203 Volkswagen
Yuan Bao's drone project has finally begun to bear fruit, and he named the drone "Volkswagen Drone", which is the same concept as the Volkswagen Hotel. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAfter the owner buys the drone home, he can rent out his products through the Volkswagen drone website.
This is Yuan Bao's monopoly strategy, he thinks, soon, at most half a year to a year, there will be imitation competitors will appear, only he establishes a sharing and leasing network, in order to keep his products invincible.
Expensive aerial toys that used to cost thousands of dollars can now be shared through sharing, so it quickly ignited the enthusiasm of players, and both model airplane enthusiasts and photography enthusiasts applauded.
Most of the components of this product are made in China, but the core navigation software programming is now housed in the team in Vancouver, so that Yuan Bao can visit at any time to discuss technology development with engineers.
For this reason, many engineers who were originally in China were sent to Vancouver.
Knowing that at this time, Zhang Wenchang, who helped Yuan Bao develop the miniaturization of gyroscopes, knew what Boss Yuan's purpose was, and he thought that he had won the trust of the boss, but he didn't expect that when the drone was listed, Zhang Wenchang was the last to know.
With the aerial photography drone with fine gyroscope, the cost of aerial photography is unprecedentedly low, and it has become the latest swiping news in the circle of geeks. Graphic reports and TV shows from various tests bode well for an extremely successful product.
Because it is the first civilian product on the market with excellent flight attitude control, the gross profit of each unit sold is 1,000 US dollars, obviously, soon the "small goal" of 10,000 units per month will be achieved, and at that time, Boss Yuan, who is desperate to make money, will have a net income of 10 million US dollars a month.
And that's not even counting the revenue from the sharing platform. As a rough estimate, each rental of this platform is $10, and the platform is divided into $1, and if you rent it out for 10 days a month, you can also get a "small income" of $10.
10,000 units in the first month is $100,000, 200,000 in the second month, and by the end of the year, this revenue will accumulate to $1.2 million. In the next year and the following year, this number will continue to rise, and I am afraid that it will be absolutely enough to pay employees.
In the second year, competitors may appear, and their products will also join the sharing platform, and it is expected that in the fifth year, the sales volume of competitors' products will be the same as that of their own products, and the sharing profits of the platform at this time will skyrocket, so in 5 to 10 years, the sharing platform's revenue may catch up with the profits brought by personal sales.
The ability of the Volkswagen platform to attract money is not boastful, Yuan Bao's previous Volkswagen Hotel has also begun to exert its power, launching business in 100 major cities, and there have been 5,000 rooms that have generated transactions through the Volkswagen Hotel website, with an average of $40 per order, and each order is divided into $10.
These rooms generate a net profit of $50,000 every day or two, and the total profit is also more than $1 million per month. This is also because considering the long-term development, Yuan Bao has formulated a real-name registration system around the world, so the scale of 50 cities is not large, and it takes time to recruit and operate for growth.
Real-name registration is a good thing, and with a sense of security, you can do many things, such as sharing your car.
In the past, Uber's so-called sharing was actually to let private car owners become drivers, but Yuan Bao's "Golden Egg" sharing plan is not like this. "Volkswagen" had already been played, so it had to change its name.
In Aesop's Fable, there is a farmer who buys a goose that lays golden eggs, and the meaning of the name is to make his car a goose that lays golden eggs, and let others rent his own car when he doesn't use it.
For example, when a person goes to work at a company, the car is idle for 8 hours. During this time, it is impossible for car owners to open a taxi, and the Golden Egg plan can theoretically stimulate idle utilization more than Uber's model.
What if the user renting the car doesn't want to drive it back on their own?
The Golden Egg plan also gives you a good idea, at this time, you need a substitute driving service, as long as the customized equipment on the top of the car is adjusted to "return mode", there will be a driver on the way to help you return the car for free, if you are unlucky, it is almost time to have a guest on the way, then I am sorry, you must pay for people to go to the meeting.
There is a possibility that it will be free of charge throughout the process, so it is a huge attraction for those who want to drive a free car.
To accomplish such a feat, many things must be invented, and the smart ******** is one of them, installed in the door and inside the car, by scanning the owner's key to obtain digital information, stored in the cloud, when the user needs to use the car, the digital key information in the cloud is sent to the smart ********, and everything that happens is recorded at the same time.
Users need to know the location when they return the car, so an electronic map is a necessity. Before smartphones were developed, it was necessary to develop a special device that could be used to rent a car.
Is there a solution to the wood that is close to it? Yes. Apple began developing a personal digital assistant (PDA) called "Newton" 10 years ago. This is the jewel in the palm of John Scully, the former CEO who kicked Jobs out of Apple, and now that Jobs is back in charge of Apple, the most hated is this former favorite.
So Jobs wanted to cut the Newton project, and it just so happened that Yuan Bao needed such a smartphone replacement running Arm chips, and it would be much easier for him to develop based on Newtonos, so he and Jobs met again.
Jobs was overjoyed, the project that was originally worth zero, and now there is a pick-up man, which is really good, offering $10 million to sell Newton PDA and the whole team.
The current $10 million is a month's profit of Volkswagen drones, as long as the transaction is closed in a month, Yuan Bao has no pressure in terms of funds, and picks up an electronic product that has been developed for 10 years. It's a touchscreen that comes with it!
In other words, Yuan Bao has bought a ticket to the smartphone era, $10 million, which is really not expensive.
As for development, it is much easier to develop a general system into a dedicated tool, and the price can be reduced from 900 to 500 dollars, and the configuration is lowered and the GPS module is put on. Even the $500 can be saved, as it can be deducted from the owner's profits.
Although this actually costs $500, it feels different, and the owner's car automatically gives him the income he earns, and there is no pain point.
In the future, car owners and users must buy a simplified version of Newton to join the Golden Egg Project, however, because the development takes time, there is no need to be so complicated now, and the communication of geographical location can be solved by inefficient phone calls.
Parking in big cities in North America is a big problem, sometimes it doesn't cost much to drive, and the parking fee in downtown areas is not low, so being able to drive someone else's car is also a big temptation, if the other party has a fixed parking space, you can save a lot of money.
Wingmail's mobile phone is integrated, and there is quietly an icon of the Golden Egg Plan, needless to say, it is the appearance of two goose eggs, in view of the status of Wingmail, the world's largest email client, without advertising costs, the world instantly knows that there is such a Golden Egg Plan.
The first batch is planned to be launched in 10 cities, and the second batch will soon be available in 50 cities with real-name registration services, closely following the pace of expansion of mass hotels.
Because of his close relationship with Nissan, Yuan Bao recommended to the president that he embed his golden egg plan into Nissan's GPS and car key equipment, becoming the first model to integrate a private car sharing plan.
When developing the Golden Egg Project, Yuan Bao found that parking difficulties in big cities were a big problem, and he thought about it and decided to convene a team to make a wonderful automatic parking product.
To put it bluntly, it is the use of trailers to tow cars from places where parking is difficult and expensive to large parking lots far away from the city center. If the car owner needs service, he only needs to park his car in the designated place and set the time that needs to be parked, accurate to the level of 10 minutes.
After swiping the card to leave, the trailer will come and tow the car away, increasing the parking capacity of the downtown area by more than 10 times.
In some popular places, car owners may not be able to find a parking space for an hour, and this is when you know how necessary the idea of this product is.
This product is called "Trailer Parking". In order to ensure that the owner of the car 100% to find a parking space, this service needs to be booked in advance, adjusted with price leverage, there are discounts 24 hours in advance, it is embarrassing to drive over temporarily, absolutely give priority to customers who make appointments, the earlier the appointment, the more secure.
He didn't feel cool enough to tow into the downtown area, so he provided another cheaper service to make the parking lot service the ultimate.
Bicycles are available in large parking lots, and some people have the last kilometer (let's say) left after driving to the large parking lot, so they can ride a bicycle there, which is much cheaper than having to go out and start a trailer.
Yuan Bao's ultimate goal is to build his parking empire, using an automated parking system that is as large as a car's turf. He could lift the car from the car site and automatically park it in the most suitable parking lot nearby, and on that day, all the parking lots near the downtown area must have been monopolized by his parking empire.
The core competitiveness of this system will be intelligent allocation, parking farther away if the downtown area is not enough, and gradually expanding the scale with the reservation system to give consumers the best parking experience.
Maybe this parking empire will succeed earlier than the Golden Egg plan, because sharing is not a pain point, parking is a pain point, and old drivers are hysterically eager to have such a convenient and inexpensive service system.
Imagine that there are 10 million cars craving automated parking services in the world's congested megacities, and for only $1 per car, his parking empire earns $10 million a day. Every day, it's all sparkling cash. (To be continued.) )
