Chapter 1756 Follow-Up Interview (Below)
Muye Technology has ordered a large number of commercial computers directly from Shenzhou, which are specially used for various businesses, especially the low-cost small and micro self-employed.
Li Mu's idea is that all merchants will use it for three months for free, and the reason why they want to use these three months for free is mainly to allow merchants to try Ele.me without any threshold.
After three months, merchants realize Ele.me's ability to increase revenue and naturally choose to continue cooperation. At this time, they can choose to rent computers and thermal paper printers provided by Ele.me, or purchase them by themselves.
If the merchant rents it, then the rent is equivalent to an income-generating channel for Ele.me, at least it can wrap up the cost of hardware investment.
It doesn’t matter if the merchants give up renting and choose to buy them by themselves. After these computer equipment is recycled, they can continue to follow this model and send them to new cooperative merchants, or simply sink to smaller cities.
For example, this year Yanjing may eliminate thousands of second-hand commercial computers, and these computers will be sent directly to major cities in Hebei Province. In this case, the transportation cost is also very low, and Taobao logistics can be used to digest it internally.
Li Mu originally wanted to directly put several sets of pure commercial machines on the Shenzhou, that is, all-in-one machines for ordering and settlement in hotels and cafes in later generations. This kind of machine does not require high hardware and is not difficult to manufacture.
However, the most annoying thing about industrial design solutions is industrial design and mold opening. It doesn't matter if the cost of this process is high, but it mainly delays time.
So Li Mu simply went to an ordinary computer to see the effect, and at the same time asked Shenzhou to start a set of commercial computer molds for Ele.me, and then put it into mass production.
The owner of Chuandu Noodle Restaurant, who has undergone professional training on Ele.me, already knows the operation of the order client well. While introducing to the reporter the additional benefits that Ele.me has brought to him, he keeps confirming the order taking in front of the computer.
The reporter couldn't help but ask, "Noon is the peak meal time. Your business should be very good, right?"
The store owner said seriously: "The number of orders is much higher than yesterday at noon. So far, nearly 40 orders have been received. At this rate, it is no problem to exceed 80 orders at noon!"
After speaking, he thoughtfully said: "I think it may be that Ele.me's users are growing rapidly. Yesterday was the first day to go online. The number of users may be less, but today it has started to increase significantly."
The store owner is right.
Yesterday's Ele.me just went online to test the water, and also made a sample to the outside world and launched its own model.
With yesterday's publicity and reports, the number of users has been greatly improved today.
At this time, the rider in charge of delivering meals to Wang Xiaolong had already received the order and said to the reporter, "Well, comrade reporter, I have to go deliver meals to customers."
The reporter hurriedly said, "We will go with you."
The reporter and his party came out together with the rider. The rider straddled Ele.me's custom-made electric bike, while the reporter sat in the car and took pictures.
At first, the reporter could keep up, but soon because the traffic conditions were not so smooth, they were thrown farther and farther by the rider.
Fortunately, Chuandu Noodle House is not far from the building where Wang Xiaolong works, and the reporter's camera can still capture the rider's figure from a distance, so he didn't get lost.
After the rider arrived at the building, he locked the car and hurriedly entered the elevator hall of the building. The reporter also caught up with the rider while he was waiting for the elevator.
When the rider was about to arrive at the door of Wang Xiaolong's company, he called Wang Xiaolong and said with professional speech skills trained by Ele.me: "Hello, is this Mr. Wang? I'm an Ele.me food delivery rider, you. The meal has been delivered, please pick it up at the door of the company."
After hanging up the phone, the person also arrived at the door of the company.
The reporter who followed Wang Xiaolong said in surprise: "It took only fifteen minutes to deliver, and it only took half of the promised time."
Wang Xiaolong got up to pick up the meal, and at the same time said to the reporter: "I think their operation efficiency is very high, but when the number of users is larger, I don't know if such efficiency can be guaranteed."
Wang Xiaolong went out to get food,
The two groups of reporters also met briefly, and then each continued to follow their interviewees.
Here, Wang Xiaolong took the meal back to the company and ate it at his work station. On the other side, the Ele.me rider waited for the elevator while replying to the official order text message sent by Ele.me through his mobile phone. Number 1.
The reporter asked him, "Master, what does reply 1 mean?"
The master said: "Reply 1 is to tell the system that I have completed this order and can take the next order."
The reporter asked again: "The daily text message fee should not be low, right?"
The master smiled honestly and said, "The mobile phone is issued by the company, and we don't need to pay for the call. The company will let us use it with confidence."
At this time, his mobile phone received an official message from Ele.me: "Hello, Dear Rider, I will now send you an order. The order content is: Go to 'Shaxian Snacks Yuhong Road Road' to pick up the meal (restaurant number YJ003121, delivery Go to No. 409, Block C, Zhongguancun Kexin Pioneer Park, order number 401299832, please reply 1 to confirm the order, the order will be reserved for you for one minute, please reply to 2 if the order is rejected, please reply to 3# minutes if the order is suspended, for example: you need to suspend the order Single hour, please reply) 3#60."
The reporter hurriedly asked again: "Master, is this the system starting to dispatch orders?"
"Yes." The master nodded and said, "I confirm that the last order is over, and the system will send me a new order. You see, this order has been locked for me. I want to take this order, just reply 1. Can."
The reporter said: "But there is no user information on it. How will you send it?"
The master said: "Reply 1 to confirm the order, and the system will send the user information to me. If you don't accept the order, you will not be able to see the user information. The company said this is to protect the privacy of the guests."
Having said that, the master has replied 1 to confirm the order.
After a few seconds, the mobile phone received another message: Hello, Dear Rider, you have confirmed to deliver the order with order number 401299832. The recipient is Miss Chen, contact information: 1390100XXXX, go to 'Shaxian Snacks Yuhong Road Road Store 'To pick up meals, please obey the traffic rules and pay attention to safety when riding. "
The master stepped into the elevator, handed the mobile phone to the reporter, and said, "Look, I have confirmed the order now."
The reporter looked at the text message carefully and said in surprise: "The wording of your company's text message is really very humane!"
The master smiled and said, "I don't know what humanistic care is, but every time I receive a text message, I feel very comfortable."
The reporter asked: "Then you are going to run this order next, right?"
"Yes." The master nodded and said, "We will go to this Shaxian snack next."
The reporter asked curiously: "Can you remember so many restaurants in your service area? What if you don't know the location?"
This is indeed one of the biggest drawbacks of not having a smartphone. The rider cannot view the map through the mobile phone in real time, and his coordinates cannot be simultaneously transmitted to the cloud and presented to the user in real time.
However, this is also impossible. Li Mu also wants to give each of them a smartphone, but behind this is a huge project, not only to develop the system, develop the hardware, but also customize the software, and also need a stable and fast network. Transmission, moreover, requires a full-fledged set of digital map data.
At present, there is no good way to solve these problems in one step. The only thing that can be distributed to the riders is an ordinary blue-screen mobile phone, so what Li Mu can do is let the team customize a "restaurant map" for the riders.
At this time, the rider who delivered the food also took out the "restaurant map" from his pocket and said, "This has the detailed location and contact information of all restaurants starting from the number YJ000001. If I don't know where this restaurant is located, Where, you can search on it according to the restaurant number provided in the text message, and you can find the specific house number and the reminder of the nearby landmarks, if you still can't find it, you can call the restaurant for consultation."
The reporter took over the small book and found that this kind of small book the size of a palm is not a bound book, but a detachable activity book.
Each sheet of paper in the book is perforated and fixed by a buckle. The buckle can be opened, and each sheet of paper inside can be easily taken out.
The reporter asked curiously: "By the way, what if there is a new restaurant that has no information on it?"
The master smiled and said: "The company has considered it. When we check in at the service station every morning, the company will print a card with the newly added restaurant information for us, and we can just put it in."
The reporter nodded suddenly and said, "Your company is really thoughtful."
"Yes." The master said with a smile: "The company takes care of our little reading, so everything is simple. You can see that all the confirmation text messages only require us to reply numbers and symbols. Many of our riders do not know pinyin. If it is still a little difficult to answer the words, it is too easy to answer the numbers, anyone can do it, even a three-year-old child can do it.”
At this time, the elevator reached the first floor, and the rider quickly walked out of the office building in a hurry.
The reporter trotted all the way and said at the parking lot, "Master, I'm sorry to delay your time, we have one last question."
The master hurriedly asked, "Please tell me."
The reporter asked: "The car you are riding is also equipped by the company, right? I think it is electric, how long can it last?"
The master said, "I rode for about 70 kilometers yesterday, and it reminded me that the battery was about to run out."
The reporter asked again: "How to solve the problem of no power? Do you want to find a place to charge?"
The master said: "If you run out of electricity, go back to the service station. There are charged batteries that can be replaced directly. If you sign a letter, you can get a new one, and you can run for dozens of kilometers. There are chairs at the service station to rest. If there is nothing. Orders, if you don’t want to run for the time being, you can also send a text message to the system. For example, if I want to take a three-hour break before taking an order, I will reply with a 3#180, and the system will suspend my order dispatch for three hours, and I can return to the service. Stand and rest for a while."
