Hungry Bar and providing unsystematic delivery. The employee commission is lower than Hungry Bar... The low-end merchants have low costs, and the lack of delivery system and operating costs are also low. These are all still suppressed. If they really have a monopoly in the future, I am afraid that the three-party commission platform will make a big profit, and the problem will not be solved.
"I think this is quite strange. Burning money is for the future. The band itself is the winner of the battle of thousands of groups, so it should know this well. How can it make money and then burn it? It seems that the pressure from capital is It's really big, or it's to the point where you have to be careful about spending money
"All in all, the sales of Jiaolong mobile phones are quite stable, and my user base is gradually spreading. The current super life circle is to provide affordable high-quality services and maintain slow expansion. The number of loyal fans continues to rise, don't underestimate it. The role of the user's 'tap water'. And the so-called opponents who brought unprecedented pressure to me... are like this, so..."
It’s coming, it’s coming, it’s time to show off again!
"Can we discuss the topic of the competition?"
ah? Aren’t you guys explaining so much just to advance the competition?
Then Chen Fan had no choice but to have the luxury of staying in Li Yan's office to discuss research directions with him.
"You mean, we need to study self-driving algorithms?"
"Is it much easier than actually making a car?"
"It's easy...it's bullshit, brother, by the way, why do you have this question?"
"Because it's simple."
Even though he was fully prepared, Chen Fan still didn't expect that Li Yan would show his true colors at this time.
So he was stunned on the spot.
"Of course, it also depends on the occasion." Li Yan said, "If it is not a competition, but an official-led event, we really have no advantage."
"But." Chen Fan said.
Li Yan motioned for him to continue.
Chen Fan shook his head, "I'm just saying this word for you."
"If it were just a competition, our advantage would be more than one and a half points. Originally, Jiaolong Mobile has cooperated with Guardian Maps. We have studied the order dispatch algorithm and various data from the Chelaila platform."
"So you are here to win?" Chen Fan showed a very surprised expression.
"Is this any surprise?"
"Now you are actually willing to win or lose in a competition of this level?"
Li Yan smiled and stretched, "Either you don't participate, or you will definitely have the desire to win if you participate. But taking this opportunity to study autonomous vehicle algorithms can be considered as killing two birds with one stone."
"That's it!" Chen Fan became excited, "I told you that you won't study this thing just to win or to make it easier to do. Tell me, tell me, what are you going to do next?"
"The city of the future."
Chen Fan couldn't help but hold back Chen Fan's question: "After building mobile phones, the next step is to build cars."
"Co-authoring a car is just part of your idea?"
"Besides, even tall buildings have to be built on the ground." Li Yan said with a smile.
The air conditioner in the office was obviously on full blast, but Chen Fan was sweating on his forehead for no apparent reason.
The former roommate in front of me was always able to say some fantastic words, which would be called naive or arrogant in others, but no matter how exaggerated it was, it had a unique magic power when spoken by Li Yan.
"You activated the magic card again."
"What?" Li Yan didn't understand this time.
"Be careful about getting slapped in the face."
...Childlike fun.
"Actually, the city of the future is just an idea."
Chen Fan nodded. This concept is too big. It can and can only be an idea. It is rare for Comrade Li Yan to express some practical ideas.
"Just part of what I want to do."
Chen Fan covered his ears and said, "Let's talk about how to solve the competition problem."
Then he saw an astonishing number of folders on Li Yan's computer, "This is the information I recently compiled and some preliminary research I did. I will give you a hard drive later, copy it and take a look. We can't talk directly today." Something came out.”
"...You want me to join, it's Tush..." Chen Fan caught a glimpse of Li Yan's speechless expression and shut up.
The two of them had only chatted for a few words when there was a sudden knock on the office door.
Chen Fan was a little nervous for a moment.
"It's okay, you are the most senior employee of Future Technology, and not many people have shares."
Liu Liwei was the one who walked through the door, and his excitement could be seen from his expression.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Chen..."
He reacted quickly, but Chen Fan was already stiff.
"Is there something good?"
"A group suddenly appeared on Knowledge Planet last night called the 'Jiaolong Mobile Phone Objective Research Center'. They should be a group of fans of our mobile phones and can be considered electronic product enthusiasts."
"I know this. I thought it was a hostile force at first. The word 'objective' is really..." Li Yan nodded.
"Hahaha, they are actually fans. They are studying and analyzing the advantages of Hetu system and Jiaolong mobile phone compared with others."
"Then what?" Li Yan didn't quite understand what good news this was.
"This organization has grown very fast and has become famous on all online platforms this morning. It is said that it is because their analysis is very objective and resonates with many people. Now the number of posts above has skyrocketed. They are basically our user experience sharing and life-oriented There are also some hard-core ones, and most of them are good reviews.”
Li Yan raised an eyebrow.
"What's outrageous is that," Liu Liwei couldn't help but laugh, "there are still many people who haven't bought the Jiaolong phone sharing their bad experiences with other phones... I specifically asked the publicity team, and Jiang said it was not their work. We didn’t spend a penny, and other brands thought we were engaged in a public opinion war.”
Chen Fan looked at Li Yan with wide eyes.
"Oh," Li Yan glanced at the mobile phone sales and usage data updated in real time on the desktop, "I just did something else, and I really didn't pay attention. The sales volume has gone up a lot, and the platform activity has also increased a lot. ”
"Yes! That's what I want to tell you. I'm really happy!" Liu Liwei looked very excited. If he hadn't been in Li Yan's office, he would have danced.
"Very good, this is the third wave of the outbreak that I expected, and it has already started." Li Yan looked very calm, as if he expected it, "Isn't it a little early... Is the power of tap water so strong? ? Or, as I said, our competitors gave us a big boost..."
When Liu Liwei took the task of data analysis and left, Chen Fan looked at Li Yan with a shocked expression.
Li Yan just smiled and said, "I activated the magic card - the approval of the people."
