279: Section 279

From anywhere else, it was already too late to catch the train.

"Forget it."

"Let me see if I can change the ticket."

The older sister took out her phone, preparing to change the time on her and her younger sister's train tickets.

Meanwhile, the younger sister aimlessly wandered by the roadside out of boredom.

When she saw them.

After seeing several yellow bicycles parked by the roadside.

The younger sister couldn't help but exclaim.

"If only we had bicycles, we could ride there just in time."

Since the two of them had only returned home for the weekend, they hadn't brought much luggage, just a backpack, so they could definitely ride bicycles.

Listening to her younger sister's words, the older sister replied without turning her head.

"Even if we had them, it wouldn't help."

"Have you forgotten how we lost our bikes at the train station when we were little?"

"I'm afraid the bikes would be stolen before Mom and Dad could even come help us ride them back."

After the older sister finished speaking, the younger sister couldn't help but nod.

"That's true."

Because their parents were currently out, it would take at least a few hours for them to get to the train station.

Leaving bicycles parked at the train station for such a long time was indeed a bit risky.

But just at this moment.

Just as the older sister found the ticket change interface and was about to check for tomorrow's times.

The younger sister, beside her, saw something on the bicycles in front of them.

"What is this QR code?"

"Why does it also have 'shared bike' written on it?"

"What is a shared bike anyway?"

Looking at the words on the bike frame, the younger sister was a bit confused.

And she quickly found specific information about shared bikes in the basket.

"Scan the code to unlock the vehicle after downloading the app, deposit two hundred, refundable at any time."

Looking at the information recorded on a label in the bike basket, the younger sister's eyes lit up.

"Sis, wait a moment."

"It looks like we can ride these bikes to the train station."

"There's still time."

Hearing this, the older sister was also stunned.

"What do you mean?"

"Aren't these bicycles someone else's?"

The younger sister directly shook her head.

"No, these seem to be some kind of shared bikes; you can just scan the code and ride them."

"Once you reach your destination, you just lock them."

"I'm already downloading the app; wait for me to try it."

Hearing this, the older sister immediately stopped what she was doing.

After all, if there was still time, she naturally didn't want to return to school tomorrow.

And as they spoke.

The younger sister had already downloaded the app, uploaded the deposit, and was preparing to scan the code. Because the shared bikes had not yet publicly announced their relationship with Junzi Group, they did not cooperate with WeChat and had their own independent app, which helped to avoid attracting too much attention.

Looking at her younger sister preparing to scan the code, the older sister said with some concern.

"Will we get this deposit back later?"

The younger sister laughed.

"We'll know soon enough; we don't have time to think about that much now."

After speaking.

The younger sister directly scanned the vehicle.

The next second.

"Welcome to Hello Bike."

As the sound came from the bicycle, the bike was officially unlocked and ready to ride.

Seeing this, both of their eyes lit up, and the younger sister immediately got on the bike and said to her older sister...

"It seems pretty easy to ride, Sis, hurry up."

Upon seeing this.

The older sister also quickly downloaded the app, then scanned the code to unlock.

Although she was still a bit worried about the deposit, the two of them couldn't care less at this point. After getting on the bikes, they quickly sped towards the train station.

With their speed, they quickly arrived at the train station and finally caught the train.

After locking the bikes and getting on the train, the two of them finally started to worry about the deposit.

"I got my deposit back."

"Me too."

Since it was their first time using shared bikes, both of them were a bit afraid that the deposit wouldn't be refunded. After all, for two students like them, two hundred yuan each was not a small sum.

However.

The process of refunding the deposit was incredibly simple and fast, taking almost no time at all.

After they clicked to apply, the deposit was already refunded to their bank cards. Seeing this, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"But this shared bike really seems quite useful; you can use it anywhere."

"I just don't know if other places have them. It would be great if they were outside the school; then we wouldn't have to take a taxi or walk every time we go out to play," the younger sister said.

And the older sister also nodded.

After experiencing the convenience of shared bikes once, they already really wanted this to become an option for their travel.

Only now.

Except for some third and fourth-tier cities.

In most cities in Yan Country, there was no sign of shared bikes appearing yet.

But the nationwide deployment of shared bikes had already begun to gradually roll out.

At the same time.

As time passed.

Several days later.

Penguin Waimai's market share, influenced by the huge discounts of Penguin Big Cafeteria, finally surpassed Meituan, reaching the top position in the market.

But everyone knew that the current data was only due to the discounts from Penguin Big Cafeteria and was not real data.

Whether Penguin Waimai could maintain its current market share in the end remained an unknown.

Under such circumstances, time advanced another few days.

On this day.

Penguin Waimai announced its latest market share and declared.

That in three days,

The discount event for Penguin Big Cafeteria would officially cease.

Chapter 204: Event Ends, Penguin Big Cafeteria's Final Results

At this time, the data release by Penguin Waimai.

Was twenty days after Penguin Big Cafeteria was officially launched.

During these twenty days.

The huge discounts and promotions of Penguin Big Cafeteria indeed brought a large user base to Penguin Waimai.
