Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 567 Benefiting Society
At this time, at the press conference, cameras were already set up in the audience, and many journalists were waiting to watch.
Hu Weiwei glanced at the audience. These media might be her only contribution to this press conference.
For Hu Weiwei, who was born as a journalist, dealing with the media is something he is naturally already familiar with.
Ordinary people may resist cameras, but for Hu Weiwei, working under the camera is more like a normal thing.
Even so, when she went on stage, Hu Weiwei could still feel a tangible pressure on her heart, causing her to involuntarily take a deep breath to calm herself down.
Part of this pressure came from Zhou Dongsheng's appreciation. After all, the investor was so optimistic about her and made additional investments "without asking for anything in return". While Hu Weiwei was grateful from the bottom of her heart, she naturally also felt a little pressure.
In the past, whether in front of the camera or behind the camera, she was always a supporting role, but today she is the undisputed protagonist under the camera. After the role swap, Hu Weiwei was still a little uncomfortable.
However, in order not to disappoint investors and to ensure that her most satisfying work can be recognized by the market, she has her own reasons for having to succeed.
Thinking of this, Hu Weiwei took a deep breath to calm herself down, put on a professional smile on her face, and walked onto the stage of the press conference with firm steps.
A quick glance at the press conference revealed that besides the media cameras, there were also many witnesses, as well as the mentor who pushed me on this path, and Zhou Dongsheng, a soulmate...
“Welcome to the Mobike launch event and join me in witnessing the birth of this special bike. This is also a gift from our team to the city…”
Standing in front of the camera, Hu Weiwei seemed to have activated her professional qualities. She spoke the story very easily and demonstrated her ability to control the situation with ease.
"As a migrant worker in Beijing, I have personally experienced the pain of daily commuting. I have to say it is never a pleasant experience, with long and boring waiting times, from the bus to the subway.
It was like sardines in a can, squeezed to death. The most painful part was getting off the subway and walking to work. Even though it was only a few hundred meters, it was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, making the fatigue infinitely magnified..."
"I've been commuting for more than two hours a day for a long time. As a journalist, I rely heavily on my legs when traveling all over the country. So I often fantasize about having a Conan solar skateboard, which would naturally solve my commuting problems..."
Hu Weiwei humorously made a harmless little joke, which caused good-natured laughter from the audience, but some older audience members obviously did not understand the meaning of this sentence.
As working people themselves, the audience who watched the live broadcast through the live streaming platform could naturally empathize with the pain of commuting.
As a result, the number of comments in the live broadcast room also increased sharply.
"The solar skateboard is not that great. After all, it can't be used at night. As a worker, I haven't seen the sunset for a long time..."
"Woo woo woo, the defense is broken, brothers"
"Compared to solar panels, I still think bamboo dragonflies are more practical"
"I can open a door anywhere. When I go out, I'm at work. When I go back in, I'm home."
"I sleep directly in the office, completely solving the commuting problem!"
"Scabs get out of here!"
…
"This idea is naturally unrealistic, so I settled for the next best thing, which is to have a bicycle that can be used anywhere at any time. Although it cannot solve the commuting problem, it can greatly alleviate the pain caused by commuting..."
After some preparation, Hu Weiwei went straight to the point, "With this idea in mind, I formed the Mobike team. After more than a year of research and development, the Mobike we finally unveiled is our answer..."
At the same time, a silver and orange Mobike bicycle had already been placed on the stage. As Hu Weiwei introduced it, everyone's attention was focused on the bicycle.
Hu Weiwei repeated the same old tune, emphasizing several technological highlights of Mobike's bicycle bodies. With the help of the live broadcast platform and media cameras, she conducted a round of popular science for some viewers who had not heard of the technology.
After finishing speaking, Hu Weiwei changed the subject, "Such a high-tech bicycle, the cost of each bicycle alone is more than 3,000 yuan, but we made so many of them, of course not to sell them..."
"As I said before, this is a gift from our team to the city. It is also the answer to solving the 'last mile' commuting problem for the majority of workers . We will continue to manufacture bicycles and put them on the streets..."
"At that time, everyone only needs to spend half an hour and a dollar to enjoy the fun of riding for a short time. You can use it anytime, anywhere, and change the city with riding!"
Hu Weiwei's words were powerful and she calmly explained the concept of Mobike, while also announcing the official launch of Mobike.
Although the oft-owned yellow bike has taken over universities in Beijing and is heading into the national university market, the decision to focus on developing the campus market has prevented the oft-owned yellow bike from gaining widespread public recognition.
At the same time, the concept of "bike sharing" is still new and unfamiliar to the public, so when Hu Weiwei finished speaking, most of the audience found it difficult to understand the motivation and purpose behind it...
After all this effort and fanfare, is the only thing they do is put these expensive bicycles on the streets and provide cheap rental services?
What’s the difference between this and renting a small boat or renting bicycles for three people in a scenic area?
Although most netizens think that selling Mobike bikes at 3,000 yuan is also a thankless task, it may still be able to sell a few hundred bikes to make a profit.
But now they don’t even sell it, they just rent it out, and at a price that is almost free. How long will it take to get a payback?
No matter how you look at it, this is a losing business that only makes money but gains publicity, or even loses everything. For this kind of thing...
The audience can only say: Well done! The more fools like this who benefit society, the better. Otherwise, how can they take advantage of others?
At the same time, the audience couldn't help but start to get excited and actively sent comments asking where they could find such a "free" bicycle to ride. I must ride this flirty little slut to death!
"At present, due to the limited funds of our team, we are unable to achieve full coverage of society, but a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. We are ready to start from Shanghai and take the first step of Mobike..."
"At that time, everyone only needs to scan the code with their mobile phone and pay a small deposit to obtain the right to use Mobike and enjoy the fun of riding as much as they want..."
At this time, the audience in Shanghai couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority. Just because of the uniqueness of this bicycle in the country and the scarcity of the only one in Shanghai, they had to go to the streets to experience the uniqueness of this bicycle.
Then take some photos and videos and post them online to show off. Some people may think that a bicycle is not worth showing off, but if this bicycle is only available in Shanghai, then it will naturally have the capital to show off...
It’s just like when you travel to a place, you must take photos with the landmark buildings, otherwise it would be a waste of time.
