Chapter 8 Pain Points
Taking another breath, Chen Yue raised his head and said, "Then, I need to first understand the details of the company's project, including business model and operation process, so that I can plan the human resources according to my needs."
Damn it, if I hadn't had my pockets empty, I would have left immediately. Forget it, just treat it as a living expenses and take it for a while. At least I have to get a monthly salary. If I can't, I'll withdraw it if I don't have to!
"Okay," Feng Yajin didn't realize that his first employee almost ran away. He stood up and walked to the whiteboard in the corner, picked up a whiteboard pen and said, "I'll tell you about our business model first."
As he said that, he wrote down a few nouns on the whiteboard, namely the Internet, logistics, express delivery, the last mile, community, and e-commerce.
Chen Yue saw these and had a general impression in his heart.
When I came last time, Mr. Feng simply introduced that the company's project was Internet and logistics, but there were no ones behind it. Now the whiteboard should be his complete model.
These words can be combined with each other to form multiple business models, but how to design depends on how Director Feng explained it.
Feng Yajin took a pen, pointed to a line of nouns on the whiteboard, and circled the express delivery and the last kilometer first.
Then he said, "From last year to this year, the government has repeatedly proposed to solve the problem of last kilometer delivery of express delivery. It may only take one or two days from the delivery to the destination, but it also takes one or two days from the site to the consignee. If the consignee is not at home or is not available, it may take longer. This is the most troublesome point in the logistics industry chain, the problem of last kilometer delivery,"
As he said that, he looked at Chen Yue and smiled, "In business, we can call any problem that causes trouble to society and urgently needs to be solved, and every pain point is a hot topic!"
Chen Yue also stood up at this time, holding the notepad in his hands, nodding and said, "I understand this. Because there is a difficult dilemma for the city, Cheng Wei founded DiDi. Because CBD white-collar workers went downstairs to eat for too long, or often missed meals because of overtime work, so they became hungry or not, and the pain points mean business opportunities."
There is one thing he didn't say, and solving pain points also takes time. Without the popularity of the mobile Internet [Novels of Nameless], neither of the two cases he just mentioned were possible.
"That's right," Feng Yajin pointed him with a pen approvingly, saying, "The delivery of the last mile of logistics is also such a pain point. In response to this pain point, major logistics companies have proposed their own solutions. Some have built drones to deliver goods, while others have built multiple sites, setting up sites at the entrance of the community, or even in the community, in order to deliver the package to the consignee as soon as possible.
Just last month, several major express companies joined hands with Glp, the largest industrial park service provider in China, to jointly establish a smart express cabinet project company, which will deliver the smart express cabinet to the community and major commercial areas and industrial parks, so as to complete the connection between couriers and consignees in the last mile. At present, these three are the solutions adopted by the company, and we have proposed the fourth solution beyond them,"
Speaking of this, he turned around and circled the two nouns Internet and logistics with a pen, and then said, "The Internet plus logistics, and the use of express crowdsourcing can not only solve the problem of the last mile, but also maximize the intervention of same-city distribution, forming another opportunity!"
"Express delivery crowdsourcing?" Chen Yue's face was obviously confused, as if he didn't understand the meaning of this noun.
Well, although he has never worked in the logistics industry and his previous companies can only be considered computer system integration, not the Internet, but he still has the ability to associate this noun.
But when you should show, you should show it when you should show it, and when you should hide your weakness, otherwise how can the boss enjoy the fun of being a role model?
Sure enough, Feng Yajin smiled slightly and said, "You have never worked in the logistics industry before, and this is also a new term. It is normal for you to not understand it. Let me explain it to you. Do you know Didi, then do you know the operating model of Didi?"
Chen Yue nodded immediately, "I know something. Didi itself is just a platform for information release and reception. One end is connected to taxi and part-time drivers, and the other end is connected to users who need to take a taxi."
Speaking of this, Chen Yue looked like he suddenly realized, looked at the whiteboard and said, "I understand that express crowdsourcing should be the same as the Didi model, using the power of the public, but turning a car into a human being only requires a mobile phone. Whether it is part-time or full-time, anyone can become a courier."
"Yes," Feng Yajin nodded in praise, "Didi is not a taxi company, but it is a taxi business. We are not a courier company, but we need to be an information platform for couriers. Through the express crowdsourcing model, all courier companies can turn anyone into their delivery staff and solve the problem of their insufficient staff.
It doesn’t matter if the consignee is not there, it doesn’t matter if he is not available. The part-time courier on our platform can help him transfer it, or deliver it at the designated time after get off work.
Not only express delivery, but also delivery in the same city. For example, if you have a document now and need to be delivered to Zhujiang New City immediately, but the fastest express company's same-day delivery may not be delivered within a limited time. At this time, you can publish tasks through our platform. If there is a user who registers our part-time courier nearby, and he is just about to go to Zhujiang New City, you can pick up your order. Even if you take the bus, it will be just over an hour.
Everyone can become a courier, everyone can also issue orders, everyone is for me and I. This is express crowdsourcing!”
Chen Yue looked suddenly enlightened and nodded repeatedly, "I didn't expect that the model of DiDi can be used in express delivery. It's really not easy for those who can think of this method!"
But I was complaining in my heart, isn’t this the errand running company that was popular for a while more than ten years ago? It was just that the Internet was underdeveloped at that time, and there was no mobile 4g, so the business volume could not be afforded. Now, in this mobile Internet era, it has changed its appearance and has also given the name of express crowdsourcing, which is nothing more than a new bottle of old wine.
Hey, don’t say it, no matter how old and new wines are, just this model, as long as you can really work hard, with Cheng Wei’s courage to take his brothers to set up stalls and promote them on the street, maybe he can really do something and attract a group of venture capitalists.
Thinking of this, Chen Yue couldn't help feeling slightly, and his idea of leaving after getting a pen salary became much weaker.
