Chapter 242 We Need a Little Gimmick

Tesla's current market value is only 32 billion US dollars, far from the Tesla that pushed Lao Ma to No. 1 with a market value of more than 700 billion.

Tesla's real rise is that the Shanghai Tesla factory went into production at the end of 2019. Tesla's market value began to grow explosively in 2020, rising from 100 billion US dollars to 500 billion US dollars in 11 months.

In the original world line, Shanghai Super Factory contributed half of Tesla's global production. With low cost and high efficiency, Lao Ma has frequently come to China since 2015 to pave the way for Tesla here and for the Super Factory.

As for the treatment conditions of the workers in Aramco, there are less work and more things to do, and the requirements are high. China's labor advantage is obvious, and the industrial chain is more complete, and the price of parts supply is also lower.

Although specaX is now sensitive as an important figure in the Aramco Artemis plan, Musk still wants to come to China to fight for conditions for Tesla.

What method should be used to get Congress to let it go?

…

"What's up, Mr. Cai? Want to come to Qiongzhou to watch the rockets? Ah? Talk about this later. Let me talk about this first."

Lin Ju hung up the phone and said to the person in front of him apologetically:

"Sorry, the company executives just had something to do. Shall we continue?"

"It's okay, it's okay. Mr. Lin is very busy. Please take your time to deal with it, take your time to deal with it..."

Zhang Yingming smiled and had no displeasure. He chatted and laughed with Lin Ju.

It is September 11th, and it has only been two days since the last anniversary. After Lin Ju's commemoration, he found ByteDance.

ByteDance has been established for four years now, and is about to launch its second super popular product after Toutiao: Douyin.

Douyin, the king who pioneered the era of short videos, Lin Ju still remembers when Douyin was just launched, he held his mobile phone and brushed it until midnight, and used up 1G of traffic in one night.

Being addicted to short videos for half a year, it may also be because the big data push mechanism at that time was not good enough. Lin Ju made up his mind to uninstall Douyin and never watch short videos again.

But the influence of Douyin is indeed gradually expanding, harvesting users of all ages, greatly driving operators, and Tiktok became popular all over the world the following year.

When short videos emerged in the mobile Internet, Lin Ju could feel more and more that time was getting closer and closer to the time before the time travel.

Such a popular product, even the wall-hanging Lin Ju couldn't help but take the initiative to find the door.

Of course, he didn't want to invest, but to cooperate.

Douyin short videos are very addictive, and are about to open a new era for Chinese netizens, making the Internet rich and colorful in various senses, and the content has greatly expanded, which brings about a huge demand for traffic.

It's 2016 now, and traffic is not cheap!

A Xiaomi card costs 1 yuan for 1G per day, and a monthly rent of 9 yuan is considered a magic weapon. The traffic of half of the operator packages is not enough, and even 10 yuan per GB.

This part of the traffic market is huge, and Jingwei Xintong happens to have something that can meet the needs: Jingwei satellite network.

What Lin Ju wants is to insert advertisements through Douyin now, so that users with large traffic needs can buy Jingwei ground receiving terminals.

Among them, the cheapest and most cost-effective is the 50Mbps receiver. Jingwei Xintong plans to charge 79 yuan per month and 899 yuan for an annual package. It captures satellite signals through a self-seeking antenna and sends traffic in the form of WiFi.

Monthly purchases require a 99 yuan receiver fee, and annual packages are free.

The receiving antenna is a small tablet about 15.6 inches in size. It can work when plugged in. After setting the local area and time, it automatically tracks satellites according to built-in information and can receive signals when placed in an open area.

Then it is connected to the router in the house through a cable. If you choose to buy a router matched with Jingwei, it will be cheaper because it is a low-end product customized in batches, and it can also meet the needs.

Then it is further subdivided into four high-end grades of 100Mbps, 300Mbps, 500Mbps, and 1000Mbps. The price gradually increases, which is roughly 150% to 250% of the broadband fee.

Why is it so expensive? In addition to the need to launch additional low-orbit forwarding satellites, Jingwei Network has a huge advantage: it is not fixed like broadband and can be used anywhere.

For example, in rural and remote areas, it is impossible to connect to broadband, and 4G traffic is too expensive. You can buy a ground receiver for Jingwei, which covers almost all parts of the country without dead spots. Where you can use GPS navigation, you can definitely access the Internet at high speed.

For example, engineering teams such as wind power construction, water conservancy construction, and road construction are often in deep mountains and forests, Gobi plateaus, and grasslands. There is no 4G signal, but you can enjoy a faster network than 4G with a receiving device. If it is a gigabit network, although it is nearly twice as expensive as broadband, it can be used by many people at the same time, and it is even more economical.

In addition, there are migrant workers who can take it with them whenever they want, which is convenient and easy to use, and they are also key targets.

As for the ordinary SIM card business, Xinyuan cannot do it. That depends on base station construction, and there are too many things involved. The post and telecommunications bureau is a real super giant, so just stay away from it.

In order to achieve the goal of full coverage within China, Lin Ju also had to learn from Starlink, launching a large number of about 500 dedicated communication satellites weighing 300 kilograms and orbiting at an altitude of 470 to 670 kilometers. They have streamlined functions and low costs. They can be launched using the Xinyuan-1 or Xinyuan-2 series, and about 3 to 50 satellites can be launched at a time, reducing the cost of each satellite to an average of about 1.5 million yuan.

The low-end fees of Jingwei Satellite Network do not make much profit, but the high-end profits are very high. In the future, it can provide more services to the world depending on the situation. It is OK now, but the fees abroad will definitely be high because there are not so many satellites.

Douyin's ability to bring goods is unquestionable. Seize the opportunity, not only to gain a foothold in China, but even to launch tiktok in advance.

Isn't the infrastructure abroad poor? Then use Jingwei Satellite Network.

0 infrastructure, you can also use 5G-like speed!

The fees abroad are not high, but they must be worthy of the status of a developed society. It is better to charge in US dollars without changing the amount, but if there is a tax increase, there will definitely be a price increase.

Zhang Yingming almost completely accepted Lin Ju's cooperation intention. Although he has sufficient confidence in Douyin, it would be better if he could pull another giant to join the team. Moreover, the Xinyuan system does not seek control, but just wants to attract traffic and sell goods. What is there to disagree with?

This also shows that Mr. Lin is also optimistic about short videos!

Zhang Yingming: "Boss Lin, how about this, we give you the first ID of our Douyin?"

"Forget it, forget it, this is too high-profile... Give it to Xinyuan, when will you go online?"

Zhang Yingming: "It is expected to be on September 20th."

"Let me think... Xinyuan on September 20th... Uh," Lin Ju suddenly began to look up and down at Zhang Yingming. The founder, who was born in 1983, is only 33 years old and looks strong.

Zhang Yingming was a little scared, and Lin Ju said with a little temptation:

"Boss Zhang, there happens to be a firm tourist flight in the middle of this month, which is also around the 20th. How about promoting the launch event on this day through the exclusive reservation live broadcast through Douyin? What do you think?"

"Of course there is no problem."

Lin Ju: "Well, but Xinyuan has more launches now, so this launch mission may not be so eye-catching. Maybe we can create a little gimmick."

"Boss Zhang, do you get sick on roller coasters?"
