Chapter 1770 I'm so Uncomfortable!

The reason why Li Mu first asked Elon Musk to make a small lithium battery pack and a small brushless motor for himself was to solve the problem once and for all.

Although there are not many cities in the country that ban motorcycles at this stage, as the pace of urbanization is getting faster and faster, more and more cities will join the army of banning motorcycles.

At that time, it will only become more and more difficult to deliver food by motorcycle.

The normal number of roads is to use a motorcycle first, and then get on an ordinary lead-acid battery electric vehicle when the motorcycle cannot be ridden, and when the performance of the lead-acid electric vehicle is more and more accumulated, then get on the lithium battery electric vehicle.

Li Mu simply put it in place in one step and directly got on the lithium battery electric vehicle, so that not only can it be done once and for all, but the key point is that he can also stand on the highest point of complying with the regulations of various cities, energy saving and environmental protection.

Lu Yunhao became a monk halfway through, and it is not bad to be able to understand the logic of the front and back. It is almost impossible to expect him to think so thoroughly.

Therefore, when he thought that the team of riders would just do it, he realized that people are good at recruiting, but cars are not easy to handle.

If the delivery side cannot be solved, then the development of the platform is nonsense.

After all, it is the O2O project that Li Mu said, and timeliness is the most important thing. Otherwise, the user will order a meal online, and the merchant will send him a postal service. When the goods arrive, this guy will starve to death.

Lu Yunhao was a little uncomfortable all of a sudden. If you really follow what Zheng Chao said, a car is equipped with five or six batteries, there are too many problems behind this Nima.

The first is the cost issue. An electric car costs 3,000 yuan, and a battery costs 400 yuan. A car is more than 5,000 yuan, and a 1000-car car costs 5 million yuan.

The point is, the Shanghai stock market is so big, how can a thousand cars be enough to play? A thousand cars running in one zone may not be enough.

If it is 2,000 cars, 10 million will be gone.

Moreover, with so many batteries, how to manage? Let the rider take care of it all? Not realistic.

Food delivery is mainly in prosperous areas. 80% of riders can’t afford to live in such prosperous places. They may be in the suburbs or in the urban-rural border. If the battery is 10 kilometers away from the workplace, wouldn’t the car have to go back to get the battery after 10 kilometers?

Running 30 kilometers with a single battery, first run 10 kilometers to the workplace, then leave 10 kilometers and run back to change the battery. How many jobs can you run for the remaining 10 kilometers?

Therefore, the battery must learn from Li Mu and manage it by himself.

The last time it has to be charged at the same time at night, and then set up points in some places in the urban area during the day, put the prepared and fully charged batteries there, and let the riders replace them by themselves.

2,000 vehicles have 10,000 batteries behind them. Every day, they have to manage 10,000 batteries for recycling, distribution, charging, management, and warehousing. This workload itself is large enough. At least a large factory can be used to solve it.

Moreover, what is even worse is that several trucks and a lot of employees have to be equipped to drive the batteries to a fixed location every morning...

Thinking of this, Lu Yunhao kept slapping his forehead: "This Li Mu is really annoying, why does he want to provide the battery car himself? Why not let the riders solve it by themselves, the big deal is to pay the riders a little more, make them feel profitable, and let them have Wouldn’t it be better if the power solves the transportation on its own? To get such a complete set of support systems, just thinking about it is annoying…”

Zheng Chao said: "There is no way, Mr. Lu, Li Mu has already set a precedent. If we let the riders solve it on their own, the attraction will naturally be weaker."

Lu Yunhao said bitterly: "Li Mu is increasing the threshold for others to compete with him! After all, he is the first person to set a precedent, and the rules of the industry are completely set by him..."

Zheng Chao nodded and said: "The best way for us at present is to hurry up and purchase a batch of electric vehicles, and at the same time build a battery management team, rent a place to store batteries and charge batteries in batches, and then make a more prosperous place. Set up several replacement locations in the area.”

"Well..." Lu Yunhao said with a livid face: "It's up to you to handle this matter. Hurry up to choose a good supplier and buy it in bulk."

Zheng Chao said: "Then I suggest that we hurry up and rent a warehouse in the suburbs.

When the car arrives, store it there. "

"Okay." Lu Yunhao said, "It's up to you too!"

Zheng Chao asked again, "Mr. Lu, look at the budget..."

Lu Yunhao thought for a while: "Ten million tentatively!"

"it is good!"

...

A few days later, Zheng Chao selected an electric vehicle manufacturer in Maoming City, Guangdong Province.

He selected an electric vehicle from this manufacturer with a nominal cruising range of 35 kilometers, and ordered 2,000 vehicles in one go, as well as 10,000 yuan of the same type of battery.

When he presented the product to Lu Yunhao, Lu Yunhao signed it without much research, and then asked him, "How long will it take for the other party to deliver it?"

Zheng Chao said: "We will deliver 100 vehicles to us this weekend, and then start to fully produce our orders. We can deliver 500 vehicles next weekend, and the rest will be delivered within this month."

"Okay!" Lu Yunhao nodded and said, "Most of the technology development work has been carried out. Now we have to hurry up to get a group of cars, and then recruit a group of riders and start training them."

Zheng Chao hurriedly said, "Mr. Lu, we still have to purchase a batch of mobile phones."

Lu Yunhao asked angrily: "We just purchased electric vehicles, why do we need to purchase mobile phones?"

Zheng Chao said helplessly: "A large part of the migrant workers do not have mobile phones... After all, mobile phones are quite expensive now, and mobile phone tariffs are not cheap."

"Fuck..." Lu Yunhao stared at him and said, "I have to prepare a car for them, and I have to prepare a mobile phone for them. Do I have to prepare clothes and shoes and hats for them?"

Zheng Chao nodded and said, "Is it hungry, they provide uniform uniforms... and I asked, their uniforms are all made by large domestic foundries, and they are the same foundry as Adidas and Nike. The same production lines, materials and manufacturing processes.”

"Damn..." Lu Yunhao asked angrily: "Does Li Mu have money to burn and nowhere to spend?"

Zheng Chao suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, Mr. Lu, I forgot one thing!"

Lu Yunhao shouted angrily, "What's the matter? Say it!"

Zheng Chao said embarrassedly: "We have to customize the incubator for the rider, otherwise the meal will easily get cold, and once it gets cold, the user experience will be greatly reduced..."

"My Nima..."

Lu Yunhao was going crazy.

A bunch of outsiders can't be as comprehensive and meticulous as Li Mu.

In fact, even if I was Ele.me in my previous life, I was a little bit more mature and refined, but even so, before Li Mu was reborn, the overall level of Ele.me riders, including ability, quality, and equipment, was not as good as that of Li Mu now. rider.

It can be said that Li Mu is the peak at the beginning. If a competitor like Lu Yunhao wants to catch up, it really takes a lot of thought and a lot of money to achieve it.

Zheng Chao added: "I asked someone to find out, Ele.me's incubator itself is made of thermal insulation material, and the thermal insulation effect is very good. The key is that there are electric heating wires on six sides, which can be directly powered by electric car batteries, which can be maintained for a long time. The temperature of the meal, if the rider delivers it faster, when the user gets it, it is not much different from when it was just made in the restaurant.”

"Is this a lot of money?" Lu Yunhao asked while rubbing his temples.

Zheng Chao said embarrassedly: "The key is not the question of money, the key is that we cannot realize the function of the heating wire to keep the stability."

"Why?" Lu Yunhao asked, "How much does it cost to add a heating wire? It's a lot of money for an incubator, isn't it?"

Zheng Chao said embarrassedly, "Mr. Lu, it's not about money!"

"What's the problem?!"

Zheng Chao saw that he couldn't get to that point, so he could only say straight: "It's the problem with the battery. The battery we can buy has a limited amount of power. If we supply power to the heating wire of the incubator, it will take 20 kilometers to be fully charged. can't run."

Lu Yunhao finally turned the corner and sighed, "This shit makes me really uncomfortable..."

Battery……

Why is Li Mu so arrogant? How can he achieve such a long battery life with a laptop battery? !

Thinking of this, Lu Yunhao said angrily: "In this case, I might as well invest several million to an electric car factory and let them develop Li Mu's battery technology! Wouldn't this solve the problem once and for all?"

Zheng Chao said: "Actually, after the Ele.me electric car came out, several major electric car manufacturers in China wanted to copy it, but the technical threshold was very high."

"What technical threshold can this thing have? Our country's scientific and technological development is already very powerful. Missiles have long been able to hit the United States, which is 10,000 kilometers away, and an electric vehicle can't solve it?"

Zheng Chao reluctantly said: "Mr. Lu, technology is not calculated like this. The batteries Li Mu used are 18650 batteries. This thing itself is a light-weight, small-volume, large-capacity battery, and most of it is used in small home appliances. , such as laptops, ordinary use 4 sections, better use 6 sections, and some strong light flashlights can keep highlighting for hours with one section. Before Li Mu did this, no one used it on electric vehicles. Ah, domestic manufacturers do not have any exclusive technology for electric vehicles at all. They all produce their own frames, purchase batteries from lead-acid battery manufacturers, purchase motors from motor manufacturers, and then use switches, brakes, tires, etc. purchased from other manufacturers. These headlights, I installed them on my frame in the factory, and ran off the ground."

"The electric vehicles produced in China are technically inferior to the remote control electric vehicles that children play with. In addition to the battery, motor and transmission, the remote control electric vehicle also has a set of remote control system. The technical level of this thing depends on the It's similar to the four-wheel drive that children play with, buy a car frame, install two AA batteries, install a small motor, a couple of gears, get a shift switch, power on and run..."

Lu Yunhao stomped his feet angrily and said, "I know, I didn't let them develop an electric car that can be remotely controlled! I didn't want them to comprehensively improve the strength of batteries, motors, and transmissions, so I asked them to upgrade the batteries. Is it not enough to use a lithium battery? What the hell is so hard about this? My sister's son also plays a four-wheel drive car. Earlier, he said that the power was not strong enough with ordinary batteries. Later, he bought two full-capacity rechargeable batteries and put them in it and ran. Woohoo, you just let them buy some lithium batteries and put them in, isn't that a goddamn good thing?"
