Chapter 881 Keep a Low Profile
"Honeycomb? Tom, do you know how big this plan is. If it is fully realized, it will be even more outrageous than the Rocket Power Company of your boss."
"Jeff, what our boss often says is, it's too bad, I'm so poor that I only have money left, so what should I do?"
"Pfft, cough, cough, well, well, your boss is indeed not short of money. I just didn't expect that he is so good at money."
"Che, you can also see it as a kind of performance art. If it is an investment, it would be good to buy Wal-Mart and Costco, especially Wal-Mart, which has no rivals in warehouse stores."
Jeff Bezos really doesn't know what to say, let alone, William White may really say that. Seriously speaking, this guy is only in his early thirties, even if he is not young and frivolous, he should have a domineering personality.
"Well, Tom, although he can't help me for the time being, it will still be of great use in the future." In fact, he, Jeff Bezos, didn't want to take this logistics company into his arms. It's a pity that although the idea is good, he doesn't have that much money.
William White made it very clear that this thing is not very profitable. If you want to invest, buddies are always welcome.
The richest man is not engaged in real estate, but a storage company. When the news was announced, the Wall Street Journal was still a little embarrassed.
What kind of real estate does the editor-in-chief think? If he can't even understand this, how can he be the editor-in-chief of financial media.
Whether he knew it or not, he still had to do it. Anyway, there are bricks who are responsible, and this is none of their business. Besides, readers and investors don't care about things like warehousing companies. In their view, it's just a small investment.
"Professor Owen, look, I set up a main warehouse on the east and west coasts. Then I set up a second-level sub-warehouse in each state, and a third-level sub-warehouse in the city, and then various satellite warehouses."
"William, are you planning to rebuild the U.S. postal system?" Owen Jacobs, who had just robbed two boxes of Cuban cigars, was very happy, and he didn't mind teasing William White.
"Don't be kidding me, this thing worries me to death, and now this sales volume has overwhelmed the postal service. If the annual growth rate is 100%, their system will be paralyzed in less than three years."
William White also looked bitter. In his opinion, the speed is more than 100%. In less than three years, the number of people who often use the Internet to shop may exceed five million.
"Isn't that an exaggeration? Amazon is just starting now, and the shopping experience is not very good. The book I bought a week ago, I don't know where it is now."
"So, if you can't improve the shopping experience, the more customers you have, the more trouble you have.
You see, every package has a barcode, and these packages will be distributed in the general warehouse. All trucks have GPS, and you could theoretically see the location of your package from the internet. "
Owen Jacobs froze, this idea is really cool. If it is really possible, online shopping may have an explosive period.
"It still doesn't work. There is no 7-11 near my house. If I have to walk a few blocks, I might as well go to the bookstore."
"Ten years, ten years time, there will be at least 10,000 7-11s in the United States. Besides, if you don't need to use it immediately, can't you use other transportation methods?"
"My God, what company would let you use satellite positioning like this? At least 10,000 cars?"
"These are not problems. GPS is actually very nonsense. Let alone tens of thousands, it doesn't matter if it is a few million. I am locating the location of the truck, not launching a missile, just a triangulation."
"Okay, since you have decided, we can execute it. However, I suggest to cooperate with Westinghouse. We will provide the software system by ourselves, and they provide the automatic storage facilities."
"Well, yes, I have no production capacity."
"Okay, I'll dispatch people when I get back. By the way, this is the latest CDMA architecture, and our capacity is ten times that of GSM."
"Yes, with this stuff, our European friends should cry. This is the best news this year, so what, the patent application is ready?"
Owen Jacobs gave this guy a blank look. My name is Jacobs, not Tesla. If there is no patent for this thing, what are you doing out of it?
"Pfft, hahaha, hahaha, I laughed to death."
"Hehe, what's so funny? Say it out and have fun."
"Do you know, Motorola plans to launch a communication satellite next year. Poor boy, if CDMA has such a large bandwidth, their toy may be cool."
Owen Jacobs shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't care, he was never optimistic about the Yixing plan. What an idiot to stay in the sun and talk on the phone.
It may be OK for commercial use, and you’ll be done with a dozen or so satellites. If you have dozens or hundreds of satellites, unless the Tesla rocket is successfully launched, you’ll just wait and see.
Communication satellites are actually not expensive, what is expensive is the launch cost and insurance cost. The service life of one of your satellites is only ten years, my God, just build a launch base for you.
Of course, William White is not optimistic either, but his reason is different from that of Owen Jacobs. The Yixing project is still very good, and it is definitely more convenient than building base stations everywhere.
Too advanced, and the technology is not yet mature. Now you need to stand under the sun to find satellites, but you won't need them in the future. In the era of 6G, maybe it really uses satellites.
After arranging the most important part, other things are out of his control. Of course, starting so many projects at the same time cannot be completed in a short while.
"This is? Is it going to replace the US Postal Service?"
"Ahem, boss, it doesn't seem to be the case. However, Wal-Mart can't use such a large storage system, right?"
The boss of Damo has a big head, and it is impossible to understand the Internet, and the old man does not know how to use a computer. Warehouses and convenience stores also have so many tricks, you really can toss.
"Andy, this doesn't make sense. If he takes on Amazon's business, he will definitely lose money and vomit blood."
"I asked someone to analyze it, but I can't explain it. Boss, could it be some kind of smoke bomb? Since this thing is called a beehive, where are the bees and where are their prey?"
Since you can't figure it out, you can only think about it in the long run. Looking at the current situation, it is obvious that there is no need for financing.
However, the old guy is very sure that when the financing window opens, there will be answers to these things. If you can't explain clearly, why let others invest.
"Andy, are those guys still on strike?"
"It seems that we have negotiated with the guild. The treatment of the postal system is good. They have tax incentives and financial subsidies.
Besides, their guild was just that, more of a bureaucracy. "
"Oh, the damn Automobile Association. Is it still monolithic?"
"Confusion, more confusion than before, I still hope that the government will increase tariffs. However, Tesla does not seem to be specifically mentioned."
"Wicked people still need to be grinded by wicked people. Aren't they awesome? They dare to throw dead fish at other people's newspapers."
Andy smiled bitterly, you can try throwing a dead fish at White Media. Most likely, you will become a dead fish at night. Speaking of tricks outside the market, you may not be opponents if you tie them together. Look at that Albert, he has been hacked.
