The history of Ludao Airport can be traced back to World War II 70 years ago, when propeller planes were small and slow, and a flat grass of several hundred meters or even tens of meters was enough to take off and land, while today's large jets need a high-standard runway of several kilometers in length. Therefore, although it has been renovated and expanded many times, after all, the foundation is too old and too close to the city, and it has become more and more backward and cramped.
For example, the T3 terminal building of the airport was built and opened in 96 years, which was the most advanced and perfect at that time, but the concept of airport construction has changed a lot after 20 years.
The new generation of terminals is often described as "phoenix", "starfish", "caterpillar" and other animals with more "branches", because there are many more branches and fingers sticking out from the silhouette of the top, and this structure is also vividly called the corridor.
The corridors are connected to the terminals, which can effectively increase the number of seats near the airport, so that passengers can go directly to the corridors through the guò terminal for security checks, and finally enter the cabin directly through the elevated corridors and boarding bridges, and then the aircraft will taxi to the main runway to prepare for takeoff.
And because there is no hope of runway expansion, in order to make full use of the only main runway and the surrounding apron, Ludao Airport can only make a bunch of remote stands. Passengers need to take the shuttle bus to run for a few minutes out of the terminal, and then board the plane through the Guò ground bridge car, not to mention the extra round of queuing to get on and off the bus, if you catch the rainy weather, the experience is even worse.
Although the open-air boarding bus is often on the TV news because of the leader's visit, from the perspective of user experience, this cargo is actually a few streets away from the fully enclosed boarding bridge.
Atletico Madrid's charter plane also stopped at a remote position this time, and when they got off the covered bridge car, a Toyota Coaster was already waiting aside.
In fact, this car often follows the leader on TV, and it is a proper official car.
This kind of minibus is reliable in quality and comfortable to ride, with a seating capacity of 16 to 28 and no less, which can easily pull away a small team including secretaries, assistants, bodyguards, doctors, so it is deeply loved by people at all levels in our country, and often appears in official news reports as background props.
Relying on the official car label, Audi four circles have won the love of countless folk bosses sales all the way to Changhong, becoming a world-famous high-end car brand, looking at the local adoptive father responsible for assembly and sales of all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred, the eldest son group directly invested more than 20 billion research and development of Hongqi H7 against the Audi A6, trying to replicate the miracle of the official car, but just in time to catch up with the departments to implement thrifty reform of the bus, the official procurement is not good for the image of the people, but the result is a miserable.
At this point, Toyota is much calmer, whether you buy it as an ordinary operating bus, or modify and upgrade it to pick up and drop off important customers, they just need to watch the sales number jù muffled to make a fortune.
Atletico Madrid has long known that the exclusive shuttle bus for the VIP channel of Ludao Airport is Coaster, but he is still a little dissatisfied after getting on the bus. After taking his seat, he patted the seat, "It seems that our pony car is still not enough!
The so-called pony car is actually the nickname of the pony A5E twelve-seater intelligent electric ferry car. A year ago, this kind of unmanned and electric car equipped with unmanned and electric technology drove into Ludao Airport for the first time and began to serve 20 million domestic and foreign passengers. Soon, it gained a large number of fans for its smart and considerate design and cute appearance, earning it the nickname "Pony Car".
This car is also the first mass-produced driverless vehicle since the establishment of Pony Vehicle, and due to limited production, it has been in short supply, and most of the sales were sold to Ludao Airport. Because the airport has recently purchased another batch, after getting off the plane, everyone clearly felt that there were more pony cars in the field of vision, and Atletico Madrid confirmed at least 27 more new cars through their identification signals.
However, he was a little dissatisfied with this result, the airport purchased pony cars, both sides cooperated happily, hoped to maintain the bee group, a large customer of passenger and freight transportation, and also had the consideration of using the gimmick of unmanned cars to enhance the image of the force, but they put all the pony cars on the side of the ordinary passage, VIP here is still a Coaster, which makes him a little unhappy.
"Take your time, don't be in a hurry," Tang Jiayi said: "The airport should also have its own considerations, and besides, the design of the A5E is too young, not as mature and stable as Coaster, and I will not agree to replace it on me." ”
"Okay, Lingling will record it, I'll go to the pony company to take a look, they are finally about to turn a profit, and they have to go and cheer up." ”
"Do you feel that you have finally let go of the burden of loss and are relaxed?" Mr. Tang quipped.
"Yes, yes," Atletico nodded briskly and admitted, but Tang Jiayi didn't know what to say.
In the next few days, the two of them really had a period of staggered planning, eating and drinking, and the bosses of the partners, the leaders of the three sets of teams on Ludao, these local powerful people came forward to hold a reception banquet and a surprise banquet for the two of them, celebrating that the two of them did not become the target of love from the Weibo masses like the unlucky Bali people.
Of course, the wind pressure is just an excuse from the beginning, and the actual purpose is still related to the calendar, and the year will end in a month. The city government should listen to the voice of the enterprise, care for the development of the enterprise, and urge the negotiation progress of Bee and Xia Xin Technology by the way.
For upstream and downstream suppliers, buyers, outsourcers and other partners, they are here to inquire about the news, and even to find discounts. Although they have made money, everyone wants more, and it is natural to make good use of such a good reason.
Atletico Madrid didn't have much to do, just took the opportunity to replenish the body's deficit in material and energy stocks. Even if Tang Jiayi ridiculed her and said that she exposed the true face of the wine bag and rice bag, she was tired of it. However, although the wine is drunk every day until the glass is dry, and the mouth is full of oil, Atletico Madrid's brain is still sober, and no matter how much he drinks, it does not affect his judgment, but on the contrary, the guest often steals chicken and rice, and is dizzy to sign an agreement that is not so beneficial to himself, and over time all kinds of food invitations will fade away.
Then, Atletico finally had time to go to the pony vehicle to do an investigation.
Building a car is not the impulse of Atletico and the Bees management, but the reality is that they lost, lost on overconfidence.
At the beginning, they planned very well, first to make modified cars and accessories to familiarize themselves with the environment, to enter the field cars with lower thresholds to familiarize themselves with the market, and then to achieve corner overtaking on electric unmanned vehicles. However, the first two steps were quite smooth, but on the third step there was a problem, first there was a fire in the backyard, and then a mountain appeared in front of it, which tossed the team of Bee Cars.
At the beginning, they were able to maintain profitability, but after the national competent authorities issued a strict inspection of the old scooters, their production and sales inevitably fell, and the planned electric unmanned vehicles were not allowed to be on the road for a long time, and the whole team was very confused.
For any kind of vehicle, being on the road is not only a technical problem but also a social problem, which involves all aspects of traffic laws, insurance systems, and even social habits.
Conventional cars can fit seamlessly into it, and electric vehicles can also join in by simply solving the charging problem. But just this makes the development of new energy vehicles tangled, if it is not for state subsidies and licensing benefits, the development will be much slower.
For driverless cars, there are too many places to disrupt, and there are more obstacles on the road, so we can only promote social cognitive changes through guò tests year after year, while looking forward to the day when conditions will change and finally be legal on the road.
In this context, Atletico announced the creation of a sole proprietorship of Pony Vehicles, which in turn acquired the car business of Bee. The other shareholders of the board of directors and the employees were also afraid, and directly agreed to the terms of the acquisition, not to mention, but also stuffed the large-scale manless machine business, and they only kept the money-making consumer product line.
For consumer-level non-man-machine, Bee completely handed over the production to the foundry, and was only responsible for the overall design, anyway, there are independent flight control chips, self-produced DC motors and sensors are also good, and the overall still has a good cost performance. The risk of high-cost mainframes is much higher, so it's better to throw it to the boss who is not bad for money.
This is not without its benefits for Atletico, and the mere separation of the long-term R&D department can improve the company's compensation structure, and it is worth his push to do so.
With the return of the bee game Golden Cicada to the mainland, the bee's virtual stock plan finally won the last city, but it also caused Atletico Madrid a problem.
Because there are a variety of ways to effectively reduce R&D costs, coupled with some other asset-light means, the financial pressure on bees has been very small, and the virtual shares made by Atletico Madrid do not pay much attention to the return on fundraising, but are more like variant performance bonuses. Good performance of the group, especially good performance of the department, can bring more income to employees, and I hope to stimulate everyone to work hard and make more contributions. It's just that there is a pros and cons in everything, income and departmental interests are linked, and it is inevitable to intensify the competition for departmental interests, and the front-line business department is good to say, there are various KPI indicators that can be used as a reference, but R&D and various logistics departments are difficult to calculate.
Separating some projects that need long-term incubation from the company and operating independently is one of the solutions formed after repeated discussions and pilot verification. In this way, the new company can provide employees with a variety of compensation plans such as high wages, option incentives, and welfare housing, without worrying about affecting the entire company's compensation system.
Of course, the most promising projects have been "laughed at" by Atletico Madrid themselves, which not only facilitates his "technical guidance" on the research and development of the new company, but also activates the buyback clause through guò after the results are released in the future, and re-sells to Bee to increase his shareholding ratio by means of share exchange mergers and acquisitions. For example, the positioning algorithm used by these A5E is led by Atletico Madrid, which is better than the general effect used in the bee garden before, and the cost is smaller. Otherwise, airports that have always been slamming doors will not buy such vehicles again and again.
So in general, the current situation is quite good, the smart ferry car is still a new thing, the competitors are either too weak or far abroad, and they can sell as much as they produce, which can be said to be very cool. The only problem is that airports and highways are very independent departments, although their airport meals and road meals are expensive, but the purchase price is very low, so that the company can not make money quickly.
Atletico calmed the sales team, reiterated the company's bottom-line principle of law-abiding operation, and left there. As for the pony vehicle's desire to increase capital and buy land to expand the office and production area, he only said that he knew about it, and did not say anything on the spot.
Expansion is a must, although the automotive industry is also standardizing, integration, but compared with PCs and mobile phones, Cheng Dù is far behind, want to rely on OEM production like the latter two is completely foolish, otherwise Tesla electric vehicles will not choose to build their own factory for production.
However, Atletico do not plan to scale up production immediately. Even if the current pony carriage is in short supply, and there is the blessing of scarcity and expensiveness, those airports do not have a price increase to buy anything, if they rashly increase production, they will not be able to sell them and smash their hands at that time.
As for producing electric vehicles like Tesla first, and then relying on the OTA upgrade method to gradually load unmanned functions, or simply produce ordinary electric bicycles, Atletico Madrid is not very interested, try more different directions like now, and then slowly polish and debug, he feels very good, there is no need to toss anymore.
Having said that, after Atletico left to go home, Tang Jiayi complained fiercely, "If you don't toss, you'll die?"
"Isn't this a special memento for everyone," Atletico replied nonchalantly.
In a warehouse-like room in Atletico Ma's house, cardboard boxes are piled up at the moment, with Chinese, English and Filipino characters printed on the outside, and large coconuts inside.
These coconuts were picked from the island where Atletico was attacked, and then they were immediately airlifted to Egret Island and quickly cleared customs, and finally delivered to Atletico's home today.
He plans to give out the coconuts as a year-end prize, and before that he has to handle them himself, peel and polish them, and then carve some signature mottos or something on the inner fruit shell.
Although the year-end dividend will not be less, Atletico Madrid is obviously unwilling to miss the wonderful year-end bonus.
