It's more powerful than wifi, a home where only three or five people talk and watch the play; it's cheaper than wifi, a business that moves thousands of times - between home and office, with huge web scenes, chatting in restaurants, drawings in cafÉs, playing in cinemas... These, yesCommercial wifiOpportunities and markets。
That's what it's all about. Let seo-lei change his life。
Seo-luk worked for general letter for 10 years, bringing a team of hundreds. In 2014, he gave up stability and high wages and created chengduhui xiaobo technology ltd (hereinafter referred to as “little bo wireless”) in chengdu's new district. Three years of entrepreneurship, he witnessed commercial wifi from the uninhabited blue sea to the red sea, where more than 3,000 businesses “strike to kill”; seven times in the three years, from getting millions of money to cutting off jobs, he became a leading industry; and over the past three years, his team has explored countless timesBusiness modelFrom the “water seller” of open software resources to the “business man” of the integrated r & d sales; to date, based on technological advantages, the company has become the largest commercial wifi platform in the country, supporting the steady operation of more than half a million hot spots, bringing together more than 300,000 business resources, and opening up a commercial market that allows its peers to meet countless times。
From business executives to entrepreneurs
A meal for the partners
On the 16th floor of the ideal centre, located in chengdugao district, is the seventh home of little bo wireless. Three years ago, seo-lang could not have imagined such a “disturbation”。
Xu yiu was a chongqing man and, in 2003, after graduating from computer studies at the university of electronics and technology, he successfully entered the mail. By 2013, he was the project manager, responsible for router development, with a team of hundreds of people. In 2013, xu ban built a team dedicated to commercial wifi research and development, using an internal entrepreneurial model。
"it's more complicated than expected, for example, in sales, profit, service." she said that before that, mapu’s operations had failed, mainly targeting large businesses, to replicate commercial wifi。
Xu's not happy. "it's still a good market." suh wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei。
In order to strengthen its technical capacity, seo-lang invited his university classmate, liu guo hong, who was in charge of a foreign company at the time, to dinner in an attempt to “hear the views of the old classmates”. It was unexpected that his ideas had inspired liu quihong, who had been able to leave his post from abroad, abandoning his high pay and stability and becoming the cto of the entrepreneurship team。
From blue sea to red sea
More than 30000 commercial wifi markets "bong kill"
The initial stage of entrepreneurship was almost difficult。
"we were three years early." in 2014, little bo wireless was officially established. However, the team did not see where the customer was — whether it was a restaurant, a cafÉ or a hotel, where the wifi market was occupied by a home-based wifi, two years earlier the commercial wifi had no official name。
The lack of a profit model is a painful problem for the entire business industry. In particular, in 2014, internet products were "free" and businesses did not have the awareness to bear the costs. Between 2014 and 2015, according to incomplete statistics, there were more than 3,000 businesses involved in commercial wifi, but none of them found sustainable patterns of profitability。
And finally, seo-lei thought of openness, "well, since we don't seek to sell the product, we just have to let more people use our software." as a result, on 8 january 2014, xu released the rippleos solidware download。
From "burning money" to layoffs
New entrepreneurs get millions of money
At the outset, xu's supply was solid, and people needed to buy a specific type of router self-wiring machine. Not only is this a problem, but it will soon be off the market with a brushable router. To solve this problem, xu xian, with a test approach, launched the "classing program" in the qqquartet。
This “earth method” puzzle continued three times in a row, with xu yue customizing 3,000 to 4,000 units to be mailed to businesses from all over the country. Eventually, the co-producer came to the door. And the investors. In october 2015, xu met in beijing, and only one of the vice-presidents of the united states delegation found him, negotiated and worked together, and eventually received millions of dollars in financing。
"this year, i made a mistake." with the availability of millions of dollars, little bo draws on the “corporate model” and lays out a push pattern, with the company expanding fourfold in two months, moving from a small office to a large square metre layer。
Soon, the money burned out." at the end of 2015, seo-heun met with the most difficult times, and at one point he tried to send the company out in order to keep the employees safe, but he failed to deliver. In the end, seo-fang chose to save himself and on friday, in the snow, he called back all the employees of the state of the station and ate a fire pot and laid off more than 30 people。
From water seller to pathfinder
Develop a business wifi business model
In 2016, the emergence of the twitter public was critical for many of the tweets. The wifi login will introduce flows, and the wibblewire-wire feed back to life through log-in flows, once occupying nearly half of the wifi market。
However, xu yao is not satisfied with this model, which used to look more like a “water man” whether it was the opening of rippleos solids or authorized manufacturers, and now he wants to develop a profit model based on technology and services themselves to address the market pains of the entire commercial wifi。
The company is now the country's largest commercial wifi platform, which is widely used in commercial establishments such as catering, commerce, leisure and entertainment, businesses and hotels. It supports the steady operation of more than 550,000 hot spots, with more than 300,000 commercial users, covering all local cities and 2,800 district administrative areas in the country. The product is fully certified by the ministry of public security for safety and quality in the sale of safe products. Seo-lang also received the trade rating “mr. Wifi”. Recently, “2017 deloitte-sungdu’s new and innovative startup star” was selected。
“these technologies and resources can themselves generate profit patterns.” starting this year, seo-lu began producing its own equipment, which was sold on a single device and extended to services under the line。
