Daily sales of more than 200 million US dollars?

When this number came out, many people's first reaction was not to believe it: what are you kidding, how long has your ICQ online mall been online, it will be less than 2 months, even if the market response is good, the daily sales cannot exceed 200 million US dollars, right?

What is the concept of $200 million in daily sales? This means that the total amount of goods sold through the ICQ online store will be at least more than 70 billion US dollars every year, and in the whole of the United States, can any mall achieve this number in annual sales? Not a single one!

And this also refers to the most conservative figures, with the current growth rate of the ICQ network mall, the annual sales of more than 80 billion US dollars, 90 billion US dollars is also very proper, impact 100 billion US dollars? It's really not like it's not possible at all. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

With annual sales of more than 100 billion US dollars, this figure has made the eyes of countless bosses in traditional industries red.

The worst thing is that as a platform provider, ICQ can withdraw 0.5% of the more than $70 billion, which is what ICQ deserves.

In countless people still refuse to accept the reality, but as the vane of the U.S. economy, the stock market has made the most accurate response: ICQ's stock has skyrocketed, looking at the crazy upward arrow, everyone has only one thought: crazy! Lose your marbles!

More shareholders are beating their chests and scolding Lin Zheng for not being a thing: If you put more stocks, you will die in the stock market?!

With the rising speed of ICQ stocks, they wish Lin Zheng would put all the stocks into the stock market.

The shareholders were still scolding their chests, but Goldman Sachs regretted that his hesitation caused him to lose the opportunity to invest in the ICQ online mall, and he regretted that he wanted to crash to death on the south wall...... Thinking of Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, and other investment bank bosses laughing from ear to ear, Henry. Paulson wanted to strangle Lin Zheng.

But the media is collectively excited, what good news.

The media, which scolded Lin Zheng half to death a few days ago, immediately turned around and changed. began to pick up Lin Zheng's stinky feet without any discipline, but Lin Zheng, who was on the cusp of the storm, was not affected, but the whole person was very calm. After confirming that the online mall project was on the right track, Lin Zheng finally put his mind at ease.

He was homesick.

When I think of my little baby. Lin Zheng felt that he couldn't help it even for a minute, and the tide of thoughts instantly swept and spread.

It was at this time that Lin Zheng received a message from Bill. Ford's phone.

Bill on the phone. Ford smiled very happily: "Lin, congratulations, you have succeeded again." ”

A promising online platform with annual sales of tens of billions of dollars and hundreds of billions of dollars has not only succeeded, but also has a huge social impact, and now. Even if the U.S. government, the Department of Affairs, and the Department of Justice want to do something against ICQ, they have to weigh it carefully.

Bill. Ford could use the business with Lin Zheng to get stuck with Lin Zheng, but when the ICQ online mall was officially on the right track, he had to give Lin Zheng enough respect in the face of the powerful capital power in Lin Zheng's hands.

Face Bill. Ford's congratulations, Lin Zheng behaved very calmly, this is what he deserves.

Chatted a few words, Bill. Ford made it clear: inviting Lin Zheng to the launch of the hybrid smartcity 10 days later.

The upcoming SmartCity hybrid version is divided into a two-seater version of the ForTwo and a four-seater version of the Forfour, which is based on Lianchuang Technology's latest 48V voltage platform and is equipped with a belt-type CVT automatic transmission developed by Lianchuang Technology. The result of the simulated road test was 3.2 liters per 100 kilometers, and if the standard operating conditions provided by the US Department of Transportation were used, the fuel consumption was quickly reduced to 2.7 liters per 100 kilometers. The pure electric mileage is 20 kilometers, and the fuel-saving effect is quite amazing.

A hybrid version of SmartCity is coming to market? Bill. Lin Zheng was a little surprised by Ford's words, and then happily agreed: "No problem, I will definitely arrive!" ”

"Great," although he knew that Lin Zheng was unlikely to refuse him, Lin Zheng agreed so happily, Bill. Ford is still very happy in his heart: this shows that Lin Zheng is very face-saving: "By the way, Lin, I have a suggestion for this car." ”

"Hmm. You said. At the same time, Lin Zheng's heart suddenly became vigilant: Bill. What the hell is this guy Ford up again?

"That's right. The EFI system on the smartcity is now provided by Bosch, isn't it? Why don't we use Visteon products and use Visteon's EFI systems. We can do it by another $25 off the cost of this car. ”

Don't underestimate the $25, the cost of a car is reduced by $25, based on the annual production capacity of 100,000 units designed by SmartCity, the annual cost savings are $2.5 million, and the $2.5 million can't do anything - it's enough to buy an airplane.

But Lin Zheng smiled: This guy really didn't have any good intentions!

Visteon is actually a subsidiary of Ford, just as the famous Delphi is also independent from General Motors, although Visteon is independent from Ford Motor, it is still inextricably linked with Ford Motor, and Visteon's largest customer is still Ford. The focus is on the last time Visteon made trouble for himself at the Consumer Electronics Show in the United States, and Lin Zheng still remembers it.

But this is not the point, the point is that if you choose to be equipped with Visteon's EFI system, if you want to match the EFI system with the engine, Lin Zheng has to disclose his 48V voltage platform to Visteon. Of course, there is no problem with publicity, Lin Zheng has never liked to cherish himself, but the 48V voltage platform is the basis of Lianchuang Technology's "weak hybrid" hybrid technology, and Ford wants to get the 48 voltage platform from its own hands without paying a little price? Dream on!

"Bill," thought about it, Lin Zheng compared to Bill. "In case you don't know, we're developing our own EFI system, with two voltage platforms, 12V and 48V...... Of course, the regular version of the SmartCity sold in North America can be equipped with Visteon's ECU, and I have no problem with that. ”

Lianchuang Technology is ready to develop its own EFI system? Bill. Ford was taken aback by Lin Zheng's words! Lianchuang Technology's technical accumulation in automotive electronics is strong enough, if it engages in EFI systems again, how will Ford play in the future? This dangerous idea must be dispelled.

"Lin, I understand what you mean, but as a friend, I sincerely advise you, the research and development of EFI systems is difficult, really difficult, hardware is not the problem, but software, data and algorithms are the biggest problems...... "Bill. Ford said bitterly.

Tell you the truth, Bill. Ford's words are not wrong, the difficulty of the EFI system has never been reflected in the hardware, to put it bluntly, even the current level of research and development of EFI technology in China...... If the ability to produce automobiles is required, the level of domestic EFI systems is basically stable in the top three, counting down...... It is not impossible to build a working EFI system according to the gourd painting scoop, but the matching with the engine under various working conditions is definitely a mess, just like the core of the computer is actually the operating system, the core competitiveness of the EFI system is the huge data collection, the optimization of the working condition algorithm.

Can face Bill. Ford's words, Lin Zheng smiled: "Bill, you forgot, I am the owner of the Minardi team, and Cosworth is also my company." ”

I have done so much preparatory work in the early stage, and the preliminary work such as the selection of supporting software and algorithms has been started for several months. Regardless of Bill. No matter how much Ford persuaded him, Lin Zheng would not dispel this decision.

“……”

fuck！ Bill. Ford had a strong urge to scold his mother!

That's right, with the data accumulated by Cosworth over the years and the technical support provided by the Minardi team, although the difficulty of developing the EFI system is still there, it is far less than it was before.

What if Lianchuang Technology really had its own EFI system? Lianchuang Technology now has its own engine and manual and automatic transmissions, and has received the Focus's chassis technology from Ford, plus the addition of chassis technology from Alpha. The 155 chassis that Romeo got there...... This means that Lianchuang Technology has all the core technologies for the production of a car: engine, gearbox, chassis, and on-board electronic systems.

That's really bad news.

Although Bill. Ford doesn't think that Lianchuang Technology can threaten Ford's position in the automotive field, but with the aggressiveness shown by this guy, this is a trouble after all, and since it is a trouble, it should be nip in the bud.

After unsuccessful persuasion, Bill. Ford even made a hole that he was absolutely unwilling to let go of before: "Lin, maybe we can exchange and agree that you will cooperate with NAPA, as long as you give up developing EFI technology." ”

NAPA, that is, the largest auto repair chain in the United States with more than 13,000 chain maintenance points in the United States, known as "McDonald's and KFC in the auto repair industry", the negotiation between Tesla Motors and NAPA has been very good, and NAPA has long been ready to intervene in the car retail business for the cooperation of SmartCity. A framework agreement was soon reached: SmartCity models could be ordered through any of NAPA's repair shops, and users could have their repairs and maintenance carried out at any of the NAPA chain shops.
