Looking back on 2009

Chapter 86
However, the thesis needs to be handed in at the end of the month, and Chen Zhihe is not in a hurry, just write slowly.

After guaranteeing Xu Xiaoran, he was relieved.

After receiving Chen Zhihe's reply, Xu Xiaoran beamed with joy, and quickly called Zuo Wanjia to report the good news.

On the law school side, Xu Xiaoran said that it is better to keep a low profile in the short term and go less often.

After he was free, he had a little thought about starting a business.

On Friday, Xu Xiaoran told Chen Zhihe that the matter of the car lock was on the horizon.

Through family connections, Xu Xiaoran contacted a manufacturer of bicycle locks.

After discussing it with Chen Zhihe, the two decided to take a look at it on the weekend, because the manufacturer is in Jiangcheng.

It was agreed to go there on Saturday morning, and the two got up early the next day.

Fortunately, Chen Zhihe drove the car to the school on Friday night, otherwise the two might not be able to arrive on time.

Because the manufacturer is in a remote suburb.

Considering the size of Jiangcheng, the suburbs are the real suburbs. Going from the main city is almost like going to another city.

When they arrived at the place, the two thought they had gone wrong, the surrounding area was deserted and there was only a factory building.

After getting off the car, Xu Xiaoran made a phone call with the person in charge of the other party.

After a while, the door of a blue color steel factory building opened, and a middle-aged man came out.

Seeing Chen Zhihe and Xu Xiaoran not far away, he waved his hand.

Xu Xiaoran connected with the other party, and the middle-aged man led them into the factory building.

The middle-aged man, surnamed Wang, is the owner of a lock factory.

Originally, it was impossible for him to receive them in person. Although the factory is small and it is not in a recession now, he still wouldn't have to do it himself even when two students came.Just for the sake of Grandpa Xu Xiaoran, he received the two of them.

When I walked in, I saw that the place was not big, and there were not many workers. There were about twenty or thirty people working at a leisurely pace.

Boss Wang introduced the products in the factory to the two while walking, and the two asked a few targeted questions.

Mainly Xu Xiaoran asked, Chen Zhihe didn't speak, just observed from the sidelines.

Originally, Chen Zhihe was worried that the other party would not like their order, but after observing it for a while, he had a clue in his mind.

After chatting for a while, Chen Zhihe asked Boss Wang if he could make bicycle locks.

Boss Wang glanced at Xu Xiaoran, and then realized that Chen Zhihe, who was silent at the side, was the one who made up his mind.

Nodding his head, Boss Wang said yes.

Chen Zhihe proposed to see the samples.

Boss Wang led the two of them to a sample room transformed from a warehouse, which was filled with all kinds of locks, ranging from common door locks to complicated combination locks.

Pointing to a row of shelves in the corner, Boss Wang said that all the bicycle locks are here.

There are not many types, except for ring locks that can be installed on bicycles, more are separate chain locks.

However, Chen Zhihe did not find the mechanical combination lock he wanted.

Shaking his head, Chen Zhihe asked, "Boss Wang, do you have any other bicycle locks?"

Boss Wang shook his head and said that all the bicycle locks are here.

Chen Zhihe tentatively asked, "I don't know if Boss Wang provides customized services here?"

The other party was taken aback, the bicycle lock still needs to be customized?
However, he didn't reject Chen Zhihe on the spot. After thinking about it, he asked, "What kind of lock do you want to customize?"

Chen Zhihe pointed to the cylinder-shaped combination lock on the side: "Use a combination lock for the key part of the lock, and then fix the hose chain to the vehicle body, it shouldn't be difficult."

After thinking about it for a while, Boss Wang understood what Chen Zhihe meant. He nodded and said that it was really not difficult, but Chen Zhihe needed to provide a specific style for the details.

Chen Zhihe saw that there was something interesting, so he asked Boss Wang to bring a pen and paper, and drew on the paper a mechanical combination lock that is common on later generations of small yellow cars.

Boss Wang looked at it and said that it could be done, and asked Chen Zhihe how much he needed and when he wanted it.

According to Chen Zhihe's preliminary idea, the capacity of the Jiangda campus is estimated to be about 500 cars, so he said that 500 cars are needed.

After hearing this, Boss Wang showed embarrassment: "The quantity of your customized order is too small. I have to re-open the mold, and the cost may be a bit high."

Chen Zhihe nodded to express his understanding, 500 locks are indeed a little small.

However, as long as the other party has the willingness to do it, it is nothing more than a question of price.

"We also understand the cost issue you mentioned. You can see if this is possible. You can say a price first, and we can see if we can accept it."

"The lowest price is 45." Boss Wang calculated and gave a price.

Chen Zhihe didn't know the price of this item, but he knew very well that a businessman would definitely not trade at a loss.

So he pointed to Xu Xiaoran and said, "To tell you the truth, this matter is mainly about his business, and you know his family's situation. If the effect is good in the future, we probably need far more than this amount. You know, this The lock itself has no technical content, we can find anyone. Our first cooperation, each step back, 40 yuan a piece, if you agree, we can settle it now."

Looking at Xu Xiaoran who was nodding at the side, thinking that the other party came by car and he was driving a second-hand car, Boss Wang gritted his teeth and agreed.

When he came to Boss Wang's office, Chen Zhihe took out the contract he had prepared in advance.

Not only Boss Wang was stunned, but Xu Xiaoran was also stunned.

Boss Wang didn't expect the other party to come prepared, while Xu Xiaoran didn't expect Chen Zhihe to be able to write a contract.

After showing it to the other party, the two parties added some details, and the two parties signed on the spot.

Chen Zhihe and Xu Xiaoran left after agreeing that the other party would provide samples within a week and pay a deposit.

After getting in the car, Xu Xiaoran carefully looked at Chen Zhihe.

"Brother Chen, tell me the truth, is there anything you don't know?" Xu Xiaoran always felt that Chen Zhihe was more mature than his peers, and he always gave people a sense of stability, confidence and calmness in doing things, but Still didn't expect Chen Zhihe to refresh his cognition again.

Chen Zhihe chuckled and started the car, "I can't have a baby."

……

Back at school, it was already noon, and when I got to the dormitory, no one was there.

Xu Xiaoran ran to find Zuo Wanjia after staying for a while.

Alone in the dormitory, Chen Zhihe wrote Xu Xiaoran's thesis for a while, and suddenly felt a little hungry.

After packing up his things, Chen Zhihe decided to go back to the Normal University and visit Lei Jun by the way.

Parking the car on the side of the road, Chen Zhihe called Lei Jun, unexpectedly he was just about to go downstairs for dinner.

So, the two of them got together to have dinner.

When passing by the previous computer training school, Chen Zhihe looked up, and the signboard had been removed at some point.

Looking at Lei Jun, he found that there was nothing unusual, and Chen Zhihe didn't ask any further questions, for fear of bringing up his sadness.

Find a restaurant, the two sat down to eat and chat.

Lei Jun's progress is very fast. According to Chen Zhihe's request, the basic framework has been set up.

The core functions of the app are divided into several modules, recharge, location, QR code identification and password distribution.

At this stage, that's all for now.

Without the popularization of mobile payment, many ideas cannot be realized.

Moreover, the funds are limited, and the cost of smart car locks is too high, so it can only be considered after the market is rolled out.

At this stage, at least in Jiang University, ordinary mechanical combination locks are sufficient and easy to maintain.

Now, basically the problems are almost solved, and everything is ready to go. I just wait for the Daiso competition to have a good result, and then go to win the support of the school.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhihe was slightly excited.

Does this make the world a little bit different?
After all, he pre-empted shared bikes by several years.

　Although the results are not very good, but I will definitely stick to it~

　　Hope for more support.
