"Tip: It is detected that the current test user has been officially selected as the richest man in China by Hurun Magazine in the current time and space."
"Tip: Congratulations to the current user for unlocking the hidden title of the richest man in a country."
"Tip: Unlock the intermediate hidden title and get a big draw from the reward system. Do you want to do it now? Yes/No."
WTF?
Li Fan was dumbfounded, but he felt like he was being bullied.
I was confirmed to be the richest man in China a few days ago, right?
How come the hidden title is only unlocked now?
This is unscientific!
At this moment, a push message came from Li Fanyu’s mobile phone. When he picked it up and looked at it, he understood.
That was a push from Tencent News.
"At around 10 o'clock today, Hurun Research Institute released the latest edition of the Hurun Global Rich List. Among them, Li Fanyu, chairman of Zhengxin Group, surpassed Wanda Wang Jianlin to become the richest man in China with a fortune of 320 billion. Li Fanyu’s 25-year-old age and 5,400% increase in wealth have also broken the record in the history of Hurun Global Rich List! ”
Oh!
What the heck, it turns out that an official statement is required before the achievement can be unlocked!
"Brother Fan, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Li Fanyu was thoughtful and silent and his eyes were chattering, Xu Fufang patted him on the shoulder and asked.
"Oh, it's nothing." Li Fanyu made the decision in his mind not to draw the lottery for the time being, and then drew his attention back.
"Well, the current situation is roughly like this. Battery technology is still a decisive factor hindering the development of electric vehicles. So if you want to set the power mode of the concept car as electric, then the first thing that needs to be solved is the battery.
You know, how good the motor technology is, it affects the performance of electric vehicles, but if the battery technology is not up to standard and the range cannot be improved, then everything is a castle in the air. ”
Seeing that he had come to his senses, Xu Fufang continued to report.
Li Fanyu nodded, "I know that. So according to your opinion, how should I get started now?"
"Well...I don't have any specific ideas. But Huawei has invited us to do research and development before, and I think we can do it together with them. Now they are starting research on graphene battery application technology. If there is a breakthrough in this technology, it may be applied to electric vehicles. ”
"How is the progress of the project now?"
"It's still in its infancy. However, Huawei has invested heavily in this project, and its investment in the first batch of projects reached 80 million."
Li Fanyu shook his head helplessly, "Huawei has always been willing to spend money on research and development. But what I don't understand is that they are not short of money or people, so why should they join forces with us?"
Xu Fufang smiled and answered his doubts - "Internet cars."
Li Fanyu slapped his head.
Hey,
As expected again!
Nowadays, this group of companies engaged in Internet or communication technology seem to be in trouble, and they have all set their sights on the field of Internet cars.
Li Fanyu had experienced the Internet boom in the previous time and space, so he naturally knew the development of this concept.
In fact, the concept of Internet cars has been proposed very early, and it is the same in the previous time and space as it is in this time and space.
Because the development of the Internet has been slowing down after computers and mobile phones, Chinese Internet companies are in urgent need of new interfaces and platforms.
With the rapid development of the market in recent years, the per capita share has become higher and higher, and cars have become popular in the eyes of a large wave of Internet elites. It is expected that cars will become the third largest Internet interface and platform after computers and mobile phones.
In contrast, there is a consensus in the automotive industry that Internet of Vehicles technology will play a major role in the development of automobiles in the future.
But what the specific function is... I don’t know.
But just like when the Internet first appeared, apart from traffic and advertising, no one could find the application scenarios and development direction of the technology. No one would have thought that the Internet, which seemed like a useless thing at the time, would bring such huge changes to people's lives in such a short period of time.
In short, the Internet industry wants to use automobiles as a carrier to provide the industry with a third opportunity to take off.
People in the automobile industry are not aware of this, and subconsciously believe that joining forces with the Internet industry will bring huge changes and development opportunities to the automobile industry.
In fact, the two industries have never given up joining hands. In the first wave of Internet of Vehicles, Internet of Vehicles products such as OnStar, SYNC, and Tencent Lobo Box all brought some Internet of Vehicles functions to users.
In the second wave of Internet of Vehicles, functions such as remotely switching air conditioners on and off, finding cars on mobile phones, and other interoperability functions between mobile phones and cars have also brought some conveniences to Internet of Vehicles for car owners.
However, due to a series of issues such as security, user pain points, and profit models, these products and functions have always been tepid.
In this time and space, with the emergence and rapid growth of Tesla, the domestic Internet industry has once again paid attention to the concept of Internet cars.
In the third wave of Internet of Vehicles that has just emerged, technologies such as remote control, OTA upgrades, high-precision maps, intelligent voice recognition, and autonomous driving have been hyped by the Internet industry, and they are eager to apply them to cars. .
But in Li Fanyu's view, these functions have not actually brought about essential changes to the car, but only slightly improved the car experience - basically, users are just looking for something new
And because of the immaturity of the technology, consumers also have deep concerns about Internet security.
For example, Li Fanyu saw a domestic Internet company launch a Laoshizi car monitoring and anti-theft system.
This system actually uses two wide-angle cameras and sensing units in the car to identify whether the windows, doors, and body are experiencing abnormalities. If an abnormality is found, the recording mode will be automatically turned on and the video will be sent to the car owner or designated user’s mobile phone.
The idea is good, but Li Fanyu feels that this function is particularly thoughtless.
Because an electronic jammer can completely shut down the entire system.
If you think about it from another angle, this system needs to be connected to the Internet. What if I get kidnapped by hackers?
Imagine that one day, you drive your car to the wilderness and have a soul-deep body communication with your lover in the car.
But your monitoring system has been kidnapped by He Ke, so wouldn’t you just become Ivy’s male pig’s trotters?
Or maybe a hacker uses this video to blackmail you. If you don’t give the money and just give it to your wife, what’s the deal?
Or, this monitoring system is also bound to your wife's mobile phone.
When you and your lover were in the car, the surveillance system mistakenly thought that someone was smashing the car. Wouldn't it be more embarrassing to turn on the video and pass it on to your wife?
So, although these seemingly convenient functions and equipment increase the cost of automobile products, their actual daily usage is not very high.
As a result, consumers are not so cold about this concept of the Internet.
So does that mean there is no need for the development of Internet cars?
No.
In Li Fanyu’s view, if you really want to make breakthroughs and changes in Internet cars. It is not enough to rely solely on the popularity of the Internet industry and the automobile industry.
Because from the current stage, Internet cars are just a service function. Customers do not want to experience earth-shattering changes after purchasing a car product equipped with Internet functions at a high cost.
So in his view, if the concept of Internet cars is really to be implemented, then it must be transformed from a service function product into an infrastructure.
Imagine if cars and cars, cars and roads, cars and people, and cars and transportation facilities all interact in real time using the Internet, then the entire transportation system will be connected by a large network without borders.
Under such broad scope, the pain points of the market will be completely stimulated and transformed into effective business models.
Only in this way will the prospect of Internet cars explode!
Thinking of this, he had an idea. He nodded on the table and said to Xu Fufang: "By the way, herbal medicine, I remember... How many companies have made electric buses before?"
