Chapter 1619: Celebrate

As the first shot into O2O, and even a product of O2O Genesis in this era, Ele.me plays a vital role in Li Mu's eyes.

Li Mu even wants to take out Uber's car-sharing model, but Huaxia really does not have this condition at this stage, and the number of private cars is far from enough, in this case, Uber's model has no chance to take root even if it is launched in China.

Therefore, Li Mu decided to do Ele.me in Huaxia first, and go to the United States to do Uber next year, as for whether Ele.me's model can be applied to the American market, Li Mu is not too hopeful, Ele.me can succeed in Huaxia, depending on Huaxia's labor costs are much lower than those in the United States, a single delivery fee of three or four yuan can provide a stable and generous salary for the delivery staff, but if it is put in the American market, the delivery fee may be the same as the meal fee, or even higher than the meal cost.

Due to the unique geographical advantages of the United States and the strong level of development of agriculture and animal husbandry, such countries no longer worry about food from a hundred years ago, and they have a strong food production capacity, which is even far more than their consumption capacity, so in a country like the United States, the cost of basic food is very low, so low to unimaginable.

When Li Mu went to the United States before, he found that the price of a McDonald's Big Mac set meal in the United States was only 299 US dollars, which was only 20 yuan when converted into RMB, but the monthly income of a low-income person in the United States was also about 10 US dollars.

And Li Mu also found a very interesting phenomenon in the United States, the vast majority of Americans like to do things by themselves, weeding, repairing houses, and repairing water pipes, not because Americans are more industrious than Chinese, but their labor costs are too high, and it may cost hundreds of dollars to invite others to come home to open a toilet, and a leather pin to the toilet can even be bought in a 2 yuan store.

Because of the high labor cost, it has cultivated the character of Americans who can do it themselves and never invite people, so Li Mu feels that in such a market environment, Ele.me has no soil for development.

But uber is different, although this thing is also O2O in the strict sense, but in fact it is a perfect model of the sharing economy, the United States has a developed automobile industry, private cars are more developed, but the per capita debt is very high, for such a national situation, the sharing economy has a very good soil for development, at a small level, it can help ordinary people to cash in their idle resources;

An uber alone is a behemoth with a valuation of tens of billions of dollars, and if it can be incubated through Makino Technology in the future, then the valuation or market value of Makino Technology will once again be greatly promoted.

Li Mu counted with his fingers, his future industrial planning is really amazing, the entire Apple is in his own hands, the Android system is also in his own hands, and the cloud service business is also laid out very early, and when the time comes, plus Tesla, Face, and Uber, it is simply necessary to unify the rhythm of the IT industry.

After the meeting with the team and the formulation of the Ele.me product plan, Li Mu still waited for CCTV to prepare for filming and complete the donation ceremony with the Forbidden City, but CCTV had not given him any news, and Spielberg, who had been filming "Flying Tigers" in Yunnan Province, called him and told him that the preliminary filming of "Flying Tigers" would be completed in the next ten days.

Hearing the news, Li Mu was too excited to hold the phone, he asked Spielberg excitedly, "Stephen, after the finalization, how long will it take for post-production?"

Spielberg said, "Once it's all done, the production team will immediately leave for the U.S. and then finish the post-production work in Hollywood, the most of which is computer special effects, but given that we use a lot of real scenes, the amount of computer special effects work on post-production has been reduced to a certain extent, so I should be able to do it in three to four months." ”

Li Mu said, "Three to four months, that is, the end of this year or the beginning of next year. ”

Spielberg said, "yes, it's basically these two milestones." ”

Li Mu hurriedly said, "Then we will strive to release it at the time node of the Chinese New Year, probably in late January next year, and find other suitable time windows in North America and Europe." ”

Spielberg smiled, "It's definitely no problem in late January, and the time node is enough." ”

As he spoke, Spielberg said, "By the way, Mr. Li, I heard Du Wei say, you wrote a theme song for our movie, I want to ask, when will this song come out? I want to know about it first, and it's best to listen to it first." ”

Li Mu then remembered that he had changed Greenday's "21guns" to a version of the lyrics praising the war, and was going to let Du Wei take the time to record it, but then Du Wei went to the crew, and he had been busy and didn't care about it.

So Li Mu asked him, "Steve, is Du Wei's role finished?"

Spielberg said, "Miss Du Wei has the last three sets of shots tomorrow, and the shooting will be completely finished, and we have prepared a cake and champagne for her in advance, and we will have a banquet for her to celebrate the finale." ”

Saying that, Spielberg said again, "Miss Du Wei is the first to finish the starring role." ”

Li Mu immediately said, "Then I will fly over tomorrow morning to participate in this finale banquet, and thank everyone in person for their efforts in the past half a year. ”

Spielberg hurriedly said, "That's great, I'll tell you to get ready." ”

Li Mu hurriedly said, "Don't tell everyone, give them a surprise when the time comes." ”

Spielberg laughed and said, "Well, since you insist." ”

"Okay, then we'll see you tomorrow!"

The movie "Flying Tigers" is of great significance to Li Mu, it is not only a good opportunity for the world to face history, but also an opportunity for Westerners to face up to China, only such a movie can make the West understand the sacrifices and contributions made by the Chinese people for world peace during World War II, and also let them understand that Japan's extreme bushido spirit tramples on and destroys human peace.

Moreover, from a small level of interest, this film is the first time that Li Mu has cooperated with Hollywood to invest 100 million US dollars, and it is a stepping stone for Makino Technology to enter the world film and television industry.

It is precisely because he attaches great importance to this movie that Li Mu decided to rush over to get together with everyone while the movie has not yet been completed and the main actors are still on the shooting site, even if it is a celebration banquet in advance.

For big-budget movies, it's too difficult to want the whole crew to celebrate the completion together, generally speaking, after all the shots of a big-name star are finished, he will leave early and quickly start to devote himself to the next job, such as Tom Hanks, his role may be completed a week in advance of Leonardo, he will never wait for Leonardo here for a week, and then celebrate the completion with him.

Therefore, Li Mu felt that he must take advantage of this opportunity to rush over.

After hanging up Spielberg's phone, Li Mu immediately called Li Ziwei, and as soon as she got through, she said to her, "Ziwei, you quickly help me contact the charter company, I will fly to Spring City tomorrow morning, and in addition, contact the Southwest General Aviation Company again, and prepare two helicopters to fly directly from Spring City Airport to the set of "Flying Tigers". ”

Li Ziwei said in surprise, "Mr. Li, are you in such a hurry?"

"Yes. Li Mu said, "They are about to finish one after another, and it will be too late if they don't rush over." ”

Li Ziwei hurriedly said, "Okay, then I'll contact the charter company and the Southwest General Aviation Company." ”

Li Mu said, "Also, you contact Yanjing's largest imported wine agent, and help me prepare a batch of fine champagne and red wine, with a budget of about one million, and transport it to the capital airport tomorrow morning and transport it with the plane." ”

Li Ziwei said, "Okay, I'll arrange it." ”

After Li Ziwei hung up the phone, she immediately began to contact the charter company first, but at first, the feedback she got was that there was no business jet available tomorrow, and it would be the day after tomorrow at the earliest, but she knew very well that Li Mu had to rush to Spring City tomorrow, if there was really no business jet, even if it was an ordinary civil aviation, Li Mu would definitely rush over, so she went all out with the charter company.

The charter company didn't want to offend such a big customer as Li Mu, and it was such an influential big customer, so it urgently transferred a plane from Shanghai, applied for a route permit, and tried its best to get a solution.

Tomorrow at 9 o'clock in the morning, the dispatched plane will take off from Shanghai, arrive at Yanjing Airport at about 11 o'clock at noon, and then take off at half past 1 o'clock and arrive in Chuncheng at about 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

This is already the limit of what the charter company can do, Li Ziwei immediately confirmed the flight range with them first, and then communicated with the Southwest General Aviation Company to rent two civilian helicopters to fly from the airport to the filming location.

Southwest General Aviation Company also felt that it was too hasty to book the itinerary a day in advance, but as soon as it heard that Li Mu was going to use the plane, he immediately said that there was no problem.

After everything was done, Li Ziwei called the general agent of the wine and ordered 160 bottles of high-end red wine and champagne, with a total price of 1.02 million yuan.

After all this, Li Ziwei called Li Mu back and reported the situation roughly.

Although the plane will not fly until the afternoon, Li Mu is very satisfied with this solution, and after praising Li Ziwei a few words and ending the call, he sent a message to Wei Lan, saying, "Are you free in the past two days......?"
