Yu You seemed to have thought of something and said to Cao Xiu.
"Mom, what you said about electric cars really inspired me. A lot of Hyundai's experience can actually be copied, or laid out in advance."
"If that's the case, can't we take advantage of the current low land prices and plan ahead? Build warehouses in various locations and ports?"
"When the economy improves in the future, especially when Xiaoyuan and his team's computer software reaches millions of households, we'll be able to seize the opportunity. We'll create some online shopping malls and become the number one in the retail industry!"
Cao Xiu understood that her daughter wanted to buy Taobao, JD.com, or Duoduo, and said excitedly, "Daughter, you have a big idea. Mom likes it!"
"However, your brother's technological breakthrough didn't happen overnight, so I don't think we necessarily have to wait that long."
"Have you heard of telephone orders? We can work on advertising the mall and placing orders by phone."
Yu You sighed and said, "But Mom, landlines aren't completely popular yet."
After all, this requires manpower and time to roll out bit by bit. Moreover, installing a landline is not free now, and even if it can be installed, most people are reluctant to do so.
Cao Xiu sighed. "Yeah, I was still thinking about mobile phones. They're not that advanced these days."
Yu You suddenly had an idea.
"My dad mentioned last time that Xiaoyuan is learning both hardware and software technologies. Hardware technology is easy to catch up with, but if software technology is to be applied, we'll have to build base stations in our own country in the future."
"In fact, this base station can not only be used for the Internet, it can also be used in wireless communication systems. In other words, it can build a communication network for mobile phone users."
After hearing this, Cao Xiu felt overwhelmed.
What is my daughter talking about? She is completely confused. Forgive her, a middle-aged woman, for not having studied these things even in modern times.
"I don't understand what you're saying. I just want to ask, what can we do?"
Yu Youyouyou glanced at her mother and said, "Mom, it's simple, just two words: pay!"
Cao Xiu... reached out and pressed her heart, always feeling that her wallet was at risk!
I finally came up with a big and profitable business, but before anything happens, in addition to building a warehouse, I actually have to build a base station first?
Cao Xiu: "Are you sure? Will this investment yield any returns?"
Yu You sorted out his thoughts and said, "Let's build base stations and warehouses at the same time, starting with large cities with large populations, and then gradually expand to smaller cities."
"What happens after it's built?" Cao Xiu pressed on. Apart from anything else, she felt she was going to be destitute!
Yu You continued, "Let's not talk about Xiaoyuan's computer development for now. Let's just talk about mobile phones, which are easier to achieve. For example, the big brother and Nokia."
"Once the base stations are built, these phones can be used. Otherwise, without the base stations, they're just like bricks."
"Once we have a warehouse, we can advertise and sell goods, and people can place orders by phone. We will implement a delivery service within a certain range."
"It's like this, one thing leads to another. Selling goods requires a phone, and a phone requires a base station."
Cao Xiu said, "That's a good idea. This way we can make money in advance and enjoy the benefits of Taobao, Jingdong, and Pinduoduo first."
"But my girl, your idea is quite grand, but are you sure it can succeed?"
This is a big project, and they currently use half of their profits for charity and R&D support, and the other half for the construction of these base stations and warehouses.
This means that in the next eight or nine years at least, all the money you earn will have a place to go!
At most, they have enough food and clothing, but it is basically impossible for them to save any money.
In Cao Xiu's opinion, this behavior of hollowing out future profits is somewhat radical.
Yu You said: "What can be done without risk? Otherwise, I should ask my dad for his opinion on this matter."
When Wei Min came back from the company, the mother and daughter got together again to talk about this matter.
Yu Weimin clapped his hands and said, "Great! I was worried that once Xiaoyuan came back, we would have to invest in building a few base stations in Beijing. You guys are really killing two birds with one stone."
Cao Xiu glanced at Yu Weimin and thought that men were not as good at living as women.
"Is that what we're asking you? Who doesn't know that having a base station is better? We're asking if investing so much money like this is a big risk to our assets?"
Yu Weimin said: "This is an era of rapid development, and opportunities are everywhere. Those who invest early will reap the benefits early."
"Just build it first, and when problems arise, find a way to solve them. If you're always timid about everything you do, then that's the best we can do."
"Ms. Cao Xiu, haven't you always been the most decisive person in our family?"
Cao Xiu...it turns out she is still timid!
Yu You also advised, "Mom, I think what Dad said makes sense. If we lose our money, we can just find another way to make it. If we can accomplish these things, we can not only expand into domestic retail, but also into import and export with those warehouses at the port."
Cao Xiu...her daughter is even more generous!
Their family is such an awkward existence.
Sometimes I covet money so much that I try to squeeze it into my pockets. Sometimes I spend a lot of money but still treat it as dirt.
Seeing her husband and daughter so motivated, Cao Xiu gritted her teeth and said, "Then let's do it! We still have space, so we can get by anyway."
"Besides, if this thing succeeds, our family's wealth will take a huge step forward. I'm afraid others won't be able to catch up even if they fly."
This is the real winning without any effort!
The family of three began to think about this matter carefully again.
The ownership of the base stations must be the state. They invested in their construction in the hope of obtaining some legal rights to use them. The state should be happy to see this happen.
So they don’t actually need to buy the land for base stations, the state can just mark it out for them.
However, the specific locations and density of base stations still require planning. Only with an executable plan can we contact the relevant departments to proceed to the next step.
But in fact, the three of them are also outsiders in these things.
So, the family of three wanted to make trouble again.
Yu Weimin said, "My daughter, I think your father-in-law He Zhiheng is quite interested in this. Can he come up with a plan for us?"
Cao Xiu said, "And Xiaoyuan, he's always stuck in the lab, dormitory, classroom, and library. It's just too boring."
"He should go out more often, for example, to see for himself the distances between base stations in the United States."
Yu You said, "Dad, Mom, I think what you two said makes sense. Zhiheng and his friends often go abroad, so there's strength in numbers. They can help us investigate the conditions of base stations, mobile phones, and video phones abroad!"
"My father-in-law is in China and is familiar with the work of each department. He can help us move this matter forward."
Qin Wei who was working, Qin Zhiheng who was on a business trip, and Yu Yuan who was studying abroad, all sneezed three loudly at this moment!
