Li Zehua, who doesn't like to eat alone, has not been idle either.

He has to shift his focus from QR codes and Hummingbird business back to the Pinxixi project, especially the battery swap cabinet plan that goes with it.

It’s no big deal to stand up BYD, but if the promotion of battery swap cabinets is delayed any further, you will be criticized.

The boss of Yadi was grinning from ear to ear and had no time to scold him.

Anyone who takes an order for 100,000 electric vehicles in one go will have no time to curse. Wu Xi, the two factories in Jinshi are operating at full capacity, and they are working in three shifts to speed up production.

Because one hundred thousand vehicles are just an appetizer!
The real big deal is at the back.

How many people are there in Pinxixi’s marketing team?

The first batch of training cost 15,000 yuan, and has now started running in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Anhui. After running for a while, I realized that electric cars are still very convenient.

Not only can you save fuel, but you can also drive around in the streets and alleys. Vans, pickup trucks, and small trucks are more suitable for pulling a truckload of samples and staying in a fixed place.

For example, the market and the village entrance.

Then they pulled the electric bike off the car and went door to door through the streets to notify everyone. They could also attract people with exquisite brochures.

what?
Not coming?

Throw two eggs over there, oh no, pass it over. If that’s not enough, add a washbasin. Wouldn’t it be nice to watch the fun in the open space at the entrance of the village?

It's there when you go, it's a waste not to see it!

Maybe you can become a lucky winner. Yes, there will be a lucky draw on the spot after the promotion, and one person will be randomly selected to receive a piece of exquisite clothing.

It’s a high-end product, sold for 399 in the city, and it makes you look great when you wear it out.

Delicious.

With popularity comes sales.

Pinxixi's marketing team achieved very good results in a small-scale pilot, even though the website was not yet launched.

The best field sales team had more than 20 people, and in just half a month, they earned more than 100,000 in cash sales alone.

Not to mention that the pre-sale market is also doing well.

Because we were accompanied by regular ICBC staff and the local township armed forces were present to testify, it was authoritatively certified and fair to everyone.

Have you seen the big color TV in the car? It’s a 42-inch LCD TV with a retail price of 6999 yuan. You just need to order it in advance now.

Pay a deposit of 699 and enjoy super value and considerate services, and receive a 699 shopping voucher for no threshold on the Pinxixi e-commerce website. Let me tell you, this website sells everything.

what?
Buy chicken~
Seedling?
Buy piglets?
Sorry, this thing doesn't exist.

It’s okay if you don’t want the online shopping vouchers. Do you see those two workers in the back wearing cable TV installation uniforms?
If you order in advance now, you can enjoy a one-year satellite TV service provided by the manufacturer and watch TV for free.

You will also receive a shopping voucher worth 399 yuan for all electrical appliances without any threshold. Yes, we have our Pinxixi experience store in town, you can choose any of the items in the store, even 5 discounted electric fans.

Anyway, the thing doesn’t cost much, and the manufacturer provides cost reimbursement.

In short, the business was established, except for the transportation. As the space in a small truck was limited, installing several electric vehicles meant that many samples could not be brought in.

I rode an electric scooter the whole way to the countryside, and there was a chance that the battery would run out on the way.

What to do? Go to the power cabinet quickly!
Don't delay your brothers from making money!
The 2% commission on sales and the additional rewards given by the manufacturers are a great opportunity for us to make money in the countryside.

There are many rich people in the rural areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai!

Whoever stands in the way of the brothers' progress is their sworn enemy.

boss?

You can still scold me.

So, Li Zehua is running to the grassroots sites in Shanghai to investigate the trial operation of the battery swap cabinets.

A lot of people surrounded him, some holding umbrellas. Li Zehua was wearing a white shirt, and if you didn't know him, you would think he was some important leader who came down to understand the people's sentiments.

Just looks a little too young.

"Chairman, this is a 3×4 residential battery exchange cabinet. Next to it is a 20-grid delivery counter. It only takes four hours to fully charge each battery exchange.

Theoretically, 6 battery replacement opportunities can be provided in 120 rounds a day, covering the entire site without any pressure..."

As the salesperson from Qingyun Power Technology Company explained, everyone nodded frequently.

Especially the management of the distribution department, they are almost crazy about this thing. There were countless complaints about electric vehicles running out of power and having to be pushed halfway.

But they are not humanoid interfaces, nor are they Pikachu, which can provide 100,000 volts of high voltage at any time.

When the company purchases electric vehicles, it is foresighted to add an extra battery, but they can only be charged at stations or restaurants. There are always so many stubborn people who don't pay attention to the battery capacity and deserve to run out of power halfway.

“The site selection is good, it is located between stations, and there are cooperating restaurants to provide electricity support.

By the way, we also need to consider the monitoring issue comprehensively. We can’t let the company solve everything. Many stores also have this need.

Just focus on the battery swap cabinets to avoid theft and other situations. You have to learn to control costs.”

Li Zehua listened to the introduction, looked at the specific situation, and instructed the person beside him: "Apart from 24-hour surveillance, are there any other anti-theft measures?"

The person in charge of the logistics department, who was responsible for the battery swap cabinet and the docking work, hurried out to explain.

"Chairman, during the small-scale test, we have taken into account all possible scenarios, and the preventive measures are foolproof."

"Don't brag. A battery exchange cabinet like this, plus the batteries inside, costs nearly 10,000 yuan. If it's stolen and catches fire, can you guarantee that nothing will happen?"

Li Zehua didn't believe it. Money can move people's hearts.

The pure production cost of the battery swap cabinet is actually less than 5,000 yuan, after all, so many orders were placed at one time, and the patented technology is also our own.

It doesn't cost much.

But that doesn't stop him from quoting a high price, as Power Technology Company also needs to make money from research.

The head of the logistics department patted his chest and assured: "In order to handle this matter well, we specially asked the brain uncle of the Six Gates to take action and bring out more than a dozen three-handed people from the detention center for testing.

Each item has been professionally tested hundreds of times, from the site selection and welding base, locking to the unlocking alarm function at the interface, including built-in anti-theft measures, all have been strictly controlled..."

The company gave a total of fifteen days, from finalizing the design for large-scale production to field installation and testing, and also had to take into account several aspects such as charging safety and anti-theft.

This also put the management in a hurry. They can guarantee the charging process as long as there is no problem with the lead-acid battery itself.

Anti-theft?

They have no experience either. Who would have the time to think about whether it is easy to steal other people’s batteries?

In the end, when they were forced into a corner, they simply went to the Six Gates for help, as they were experts in this area.

The latter did not hesitate either. Qingyun Group is now a key local enterprise and a long-term partner and donation unit of the Six Gates of Magic City.

This was no problem at all. They immediately found a dozen unlucky guys from the detention center, partly to strengthen the company's prevention work.

Secondly, it will teach these people a lesson. Have you seen the surveillance camera? It is high-definition and has no ma, and it covers all angles. Also, take a look at the automatic alarm device.

Anti-theft serial number on the battery itself, tracking device, etc.

The young man is still young, don't go further down the wrong path. The sentence for stealing property worth tens of thousands of dollars is different from the sentence for touching a battery.

Everyone seemed submissive on the surface, but in fact they were full of disdain in their hearts. It was only because you uncles were here, otherwise the battery would disappear out of thin air in a minute.

But this abnormal scene made everyone secretly alert. Isn't this equivalent to a disguised method of attacking themselves and asking everyone to be more vigilant?

This is a key security unit. If you steal its battery, be careful that you will end up in jail for the rest of your life.

In short, the person in charge meant one thing, that Qingyun's battery exchange cabinet is very safe.

"The municipal government, urban management, and street offices must make good records, and the companies must not fall behind in providing the sponsorship they should, so as not to cause more trouble for the policy."

Li Zehua turned around and whispered a few more words to him before saying to Qin Lang and Liang Xiaolong, "How long will it take for Magic City to be fully covered?"

“According to current standards, in areas with the highest concentration of orders, within university towns, and around large shopping malls, it is initially estimated that 4 to 500 large battery swap cabinets will be needed.

The number of residential buildings and urban villages for migrant populations needed has not yet been calculated.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a local firefighter came out and said:

"Your battery-swapping cabinet is quite interesting. At present, the number of two-wheeled electric bicycles in residential buildings, especially in areas where migrant populations live, is increasing.

Management is becoming increasingly difficult. The phenomena of unauthorized driving, riding bicycles upstairs, and randomly placing vehicles to block fire escape routes are rampant.

The fire hazards caused by charging always threaten the safety of people's lives and property. Can we solve this contradiction through battery swap cabinets and reduce the problem of illegal wiring? "

"Disaster."

Li Zehua thought about it and said, "First, there are many electric car brands and models, and the battery specifications of each company are different. It is almost impossible to rely on market behavior to adjust them to be consistent.

The second is that it is difficult to strike a balance in the charging issue. Residents use household electricity during the low peak hours at night, and the cost per kilowatt-hour is very low.

The power exchange cabinet is an industrial ladder power supply from the beginning, and its own cost, promotion and use cost, and personnel maintenance cost are very high. Especially in densely populated areas, due to various factors such as technology, it is not 100% safe and requires various devices such as security monitoring.

For example, the high-definition cameras we are using now have built-in monitoring chips and automatic early warning functions. In addition, the charging cabinet itself carries an alarm device to prevent accidents such as fire from occurring.

Have you eaten? Fengniao’s 24-hour on-duty personnel can immediately notify the property management or the takeaway courier to rush to the scene to deal with it in time..."

In fact, there are not many good solutions. A battery fire often means that the entire battery swap cabinet is scrapped.

Unless there are staff on site to deal with the situation and professional tools available for dismantling, the only option is to cut off the power supply immediately.

Then we watched helplessly as the battery swap cabinet was burned to ashes. No one could guarantee that such an accident would not happen.

Therefore, regulations such as strictly observing the number of times the battery is used and not allowing any debris to be placed around the battery swap cabinet were formulated from the beginning.

This also brings a more serious problem. The cost of single use remains high. 500-800 times for a battery is a very safe standard.

No one can guarantee it will exceed that.

Perhaps with the development of technology, new materials will emerge, such as ternary lithium batteries and graphene batteries, but cost is also a problem.

After laying out these problems one by one, the fire chief still did not have a good solution.

He cannot make a decision just by coordinating the work of the street, urban management, fire protection, public security, urban construction and other departments.

Not to mention pulling together electric vehicle manufacturers across the country and asking them to unify battery appearance specifications.

"Maybe there will be a chance in the future. Anyway, behind every seemingly outrageous regulation, there is often an even more outrageous reason."

Li Zehua spoke directly, "Everyone has to pay the price for their own choices, and only bloody lessons can serve as a warning to the world to a certain extent.

By then, we can implement the policy in a timely manner and face less resistance from all sides.”

The fire chief stared at him speechlessly, then turned his head away without saying anything.

But deep down I can't help but sigh, this is the fact, it's so difficult to do something!

After a round of on-site visits, Li Zehua gained a new understanding of the real situation and became more confident about the subsequent large-scale promotion.

"It's this cost that won't be reduced anytime soon. We also need to provide our own diesel generators around the experience stores in villages and towns..."

Qin Lang, as the first person in charge, talked as he walked.

However, Li Zehua quickly interrupted him and said, "On the premise of ensuring safety, cost is not the first factor to consider.

But what's wrong with your generator? Is there no electricity in the countryside?"

He had experienced too many good days after his rebirth and completely forgot about the difficult times he had experienced.

There were four large-scale power cuts across the country, one in August and one in October. The year in between, 08, was not much better.

Especially in rural areas, occasional power outages are commonplace due to the large-scale shutdown of thermal power plants.

It was not until 11 years later that the national power shortage and irrational distribution of electricity resources were effectively improved.

From then on, the word "power outage" seemed to have disappeared from most people's memories.

Faced with Qin Lang's explanation, Li Zehua was speechless for a moment.

Just as I was about to say something else to change the subject, I suddenly saw a familiar figure in the site.

Wipe your eyes, you saw it right.

He called Liang Xiaolong over, patted his shoulder in annoyance, and whispered, "You kid, you are playing this trick on me. Recruiting child labor is illegal."

"It's not me."

Liang Xiaolong followed his line of sight and took a glance, then instantly understood, "I'll take care of it right away."

"Deal with it, no wonder there is an extra stop on the inspection route today. I was still confused when I looked at the action trajectory map."

Li Zehua stretched out his hand and called Liu Xiaobo over again, but he didn't feel like beating him in front of everyone.

"hey-hey."

How could Liu Xiaobo, the instigator, not understand what was happening? He just smiled foolishly and acted stupid.

"Okay, you've done what you did, but don't do it next time. People who don't know would think you got here by flattering others."

Li Zehua glared at him unhappily and looked around. Fortunately, Yu Li was organizing a training reception today and did not come with him.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No one else knows about this, right?"

Liu Xiaobo is very sensible. "Boss, don't worry, I arranged this myself, I didn't even enter the information."

"If you don't do serious things, you will learn crooked ways very quickly."

Li Zehua said casually, and then quickly reacted, "Then where does her salary come from?"

Liu Xiaobo looked at Liang Xiaolong, who had not expected to be betrayed so quickly, so he said honestly:

"Boss, this money was paid by Jiandan Ai Company."

"what happened?"

"…Specifically, it was arranged by Professor Wu Liangyu, the company's independent director. He also specifically instructed that he had already communicated with you and obtained your consent."

"Communication is bullshit."

Li Zehua was almost speechless, covering his forehead and not wanting to talk.

But the matter was here, and it was impossible not to deal with it, so he called Qin Lang over again, "You continue to lead the inspection first, I have something else to do this time, and I will meet up with you later."

Qin Lang looked at him suspiciously, nodded, and then asked everyone else to get in the car and leave.

Liang Xiaolong also wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but someone gave him a look and he was instantly paralyzed.

"When it comes to charitable funding, I thought Old Wu would be very reliable, but this is what happened?"

Li Zehua didn't understand and was ready to go back and talk to him.

Liang Xiaolong, who knew all the inside story, had no choice but to come forward and explain.

"Boss, actually things are different from what you think, sister-in-law, oh no, it's just that the situation of the Shen family is a little special."

Regardless of the risk of being held accountable, Liang Xiaolong said it all in one breath.
“There are actually four children in her family. This one is the third sister, and there is a second sister in the middle who was sent away for adoption when she was young.

The fourth child is a boy, as you know. Due to some special policy factors at that time, he was induced to abort instead of being aborted, resulting in premature birth, congenital developmental defects, and some sequelae.

We sent someone to investigate and verify the situation. The family is struggling to make ends meet and is indeed eligible for financial assistance. I have all the specific information here.”

"Why don't you send it to me?"

Li Zehua curiously asked, "She works here, does her sister know?"

He had sensed something was wrong during their contact, and there must be something wrong with Shen Wanyi's family, but Li Zehua had been holding back and had not investigated in detail.

If he doesn't check, the people below may not check!
The limited public contacts were witnessed by Liang Xiaolong and Liu Xiaobo.

With the landlord, Professor Wu, acting as a go-between, it's hard not to have intersections with the Qingyun faction.

At this point, Li Zehua had nothing to say, "I just don't know if Shen Wanyi will agree. Anyway, staying in Shanghai to study is better than going home and being bullied.

Given the situation at her home, maybe what happened to her will happen to my third sister again."

Liang Xiaolong didn't dare to respond. This was the boss's private matter. He was drafted by the independent director Wu Liangyu and was already in a difficult situation. He didn't know what the boss was thinking.

But he didn't dare not explain, so he said, "Professor Wu also has good intentions."

"This is a typical case of good intentions leading to bad consequences. Forget it. I won't talk about studying in high school in Shanghai anymore. I will stop all the funding from Jian Dan Ai and seal up and destroy all the information."

Li Zehua was unwilling to leave any hidden dangers, and his attitude was very firm, "As for her part-time salary, you can apply internally and give it directly to me for approval. Remember, don't alert anyone.

And you, can you get away with it by just smiling?
I'll deal with you two later. Remember, keep this to yourself and don't tell anyone."

"Yes."

"must."

Liang Xiaolong and Liu Xiaobo were both confused, but that did not stop them from nodding in agreement.

Little did they know that Yu Li was still in the company. If rumors spread, Li Zehua would have a headache.

After letting Liu Xiaobo go in and find an excuse to call the person out, Shen Wanqing was still wondering why the branch company's top leader took such good care of her.

Is there any other intention?

When he saw a familiar figure outside, he was stunned for a moment. After a long while, he finally said, in a voice lower than a mosquito, "Brother."

Her sister asked her to call him that, and she couldn't understand why she wasn't allowed to call him brother-in-law? (End of this chapter)
