Chapter 1585 Patterns Can Be Backported

Facing Wei Lan's rhetorical question, Li Mu shouted that he was wronged.

"Wendy Goldberg isn't my confidante, she's just a normal friend at best."

Wei Lan chuckled, hugged Li Mu's arm, his whole body swayed like a tumbler, and said with a smile, "I have to declare first, I'm not jealous, I feel bad for you, a confidante is a waste of time, effort and money. A species, sometimes you have to trouble you to find a way to rescue her when something goes wrong, it's too troublesome."

Li Mu heard the ridicule in her words, put his arms around her waist, and said with a smile, "You're right, one experience like this is enough, I don't want to experience it a second time."

Wei Lan said again: "If there is a very good girl, I don't have any opinion, but a girl who is very utilitarian, such as this Wendy, is fine."

Speaking of this, Wei Lan said: "There are many introductions about her on Titter. This girl seems to be a Cambridge undergraduate or a master, and then she wants to study in China? I don't mean to look down on domestic universities, but on the whole, our Colleges and universities are more than one grade worse than Cambridge, and it is rare to hear about downgrading for further studies, and a person with normal judgment will basically not make such a choice."

Li Mu said: "From what she said, it seems that she is very interested in Chinese culture, so she came to China specifically."

Wei Lan shook her head and said: "I don't believe it, but her words are too shrewd, one is impeccable, and the other is more likable. Chinese people especially like foreigners to identify with their own culture, once a foreigner says he likes Huaxia Culture, everyone will unconsciously have a good impression of him, so that any foreigner who comes here will say that he likes Chinese culture, but in fact they may not even be able to use chopsticks."

Li Mu smiled and said, "You seem to be very dissatisfied with her, are you jealous?"

"Of course she's not jealous." Wei Lan said seriously: "I think she's plotting against you, and I don't want you to be used by this kind of person. She's not like a woman like me or Ziqiu. We, like us, are wholehearted. You give, the only need for you is emotional, not material."

Li Mu couldn't help hugging her tightly, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I can tell who has what intentions for me. I have cooperation with the Goldberg family, which is about the future IPO of Muye Technology."

Wei Lan nodded and said, "I know you must have a good idea."

After speaking, Wei Lan said to Li Mu again: "In fact, Ziqiu is really a good girl, you might as well think about it in the longer term."

Li Mu smiled and said, "You are also a good girl,

For you, I have been thinking very long. "

Wei Lan smiled and said, "What I'm talking about in the long run is not in terms of time, but in terms of dimensions."

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand and said, "I won't give you any ideas. I'm so hungry. Shall we cook something to eat?"

Li Mu spread out his hands and said, "There are only instant noodles and some sausages at home that won't go bad after a long time, nothing new."

"It doesn't matter." Wei Lan stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go to the kitchen to cook noodles together."

Li Mu nodded and followed Wei Lan to the kitchen, looking at the almost empty refrigerator and locker, unable to do anything.

There are only a few packets of instant noodles and a little sausage at home, and there is no extra egg.

This made him nostalgic for the era when he could place an order for food delivery with his mobile phone in later generations.

At this moment, he even wanted Muye Technology to develop a take-out ordering system, but this idea was quickly rejected by him.

The reason why Ele.me is a food delivery platform and its popularity depends on the benefits of the mobile Internet. Among them, smartphones that can surf the Internet and operate APPs are the core. In addition, high-speed mobile networks As well as relatively cheap tariffs, it is the skeleton and body that supports the core, as well as convenient mobile payment, which is one of the souls of the entire O2O industry.

At this stage, the proportion of smart phones is too small, the mobile network tariff is too high, and the network speed is too slow. It takes about a minute to load a picture of several hundred KB with a mobile phone, and the direct tariff generated is more than one yuan, and there is no Mobile payment channels, in this case, it is too difficult to do takeaway O2O.

However, Li Mu soon realized that he had entered a misunderstanding.

The business model is a very common thing. Sometimes the transplant of the business model can be cross-platform. E-commerce itself did not start from the mobile Internet. It is an online transaction business model born in the traditional Internet era. , and then used on various platforms and carriers. In this case, the life service of takeaway does not necessarily require incubation in the mobile Internet environment.

Takeaway products are different from taxi-hailing products. The latter has a huge limitation, that is, the people who provide the service and the people who receive the service are very mobile, and highly rely on the GPS positioning in the smartphone to make them easier to capture. other side;

However, in the essence of take-out products, the person who provides the service and the person who receives the service are fixed, and the only thing that is not fixed is the delivery person who provides the delivery service. To clarify the address, let the delivery staff find their own according to their actual positioning, and no restaurant moves their position while cooking. Therefore, in theory, takeaway products can be directly used in the traditional PC Internet at this stage. times used.

Immediately, Li Mu began to build product architecture and requirements in his mind.

First, the entire product is most suitable for EB, that is, to develop a website that provides takeaway services;

Second, the website should have two sets of backends, one for merchants and one for users;

Third, the user uses the PC to place an order on the page, and the merchant also receives the order through the PC, and then the system sends the order to the courier;

Fourth, Li Mu can ignore the PC terminal at the user level. That is to say, this product only considers ordinary users who have a PC terminal for operation, but the merchant's PC is what Li Mu needs to consider.

Although the price of computers has dropped a lot at this stage, the problem is that many small restaurants may not be able to afford a computer with their net profit for a few months. Therefore, if you want to expand this business, you must find a way Solve those merchants who are unable to purchase PC terminals.

This question may be troublesome to talk about, but Li Mu has his innate advantages. He can directly cooperate with Shenzhou and let Shenzhou customize a low-profile commercial all-in-one machine, which is specially provided to merchants.

Machines can be leased to merchants, paying part of the deposit, or improving business information, that is, they can try it out at a low price. Once they find that online orders have brought them a considerable increase in income, they will naturally consider buying them. or long-term lease;

Fifth, because there is no smartphone, the mobility of the courier will be castrated, so the most suitable way is that the courier restricts the area, and the order in the area is sent by the system to the courier's mobile phone in the form of text messages.

For the limited area of ​​the courier, the concept of population coverage and radius should be adopted. For example, when the food delivery business has not yet started and the utilization rate is low, a courier can cover a community or office building with 2,000 people, then his limited area is Within the scope of these 2,000 people, only orders placed at addresses within his scope will be pushed to him;

Moreover, the user must first limit his order radius when placing an order. For example, if the order radius is three kilometers, then the user can temporarily only place orders for merchants within a three-kilometer radius. In this way, the courier will also be bound. Within three kilometers of the limited area, the efficiency of meal delivery can be guaranteed;

Among them, a large number of SMS delivery services can be communicated in-depth with the two telecom services. The preferential price of the company can definitely be guaranteed. The rest is to find a way to mediate between the two to see who has the lowest cost.

Under normal circumstances, the rate of a text message for a major customer can be reduced to around five cents, or even less than five cents. As a result, the communication cost implied in an order is not high.

In this way, taking myself as an example, I want to order a meal now, and the entire order and service process I want is:

First turn on the computer and list Ziyun Villa as the delivery address, then what you see on the website are all the restaurants that have joined the platform within three kilometers;

Then, through the PC website, browse and select a good dish, confirm the price, these steps are the same as the operation on the mobile phone;

Then, after you use Alipay to pay online, the order will be sent to the seller. After the seller has reviewed the order, click Confirm, then the buyer and seller have reached an agreement, and the system will start to deliver to all limited areas including Ziyun Villa. Staff dispatch.

In the dispatch information, there will be complete pickup address information, as well as relatively vague delivery addresses, such as blurred building numbers, house numbers, and consignee information. After the delivery staff receives the information, look at the approximate location first. Then reply to the text message to confirm the order;

In the case of multiple people grabbing the order, the system will fairly determine who is the first courier to successfully grab the order. After receiving the confirmation message, the courier can go to the merchant to pick up the goods. After the meal arrives, you will see the detailed address of the consignee, and then send the meal.

After the user places the order on the PC, the rest is to wait. After the food delivery person brings the meal to the door, the transaction is automatically completed. The user can click on the PC to confirm or comment in the next time. , Apply for after-sales service.

Although it feels a little more troublesome than a mobile phone, but if you think about it carefully, the first batch of users who used Taobao back then came this way. to the mobile platform.

So looking at it now, it should be completely feasible to reverse transplant the takeaway APP theory and system on the mobile phone platform to the PC platform, although it will inevitably be castrated in terms of function and efficiency due to the lack of technical means. But this kind of castration is completely acceptable in the context of this era...

As soon as he thought of this, Li Mu made a decision almost immediately: Do it! Must do! Start with first-tier cities and gradually cover fourth- and fifth-tier cities and counties. In this case, after two years, smart phones begin to emerge, and you can quickly transplant them!
