Chapter 136: Huge Market, Energy Consumption Problem

After Luo Jia's introduction, everyone finally understood that electric bicycles and electric motorcycles are also a big business.

More than 100 million motorcycles are sold in the world every year, and the world's first laurel once belonged to Chinese manufacturers, but in recent years, it has been surpassed by the third brother of India.

Indian motorcycle manufacturers sell 18 million units a year, while our country has slipped to less than 15 million.

Many motorcycle enthusiasts take pride in riding BMW, KTM, Harley, and other expensive imported motorcycles.

But actually, like BMW G310, KTM 690, 390, 190, Harley 400, all these models are made in India.

And a large number of Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, are from Southeast Asia Thailand.

Thailand also makes more than 10 million motorcycles every year, and if Chinese manufacturers do not exert their strength, they will even be surpassed by Thailand in a few years.

And electric bicycles are completely the world of domestic manufacturers, Yadea, Emma, Xinri, these manufacturers give people the feeling of the average, but they are the world, well-deserved overlords, manufacturing nearly 50 million electric bicycles every year, accounting for 90% of the world's share.

Those European brands and North American brands of electric bicycles are almost without exception the products of Huaxia OEM.

Together, these sales volume is as much as 1.5 billion units, and it is a huge industry that can bring hundreds of billions of net profits every year.

Coupled with ancillary equipment, helmets, gloves, wearing parts, etc., the market value is quite amazing.

Luo Jia will not let go of such a huge market, the automobile industry will be grabbed, motorcycles and electric bicycles, and even the bicycle field will also be won together.

Mr. Ren recalled the past and sighed deeply, "When I first retired from the army, I rode a Suzuki 125, and the single-cylinder motorcycle cost more than 20,000 yuan. ”

The CEOs present are all a little older, and they generally have deep memories of the motorcycle era in China.

In the past, it was a very fashionable thing to have a motorcycle, and the price of buying a motorcycle was often the accumulation of several years of hard work by the family.

It's a pity that in the later period, motorcycles were banned in the country, and motorcycles, a means of transportation, gradually disappeared from the land of China.

Every year during the Chinese New Year, you can always see in the news that people who work in developed coastal provinces form an army of motorcycles and return to their hometowns in the southwestern provinces.

Along the way, the local government set up rest stops to provide hot water and food for the motorcycles, and told them to pay attention to safety.

When she first watched this kind of news, Luo Jia felt very moved, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt very sad.

If there is no way, who wants to travel so far and ride a motorcycle over the mountains?

In case of rain and snow, not to mention the guilt, there is still danger.

But compared to other modes of transportation, motorcycles have the advantage of convenience and saving money.

It's not easy to work hard to make money, save some money, bring more things to the family, maybe everyone thinks so.

Luo Jia's tone was unusually firm, "In any case, electric bicycles and motorcycles must be on the road, before electric vehicles, and when they are sold, they must be cheaper, the cheaper the better." ”

"After all, our country is not rich enough that everyone can afford an electric car, and if technology can't serve everyone, it's the sin of us tech people."

Everyone clapped their hands and said yes, Luo Jia's strategy has always been like this, take mobile phones as an example, Huawei mobile phones are sold very cheaply in China, but they are expensive overseas, and they make less money in their hometowns and more money outside, and the profits come from this.

So far, only 15 percent of the Big Four's domestic revenue has been sheared, and 85 percent of their wool has been sheared from around the world.

Now Luo Jia is ready to enter the field of transportation, and the strategy is the same, instructing the cooperative manufacturers to make less money in China, but abroad, they must go to sea with great fanfare and make money hard!

"Don't worry, Mr. Ren, your Suzuki 125 of more than 20,000 yuan was indeed earned a lot by the neon people, but from now on, we will earn it several times more with interest!" Luo Jia said to Mr. Ren.

Mr. Ren was stunned at first, and then laughed, "Okay! Joyfully! Just say this to you, this glass of wine, I'm dry! ”

......

After the party, Luo Jia returned to Baoshan.

After drinking a little too much and getting dizzy, Luo Jia told the robot to wake him up at six o'clock tomorrow, and then went into the bedroom and fell asleep in a daze.

Just after six o'clock the next morning, Luo Jia felt that the robot was carefully massaging himself, he enjoyed it very much, closed his eyes, and let the robot press his whole body, and then stretched his waist and got up from the bed.

Luo Jia has the habit of drinking a glass of warm water after waking up, and the robot is holding a tray with a water cup on the plate and waiting aside.

"Alright, get the clothes I'm going to wear, and you can go play the game." Luo Jia said.

In fact, he has no clothes to prepare, just T-shirts and sweatpants, the wardrobe is full of such clothes, but the robot will wash the clothes worn by Luo Jia, iron them neatly, and then fold them.

Luo Jia went straight into the bathroom, took a shower, finished washing, changed his clothes and prepared to go out.

The robots, as usual, lay in the doorway, staring at his back.

When Luo Jia is gone, they will start playing video games.

Recently, they have become obsessed with Red Dead Redemption 2, this group of Internet addicted teenagers, tossing and turning there day and night, Luo Jia looks at the game screen is indeed very beautiful, but unfortunately he has long run out of time to play the game.

While watching the news on her mobile phone, Luo Jia came to the door of the company, and when she looked up, she just saw Li Moran.

"Did you wake up early or didn't sleep all night?" Luo Jia asked curiously.

Li Moran smiled, "The software center doesn't stay up late now, this is still your order, I am now used to getting up early and going to bed early." ”

Luo Jia nodded, the stage of tackling the operating system has finally passed, and he worked desperately overtime to catch up with the opportunity of Google's charges.

And now Luo Jia's order to various departments is to ensure that employees have time off, even if they occasionally work overtime and stay up late, they must make up for sleep the next day.

These people at the headquarters are geniuses who are more expensive than gold, and they are more efficient when they combine work and rest.

"And what are you going to do now?" Luo Jia asked again.

"Like you, come and see the electric version of the bike-sharing."

"Let's be together, then."

Luo Jia and Li Moran walked out of the company's gate, and sure enough, they saw a row of orange motorcycles, which were put into operation overnight last night.

And the ordinary bicycles of the past are being quickly recycled and sent to scrap treatment plants to be recycled.

Speaking of bicycle sharing, it is actually a waste of social resources, but there is no way, everything has a price, if you want efficiency and convenience, you must suffer the side effects caused by it.

Two people each swept away a bicycle, rode up and gently twisted the electric door, and the rear 300 brushless motor made a slight sound to push the motorcycle forward quickly.

Due to the lightweight design, the motorcycle is only 3.2 kilograms heavier than ordinary bicycles, and the wheels are thinner and the coefficient of friction is extremely low.

Coupled with the advanced electronic control developed by Xingchen Technology, it is very energy-saving, and one kilowatt-hour of electricity can run almost 100 kilometers, of course, if the weight is too large, it will not be able to run that far.

After the establishment of the bridge leading directly to Chongming and Nantong, Luo Jia can also buy land on Chongming Island and build a larger base, and the land price there is cheaper than Baoshan.

The Star Battleship has entered the final stage, and it will be delivered in early July, and then the second phase will be opened, and it will still be Baoshan District to supply land at the price of Chinese cabbage, and Luo Jia promised to stay here and not move away.

After Huawei's move from Shenzhen to Dongguan, the local people in Baoshan are now afraid that Luo Jia will also move away, and they will desperately give all kinds of good conditions.

After all, Xingchen Technology is now the golden sign of Baoshan, and the scale of taxation is also scary.

As a company welfare, those houses are very cheap, with the income of the company's employees, anyone can afford to buy them, it is really not good, the money is owed first, and it can be deducted from the salary slowly.

But there are too many single dogs in Xingchen Technology, and there are only about 600 people who drag their families, and there are as many as 1,500 sets left, which is enough for Luo Jia to have a headache.

"It seems that the number of charging piles is still not enough." Li Moran said.

Whenever the motorcycle starts charging, a charging sign will be displayed, and there are charging piles every 100 meters on average on this road by the river, so the charging is always intermittent.

"Take your time." Luo Jia said, "I have to believe in the strength of the national team, it can be used now, and it will take at least a few months to achieve perfection." ”

After Professor Ouyang returned, he often called Luo Jia, and Luo Jia heard a lot about the top-level planning for future transportation from him.

Of course, a large city as important as Shanghai will give priority to construction, and the network will be rolled out in the second half of the year, but it will take two to three years to truly complete the national network.

Luo Jia told Li Moran what he knew, and he asked curiously, "I believe that the national team will be able to complete the national network within three years, but how to solve the energy problem?" ”

"In a few years, all the people in the country will be running electric vehicles, which will consume a lot of electricity, and will the current energy network be enough?"

Luo Jia smiled and beckoned Li Moran to park the motorcycle aside.

Then the two of them walked to the river together, and there were several huge wind turbines on Chongming Island opposite, like white giants, slowly turning.

Luo Jia said: "First of all, you must know a situation: At present, China's total annual electricity consumption is 60 trillion kilowatt hours, of which agricultural electricity accounts for 1.8 percent, the tertiary industry accounts for 13.4 percent, residential electricity accounts for 12.6 percent, and industrial electricity accounts for 72.1 percent. ”

Li Moran frowned, "Industry uses so much electricity? ”

Luo Jia nodded, "That's not it, the production of one ton of aluminum will consume 13,500 degrees of electricity, one ton of steel will consume 700 degrees of electricity, steel, aluminum, chemicals, building materials, these four types of factories consume electricity, accounting for 30% of the country's electricity consumption." ”

"In contrast, electric vehicles consume much less electricity than industry, and do you know how much electricity is wasted in our country every year?"

Li Moran felt incredulous, his eyes widened, "No, there are still abandoned ones?" ”
