Chapter 517 Qixuan Bicycle - Set Sail
Dong Chiqing's funds were quickly secured, totaling 18 million in cash, and only accounted for 45% of the company's shares.
This is undoubtedly a severe stimulus to Zhao Di's team. It also means that Qixuan's valuation has reached 40 million, and the technology stocks Shi Lei promised to them have been reduced to 100% by Dong Chiqing, the major shareholder. Two point five, but that still means that the technology stocks in their hands are already worth one million.
Zhao Di and others, who already have an understanding of the entire project, also deeply understand that the valuation of this company will increase with the progress of the project in the future, and will be valued at hundreds of millions or even higher after one year. It’s not a dream at all. This also means that all their technology stocks will be liquidated after two years stipulated in the contract, at least over ten million, or even...
Zhao Di and his team no longer dare to think about it.
All along, they were just wage earners with an annual salary of more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan. They had never thought about settling down in Wudong, buying a house and a car. However, if they had a down payment, their salary would certainly be enough to cover the current mortgage loan. However, the down payment must be close to one million. The money they have saved for several years is still close to half of the money they have saved. Now that they see that the company's shares will become a huge sum in the near future, at least they can make it. They can handle the down payment calmly, and these people are also very motivated.
The sample bicycle has also come out. After testing by the company's internal personnel, its durability is comparable to that of a barbell. Yao Er's design of this bicycle particularly highlights the strong features. Anyway, it is only a temporary means of transportation for short distances. It needs to be easy to operate, it just needs to be not easy to damage.
The cost of a single bicycle, although the materials used are far higher than that of ordinary bicycles, is the cheapest. In the end, it was more than 200 yuan per unit. Yao Er placed an order for 10,000 units with the manufacturer.
Although not all of the payment was made, on the company's books, this meant that more than two million yuan went out directly.
And that’s just the bike itself.
The GPS positioning module is also an expense. Once the order is released, it will be calculated in millions.
Including the upfront design fees, bonuses to the two technical teams, and the company's initial expenses, in just one week, Dong Chiqing's investment of 18 million only left over 10 million. Yao Er told Shi Lei that after their bicycles are put into trial operation in colleges and universities, although they can collect a certain amount of rental fees, the money will be nothing more than a drop in the bucket, and it will not even be enough for basic maintenance costs.
According to Yao Er's calculations, the daily maintenance cost of each bicycle in the college is at least one yuan and fifty cents. As for the bicycles that will be put into the city in the next step, the daily maintenance cost of a single bicycle will be higher.
However, Yao Er asked Zhao Di’s team to modify the function of the APP and design it into two different interfaces after scanning the code under the same APP. One is to scan the QR code of a campus bicycle, which requires students' real-name authentication. They must enter their ID number and student number for double verification. After the verification is passed, the campus bicycle can be used without paying a deposit.
In the future, bicycles released in the city will not require any verification process. They only need to pay a deposit of 200 yuan to register and use them at any time.
The contact between ten universities was carried out very smoothly under the promotion of the education department, and all received support from the school without any effort.
At the end of March, the first batch of bicycles had been shipped. For this purpose, the factory set up a department in Wudong to assist in the assembly and future maintenance of Qixuan bicycles. Of course assembly is included in the order, but the next step of maintenance is another expense.
Five hundred bicycles, uniformed in bright yellow, were put into Wudong University, which was the first to need them.
As soon as the bicycle entered the university, it attracted the attention of many students. With such a eye-catching color and the words "Qixuan Bicycle" so uniformly printed on it, it was impossible not to attract attention.
The school also cooperated with the publicity. In addition to broadcasts and announcements, the campus website was also filled with advertisements for Qixuan bicycles. In fact, Yao Er also printed many promotional pages and asked some work-study students to distribute them to various places. Classes, various dormitories.
There is almost no suspense. Qixuan Bicycle became popular immediately on the Wuhan University campus.
Those students who bought cars pretended to be disdainful, but those who did not buy cars were extremely enthusiastic.
On the day of launch alone, more than a thousand students passed the real-name authentication. Regardless of whether they have used Qixuan Bicycles before, they have become one of its users.
On April Fool's Day, April 1, when Qixuan Bicycle's second batch of 500 bicycles entered another university, the number of downloads of Qixuan Bicycle APP on the Wu University campus had exceeded 6,000, and the real-name authentication The number of students who have passed has reached more than 4,000. Presumably, there is no need to wait until all ten colleges and universities are filled, and the number of registered students can easily exceed 30,000. And when all ten colleges and universities complete the trial investment, it will be the second round of new investment.
Qixuan’s number of bicycles for each college has been temporarily set at 1,000.
Shi Lei was still very leisurely. At the beginning of April, he went to find the scepter again to check how much of his quota was left this month.
In fact, it has been used up, so is the answer of the scepter. Shi Lei has even started to use his own funds. This month he spent 800,000 to repay Yu Xingjian, and another 100,000 to purchase Yu Deping's company. The remaining 100,000 was not enough to support his current use for a month.
Fortunately, Dong Chiqing allowed him to postpone the injection of the five million yuan for one month. This resulted in more than three million independent funds in Shi Lei's hands. With the help of this month's investment gold finger card, the total amount has reached more than three million eight hundred thousand. Except for the tens of thousands Yuan Shi Lei spent, he still had 3.8 million Yuan left.
Now, Shi Lei only needs to wait until the quota is refreshed in two days, and Shi Lei will be rewarded with value-for-money consumption. According to what Scepter said before, this reward will reach 1.5 million. This means that in addition to the five million that Shi Lei must inject into Qixuan, he can still have three hundred thousand left. Even more, Shi Lei can use the quota in the next quota cycle to purchase some office supplies. The gross estimate is that he can save one hundred thousand and two hundred thousand, so that Shi Lei still has close to half a million independent funds in his hand.
Two days passed quickly, and Shi Lei once again inserted the black card into the ATM of the self-service bank. He easily entered the password and waited for the scepter to appear.
"Dear scepter, can you now cash in the reward for my great value for money?" Shi Lei asked frivolously.
The scepter snorted and answered sternly: "If the second-level employee completes a four-star value-for-money consumption within this quota period, he can receive the difference of 1.5 million yuan in soft sister coins as a reward. But because the second-level employee The value-for-money consumption of a grade-level employee is suspected of investment, so..."
Shi Lei became anxious when he heard this: "Fuck me, don't tell me that the reward for this consumption will be halved!" Shi Lei was not worried about the money, but mainly because he was worried that once the reward was halved, he would have to find a way to make up for it. Five million.
The scepter cursed impatiently: "Stupid groundhog, don't interrupt what I am saying. You just need to listen carefully now."
Seeing that Shi Lei didn't speak again, Scepter continued: "Since the second-level employee's valuable consumption is suspected of investment, the second-level employee needs to complete the task assigned by a black card before he can receive this reward."
