giants of the era

Chapter 480 Cainiao Network
While the world's mobile phone manufacturers are preparing to enter the touch-screen smartphone, Apple is not idle.

After the success of the first-generation iPhone product, they immediately started developing the second-generation iPhone.

Li Zetian thought about it, and things that can be improved include processor, image processing, pixel resolution, large screen, full screen, curved screen, wireless charging, powerful AR virtual reality technology, fingerprint unlocking, facial recognition unlocking technology, artificial intelligence, etc. wait……

When you think about it carefully, there are still many things that can be developed.

iPhone1 uses the A1 processor.

As for the iPhone2, Li Zetian intends to let Apple launch a more powerful A1 processor that is even more than twice as fast as the A2 processor!
With the advent of the mobile Internet era, the CPU designed by ARM has become popular.However, ARM is an intellectual property (IP) supplier. The biggest difference between it and ordinary semiconductor companies is that it does not manufacture chips and does not sell chips to end users. chip.

Apple's A1 and A2 processors are CPUs that Apple has improved after purchasing IP cores from ARM.

In addition, the camera function of iPhone2 should also be greatly improved, and it must always be in the leading position in the industry!
Li Zetian thought that the iPhone 1 was developed according to the iPhone 4 in the previous life, and the phone was very small. Therefore, he planned to develop a large-screen mobile phone. Whether it is browsing the Internet, watching movies, or playing games, the large-screen mobile phone will be more comfortable to use!
Li Zetian emailed Jobs his design requirements and asked him to arrange the development of iPhone2.

As for those high-tech technologies that cannot be realized in a short period of time, Li Zetian arranged for other companies to research, such as Chronos Energy Company researching wireless charging technology, Flamingo Company researching AR virtual reality technology, and Chronos LCD Factory researching LCD screen, Kronos industrial artificial intelligence laboratory is researching fingerprint unlocking, facial recognition unlocking technology, artificial intelligence...

When the technology matures, Apple can use it directly.

……

October 2005 was a turbulent period for the mobile phone industry.

Major mobile phone companies around the world have begun to stand in line one after another, and related industries have also been greatly affected.

Once October passed, the industry suddenly became silent, which seemed like the calm before the storm!
Alphabet, the parent company composed of Google and Microsoft, is undergoing a comprehensive integration. As a result of the strong alliance, most of the business has been improved except for a small number of businesses. Among them, the Android system has become more and more powerful and has joined the Android camp. members are also increasing.

November is here, China's "Double 11 Global Shopping Carnival" is coming soon, Apple's iPhone 11 will become the most important product of Double 1!
Li Zetian gave benefits to Chinese compatriots. In the United States, a 4GB iPhone costs $799, but in China, on Taobao’s Double 11, the shocking price is only 4999 RMB! ! !
In 2005, the exchange rate between the US dollar and the RMB was almost 1:8.

In other words, a 4GB iPhone1 costs just over $600.You know, if American products are sold in China, there will be tariffs, and the price will definitely be more expensive, but Li Zetian sells them so cheap! ! !
Of course, giving benefits to Chinese compatriots is one aspect. Li Zetian also has several purposes, such as promoting the development of Taobao, increasing the number of iPhone users, cultivating more loyal Apple users, and promoting the development of China's mobile Internet.

……

In Hangzhou, Ma Yun suddenly called Li Zetian.

"Mr. Li, according to our forecast data, this Double 11, Taobao's transaction volume will increase greatly, almost at a rate of more than 200% every year. Last year's Double 11, many users complained that the double 11 express delivery was too Slow. I think, firstly, it is because there are too many parcels to deliver; secondly, there is no huge and efficient logistics network system to guide these courier companies to deliver goods. Mr. Li, you know, look at express delivery It seems simple, but it is not simple at all, how to deliver the goods to the user as quickly as possible is a very difficult problem!!!”

Jack Ma looked excited. Apple took out 11 million iPhone 200s for sale on Taobao on Double 1, and the price was so low. Naturally, there were so many people rushing to buy them. It was impossible for users who came to shop to buy them alone. For one product, Taobao is going to create a transaction record that shocked the world again this time! ! !

"Mr. Li, I suggest increasing investment in logistics and let Alibaba build a huge logistics system. Other express companies will join this system and provide relevant data so that Alibaba's logistics system can guide them on how to deliver goods. " Ma Yun paused, and said loudly: "A battle with command must be better than a mess of loose sand!"

When Li Zetian heard this, he was suddenly startled, and he immediately thought of Cainiao Network.However, Jack Ma obviously hasn't thought about it so comprehensively. At present, he only thinks of express companies, and does not include manufacturers, online merchants, third-party service companies, etc...

Li Zetian pondered for a while, and said: "Mr. Ma, your proposal is very good. I will seriously consider it. After the double 11 is over, I will come to Hangzhou to discuss with you in detail. Recently, Chronos industrial production 10 A Space super-large freighter, I think, was auctioned on Taobao before Double 11, and then let SF Express buy it. In this way, it will not only make a big news and warm up for Taobao Double 11, but also Let consumers subconsciously believe that there will be a cargo plane to deliver the goods for them, which will greatly shorten the logistics time and increase the success rate of the transaction!"

Hearing this, Ma Yun was stunned for a moment, he was so inhumane, and the first shot was 10 Space super-large cargo planes!As far as Ma Yun knows, the price of such a super large cargo plane is nearly 1 million US dollars each!
……

Among the many express companies, Li Zetian holds the most shares in SF Express, and is also the most optimistic about the development of SF Express. The value of SF Express is greater than the sum of the four "three links and one delivery" express companies!
On the night of November 11th, there was explosive news on Taobao that SF Express bought 4 Space super-large freighters for 80 billion yuan.As for the auction process, there is no need to say more. Netizens do not pay attention to the process, but only to the bombing result!

Netizen Pippi Xia: "Double 11 on Taobao is just around the corner, and SF Express is awesome. They bought 10 super-large cargo planes at once. What a fucking thief! Auctioned planes on Taobao, and then shipped them to Taobao. The goods, well, old iron, there is nothing wrong with it!!!”

"Fuck! There is no fastest, only faster! SF Express is going to heaven!!"

"Uh, SF Express has gone to heaven~~"

……

At the same time, the major media also reported the matter.

"Double 11 is coming, do you think the express delivery is too slow? SF Express spent 80 billion yuan to buy 10 super large cargo planes to solve the problem of too slow logistics!"

"Shut up for SF Express!"

UC Shock Department: "Shocked! This company is the most powerful express company in China!!"

……

Taobao.com and SF Express are popular in China before Double 11, and more people can't help but pay attention to this "Double 11 Global Carnival".

It's July 11th.

At night, countless people stay up late, guarding in front of the computer.

"The explosive price of 4999, hehe, those foreigners are envious of us!"

"It's not just envy, it's simply jealousy!"

"Damn it, I've only bought a Nokia N70 for a few months. If anyone wants it, I'll sell it cheap. Just 1000 yuan! If you can't buy it for 1000 yuan, you won't suffer, and you won't be fooled. It's really worth it!"

"Fuck off, who the hell still uses a Nokia N70?"

"That's right, compared to the iPhone, the N70 is nothing but rubbish."

"..."

As soon as the morning arrived, the trading volume of Taobao skyrocketed.

Breaking 10 billion in 100 minutes! ! !
Breaking 10 billion in 650 hours! ! !
Breaking 24 billion in 820 hours! ! !
On the day of Double 11, Taobao completed a turnover of 700 billion yuan, shocking the world!Apple alone sold more than 180 million iPhones.

After Li Zetian got the news the next day, he smiled lightly.In this life, with my help, the Chinese economy and the Internet have indeed developed rapidly, but it is indeed unexpected that Taobao can achieve this result.

"Selena, arrange the plane. Tomorrow, I'm going to Hangzhou."

"Yes!"

The trip to Hangzhou will start soon.

When Li Zetian came to Alibaba, Ma Yun and others greeted him one after another.

Li Zetian smiled and nodded at them. First, as a boss, he commended their efforts on Double 11, and then mentioned the logistics network that Jack Ma mentioned last time.

It has always been Li Zetian's style to act vigorously and resolutely.

Li Zetian didn't show politeness to them, and directly called Ma Yun and other company executives to the conference room for a meeting.

"Mr. Ma mentioned the logistics network last time. After I thought about it carefully, it was feasible! Then I took some time to perfect the plan!" Li Zetian said, gesturing to Selina with his eyes.

Selena nodded, took out her laptop and connected to the projector.

Soon, a PPT appeared on the projection screen.

"Cainiao Network?!!" There were only four large characters on the first page, and someone couldn't help but read it out.

Li Zetian smiled and began to say, "That's right, Cainiao Network is the name of our logistics network plan!"

"Cainiao Network aims to create an intelligent logistics backbone network that belongs to China in the future!! Specifically, it is to build a network of physical logistics storage bases across the country based on the advancement of urbanization while improving the logistics information system, and to provide All manufacturers, online merchants, express logistics companies, and third-party service companies are open and develop together with all participating links in the industrial chain!"

Ma Yun asked: "Is Cainiao Network building a warehouse?"

Li Zetian smiled and said, "Uh, you can say that if you want. As we all know, the warehouse logistics system is a very important part. It is a network node, and these network nodes together form the entire logistics network!"

"Everyone, please read the PPT,"

Li Zetian pointed to the PPT, and continued: "Cainiao Network will be formed by the umbrella company, Alibaba, Amazon, eBay, SF Express, Santong Yida and other companies. Hundreds of cities build physical storage facilities through the "self-construction + cooperation" method; the second is to use Internet of Things, cloud computing and other technologies to establish data application platforms based on these storage facilities, and share them with e-commerce companies, logistics companies, Warehousing companies, third-party logistics service providers, and supply chain service providers!"

"Cainiao Network's initial investment is 1000 billion yuan, 2200% of which will be used for self-construction of warehouses. According to today's standards for a modern warehouse, the cost of self-built warehouses is about 2500-3200 yuan per square meter. The storage area is about 3600-[-] million square meters."

"As for the investment in the second phase of Cainiao Network, it is 2000 billion yuan!!!"

The first phase is 1000 billion yuan.

The second phase is 2000 billion yuan.

Such a big deal, everyone was shocked when they heard the words.

Li Zetian glanced at them and smiled lightly. Isn't it 3000 billion yuan? If converted into US dollars, 400 billion yuan is less than [-] billion yuan.

"Once the Cainiao network is established, I dare say that the delivery efficiency will be significantly improved, and even any area in the country will be delivered within 24 hours!!!"

Everyone was shocked by the blueprint drawn by Li Zetian!
At the moment, everyone was very excited, and started to discuss, check for omissions and make up for vacancies, and further improve the Cainiao Network.

Three days later, Alibaba announced the Cainiao Network plan to the outside world, which immediately caused a huge sensation and sparked heated discussions.

Li Zetian wants to invest so much money, which will bring great help to the development of China's economy. The Chinese government likes to hear it. The leaders above expressed their strong support. There is absolutely no difficulty in building warehouses and obtaining land.
