The diva and I cross each other

Chapter 497 High-Precision Obstacle Recognition
"Mr. Luo, I have a friend who has been in some trouble recently." Chen Sichu sat down on the chair opposite Luo Ming's desk and hesitated for a while before speaking.

Luo Ming had a strange expression when he heard this and asked subconsciously: "Could this friend you are talking about be you?"

"How. How is it possible!"

Chen Sichu's confession made Luo Ming laugh.

"Boss Luo?"

"Hehe! It's okay! Chuchu, tell me what trouble your friend has encountered first!" Luo Ming cleared his throat and said.

"Okay, Mr. Luo, it's like this, my friend has some spare money, and she thinks it's too boring to keep it in the bank, so she wants to make some investments, but she's afraid of losing money.

She investigated secretly for several months, and finally she tried to make a small investment and opened a milk tea shop in a very good location.

Her shop used the best decoration materials, and the ingredients for her milk tea were also very conscientious, but after only half a month, the shop was closed down. What do you think she should do?"

After listening to Chen Sichu's words, Luo Ming remembered that a new milk tea shop had indeed opened downstairs half a month ago, and the name seemed to be Chu Meiren.

Miss Chu, Chen Sichu, this is not right!
In Chapter 459, Luo Ming concluded that this store would not survive more than two months. Calculating the time, it was time for it to go bankrupt. However, Luo Ming did not expect that this store was actually opened by Chen Sichu.

No, at that time, this milk tea shop had not yet been named. If Luo Ming had seen the name Chu Meiren at that time, he would definitely have advised Chen Sichu to cut his losses as soon as possible.

A colleague of Luo Ming in his previous life also opened a milk tea shop in his hometown and suffered huge losses.

What’s more, what Luo Ming’s colleague opened at that time was not an ordinary milk tea shop, but a new concept milk tea shop.

The so-called new concept milk tea is a brand that combines some things with milk tea for promotion, and the best among them is Heytea.

Luo Ming’s colleague joined Shanghai Auntie, which is also a new concept milk tea.

At that time, Luo Ming advised his colleagues that it would be better to open a Mixue Bingcheng store directly. The probability of making money would be greater than that of the Shanghai aunties, and the losses would be less.

His colleague didn't listen and lost all his money.

"Ahem, how much money did your friend invest in his milk tea shop?" Luo Ming asked.

"The store is rented on an annual basis, 25 square meters + warehouse, a total of 9.2 yuan, decoration, raw materials, and miscellaneous items cost less than 6 yuan, adding up to about 15 yuan!"

"15! That's a lot for a small investment!"

"It's not that much. I specially accompanied my friend to investigate. The cost of opening a milk tea shop is generally between 8 and 10 yuan. If you join a franchise, you can save some money.

It can save trouble on things like supply, and there is also the brand effect, but the profit is greatly reduced in comparison, so my friend chose to open her own store instead of joining a franchise."

"So you want me to help your friend think of a way to revive her store?"

Chen Sichu nodded.

Luo Ming had a strange expression on his face when he heard this. He smiled and said, "Chu Chu, to be honest, it is as difficult to revive a milk tea shop as it is for our company to build a rocket to the sky."

Chen Sichu was shocked: "Boss Luo, aren't you exaggerating?"

Luo Ming shook his head. What he said was not an exaggeration at all.

In the past, with the emergence of various types of milk tea, opening a milk tea shop has become an entrepreneurial opportunity for more and more people, and some people have indeed made their first pot of gold by selling milk tea shops.

Therefore, many young entrepreneurs who have just graduated from college and are just starting out, with the hope of getting rich overnight, rush into the milk tea shop business.

Can milk tea shops make money? Actually, they can. Otherwise, why are there so many milk tea shops open?

However, it is not easy to make money in a milk tea shop. Many people, like Luo Ming’s colleague in the previous life and Chen Sichu now, enter the industry with only a little knowledge and then lose all their money.

As more and more people lost money, people gradually started to call the act of opening a milk tea shop a milk tea scam.

This name comes about because, on the one hand, too many people lose money when opening milk tea shops, and on the other hand, some milk tea companies came up with it in order to reap the franchise fees.

Milk tea shops are actually the same as coffee shops, bookstores, and flower shops. They have all been "deified" by film and television works and are the dream entrepreneurial project choice for many young people who have just graduated, especially girls.

They hope to earn their first pot of gold in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. However, the portrayal of this type of store in film and television works only shows that the years are peaceful on the surface, but in fact there are turbulent waves lurking behind it.

From the initial investigation, site selection, staff recruitment, marketing promotion, to the later product research and development and upgrades, and the continuous battle of wits and courage with dozens of similar milk tea shops around, the entire process can easily lead to being overtaken and eliminated if you are not careful.

Therefore, whether you open a milk tea shop or do anything else, you will not be eliminated by the market only if you are passionate about this industry and persist in learning and studying.

But who would open a milk tea shop just because they love it? If you love milk tea, you open a milk tea shop, and if you love cola, you open a cola processing factory?

Don’t most people open milk tea shops just to make money easily and happily?

Luo Ming organized his words and told Chen Sichu.

Chen Sichu was a little unconvinced when he heard this: "Boss Luo, if you say so, no one will make money by opening a milk tea shop?"

"I didn't say that. It's still possible for a milk tea shop to make money, but the profit ratio is too high, roughly showing a 1:9 pattern."

"What does the 19 pattern mean?"

“Less than 10% of them are truly profitable, while the remaining 90% are struggling to survive.

This is the key reason why many milk tea shop owners, although their business is booming, find themselves not making any money or even losing money after operating for a year.

The probability of making money by opening a milk tea shop is only 10%, and it is not just by getting up early and working late.

If you want to make money, you have to go through the whole process from raw material formula to marketing promotion. If there is a problem in any link, you will not be able to make money."

Chen Sichu was already in despair after hearing this. Her 15 yuan was gone just like that!

"Alright, alright! Stop looking so sad. Your store is still there, isn't it? It's been renovated, and you can get some money back if you sell it now. Just take this as a lesson learned, and don't do such stupid things again."

Chen Sichu nodded and left Luo Ming's office in a daze.

"Mr. Luo, what happened to Assistant Chen?" Li Yan, who just came in, asked curiously.

"It's okay. I lost money on the investment."

"She lost money too?"

"Also?" Luo Ming grasped the key point of Li Yan's words.

Li Yan sighed and said, "I bought two stocks, and they have been falling in the past few days. I'm nearly 100,000 gone."

"Puchi~" Luo Ming couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Boss Luo, this is not funny at all."

“I think it’s funny.”

"You should look at the document!" Li Yan handed a document to Luo Ming.

Luo Ming took a look and found that it was the test data of obstacle recognition of Zhou Haolan's image processing module.

Luo Ming took a quick look and his expression turned serious.

Zhou Haolan's image recognition module was better than he thought. The previous face recognition had already given him a big surprise, and the obstacle recognition made Luo Ming's eyes light up again.

The accuracy rate of obstacle recognition is currently 82%, but it should be noted that Zhou Haolan's image recognition module has not been trained in this aspect. In other words, this module can complete 82% of obstacle recognition by relying solely on the image background collection during face recognition training.

If it is trained intensively, obstacle recognition should be able to be improved to an accuracy of 99.9%.

Next, as long as the reaction speed can keep up, the obstacle recognition function can be directly placed on the autonomous driving system.

"Is this guy Zhou Haolan really a genius?" Luo Ming muttered to himself.

"Mr. Luo, I can't say whether Zhou Haolan is a genius or not, but his facial recognition technology is indeed excellent, far surpassing similar technologies on the market now, and it is based on AI. I think this technology has broad commercial prospects." Li Yan said.
