The next day, Boss Jia and Wang Chuanfu went out for a ride together, but they didn't drive. Instead, they rode their eco-friendly motorcycle.
"You have been in the US for so long. Have you ever ridden your own car on the streets?" Boss Jia asked Wang Chuanfu who was beside him as he rode his bike.
"No …" Wang Chuanfu said shamefully, then added, "I'm too busy with work. I don't have time to ride."
"So your car can't be sold!" Boss Jia snorted coldly. "As a seller, you have to know the buyer's mentality and know what the buyer's pain point is. You don't even know the needs of the United States' customers. How can you sell the car? "
"Yes!" Wang Chuanfu said obediently, and then the two of them went for a ride on the road.
Because of the eco-friendly motorcycle's speed, the two of them didn't go too fast. They walked slowly on the road. As they walked, they could also see the surrounding streets.
Wang Chuanfu had been in New York for a few months. It was the first time he appreciated the scenery of a large city in another country so carefully. It was also unique, and it made his mood a lot better.
However, after riding for more than 30 minutes, Wang Chuanfu felt a little bored. At the same time, he didn't feel anything from the ride that could inspire him.
"This ride is useless …" Wang Chuanfu muttered in a low voice.
"Why? Do you think it's useless to go for a ride?" Unexpectedly, this voice was transmitted to Boss Jia's ears along with the wind. The latter asked bluntly.
"No! Absolutely not! "Wang Chuanfu immediately denied.
"You … Didn't you notice the expressions of the surrounding passengers when they looked at us?" Boss Jia said with some disappointment in his tone.
But in fact, Wang Chuanfu had noticed this. After all, when the pedestrians around them looked at them with a strange gaze, Wang Chuanfu couldn't not feel these gazes.
It was just that these gazes were strange. Wang Chuanfu never thought about selling the car until Boss Jia reminded him. He suddenly realized. "Chairman, you mean that our car is too strange, and the United States are not willing to buy it?"
"I don't know!" Boss Jia shook his head and slammed on the brakes to stop the car. Then, he smiled and said, "But we can ask them!"
Therefore, Boss Jia pushed the cart and walked to a middle-aged man who was looking at them strangely. Then, he smiled and asked, "Is our cart very funny?"
"No! No! "The middle-aged man was shocked and immediately denied it.
"It's alright. We're just doing a product survey. This is our company's new product. We'd like to collect everyone's opinions and opinions. I saw you staring at our car just now, so I came to ask you. I hope you can help us! "Boss Jia smiled.
"I see!" Hearing that the other party took the initiative to collect opinions, the middle-aged man immediately put down some of his formalities and said with a smile, "Actually, I just wanted to see if their car was moving on its own. Obviously, you don't have pedals, but I can't hear the sound of the engine!"
"That's right, this is the latest eco-friendly motorcycle we've developed. It uses an electric motor as its power source! It's completely pollution-free and is the most environmentally friendly means of transportation! "Boss Jia explained.
"I see. I was wondering why this car is so weird. It doesn't look like a bicycle or a motorcycle!" The middle-aged man sighed and said.
"Oh, then would you be willing to buy such an eco-friendly motorcycle?" Boss Jia asked again.
"No, why would I buy it? I'm an office worker. I go to work every day. Sometimes I drive, sometimes I take the subway. It's useless to have it! "The middle-aged man said.
"This is much better than a car. The traffic in New York is so congested. With this, you can go anywhere you want and don't have to worry about traffic!" Wang Chuanfu couldn't help but say, "And the speed is much faster than the subway. You can ride it when you leave the house. It's very convenient."
"That's true!" The middle-aged man nodded, but then shook his head and said, "But the problem is, when I go to work, where do I park the bike?"
"Of course, you park it …" Wang Chuanfu's words were stuck in his throat.
That's right. Electric bicycles looked much smaller than cars and seemed easy to park. However, in the United States, especially in some big cities, they couldn't be parked at work.
First of all, in a big city like New York, most office workers worked in office buildings.
Of course, parking on the street outside the office building was not allowed. Otherwise, the traffic police would directly tow you away.
In the parking lot of the office building, only cars were parked. It was inconvenient to park an electric bicycle. There was a risk of trouble from the manager.
In short, it wasn't easy to park an electric bicycle or an eco-friendly motorcycle in New York.
"Also, since your bike uses electricity, how big is the battery? How long can it last?" The man asked again, "Also, how do I charge it?"
"Our electric bicycle uses the latest technology. It can support a distance of 30 kilometers. As for charging, you just have to plug it in. It can be used in any socket! "Wang Chuanfu said proudly.
"A distance of 30 kilometers is too short. From where I live to where I work, a round trip is about 25 kilometers. If there is a problem in the middle, or if I have to take a detour, won't my bike run out of battery?"
"Also, the charging problem is very troublesome. I can't just plug it in to the socket. I live in an apartment, and the manager is like a wolf watching the door. I definitely can't bring my bike into the apartment. If I do, I can't charge it! " The man shook his head and said, "Your idea is good and eco-friendly, but it's really impractical!"
The man shook his head and walked away slowly.
"How is it? Do you know what the problem is? "Boss Jia asked.
"Yes, but the problem is the battery. Unless there is a breakthrough in battery technology, it's difficult to add more batteries with the current size. As for charging … "Wang Chuanfu scratched his head and said," We are developing a design that can take out the battery easily. We might be able to separate the battery from the electric bicycle. When we need to charge it, we only need to bring the battery home. "
"But the weight of the battery is a bit heavy. It seems a bit troublesome to carry the battery upstairs and downstairs every day …" Wang Chuanfu scratched his head, or else he suddenly realized, "No, our target customers are not office workers, but people who are used to riding bicycles or motorcycles. They are our target customers!"
"You are avoiding the problem!" Boss Jia rolled his eyes at Wang Chuanfu. At that moment, a cyclist happened to pass by. When he saw Boss Jia and Wang Chuanfu, he asked curiously, "Friend, what kind of bike is this?"
"This is an electric bicycle!" Wang Chuanfu rolled his eyes and changed the name of the eco-friendly motorcycle to an electric bicycle. He smiled and said, "Friend, our electric bicycle is completely powered by electricity. It is very convenient to ride. It doesn't need any strength and can walk on its own. Are you interested in buying one?"
"Not interested!" The man shook his head and rode away on his bicycle.
"Why?" Wang Chuanfu followed behind and asked.
"I ride for fitness. Your bike can walk on its own. Why would I want to exercise?" The man said angrily, leaving Wang Chuanfu confused.
