Hua Lianyue proposed the plan to set up a company in Tianfu when she was in high school. At that time, Li Xiangling wanted to take the college entrance examination in Tianfu.

Now Li Xiangling has indeed been admitted to the university in Tianfu, and Hua Lianyue is doing this. Sometimes when people do something, the reason is so inexplicable.

In fact, according to Jiangnan’s understanding of the development of Tianfu, although it is definitely better to enter early than to enter late, early entry also has the problem of entering early. First, because of logistics, and secondly, because in this era, it is not so easy to gain a foothold in Tianfu.

You may not be able to see it when doing small business, but once the business reaches a certain scale, especially the chain form like Jiangnan Huayue, it will definitely be disturbed by local forces.

This is also the main reason why Jiangnan and Hualianyue controlled Jiangnan Huayue Company to a limited number of provinces.

This was Jiangnan’s worries at the beginning, but later he had his father’s classmate Yan Yujun, so Jiangnan Garden Company settled in Tianfu, so Jiangnan was not so hesitant.

After dinner, Jiangnan and the other two sent Li Xiangling back to school.

Li Xiangling's school is also quite interesting. It is very close to Tianfu Railway Station. However, from Tianfu Railway Station in this era, the train speed was very slow no matter where you go, which was also subject to the geographical location of the Tianfu Plain.

Saying Li Xiangling away, Jiangnan and Hua Lianyue walked back to the hotel.

Hua Lianyue suddenly asked about the matter about magnetic levitation mentioned by Jiangnan that day: "Yesterday you asked Li Xiangling about magnetic levitation. I saw that you didn't say much in front of her. Do you have any plans for magnetic levitation?"

Jiangnan said: "Actually, there is a very huge idea in my mind, which is to establish a maglev logistics system between major central node cities in the country. This maglev logistics system is different from maglev trains. It will not be made very large, mainly small, so the train will also be very small, only a few dozen centimeters wide. The number of these small trains will be very large. They will shuttle between various central node cities at a speed of more than 600 kilometers per hour. I call this speed-level network a first-level network, and then it is a second-level network with a speed of about 400 kilometers per hour between prefecture-level cities and county-level cities."

Hua Lianyue was stunned when she heard this and asked, "Your idea is so huge. According to your idea, you must not build a network of tens of thousands of kilometers."

Jiangnan said: "It's almost the same, but such a pipeline network does not require very complex construction. It can be produced and finalized in the factory and can be connected and installed on site. The maglev train is relatively small and the load capacity is not very large."

Hua Lianyue asked again: "I probably understand. This is very fast, but what about economical?"

Jiang Nan said: "This involves another issue, which is e-commerce. Now the Internet will gradually become popular. In the future, everyone can shop online on computers. The products purchased online can be directly transmitted to the county town through our backbone network. After arriving at the county town, it will then be delivered to customers through manual delivery systems."

Hua Lianyue said: "The third-level network is for economical considerations, right?"

Jiangnan said: "The reason why I consider the third-level network is not only economic, but also related to network capacity. The faster the line of the same length, the more cars you can pass. In fact, there are not too many emails to go to the prefecture-level city to the county-level city, so it does not require that fast speed. Also, the distance between the prefecture-level city and the county-level city is not as far as the central city, and the speed reaches 600 kilometers per hour, it requires an acceleration and deceleration process. The distance is too close and it actually cannot reach the maximum use speed."

Hua Lianyue thought for a while and said, "If we send something from the Demon Capital to our hometown Xiaochuan, according to your idea, cities like Changbei will be set as a central node city. It will take about an hour and a half to the Demon Capital to Changbei, and it will take about an hour to take a secondary network from Changbei to southern Gannan, and it will take about half an hour to go to Xiaochuan in southern Gannan. Then I mean that the whole journey will definitely be able to get to Xiaochuan after 4 hours."

Jiang Nan said: "This calculation is only theoretical, but the whole process will not exceed 6 hours at most. Just imagine, if you buy something in the afternoon, you can receive it in the morning of the second day, or you can get up early to go to work and get it home at night. What kind of experience is this?"

Hua Lianyue said: "That can be understood as the time when the goods travel between the trunk networks is actually not much different. When we buy things from the imperial capital and the magic capital in Ogawa, we may be less than the time when we travel on the trunk network. In fact, it seems that it will not be one or two hours apart."

Jiang Nan nodded and said, "The speed of 600 kilometers per hour is just a conservative speed. Such a miniaturized package car can be faster, such as 800 kilometers per hour. As long as it does not break through the speed of sound, the technical difficulty should not be very high."

Hua Lianyue said: "This idea is really a bit scary. I just don't know what effect it will be if it is actually applied?"

Jiang Nan said: "The key is still economics. If a kilogram of email is sent from the Magic City to Xiaochuan, my hometown, only 10 yuan, then I believe it is still very marketable."

10 yuan seems not much, but 50 kilograms are 500 yuan. Moreover, from the Magic City to Jiangnan’s hometown, Jiangnan, according to the distance, the high-speed rail ticket is about 500 yuan.

The operating cost of a logistics system like this is definitely much cheaper than recruiting people, because the passenger transport system is obviously much more complicated than the freight transport system.

For example, when passenger maglev is, the most basic requirement is that the carriage must be powered, but freight maglev is no longer needed.

Hua Lianyue said: "Then why did you choose Southwest Jiaotong University?"

Jiangnan said: "Because the technology like Magic City Maglev is a straddle type, if we do straddle type magnetic levitation cars, the car will be very inconvenient to operate and maintain. If a large number of maglev cars like ours fail, we can use a maintenance car to push it out. After arriving at the station, we can directly take it off the track. The straddle type is different. If you want to take it down, you must design a unique track."

Hua Lianyue said: "If it is a small item, there seems to be a market. If it is a heavy item, it is better to use a big truck to transport it. Jiangnan, what is your original intention of doing this? Is it just to increase the speed of express parcels?"

Jiangnan said: "In fact, it still has practical application value. For example, organ transplantation, like before, it can only be delivered quickly, but if we have our high-speed logistics system, it will not be affected by the weather. In addition, in a super developed city like Magic City, our last-level network can even be used to the community. In this way, the recipient only needs to collect his own express delivery at the designated location in the community."

In this way, once a disaster like an epidemic occurs, local cities can also use such a secondary network to deliver materials to communities.

After talking about Jiangnan’s grand ideals, Hua Lianyue asked the most core question: “Jiangnan, how much is your expected investment in such a huge ideal?”

Jiang Nan thought for a while and said, "I guess I'll have to be one or two hundred billion."

Hua Lianyue looked at Jiangnan for a long time and said, "It seems that you can spend more money than your father. Last year, Changying Real Estate in Hanchang borrowed 200 million yuan from our Jiangnan Huayue to operate Jiangnan town. This year, you proposed a plan of over 100 million yuan. Do you want to drive the national GDP?"
