The Ten Years of Rebirth

Reading while wearing a mask is really not that comfortable.

At night, looking out of the window from here, the school scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows came into view, the lights of the opposite teaching building were still bright, and unfortunately there were still people in evening classes.

The girl next to her packed her things and left the library around eight o'clock in the evening.

As time went by, the surrounding students also left one after another.

Xu Xing glanced at the surrounding situation, finally took off the mask, and breathed in the fresh air.

The three of them haven't spoken much, let alone interacted with each other.

Yan Chijiu was still the same as before, studying by himself in silence.

Xu Niannian next to him was not so dull, and occasionally raised his head to look at Xu Xing.

But now it's not National Day, there are quite a few people in the library, and everyone still won't talk casually to affect the surrounding environment.

When it was almost nine o'clock in the evening, and there were almost no people around the third floor, Xu Xing had the cheek to ask Yan Chijiu for advice on a certain subject.

Xu Niannian watched from the side with a half-smile, while Yan Chijiu raised his eyes and discussed the issue with him as usual.

Xu Niannian, who majored in design, couldn't get into the topic, but he wasn't studying by himself either. He just quietly propped his chin and watched their interaction.

The weird vibe lasted until 09:30pm.

The library was about to close, and the three got up to pack their things.

Xu Xing was about to put on his mask again, and wanted to drink some water, his eyes unconsciously drifted to the two water glasses on the table.

Both Yan Chijiu and Xu Niannian brought their own water glasses, Xu Xing subconsciously stretched out his hand, but stopped between the two water glasses.

Xu Niannian and Yan Chijiu, who were packing up, each paused for a moment, and then continued to clean up on their own, but their eyes had involuntarily glanced at Xu Xing's hand.

As a result, in the next second, Xu Xing on the opposite side stretched out another hand, took the two thermos cups into his hand, then opened the lids respectively, and each took two sips.

"..." Xu Niannian held his forehead dumbfounded.

Yanchi vinegar next to him snatched back his thermos, closed the lid and stuffed it into his schoolbag.

"shameless."

Yan Chijiu picked up her schoolbag and walked towards the elevator.

Xu Niannian rolled his eyes at him, picked up his backpack and followed Yan Chijiu's footsteps.

Holding Xu Niannian's water glass in his hand, Xu Xing followed behind the two of them. After drinking Xu Niannian's water, he put the water glass into her bag.

"I see that you have several classes that are not in this semester." Xu Xing walked into the elevator, stood in front of the two girls, turned around and pressed the button on the first floor, "Are you busy?"

"If you don't come to bother me often, you'll be busy." Yan Chijiu turned his head away, not looking at Xu Xing reflected in the elevator door.

"You can complete the credits and apply for graduation in your junior year of vinegar vinegar, and take the postgraduate entrance examination one year in advance." Xu Niannian said on the other side, "When the time comes, you will be the one with the lowest education."

"Believe it or not, if I just tell the school, I will be able to guarantee my research?" Xu Xing raised his eyebrows, "Maybe he will do a master's and doctoral degree directly, and the tutor's research funds will be taken care of directly, so no one will want it, right?"

"You might as well show some face first." Xu Niannian curled his lips.

"Just talking." Xu Xing walked out of the slowly opened elevator door, "I'm not going to compete with others for a place in the insurance research institute."

Three people walked out of the library door.

After Yan Chijiu walked down the high steps, she came to a red bicycle, took out her mobile phone, opened WeChat, and scanned the QR code on the seat.

Soon, the password of the bicycle lock popped up on it. After unlocking it, Yan Chijiu lowered the seat and rode on it.

Xu Xing next to him frowned, and followed suit with a shared bicycle made by Lu Pengyou, and Xu Niannian did the same.

Min University itself has a large area. It takes more than 20 minutes to walk from the library to the dormitory building if you walk slowly.

If you are riding a bicycle, five or six minutes will do.

Xu Xing and Yan Chijiu had an electric scooter before, but that electric scooter had been parked at the rented house since then, and Yan Chijiu had no intention of riding it when he left.

After she came back, she didn't buy a new one. She usually rides with her roommate's electric car in class, and when she comes to the library, she takes a walk as exercise.

However, since November, there have been some special things inside Min University—a uniform style, consistent appearance, and a bright red bicycle.

There are about a hundred of them, scattered in dormitory buildings, teaching buildings, libraries and school gates.

After being dispersed, the hundred bicycles were not very eye-catching, but they couldn't stand up to Lu Pengyou's publicity.

Lu Pengyou had contributed to the publicity of the takeaway food in the school before, and he knew the process very well.

He first went to counselor Wu Zhiguo to ask for a business application form, and wrote down his plan in detail and submitted it.

Then I found the relationship in the student union, relying on the seniors and sisters who did the takeaway together before, and successfully got some publicity opportunities.

Then he asked some classmates at work and in his department to start a week-long sweeping operation, successfully spreading the concept of shared bicycles.

So far, after a few weeks, this shared bicycle named "Dingdang Bicycle" by Lu Pengyou has gradually gained more than 400 registered users in the school.

Although it is incomparable with Xu Xing's family with great careers, and far inferior to the other two roommates, Lu Pengyou is quite happy with it.

When starting a business, people are always overexcited.

Xu Xing didn't care about his development, and only reminded him when necessary.

Riding a shared bicycle on the road in the school, Xu Xing turned to look at Yan Chijiu beside him, and asked, "How is this bike, is it easy to use?"

"good."

"If there are any shortcomings, you can mention them to Lu Pengyou."

"Sometimes I only found one after walking a long way, but at that time I was almost at my destination." Yan Chijiu said, "Sometimes there are more than ten cars at the door of the dormitory, but I can take the car of my roommate. Electric cars are also useless.”

"That's true." Xu Xing laughed.

The problem of the distribution of shared bicycles has been difficult to solve until later generations. There is no particularly good solution except for manual adjustment and scheduling of bicycles at fixed points.

With the development of autonomous driving and artificial intelligence, ghost bicycles may actually appear in the future, and they will automatically drive to the specified location and park in the middle of the night.

But Xu Xing in the previous life hadn't seen the implementation of this technology yet.

"The main reason is that the number is too small." Xu Niannian said, "But if there are too many, it feels like a waste, and aren't you afraid of the bike being stolen?"

"Minda should be fine here. Compared to being stolen, Lu Pengyou should worry about being locked up privately." Xu Xing said with a smile.

Some people ride their bikes back to their dormitories, not wanting to have their bikes taken away by other people when they get up the next day, so they deliberately install a private lock and force the bus to be used for private use.

This goes against the original intention of sharing bicycles.

However, this situation will not be a problem in later generations, because the number of shared bicycles is too large.

Xu Xing still remembers that in his previous life, he often saw shared bicycles crowded together at the entrances and exits of some schools or subways, which could completely crowd the crosswalks.

Judging from the trend of future generations, shared bicycles will not be able to make money at all in the early and mid-term.

In other words, it itself is not a model suitable for making money.

If the deposit itself is excluded, the cost of a bicycle is about a few hundred. Assuming that the bicycle is used three or four times a day, it will take several months to pay back.

The premise is to be able to charge.

In fact, in the early days, in order to compete and compete for market share, let alone fees, many of them directly saved the deposit, which was purely burning money to squeeze the market.

Later, after the entire market basically stabilized, it re-entered the normal charging process.

Even in later generations, shared bicycles have not really solved this problem.

Xu Xing didn't intend to solve it either. After all, as long as other companies participate in the market competition, this problem cannot be solved.

But his purpose is also very simple, as long as it can broaden the scope of WeChat payment, it is worth doing.

"Is this what you are looking for for Lu Pengyou?" Xu Niannian asked, "I think you are going to poach everyone in the dormitory."

"Meeting is fate, but whether they have that ability or not depends on themselves." Xu Xing said.

"So why are you following here by bike?" Yan Chi asked abruptly, "The parking lot is not here."

"Send you to the dormitory safely first."

"More than that."

"Really?" Xu Xing rode to Yan Chijiu's side, and said with a smile, "But I saw that you were riding very slowly, and I thought it was because you were reluctant to leave too early."

After saying this, Yan Chi's vinegar speeded up.

"Hey, be careful when riding at night."

"I think you are a bitch." Xu Niannian chuckled twice, "Very childish."

The three of them rode all the way to the dormitory floor. After sending the two girls to him, Xu Xing was not in a hurry to go home. Instead, he rode to the downstairs of the boys' dormitory. After locking the car, he ran to the dormitory.

"Oh? A rare visitor!"

Lu Pengyou, who was buried in front of the desk, raised his head, and when he saw Xu Xing, he suddenly showed a surprised expression, "Why are you here when you are free?"

"Come to the library to prepare for the final exam, and come over to take a look."

"I'm going to accompany you." Jian Jiashu laughed, "Send me back to the dormitory, and then drop by."

"I thought you really cared about us so much." Lu Pengyou pouted.

"I'm also concerned about going along the way." Xu Xing said, "How is it? How do you feel recently? If you can't bear it, don't hold on."

"I'm full of energy now, okay?" Lu Pengyou picked up the paper on the desk and said, "I can continue to do market research and data analysis, and I can optimize the 2.0 version of Dingdang Bike soon."

"I thought you would be very distressed."

"There must be a lot of distress." Lu Pengyou smacked his lips, "I don't know what's going on, but the location of a car flew to Honghai Road yesterday. It's a full eight kilometers away, and it hasn't been ridden back."

"I'm wondering whether to ask the school to say hello and ask the security guards to keep a close eye on the shared bicycles and not let the shared bicycles ride out of the school gate."

"But some students may really want to leave the school, and it would be inconvenient if they are not allowed to go out."

While listening to Lu Pengyou's complaints, Xu Xing sat in his seat and listened to his sharing with great interest.

"There are also several cars that have been locked by people's own locks. Several users have complained in recent days."

"I specifically searched for a location, squatted for half an hour, squatted the man down, and asked him to remove his lock."

"But that's not the way to go. It's impossible for me to hire people to do this when the scale expands in the future, right?"

Xu Xing leaned on the back of the chair, and said after listening, "You can think of some plans and try them out. Min University is your testing ground."

"When you can make a name for yourself in the school, you can expand the scope a little bit."

"Then continue to find problems, solve problems, and just take your time."

"That's what you said." Lu Pengyou muttered, "But I don't think it's profitable. Judging from the current usage rate, paying back the cost is a problem."

At this point, the future expectation of shared bicycles is indeed not as good as Eat Me Takeaway and Pink Notes.

"Problems are all used to solve them. I am optimistic about you." Xu Xing got up and patted him on the shoulder, "I'm leaving first. If you have any difficulties, feel free to tell me."

"Hey, are you leaving now?"

"I'm just here to check on your mental state. I won't worry about any major problems."

"Isn't there any good way to co-author you? I see that when you made takeaways and pink notes, didn't the routines follow one after another?"

"The secret cannot be leaked."

Lu Pengyou: "..."

Walking out of the dormitory, Xu Xing looked up at the girls' dormitory diagonally opposite, exhaled a mouthful of hot air, which turned into white mist in the cold wind.

Riding the shared bicycle back to the opposite direction from the library to the dormitory, Xu Xing came to the parking lot and drove home.

Lying on the bed at night, Yan Chijiu's circle of friends was updated.

[Yanchi vinegar]: The annoying guy is here again.

The accompanying picture is a water glass on the table, and the background should be taken in the dormitory.

Xu Xing looked at this dynamic a little weirdly, thinking this is jealous?
Although it is really silly to drink water from two girls at the same time, it is not appropriate to choose only one to drink. If I knew it, I might as well bring my own water cup.

You can directly find two girls to share some water, and save him from going to the corridor to pour water.

Just when Xu Xing was thinking wildly, Weixin vibrated, and someone sent him a new message.

Xu Xing was still looking forward to whether it was from Yan Chijiu, but after a closer look, he found that it was Li Zhibin.

Disappointment immediately appeared on his face.

[Li Zhibin]: I ask you a very serious question.

[Xu Xing]: If you fart, let it go.

[Li Zhibin]: How should I choose a birthday present for a girl?
[Xu Xing]: Is Yao Yuanyuan's birthday coming up?
[Li Zhibin]: I didn't say I was sending her off.

[Xu Xing]: Empathize?I'll go ask her.

[Li Zhibin]: Stop!
[Li Zhibin]: It's her!Quickly give some advice.

[Xu Xing]: Do you want to go on a yacht again?

[Li Zhibin]: Do you think I am you?Where do I get so much money?

[Xu Xing]: You have a lot of salary and bonuses. It must have been more than hundreds of thousands.

[Li Zhibin]: Then I am still saving money to buy a house, so let me be more practical.

[Xu Xing]: Then it depends on what people like.

[Li Zhibin]: If only I knew.

[Xu Xing]: It's very simple. Look at the things she usually uses, such as clothes, bags, shoes, cosmetics, and perfumes, and then buy higher-grade ones according to the brands.

[Li Zhibin]: Got it!

[Li Zhibin]: Then I want to treat her to celebrate her birthday, and invite you to come with me when the time comes.
