Chapter 1243 Drones Are on Fire!
Shenzhen.
In a building in the Science and Technology Industrial Park.
A man wearing gold-rimmed glasses slammed the report on the table and yelled at his secretary.
"Hundreds of millions of orders! Just earned a million liquidated damages! What happened, I didn't know until now. Now, I order you to check for me immediately, who stole our order ! I want you to put the information of the competitor company on my desk within three minutes!"
This is the headquarters of Shinco Zhizao, and the middle-aged man who lost his temper is Guan Chaowu, the chairman and CEO of this company.
As a high-tech enterprise mainly engaged in the development of logistics drones and intelligent software, they received a drone order worth 110 million RMB from Shunfeng Group just two months ago.
The value of this order is almost higher than their total turnover for the whole of last year.
When he got the order, Guan Chaowu was so excited that he didn't fall asleep for several days, and woke up laughing in the middle of the night almost every night. However, now, the company's department in charge of docking with Shunfeng Group received news that Shunfeng Group chose to pay liquidated damages and canceled the 110 million RMB order.
This feeling of falling from the clouds made him almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
On the surface, what they lost was only an order of 110 million yuan, and they even received a large amount of liquidated damages, but in fact their losses were far more than this.
What they lost was the opportunity of Shunfeng Group to promote the drone delivery model, and it was a huge market with a scale of more than 10 billion!
The reprimanded air did not dare to take a breath, and the secretary spoke tremblingly.
"boss……"
Guan Chaowu roared angrily.
"Didn't you hear me?"
"No, what I mean is, there's no need to check this at all," the secretary whispered with a bitter expression on his face, "The boss of Shunfeng Group just went to Jinling a few days ago. Immediately changed his mind and even convinced the board."
"There is no doubt that the one who stole our order can only be one company..."
The secretary didn't say which company this company was, but Guan Chaowu reacted in an instant, and his face turned green and pale in an instant.
"Xingkong Technology...they still have drone business?"
"This... I really don't know. But it seems that Shunfeng Group has outsourced the construction of the entire intelligent logistics network to them."
"Outsource the entire smart logistics network to them? Is Wang Wei crazy?!"
Venting all his disbelief in this roar, Guan Chaowu looked at the secretary standing in front of him who dared not take a breath, a sense of bitterness and frustration rose from his heart.
Star Technology...
If it is another company, he may have other ideas, to see if he can retain Shunfeng Group, a major customer, and snatch this order from competitors.
However, after hearing that it was Xingkong Technology that took away their orders, he didn't even have the courage to compete on the same stage, so he directly dismissed the idea.
Think about it, too. After all, even big international companies like Tesla and Mobil, even with the U.S. Department of Commerce side by side, lost in front of Xingkong Technology.
Not to mention their "small company" that has only been up for a few years.
I'm afraid that when people hear their names, they may not be able to figure out what happened.
Just like an elephant trampled to death an ant when crossing the road, if you ask the elephant what it thinks, it must be dumbfounded...
...
Guan Chaowu really guessed right, just as he guessed, Lu Zhou didn't know at all, just because he pretended to be aggressive in front of a certain person, the result made that person have a series of strange associations, and finally even snatched Received a large order from a listed company with a market potential exceeding 10 billion.
But having said that, he deserves to be a boss worth tens of billions. Although many things are imagined by Wang Wei himself, it is very interesting that many of them are not completely out of reality.
For example, the brain hole of directly connecting the production process with customers is actually what Lu Zhou and the top leader of the Science and Industry Bureau - the old man Li, talked about while drinking tea.
The biggest difference between the future industry and the past industry is probably the role played.
Although there may be some deviations in the details of the specific implementation, it is basically the same.
Not long after Xingkong Technology and Shunfeng Group reached a cooperation on the drone logistics project, a promotional video produced by Shunfeng Company was released on the Internet.
In the video, a drone with a unique shape takes off from a truck in the logistics center, wobbles past the Bullet Building, a landmark building in Shenzhen City, passes through the Penguin Pants Building, and flies over the streets of Zhongying Street , Across the mountains and rivers and the countryside, I put a letter from a migrant father in the hands of a child who stayed behind in the mountain village, warming the whole family.
After seeing this promotional video, it immediately caused a lot of repercussions on the Internet.
What aroused heated discussion among netizens was not only the humanistic feelings and public welfare ideas reflected in the short film, but also the unique drone that flew across all corners of the country.
"What do you mean, is Shunfeng going to switch to drones?"
"Is this a drone ad or a courier ad?"
"Wait, look at the last scene, isn't the logo on the drone hive the trademark of Xingkong Technology?"
"Starry Sky Technology again? Why are they everywhere?"
"What a fortress! I was only shown by the holographic technology of Xingkong Technology some time ago. I didn't expect to be shown by them again in just a few days!"
"Don't say anything, I just want to say one thing now, Professor Lu is awesome!"
The vast majority of netizens only had an eye addiction in the promotional video.
In contrast, the residents of Shenzhen City are more fortunate.
Especially the residents in the pilot area, many people have already caught up with the trend of the times, and experienced the convenience brought by drone delivery before the people of the whole country.
In the future, there will be no need for express cabinets anymore. As long as the window is opened at the scheduled time, the drone will place the express on the windowsill or balcony by itself.
The route of the UAV is completely calculated by the quantum supercomputing service of Xingkong Technology. As long as there is a signal, there is no need to worry about the courier getting lost.
Even if the signal is lost in an unexpected situation, it doesn’t matter. The drone will continue to sail for a certain distance according to the route data that has been previously transmitted to the cache until the signal is reconnected, and then updated to the route adjusted by real-time calculation technology.
When operating in urban areas, the vast majority of drones sail on the roof of buildings, avoiding streets with dense traffic, and adjust the delivery time to working hours and late night when there is less traffic.
At present, Shunfeng Group has cooperated with Xingkong Technology to develop a shelf that can be installed outside the balcony, similar to the air conditioner bracket, for the docking of drones and the placement of express delivery.
After all, not all users are willing to fly drones into their homes.
Being able to complete the delivery of express delivery outside the living area, on the one hand, it can take care of the user's privacy, and on the other hand, it can avoid many unnecessary troubles.
The voices talking about Shunfeng's "smart logistics network" are not only happening on the intranet, similar discussions can also be seen on Twitter and YouTube.
For example, a well-known YouTuber named Yurif Jack, who has lived in China for many years, made a special video program for this and expressed his views on this matter.
"I saw a lot of skeptical voices on Twitter. Many friends in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe believe that such a convenient technology cannot appear in China. They do not respect intellectual property rights at all, nor do they There is no willingness to make changes at all, and it is impossible to have such an avant-garde high-tech company.”
"I even saw a YouTuber say that when a new technology appears in Huaguo, they will attack it on the Internet, and even say that it is better not to have such a new technology. They are all pulled by their feet, for fear of affecting the 'job' of bus drivers. Unless it appears in the United States or Europe, they will praise it and think that this is what it should look like in the future."
"In fact, this is a great prejudice and misunderstanding. It does not exclude a few people with abnormal brains, but the vast majority of people are still open-minded and optimistic about the future."
"I live in Shenzhen now, and I have lived here for almost two years. And just yesterday, in order to verify that they really mastered this magical drone delivery technology, I emptied my shopping cart in advance ...then that day, I saw those cute little guys parked on my windowsill."
As he said that, Yurifu pointed the camera at the express boxes on the window sill, then continued to turn the camera back, and shrugged his shoulders at the camera.
"I know, you will definitely think I'm lying, or you can't believe it, but it's okay, because I can understand your feelings. If you live on the streets of New York, maybe this year and last year will not have any Change. Whether it’s the house, the car or the neighbors, it’s the same as it was last year.”
"But if you live in Shanghai, or Shanghai, or Shenzhen, you will find that the whole city is changing at a speed visible to the naked eye."
"The delivery of express delivery by drone is just the tip of the iceberg. For a crooked nut like me who has lived in China for many years, it is not surprising at all. There is nothing to make a fuss about. In contrast, there are more worthy of our attention things."
"For example, they are going to hold a National Day celebration soon."
In the video, Yurif waved the red invitation letter in his hand as if showing off, and closed his mouth in excitement.
"Fortunately, I received an invitation letter from them... As an international friend, I went to their bird's nest to watch their National Day celebration."
"If there is no accident, in the next updated video, I will share with you what I saw there."
"I bet this is definitely more surprising and eye-popping than drone delivery!"
