Chapter 78 506 Dormitory Roundtable
The 506 dormitory has a meeting again, but this time, Lao Lei and the others came to Yang Yan's new residence. Anyway, it is not too far from the school, so it only takes ten minutes to take the bus. They can also come over to add a little popularity to Yang Yan's new rental house.
"Lunch box, what industry do you think is the hottest industry in the current technology circle?" Yang Yan asked with a smile.
Several brothers sat in a circle around the small round table in the dining room, which felt like a round table meeting. Of course, if Lei Zhentian didn't turn his head to tease Luo Luo in the crib next to him, the round table would be even more ritual!
"If you want to say that the hottest thing now is probably e-commerce, right?" Fang Hexu, who is currently intern in New South, still likes to read technology and business magazines as before. Compared to Lei Zhentian, who has a mine at home and Jiang Yuan, who is busy with love, Fang Hexu understands the current situation of society better.
Fang Hexu kicked his legs, shaking his legs on the chair, and sat not seriously at all. He paused and continued: "Isn't there a concept called group buying very popular now? What about wowo, Shangzu.com, buying coupons, and many group buying websites like this that learn from online shopping fathers or Western groupon models. Each of them has attracted a lot of venture capital and basically has no worries about financing."
"Yes, Wowetou!" Jiang Yuan heard the familiar noun and quickly interrupted, "I have bought a group purchase coupon for buffets in Wowetou."
Lei Zhentian had no interest in interrupting, and he was still playing with Luoluo. Old Lei pretended to ignore Luoluo and listened seriously to others. Then he suddenly turned his head and stared at the little girl sitting in the crib in a daze.
Luo Luo was also looking at Uncle Lei's back in confusion, waiting for him to play with him. Uncle Lei suddenly turned around. The little girl was startled first, and then immediately grinned happily again, shook her little hand and laughed "hehe" with her little smile.
Uncle Lei was not afraid of being wide open! It was not fierce at all, it was just teasing her, Luo Luo was so familiar with it.
Luoluo's laughter only attracted Yang Yan to turn his head and smile and look at his daughter, but it did not affect Fang Hexu's enthusiasm for chatting. He asked curiously: "Yanzi, why did you suddenly talk about this today? Do you also want to engage in group buying?"
After Yang Yan came back from the Chinese New Year, he talked to them about his idea of trying to start a business, so it is normal for Fang Hexu to have such a guess.
"No, I just thought of another project." Yang Yan turned his head, smiled slightly, and said, "Lunch boxes, do you think that whether it is the popular group buying now or the online shopping father that has long been large, they have promoted the rapid development of another service industry?"
Yang Yan spoke, Lei Zhentian paid a little attention, and he asked, "What industry? Yanzi, don't keep it behind closed doors!"
"Are you talking about the express delivery industry?" Fang Hexu's mind was very flexible. His eyes flashed and he immediately thought of the key point.
"That's right!" Yang Yan nodded.
"But the express delivery industry is not easy to do. First of all, it is not the IT industry, you are not familiar with it at all. Secondly, in the express delivery industry, except SF, Santong and Yida have basically filled the market. It is not a good time for you to get started now." Fang Hexu shook his head.
"But what I'm talking about is not express delivery. What I want to say is that it is a bit similar to the express delivery industry, and it is closely related to the group buying industry, but it has not yet developed the takeaway industry!" Yang Yan smiled, "You said, is the nature of delivery delivery similar to express delivery?"
"Take-out?" At this moment, even Fang Hexu's head couldn't turn. He looked at Yang Yan with some confusion, as if asking: Why did he suddenly think of this field?
Yang Yan was not in a hurry to answer. He turned to Jiang Yuan and asked, "Jiang Yuan, now I will set a scenario for you. You want to have a roast chicken in the dormitory, but you don't want to go out, what should I do?"
"Order takeaway?" Jiang Yuan scratched his head and said hesitantly.
"What do you call me?" Yang Yan asked.
Jiang Yuan can't answer this time.
But Lei Zhentian next to him answered for him: "Call me! I have a midnight snack delivery phone number from the barbecue stall at the school gate."
"Very good. What if it's like Jiang Yuan just now and I don't know the phone number? Should I ask someone? Or should I go outside in person and take the phone back for next time?" Yang Yan asked with a smile.
Jiang Yuan nodded.
Fang Hexu seemed to understand something. He didn't know well in programming, but his sense of business was very sensitive. He touched his chin and asked: "Yanzi, do you want to build a website for integrated takeaway information? We don't need to go to the takeaway phone number in person in the future. Just search on your website to find the takeaway you want to order?"
Yang Yan nodded with a smile, but he said, "It's not just that."
"Wait a little longer!" Fang Hexu was a little excited, a bit like Conan encountered a difficult case. He waved his hand and said, "I should know what you are going to do... takeaway, express..."
Fang Hexu said a few times, then smiled confidently: "Yanzi, you want to take the order and delivery of takeout in your own hands! It's like some e-commerce companies, although the goods are not produced by themselves, they grasp the sales and delivery channels and tie the supplier's neck."
"I do think so, but how could you say so badly?" Yang Yan smiled. He opened the laptop that he had originally placed in the middle of the table and pushed it to Fang Hexu and the others.
"This is a first-generation takeaway website I made. Because it was just designed by me myself, without artists, it looks a bit ugly. You can just watch it!" Yang Yan stood up and walked behind them.
Luoluo still saw the movement of his father, and the little girl turned her eyes to her father curiously.
The website made by Yang Yan has actually begun to take shape. Even without the help of artists, it actually doesn't look ugly. He cleverly bypassed the art links he is not familiar with and designed the website in a minimalist style, which looks generous, fresh and natural.
Of course, if you really want to build a takeaway website, you still need to hire a full-time artist to design it. After all, this website does not sell art or technology products, and not everyone likes the minimalist style.
Yang Yan stood behind several brothers and talked confidently: "The website you saw is actually just a model built on a virtual server, but you can try it with it to order food. Lao Lei, try it, choose the food you want to eat and search."
"Then I'll choose a more common dumpling!" Lei Zhentian gently typed two words on Yang Yan's computer with interest, and then pressed Enter.
Soon, some business information and corresponding dish information also came out.
Fang Hexu was more careful. He saw that the search results that popped up were not only dumplings, but also included dumplings, steamed dumplings, and even related fried dumplings and wontons. Although these related products were not too eye-catching, they also appeared in the dishes under the store.
"Yanzi, just make a model, did you even write a vague search?" Fang Hexu turned to Yang Yan in surprise.
With the development of technology to the present, for programmers, it is not difficult to learn and write fuzzy search codes. The difficult thing is how to write them well and how to improve the user's experience. Otherwise, fuzzy searches out a bunch of products that you don't want to close, making users feel bored. It is better to use precise search directly.
"Funny search is very necessary, because sometimes when we order food, we don't have an accurate concept of what we want to eat. With fuzzy search, we can provide customers with more choices, and we can also help merchants promote it. This is how our online shopping father and Qiandu do it." Yang Yan explained.
