After lunch, Chen Yao, Cai Feifei and Sun Zhennan came to the automobile factory.
With an investment of 20 billion, this super factory is expected to produce more than 1 million cars per year.
He put on an N95 mask and walked with the factory director in the factory's production workshop.
There are very few workers in the workshop, most of them are robots. The entire car assembly workshop is full of a sense of technology.
The robot cooperates with the automated equipment to complete the assembly of the Zhanlong car. The speed is very fast, and the assembly is completed in just 1 minute.
With the hot sales of Zhanlong, the biggest concern is the production capacity issue. Today, the completion and commissioning of this super factory can solve the problem of buyers waiting too long.
After receiving a call from his secretary, Chen Yao walked into the office building. The secretary took him into the reception room, where a big boss was waiting for him.
Pushing the door open, the first thing you see is a man in a black suit sitting at the table drinking black tea.
"Congratulations, your super factory is completed." He immediately stood up and walked towards Chen Yao.
The secretary introduced: "This is the boss of the taxi company, Mr. Liu Yongda."
Taxi company? Chen Yao was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he understood the purpose of his coming.
He sat down and took the tea cup from the secretary, and asked: "Boss Liu, just tell me, is it to purchase Zhanlong Automobile, right?"
"That's right." Liu Yongda nodded: "My Baima Taxi Company needs to purchase a large number of Zhanlong vehicles and put them into operation in major cities across the country."
Chen Yao took a sip of tea and said, "What do you want to do is a car-sharing business?"
Liu Yongda did not hide it: "Haha, Mr. Chen is really smart. Yes, car sharing will become a big business, and our company is ready to enter this field."
Sharing cars is nothing new. With the rise of the sharing economy, in addition to shared bicycles and shared power banks, shared cars have also emerged.
But the car-sharing business has never been very popular.
Unlike shared bicycles, there is almost no technical threshold for bicycles. As long as an individual basically knows how to ride a bicycle, naturally the users are very skilled and can survive on a huge user base.
But there is a threshold for car sharing, which requires a driver¡¯s license, and most people who actually have a driver¡¯s license have their own private cars.
This limits its user base to not being very large. The Internet is playing with demographic dividends. If there are not enough users, it will inevitably suffer losses.
With the cost of car purchase and maintenance, this kind of shared car is simply unaffordable.
Now, with the birth of l5 autonomous vehicles, shared cars have truly ushered in a bright future.
The person who gets on the bus no longer needs a driver¡¯s license and is just a pure passenger, which expands its audience.
Even a minor student can use a shared car.
So what¡¯s the difference between it and a taxi?
The difference is that there is no driver, Zhanlong Auto has no concept of a driving position, yes, there is no driving position, all seats are for ordinary passengers.
This means that taking a shared car is cheaper than a traditional taxi.
It is no longer a means of transportation, it will evolve into a "fluid private space".
¡°Many people who take shared cars do not necessarily use them to go to their destinations, but just get in the car to stroll around, eat and drink, watch movies and play games.
Chen Yao asked: "How many units are you planning to purchase?"
Liu Yongda raised a finger: "Ten thousand units!"
Chen Yao was thinking that it was time for the company to develop a ¡®travel¡¯ app and incorporate shared cars into the platform.
Thinking of this, he said: "I have a request. Your company's shared cars must be included in my travel platform."
"Why?" Liu Yongda's eyes were puzzled.
Chen Yao¡¯s lips curled up: ¡°You¡¯ll understand if you think about it.¡±
Liu Yongda drank tea and thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized that since he wanted to make a travel app, the only competitor was 'didi travel'.
In domestic travel software, didi has an absolute monopoly.
By incorporating all shared cars into the legendary travel platform, Chen Yao will have the capital to compete with Didi, and maybe even become the industry leader.
After all, driverless cars are safer than real drivers and can avoid vicious incidents between drivers and passengers.
Don¡¯t underestimate the app, it is a giant company with a market value exceeding US$100 billion every minute.
As for autonomous vehicles becoming mainstream in the future,Wouldn¡¯t the taxi driver lose his job?
This is not a problem at all. When an industry declines, another industry must rise. As the share of autonomous vehicles grows, the original taxi drivers can engage in tasks related to autonomous vehicles.
Liu Yongda said suspiciously: "Your travel app hasn't been released yet. Is there any user traffic?"
"You don't have to worry about this." Chen Yao said: "The app made by Legend Track will become popular. If there is not enough traffic after one year, I will allow you to move to other platforms."
Liu Yongda touched his chin and thought carefully for a long time, then nodded: "Okay!"
Next, the two parties discussed some details. The secretary completed the contract. Chen Yao and Liu Yongda confirmed the contract and immediately signed their names.
He will purchase 10,000 Zhanlong D1 units, with a total price of about 2 billion. These 10,000 shared cars will all be used on the legendary travel platform.
On the other side, Cai Feifei also signed a car sales contract, both of which were large-volume purchase orders from commercial companies.
There are contracts from hospitals to convert the cars into ambulances, and there are also logistics companies to use them as transport vehicles.
Orders were signed one after another, for more than 50,000 cars, and the total contract exceeded 10 billion!
The secretary pushed the door open and walked in and said: "Mr. Chen, the Gigafactory is holding a car roll-off ceremony."
Chen Yao asked her to put the contract in order, then got up and walked out.
The 500,000th car successfully rolled off the assembly line!
"Wow!" Chen Yao, Cai Feifei, Sun Zhennan and the factory workers applauded!
No matter which car company the 500,000th car rolls off the assembly line, it is a major milestone event!
Standing on the platform outside the factory, Chen Yao held the microphone and spoke to the workers on site: "I once said that the annual sales volume of Zhanlong is 1 million units.
But now, in just half a year, our car sales have exceeded 500,000 units!
With the release of Zhanlong D1, sales in the second half of the year will only be higher, and there is no pressure to sell one million cars annually! "
At the scene, thousands of workers cheered loudly.
After the car off-line ceremony ended, Chen Yao walked off the platform and took a bottle of Coke from Cai Feifei.
After drinking it gurglingly, Chen Yao asked: "With one million sales this year, what is our world ranking?"
Cai Feifei raised a finger, her fingers were fair and slender: "Zhanlong, the world's number one electric car!" (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com
