Chapter 855 Control
"Now that I've told you, I'm not afraid of you saying it, but why I didn't say it in my speech just now and tell you now is because I don't like shared bicycles at all. Although this thing can help citizens travel,
The last mile provides some convenience, but it is not a good thing for the entire market and the entire city," Su Xing said.
"Why are you not optimistic about it because of its fund-raising properties? But in fact, it is not necessarily a bad thing. After all, as you said, shared bicycles are different from urban public bicycles. Urban public bicycles can be regarded as public welfare, but shared bicycles
It can only be regarded as a business. Since it is a business, others must want to make money. The cost of sharing bicycles must be high. After all, production and maintenance are
Management of these all requires costs. If they cannot be given enough funds to invest in other aspects, no one will be willing to do this. If they rely on urban public bicycles, they will not be able to provide citizens with many services.
Good travel assistance, I personally think that sharing bicycles is a very good thing for citizens and investors." Zhang Jin was a little confused.
"Let me tell you a story. After listening to this story, you will be able to understand why I don't like sharing bikes very much, and I don't even bother to do it." Su Xing stopped.
The three of them found a bench and sat on it.
"There is a vegetable market near my home. Uncle Wang, Uncle Li, Uncle Zhang, and other uncles sell apples. They have been selling apples for 20 years. The quality of the products is almost the same. There is competition among them, but the business is not bad.
We all have a pretty good relationship, so we basically keep the price at the same price. Although we can’t make a lot of money, everyone can make a living selling apples.”
"This year, all the uncles bought apples from the farmers for two yuan per catty, and then sold them for three yuan per catty. These uncles are all apple sellers, right?"
"Yes, didn't you mention it before? They all sell apples, and they are all familiar with each other. There is no malicious competition. They all price apples at three yuan a pound. They are very harmonious and can maintain food and clothing.
"Zhang Jin was quite patient, and did not immediately ask Su Xing how this little story had anything to do with shared bicycles, but continued to listen.
"Yes, that's right, these uncles are all selling apples and doing business in a down-to-earth manner. But at this time, a young man came to the market and he also came to sell apples, but this young man's thoughts
It is more innovative and the approach is more flexible. He has purchased better quality apples. Because his purchase volume is relatively large, the price of the apples given to him by others is also relatively low. Good quality apples also cost two yuan a pound."
"It stands to reason that if he buys apples for two yuan and sells them for three yuan, he can make money. And because of the good quality, he will definitely have higher sales volume and more profits than the uncle. But he doesn't do this.
Apples imported for 1 yuan are sold at 2 yuan per catty."
"He must have other ideas, otherwise he wouldn't be so kind. Apples cost two yuan to buy and sell for two yuan. There are also other expenses, water and electricity bills, and labor costs. These all have costs. If he does this, he
He will definitely lose money." Zhang Jin said, "Does he want to use his price advantage and financial advantage to crowd out other fruit stalls in the market, and then dominate it by himself, and finally set the price by himself?"
"Small stall hawker, fruit business, even if he squeezes people out now and others stop selling apples, when he raises the price of fruits later, the people he squeezed out will probably come back."
Su Xing shook his head, "His idea is not that simple. What customers want when buying Apple is very simple: good quality and good price.
Of course, if it is cheap, I would rather buy it from young people. But if you want to buy apples from young people, you must have a condition. They do not accept cash. You must buy a recharge card from young people. It costs 100 yuan a piece. This 100
You can spend 1 yuan on apples, and you can recharge at least 100 yuan each time in the future. If you use cash, it will cost 4 yuan per pound."
"The money in the recharge card can be used to buy apples. You can buy apples of good quality for two yuan a pound. After thinking about it, everyone agreed. So everyone in the city knows that young people here have cheap apples and good quality.
, the business in the store exploded, and there was a long queue at the door. Many customers came to buy his apples. Assuming 10,000 people came, everyone would definitely not use up all 100 yuan. Suppose one person bought it.
For a pound of apples, young people can collect 980,000 yuan just for the deposit.”
"I finally understand what you are talking about. This deposit is a bit like the deposit for shared bicycles," Zhang Jin said.
"That's right, the same thing." Su Xing nodded, "Young people have collected so much deposits, and they can get a lot of interest even if they are placed in the bank, but it is a waste to put so much money in the bank. Young people are more courageous.
It's a big place and the road is wild. I don't want to be in a bank.
He simply earned interest, so he invested the nearly 1 million yuan. This investment was relatively risky. 1 million could turn into 2 million, or all 1 million could be lost. The young man was lucky and won the investment this time.
Yes, 1 million becomes 2 million.”
"This won't work. He will definitely lose money in the long run. The higher the return, the higher the risk. The fact that 1 million funds can double into 2 million in a short period of time shows that the risk is very high. He may gain something once or twice."
In return, he can earn huge rewards, but over time he will definitely lose money." Zhang Jin said.
"Don't young people understand? He understands, but he can't stand it, and isn't this his purpose from the beginning? Use high-quality, low-price strategies to quickly gather a large amount of funds, and then use these funds
Do other things." Su Xing nodded, "He's not selling apples, he's doing finance."
"The example you gave is very good. You are indeed doing something practical. Sharing bicycles is too dangerous. And if someone really does shared bicycles and uses a deposit to provide shared bicycle services, then his purpose is not to rent a car, but to raise funds.
Then use the money to do other things. If you make a profit, it's okay to say that if you lose, the people who paid the deposit will ultimately suffer the loss." He Wenxiang nodded, "Think about it carefully, this kind of thing and this method are too harmful.
It’s too big and should be controlled.”
"It's not that easy. When shared bicycles come out, no one will think of controlling them. They will just use this method to stimulate the economy." Su Xing shook his head, "Anyway, it's not a waste of state funds. Everyone's loss is only a few dozen.
How much trouble can hundreds of dollars cause? Haha. Some people just don't like the fact that they have some savings, so they always try to dig them out to stimulate the economy. As for the people, if they have no money, they will naturally work harder.
