During the three-day symposium, Link asked Douglas to give the delegates free accommodation and a little bit of mud code to play in the casino, but at his own expense.

These hospitalities, by and large, are also passable.

After three days of discussions, Link listened to the opinions and suggestions put forward by the trade union representatives. He promised to summarize these opinions and suggestions to improve the framework of the unmanned logistics system.

Although the reporter was not invited to the specific discussion later, Link could not stop the union representatives from revealing some details of the symposium to the media.

The forum lasted only three days, but the media continued for nearly 10 days. Media coverage of unmanned logistics systems can be positive or negative. But in general, it is already well known in the United States.

While the media is still reporting. Link handed over the task of negotiating with the truckers' union to Morris. He still has a lot to do in this plan.

For example, the safety of driverless trucks. That has to be verified.

Martha tentatively talked about the possibility of implementing unmanned logistics in Europe in several European countries. But the attitude in Europe is relatively conservative or ambiguous. She chose to return to the United States temporarily.

Before Link returned to Washington from Las Vegas, Martha rushed to Mora Manor to talk to Carrick about how to solve the safety problem of unmanned trucks while driving.

When Link returned to Mora Manor, Martha approached him and said, "Link, we need driver experience now." That experience is then fed into the driving system. ”

Link had already thought of doing this. "You can talk to Morris," he said. Let Strus and Hans Invest together to gather the drivers. Let them talk about their driving experience. ”

"This work may require a certain amount of funding. ”

"I'll pay for it. Strus was mainly responsible for editing the program, while Hanse Invest was responsible for collecting the information. Link thought for a moment and said. "Is 10 million enough?"

According to Link's vision, Strus would definitely join the project. The early security verification also needs to be completed by Strus.

So Martha was also very interested in the project: "I talked to Carrick. If we want to save time, it's best to solicit the experience of those drivers online. And hire some students to program according to the fixed embedding format we give. Finally, in the integration within the system. ”

"So what?"

"We plan to start with an ad that asks drivers across the U.S. for cases of problems while driving. If we encounter the same case, we will give priority to the person who provides the case first, and we will pay the other party a certain amount for each case we include. ”

"How much does that cost?"

"Personally, I think that with a hundred dollars a piece, there will definitely be a lot of people who are willing to provide real cases. ”

Link nodded, but he frowned and asked a question, "How can someone tell if they make up a false case?"

"In each case, we do a mock test to determine if it's really possible. Therefore, we will strictly ask them to depict the various road conditions and environments in their memory. That would prevent some false cases from being included. ”

Link nodded again and said, "Then I don't limit the amount of expenses." I'll give you the final count. ”

"Okay, then I'll go talk to Morris about the plan. "Martha feels like time is running out now. She stood up and said. "When the plan is ready, I'll send it to you. ”

A few days later, many big websites in the U.S. would automatically pop up an ad: "Do you have driving experience? Writing a piece of experience is worth a hundred dollars, first come, first served." ”

Television does the same.

In just one day, almost all Americans knew that Link Hans was going to pay for driving experience.

People who respond quickly are almost immediately on the site that is being advertised by the Internet.

They found that there were specific rules for the solicitation on this website. It's not a simple description of your own experience, but a specific format to describe the accidents you have encountered while driving. It doesn't matter if you have escaped safely or if you have an accident. can be used as a case.

And as long as the case they uploaded is included, they will receive a hundred dollars.

"For similar cases, only the earliest uploaded case will be selected. There is no limit to the number of cases that can be uploaded by each person, and there is no limit to the number of cases that can be included. The campaign period is 10 days. Within five days after the event, the results will be announced on the official website of Strut Electronics Technology and the official website of Hanse Investment. ”

When someone uploads their driving story in the prescribed format, the website replies with a message. It has a number of eight numbers and letters, and is reminded to "please record this number, if your case is included, you can claim the prize with this number and personal name." ”

In the U.S., anyone who is an adult can drive.

All of a sudden, Strus's official website became the most trafficked website in the United States.

Although Martha had been prepared, she was still taken aback, and had to temporarily add a dozen servers to barely cope.

While Martha and Strus were busy, Claire was also running around New York. Major banks in the United States are hitting in several cities. New York, on the other hand, is the largest financial center in the United States, and of course has the most large banks.

Today he made an appointment to meet with the president of City Bank.

It was not easy for him to find these big names in big banks before. But it's much better now.

Link's side made a lot of noise. It was also much easier for him to meet those people.

Claire was taken to the president's office, the headquarters of the City Bank of New York. The person he made an appointment with sat right in the back of the office: "Hello, Mr. Anderson!"

"Hello, Mr. Hawke. You may be seated!" Anderson, president of City Bank, stood up and gestured. "I've heard what you're here for. ”

Claire smiled and said, "Yes, I came this time to discuss the project of unmanned logistics with City Bank." ”

"Do you need credit for this project?"

City Bank is currently the largest retail bank in the United States, and its business involves various businesses such as credit and insurance. But Anderson is obviously playing dumb when he asks this.

Claire also pretends to believe that the other party is really stupid.

He laughed and said, "It's not us. It's those truck drivers. Mr. Anderson, there are now hundreds of thousands of truck drivers in the United States. With the scale of the unmanned logistics project, at least 10 billion US dollars of credit business will be generated. Of course, that wasn't the main purpose of my approach. Our aim is to create a new logistics system together with other partners, including City Bank. ”

Anderson smiled politely and said, "For example?"

Claire took out a document and handed it to him, saying, "This is the initial plan for unmanned logistics that we have developed. "Of course, this plan is not the whole story, and the core is a system owned by Link personally. Even if they wanted to get one for themselves, they couldn't get around Link. "In the U.S., we need to build more than 300 logistics centers. These logistics centers will require an investment of at least $300 billion over five years. The investment in the later stage is at least more than one trillion dollars. ”

After a pause, he continued: "No single company can afford such a large investment, and I think it is a way for all of our partners to benefit from it." ”

Anderson nodded as he looked at the plan.

Claire said this, and didn't continue to speak, just waiting for him to finish reading first.

Anderson seemed to look more carefully, although he looked through it, he also looked at nearly twenty kinds of ideas before reading the plan.

After reading it, he put the plan on his desk and said, "Mr. Hawke." Personally, I think this scheme has good operability. But I think there's a lot more to look into. ”

"That's true. In fact, we're constantly refining it. Claire didn't think she would be able to get the other party to agree to participate in the plan right away. And Anderson doesn't have that power either. "If you have any questions about the program, you can always contact me. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a business card and handed it to Anderson.

Anderson took the card and said, "Mr. Hawke, actually, I have a question right now. As far as we know, you have a lot of cash in the Ozette Development Bank. Why do you need cooperation?"

"Mr. Anderson. Because we know that money is not everything. Moreover, the vast majority of the funds of the Ozette Bank are those of Link Hans. If the project is implemented with the funds of the Ozette Bank, even if it can be successful, it will not be able to run smoothly, right? Link is well aware that the project can only be carried out smoothly if it has more support. ”

"But Mr. Hawke, I think you and Mr. Hans have forgotten. It is impossible for the United States to allow such an entity to emerge. Monopoly in the United States is a big mistake. ”

Claire laughs, "Different entities can also move towards the same goal. The system is in Link's hands, and he has licensed it to Chinese companies. In order to smoothly dock with the other side of the ocean and keep up with the logistics speed on the other side, he didn't have much time. Therefore, we are willing to share the benefits of this project with more people. ”

The U.S. monopoly has always existed, but it's not as obvious as it once was.

In the United States, all key industries are actually monopolized by the Big Ten conglomerates. They participate in each other's shares, finance each other, and it is difficult to distinguish between you and me. Although there is competition between each other, under the entanglement of interests, all competition is so benign that it can no longer be benign.

It can even be said that there is a healthy competition between them that can drink wine in the office and divide the market in the middle of talking and laughing.

What Claire needs to do is to make an agreement with those consortia for a certain period of time. Give Ozette Bank and other banks a buffer time to rise. As long as those banks are large enough, those consortia will consider accepting Link as one of them.

Although there will definitely be stumbling blocks in the dark. But Link will no longer be in a situation where banks are listed and may be suppressed as they are now.

When Anderson heard what he said, he also had a bottom in his heart. It would be more beneficial for them to set up several companies to run the project together.
