The black technology empire started with a debt of one billion

America February 2016, 9.

The video of the first collision of the dark blue car quickly spread throughout Europe through Douyin.

Lithia headquarters in Medford, Oregon, USA.

Recently, Brian DeBoer has been in a very good mood since the launch of Deep Blue Cars. In two months, the booking volume of Deep Blue Cars in Europe has reached 240 million units. If all 240 million units of Deep Blue Cars are sold, at least he can give Lithia Auto brings in $500 billion in net profit.

This profit adds up to more than the profit Lithia has made since its establishment.

Now Brian DeBoer spends his days sitting in his office with his legs crossed and smoking a cigar.

He just needs to check from time to time whether the monitor reservations have increased.

As soon as Brian DeBoer arrived at the office, he turned on the monitor to check today's sales.

Brian DeBoer rubbed his eyes when he saw the numbers on the monitor and couldn't believe the numbers in front of him.

He immediately stood up and pushed open the office door and shouted towards the common area.

"Who can tell me why sales have soared by 5 units since last night?" Brian DeBoer asked.

"Boss, there was the first collision of a dark blue car in China. A truck squeezed the dark blue car into the cement isolation belt on the roadside. The driver was not injured in any way. The lady in the passenger seat was just frightened and fainted. Video of the accident It has already spread to Europe through Douyin,” replied Bruno Pereira from the Operations Department.

"I will give you a quota of [-] million US dollars from the Propaganda Department. I will see this news in all European media tomorrow." Brian DeBoer said looking to the left of the office.

"Okay, boss," said Penny Hawke from the Propaganda Department.

After Lithia made money, Brian also greatly increased the wages of employees, so now all Lithia employees are as refreshed as Brian.

The pre-order volume of 15 units can bring Lithia a profit of [-] billion US dollars, so Brian DeBoer will spend [-] million US dollars in one go to promote it.

Taking advantage of this popularity and hyping up Deep Blue Cars, future bookings will definitely increase dramatically.

After Brian DeBoer returned to the office, he picked up his cell phone and called Cao Mang.

Fortunately, Cao Mang didn't sleep and the phone rang three times in a row and answered the call.

"Brian, why are you calling me so late?" Cao Mang asked angrily.

Now that Lithia has to rely on Cao Mang to make money, Cao Mang will naturally not give him a good temper. You know, Lithia makes a lot of money as an agent.

"Cao, nearly 250 million units have been booked in Europe, and the delivery date has been scheduled for two years. Can you increase the production capacity of Deep Blue cars?" Brian DeBoer said with a playful smile.

"I have already invested in building a base in Dubai with a daily production capacity of 1 units. In addition, I have also invested in building a base in China with a daily production capacity of 1 units. These two factories are expected to be ready for mass production in February next year. There is no problem in supplying you with 2 units or more every day," Cao Mang said.

"Oh, Cao, you are the angel sent to me by God." Brian DeBoer said excitedly.

"You don't want to publicize this everywhere, you know? We can just keep silent and make a fortune. If the people in Detroit know about this, they might do some tricks." Cao Mang said.

"Cao, unless Congress unanimously approves a complete ban on Deep Blue, they will not be able to stop the sales of Lithia. I have recently won over many congressmen. If something happens, these people will stand up for us." Brian DeBoer He said with a confident face.

"You can take care of things in Europe yourself. My personal goal is to keep a low profile as long as I can, otherwise Deep Blue will not be able to develop to this point. Now Lithia has a small amount of assets. I wonder if you are interested in engaging in the insurance industry? "Cao Mang asked.

"Cao, do you mean car insurance?" Brian DeBoer asked curiously.

"Yes." Cao Mang replied.

"But I'm not very familiar with this industry, and we don't have Wall Street expertise." Brian DeBoer said helplessly.

"Leave professional matters to professionals. You sold 250 million cars in Europe, which is not equivalent to 250 million customers. As time goes by, there will be more and more customers. These customers bring us every year How much profit.

Deep Blue Insurance already has a very mature algorithm in China. Our insurance algorithm is different from other insurances. Our algorithm is calculated based on big data.

The safer the car the customer drives, the lower the fee he needs to pay; the lower the safety factor the customer drives, the higher the fee he has to pay.

If the customer's driving safety level is too high to a certain extent, we can refuse to provide insurance for him.

To put it simply, drivers who frequently violate traffic rules will have to pay higher premiums. If they are experienced drivers who obey traffic rules, the premiums they will have to pay will be lower.

Moreover, our premium calculation method is calculated on a daily basis, which means that customers only pay when they use the car. If the customer does not use the car, the customer does not need to pay any premium.

Of course, some natural disaster insurance requires additional charges. After all, no one can predict natural disasters and man-made disasters. "Cao Mang said.

"Cao, I will fly to China the day after tomorrow to discuss this matter with you." Brian DeBoeran said patiently and excitedly.

Such user-friendly insurance Brian DeBoerian believes that no Deep Blue car user will refuse this kind of insurance.

"If you are determined to do it, I will send someone to talk to you." Cao Mang said.

Brian DeBoeran was also very happy to hear that Cao Mang was going to send someone over. After all, it would take a lot of time for him to fly to China.

"Cao, I wonder how you plan to cooperate?" Brian DeBoeran asked.

"Lithia holds 51% of the shares, and Deep Blue Insurance holds 10%. I will use overseas funds to hold the remaining 39% of the shares. This can avoid a lot of trouble. My only requirement is that dividends must be paid every year, and the dividend ratio cannot be low. At 75%." Cao Mang said.

"No problem," Brian DeBoer replied.

Through this cooperation method, Lithia gained absolute control of the insurance company. As for annual dividends, which was a good thing for everyone, he could not think of any reason to refuse.

"Okay, let's do that. I'm going to bed. Someone will contact you later." After Cao Mang finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

December 2016, 9.

Inside an apartment building in Hangzhou.

Long Zhongyun was sitting in the restaurant having breakfast when the phone on the table rang.The caller number showed that it was the customer service number of Deep Blue Insurance.

After confirming that the call was not a spam advertisement, Long Zhongyun answered the call.

"Hello, is this Mr. Long Zhongyun? This is the Customer Department of Deep Blue Insurance."

"Is there something wrong?"

"Hello Mr. Long Zhongyun, the situation is like this, our company has launched a brand new car insurance, this insurance."

Customer service manager Balabala began to introduce this new type of insurance. The reason why this insurance was launched so late is that the algorithm model requires data to support it. It took Deep Blue two months to obtain enough data.

"That means the insurance I originally purchased can be converted into your new insurance, right?" Long Zhongyun asked.

Because his job is a game anchor, he has very few opportunities to go out every day. If he switches to this new type of insurance, his insurance premium will be very low.

According to the new algorithm, the premiums he originally paid were enough to last him two years. Even if he had a high income, he was very excited about this new type of insurance.

"Yes, sir, we will deduct your original fee on a daily basis, and the remaining fee will be transferred to the account. It will be calculated based on the new algorithm at that time. You only need to make the conversion on the Deep Blue Auto System." Customer Service said.

"I know, I'll get it done later." Long Zhongyun said.

The news that Deep Blue Insurance launched a new type of insurance quickly spread online.

"It's awesome. Deep Blue Auto's new insurance is really awesome. Especially for someone like me who uses the car twice a week, I only need to pay premiums for 2 days in a year. I can save at least 104 days in a year." One third of the premium.”

"I just went to learn about this kind of insurance. This kind of insurance is calculated based on big data. That is to say, the higher your driving safety factor, the lower the fee charged by this new type of insurance. If you often violate traffic regulations, The rules charge higher.

I believe that this new type of insurance will greatly improve the driving quality of Deep Blue car owners. "

"After all, no one's money comes from strong winds. I can live a more comfortable life by paying less, and it also improves traffic safety. For this reason, I give Deep Blue a thumbs up. It's a pity that this insurance can only be purchased by Deep Blue Cars. I hope Deep Blue can provide this service to other brands.”

“If everyone abides by traffic rules in order to pay less premiums, then our accident rate will be greatly reduced. I don’t know how this planner’s brain is able to come up with this kind of insurance that is both profitable and provides quality. , this kind of insurance is the insurance that society needs.”

"This is a company with a sense of social responsibility. Other companies only know how to make money, but do not know how to improve the quality of car owners. When the quality of car owners is improved, insurance companies will lose less money, and insurance companies can also rely on this to make more money."

“Only Deep Blue can come up with something that can not only provide safety guarantees for car owners but also improve social quality.”

Office of the President of Shenlan Technology Industrial Park.

Cao Mang was sitting at the tea table drinking tea with Wang Chuanfu.

After the insurance model came out, Cao Mang called Wang Chuanfu and asked him to come over.

At this time, Wang Chuanfu was reading the document given to him by Cao Mang carefully.

"Mr. Cao, you, Deep Blue Technology, are so ingenious when it comes to insurance. I really don't know if there is any industry that you can't do." Wang Chuanfu said after putting down the document.

"Mr. Wang, thank you very much." Cao Mang said after adding more tea to him.

"What do we need to do if we want to enjoy this service?" Wang Chuanfu asked.

Although Deep Blue Automobile has disclosed most of its automobile patents, the self-rescue function patent has not been disclosed. The self-rescue function is a function of Deep Blue EDR.

Car EDR is a driving event recorder, which is a car event data recording system. It is equivalent to the black box on the car. EDR can record all the processes before, during and after the vehicle collision. In this process, some key data of the car's driving can be recorded. , for example: the vehicle’s real-time speed, accelerator and brake pedal strokes, vehicle steering actions, ABS status and seat belts, etc., and then use these data to analyze the vehicle’s driving status and driver operation problems at that time.

"All we need to do is add one of our EDRs to the car. I believe Mr. Wang also has a certain understanding of our EDRs. Moreover, our EDRs also come with a self-rescue function, and we have separated Deep Blue's self-rescue center.

In the future, when we provide self-rescue services to customers, we will provide self-rescue services to customers in the name of automobile manufacturers. "Cao Mang said.

In fact, EDR has been around for a long time, but it has not been popularized due to price reasons, and the policy has not imposed requirements, so most cars do not have the EDR function, but Deep Blue's EDR has a function that others do not have.

This function is the self-rescue function.

In fact, it is neither difficult nor easy to develop this thing, but it cannot be developed at all in two or three years.

It is very simple to develop an EDR, but it is difficult to have a self-rescue function.

This self-rescue function is achieved through four electronic gyroscopes and a set of algorithms.

"Mr. Cao, can old cars be modified to use this set of functions?" Wang Chuanfu asked.

Wang Chuanfu was very excited when he heard that Deep Blue EDA also provided self-rescue services. This function was not included in the patent disclosed by Deep Blue Auto. If BYD Auto can also provide this function, then BYD's reputation will definitely be greatly improved because of this service.

After all, which car owner doesn’t want to be rescued as soon as possible in a car accident.

"No problem, our EDR can be customized according to each manufacturer's system." Cao Mang said.

"How much does Deep Blue Car's EDR cost?" Wang Chuanfu asked again.

"The price of an EDR is 580 yuan. You decide the price yourself." Cao Mang said.

Wang Chuanfu nodded with satisfaction after hearing the price. This price can be said to be very generous. They can sell it for 1000 yuan after retrofitting an old car. This is equivalent to one more profit channel for them, even if it is retrofitting a new car. The price is not expensive either.

Overall they are bearable.

Because the chip is developed by Deep Blue itself, the cost of EDR is very low. The cost of an EDR is only 420 yuan, and you can earn 140 yuan for each one sold.

Even though the profit of an EDR is only 140 yuan, it is also very scary when the volume is large.

Moreover, the DeepBlue self-rescue function is also profitable. If you want to enjoy this self-rescue function, you need to pay an Internet fee of 9 yuan every month.

Although the money is given directly to China Mobile by the customer, Deep Blue Technology has reached a cooperation agreement with China Mobile. Each customer will return 4 yuan to Deep Blue Technology every month. If the customer purchases an annual package, China Mobile will return 36 yuan. Block to Deep Blue Technology. (End of chapter)
