Winning the new financial era

Chapter 85 The Bicycle Story

The unveiling ceremony of the Peking University Young Entrepreneurs Association was grandly held today.

Zhang Yida was also invited to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony. In addition, he also wanted to mention an honorary certificate of the vice president unit of the association, which cost 10 yuan.

He was originally going to be elected as the president, but he didn't agree. He felt that there were enough things and he didn't want to be distracted anymore, and his age and qualifications were not good enough.

So I handed over the 20 yuan membership fee to the senior brother - Yiyindai CEO Tang Lin.

Other vice-chairman units include Renren Youxin, Meilihua, Wandoujian, Honey Baby, Tiaogou.com and more than ten enterprises.Each family also has a membership fee of 10 yuan.

In addition, there are more than 5 governing units, all of which are medium-sized enterprises that have obtained financing, with a membership fee of [-] yuan each.

The most common members are ordinary members. There are more than 1 companies. They are all entrepreneurs from Beijing University.

According to the last statistics, there are 162 member units with a membership fee of 468 million yuan.

Tang Lin, as the chairman, spoke in the conference room of the hotel and said:

"Today, 162 of our companies have established the Jingda Youth Enterprise Association here. In the days to come, I hope that all entrepreneurs, brothers and sisters, sisters and sisters will watch and help each other...

In addition, regarding membership fees, the association spends in two parts.

First of all, the association will rent an office of 200 square meters in Zhongguancun as the residence of the association.

Then hire 3-5 people to take care of the affairs of the association, coordinate the resources of various enterprises in the association, and strive to let everyone share resources and cooperate for a win-win situation.

In addition, the balance of membership fees will be added to the "Enterprise Assistance Fund" of the association.

If any member companies encounter difficulties later, they can apply for assistance from the assistance fund...

Above, all accounts will be published, and the financial statements will be sent to the mailboxes of each member company every quarter.

All operating procedures of the association are open and transparent..."

After Tang Lin finished his speech, the audience applauded like a wave.These operating rules are also added one by one after a lot of discussion.

According to everyone's point of view: since we want to make this association, we must do it well.It cannot be superficial, but formal.

It is necessary to effectively help every enterprise, so that every enterprise can gain something in this association.

Only in this way can the association operate more steadily and for a long time.

Tang Lin's speech was rather dogmatic, and what he said was also the rules and regulations of the association, member obligations and responsibilities.

When it was Zhang Yida's turn to speak on stage, the content was relatively free, and he was allowed to play.

When Zhang Yida came to the stage, he first greeted everyone in the audience, "Hello, senior brother and sister!"

There is nothing wrong with this statement, and it is true that there is no senior brother or sister here, and it will take two months until September before he can be promoted to senior brother.

Zhang Yida went on to say:

"I started my business not long ago, so I don't talk about management and strategy with you, it would be too tricky.

I am working on a poverty alleviation loan project recently, and I will tell you about this. "

Then Zhang Yida told everyone about the Grameen model and Sannong loans.Enterprises with resources in this area are called upon to expand their business in rural areas and drive farmers to become rich.

For example, building raw material processing plants in rural areas, rural e-commerce, procurement of agricultural products, planting bases, breeding bases, etc. are related to rural development.

Some entrepreneurs in the audience were motivated and planned to contact Zhang Yida after the meeting. The rural business still had something to do with their enterprises.

Then everyone has a letter Yang Yihu, Honey Baby Liu Lan, Meihuahua Xu Yi and more than a dozen vice presidents also took the stage to speak, and made some introductions on the company's own business or expressed some opinions on the company's management and development strategy.

The inaugural meeting of the association ended successfully, and when Zhang Yida was about to leave, a tall, thin boy with glasses called out to him.

"Mr. Zhang, please stop!"

Zhang Yida looked back and saw something familiar.asked:
"You are……"

"I'm Dai Wei, a graduate student in economics at Guanghua College." Dai Wei first introduced himself, and then said:
"I have established a bicycle company with a few alumni, and I would like to invite Mr. Zhang to visit and give us some suggestions."

Now Zhang Yida knew who he was, his name, face, and bicycle company, all of a sudden they matched.

"Fof bike sharing founder, Daiwei."

Zhang Yida suppressed the surprise in his heart, shook hands with Dai Wei calmly, and said:

"You are senior brother, you can just call me Zhang Yida. Where is your company? Let's go and have a look together.

Suggestions are out of the question, everyone can chat and communicate with each other! "

"Okay! Then I'll call you Yida. Our company is in the third phase of China World Trade Center. Shall we go there now?"

Dai Wei was a little overjoyed, thinking that the invitation would be rejected, but he didn't expect Zhang Yida to be so easy-going, and he didn't have any pretensions when he became famous at a young age.

After saying hello to Tang Lin and the others, Zhang Yida and Dai Wei left together.

After arriving at the parking lot, Dai Wei looked at Zhang Yida's volcanic ash Panamera and exclaimed:
"This car is really good, the waistline of the body looks good!"

"Hehe, you can buy whatever you want. In the capital city, there is traffic jam every day, and it's not as convenient as the subway!"

Zhang Yida also lightly pretended to be aggressive.

After the two got into the car, Dai Wei said after the co-pilot felt the leather seat for a while:

"It's quite comfortable. If one day I succeed in starting a business, I'll buy this car too."

Zhang Yida laughed dryly and encouraged:
"Come on! When the wind blows, pigs can fly into the sky."

Dai Wei's father is the leader of a central enterprise at the vice-ministerial level, and his family background is still very good. It is absolutely no problem to buy a car worth more than 100 million yuan.

But Zhang Yida would not foolishly ask about his family situation, after all, he had only known each other for less than an hour.

Zhang Yida chatted with Dai Wei while driving.

"Why did you choose to start a business in the bicycle field?" Zhang Yida held the steering wheel and looked ahead at the road, and casually asked Dai Wei, the co-pilot.

"I personally like cycling and bicycles. Because of my hobby, I want to start a business in this field." Dai Wei replied looking at the non-stop traffic flow outside the window.

"That's great! I can take what I like as the direction of starting a business." Zhang Yida said with a smile.

"Bicycles are bad!

We have done online mountain bike rental, with only one order in two months; we have done financial installment for high-end bicycles, and sold a total of 5 vehicles; we have done a second-hand bicycle trading platform..."

Dai Wei began to complain to Zhang Yida, listing the past entrepreneurial projects.Without exception, all failed.

"It's all too low-frequency, and there's no way to scale it up!" Zhang Yida concluded.

"Yeah, the transaction frequency is too low. It's almost impossible to survive." Dai Wei said with emotion.

"Is it true that bicycles are products that have been eliminated with the development of social times?

Otherwise, I have done so many projects, how come none of them are done? "

Dai Wei couldn't help but ask Zhang Yida.

"Anyway, as far as I know, Yong Yong and Phoenix have not had a good time these years.

You can try to go in the direction of high-end bicycle manufacturing. "

Zhang Yida suggested.

"High-end bicycles need to create a brand new brand, which is too difficult!
This market has always been firmly controlled by established foreign bicycle manufacturers. "

Dai Wei shook his head, absolutely this suggestion is unreliable.

Zhang Yida didn't speak, and concentrated on driving.

After a while, Dai Wei asked again:
"You said, how about cycling tourism? Rent bicycles to tourists and take them around."

"It feels like this is quite popular recently. Do you want to try in this direction?"

Zhang Yida knew that this was Daiwei's last project before starting shared bicycles, so of course it was a failure.

However, there is progress, and it is said that it has received 100 million angel round financing!

"Yeah, I think this direction combined with tourism, there should be good opportunities!"

Dai Wei looked forward to it.

"If you think you have the opportunity, do it, don't be cowardly, just do it!"

Zhang Yida cheered him on.

Dai Wei is silly, he also thinks the direction is good!Mainly lack of money, lack of investment.But I just met Zhang Yida, so I can't say it clearly.

After a while, the third phase of China World Trade Center arrived.Zhang Yida parked the car, went up to the 56th floor with Dai Wei, and arrived at their company, Beijing Baike Technology.

Walking into Bike Technology Company, Zhang Yida's first impression was "narrow and small".

Narrow means that the office area of ​​the entire company does not exceed 100 square meters.

If it is small, the whole company only looks like a dozen people.

"I'm sorry, our company has just started, so you're laughing at me." Dai Wei said shyly.

"It's okay. It's good. It has an entrepreneurial atmosphere. Ruixiang used to work in the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center, and the kind of shared office is worse than yours."

Zhang Yida waved his hands again and again, indicating that there is no problem.

Then Dai Wei introduced to everyone:

"This is the founder of Ruixiang Jinke, Mr. Zhang Yida. Mr. Zhang is also an alumnus of our Peking University. In less than a year, Ruixiang has achieved a scale of 30 billion U.S. dollars.

Now I would like to invite Mr. Zhang to tell you a few words! "

Daiwei's other four partners, including some employees, had also heard about Zhang Yida's deeds, and they all applauded.

Zhang Yida couldn't bear the enthusiasm, so he said:
"Hi, everyone! It's a great honor to come to Bike Technology to visit and study today.

Let me tell you about Ruixiang’s entrepreneurial journey!Ruixiang was established in October last year, when it was still working in the Double Innovation Center...

Later, I was lucky enough to get the US$5000 million Series A financing from Heishan Capital and Zhenke Fund, and Ruixiang was on the right track step by step...

With funds later, Ruixiang started product research and development in multiple fields such as mobile payment, credit management, and financial technology...

Along the way, my biggest feeling is that entrepreneurs must have tenacity and the courage not to admit defeat.

Seeing Bike Technology is like seeing the original sharp direction.

Come on, everybody!Here I wish the development of Bike Technology is getting better and better! "

After Zhang Yida finished speaking, everyone applauded.Dai Wei called the other four alumni founders to the conference room and introduced them to Zhang Yida one by one.

Several people sat together and chatted about cycling travel.Zhang Yida now has a clearer understanding of their entire team and business.

After the chat was almost over, Dai Wei looked at Zhang Yida with a smile and asked:

"Yida, speak from your heart, what do you think of our project?"

"I think it's okay, that is, we must pay attention to the safety of customers riding during the operation process, so as not to cause any accidents."

Zhang Yida truthfully suggested that in the last life, it seemed that there was a safety accident because of tourists riding, which made the cycling project of Bike Technology difficult to produce.

"Well, riding safety is a point that must be paid attention to during the operation process. We will pay more attention to this." Dai Wei also nodded, feeling that Zhang Yida's suggestion was very pertinent.

Then Dai Wei asked with hope again:

“Aside from riding safety, what do you think about the prospect of this project?
Do you want to invest in it? "
