Chapter 410 Director Xu's Idea of ​​Selling Cars

In early May, in order to reduce the negative impact of the invasion of the microbial army, countries around the world forced various official media to exhaust their brain circuits and dig out a series of news.

The threshold of Director Xu's home is as high as 10 billion meters, which is comparable to a space elevator.

What? Goldman Sachs Capital has poached the World of Warcraft R&D team from Blizzard, and is expected to launch the world's first epic magic online game within two years.

What TEP Group won the supercapacitor technology and plans to build a Boston electromagnetic railgun cluster.

The North American Congress passed a new trade bill to loosen all restrictions on red flag industries.

And entering late May, with the arrival of the World Cup, countries around the world seem to have found a new breakthrough in public opinion, promoting football and the World Cup with great fanfare.

For a while, products containing the cultural elements of the organizers were also frantically touted.

For example, Wajima's games, comics, AV, soup, travel, and even Chinese food all over the streets and alleys are all sold out.

It has to be said that the development of a country requires a certain amount of luck in addition to its own strength.

In the past three years, Wajima's low-end manufacturing industry has been destroyed, light industry has been completely suppressed by the Germans, the financial market has been hit hard by Wall Street, and the unemployment rate has surpassed the Asia-Pacific financial crisis, so that half a year later, it still failed to elect a chief.

Now facing the upcoming income from the World Cup, Washima seems to be grasping at straws, desperately improving the service level, even letting go of the review of brothel licenses, launching more legal "custom occasions", and introducing more Legitimate gaming establishments.

Many people don't know that Washima seems to have strict regulations and conservative folk customs, but it is actually a country that is keen on gambling.

Its gaming background is no less than that of Las Vegas. In 01 alone, the net income of related industries reached 2390 billion US dollars, which is more than Bandai, Mitsubishi, Nissan, etc. combined.

However, the "gambling" in Wajima is not playing cards, nor the notorious Kirov lottery, nor is it the evil Cao Cao running, but the "pinball game", also known as Pachinko.

The rules are quite simple, that is, launch the marbles in the game machine, and the marbles will spin around, and if they enter the hole, you can win a big prize.

A launch of 4 Japanese coins is roughly equivalent to 8000 cents. If you win the jackpot, you can get 320 Japanese coins, which is about [-] red notes.

The cost of playing a game is very low, and the reward for winning is also very low. It is called a venting emotion, but it has made countless Japanese people addicted to it, and it has caused millions of Japanese people to go bankrupt.

This shows how much the Japanese gambled.

Now the Wajima Council uses the gaming organization to launch the World Cup quiz and set up a series of awards, instantly attracting tens of millions of Japanese to participate.

Among them, in the group stage, calculated according to the odds, the maximum bonus for a single bet is 1000 million US dollars (similar to the three-color ball, it can be superimposed multiples, such as playing a set of numbers, and you will get 1000 million after winning, but if you buy this group repeatedly , buy 10 groups, after winning the prize is 1 million).

The top 16 knockout match, calculated according to the maximum odds, has a single bet maximum prize of 2000 million US dollars.

In the 1/8 finals, calculated according to the maximum odds, the maximum bonus for a single bet is 3000 million US dollars.

In the 1/4 finals, calculated according to the maximum odds, the maximum bonus for a single bet is 5000 million US dollars.

In the semi-finals, the maximum prize for a single quiz in a single game is 1 million US dollars.

According to the odds in the final, the accumulated amount of the prize pool will be emptied, and there will be no cap.

It can be said that the Wajima Council not only imitated the Kirov lottery rules, but also copied the "huge amount" gameplay of Mech Three Kingdoms to expand the influence of the World Cup.

As for whether you will pay...

The organizers are Wadao and Nanbangzi, the referees are basically from Wadao, and the gaming organization is also secretly supported by the Wadao Council, how could they lose?

5 month 20 number.

Group A quiz has started.

The betting object is 11 days later, Faguo VS Senegal.

But Wajima is not as bad as Xu Fei imagined, and this competition is 100% optimistic about Faguo.

In other words, global public opinion is focused on this World Cup. If the defending champion Faguo is blown away at the beginning, it will damage the reputation of Wajima.

If you blow the whistle, you have to wait for Fa Country to meet Wa Island.

Therefore, the odds are given as: 1.05, 3.55, 6.97.

Kelly index: 0.97, 1.15, 3.35.

It probably means that you buy Faguo Win and invest $100. After Faguo wins, you can get 100x1.05x0.97, which is about 101.85 U.S. dollars.

But if you put in 5000 million dollars in one bet, after Faguo wins, you can get up to 5000 million dollars, because the single bet bonus limit has been reached.

Therefore, you have to calculate the maximum amount you invest in a single bet based on the odds, so as to obtain the maximum profit.

If you buy the two sides to tie, after the two sides really tie, you can get 100x3.55x1.15, about 408.252 US dollars.

If you buy Senegal to win, and Sergal really wins, you can get 100x6.97x3.35, which is about 2334.95 US dollars.

If you guess wrong, you will definitely get nothing.

There is also a 'goals' betting, the relevant rules are more complicated, someone is lazy and busy, and has no time to watch the game all day, so he did not participate.

Wajima Council gave such odds and Kelly index in Group A competition quiz, it must be optimistic about Faguo.

Although the Fa Guo team has lost many famous players, the performance of Zidane, an all-round midfielder, has been called the possession of the ball in recent years, and no one can match it.

And Senegal...

Senegal is a country in the central part of West Africa. It originally had a population of more than 600 million and many ethnic groups. However, in the past two years, affected by the "Central African Disturbance", there are hundreds of people in the territory. It is said that the team is still reorganized. I haven't touched it. If it wasn't for the French Emirates sponsoring the air ticket, I might not be able to participate in the World Cup.

How could such a team win.

Therefore, the Wajima Council received someone who bought Senegal madly, not only did not reduce Senegal's odds, but instead gave higher odds, and at the same time increased the odds of Faradays.

It probably means that Senegal has high odds. If you buy the other party 1000 million US dollars, the gaming agency will inevitably lower Senegal’s odds in order to avoid capsizing in the gutter and reduce losses.

At the same time, if you lose, it means that the 1000 million dollars will all go to the gaming agency, and the gaming agency is optimistic about Faguo. In order to attract more people, they will follow the general trend and increase the odds of Faguo.

But people who know a little bit about football, and who know a little bit about football, don't think Senegal will win.

Wajima Council's move is purely to attract more people to buy Senegal.

However, after being used to being tricked by someone, the person in charge of Wajima Council suffered from the persecution paranoia of "there are always troublesome people trying to harm me".

After the operation was completed, someone was arranged to investigate who bought Senegal.

Soon, the assistant came to report:

"President, he is the chef and waiter of Takeuchi's catering company."

"Oriental?"

"Yes."

"Strange, why did they buy Senegal?"

"Perhaps it is like the saying that is popular in the world, they are stupid and have a lot of money."

In recent years, the economy of the East has grown rapidly, and the aviation business has become more mature. Coupled with the fact that many discount coupons and coupons have been put on the shelves in the supply and marketing system, Eastern people have begun to travel abroad on a large scale.

Some went to Europe, some to North America, and some to Southeast Asia.

When they go overseas, when they eat, drink and have fun, they spend crazily when they see gold and silver jewelry.

It is said that it took only one month to buy all the gold and silver stocks in the Thai market. Even if the price of gold and silver jewelry was doubled later, those oriental ladies who like gold and silver would not hesitate to spend money to buy them.

The assistant continued: "Their economic growth rate is almost exactly the same as before the economic bubble burst in Wajima. At that time, we were even crazier than Dongfang Dama."

"Makes sense."

The person in charge of Wajima Council nodded in approval.

At present, Western capital, including Wadao capital, is frantically pouring into the East.

Although the Eastern economy has developed rapidly, a huge bubble was born due to the financial market.

Just like Shengda Games invested by Goldman Sachs Capital.

The company's stock plummeted before, but now Goldman Sachs capital has returned, invested tens of billions of red notes in the operation, restarted the legendary game server, and introduced World of Warcraft to let Shengda act as an agent.

Now the stock of Shengda Game Company, if it is not affected by the daily limit image, it is estimated that it will have soared into the sky.

Does this have anything to do with the strength of Shengda Game Company?

It doesn't matter, because everything is created by Goldman Sachs Capital. If Goldman Sachs Capital withdraws, Shengda Games will be nothing.

At that time, the shareholders who bought Shengda Games will still be able to get their money back?

And the so-called financial bubble is "the fiction of Shengda Game Company".

This is true of the companies invested by Goldman Sachs Capital, the companies invested by Blackstone Group, the companies invested by the Morgan Consortium, and the companies invested by SoftBank.

When all foreign capital withdraws and the financial bubble bursts, even if you have a hand and eye with the adults, it will definitely not help.

"There is an old saying in the East that says: If you want to make it perish, you must first make it crazy."

The assistant cheered and said, "Oriental people are already crazy."

"Yo Xi!"

……

Daze, Hongqi Industrial Factory Director's Office.

When Xu Fei bought Senegal, he didn't ask the chef and apprentices to buy it himself, but asked Takeuchi Rano to buy it for him according to the list of labor dispatch. Even the chefs and apprentices didn't know about it.

But when the award is received, the chef and apprentice must go there in person, and all the money won belongs to them.

In other words, it's not that much less money than an adult.

In other words, He and the adults have reached the level of 'I'm only happy when you are happy'.

As for whether Senegal can win or not.

Wajima's competition this time will definitely blow away the country of Fa.

After Xu Fei finished operating, he continued to study electric vehicles.

There are no problems with the appearance, interior, and supporting electrification equipment of related models.

What needs to be determined now is the two transmission systems given by another research institution.

One is the most traditional design, flywheel battery + gearbox.

The driving process is equivalent to that of an electric car, step on the "refueling" pedal, the car speeds up, step on the brake pedal, the car decelerates, it only takes 3.98 seconds to accelerate from 2.5 kilometers, and only 32 seconds to decelerate from 45 kilometers. The moving distance is about [-]~[-] meters.

Regardless of performance or passenger experience, it completely crushes fuel vehicles.

Another design, is a flywheel battery fused with variable speed gears.

The flywheel battery is a vacuum-structured 'motor'. Charging causes the flywheel inside to rotate at a high speed. When it reaches a certain speed, it is equivalent to being fully charged. If you want to use its power, you need to connect to a 'speed change system' and connect the flywheel battery The 'axis' extending from the air.

So the traditional design is flywheel battery + gearbox.

However, scientific research institutions remove the gearbox, and then embed a set of devices similar to planetary gears outside the flywheel battery to replace the 'axis driven by space', and use magnetic rotation to achieve 'direct drive', which can increase energy consumption by 10%. utilization rate.

However, due to the omission of the gearbox, and the rotor speed of the flywheel battery is too fast, after stepping on the drive pedal, the first pinion of the gear unit rotates at super high speed in an instant, and the second gear docks with the first, slightly Deceleration, the third transverse gear is docked with the second, a large deceleration, the subsequent gear chain reaction, and the power is transmitted to the axle, driving the tires to start.

It's a bit complicated to describe the process, but it only takes 0.01 seconds.

In other words: too much throttle, too much momentum.

The traditional solution, that is, conventional flywheel battery + conventional gearbox, costs 16 red notes and has a lifespan of about 40 years.

The simplified solution, that is, a conventional flywheel battery combined with a transmission gear with average performance, costs 10 red notes and has an overall lifespan of about 30 years.

But for ordinary consumers, even if the main products are sold overseas, not many people will drive their cars for more than 20 years, and maybe they will replace them with new cars in 10 years.

"But 10 years for a new car is really a bit long."

"It's not in the interests of capitalists."

"There has to be a way to make the car a 'consumer product.'"

Xu Fei sat slumped in the factory manager's leather chair, looking around the office which was like a basketball court, looking for inspiration.

But the office atmosphere has improved, but I can't find the feeling of "I'm such a genius" in the office of the tin workshop.

He simply led the dozing mechanical dog back to the workshop office.

Sure enough, as soon as he walked in, he saw the "Octopus Graphics Card" that had already been ordered, as well as various modified car models presented by seven men and eight women, and he had an idea.

"Why don't we adopt the sales idea of ​​octopus graphics cards and modified cars?"

After Xu Fei finished speaking, he first called the military division, then notified the operation center, and then went to the auditorium to hold a new product operation meeting.

After hundreds of people trotted into their seats, he said:

"Graduate Xiao Wang joined our company and became a middle-level manager. After a year of hard work, seeing that the office was buying new cars, he secretly counted the money in his pocket and decided to buy one too."

"However, Xiao Wang's driving skills are not good. When he was on the road, because of the random lane changes of unscrupulous drivers, he panicked and drove the car into the ditch."

"Fortunately, Xiao Wang bought insurance. The insurance company learned what happened and helped to repair it, but not long after, Xiao Wang smashed the car onto a utility pole..."

"After repairing it again, Xiao Wang parked the car in the public parking space of the community, but someone scratched it, and three days later, when he reversed the car, he scratched the rear of the car."

"With such repairs, the car will be soaked in water in the third year."

"Everyone said, what should Xiao Wang do?"

Both the military division and the operation center are not simple-minded people. Hearing what the factory manager said, no one would foolishly suggest a new car.

Instead, he thinks about how to maximize profits and reduce the expenses of Xiao Wang, the middle-level management of the company, for the insurance companies, tin cars, and Hongqi cars that he controls.

The members of the legion, after discussing with their respective operation teams, raised their hands and said, "Director, the flywheel battery is a vacuum structure, the outside is completely sealed, and the drive system is connected by magnetic attraction. If the vehicle is soaked in water, the battery will be damaged. Control system, the insurance company can help it handle scrapping, and pay compensation according to the division of responsibilities, and then we recycle the disassembled parts and replace them with new ones for Xiao Wang.”

Xu Fei: "The plan is very good, but I hope it can be simplified, and the simplified plan can be made into a 'car buying habit'."

"???"

"The most expensive part of an electric vehicle is the flywheel battery. It uses a vacuum design and will not soak in water. It is constructed of pure metal and is not afraid of fire. Even if it runs out of life after 40 years, we can recycle many components, accounting for about 60% of the manufacturing cost."

Another member of the military division raised his hand and said: "Director, you mean to keep the core components, make the car shell into a consumer product, and make the electronic control system into an upgraded product. Every new car we launch can be Drive market demand, while selling new cars, while helping old car owners get new car shells."

"That's the idea."

Xu Fei put the design service company's plan on the big screen, "So, we can design five types of flywheel batteries with different performances, and produce them permanently, and then design a universal 'battery card slot' to accommodate these five types of batteries. flywheel battery.

Afterwards, we removed this part of the R&D department and design department, and only retained the design team, which was responsible for constantly updating the shell shape and upgrading the electronic control system. "

After hearing the news, the military division and the operation center had a heated discussion here, and soon some people raised different opinions, "Factory director, what should we do about the car inspection?"

"I remember that the vehicle inspection and testing agency has been equipped with charging treasures and Hongqi microcomputers for free, and has been connected to the Daze Industrial Complex to facilitate the statistics of vehicle entry and exit. Then, we can suggest that they introduce relevant bills, which roughly means , as long as the car owner uploads the appearance of the new car through the power bank and the Hongqi microcomputer at any time after changing the car, and ensures that the certificate and appearance are synchronized, it is considered legal and compliant.”

Member of the military division: "This is not a difficult task for the Daze Industrial Complex, but what about overseas?"

"It's easier overseas than domestically."

"..."

"So, what do you think about my idea of ​​selling cars and whether it can help us achieve 'maximization of profits'."

"Certainly."

"Create a detailed operation plan for me within three days."

"Yes, director."

Members of the military division and the operation center plugged their charging treasures into their respective desktop ports, downloaded the content and recordings of the meeting, and trotted away from the auditorium.

Xu Fei returned to the workshop office of the Iron Sheet Company, carefully looked at the octopus graphics card series and the vehicles modified by seven men and eight women for a long time, and checked the location of the opening ceremony of the World Cup.

South Bangzi capital - Seoul.

Well, Seoul.

After Cui Dayong of KS Group brought the previous manager of Nam Bangzi to play cards, the new manager ended the "de-Sinicization operation" and changed Seoul - Seoul to "Seoul".

For this reason, Xu Fei no longer pursues the nickname of the national idol - Gua Tai, which the Nanbangzi masses gave him.

The croaking emperor.

After Xu Fei confirmed the location of the World Cup, he contacted his second sister who was far away in Hongqi Industrial.

"Help me prepare a transport plane, the kind that can accommodate 10 cars, and fly directly to South Bangzi Seoul in five days."

"10 vehicles, at least 20 tons, is equivalent to a light tank. How can our family have such a large transport aircraft, why not use Kirov."

"Kirov flies too slowly."

"People and base are separated, you take a business jet to go there, and the car is transported by Kirov in advance."

"Makes sense."

"What are you taking the car to Nanbangzi for?"

"It's not stupid to engage in publicity."

"How to promote it?"

"Definitely showing his face at the opening ceremony of the World Cup."

"Can people agree?"

"I must agree, and maybe I will be invited over."
