Chapter 1771 Overwhelming

Zheng Chao understood a truth.

It is not afraid of meeting a layman in everything, but it is afraid of encountering a layman and an expert.

If you can directly plug the lithium battery into the electric vehicle, you can replace the lead-acid battery, how can you use his ideas here? Those who do electric cars have already done it.

In his opinion, Lu Yunhao is a standard layman commander, and it is inevitable that he will be laughable and generous.

For example, experts know that building the Three Gorges Dam is a huge project of the century and a super giant project. Except for Huaxia, almost no country can do a water conservancy project of this scale.

In the eyes of people like Lu Yunhao, he would probably say with disdain: "Isn't it just building a dam? What's so difficult? You don't care if it's a one-meter-long dam or a thousand meters, three thousand three hundred thirty A five-meter-long dam, in terms of craftsmanship, is nothing more than plugging at both ends and pouring cement, isn’t that enough?”

How can you reason with such a person?

But Zheng Chao can't help it, who made this his own boss? Moreover, he couldn't resist the attraction of double salary, he had traveled all the way from Yanjing to join him, and now there is no turning back.

So he could only patiently say: "Mr. Lu, I have a general understanding. Lithium batteries are not ordinary batteries. The biggest problem is that they are not stable enough. It is safe, but if there are too many strings, the voltage and current are too high, and during the charging and discharging process, it is easy to burn or explode, and it may even cause a fire.”

"It's so outrageous?" Lu Yunhao's face was full of disbelief.

Zheng Chao explained: "Lithium batteries are really not very safe. If you pierce the lithium battery of a mobile phone with a sharp object, the battery will soon catch fire or even explode."

Lu Yunhao asked again, "Then how did Li Mu do it?"

Zheng Chao said: "Li Mu has the core technology, and he has a way to safely string dozens or hundreds of lithium batteries together, so that they can work stably without overheating, overcharging, spontaneous ignition or expansion and explosion. , This is also the biggest technical threshold for domestic electric vehicle manufacturers to copy, because domestic electric vehicle manufacturers have not studied these, so everything has to start from scratch, they don't know what others do!"

Lu Yunhao thought that this thing was just a big battery box?

Like a four-wheel-drive vehicle with two AA batteries, you can run it when you put it in. The electric car is a big deal. Make a bigger battery box, and you can pack more and put a bunch in it and you can run.

It is only now that I probably understand that there are so many things in it.

Zheng Chao went on to say: "The lithium battery packs trial-produced by several manufacturers now have less than half the capacity of Li Mu's battery packs, and various problems frequently occur. The most serious one is that it exploded directly on the test machine, which almost caused a fire. , In addition, overheating, spontaneous combustion, and inability to charge are all common occurrences, and they have become commonplace. At present, even a lithium battery pack that can travel 100 kilometers stably has not yet been developed."

Lu Yunhao was silent for a moment and said, "Then let's get the lead-acid battery first. If it's a big deal, let's invest more and do a good job of supporting the replacement of electricity. When the electric vehicle manufacturer develops the lithium battery, we will replace it."

Zheng Chao said: "As far as I know, electric vehicle manufacturers basically have to give up research and development."

"Why?" Lu Yunhao frowned and said, "These guys are too useless, right? If you fail once or twice, you won't do it? Don't you know that failure is the mother of success? Back then, I wrote a letter of recommendation to the boss of Southern English and applied for a job. The letter was written a few times before it succeeded, they developed a broken battery, so they have no patience?"

"No." Zheng Chao explained: "I heard them say that it means that there is no market space. If you follow Li Mu's set of hardware, even if there is no technical threshold, the cost of an electric car is more expensive than a 125cc motorcycle. If there is no corporate procurement, ordinary people will not be willing to spend so much money on an electric car."

"Damn, I'll buy it!" Lu Yunhao said anxiously: "If they can really produce a target similar to Li Mu, I'll buy him 300 cars first, oh no, 500 cars"

Zheng Chao said embarrassedly: "On this research and development difficulty,

After the real research and development, if not sell 50,000 units, the manufacturer estimates that it will not be able to make a return.”

If the R&D cost is 10 million yuan and 50,000 vehicles are sold, the R&D cost of each car will account for 200 yuan, and the manufacturer may not be able to recover the cost. If only 10,000 vehicles can be sold, the R&D cost of each vehicle is 1,000 block, then don't even think about getting back to the original.

Therefore, 10,000 car manufacturers will not be interested, let alone Lu Yunhao's 500 cars.

At this time, another colleague who used to be at Southern English knocked on the door and came in. Seeing that both of them were there, he didn't hesitate, and said directly, "Mr. Lu, there is still a problem on the business side."

"what is the problem?"

The other party said: "That's right. We sent a business team to go to the nearby restaurants to find out and found that almost all of them don't have computers."

"No computer" Lu Yunhao frowned: "What does it have to do with us if they don't have a computer?"

The man was stunned and said after a while: "Of course it has something to do with Mr. Lu. If they don't have a computer, they can't run our order-taking background, and they can't access our platform."

"I wipe" Lu Yunhao wanted to understand.

He already felt a little big.

I never imagined that there would be so much involved in this project.

He hurriedly asked, "Are the merchants willing to purchase computers?"

"I don't want to." The man said, "Most of them are small and medium-sized restaurants. The retail price of a computer is three or four thousand. For them, the cost is a bit too high."

"But computers can help them make money!" Lu Yunhao said angrily: "We help them make money, and let them buy a computer and still wrong them?"

The man said helplessly: "At this stage, our platform has not yet been launched, and there is no data to prove that we can help them make money, so they are reluctant to buy a computer rashly, because just buying a computer is not enough, and they have to deal with broadband and connect to the Internet. Just do it."

"Damn," Lu Yunhao said angrily for a while, "I think there is something wrong with your way of doing things. You have to work hard at everything. If it really doesn't work, then think of a way to do it, instead of coming back and telling me this. It's not working!"

After speaking, he asked, "Have you tried hard?"

"I worked hard," the man said aggrievedly: "Our business mouths are all torn and useless."

Lu Yunhao asked angrily, "Then I want to ask, how did Li Mu solve this problem?"

The man said: "All the merchants Li Mu cooperated with in Yanjing, the computers are provided by Ele.me for the merchants to use. Their policy is that Ele.me pays and gives them a free trial for a period of time. After the trial period expires, If they feel that Ele.me can really bring them income, they can buy their own computers, or buy them from Ele.me, or rent them from Ele.me.”

Lu Yunhao said in amazement: "Li Mu's business model requires too much capital investment! Buying electric cars, buying mobile phones, and buying computers, if you think about it, his investment in a city will not be less than tens of millions, right?"

Zheng Chao, who had not spoken, said, "Li Mu's capital is very, very strong, and he holds shares in the electric car factory, so the cost has been reduced, and he also holds shares in Shenzhou, and the cost is also low. I don't know, but there should be good deals."

Lu Yunhao suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

It turned out that if you wanted to follow Li Mu's footsteps as a food delivery platform, the total investment in the early stage of a city alone might exceed 100 million yuan.

In addition to office space, operators, developers, and development costs, it is necessary to hire a large number of riders, equip each rider with high-performance electric vehicles, mobile phones, and equip each merchant with computers and broadband access services, and other business operations. Up, there will be a lot of operating costs, and various advertising and publicity will be required.

I thought that 20 million dollars was a lot, but looking at it now, it was just enough.

No, this is just barely able to cope with the exposed demand. If there is anything else that I have not thought of, it is likely to have a financial crisis.

Lu Yunhao, who originally thought he had a bright future, suddenly felt like he was walking on thin ice.

At this time, someone knocked on the door and came in, it was Lu Yunhao's secretary.

"Mr. Lu, Li Mu just officially announced on Weibo and Twitter that Hungry is going to enter the Shanghai stock market in the near future!"

"Wori" Lu Yunhao immediately sat at his desk, opened Weibo Twitter, and then searched Li Mu's personal Weibo.

"Ele.me is about to enter the Shanghai stock market and launch the online food ordering business in the Shanghai stock market. The Ele.me Shanghai stock market channel will be officially launched in a week. Congratulations to the citizens and netizens of the Shanghai stock market, you will soon be able to enjoy convenient online ordering services. ."

Li Mu's popularity in Weibo, Twitter and the entire entertainment and public circles is much higher than that of Lu Yunhao.

Others want celebrities to forward a Weibo, at least tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions.

However, when Li Mu posted a Weibo, he didn't need to say a word, he didn't need to type a greeting, and countless stars spontaneously forwarded it.

In addition, Li Mu himself has the most fans on Weibo, so Li Mu's Weibo exploded on the entire Weibo at once.

Top stars, first-tier stars, second-tier stars all the way to 18th-tier little stars, as long as they knew about this, they all reposted Li Mu's Weibo.

Some said, wow, support President Li, support Eleme!

Some people say that you don't have to worry about what to eat when you go to the Shanghai market in the future! Hungry when you are hungry!

Others said that I am from the Shanghai market, and I am blessed now, thank you Mr. Li!

What's more, I have been in the Shanghai stock market all the year round. Oh my god, I am so grateful to Mr. Li. Technology changes life!

So many stars were dispatched together, and all of a sudden, it created a super popular on Weibo.

Li Mu has long been surprised by this. He knows better than anyone what the entertainment industry is like.

In my last life, there was a great director who made a relatively good movie. The box office was very good and the word of mouth was even better. The people said it was not good-looking. As a result, almost all the stars in the entertainment industry reposted on Weibo and said they liked it very much.

This incident was quite famous at the beginning. After that incident, Li Mu already understood how much people in the entertainment industry do things.

So these people are earning to help themselves forward, and he doesn't appreciate it at all.

But although he didn't appreciate it, Lu Yunhao was also frightened.

Are you hungry? Come as soon as you say it, and the battle is so big that it is overwhelming.
