"That's why I said we need to upgrade, to move towards intelligentization."
For example, with intelligent sorting, each package has a waybill with a barcode, and an intelligent system can be designed to achieve unmanned sorting.
For example, high-tech equipment such as unmanned dispatching and robotic packing can all be deployed.
Liu Qiangdong became more and more excited as he listened. "My God, what a vision of the future logistics industry this is! If it really came to fruition, everyone who saw it would be shouting 'Holy crap!' Let's do it! We absolutely have to do it!"
"Brother Lin, you're a genius! I never even thought of these things before. But now that you mention it, if everything were fully automated, how much money would JD.com save each year?"
"Haha, Dong-ge, let's start researching before anyone else thinks of it. We can apply for a patent and sell it to others. How about that? Isn't it a great deal?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, that's why I said you can make money, with that little brain of yours."
"By the way, Brother Jun, how's the production of Xiaomi's new products going?"
"It's been ready for a while now. They're all stored in JD Logistics Park in Shanghai. But now that it's built here, the next batch can be shipped here directly after it's produced."
"Yes, that's great. In the future, we'll not only make mobile phones, but also televisions, refrigerators, air conditioners, and washing machines."
"What? What's that? Isn't Xiaomi a technology company?"
"Yeah, who says tech companies can't make refrigerators, air conditioners, and washing machines?"
"Although but..."
"It's alright, Brother Jun. Don't forget Xiaomi's original mission: to let everyone enjoy the fun of technology."
Lei Jun rolled his eyes: "So you're saying that letting everyone enjoy the fun of technology means turning Xiaomi into a home appliance company? Does that mean we should also make a rice cooker while we're at it?"
"Eh? It's not impossible."
"..."
After visiting the logistics park, Lin Chen went home for a short trip.
"Mom and Dad, your precious son is back."
"Oh my, son's back!" Mom jumped up from the sofa and strode towards Lin Chen.
Then... he looked past Lin Chen and peeked out the door.
"Where's An Rou? Hasn't An Rou come back?"
"No, the logistics park I invested in before is finished. I came back to take a look. I came back alone. I have to go back to Shanghai tomorrow."
"Then you should go back today, so I won't have to make your bed."
"...Mom, am I still her biological child?"
"Haha, just kidding. What do you want to eat tonight? Mom will make it for you."
"Hehe, I want to eat ribs."
In the evening, the family of three ate and chatted.
"Son, thanks to you, your dad is now the vice president of a bank, and I'm the head nurse."
"Oh, you've been promoted! You'll have to give me a raise, right?"
"Go away, you earn more in a day than I do in a year, and I still give you pocket money."
"That's different. Money from my parents feels better to spend."
"Haha, okay, Dad will transfer two hundred to you in a bit."
"Dad, you're a vice president now, can't you be a little more magnanimous?"
The three chatted and laughed, creating a very harmonious atmosphere, until Lin Chen's mother asked about his love life.
"By the way, son, it's rare for you to come home alone today. I'm asking you, since you live with Anrou, you haven't done anything inappropriate while drunk, have you?"
"Mom, what are you thinking? Others might be knocked out after one drink, but Anrou can't hold her liquor at all; she'll be drunk after just one sip. Do you think I'd let her drink?"
"What about Chen Yue and Xiao Wan?"
"Uh... cough cough, Mom, what are you thinking? We're just colleagues now, fellow travelers on the road to making money."
"Son, you're in college now. We don't object to you dating, but we hope you only date one person at a time, or at least only one person at a time."
"Of course! I'm not a jerk!"
Lin Chen thought to himself, "Isn't there a system baby to keep an eye on me?"
System: Pretending to be dead, no cure.
The next day, Lin Chen and Lei Jun returned to Shanghai together to prepare for Xiaomi's new product launch event in October.
Lin Chen posted a status on Weibo.
"Xiaomi's new product launch event is coming soon! Everyone, guess what new products will be available? Guess correctly and you'll receive a gift (excluding mobile phones)."
Seeing that there was a prize for guessing correctly, netizens immediately perked up.
"I was just about to say a new phone, Lin Gou, you have no sportsmanship! Then I'll guess a tablet."
"Hey upstairs, I'll give you five dollars. Take it back and let me talk."
"Haha, you guessed a tablet computer, so I'll guess a laptop computer."
"In that case, I'll guess it's a computer monitor."
"mouse."
"keyboard."
"Speaker".
...
Netizens guessed almost everything related to mobile phones and computers, but Lin Chen did not announce any of the winners.
"Brothers, I suspect Lin is just teasing us and doesn't want to give us the prize."
"Not necessarily. Maybe Xiaomi is doing something cross-industry this time, so it's hard to guess."
"Could Xiaomi's new product be an inflatable doll?"
"Pfft, upstairs, don't go too far. Wait, it's not entirely impossible."
"Hahaha, you bunch of perverts, it's probably impossible for you to have a doll, but it would be nice to get a big TV for you to watch dolls."
Just as this comment was posted, Lin Chen suddenly appeared.
"Congratulations to this friend for guessing correctly. Please send me your address via private message, and I will send you a brand new Xiaomi TV."
This netizen was just making a casual joke, but unexpectedly, good luck struck, and they guessed it correctly.
Soon, his phone was buzzing with notifications about replying to his comments, as if it were about to explode.
The guy was so scared that he quickly turned off the message notifications.
However, he immediately became excited, quickly clicked on Lin Chen's profile picture, entered his homepage, and sent him his contact information and address via private message.
Lin Chen immediately replied: "Congratulations, friend. I'll send it to you right after the press conference."
Meanwhile, the keyword "Xiaomi TV" also became a trending topic on Weibo.
This is essentially building hype for Xiaomi's new product launch in advance.
Lei Jun looked at the trending topic, shook his head with a smile, and said to his secretary, "Look, all the money we spent on publicity is less effective than Lin Chen just posting a Weibo."
The secretary smiled and said, "Lei Jun, why don't you start a Weibo account too?"
Lei Jun's eyes darted around. "Hey, it's not a bad idea. Even though I'm not as handsome as Lin Chen, netizens won't call me 'Lin Dog'."
Lin Chen: ? ? ? Are you being polite?
"Sure, sure, let's go, let's go to the publicity department now and discuss the Weibo thing. I think it can save a lot of advertising costs once it's set up."
Without hesitation, Lei Jun and his secretary went to Xiaomi's publicity department and shared their idea.
The publicity department colleagues even gave Lei Jun a flashy look and took some promotional photos to use as his Weibo profile picture. Thus, Lei Jun's internet surfing career began.
