Thanks to the high-speed communication characteristics of the information age, especially the natural advantages of the Internet in this regard, in just one hour of preparation time, the hot spots on the Internet have been completely aimed at this reporter's Q&A meeting. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Many reporters sent by online media are carrying live broadcast equipment, and the successful landing and unloading of the live spacecraft has made the live broadcast program popular. The next reporter's Q&A meeting thought that without the sci-fi spaceship picture, the popularity would be a lot colder, but I didn't expect that suddenly the importance increased greatly, and the website side did not hesitate to use the best position for temporary publicity, and the result was that the popularity did not decrease but increased.

The message area has been fried, and netizens have spontaneously prepared a lot of questions for the broadcaster:

"The anchor asked Chen Dada for me, if there is a set of steel armor hidden at home, take it out and show it off quickly, otherwise it will be moldy."

"Remember to ask, how much does the spaceship cost, and when will it be launched, I will book one first. By the way, do I have enough money to buy a small electric donkey? Can it be staged? Waiting online, it's in a hurry. ”

"I just want to ask, once it becomes popular, does it mean that truck drivers will be laid off?"

……

There is also a message from the crooked building:

"Chen Wenhao, the Zenith Star is calling you home for dinner!"

"Who dares to bet with me, Lao Chen must have traveled back from the future, and I dare to bet on my virginity."

In short, before the Q&A meeting was about to begin, several major news portals and live broadcast websites in China have opened their own live broadcasts, and the total number of viewers has approached 40 million, which is enough for an event organized by a commercial enterprise.

A vice president of Jingdong Logistics presided over the meeting, and it was inevitable that he would introduce a few words to the scene, but he was a little impatient, but the comment area on the Internet was instantly coaxed: "Go down quickly, go down quickly, we are not here to listen to your nonsense." ”

The focus inside and outside the venue was on the big screens on both sides of the rostrum, Chen Wenhao and Lao Liu, one left and one right, each occupying a screen.

The vice president also sensed the impatience of the atmosphere in the room, wisely quickened the pace, and simply announced the process and ended the speech.

The control of the field was transferred to Lao Liu, and the attention of the audience immediately went up a level, whether it was the eyes or the camera, they all focused on the screen that remotely connected Lao Liu.

In the picture, Lao Liu should be in the living room of the hotel suite, with a small half of the room exposed in the background, a typical hotel-style decoration style. Lao Liu was sitting at the table, smiling at the camera.

"Thank you for your participation and attention, I don't think you came to listen to my polite words, then I will directly announce the next company plan: within three years, Jingdong will invest 30.5 billion yuan, and the infinite future company will cooperate to build a global logistics system, at the same time, the company will also build 1000 drone airports across the country, focusing on covering remote areas in the central and western regions."

"Our initial plan is to achieve express delivery within 24 hours in all regions of the country within one year on the basis of existing manpower."

"Our logistics services are not just for self-operated goods, but open to all merchants. Our goal is that customers can request door-to-door pickup at any time in any town in China, and then deliver it to customers anywhere in China within 24 hours. ”

This is big news, 30.5 billion yuan, 1,000 drone airports, 24-hour national delivery, these three points together, enough for the existing express industry to experience a ten-magnitude earthquake.

People who watched the live broadcast on the Internet have become excited, and some people who live in remote provinces have made a wish, hoping that Lao Liu's goal will be achieved soon, and now after each online purchase, the express delivery will take at least four or five days on the road.

However, the focus of senior reporters familiar with Lao Liu's propaganda style is different, similar to the plan to build a logistics network covering domestic and foreign countries, and it is not the first time he has said that he is not the only entrepreneur who has made similar remarks. It's hard to say it's all a gimmick until you're really committed, but don't take it too seriously.

However, these reporters keenly discovered that Lao Liu proposed for the first time "on the basis of existing manpower", which is very interesting. Insisting on building its own logistics network and hiring couriers directly from the parent company are JD.com's choices to maintain its logistics advantages, but maintaining a grassroots staff team of tens of thousands of people is very expensive, and it has a great impact on continuing to expand its business.

Therefore, Jingdong was engaged in intelligent warehouses before, and Lao Liu also publicized the plan to develop drones on many occasions, but he has never dared to say clearly that he should expand his business on the basis of unchanged manpower.

Of course, it's not that I don't want to say it, but that no one believes it! A reporter secretly thought so. Thinking of the successful test flight of the spacecraft this time, as well as Lao Liu's big move of spending 30 billion, the focus of the matter is back to the novelty of the cargo spaceship.

It seems that Lao Liu is very optimistic about the spacecraft, so he dares to make such a heavy bet, whether the success of today's test flight also means that the airworthiness certificate of the spacecraft is about to be put into commercial use. What is more concerned about is, what is the price, production capacity, and endurance cost of the spacecraft? A large number of questions made the reporters present look forward to the arrival of free question time.

Finally, in the resentment and expectation of the audience, the host announced that "it's time to ask questions freely", and his arms were raised like a forest. The moderator paused for a moment and began to click on the questioner.

Lao Liu soon found out helplessly that except for the first two reporters who were selected because they had a good relationship with public relations, they also asked him some details in a proper manner, and then there was basically nothing for him, and the people who were selected again were all going to Chen Wenhao.

Chen Wenhao looked at these funny, he really didn't plan to play any noisy games, if it weren't for Lao Liu's kind invitation, he wouldn't have appeared, but since this is such a ready-made opportunity, it is not bad to publicize it in advance.

In the reporters' repeated questions, Chen Wenhao answered all the questions, and a series of descriptions about the spacecraft made the reporters' eyes brighter and brighter:

The operating cost of the spacecraft is mainly the cost of charging and regular battery cell replacement, and the freight per ton of cargo per kilometer within the flight radius is only 40%-50% of that of traditional air cargo, and even lower than the price of road transportation over the same distance.

As for the price of the spacecraft, Chen Wenhao did not say too clearly, only saying that the unit price was within 100 million yuan. However, as far as this reporter is concerned, even if the maximum value of 100 million is calculated, it is less than 15 million dollars, and compared with the cargo spacecraft of the same capacity in the international market, the price of 50 million US dollars is 50 million US dollars, and the price is often hundreds of millions of dollars.

In recent years, domestic express delivery companies like to buy some second-hand aircraft, and then use them as cargo planes after transformation, and the kind of aircraft that have been driven for more than ten years can often be sold for one or two million US dollars. Once this cargo ship is officially introduced to the market, those second-hand goods can only dive high.

Chen Wenhao felt that if the real cost was said, he was afraid that no one would dare to believe it. The unmanned production line re-optimized by the surveyor can run with high efficiency and error-free 24 hours a day; The technology used comes from an alien civilization, which saves R&D costs; The titanium alloy metal plate and high-performance battery pack, which are the largest in use, can be supplied from their own supporting factories thanks to the layout in the early stage......

If you really only count the cost of materials and assembly, such a spacecraft with a carrying capacity of about 25 tons, the cost is about 10 million yuan, well, it is still RMB.

Of course, that's not how the public selling price is calculated, and that's not how the business works. Lao Ma and Lao Liu roughly revealed that the cost of materials is more than 30 million yuan, and the price must be evenly divided into development fees and equipment wear and tear costs, and Lao Liu preliminarily negotiated that the basic price of the spaceship without additional equipment is 65 million, as he was optimistic about this project at the beginning of the project, and dared to bet on the return, but only limited to the first ten.

The external quotation will be set at about 85 million yuan, which is also the basic price, and if additional functions such as mechanical handling arms and ship-wide refrigeration systems are to be installed, they will be billed separately.

The company even suggested that the external quotation could be adjusted to 200 million, and the price of the standard cargo aircraft was still very competitive, and there was absolutely no shortage of market, but it was rejected by Chen Wenhao. Of course, profit is needed, but there is no need to pursue profit one-sidedly. Rather than building a tech empire, it is more important to promote products faster and increase impact at this stage than to chase as much profit as possible.

After all, after receiving the help of an alien civilization in the adventure, his original intention was still to hope that after changing the fate of himself and the people around him, he could also personally push the world in a better direction.

Because it was a remote connection, Chen Wenhao's thoughts diverged some hesitation, but in the eyes of the scene, it was like a network delay. Today's harvest also makes them satisfied, the person in charge of the technology IT line cares about whether this new type of aircraft can be converted into a means of transportation for personal use, and the economic line is a silent mourning in advance for the transportation industry that is destined to be reshuffled.

In any case, in their opinion, the only thing that can prevent Chen Wenhao from changing the world again is when the airworthiness certificate will be issued and how much production capacity will be.

One reporter even had the beginning of the story in his mind, "Just today, I heard the sound of the gears of history turning faster!" ”
