Chapter 1770 (1/2)
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 forbidden cities in China at this stage, more and more cities will join the forbidden army with the rapid pace of urbanization.
At that time, it will be more and more difficult to deliver the takeout by motorcycle.
The normal number of roads is to use a motorcycle first, then go to the ordinary lead-acid battery electric vehicle when the motorcycle can't ride, and then go to the lithium battery electric vehicle when the performance of the lead-acid electric vehicle is more and more accumulated.
Li Mu simply went to the lithium battery electric vehicle in one step, so that he could not only once and for all, but also stand at the highest point of complying with the regulations of various cities and energy conservation and environmental protection.
Lu Yunhao became a monk halfway. It's good to understand the logic of the front and background. It's almost impossible to expect him to be so thoughtful.
So, when he thought that the team of riders said ”move”, he realized that it's easy for people to move, but not for cars.
If it can't solve the distribution end, then how to develop the platform is bullshit.
After all, it's the o2o project that Li Mu said, the timeliness is the most important. Otherwise, the user orders a meal online, the merchant sends him a post, and when the goods arrive, the buddy starves to death.
Lu Yunhao is suffering a little. If it is true that according to Zheng Chao, a car is equipped with five or six batteries, there are too many problems behind NIMA.
First of all, it is a matter of cost. If an electric car costs three thousand yuan and an electric battery costs four hundred yuan, a car will cost more than 5000, and one thousand cars will cost five million yuan.
The point is, the Shanghai market is so big, how can a thousand cars play? A thousand cars in a district may not be enough.
If it's two thousand, ten million won't be there.
What's more, how to manage with so many batteries? All for the rider? unrealistic.
Meal delivery is mainly in busy areas, and 80% of riders can't afford to live in such a busy place. They may be in the suburbs, in the urban-rural junction, if the battery is ten kilometers away from the work place, isn't the car going back to pick up the battery after ten kilometers?
A battery runs for 30 kilometers, first 10 kilometers to the work site, then 10 kilometers to replace the battery. How many can I run for the remaining 10 kilometers?
Therefore, the battery must learn from Li Mu and manage in a team.
The first time is to charge at night, and then set up a unified point in some parts of the city during the day. Put the prepared and fully charged batteries there, and let the riders change them by themselves.
Two thousand cars, behind them are ten thousand batteries. Every day, ten thousand batteries need to be managed for recycling, distribution, charging, management and storage. The workload itself is large enough. At least it needs a large factory to solve it?
What's more, it has to be equipped with several trucks and a large number of employees to drive the battery to a fixed place in the early morning every day
Lu Yunhao thought of this and kept slapping his forehead: ”this Li Mu is really annoying. Why does he need to provide his own battery car? Why don't we let the riders solve it by themselves? It's not enough to give them a little more salary, make them feel profitable, and let them have the motivation to solve the transportation problems by themselves? If you want to solve such a complete set of support system, just think about it and you will be bored... ”
”There's no way,” said Zheng Chao. ”Mr. Lu, Li Mu has already started. If we let the riders solve the problem by themselves, the attraction will naturally be weaker.”
Lu Yunhao said hatefully, ”Li Mu is increasing the threshold for others to compete with him! After all, he is the first one to start the business, and the rules of the industry are completely set by him... ”
Zheng Chao nodded and said: ”at present, the best way for us is to hurry up the time to purchase a batch of electric vehicles, and build a battery management team, rent a place to store and charge the batteries in batches, and then set up several power exchange places in a relatively prosperous area.”
”Well...” Lu Yunhao's face was livid. ”You can do it. Hurry to choose suppliers and purchase in batches.”
”Then I suggest that we hurry to rent a warehouse in the suburb and store the car there when it comes,” Zheng said
”Good.” Lu Yunhao said, ”it's up to you, too!”
Zheng Chao asked again, ”President Lu, look at the budget side...”
Lu Yunhao thought: ”let's make a tentative plan of 10 million!”
”Good!”
……
A few days later, Zheng Chao selected a manufacturer of electric vehicles in Maoming City, Guangdong Province.
From this manufacturer, he selected an electric vehicle with a nominal range of 35 kilometers, booked 2000 at a time, and ordered 10000 batteries of the same type.
