Reborn fashion designer

Chapter 659 Commander Ma writes a research report to Xiang Yang
Hang up the phone.

Staring at the screen in front of her, Bi Shaffer took a deep breath.

The shared bicycles proposed by Xiangyang are different from the public bicycle system, and their commercial purpose is clearly stated.

Quickly search through computer.

Bi Shafer briefly understood it.

Since the late 20s, new types of public bicycle systems have emerged, thanks to the development of electronics, information integration, wireless communications and Internet technology.

Its systematic management approach has also undergone fundamental changes compared to its previous operating model.

These can all be found on the website.

If you want to understand it in detail, you still need to do in-depth research.

After sitting in the conference room and thinking about it, Bi Shaffer called Macron.

Some people are easy to deal with.

When she explained the purpose of the call, Macron gave a direct answer.

JCDecaux Corporation.

The full name is JCDeceaux.

It is the largest airport and outdoor advertising operator in Europe today. They spend 900 million euros each year on related services, plus 300 million in franchise advertising funds to obtain this public service.

In addition to bicycle body advertisements, the company also owns the operating rights of 1628 billboards across Paris.

Total annual revenue is around 3000 million euros.

In the public bicycle sector, in addition to charging membership fees and short-term rental fees, the company also provides compensation in the event of bicycle damage, loss or overdue use.

"Thanks. When my boss comes back, I'll ask him to treat you to a meal." After receiving such detailed information, Bi Shaffer naturally expressed his gratitude with a smile.

It must be said that the President’s economic advisor is still somewhat useful.

"Are you ready to bid for this business?" Macron asked without hanging up the phone.

"That's not the case. He wants to promote this plan in China." Bi Shafer felt that there was no need to hide anything from Xiangyang's friend.

Macron said, "Oh," and then said, "Wait a minute, I'll call you tonight."

"Okay, thank you."

Thanks again, Bea Schaffer.

After hanging up the phone, Macron began to look for his own contact list.

According to Bi Shaffer, this Chinese city had visited Paris before, so there must be detailed records of the docking department.

It was easy for him to look up information in this area.

Soon, he retrieved the records of the Chinese representatives' inspection from the archives, including not only those from Hangzhou, but also those from Beijing and Shanghai.

The time points are all before the 08 Beijing Olympics.

But what surprised him was that Hangzhou still had records of connecting with Paris on this public project.

But it is no longer available in Beijing and Shanghai.

This result made him frown.

"Help me find the contact number of Degao Company."

Not knowing where the problem lay, and rashly calling the relevant contact information in China was not appropriate, Macron, who wanted to help his friend, had to contact this French company.

It only takes one day.

Apart from the documents and information involving business secrets, Macron basically found everything else Xiangyang needed.

After combing through the file system, he said that this was not a profitable business.

The core issue is cost.

That is, cost-effectiveness.

But considering that Xiangyang wants to promote this public service, it is to publicize the company's brand awareness and reputation.

The cost-effectiveness and input-output ratio issues with not-so-significant profits can be ignored.

Besides, the prices in China are not as expensive as in France, right?

And more importantly.
“Colleges and universities.”

Macron clicked his tongue as he packed the documents into a bag.

Xiangyang is a guy with really surprising ideas.

The best place to place this kind of public facilities is in large public parks and campuses.

First, it can avoid cumbersome legal procedures and avoid infringing on the rights of others to legally use the right of way.

Secondly, it can also avoid huge waste of economic resources.

Thirdly, it can also demonstrate the company’s good social responsibility.

Fourthly, by focusing on a small scale, it can also avoid excessive commercial cost investment.

五来
As he thought, Macron wrote down his conclusions on a piece of paper.

That's how it is between friends.

Xiangyang invited him to drink, and he wrote a research report as a gift to his friend.

After all, that's what he does.

If your friend really wants to do it, instead of spending money to hire someone to write it, it’s better to just do it while you’re at it.

After finishing writing, Macron called Bi Shaffer again and arranged a time to hand over the stack of documents to her on his way home.

Xiang Yang was very surprised when he heard the news: "What did you say? Macron wrote a research report for me?"

"Yeah, I see it's written in great detail." Bi Shaffer smiled happily, which saved her a lot of effort. "Boss, he said you have to treat him to a big dinner when you come back."

"no problem."

Xiang Yang agreed straightforwardly, and at the same time reminded him: "Please keep his handwritten documents for me."

I'll keep it for framing later.

After muttering to himself, Xiang Yang then instructed: "Scan what he wrote and send it to my email, as well as Axel's."

"it is good."

Well, I have to work overtime again.

After hanging up the phone, Xiangyang looked at the steak in front of him and the smile on his face became even happier.

He knew that this could be done.

"Mr. Xiang, what's the good news?" Ding Zhong asked curiously.

"Mr. Ding, it seems that you have to do the shared bike business whether you want to or not." Xiangyang said, and skillfully cut a small piece of the steak in front of him and put it into his mouth.

If the research report written by the future President of France is completed, Lao Ding will have more things to talk about in front of Macron in the future.

Who knows, Macron, who is very proud, may even thank Ding Zhong at that time.

"Do it. I didn't say I wouldn't do it."

Ding Zhong smiled.

Xiangyang gained something, and he also kept his assistant busy when he accompanied him on a tour of the data center.

Wang Qingtuo.

It sounds like a person's name, but it is actually the name of a small town that is not well known to outsiders. It is the first time he has heard of it.

This town is a port city next to Shangjing. The information he got from various sources surprised even a clothing dealer like him.

All you need are drawings, and you can get hundreds of spare parts needed in the bicycle industry chain, including saddles, handlebars, front forks, frames, rims, etc.

From production to assembly, integrated service.

If Xiangyang's plan was followed and he only placed bicycle orders for each higher education institution, it would not be enough to keep the largest companies in this small town busy.

Of course, the bicycles produced here are completely different from the one Xiangyang lost.

The two also have different uses.

This results in a huge difference in both material craftsmanship and final sales price.

To say whether bicycles have any technological content.

There must be some.

If you want to achieve a high-quality balance among the important factors of lightness, strength, ergonomics and comfort, research and development will definitely cost money.

But this is not what "shared bicycles" are pursuing.

That is, considering that the effect of use must bring positive feedback to the brand, the cost still needs to be taken into consideration.

Especially the vehicle life design.

And car locks.

Ding Zhong is very worried about this.

Don’t let the bicycles deployed in colleges be lost within two days, that would be no fun.

After learning a little about why Amsterdam's "White Bike Plan" failed, he expressed some concerns about this.

The prevalence of bicycle loss in Europe is also quite high.

"I will ask Garmin to help us design a built-in GPS." Xiangyang had no idea in this regard.

How to prevent theft is obviously also a headache.

Of course, this is for businesses.

Rather than targeting users.

"When we discuss this issue with colleges and universities, we should try to limit the scope of cycling to within the campus," Ding Zhong suggested.

"Well, yes."

Xiang Yang nodded.

Although it is not clear what the final cost will be, it will definitely not be as cheap as ofo.

"We can contact the insurance company to see if we can buy insurance, which will minimize our losses."

After taking another bite of steak, Xiangyang added some more.

Ding Zhong felt that this proposal was natural.

I just don’t know which domestic insurance company will undertake this kind of service.

I guess the results calculated by the actuary will not be pleasing.

"Mr. Xiang, do you think we should look for some subsidies?"

"Forget about the subsidies." Xiang Yang shook his head. "It might be better if we treat it as a public welfare project. However."

With a smile, Xiang Yang said, "I'll send you an email later. You can take a look. There is an operating model of a company in Paris that is worth our reference."

"Really?"

Ding Zhong couldn't help but feel that Xiangyang's actions were fast.

After dinner, when he came to Xiangyang's room and looked at the information Annabella had printed out, he immediately understood why Xiangyang didn't seek subsidies.

Bicycles must have a docking station.

That means a carport.

As long as they can get the consent of the universities, it is equivalent to HYS, FILA and Anta getting the advertising version for free.

And it’s long-term.

"Mr. Xiang, why don't we discuss it with Wanda. The venues involved in their cultural and tourism projects are large enough." Ding Zhong said with a smile, his eyes shining.

Xiang Yang shook his head: "Why don't we do it first, and then talk to them."

"Haha, it seems I didn't think enough." Ding Zhong said self-deprecatingly.

Xiangyang shrugged and was about to say something when the phone in his pocket rang.

"Excuse me, Mr. Ding, I need to take a call." The private phone call that reached Xiangyang at this time must be from someone familiar.

Seeing clearly that it was Liu Qianqian calling, Xiangyang pursed his lips and walked into the bedroom while smiling:
"My love."

Ding Zhong smiled and lowered his head to continue reading the documents.

Macron's report is very solid.

It is obvious at first glance that it is not the work of an ordinary person, which makes him feel very satisfied. It’s just that some of the content does not quite match the actual situation in China, but it is of high reference value.

"Hello, wife, what are you doing?" Xiangyang closed the bedroom door and answered the phone.

"I just finished. I tried recording all day today." Liu Qianqian's tired voice came over. It sounded like she had been talking a lot today. "What are you doing?"

"Me, I'm in the same room with Dongdong."

Xiangyang walked to the bed with a smile and stroked the black cat lying on the soft big bed.

Lai Fu and Fan Tuan naturally had no right to enter his bedroom.

Even when you come to a hotel, this is no exception.

Hearing this, Liu Qianqian curled her lips and said, "You can live with the cat!"
"Okay, I'm not kidding you anymore. Mr. Ding and I just arrived in the Netherlands and were just discussing something."

"Ah, if you're busy, I'll call you later." Liu Qianqian said in surprise when she heard Xiangyang was busy.

"We're almost done talking about this."

Xiangyang smiled and said no, "Are you on your way home?"

Liu Qianqian hummed softly, looking at the setting sun outside the car window, which still retained a hint of yellow, and she curled her lips.

"How are Zhiyin and Muxin?"

"They are both very well behaved, but..." Liu Qianqian raised her head slightly and said softly, "I miss you."

"Do you want to or do they want to?"

"I want both."

"Then when you get home, let's video chat. I just don't know if it will lag."

"it is good."

"Okay then. I'll go find Mr. Ding and continue discussing things."

"Then you go quickly. I'm going to hang up first." When Liu Qianqian said she would hang up, she really did.

Listening to the crisp "beep beep" sound from the phone, Xiangyang licked his lips subconsciously and whispered, "Clingy fairy."

"Meow~"

Dongdong raised his head and rubbed Xiangyang's palm.

"Okay, okay, I just like the way you cling to me, okay."

"Meow~"
