Yanjing, No. 18 Changsheng Road, Sanwang Cafe.
Hou Jun and Xiao Jun sat at an outdoor table, gazing at the Gaode Map Headquarters across the street, a nostalgic look in their eyes.
Back then, Gaode was merely a division of Datong Industry.
The three of them had purchased GPS navigation devices from Neon, localized the accompanying software, and then loaded them with maps of Hua Country.
That was the prototype for Gaode's very first product!
"Back then, I rented fifteen cars and drove all over Yanjing with surveying equipment. It was only after we finished mapping that I remembered we didn't even have a surveying license."
Xiao Jun said, taking a gentle sip of his coffee.
"I'm the one who wronged you," Hou Jun said with a sincere sigh.
Xiao Jun was the true entrepreneur of the trio. He was the one who led the team that spent over half a year crisscrossing Hua Country to create the first version of Gaode's national electronic map.
