Chapter 858: The Courier Industry of Great Changes
"Ladies and gentlemen, with the development of e-commerce. China's express delivery industry is also developing rapidly. Along with the increase in labor costs, the cost of the express delivery industry is also increasing. Therefore, unmanned is an inevitable trend......"
Zhang Fan's words were recognized by everyone. Unmanned is the future, and it's accelerating.
Especially in recent years, the domestic industry is undergoing changes. Although the cost of large-scale use of robots in factories will be high at first, it will save costs in general.
The industry will be transformed again, and there will be fewer and fewer labor-intensive industries in the future. Now unmanned supermarkets, unmanned ports, unmanned vehicles, unmanned couriers.
Unmanned is coming, but many people are not ready.
"If unmanned couriers are used on a large scale. There will be a lot of couriers who are going to lose their jobs. ”
Ma Baili couldn't help but sigh, and the others nodded. Yes, if it is really a large-scale use of unmanned couriers.
Then countless couriers in China will be forced to lose their jobs and change careers. For them, what can they do without a skill?
But looking back, they were unfounded. Because this is the inevitable way to go, what every company has been doing is not to maximize cost savings and increase profits?
"At present, this unmanned delivery robot can be put into use on a large scale. In addition to the essential job of delivering couriers, this robot has some additional features. For example, in the event of a fire, the robot can act as a rescue robot. On the road, you can also act as a guide, etc. ”
For this robot, the R&D personnel of Longteng Group also entered some additional functions internally. The purpose of these functions is to better serve everyone and assume social responsibility.
However, the main responsibility is to deliver the courier. After all, this is a delivery robot. And in the R&D center, there are other types of robots.
For example, professional security robots can replace the work of security guards. Professional firefighting robots, professional police robots and so on.
Depending on the role, the design and program of the robot are also different. However, these manufacturing techniques have been figured out.
Coming out of the unmanned scientific research center, everyone was shocked by the scientific research ability of Longteng Group.
Although they are like mountains, they have their own vision. Know what these technologies of Longteng Group represent.
This time, it is not only unmanned technology, but also robotics and artificial intelligence technology.
The industries involved in these technologies are all industries with great potential in the future. In the future, the express delivery industry may decline more and more, but these industries will definitely get better and better.
Even Ma Xunfei and Ma Baili couldn't help but sigh. sighed at Zhang Fan's courage, this kind of transformation is not easy.
In the case of Baili Group or iFLYTEK Group, they definitely do not have the courage or ability.
These things are all industries that are constantly burning money in the early stage. No one knows how much money Zhang Fan burned, but everyone knows that this number is definitely a very high number.
"Hey, the pace of Longteng Group, we are getting more and more unable to keep up. ”
Back at the hotel, Ma Baili couldn't help but say.
"Mr. Ma, what does Zhang Fan want to do? There is unmanned courier technology, why not use it alone?"
The assistant couldn't help but ask. If this technology is only used by the logistics express system of Longteng Group, then Longteng logistics system will definitely expand its market share again.
This is Zhang Fan's shrewdness. His vision is no longer in the express delivery industry. Can the express delivery industry make as much money as the robot industry? The large-scale use of Longteng Group's robots is equivalent to our express company working for him. The most important thing is to let the whole world know about the robot technology of Longteng Group through the large-scale promotion of unmanned couriers. I'm afraid that in the next step, Longteng Group will push service robots on a large scale. ”
Ma Baili's words made the assistant look surprised.
"It turns out that Zhang Fan is looking at the entire service industry ......"
The assistant swallowed, the current service industry is a terrifying scale. Since robots can be used as couriers, they can be cashiers, waiters, security guards, cleaners, and so on in the future.
At that time, Longteng Group will be able to become the world's most powerful company just by relying on robots.
Ambitious, Zhang Fan is ambitious. This year, artificial intelligence technology, robotics technology, high-precision map technology, unmanned driving technology and so on.
There have been quite a few breakthroughs in these technologies, so there are machine couriers.
As Ma Xunfei guessed, the robot courier is just the beginning, and Zhang Fan's goal is the entire service industry.
With the development of robotics, most of the service industries can be completed by robots.
Compared with this industry, Zhang Fan, a simple express delivery industry, is not in his eyes at all. And now the courier is just testing the waters.
Even if he doesn't make money, Zhang Fan will find a way to promote it on a large scale. Take the lead and determine the position of the leader in the service robot industry.
At the same time, these robots have sensors inside them that automatically collect data. After a large-scale rollout, this data is what is precious.
Only large-scale promotion can find the shortcomings. In order to continuously improve and upgrade.
Major express groups are holding emergency meetings and letting their teams calculate their gains and losses.
The quotation of Longteng Group has also come out, and the price of each basic express robot is only 100,000 yuan.
The service life of these robots is ten years, and the main parts are guaranteed for ten years. For example, batteries, motors, control motherboards, and other things.
And other shells or something, these are not covered by the warranty. At the same time, every once in a while, Longteng Group is responsible for free maintenance, as well as free software upgrades and so on.
At the same time, these robots, like cars, also support installment payments, and can be paid in installments of up to five years.
This price made the express companies move one by one. You must know that now in big cities, many couriers have a salary of more than 10,000 a month.
If the robot replaces the courier, the cost can be paid for itself in one year. Even if the efficiency is not as high as that of a courier, it is up to two years.
The remaining eight years were all earned in vain. For courier companies, the courier's share is a large part of their cost.
If this part of the cost can be saved, their profit will definitely rise by a very high profit.
Everyone will settle the account, and after the calculation, every courier company is moved. One by one, they are all rubbing their fists, ready to buy a batch first to try the efficiency if, although the price is not cheap, but it is okay to buy a little first and try it.
