Chapter 372 Automatic Parking Lot
In the afternoon, accompanied by Deputy Mayor Zheng Kefeng and Municipal Government Secretary-General Zhao Gang, Chen Yuxing visited several new three-dimensional parking lots under construction. The first thing they went to was the construction site of the first parking lot to be put into construction outside the Municipal Government Service Hall.
The parking lot is located on a commercial planning land about 100 meters away from the administrative approval hall. This was originally the location of the ground parking lot of the Sheraton Hotel under construction. The municipal government and Sheraton Group communicated with each other. They agreed to jointly build a commercial parking building here with the municipal government. The Sheraton Group invested in this land and occupied 100 parking spaces. The municipal government, as the investment entity, bears most of the construction costs.
This commercial parking building uses the latest technology provided by Starry Sky Group, fully automatic computer operation. The driver can independently complete the storage and pick-up of cars at ten parking entrances. The storage and withdrawal time of each car does not exceed 20 seconds. Each car occupies less than ten cubic meters of space in the parking building. This 15-meter-high parking building with an area of less than 5,000 square meters has reached seven floors, and the maximum capacity can reach 3,000 vehicles.
Zheng Kefeng said with emotion when introducing this parking building technology:
"Mayor, I'm not flattering you. Starry Sky Group's technology is the world's leading. I have visited their parking lots in many developed countries and visited their so-called parking towers. Before I learned about Starry Sky Group's technology, I was envious of their advanced technology and design concepts. However, now I think their technology is not only not amazing, but also in the words of young people.
Mayor, your family has found so many technical madmen from there, and every technological achievement of theirs is well-known. It is the most advanced in the world when you get it."
Chen Yuxing laughed loudly, and Zhao Gang also showed a meaningful smile. Just over a month ago, the deputy mayors of the municipal government were disdainful of the young mayor who had just arrived, and even said wildly that he would leave with his tail between his legs. Now these deputy mayors want to put their hot and hot faces on the buttocks of the young mayor. It can be seen that things in the world are changing, one at a time and another.
"Old Zheng, aren't you flattering? Why do I feel dizzy? But what you are talking about is the truth. Starry Sky Group has gathered the top scientists and researchers from all walks of life in the world. There are many technologies that they have been studying for many years. Starry Sky Group bought them as a technical reserve. The technologies they have in their hands can be said to be diverse, with all kinds of them, and many of them represent the world's most advanced scientific and technological level.
Therefore, if you encounter any difficulties in the process of municipal construction in the future, you can go directly to Starry Sky Group for help, but don’t use the purpose of catching autumn wind, and do everything according to the laws of the market economy. After all, their technology is not in vain, it is all made of real money and silver.”
Zheng Kefeng smiled awkwardly. They hadn't done much like this before. Many enterprises and institutions had to bow their heads under the pressure of the city government.
"That's of course. It's always the mayor's request to act according to market rules and strive to be a service-oriented government. We have taken this as the basic principle of government work.
However, because this project is a benefit project that benefits the people, Starry Sky Group also wanted to use the first batch of parking lots to use this technology as a demonstration project, so it took the initiative to give us great discounts. The complete set of equipment for these automatic parking lots under construction gave us a cost price and the price was very low, so the investment in the entire project was not very large."
Chen Yuxing saw the budget report in his desk file pile at noon. So he knew that the construction cost of this parking building could be so low, not only the cheap equipment and supporting installation costs provided by Starry Sky Group, but also the land provided by Sheraton Hotel. There is also a very important reason here, that the entire project is operated in the sun, there are no inflated quotations in the entire budget, nor are there so-called rebates, benefits and other surcharges for individuals. Save these layers of skinning, the cost savings can be more than 10% or 20%, but a lot, and more can scare people.
The supervisors stationed at the project site of the municipal government and the project manager of the Starry Sky Group, who was responsible for equipment installation, hurried out from the construction site and came to Chen Yuxing and his five people standing outside the gate. After they greeted several leaders, they took them to visit the installation site of the entire set of equipment.
The installation site was in order, and workers were working in an orderly manner in braved the high temperature. The equipment and components of this automatic parking lot were modular. With the assistance of large cranes, the construction progress was extremely fast.
This building is built like a honeycomb, and a full-round rolling transmission device can accurately deliver the car to each honeycomb. The height and width of the honeycomb can be automatically mediated according to the size and height of each vehicle.
The entire set of equipment is controlled by a computer. Each time a parking space is generated, the computer will pay it a number. The owner of the car will access the vehicle on the computer according to this number.
Chen Yuxing and others had already walked around the construction site. While walking, he asked the project manager of Starry Sky Group who was following him about the working principle of the automatic parking lot, as well as the service life, maintenance issues, energy consumption, etc. Finally, he asked:
“Have you evaluated the parking fee? What is the estimated hourly parking fee?”
Zheng Kefeng is the general manager of the parking lot construction project. He quickly took the speech and said:
"We and Starry Sky Group have discussed this issue specifically. Xiao Wang is more professional. Let him introduce it to you in detail."
Xiao Wang is named Wang Jingdong, and he is the manager of the parking lot project of the Starry Sky Mechanical Engineering Company recently established by Starry Sky Group.
After Chen Hongsheng learned that the captain wanted to provide the municipal government with new large-capacity parking lot equipment, he specially asked Niu Niu to design this multi-layer honeycomb automatic storage and access parking lot equipment based on the actual situation of the earth. The technology is not very advanced in Chen Hongsheng's opinion, but the advantage is that he is very consistent with the actual situation of Fengjing City with many cars and few lands, and the maintenance and management costs are relatively low, and the area covers a small area.
In order to connect with the municipal government with a professional organization, Chen Hongsheng asked Chairman Chen Yu to set up a mechanical engineering company, and the registered business scope is to research, manufacture and sell various mechanical engineering equipment. The company is built in the Starry Sky Group Park, with a footprint of basically the same as that of the new energy company, and will also be a large manufacturing company.
The company's civil engineering projects have been fully started, and the construction speed is also very fast, and it will be put into use one after another in no time.
The several sets of automatic storage and access parking lot equipment provided to the municipal government this time are so-called laboratory manufacturing, not mass-produced equipment. Wang Jingdong is one of the biochemical people sent by Niu Niu to the mechanical engineering company.
"Mayor, take this parking lot as an example. Based on the total investment of the project and the land price, we combined the energy consumption, maintenance costs, management costs, equipment depreciation costs, etc. after equipment operation. We have comprehensively built a basic charging model, that is, each parking space in the parking lot is used on average for four hours a day, and each parking space is charged 2 yuan per hour, so that the parking lot can be maintained in a healthy operation, that is, the balance of revenue and expenditure is maintained.
If the parking lot usage rate exceeds four hours, profits can be generated. If the hourly charge per parking space is equivalent to the maximum charging standard for the ground parking lot, that is, each parking space is five yuan per hour, and the parking lot usage rate reaches 12 hours, all investment costs can be recovered in one year.
According to our assessment and forecast, the average usage rate of each parking space will not exceed eight hours. According to the requirements of the municipal government, the parking fee will be about 3 yuan per hour. If calculated at 3 yuan, the average usage rate per parking space will be 6 hours, and the investment cost will be recovered within five years, and the return on investment will be about 20%. If it is in an area where parking spaces are in urgent need of shortage, it can provide nearby residents with low night parking services, and the time for recovering all investment will not exceed three years. From this point of view, even commercial operations are a very good investment project."
Chen Yuxing was very excited. He did not expect that the technology provided by Chen Hongsheng could achieve such high economic benefits. He told Zheng Kefeng:
"Mayor Zheng, have you reviewed the evaluation of Starry Sky Group? We can also find some experts to conduct another evaluation. If the return on investment of this project is so high, our municipal government will not put it in its hands. It should allow enterprises to enter this industry, but do not let go. The maximum price limit should be set in the early stage. After the problem of parking difficulties is initially solved, the charging standards will be liberalized and the market will conduct independent mediation."
Chen Yuxing faces Wang Jingdong again:
"The construction of these pilot parking lots must be carried out quickly so that they can be put into use as soon as possible, and show their economic benefits and advanced technology to the high-sighted entrepreneurs, so that they can see the development prospects of this project.
Since your company is so confident in this project, it should actively promote it to the business community and allow more companies to participate in this project. This will not only help your company's product sales, but also quickly solve the problem of parking difficulties in our city, and even provide other cities in the country with reference to other reference-based experiences."
Everyone nodded and accepted it. Wang Jingdong told Mayor Chen that he would definitely bring his suggestions back to the company.
Chapter completed!
