Chapter 492: Rookie Network

While mobile phone makers around the world are gearing up to make inroads into touchscreen smartphones, Apple isn't idle.

As soon as the first generation of iPhone products was successful, the development of the second generation of iPhone was immediately started.

Li Zetian thought about it, and the things that can be improved include processor, image processing, pixel resolution, large screen, full screen, curved screen, wireless charging, powerful AR virtual reality technology, fingerprint unlocking, facial recognition unlocking technology, artificial intelligence, and so on......

When you think about it, there's a lot more to develop.

The iPhone 1 uses an A1 processor.

As for the iPhone 2, Li Zetian plans to let Apple launch a more powerful A2 processor, even more than twice as fast as the A1 processor!

With the advent of the mobile Internet era, the CPU designed by ARM has become popular. However, Arm is an intellectual property (IP) supplier, and the biggest difference between it and other semiconductor companies is that it does not manufacture chips and does not sell chips to end users, but rather transfers designs and partners produce unique chips.

Apple's A1 and A2 processors are the CPUs that Apple has improved after buying IP cores from Arm.

In addition, the camera function of the iphone2 should also be greatly improved, and it must always be in the leading position in the industry!

Li Zetian thinks that iPhone1 is developed according to the iPhone4 in the previous life, and the mobile phone is very small, so he plans to develop a large-screen mobile phone, whether it is surfing the Internet, or watching movies, or playing games, large-screen mobile phones are cool to use!

Li Zetian emailed Mr. Jobs with his design requirements and asked him to arrange for the development of the iPhone 2.

As for those high-tech technologies that cannot be realized in a short period of time, Li Zetian arranged for other companies to study, such as Chronos Energy Company to study wireless charging technology, Flamingo Company to study AR virtual reality technology, Chronos LCD Factory to study LCD screens, and Chronos Industrial Artificial Intelligence Laboratory to study fingerprint unlocking, facial recognition unlocking technology, artificial intelligence......

When the technology matures, Apple will use it directly.

October 2005 was a turbulent period for the mobile phone industry.

The world's major mobile phone companies have begun to stand in line, and the related industries have also been greatly affected.

As soon as October passed, the industry suddenly became silent, which was like the calm before the storm!

Alphabet, the parent company of Google and Microsoft, is in the process of a full integration, and as a result, all but a few businesses have been improved, with Android becoming more and more powerful and more and more members joining the Android camp.

Soon, China's "Double 11 Global Shopping Spree" is coming, and Apple's iPhone 1 will become the most important product of Double 11!

Li Zetian gave benefits to his Chinese compatriots, a 4GB version of the iPhone in the United States costs $799, but in China, on Taobao's Double 11, the price is only 4999 yuan!!

In 2005, the exchange rate between the US dollar and the renminbi was about 1:8.

In other words, a 4GB iPhone 1 costs just over $600. You must know that when American goods are sold to China, they will have to be tariffs, and the price will definitely be more expensive, but Li Zetian sells them so cheaply!!

Of course, giving benefits to Chinese compatriots is one thing, and Li Zetian also has several purposes, such as promoting the development of Taobao, increasing the number of iPhone users, cultivating more loyal Apple users, and promoting the development of China's mobile Internet.

……

"MRLI, according to our forecast data, this double 11, Taobao's transaction volume will increase significantly, almost every year at a rate of more than 200%, last year's double 11, there are many users complained that the double 11 express delivery is too slow. I think it's true that there are too many parcels to deliver, and you know that sending express delivery seems simple, but it's not simple at all, and how to deliver the goods to users as quickly as possible is a very difficult topic!!

Ma Yun looked excited, Apple took out 2 million iPhone1 on Taobao for sale on this double 11, and the price is so low, naturally there are a lot of people rushing to buy, it is impossible for users to buy a single product, Taobao is going to brush up a transaction volume record that shocked the world this time!!

"MRLI, I propose to increase investment in logistics and let Alibaba build a huge logistics system, and other courier companies will join this system and provide relevant data so that Alibaba's logistics system can guide them on how to ship. Ma Yun paused and said loudly: "A commanded operation must be stronger than a plate of loose sand!"

When Li Zetian heard this, he was suddenly shocked, and he immediately thought of the rookie network. However, Ma Yun obviously has not considered it so comprehensively, and at present, he only thinks of express delivery companies, and does not include manufacturers, online merchants, third-party service companies, etc......

Li Zetian pondered for a moment and said: "Mr. Ma, your proposal is very good, I will seriously consider it, and after the Double 11 is over, I will come to Hangzhou and talk to you in detail." Recently, Chronos Industrial produced 10 Space super-large cargo planes, which, in my opinion, were put up for auction on Taobao before Double 11, and then bought by SF Express. In this way, not only can it make a big news and warm up for Taobao's Double 11, but also make consumers subconsciously think that there will be cargo planes to deliver goods for them, which greatly shortens the logistics time and increases the success rate of the transaction!"

When Ma Yun heard this, he was stunned for a moment, the trench is inhumane, as soon as he makes a move, it is 10 space super-large cargo planes! As far as Ma Yun knows, one such super-large cargo plane costs nearly 100 million US dollars each!

……

Among the many express companies, Li Zetian holds the most shares of SF Express, and is also the most optimistic about the development of SF Express, and the value of SF Express is greater than the sum of the four express companies of "three links and one reach"!

On the evening of November 4, there was explosive news on Taobao that SF spent 8 billion yuan to buy 10 Space super-large cargo planes. As for the auction process, there is no need to say more, netizens do not pay attention to the process, only to this bombarding result!

"Taobao Double 11 is coming, SF Express is awesome, and bought 10 super large cargo planes at once, what a fucking thief is rich! Auction the plane on Taobao, and then use it to transport Taobao's goods, well, Lao Tie, no problem!!

"it! There is no fastest, only faster! SF Express is going to heaven!!"

"Uh, SF Express has already gone to heaven~~"

……

At the same time, major media have also reported on this matter.

SF Express spent 8 billion yuan to buy 10 super-large cargo planes to solve the problem of too slow logistics!"

"Thumbs up for SF Express!"

UC Shock Department: "Shock! This company is the most powerful express company in China!!"

……

Taobao and SF Express became popular in China before Double 11, and more people couldn't help but pay more attention to this "Double 11 Global Carnival".

It was soon November 10th.

At night, countless people stayed up late and stayed in front of the TV.

"4999 is a hot price, hehe, those foreigners are envious of us!"

"It's not just envy, it's jealousy!"

"Nima, I've only bought Nokia N70 for a few months, who wants it, I'll sell it cheaply, 1000 yuan on the line! 1000 yuan you can't buy a loss, you can't buy it, you can't be fooled, it's really worth the money!"

", who still uses the Nokia N70. ”

"That's it, compared with the iPhone, the N70 is simply scum, garbage. ”

“……”

As soon as the morning came, the trading volume of Taobao skyrocketed.

Break 10 billion !! in 10 minutes

Breaking 65 billion !! in 10 hours

Broke 82 billion !! in 24 hours

On the day of Double 11, Taobao completed a turnover of 70 billion yuan, which shocked the world! Apple alone sold more than 1.8 million iPhones.

After Li Zetian got the news the next day, he smiled faintly. In this life, China's economy and the Internet have indeed developed rapidly with their own help, but Taobao can have this achievement, which is really unexpected.

"Selena, arrange the plane, tomorrow, I'm going to Hangzhou. ”

"Yes!"

The trip to Hangzhou soon began.

When Li Zetian came to Alibaba, Ma Yun and others greeted him one after another.

Li Zetian smiled and nodded at them, first commending their efforts on Double 11 as the boss, and then mentioning the logistics network that Jack Ma mentioned last time.

Vigorous and resolute has always been Li Zetian's style.

Li Zetian didn't talk to them politely, and directly called Ma Yun and other company executives to the conference room for a meeting.

"Mr. Ma mentioned the logistics network last time, and I thought about it carefully later, and it was feasible! Then I took some time to refine this plan!" Li Zetian said, gesturing Selena with his eyes.

Selena nodded and pulled out her laptop to connect the projector.

Soon, a PPT appeared on the projection screen.

There are only four big characters on the first page of "Rookie Network ?!!", and some people can't help but read it out.

Li Zetian smiled and began to say: "That's right, the rookie network is the name of our logistics network plan!"

Specifically, it is to improve the logistics information system at the same time, relying on the promotion of urbanization, to build a network of physical logistics and warehousing bases across the country, and to all manufacturers, network merchants, express logistics companies, third-party service companies, and common development with all participants in the industrial chain!"

Ma Yun asked: "Is the rookie network building a warehouse?"

Li Zetian smiled and said, "Well, it's okay if you want to say that." As we all know, a very important part of the warehouse logistics system, it is a network node, and these network nodes together are the entire logistics network!"

"Everyone, please look at the ppt,"

Li Zetian stretched out his hand to point to PPT, and continued: "The rookie network will be composed of umbrella companies and Alibaba, Amazon, eBay, SF Express, three links and one reach, and there are two main things to do: one is to build physical storage facilities in hundreds of cities across the country through "self-construction + cooperation"; Third-party logistics service providers and supply chain service providers!"

"The initial investment of Cainiao Network is 100 billion yuan, of which eighty percent of the funds will be used for self-construction of warehousing. According to the standard of a modern warehouse today, the cost of self-built warehousing is about 2200-2500 yuan/square meter, so the storage area that can be built is about 32 million to 36 million square meters. ”

"As for the second phase of the rookie network, the investment is 200 billion yuan!!"

The first phase is 100 billion yuan.

The second phase is 200 billion yuan.

With such a big effort, everyone was shocked when they heard it.

Li Zetian glanced at them and smiled faintly, isn't it 300 billion yuan, if it is converted into dollars, 40 billion is not enough.

"Once the rookie network is completed, I dare to say that the distribution efficiency will be significantly improved, and even any region in the country will be able to deliver within 24 hours!!"

Everyone was shocked by the blueprint drawn by Li Zetian!

At that moment, everyone was very excited, opened their mouths to discuss, check and fill in the gaps, and further improve the rookie network.

Three days later, Alibaba announced the rookie network plan, which immediately caused a huge sensation and heated discussions.

Li Zetian wants to invest so much money, which will bring great help to the development of China's economy, and the Chinese government is happy to hear about it, and the leaders above have expressed strong support, and it is absolutely not difficult to build a warehouse and get land.
