The most time-consuming delivery link is delivered to the community by drone, and then the food delivery person delivers the food upstairs.
The cost of food delivery is greatly reduced, and the efficiency of food delivery can also be greatly improved.
After users place an order, the delivery time can be shortened by more than half. In some stores with fast food delivery, it can even be shortened by 80%. There is no need to worry about getting cold in winter.
Not only will the delivery boy not be unemployed, his job will also become easier and safer.
Whether you are packing meals at a hotel or delivering meals upstairs within the last mile of your community, there is no danger.
It is much safer than riding a bicycle at high speed on the road and weaving left and right in the traffic.
In the future, when Xingyi Technology's drones are produced, this idea can be fully realized.
While greatly improving efficiency and reducing costs, it also increases the happiness index of the delivery boys.
Technology should make life better, not squeeze people's living space.
This is Wang Yi’s consistent purpose.
Including the future AutoNavi driverless taxis, until the survival problem of AutoNavi drivers cannot be solved well, Wang Yi has the technology and will not blindly promote it and make AutoNavi drivers lose their jobs.
On the contrary, we will adopt some methods that have the best of both worlds to achieve a win-win situation.
For example, let the experienced taxi driver of Amap purchase Xingyi Technology's self-driving taxi as a shareholding, and both parties will share 55% of the subsequent profits.
In this way, the cost of Xingyi Technology can be reduced, and AutoNavi drivers can also have a stable income after sleeping, without having to travel online for ride-hailing every day.
Whether it's finding another job to earn a second amount of money, or just lying back and enjoying it, it's much better than before.
But Wang Yi knows that ten years from now, online ride-hailing will not be easy to operate, and income will not be as high as it is now.
Many cities run around without saying a word.
For example, in Jeju in the previous life, with the subway connecting directly to the airport, all online car-hailing, taxi and order orders near the airport have dropped by 90%.
The subway, which costs a few yuan or more than a dozen yuan, is the same as online ride-hailing or taxis, which cost tens or two hundred yuan. The commute time is about the same. Most people will choose the subway.
Especially during peak hours, the subway is faster than online ride-hailing.
Even if the subway is not directly accessible, you will choose to take the subway first, then ride-hailing or public transportation.
It can be said that the future of online ride-hailing is getting worse year by year.
Even if there are no self-driving taxis, it will only become increasingly difficult to make a living by running online ride-hailing services.
Instead of doing this, it is better to buy an AutoNavi driverless taxi, have an after-sleep income, and find another job.
It's much better than walking around on the street every day and not making much money.
And in order to prevent Xingyi driverless taxis from being bought out by capital and ordinary drivers remaining unemployed, Wang Yi will impose restrictions:
Xingyi driverless taxi will not be sold to capital!
Don’t sell to the rich!
Not even sold directly!
Only sold to experienced drivers who have worked in AutoNavi for many years!
Based on the comprehensive evaluation of the order volume of AutoNavi taxis, working hours, age, economic status, etc., the experienced AutoNavi driver who has traveled the most hours will be given priority in purchasing, and so on.
In the future, self-driving companies such as Baidu will promote self-driving taxis, food delivery companies such as Meituan will promote drone delivery, and JD.com and SF Express will also promote unmanned express delivery vehicles... It can be said that this is the general trend.
If Wang Yi doesn't follow suit, the cost will be higher and the price will be more expensive. He will only be abandoned by users and will go bankrupt.
But Wang Yi will not eat human blood steamed buns like other giants.
Instead, we will use a win-win cooperation approach to provide better development for Amap’s ride-hailing drivers and Ele.me food delivery riders.
In addition, Wang Yi’s other consideration for making a drone is also preparing for the worst.
With the rapid rise of Xingyi Technology, Lao Mi will definitely jump to the wall and do anything.
If the Sword of Damocles falls, Wang Yi will dare to flip the table and transform into aerospace and military industries!
The other party was worried that Xingyi Technology was a threat in the field of science and technology, so they completely blocked it.
There is no other way, Wang Yi can only engage in military industry and aerospace to fight back.
Twin-tailed Scorpion drones, hive drone swarms, unmanned airships, and unmanned ships can all be planned and built in advance with the strength and financial resources of Xingyi Technology.
The threat will only be greater!
The next step in building Xingyi Automobile and autonomous driving is to accumulate experience.
You know, all automobile giants can quickly transform into military industry giants during special times!
The structure of a tank is not more difficult than that of a new energy vehicle, but the materials used are more special.
In fact, almost all the world's automobile giants can transform themselves into producing tanks and combat vehicles during special periods.
Similarly, those fireworks factories can also transform into ammunition production during special periods...
Of course, some bloggers may point to the efficiency of polar bears in producing tanks in the last century and say that tanks are so difficult to produce that car companies can’t even build them...
This is all nonsense.
What was the level of industry in the last century and what is the level of industry now.
Moreover, our production efficiency and industrial production capacity are ten times or even dozens of times that of polar bears!
If we want to create a cutting-edge product like White Swan, there are indeed some technical difficulties that need to be overcome.
But the tank is not a white swan. The technical content of the two is completely different. Nezha can build it without BYD.
Under extreme circumstances, switching to military industry is also a kind of check and balance, or Wang Yi's trump card.
When the Sword of Damocles was fully slashed, Xingyi Technology's internationalization instantly succumbed and struggled.
Then Wang Yi directly launched cutting-edge drones and sold them to certain forces in need.
Although it is a civilian drone, it has powerful performance. If it is used on the battlefield, there is nothing you can do about it.
Reversing the tide of the war and changing the situation were all accidents.
A drone worth 3,000 yuan can easily destroy a tank worth 60 million yuan!
A battle loss of 1:20,000!
Completely changing the current battlefield model has nothing to do with Wang Yi.
By then, everyone will probably be confused.
If you put away the Sword of Damocles, that's all.
If we continue to strike hard, we will slash at Xingyi Technology.
Then Wang Yi will make a comprehensive transformation, all in military industry and aerospace.
Relying on the UAV R&D strength and foundation of Xingyi Technology, large-scale hive UAV groups are also integrated.
When a large hive drone swarm is dispatched collectively, and the number is large enough, the aircraft carrier will have to stay away.
Even Musk’s Starlink was built in advance.
Not to mention its usefulness, let’s take advantage of the orbital resources first!
As for bowing to the other party and begging for peace and swallowing his anger, that is impossible.
Wang Yi has a tough life, he can't learn to bend, he can only fight to the end!
The basis of all this is to make a drone first!
Action is worse than a heartbeat.
Wang Yi spent two days planning this matter in detail, and directly held a high-level meeting on the third day!
"In the past few years, we have established many business divisions, all of which have achieved good results and even great success. In particular, the mobile phone business division has ranked first in the country and among the top three in the world."
Last year, the sales volume of Xingyi mobile phones narrowly surpassed that of Apple, ranking third in the world after Samsung and Nokia.
Without others, Apple only released one flagship mobile phone last year, while Xingyi Mobile released two new flagships, xphone 1pro and xphone 2. There is also an ultra-low-priced xphone 1, priced at less than 3,000, which is hot-selling.
The three mobile phones crushed the two generations of Apple flagships, causing Apple's sales to decline. The Xingyi phone slightly surpassed Apple.
This year, with the release of Unbounded mobile phones and the decline of Nokia, Xingyi mobile phones are expected to go further.
But whether it can surpass Nokia is hard to say.
After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Nokia sold a total of 300 million units last year.
There is still hope for sales of around 200 million this year.
Wang Yi continued: "The Changchao Business Department has more than 500 million users and ranks first in the country."
"Even the game division has achieved good results and has a large number of hit games."
“Ele.me Business Unit and AutoNavi Business Unit also performed extremely well.”
"But it's not enough."
"This year, we will launch a new business unit."
"One of them is the UAV Division!"
"Next, we will invest heavily in developing drones!"
"Our goal is to become the first in the industry and the world!"
Regarding drones, Wang Yi's view is very clear: either don't do it, or be the first in the industry if you do it.
In fact, Wang Yi admires Rebus' business sense.
Rebus is also very optimistic about drones. He began to develop drones in 2014, announced the appearance patent in 2015, and released the first Xiaomi drone in 2016.
Although it failed, his business sense is still very strong.
The same was true for MiLiao in the previous life. Although it lost to WeChat, it started earlier and also had a very keen business sense.
There is also the earlier Joyo.com e-commerce, which started in 2000, three years earlier than Taobao!
This business sense is simply terrible.
But unfortunately, Rebus sold Joyo to Amazon.
Later, when he saw Jack Ma becoming the richest man with the help of Taobao, Rebus felt so regretful that his intestines turned green.
From Joyo.com to MiLiao to mobile phones to drones to smart homes...
In the previous life, Rebus accurately stepped on all the nodes, but unfortunately most of them failed or failed.
Fortunately, Xiaomi mobile phones and Mijia smart home have achieved great success.
But this time, it was difficult for Rebus.
Changchat, Xingyi Mobile, and Xingyi Smart Home launched attacks one after another, making Rebus even more difficult to deal with.
Nowadays, even drones are being made, so there is no need to start with Xiaomi’s drones.
Wang Yi continued: "Whether it is Xingyi Logistics or Ele.me takeaway, drones will be needed in the future."
"More than ten years later, the low-altitude economy is the new trend!"
More than ten years later, the economic situation is far less prosperous than it is now.
Internet winter, financial bubble, real estate industry is cold...
Even sneakers and Bubble Mart are no longer being sold.
Those shoe speculators, looking at the "high-priced shoes" that have been hoarded in a room, can't find a buyer, and no one wants them even if they are broken, they really want to cry without tears.
Even the price of Moutai has dropped.
Under this situation, there is an urgent need to open new outlets and revive the economy.
Wang Yi feels that the low-level economy is a good start and also a blank market.
Especially as drones show their prowess on the battlefield and kill all directions, they can also exert huge advantages in the civilian field.
But everyone at the scene was skeptical, and some even said:
"Chairman, is it realistic for Xingyi Logistics to use drones for delivery?"
"Yeah, isn't it a bit far away?"
Everyone spoke one after another.
Wang Yi doesn't mind this because of the limitations of the times.
In 2013, Wang Yi never imagined that drones would be so powerful that they could instantly kill tanks in a few years.
Wang Yi never imagined that the BMW X5, currently priced at one million, would drop to five or six hundred thousand in ten years.
Unexpectedly, Maserati, which is now revered around the world, would see an 84% decline in domestic sales ten years later, with monthly sales of only 38 vehicles, and its auto show booths had to go to corners...
Not to mention that domestic new energy, capable BBA and other foreign brands have retreated.
All I can say is that the changes in the next ten years will be too rapid and too disruptive.
However, subordinates did not understand these, so Wang Yi could only slowly expand the thinking and vision of the senior leaders:
"In the next ten years, there may not be many changes, not much progress abroad, or even a reversal of the times. But domestically, there will be rapid development and changes with each passing day."
"Drone delivery is not unthinkable, it is even essential."
"Let me give you a simple example. Everyone has been to Mount Tai."
Everyone nodded.
"So what are you using for delivery on Mount Tai?"
"Mountain picker!" A senior executive said:
"Their physical strength is so great. I didn't bring anything with me, and it was hard to climb Mount Taishan. They carried 100 kilograms of cargo and climbed to the top of Mount Taishan in five hours one way. Some people even climbed to the top twice in one day! I admire it so much.
I admire it!”
"Yes, compared to them, our physique is too poor."
Wang Yi nodded: "Yes, the transportation of goods in Taishan is done by mountain carriers, but what about ten years later? What about twenty years later?"
"As they get older and lose their physical strength, these mountain lifters will gradually quit. At that time, will the next generation of young people be expected to become mountain lifters? What do you think is the possibility of continuing to engage in this career?"
Hearing this, everyone spoke one after another:
"Times have changed. In the future, people born in the 1990s and 2000s will be asked to work as mountain laborers. I can't say that none of them will be able to do it, but there really won't be many jobs."
"That's right, parents love and care for them when they grow up, how can they be willing to let their children suffer like this?"
"No matter how incompetent my son is, I am raising him and I can't bear to have him do this hard work."
"The problem is that even if he wants to do it, he can't carry it. He's almost exhausted from climbing Mount Taishan with nothing. It's unrealistic for him to come back and recuperate for several days and then ask him to carry a hundred kilograms of cargo to climb Mount Taishan!"
"The younger generation can't handle it. Then we can use cable cars to transport goods!"
"Don't even think about cable cars. Taishan's cable cars are all used to transport passengers. There are strict restrictions and cannot be used to transport cargo. Once cargo is transported, it is easy to be overloaded, which will affect the life of the cable car. In case of an accident, it will be so high
, ranging from dozens of casualties to hundreds of casualties...Who can bear this responsibility?"
After hearing this, everyone stopped talking, this is inevitable.
As for building another ropeway system specifically for delivering goods, that is unrealistic and the cost is too high.
Wang Yi said calmly: "Then here's the problem! In the future, the older generation of mountain haulers will gradually withdraw, the new generation will not be able to carry the load, and the cable car will have to carry passengers. How will the goods be transported up the mountain? How will the garbage be transported down?"
Everyone was silent: "..."
Wang Yixiao said: "The only solution is drones!"
"Using a drone, you can carry 100 kilograms or even 200 kilograms at a time, which is equivalent to the load of two challenge workers. A round trip from Zhongtianmen to Chaoyang Cave only takes 5-10 minutes!"
"This is the power of technology and the power of drones! It is also the goal of our Xingyi drones!"
There was a round of applause at the scene, and everyone completely understood Wang Yi's intention.
Wang Yi continued: "Whether it is Xingyi Logistics or Ele.me takeaway, drones will be needed in the future and they need to be unmanned."
"Today, the Xingyi UAV Division was established and divided into five departments."
"The first department, the micro-UAV department, has an empty weight of less than 25 kilograms and a load capacity of less than 2 kilograms. It is mainly used for camera or toy-level applications."
"The second department, the light UAV department, has an empty weight of no more than 4 kilograms and a maximum take-off weight of no more than 7 kilograms. It is used for short-distance transportation, express delivery, food delivery, line inspection, maritime rescue, fire reconnaissance, etc.
."
"In the future, Xingyi Logistics' express delivery and Ele.me's takeout can all be delivered using this light drone."
"The third department, the small UAV department, has an empty weight of no more than 15 kilograms and a maximum take-off weight of no more than 25 kilograms. It can be used for inspection, detection, education, aerial photography, surveying, military, photogrammetry, etc."
"The fourth department, the medium-sized UAV department, has an empty weight of more than 15 kilograms and a maximum take-off weight of more than 25 kilograms but not more than 150 kilograms. Its main function is logistics transportation, such as cargo transportation in Taishan and Huangshan scenic spots. It can also be used for agricultural plant protection.
, spraying pesticides, and emergency rescue, etc.”
"The fifth department, large drones, has a maximum take-off weight of more than 150 kilograms!"
"For the time being, we will focus on these five departments."
"Jian Ziyan, from now on, we will immediately recruit relevant talents and enter the corresponding departments. Then based on the abilities and resumes of the recruited talents, we will select project managers. As for the five department directors, we will wait for which department has outstanding products.
out, and then be promoted to director. Ziyan, arrange the supervision and assessment work."
"yes!"
Wang Yi's meaning is very clear, all strength speaks for itself.
In order to prevent outsiders from managing insiders, Wang Yi did not transfer senior management from other departments and was parachuted into the drone division as the top leader.
There is no way, neither Wang Yi nor Zhu Changlin and others are familiar with the field of drones.
If you are really reluctant to be the leader, then you can only be an outsider managing an expert, and then it will be nothing more than that.
On the contrary, Wang Yi made up his mind to directly tap professional talents in the field of drones, such as Daniel and Mavericks. After assessment, they served as project managers of various departments.
At the same time, an assessment and evaluation department is established. As long as the submitted project is promising and meets the needs of Xingyi Technology, funds will be invested in research and development.
As long as the research and development results are achieved, the project manager can be promoted from project manager to department director or even department director based on the size of the results and market performance!
If the output is too outstanding, become the leader of the UAV Division!
Of course, if you can directly recruit an industry expert to directly serve as the head of the drone business department, that's fine too.
It's just that it's more difficult.
Even DJI only launched a small drone, the DJI Phantom 1, last year.
To put it bluntly, DJI is still a fledgling company, let alone other companies.
At present, the entire drone industry is in the pioneering stage.
DJI doesn’t have much technology accumulation either.
Therefore, Wang Yi gave up investing in DJI and chose to make his own Xingyi drone!
After the meeting, everyone left, but Jian Ziyan stayed until the end:
"Chairman, I have a worry. In the future, if Ele.me and Xingyi Logistics will use drones to deliver food, wouldn't both the delivery people and couriers be unemployed?"
Wang Yi waved his hand: "What we want to do is not to use drones to replace takeaways and couriers, but to cooperate and achieve win-win results. Many takeout orders are still delivered manually."
"Some orders will be delivered by drones, and those takeaways and couriers will become packers, responsible for packing the packaging machines. And residential communities will become the last-mile delivery staff to deliver goods upstairs."
"Our drone delivery will start from large shopping malls, commercial streets and large communities and open dedicated lines."
"After the user places an order, the system will group several orders from the same community, the same shopping mall or the same commercial street together."
"After the merchant delivers the meal, the delivery man stationed in the mall receives the logistics order, goes to each store to pick up the meal, and then loads it into the drone. By scanning the code, the drone identifies the information and automatically flies to the dining cabinet in the target community.
Or the square.”
"The delivery guys stationed in the community scan the code to pick up the meals and deliver the meals one by one to your door."
"In the early stage, some pilots may be required to control the drone, familiarize themselves with the route, and accumulate data. In the later stage, all pilots will fly automatically."
Jian Ziyan's eyes lit up: "I see, this can greatly improve efficiency and make users like it more. If it is delivered to the takeaway cabinet downstairs, and you have to go downstairs to pick up the food, I'm afraid many users won't like it."
Wang Yi nodded: "Yes, as long as you are willing to go downstairs to get food, you will not order takeout. You can eat at nearby stores."
Whether it's takeout or express delivery, customers like it to be delivered to their door.
If you put it in Cainiao Station or takeout cabinet, users will want to scold you.
After all, the courier and delivery fees have been spent, and yet it’s not delivered to your door, but you still have to go downstairs. Isn’t this a lie?
For this reason, Wang Yi gave up the model of air-dropping food cabinets from drones and chose delivery workers to station in the community and deliver meals upstairs.
Perhaps the cost is higher, requiring one food delivery person stationed in the community and one food delivery person stationed in the business district, which requires the wages of two more people.
But there are also advantages, that is, the delivery workers can still have work and make money, and the happiness index and safety index have been greatly improved, so that they will not be completely replaced by drones and become completely unemployed.
In addition, in this model, one person is dedicated to picking up the food and loading it, and one person is dedicated to collecting the food and delivering it upstairs. It is completely possible to deliver multiple orders at once!
If there is only one order for a community, orders from several nearby communities can also be delivered together.
As for the airdrop delivery locker model, only one meal can be delivered at a time, and the customer has to go downstairs to pick up the meal.
In this regard, it is not as competitive as Wang Yi's door-to-door food delivery model.
Young people these days would rather spend an extra two yuan on delivery fees than go downstairs to pick up food.
Wang Yi's model, which delivers multiple orders at once, is more efficient and profitable.
Even if the wages of the two delivery workers are deducted, greater profits can be achieved.
Deliveries will not be made unemployed, and there will not be much resistance when implemented.
It’s not like Baidu’s Carrot Auto, which was scolded so badly even before it was promoted on a large scale...
"As for the research and development of drones, Beihang University should have a lot of relevant talents. Ziyan, you go and dig them up. It's best to dig up some big names."
"Okay, Chairman." Jian Ziyan responded.
Wang Yi understands that the development of drones can only be done slowly.
Recruitment of manpower has just started now, and it will take several months to set up.
If there is any output, it will have to be by the end of next year, or even the year after!
There is nothing we can do about this.
Wang Yi didn't want the Xingyi drone, which, like the Xiaomi drone, landed very quickly as soon as it took off, and was called a "explosion" by netizens.
Of course, Xiaomi said it was due to insufficient battery and it automatically landed, not a "flash".
But what exactly happened is hard to say.
But later on, free motor replacement and maintenance services were provided to crowdfunding users... This must be a quality problem.
Soon, Xiaomi drones were taken off the shelves.
Wang Yi couldn't accept this kind of thing.
The Xingyi drone must be stable. If it is not powerful enough, it cannot be branded by Xingyi Technology. At most, it can be branded by Wujie Technology.
If it is relatively bad, then the brand of Wujie Technology cannot be hanged, and it will be directly destroyed, and the entire R&D team will be N+1!
Leave no one behind, open them all!
At Xingyi Technology, Wang Yi will provide sufficient research and development expenses and adequate remuneration.
But if you spend money and get a high salary but produce no output, then you are useless!
Chapter completed!
