What Li Du didn't expect was that his movements would be a step slower after all.
Almost on the night when the Modern Bicycle APP was launched, "Jiangcheng Evening News" published an article on the headlines with the title "The Last Mile of Travel", reporting on the bicycles that spread all over the streets and alleys of the east side of Jiangcheng overnight. Little yellow car.
[These high-quality and low-priced yellow bicycles provide great convenience for the people of Jiangcheng to travel. Especially for office workers traveling by subway, the existence of shared bicycles greatly reduces commuting time. Although it remains to be seen whether these little yellow cars can facilitate people's lives as advertised, but at least for now, the vast majority of users have positive opinions on them.]
The evening of the day the Modern Cycling APP was launched.
The start-up team is gathered in the office, nervously waiting for the statistics at 12 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Although the peak of data growth has passed, there are still sporadic users paying deposits.
Finally it was 12 o'clock in the morning.
Looking at the numbers on the computer, Yu Jie, who had not slept all night, swallowed and announced to everyone in a trembling voice the results they had achieved on the first day of launch.
"A total of more than 2.2 million users have registered, and 1.7 million of them have chosen to deposit 299 yuan... So far, the deposit deposited in our accounts has reached... "
His Adam's apple moved slightly, and he continued with a trembling voice.
“… it’s reached 550 million.”
There was silence in the office.
This number has far exceeded everyone's expectations, and even completed their goals for the next stage ahead of schedule!
The silence lasted for half a minute.
With the sound of applause, it was completely broken.
And when the silence was shattered, everyone in the entire office cheered.
Done!
They succeeded!
At least we have passed the most difficult stage!
With this 500 million deposit, at least the order worth 200 million has been secured!
"What should we do now?" Zhang Tao looked at Lin Jun standing aside with a confused expression on his face.
He had never managed so much money, and he never imagined that modern cycling could achieve such a huge success.
So much so that…
There was even an unreal feeling in his heart.
"Of course we will continue to place the order," Lin Jun smiled slightly and continued, "We must move quickly and not give others time to react. When others see our success, they will definitely copy the path we have taken. I I bet that within two months, shared bicycles will be available in the streets and alleys of first-tier cities across the country. From the subway to the bus system, and then from the bus system to the community... Although we have the first-mover advantage, But we don’t have much time left.”
As he spoke, Lin Jun looked at the map aside, picked up a marker and drew a red cross on the location of Jiangcheng, and then starting from Hubei Province and heading east, he marked all the super first-tier and new first-tier cities. red circle sign.
"The next stop is Shanghai, Yanjing, Yangcheng... We will win all the super first-tier cities and new first-tier cities!"
"This 500 million yuan will be our first start-up capital. I will use 50 million yuan from it to place another 200 million yuan order with the cooperative bicycle manufacturers. At the same time, we can also talk to the manufacturers who have bid for it before, and even We should relax our standards appropriately and bring them onto our chariot."
Except that the time for settling the payment cannot be compromised, everything else is easy to say.
Yu Jie opened his mouth in shock, hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
"But... haven't we already signed an agreement with the largest bicycle manufacturer in the country?"
Lin Jun said.
"I only signed an agreement for orders from Jiangcheng."
Yu Jie still had some doubts on his face and continued hesitantly.
"But is this necessary? Manufacturers that we have already cooperated with..."
"So you still don't understand what I mean," Lin Jun sighed and said leisurely, "We are not just trying to accelerate the modern bicycle products to seize the market in first-tier cities, but there is a more important reason to seize the bicycle production capacity! If others want to come in and share the big cake we have discovered, they have to build bicycles first, right? We only need to let several major domestic bicycle manufacturers prioritize our orders, and even if they are anxious, they can only stare at it. Watch from the sidelines.”
Even if major bicycle manufacturers want to add production lines and increase production, it cannot be done in a day or two. It will take a month or two to prepare.
And having one or two months is enough for them to do a lot of things!
After listening to Lin Jun’s plan, the founding team of Modern Bicycle all had expressions of admiration on their faces.
High!
What a damn expert!
"Then if we calculate it like this... it seems that we only need to spend 100 million?" Li Pingchuan, who was in charge of finance, counted on his fingers, looked at Lin Jun with excitement and asked, "Where is the remaining 450 million? We What’s a better arrangement?”
Lin Jun smiled slightly and continued confidently.
"Actually, any arrangement will work. My idea is to contact an investment company, entrust the deposit account to the other party for management, set up a special fund account, and then instruct them to buy stocks in the supply side of the shared bicycle industry chain through this fund account and wait. Performance realization. This does not require us to do it ourselves. Those professionals know better than us how to avoid legal risks."
After hearing these words, both Zhang Tao and Yu Jie were completely convinced this time.
"With this way of playing... I feel like we don't even need the next round of financing." Zhang Tao said with emotion.
The other partners standing aside also nodded.
Originally, according to their plan, they would first use the money from the second round of financing to capture the market of the largest universities in Jiangcheng, and then start the third round of financing to promote the entire university town.
As a result, the 20 million they had now turned into a snowball of several hundred million. Not to mention, the 100,000 bicycles spread in all directions with Line 2 as the main axis, filling the entire second ring road of Jiangcheng.
Every step of the plan has been exceeded, so it seems that there is really no need to continue financing.
However, after hearing Zhang Tao's words, Lin Jun shook his head and spoke slowly.
"You are wrong. Of course financing is still needed."
"Why?" Yu Jie asked in confusion, "We already have hundreds of millions in our account... we are not short of money, right?"
Even if it wants to be promoted to other first-tier cities, these hundreds of millions of funds are more than enough.
As long as the number of users increases, a steady stream of deposits will flow into this capital pool, and there is no need to worry about a shortage of funds.
Knowing what Yu Jie was thinking, Lin Jun smiled and continued.
"Although I say that, these hundreds of millions belong to the users, not ours. After three months, there will always be users who apply for a refund of the deposit. We have to get money from other places to put this trap to the people. Fill it in."
"Besides, this cake is so big. If you try to eat it in one bite, you will only choke yourself to death. We need more partners to bundle more capital into our tank. I believe that those Internet giants will definitely be interested in this." Interested in the project."
“After all, we not only have cash flow, but also users’ travel data.”
At this moment, the entire chessboard was finally revealed in front of everyone.
Everyone standing here looked at Mr. Lin with eyes that were not just simple admiration, but admiration.
"It's unbelievable..." Zhang Tao's Adam's apple twitched, and he said with emotion, "Our Jiangda has actually produced an outstanding person like you."
"Low-key, low-key," Lin Jun coughed lightly and rubbed his nose with his index finger sheepishly, "Compared to Mr. Hao, I'm still far behind!"
After all, this project was unearthed by the boss from the beginning.
Presumably with Mr. Hao's ability, what he is thinking of now must have been thought of at that time!
Otherwise, he would not have sent himself here and given himself such a large decision-making space to freely display his skills.
Thinking of this, Lin Jun admired Mr. Hao even more.
If the pork market is just a coincidence, even such venture capital projects can win. If there is no strength at all, it is absolutely impossible!
At this time, the phone's ringtone suddenly rang.
Zhang Tao took out his mobile phone from his pocket. When he saw the caller, he couldn't help but cast a questioning look at Mr. Lin.
"It's a call from Jiangcheng Bank... Do you want to answer it?"
"Bank? It's already twelve o'clock in the evening. Why is there a call at this hour?" Yu Jie said in surprise.
"It's not surprising, after all, we are not the only ones paying attention to Modern Bicycle's operating data," Lin Jun answered Yu Jie's question with a smile, while continuing to look at Zhang Tao with ease, and continued with a smile, "Take it, but don't talk. Don't agree to anything specific on the phone. If it's the bank manager, ask someone else to call. If it's the bank manager himself, make an appointment to meet with him. "
"I will go with you then. Many things can only be discussed clearly in person."
