The next day, boss Jia and Wang Chuanfu ran out for a ride together, but instead of driving, they rode their environmentally friendly motorcycle.
"You've been in the United States for so long. Have you ever driven on the street in our own car?" boss Jia asked Wang Chuanfu as he rode.
"No..." Wang Chuanfu said shamefully, and then added, "I'm too busy with my work and don't have time to ride."
"So you can't sell your car!" boss Jia snorted coldly. "As a seller, you should know the buyer's mentality and what the buyer's pain points are. You don't even know the needs of American users. How can you sell your car?"
"Yes!" Wang Chuanfu said cleverly, and then the two had been taking a ride on the road.
Because of the speed of environmentally friendly motorcycles, the speed of the two people is not too fast. They walk so slowly on the road. While walking, they can see the surrounding street view.
It has been several months since Wang Chuanfu came to New York. It is the first time that he has enjoyed the scenery of a large city in another country in such a detailed way. It is a special feature and makes him feel 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 that could inspire him from the ride.
"This ride is of no use..." Wang Chuanfu whispered.
"Why, I don't think it's useful to go for a ride?" unexpectedly, the voice followed the wind and spread to boss Jia's ears. The latter asked impolitely.
"No! Absolutely not!" Wang Chuanfu immediately denied.
"You, don't you notice the expressions of the passengers around us?" boss Jia said with some hatred.
But in fact, Wang Chuanfu has noticed this. After all, when the pedestrians around look at them with strange eyes, Wang Chuanfu can't feel these eyes.
But his eyes were strange. Wang Chuanfu never thought about selling cars until boss Jia reminded him, "Chairman, do you mean that our cars are too strange for Americans to buy?"
"I don't know!" boss Jia shook his head, then a brake stopped directly, and then smiled, "but we can ask them!"
So, boss Jia pushed the car to a nearby middle-aged man who was looking at them with strange eyes, and then smiled and asked, "is our car very funny?"
"No! No!" the middle-aged man was startled and immediately denied.
"It's all right. We do product survey. This is a new product of our company. I want to collect everyone's opinions and opinions. I just saw that you've been staring at our car, so I specially came to ask. I hope you can help us!" boss Jia smiled.
"Well!" hearing that the other party took the initiative to collect opinions, the middle-aged man immediately put down some false gifts and said with a smile, "in fact, I just wanted to see if their car was moving. Obviously you didn't pedal, but you couldn't hear the sound of the engine!"
"Yes, this is our newly developed environmentally friendly motorcycle. It uses the power of an electric motor! It is completely pollution-free and the most environmentally friendly means of transportation!" explained boss Jia.
"I see. I said, why is this car so strange? It's neither like a bicycle nor a motorcycle!" the middle-aged man sighed.
"Oh, would you like to buy such an environmentally friendly motorcycle?" boss Jia asked again.
"No, what do I buy it for? I'm an office worker. I go to and from work every day. Sometimes I drive and sometimes I take the subway. It's no use asking him!" the middle-aged man said.
"This is much better than a car. There are many traffic jams in New York. With this, you can walk freely without worrying about traffic jams!" Wang Chuanfu couldn't help saying "and the speed is much faster than the subway. You can ride on the road when you get out of the door. It's very convenient".
"Yes!" the middle-aged man nodded, but shook his head again. "But the question is, where will the car stop after I go to work?"
"Stop, of course..." half of Wang Chuanfu's words were stuck in his throat.
Yes, the electric bicycle looks much smaller than a car. It seems to park well, but in fact, it can't stop at work in the United States, especially in some big cities.
First of all, in a big city like New York, most office workers work in office buildings.
Of course, you can't park on the street outside the office building, otherwise the traffic police will drag you away directly.
In the parking lot of the office building, only cars are parked. It is inconvenient to park an electric bicycle, and there is a risk of getting into trouble by the administrator.
In a word, it is not a simple thing to stop an electric bicycle or environmentally friendly motorcycle in New York.
"Also, since your car uses electricity, how big is the battery and how long can it last?" the other party said, "and how should I charge?"
"Our electric car adopts the latest technology and can support a distance of 30 kilometers. As for charging, just plug in the plug and the socket can be used!" Wang Chuanfu said proudly.
"The 30 kilometer journey is too short. The round trip from where I live to the company where I work is about 25 kilometers. If there is any problem in the middle or a detour, will my car run out of electricity?"
"In addition, the problem of charging is also very troublesome. I can't charge it when I plug in the socket. I live in an apartment. The administrator stares at the door like a wolf. My car can't be brought into the room. In this case, I can't charge!" the other party shook his head and said, "your idea is good and environmentally friendly, but it's really not practical!"
The other party shook his head and left slowly.
"How's it going? Do you know what the problem is?" boss Jia asked.
"I know, but the problem of power is that unless there is a breakthrough in battery technology, it is difficult to increase the battery with the current volume. As for charging..." Wang Chuanfu grabbed his head "We are developing a design that can simply take out the battery. Maybe we can separate the battery from the electric bicycle and just take the battery home when we want to charge."
"But the weight of the battery is a little heavy. It seems a little troublesome to go upstairs and downstairs with the battery every day..." Wang Chuanfu grabbed his head, or 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!"
"Just run away from the problem!" boss Jia glanced at Wang Chuanfu angrily, and then just at this time, a cyclist passed by. Seeing boss Jia and Wang Chuanfu parked on the roadside, he asked curiously, "friend, what kind of car is this?"
"This is an electric bicycle!" Wang Chuanfu turned his eyes and changed the name of the environmentally friendly motorcycle into an electric bicycle. He smiled and said, "my friend, our electric bicycle is completely driven by electricity. It's very convenient to ride. You don't need any strength. You can walk by yourself. Are you interested in buying one?"
"Not interested!" the other party shook his head, then rode his bike and left.
"Why?" Wang Chuanfu asked after him.
"I ride my bike to keep fit. Your car can go by itself. What am I healthy?" the other party said angrily, leaving Wang Chuanfu with an ignorant face.
