Foreign media rushed to report and comment on Taobao Logistics. This news was so popular that it even exceeded the news of William's visit itself.
People are amazed at the advancement and foresight of a Chinese private enterprise, and it has also greatly improved people's views of China in these countries.
Many Western countries, even Japan and South Korea, have no understanding of China’s economic development speed. When many people think of China in this era, they still remember the backward scene of the 1960s and 1970s. They know very little about China, but they still carry China’s very Backward biased ideas.
Now, Taobao Logistics can be regarded as opening up the tip of the iceberg for China's economic development.
A logistics company based in China is able to achieve such a high level of automation and informatization. While this news shocked people around the world, it also made people realize that China is no longer the backward image in their minds. They are already on a rapid rise.
Domestic media, especially Yangma, are particularly interested in the news that Taobao Logistics is hotly discussed overseas. Out of pride, out of pride, and for the purpose of cultivating private enterprises and national self-confidence, they have also begun to intensively use their own channels to reports on the various praises Taobao Logistics has won overseas.
This feeling, in Li Mu's opinion, is very similar to the scene when China's high-speed rail went abroad and was praised by the world. It was praised overseas and also praised domestically. The national pride was greatly enhanced because of the "going out" of the high-speed rail. On the Internet, Posts from foreign social networking sites that carry foreign netizens’ comments on China’s high-speed rail often go viral because citizens are eager to know what foreigners think of China’s high-speed rail and want to see content about China’s high-speed rail conquering them.
Taobao Logistics has basically achieved the same effect at this stage.
The crazy pursuit of foreign media also made many leaders particularly interested in Taobao Logistics. In a short time, they received countless inspection intentions.
Li Mu is very satisfied with this result. Taobao Logistics has become a star enterprise, which indicates that Taobao Logistics will receive more policy benefits at the national level or local level in the future. The country will provide more support and encouragement, and local governments will also Provide more preferential treatment and support.
Li Mu hopes to get support from the national and local governments, not because he wants to take advantage of the government, but because he knows that if he wants Taobao Logistics to develop rapidly, he must have the full support of the country's own local governments to obtain land, resources, and policies. The more there are, the faster Taobao Logistics will run.
Next, Taobao Logistics still needs state support in many areas, such as establishing an airline, establishing an on-site sorting center at a hub airport, applying for routes for future cargo aircraft, and even establishing a central domestic hub in a few or more years. Cities build their own cargo airports. If these can get state support, their efficiency will be greatly improved.
Just when Taobao Logistics attracted the attention of the whole world, Brother Liu took Li Mu's order to visit the railway department and proposed Taobao Logistics' request for express luggage trains in the future.
I originally thought that it would not be easy to get assistance from the railway department, but what Brother Liu didn’t expect was that the railway department fully affirmed and supported Taobao Logistics’ needs.
The leader responsible for the entire speed increase said on the spot that Taobao Logistics is the pride of private enterprises and the new business card of Chinese private enterprises. The railway department is willing to do its part to help Taobao Logistics reach a higher level.
So, the map adjustment designer of Daxue was called on the spot in the conference room. He took the railway map and asked Senior Brother Liu directly: "Tell me, how many express luggage trains do you want, and where are they going? We are the first batch to come off the assembly line." The quantity of DF11G is limited. In addition to the direct express trains that have been booked, up to ten sets of locomotives and chassis can be allocated to you in the first phase."
Speaking of this, the designer also explained: "Mr. Liu, don't be too little for now. When Qishuyan Locomotive Factory increases production in the second half of the year, there will be more and more Dongfeng 11Gs, and Bombardier's technology transfer will be settled soon." , when the three vehicle factories across the country will produce 25T chassis at the same time, we will adjust the product structure and increase the production proportion of luggage trolleys... "
Senior Brother Liu was simply dumbfounded. He thought that if he could run two separate lines and four trains from Yanjing to Shanghai and Shanghai to Yangcheng, it would be a great deal. If it didn't work, it would be fine to open two separate trains first, because the express The speed of the luggage train can ensure that the journey from Yanjing to Shanghai can be controlled within 12 hours, and that from Yangcheng to Shanghai within 20 hours.
He never dreamed that as soon as the railway department opened the door, there would be ten special luggage trains, which immediately made Brother Liu very excited.
If there were only four groups, he would not hesitate to choose the two lines from Yanjing to Shanghai and Shanghai to Yangcheng. But it was suddenly increased to ten groups. How to distribute the remaining six groups? He also wanted to talk to Li Mu again. Discuss it and hear what he means.
The graphic designer smiled and said: "It's okay, Mr. Liu, you don't have to worry. The big speed increase is expected to start early next year. You still have time to think about it slowly. Just tell me the conclusion before December."
Senior Brother Liu immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "Thank you so much. I will go back and communicate with my colleagues in the company to see how to distribute the remaining six sets of chassis."
The graphic designer nodded and said, "I'll leave you a contact information. Once we've reached a conclusion, we'll make an appointment to meet and communicate."
…
While Senior Brother Liu was communicating with the railway department, Li Mu took William with him to visit his alma mater, Renmin University.
William's visit to Renmin University has two purposes. The first is of course to conduct academic visits and exchanges; the second is to inspect 3321, because the operation center of 3321 has always been at the National People's University.
Since Renmin University is Li Mu's alma mater, and even Li Mu is still a student at Renmin University in terms of student status, William attaches great importance to this visit.
The National People's Congress itself is also particularly concerned about William's visit. The school has made a lot of preparations, hoping to take this opportunity to show its face at home and abroad.
In fact, the National People's Congress is considered one of the top universities in China, and it is next to Tsinghua University and Yanda University. However, its reputation overseas is far inferior to that of its two neighbors. Originally, the reputation of the two was only Generally speaking, the National People's Congress is even more obscure.
Moreover, RUC’s school hardware is not very powerful. Compared with Tsinghua University and Yan’an University, it looks shabby and has no momentum at all.
After Li Mu accompanied William to the National People's Congress, accompanied by the leaders of the National People's Congress, he led William to visit the entire Renmin University campus, and also visited the 3321 operation center, and then came to the auditorium of the National People's Congress, where William would face the Renmin University students. , give a short speech.
As the actual person who invited William to come to China, Li Mu made a simple opening for William in front of all the teachers and students of the school.
He said: "First of all, it is a great honor today to be able to return to my alma mater with Prince William and introduce my alma mater, Renmin University, to William. Renmin University is an institution of higher learning with a long history. Maybe before this, overseas people had no interest in the Renmin University. I don’t know much about it, but I hope that Prince William’s visit can enhance Renmin University’s international reputation.”
"Secondly, Prince William himself is a new generation of young leader who attaches great importance to the development of education. He is now determined to introduce the 3321 model to the UK and provide an opportunity for the majority of British students to realize their knowledge. I personally agree with him on this point. They all hope to make their best contribution to their country and the education of young people around the world. Therefore, here, I also hope that Prince William can maintain long-term contact with Chinese universities and Chinese university students. Cooperation, although we are all here as individuals, I still hope that through Prince William’s visit, we can closely connect higher education in China and the UK.”
"Finally, let's welcome Prince William with a round of applause."
William felt a little nervous when he was facing the students of Renmin University and the Chinese media.
Before Li Mu tailor-made a development route for him, he had never attracted such a large amount of attention in front of the media.
After calming down, William said with some nervousness: "Thank you very much, thank you all, thank you to the classmates and faculty of Renmin University, thank you to Mr. Li Muli, this is my first time coming to China, and it is also my first time coming to China's higher education. School, today I come here with a learning attitude. I hope to learn new knowledge and concepts from all of you sitting here. I also hope to learn from the development of the National People’s Congress and 3321 ideas that can be of practical help to education. model."
"Britain and China are both countries with long histories, and they are both countries that attach great importance to education. China has a brilliant civilization and very representative oriental knowledge. I am personally very obsessed with Chinese culture, and I am also actively learning Chinese, and I hope to go further and further on the road of learning Chinese culture in the future."
A few opening remarks won William the recognition of the students present. It is indeed very rare for a young royal family to have such an open-minded subjective consciousness and a mature mentality that is neither arrogant nor impetuous.
William added at this time: "When I came to China and the National People's Congress, I saw that young people in China, like young people in Europe, are greedily absorbing knowledge and investing in creating value. I am personally very moved, and I am also very eager. Young people from our two countries can have more exchanges in this field, so I have been communicating with British universities, hoping to promote such cooperation and exchanges."
“Here, I want to share good news with you. At present, the top ten universities in the UK have all passed the proposal to ‘expand the scale of international student exchanges with Hua Xia University’. In the future, these ten UK universities will We will jointly add more than a thousand exchange student places with Chinese universities every year, so that our younger generation can get to know each other better, and we also hope that students from our respective countries can carry forward the culture of the other country!"
