Chapter 130 Analysis

"Hmm... let's analyze this using Director Lin's method."

"This concerns the future development direction of Otto Technologies. The mobile phone industry is changing rapidly. One wrong step, and every step after that will be wrong. We can't be careless."

If this were Chang You from when he had just arrived, he probably wouldn't have given it much thought and would have directly delegated the task to his subordinates, as long as they completed the requirements with guaranteed quality and quantity.

But after half a year of training, Chang You felt that he had learned a lot from President Pei.

One of the most important things was vision and direction!

A famous entrepreneur once said the "pig in the wind" theory, meaning that for a top entrepreneur to achieve something, the most important thing is to find the right trend.

The mobile phone industry is undoubtedly the trend of the mobile Internet era, but not everyone has the ability to be that pig in the wind.

If you're not careful and get squeezed out of position, you'll be smashed to pieces!

In other words, effort determines your lower limit, while vision determines your upper limit.

Chang You originally thought that his vision was good and that he was one of the best in the industry.

But after seeing President Pei, he realized that he was simply a frog in a well, too arrogant!

He could only see the opportunities that everyone could see. Although these were also opportunities, the competition was extremely fierce. One step behind, and you lose everything.

But what President Pei saw were opportunities that no one else could see. These opportunities were extremely precious, and as long as you grasped them firmly, there was no need to worry, because no one could compete with you.

Therefore, after the otto e1 phone was successful, Chang You had already determined one thing: since President Pei had such an advanced and unique vision, then of course, it was right to completely abandon his own views on the industry and fully accept President Pei's views.

If you can win lying down, why bother to fight with all your strength against other manufacturers like chickens pecking at each other?

However, the only problem was that geniuses always had quirks.

President Pei's quirk was that he liked to play riddles with his employees, seemingly to train their independent thinking and analytical skills.

Therefore, not everyone could figure out President Pei's riddle, stand out from the many employees, and leave a deep impression on President Pei.

Fortunately, there was the analysis method taught by Director Lin.

Chang You frowned and fell into deep thought.

"Director Lin said that the entry point for analyzing problems lies in 'the most unreasonable place.'"

"And the most unreasonable thing about this matter is why President Pei is using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. It would obviously be more appropriate to hand over the fitness app to Moyu Takeaway to do. Why must it be given to us?"

Chang You opened the document provided by Guo Licheng on the computer. The entire document was very simple, with only a few sentences.

If he were to grade it according to the standards of a product manager's requirements, even giving it 3 out of 100 points would be too much.

This couldn't be blamed on Guo Licheng. He was originally a fitness coach, so how would he know the working standards of a product manager?

Chang You read these requirements carefully: "This Guo Licheng is the person in charge of a managed gym, but the requirements he has put forward are very simple."

"This is also reasonable, after all, he is a newcomer and does not understand President Pei's thinking enough, so he still needs more training."

"If President Pei just wanted to complete these requirements, he could have just found Moyu Takeaway to do it."

"And these requirements are obviously too general. They would have to be completely revised and improved, and the entire function would have to be redesigned before it could be handed over to the program for production."

"Design..."

"Could it be that President Pei is interested in our design capabilities?"

"Hmm, that's possible. The design capabilities of our product managers are obviously much stronger than those of Moyu Takeaway."

"In other words, President Pei actually has more hidden requirements for this software, knowing that Moyu Takeaway would definitely have difficulty completing it, so he gave it to us?"

"Hmm, that makes much more sense!"

"So, what could be the potential requirements..."

Chang You felt that he had found a clue and stood up to pace back and forth.

"These requirements are already enough for a gym tool App."

"If President Pei wants more, then it means..."

"The gym is just the beginning, and President Pei's real goal is to break the limitations and boundaries of the gym?"

"Therefore, he handed it over to us to make, so that we can make up for what the person in charge of the gym project did not think of? Use mobile Internet thinking to conduct a comprehensive plan for this software?"

"Hmm, that must be the case!"

"But... if President Pei wants the phone to be linked to the gym App, why doesn't he allow us to install this App as bundled software on the phone?"

Chang You thought for a moment and quickly broke through this last threshold, revealing a look of realization.

"I understand."

"President Pei feels that this App contains a lot of content and is difficult to design, so he is worried about its quality."

"Promoting it by bundling it with the phone only makes the paper data look good, but in this way, we will not be able to judge the real situation of this App, causing misjudgment, which is not conducive to subsequent optimization work."

"At the same time, if the quality of the App is not up to par, it will also be a destruction of the otto mobile phone brand."

"So, why is it that our own software is not installed on otto mobile phones?"

"President Pei didn't say 'not to install,' but 'not to bundle.' He wants this App to be fully tested by the market, so that every otto mobile phone user can spontaneously and actively install it!"

Answer completed.

After Chang You re-sorted out the entire train of thought, he found that everything was so natural and so appropriate. The previous unreasonable points suddenly had a perfect answer.

No wonder everyone likes to play riddles with President Pei so much.

Because cracking President Pei's riddle can bring a huge sense of accomplishment and satisfaction!

Chang You immediately left his office and found the person in charge of the managed gym App.

"The plan has changed."

"The previous requirements were only the most basic functions. We need to expand on this basis!"

"In addition to meeting the daily use needs of the gym, we also need to provide more functions for this App."

"For example, we can create an algorithm that formulates a reasonable training plan for users based on their height, weight, and body fat data detected in the gym, and give it to the fitness coaches for reference."

"In addition to making appointments, the software can also set regular reminders, whether it's for training, adding meals, or resting. After all, coaches can't follow them 24 hours a day, so these reminders will all be completed intelligently by the phone."

"We can also create a special area to upload some training and diet knowledge or tips, so that customers can better understand the meaning of the managed fitness model."

"Many people don't understand why they need to make regular training appointments or why they need to bundle fitness meals, so they don't accept the managed gym model."

"If we can continue to popularize science, then everyone's acceptance of this managed fitness model will definitely increase!"

"In addition, we can also leave an interface for uploading videos of standard fitness movements in the future to help users correct their movements or even practice at home..."

The person in charge of the App recorded it quickly.

After writing everything down, the person in charge was a little confused: "Director Chang, this has far exceeded the previous requirements. The previous requirements were just for us to make a gym appointment software, right?"

"Is this... appropriate? Won't the demander be unhappy after receiving the software?"

Chang You smiled: "What, he wants a very simple function, and we not only completed it perfectly, but also included many useful functions. How can he still be angry?"

"He'll be thanking us before it's over!"

The person in charge of the App scratched his head and muttered in a low voice: "But, it doesn't seem necessary..."

Chang You smiled slightly: "It's necessary, very necessary!"

"When you get to my position, work with President Pei for a few days, and see the scenery at a higher place, you will understand why..."

"You still have a lot to learn!"

...

...

Wednesday, May 4th.

At more than 10 p.m., after seeing off the last batch of guests, Lin Canrong watched the waiters and cleaners clean up Ming Yun Private Kitchen before preparing to leave.

Logically speaking, the work flow of Ming Yun Private Kitchen is now very stable. As the store manager, Lin Canrong can occasionally slack off a little, and it doesn't matter.

But he still works diligently every day and is meticulous in his work.

After all, he was once just a chef who was a little famous in Jingzhou, and since he was appreciated by President Pei, he has served as the store manager of Moyu Internet Cafe, the person in charge of Moyu Takeaway, and now, because of the relationship with the store manager of Ming Yun Private Kitchen, he has been able to make friends with celebrities from all walks of life in Jingzhou. His career has been getting smoother and smoother.

Lin Canrong cherishes this opportunity very much and is always thinking about how to make Ming Yun Private Kitchen better, not only to repay President Pei's trust, but also to further his own career.

Some time ago, he learned that Rui Yuchen's Moyu Takeaway has been expanding crazily recently, and he inevitably felt a little anxious.

He wanted to open a branch, but President Pei rejected it.

Lin Canrong was very puzzled. Why did President Pei resolutely disagree with opening a branch?

After thinking about it for a few days, he finally gradually understood.

The reason why Ming Yun Private Kitchen is so popular is that, on the one hand, the chefs and ingredients are top-notch in the country, and they are indeed very excellent in terms of taste. On the other hand, the unique dining environment, the rule that photography is not allowed, the waiting in line, and the pursuit of high-end people all support the consumer psychology of customers.

In other words, because it is rare, it is precious.

Just like some brands never sell limited-edition items openly, because if they are sold openly, they are worthless.

The chefs of Ming Yun Private Kitchen were poached from all over the country, and each of them has unique skills. How can the taste be guaranteed if another branch is opened?

If the taste is also a little worse, and the consumer psychology of customers has also changed, isn't that equivalent to smashing the golden signboard of Wuming Restaurant?

Even if opening a branch can make more money, does President Pei care about that little money?

Obviously, the brand is more important.

After thinking this through, Lin Canrong completely dismissed the idea of opening a branch, but instead, according to President Pei's request, he tried to think about how to use the money earned to improve Ming Yun Private Kitchen in other aspects.

At present, he has some vague ideas, but they have not been completely finalized.

Lin Canrong went to drive while thinking.

When he drove out of the northwest gate, he noticed that a ground-floor shop not far away was still brightly lit, and people were busy.

A moving truck was parked on the road at the entrance, and people were moving various fitness equipment up.

After Ming Yun Private Kitchen became popular, the land price of the entire Ming Yun Villa rose, and the saying "Jingzhou New Business District" spread like wildfire. Many people came to invest in this area, and there were more and more shops.

But, not all shops can make money.

In Lin Canrong's impression, this brightly lit place was a high-end gym, originally intended to benchmark against the high-end people of Ming Yun Villa.

He originally thought that business would be booming and full every day, but he didn't expect it to get worse and worse. Even handing out flyers every day didn't improve the situation.

Seeing this, is it finally impossible to continue?

Lin Canrong parked the car on the side of the road and planned to go over and take a look.

After all, they are neighbors, and the two know each other. It's good to go over and comfort them.

He saw that the original store manager of the gym was smoking a cigarette while directing the workers to move the fitness equipment, but there was no sadness on his face about the closure of the gym.

When the original store manager of the gym saw Lin Canrong coming over, he reached out to say hello: "Yo, Store Manager Lin, just got off work?"

Lin Canrong nodded: "Yeah, just got off work. Are you... planning to quit?"

The original store manager of the gym laughed: "I'm not doing it anymore. Someone has taken over! This mess has finally been handed over!"
