The Light of Domestic Products: The whole world begs me to sell

Chapter 139 Unmanned Autonomous Driving
Hu Lai was surprised.

It has to be said that the operation of Phoenix Shared Cars has completely exceeded his expectations.

Originally, it was only used as a technology verification platform for the New Energy Vehicle Department, and the company did not make a large investment. Unexpectedly, the effect has been very good in the past month.

At this time, Song Yang appeared in Hu Lai's office with an excited face.

"Boss, our car sharing has just been online for a month, and the statistics are out today!"

"In the past month, more than 1 customers have used our car-sharing business!"

"And now, our daily active number is also stable at 2000!"

Ok?
Hu Lai looked at the statistical report on the computer, but he didn't know much about the data of shared cars.

Song Yang explained: "Boss, the daily activity of 2000 people means that 2000 people use our car-sharing service every day!"

2000 people? !

Hu Lai was a little surprised. At present, there are only 2000 Phoenix shared cars in total, and [-] people are active. Doesn’t it mean that the previous customer just returned the car, and the next customer made an appointment to pick up the car?

As if hearing what Hu Lai was thinking, Song Yang continued.

"Boss, a few days before our shared car went online, 90% of the time during the day was operating at full capacity."

"At first I thought it was a customer's early adopter, but I didn't expect that after such a long time, the usage rate has not declined, but is still increasing."

"Moreover, our customer stickiness is very high, and our customers who place repeated orders are as high as 60%, which is simply the best affirmation of our service!"

Song Yang finished speaking happily, he was so proud.

The data of Phoenix Shared Cars is simply a fortress.

90% full capacity operation.

What kind of situation is this?
Even if it is a first-line brand in the industry, if it can reach 70% of the usage rate when the coupons are issued, it will be crying with excitement and shouting to take off.

And Phoenix has a full 90% usage rate.

Compared with Phoenix, the first-tier brands are completely farting.

What is even more terrifying is the repurchase rate.

60%!

This means that after 10 people have used Mayfly, 6 of them continue to use it.

You know, there are many customers who just came to experience this month, and the real repurchase rate may reach more than 75%!

I can't imagine it at all.

If these sets of data are known to other brands, I don’t know what kind of shock it will be!

Song Yang sighed, although his management and operation are credited for this, but the important thing is that the "mayfly" car sharing is too "hard"!

Too fucking hard.

Outrageously strong.

360-degree panoramic images.

Automatic parking.

Autopilot.

Putting these few very practical configurations on the car, coupled with the long battery life of 320KM, directly makes "Mayfly" a "top streamer" in the shared car industry.

Compared with peers of the same type with a 100-kilometer battery life and low configuration, it is simply a blow to dimensionality reduction!
All brothers!

And customers who have used "Mayfly" once can no longer tolerate other brands of shared cars.

"Forget it, if it's more expensive, I want to use the Phoenix shared car. How much money do I need?"

Not only is "Mayfly" too powerful, but the overall integration capabilities of the Phoenix Factory have also completely exceeded his expectations!

The after-sales maintenance and improvement of the new energy vehicle department is simply nanny level, and under the coordination of Yiyi, the Ministry of Administration, the information technology department has also set up a special department to conduct big data analysis on the shared car operation data.

Under the intervention analysis of big data, many information such as the number of car users per day, the time period of car use, and the place of car use are predicted in advance and informed to the car sharing operation department.

In this way, the operation center only needs to analyze the big data, plan the plan in advance, and deploy the venue vehicles.

After two consecutive weeks of testing, Song Yang was completely convinced, and the big data analysis of Phoenix's information technology department was ridiculously accurate.

It is hard not to think about taking off such a data-based Phoenix car-sharing car with superior hard power.

The more Song Yang thought about it, the happier he became, his face was so full of smiles.

Just at this time, Hu Lai finished reading the data report on the computer, Song Yang hurriedly said: "Boss, I suggest that we can expand the scale appropriately."

"Not only can we increase the number of operating vehicles, but we can also increase some places for picking up cars."

"Once the key areas of several counties around Shancheng City are covered, a sharing network will be formed in Shancheng City."

Seeing that Hu Lai did not refuse, Song Yang continued to talk about his thoughts:

"Boss, the first batch of [-] vehicles of our 'Mayfly' long-endurance version has already rolled off the production line, and it is ready to be launched on the market today."

"In the next step, I plan to launch two versions, which are specially used for transportation around the city."

"The two-seat version is specially used to run around the city, with a battery life of about 180 kilometers and a speed limit of 70KM/H."

"And the chassis does not need high-end configurations, only a few important configurations such as automatic driving and automatic parking need to be retained. In this way, the cost of our batteries will be greatly reduced, and the cost of the motor will also be reduced."

"Of course, the rental price of the two-seat version will also be lowered, which will better capture the market."

Reduce the configuration and launch a two-seater version.

Dedicated city scooter.

Hu Lai understood Song Yang's thoughts very well.

It can be said that Song Yang's idea is completely a market-oriented idea, by reducing the cost of vehicle manufacturing, and recovering the cost faster to achieve profitability.

Seeing that Hu Lai had some concerns, Song Yang continued:

"Boss, I discussed it with Li Kenan."

"We only reduce the cost of motors, batteries and chassis, and we will strictly control the quality of other components, so the overall quality can be guaranteed."

Different from Hu Lai's original intention, Song Yang, as the CEO of Phoenix Shared Car, really wants Phoenix Shared Car to become bigger and stronger and make more money.

Hu Lai considered for a moment, then agreed.

Although the original intention of Phoenix Shared Cars was not to make money, it is true that the operating results have exceeded expectations so far.

Since the effect is good, let Song Yang try it.

"Okay, Lao Song, it's no problem to launch two versions."

"You should communicate with Li Kenan more about specific matters."

"well!"

Song Yang looked excited, but Hu Lai agreed after a short thought.

After discussing the two-seater versions, Hu Lai turned off the shared car data file on the computer.

Originally thought that the matter of car sharing had come to an end, but Song Yang had other things to do.

"Boss, there is one more thing that must be decided by you!"

"Nowadays our shared car development is good, but there are also some problems."

"For example, our car pick-up points and car return points are still relatively small, and they are relatively far away. Many customers have expressed some inconvenience."

"If we can make an appointment to pick up the car on the mobile APP, the car will automatically arrive at the designated location."

"When returning the car, you can return the car directly near the return point, and the vehicle will automatically return to the return point. Then our car sharing will definitely become popular all over the country!"

Automatic pickup?

Return the car automatically?

Hu Lai was taken aback for a moment before reacting.

"Unmanned autonomous driving?"

Song Yang's face was a little excited, and he said:
"Yes! Unmanned autopilot!"

"I asked Li Kenan specifically, the high-frame high-definition camera and lidar we equipped on the 'Mayfly' can completely realize automatic driving."

"As long as we keep the speed below 30 kilometers, there is no problem."

Low-speed unmanned automatic driving.

Of course, Hu Lai is very confident in the L3 level automatic driving in the system.

According to Yanguoli regulations, the L2 level is only semi-automatic driving. The system can perform multiple operations on the vehicle, but the driver still needs to intervene.

The L3 level is to truly realize the operation of automatic driving in a specific environment. The driver can leave the steering wheel with both hands and complete all driving operations independently by the vehicle.

Phoenix's L3-level autonomous driving is far more advanced than the L3-level of other car companies in Yanguo, and it can completely realize low-speed unmanned automatic driving.

However, the current laws and regulations of Yan Kingdom do not clearly stipulate the use of L3, let alone unmanned automatic driving.

Song Yang saw Hu Lai's worry, and added:

"Boss, the latest road regulations issued by Shancheng City not long ago have allowed low-speed unmanned autonomous driving to drive on certain roads."

"So there is no problem with our L3-level automatic driving in the mountain city!"

"Really?"

Hu Lai was a little surprised. Although all parts of Yan Kingdom had issued regulations related to automatic driving, he did not expect that Shancheng City would follow suit.

However, this matter is of great importance, and Hu Lai did not agree to it for a while.

Hu Lai is not worried if it is only L3 autonomous driving, but he cannot be careless when it comes to unmanned autonomous driving.

The simplest question is, who is to blame if there is a car accident?

Song Yang didn't expect Hu Lai to agree immediately, the two discussed a few more details, and then Song Yang left.

Looking at the back of Song Yang leaving excitedly, Hu Lai secretly felt that it was too amazing.

I didn't expect that the shared car that I didn't value was good, and I didn't know what scale Song Yang could make the shared car in the end.

Just a few days after Hu Lai and Song Yang communicated in the office, the 460-kilometer long-range version of the first batch of [-] Phoenix vehicles suddenly went online in the early morning.

Early the next morning, when customers who were accustomed to using the "Mayfly" shared car opened the software to scan the QR code to rent a car, many customers were pleasantly surprised to find that the Phoenix shared car had an additional model.

"Mayfly" long battery life version.

For a while, the Phoenix Shared Car Forum became lively.

"Damn it! Phoenix has released a new model? The 'Mayfly' long battery life version? 460 kilometers battery life?!"

"Phoenix's iterative speed is too fast. The one-month-long battery life version has come out. What does Phoenix say about you? What do other brands think about your battery life?"

"I can already feel that other shared car brands are going to launch Shancheng City, and the pressure of Phoenix Shared Car..."

"Hey, don't talk about other shared cars. I'm afraid I'll feel the pressure on new energy vehicles. Phoenix's T0-level car has a longer battery life than Zesla's Model 3!"

"Tuigui, I remember correctly that the Wuling MINI only has a battery life of 150 kilometers. The battery life of the Phoenix is ​​simply inhumane!"

"If you want me to say, the happiest thing is that Phoenix has invested in a new car. This Phoenix shared car is good for everything, but there are too few cars!"

"Brothers, you are chatting, let me experience this 460-kilometer long battery life version, the Phoenix is ​​really a fortress, and the price of the long battery life is the same as ordinary!"

"Hey, why do I feel that the quality of this batch of cars is much better than the previous batch..."

With the launch of the Phoenix 460-kilometer long battery life version, "Mayfly" is gradually being driven to farther places by customers.

Gradually, not only Shancheng City, but also Rongcheng City next to it, Phoenix shared car gradually appeared.

After all, the battery life of 460 kilometers is there, and the current gas price is really cheaper than driving your own car!

The sudden emergence of "Mayfly" in Shancheng City also attracted more car-sharing brands to pay attention to Phoenix Factory. At that time, more manufacturers began to study "Mayfly".

Song Yang was also very excited about the booming development of Phoenix shared cars. He not only rented more parking spaces dedicated to Phoenix, but also signed parking agreements with some ordinary parking lots.

This makes the pick-up and return points of Phoenix shared cars more abundant. At the same time, Song Yang continued to increase orders for [-] long-endurance versions and [-] two-seater versions, further expanding the scale of Phoenix shared cars!

With batches of new long-endurance versions of Phoenix on the line, Phoenix's market share in Shancheng has soared to the first place.

The good operation of Phoenix Shared Car in the mountain city has also attracted the attention of many capitals.

Is car sharing a good business?

In such an environment, Hu Lai suddenly welcomed an old acquaintance.

Without any prior notice, Feng Rong suddenly appeared in Hu Lai's office.

"President Feng! Why are you here!"

"Haha, Mr. Hu, it's not because of you!"

The two shook hands warmly, and Feng Rong sat on the sofa.

Watching Hu Lai make tea himself, Feng Rong smiled and said:
"Mr. Hu, I didn't expect that in just a few months, your shared car business would be so successful!"

"No, our senior leaders are very interested and hope to have a chat with the management. When I saw Phoenix Shared Cars, it must have been done by Mr. Hu, so I came here in person."

"However, I don't think Mr. Hu is willing to accept investment!"

Hu Lai laughed out loud, Feng Rong was right, he had no intention of accepting investment.

But after laughing, he was still a little surprised, he didn't expect that the car sharing business would be taken by Gao Ling.

The car-sharing business is not so popular, is it?

Feng Rong also saw Hu Lai's doubts, and explained with a smile: "The main reason is that your shared car is operating very well in Shancheng City."

"Other shared car brands are not as competitive as yours."

"If it can be rolled out across the country, with your current competitiveness, there is no doubt that you will become the industry leader."

"Nationwide rollout, industry leader?"

These days, there are frequent reports of success in Phoenix Shared Cars, and Hu Lai also has some ideas in his heart that he wants to expand the scale.

Hearing Feng Rong talk about it now, I was very curious and wanted to hear Feng Rong's opinion.

He looked at Feng Rong, and asked with a smile: "Why, President Feng values ​​car sharing so much?"

Feng Rong's expression turned serious instead: "Mr. Hu, do you know why our senior leaders value your shared cars?"

"Do you think it's because of the profits from those leases?"
