Time quickly passed and it was the end of August. The major universities would soon welcome the start of the new school year.
The last batch of seniors who stayed to take make-up exams also dragged their suitcases and stepped into society, waving goodbye to their youth. A batch of fresh, young, and energetic high school students was about to flood into the university campus and open a new chapter of youth.
Soon, it would be the most lively time of the year.
The members of the student union returned to school one after another and began to busy themselves with meetings to prepare for the new student welcome.
Lu Zhou was the same. Although he was not busy welcoming the new students, it was much more meaningful than welcoming the new students. At this moment, he had already printed a large stack of flyers and started to do his job.
However, when he was about to put up the first flyer, he was bumped into by the vice president.
Lin Yuxiang curiously stared at the flyer in Lu Zhou's hand and asked, "What are you doing?"
Lu Zhou's expression was a bit awkward as he was caught red-handed.
"Uh, can't I put up flyers here?"
Lin Yuxiang said innocently, "Although I can turn a blind eye and pretend I didn't see it, it will soon be taken away by the other members of the student union."
This is troublesome …
While Lu Zhou was in a dilemma, Lin Yuxiang walked up and looked at the flyer.
"Campus Train app? Wow … I didn't expect you to know how to program. Did you do all this? "
Hey, that's too close …
Lu Zhou subtly took a step back and said, "Yes … Why?"
"Why don't you advertise it on our school's forum? The students who are already at school don't need to buy tickets through an app, right? "asked Lin Yuxiang.
You think I don't want to!
Lu Zhou said helplessly, "… I'm banned from advertising."
Lin Yuxiang's eyes lit up and she tapped her left hand with her right fist.
"I see, then leave it to me."
Lu Zhou paused for a second and said, "Leave it to you?"
Lin Yuxiang tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled as she said, "Yeah! Our school's Tieba has always been managed by the Student Union. The main account of the Tieba is operated by the Dean of our college. I'll just go and greet him. It won't be a problem to help you get it to be pinned at the top for a few days. By the way, send me the QR code or the link to the APK file. A few days ago, I saw a lot of juniors asking about transportation problems on Tieba. "
This time, Lu Zhou was really surprised.
"Really … Thank you so much!"
Lin Yuxiang smiled and said, "You're welcome. I should be thanking you."
This …
Was this the power of connections?
No wonder she became the Vice President of the Student Union while others were just officers in their first year.
Lu Zhou sighed in his heart as he watched the man leave.
What a scary woman …
But, thank you so much!
Originally, he was quite critical of this teammate who couldn't even lie down properly, but now he couldn't say anything to complain.
Wait a minute …
Lu Zhou's heart skipped a beat as if he had grasped something.
Many freshmen were asking about taking a taxi …
And his "Campus Train" was targeted at students.
"Taking a taxi is a problem, not just taking a train …" Lu Zhou thought about his first time at school and how he went to the wrong campus. He couldn't help but think about this problem. "I can add a student channel to the main interface, as well as the option to go back to school and leave school. I can help the freshmen buy tickets and set the shortest bus route.
"But this way, I have to crawl data from major bus stations … Wait a minute, I can crawl data from a third-party map. Baidu Gaode has bus routes! How could I forget about this! "
Lu Zhou's eyes lit up as he thought about it.
It wasn't just the bus and subway. A lot of students would choose to carpool after they got off the train station. This was mainly done by unlicensed taxi drivers.
If he could directly use his app to collect the information of the user's train number, the target school, and the starting station (hometown), and summarize the number of students from each university on a train, wouldn't he be able to form a team on the train?
Even if he didn't carpool, he could find a partner to go to school.
Also, it was fine when he came to school as many key universities had direct subway connections. However, when he left school and got off the train, it might not be as convenient. If he needed to carpool, it would be more convenient to find a university student or even an alumnus than a stranger with no common language.
How many universities are there in the country?
How many university students?
Even if he could reach 50% of the market share, the number of users would be unimaginable.
Also, these users would be accurately located in a group. The value added would be unimaginable.
Lu Zhou didn't hesitate anymore. He immediately returned to his dorm, opened his laptop, and began to complete the version 0.12 update.
In this major update, it would bind the user's university information and train number (optional). As long as the user bound the university information and sat on the train, they would know how many alumni were also using the "Campus Train" app on the same train.
Adding friends, private messaging, carpooling, changing routes … These were all necessary. In the future, he could add group chat channels to further increase the user's stickiness. However, this was a large project and involved too many problems. He had to postpone it.
Because it involved core code changes, the project was unusually large. In addition, he added a lot of sub-functions designed for student users. The entire UI had to be greatly adjusted.
In order to be in a hurry, Lu Zhou spent 150 general points to give the system some of the more difficult code. He then copied it from memory and finally completed the stability test before the end of the month.
Now, his general points balance was 775.
"Upload the update …" Lu Zhou let out a long sigh, "This is a huge change. I hope it can stand out from all the other apps."
He looked at the number of downloads. There were only 15.
Lu Zhou comforted himself. Compared to version 0.11, there were at least two digits of users. It was a good start. He sent the link to Lin Yuxiang yesterday. She would probably be able to log into the school's forum today. Maybe after today, there would be a significant increase in the number of users.
"Oh yeah, since I can promote it on Tieba, why don't I try it on other platforms?"
Lu Zhou suddenly remembered that he registered a Weibo account to fight against Zhu Fangcai.
Without hesitation, he immediately logged on.
The f * ck?
Another ten thousand followers?
When Lu Zhou saw the number of followers, he was shocked.
When he saw the 99 + private message count, his eyebrows twitched violently again.
He clicked on it. Unsurprisingly, they were either asking for his contact information or asking for him to write a thesis.
What the f * ck, can't these people give me a price?
Who knows, I might have been blinded by it.
Why are they so insincere!
Lu Zhou shook his head and began to write a blog post. He also posted the link.
[The Campus Train app is released. Download it …]
Emm …
This is a bit awkward.
But what should I write for this advertisement?
Lu Zhou couldn't think of anything, so he finally gave up completely. He added a line at the end of the sentence.
[Repost for a lucky draw … I'll draw ten fans to help me edit my SCI thesis.]
He could not draw anything else, so he could only sell his talent.
Most of his fans should be university students, right? This kind of promotion should be useful, right?
Whatever, there's no point thinking about this.
Lu Zhou clicked send and closed Weibo.
