Chapter 674 Flash Mob (Congratulations to Xi Mingz for Their Second Alliance)
Qu Jing's technical staff had some difficulties regarding Shi Lei's objection to the unsightly design of the power bank.
They make charging piles, and their main technical strength is charging technology. For semi-permanent things like charging piles, aesthetics have never been a concern. Therefore, they have no colleagues who are good at product design.
Shi Lei could only go into battle personally and found a company that specialized in design and asked them to make several plans.
When I took the plan to discuss with the technical staff of Qujing Company, I encountered unanimous opposition from them.
The reason is very simple. According to the plan brought by Shi Lei, it looks good, but it is not applicable.
The internal structure of electronic products, even if it is just a battery, needs to be properly matched. According to Shi Lei's unconstrained appearance design plans, some even deviate from the traditional power bank, which must have a brick-like structure. how to do? It's flashy.
They put forward their own opinions. Shi Lei didn't understand this, so he said matter-of-factly: "Then reduce the battery capacity. If the battery capacity is small, can the power bank be much lighter?"
"Other companies' power banks are eager to increase the capacity to 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. Mr. Shi, you asked us to reduce the capacity. Can this still be used for charging?"
Shi Lei blurted out: "Our power bank does not need a large capacity. It is a shared device and the demand is short-term and fast. We do not want customers to hold this power bank for a long time. Your thinking is too wrong. You just While designing the most traditional product, the particularity of this product was ignored.”
The technicians looked at each other in confusion, but Qu Jing immediately understood what Shi Lei meant.
"More changes of hands and more times of use can lead to more data and more returns. Therefore, what shared power banks need is not large capacity, but forcing customers to borrow and return quickly. It's a beautiful name. It says it helps customers save money, but it actually increases the number of product conversions.”
Shi Lei waved his hand and said: "I'm confused by your professional terms. I only judged based on the data of bicycles in our city. The charging method I set for the power bank is also based on time. Only in this way can customers Before the power bank runs out of power, it will be returned. The use of urban bicycles is calculated based on thirty minutes, and every thirty minutes is one yuan. I plan to do the same with the power bank. One yuan for thirty minutes Qian, in these thirty minutes, using our fast charging technology, current mainstream mobile phones with battery capacities between 3,000 and 4,000 mAh can obtain more than 30% of the power. Our products solve What is urgent is that it is not really necessary to fully charge it. This means that our power bank actually only needs to have a capacity of around 2,000, or even lower. The main focus is fast charging technology. Rather than asking customers to take a behemoth off our shelf."
At this time, the technical staff completely understood it. Then they looked at the design plan brought by Shi Lei. After a little study, they all said that there was no problem.
"Then I'll trouble a few of you and come up with some designs. The team I've hired will be in place in about a week, and I hope to take over your designs by then. When the company is established, I'll give you a big red envelope. "
Several designers were polite, but they all smiled. Of course they understood that the big red envelope that Shi Lei mentioned was certainly not small.
Four days later, the design was released. There were three designs this time. Shi Lei was finally satisfied with the appearance. What he wanted was this kind of thin, light and good-looking power bank. The colors will be enriched in the later stage, and this in itself is a product that is enough to attract the attention of pedestrians.
A few days later, the team that Yao Er helped Shi Lei find was finally in place.
At this time, Shi Lei had completed six inquiries and four transactions using the Investment Gold Finger Card, and his independent funds had exceeded 8 million.
When renting office space, it was a coincidence that Qixuan only rented half of the floor where Qixuan's Imperial Capital Branch was located, and the remaining half belonged to another company.
That company was also a startup, and their product was completely eliminated by the market. The founders persisted for several months, and finally ended the company and went their separate ways. Before leaving, a sublet sign was put up. Shi Lei saw it and immediately made an appointment to buy the other half of the floor at a price without any premium.
They didn't want those office supplies anymore. They were originally going to throw them away to the waste recycling company, but now it was better. They just gave them to Shi Lei at the same price as the scraps. Shi Lei got another bargain.
Shi Lei still has 500,000 yuan in his hand. He has used some of it these days and still has about 300,000 yuan left.
As for those office supplies, the other party said that Shi Lei could keep them for 100,000 yuan. These office supplies included thirty computers. These alone, even if they were second-hand goods, already cost far more than 100,000 yuan. What's more, their company actually has several server-level computers, plus the decoration, office desks and chairs, etc., Shi Lei really got a big deal.
So Shi Lei used the quota to pay. He could have used the quota to pay for the office supplies part of his independent investment.
Moreover, this is another value-for-money purchase, but this value-for-money purchase is probably only a one-star rating at most.
But no matter how small the mosquito was, it was still flesh, so Shi Lei had no reason to let it go.
This was the first time that Shi Lei personally built the foundation of a company. He finally got everything done before the technical team arrived. Shi Lei was very satisfied with this.
After discussing it with Wei Xingyue, the company named it flash, which corresponds to fast charging technology, and flash itself means electricity. The most important thing is that the word flash itself is a popular word.
This product was naturally called a pop-up. Shi Lei brought all the materials and went to the industrial and commercial office for preliminary registration. Then, Wei Xingyue came to the Imperial Capital and agreed with Qu Jing on the company's shareholding.
In the end, the investment in the entire company was set at 20 million, and Qu Jing promised to continue to provide supplementary fast charging technology, but did not provide any technical personnel, in exchange for 15% of the shares. On Qu Jing's end, the most important thing is to ensure the production and manufacturing of power banks and charging bases.
Shi Lei invested five million and obtained 35% of the shares. Wei Xingyue invested 12 million and obtained 50% of the controlling shares.
The company promised to give the technical team 5% of the technology shares, but it would not be given to them now, but after the company raised Series B. At that time, the five percent of the shares will be shared among all shareholders in proportion to their shareholdings.
Qu Jing was still a little uncomfortable with the sudden appearance of a major shareholder, but when Shi Lei told her that she and Wei Xingyue were lovers, Qu Jing was relieved. To put it bluntly, except for her 15% of shares, the remaining 85% of the shares belong to Shi Lei. How Shi Lei wants to distribute these shares is his problem.
After it was confirmed that Wei Xingyue would be the chairman of the company and Shi Lei would be the CEO, Qu Jing had no doubts at all.
But she didn't know that Shi Lei, the CEO, would probably retire from the stage soon, but would still maintain his role as an investor.
Thanks to leader Ximingz for the reward, I will give you more
