Chapter 241: Shocked Zhu Mingxu
Xinsong Robot is currently the largest robot manufacturer in China.
In the world's top ten robot manufacturers, barely as a crane tail.
The main product advertised by Xinsong is "industrial robots".
However, their core product is an integrated system.
The fist product is AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle), which is equipped with electromagnetic or optical automatic guidance devices, can drive along the specified guidance path, and has safety protection and various transfer functions of the transport vehicle.
It's a type of integrated system.
However, there are no technical barriers to this thing, and manufacturers who make forklifts are doing it.
And the main profit of the salary... Well, non-operating income is greater than profit, that is, if the government does not subsidize, it will lose money.
Their annual profit in previous years was about 5%, and the state subsidized 20%, in other words, the annual loss was about 15% if they didn't subsidize.
Of course, this can't be entirely blamed on the salarysong robots.
Xinsong's fist product AGV can enter the international market, which shows that it is still working very hard, but it is restricted by the inability to purchase core components at the right price, resulting in high costs.
In addition, the core technology of reducer and servo machine has not been able to break through, resulting in industrial robots are also subject to people and have not been able to develop.
Some people may ask, in that case, why doesn't Xinsong go to those money-making robots?
Like service robots, special robots, agricultural robots, equipment terminal robots, etc.
Because the core technology of those money-making robots has also been mastered by foreign companies, most of the profits earned by enterprises have to be handed over to foreign companies.
The business itself is just making hard-earned money.
Xinsong Robotics saw this, so it did not give up its fundamentals for short-term interests like some other companies, but has been immersed in researching technology.
Just like so many companies made copycat mobile phones back then, and in the end they all died, only the Huawei family insisted on researching technology, and in the end, the Jedi fought back!
Of course, the state also knows this, so even if it keeps losing money, it continues to spend money on research!
Having said that, it is very difficult and difficult for the domestic industrial sector to make money.
Take a mobile phone as an example, the hardware part includes a display, an application processor, dynamic random access memory, baseband, RF transceiver and front-end module, battery, touch screen, etc., more than 20 parts.
In addition, there are various patented technologies such as WiFi, cellular baseband chips, operating systems, H.264/H.265 (digital video compression format), Bluetooth, wireless charging, etc.
Why are domestic mobile phones getting more and more expensive?
In fact, the profits of the enterprise itself have not increased much, and the big bosses have paid patent fees.
Can I not pay royalties?
OK!
Your mobile phone is sold in China, and if you want to sell it abroad, you must make up all the patent fees, otherwise you will be punished to death, just like Xiao Mi!
Large companies like Warwick can cross-license patents with other companies and reduce some patent fees.
Because of this, Huawei is determined to engage in baseband, system, and chips, and the country also spends money on New Oriental!
The example of mobile phones can also be applied to robots in reverse, and domestic robots can't go abroad.
Because the patented technology is basically all foreign, how do you do it?
……
In the VIP room, Su Zhengxiang, general manager of VisionNav Robotics, and Zhu Mingxu, senior technical president of Xinsong Robotics Co., Ltd., gave a detailed introduction.
"At present, we have developed a total of 1,173 sets of core systems, which involve industrial robots, service robots, cleaning robots, medical robots, intelligent logistics equipment, intelligent transportation equipment, etc.;
And ......"
Zhu Mingxu listened quietly, occasionally asking a few questions.
As he deepened his understanding, Zhu Mingxu became more and more surprised in his heart.
In fact, he has long heard about the name of VisionNav Robotics, and he has dealt with both sides at this year's China Shipping Industry Expo last year.
However, the fist products exhibited by VisionNav Robotics before are various core systems, which have overlapped with Xinsong's products.
How does this work?
You can't stop years of research and directly adopt the technology of VisionNav Robotics, right?
That's not.
And then there has been a lot of internal squabbles.
With the growing reputation of VisionNav Robotics products in the industry, Xinsong finally put the question of whether to abandon the technology developed for many years and adopt VisionNav Robotics on the table.
After a discussion and vote within the company, this visit was finally held.
There were more than 30 people here, most of whom were experts.
After Su Zhengxiang introduced the control system, Zhu Mingxu proposed to take a look at their products.
Of course, Su Zhengxiang couldn't ask for it.
Xinsong has developed in the field of robotics for so many years, both at home and abroad, its influence is very deep, coupled with the background of state-owned assets, its strength should not be underestimated.
The cooperation between the two sides is a real combination of two swords!
Soon came to the product exhibition room.
The technicians of VisionNav Robotics gave a demonstration to the leaders and experts of Xinsong Robotics.
"This is the HX-0021 service robot, and its main functions include......
The algorithm system, reducer, servo motor, encoder and other core technologies in it are all exclusively developed by our company, which contains 176 core patents. ”
The introduction of the technician and the performance of the robot immediately amazed the experts of Xinsong, and they came forward to study the robot.
Zhu Mingxu also looked at the strangely shaped robot in front of him with an amazed look.
The crawler service robot in front of me is not as cute as the common robots on the market, but looks cool.
It is 1.5 meters tall, dark blue in appearance, like a deep ocean, and its two anthropomorphic eyes emit a faint fluorescent color, full of mystery.
In addition, the head and face are the largest anthropomorphism, and they are simply vivid, very handsome and realistic.
To be honest, Zhu Mingxu has never seen any server robot done so beautifully.
Looking at the delicate contours of its face, it is 100% using 3D printing technology.
And it has to be the most advanced printing technology in foreign countries.
Which country?
If nothing else, it should be the United States!
Thinking of this, Zhu Mingxu was a little disappointed.
I didn't expect to come over with all the hard work, and what I saw was still foreign technology, and the blood that had just begun to burn instantly seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water, and it quickly cooled down.
Zhu Mingxu removed the smile on his face and asked casually: "Is your robot quite beautiful in appearance, which company designed and produced it?"
Su Zhengxiang said with a smile: "It's all designed and produced by our company." ”
Zhu Mingxu was stunned when he heard this, and then asked: "Can you buy a 3D printer of this level that you produce yourself?"
Su Zhengxiang smiled even more happily, Zhu Mingxu is a real insider, and he asked the idea in one sentence, and few of the representatives of the manufacturers who came to see it thought of this.
"Don't hide it from Mr. Zhu, you said that 3D printers are also produced by our company. ”
"What, what?, what is produced by your company?" Zhu Mingxu was really taken aback when he heard this, and then asked anxiously with a hint of expectation but disbelief: "Then, the core components and printing materials should be imported from abroad, right?"
Looking at the surprised expression on Zhu Mingxu's face, Su Zhengxiang couldn't help laughing, "Mr. Zhu, have you forgotten that our company produces biological corneas?"
Of course, Zhu Mingxu knew that he was wearing glasses, and he went for biological corneal implantation at the strong request of his son last month.
At that time, after the implantation, it was really amazing!
But what does this have to do with printers?
"Of course I know about the biological cornea, because I was myopic before, but what Mr. Su meant was ......"
"Hehe~" Su Zhengxiang smiled, looking at Zhu Mingxu's appearance, he probably didn't know which company invented the biological cornea until now.
"Mr. Zhu, do you know that the biological cornea was invented by Xinghai Technology?"
However, Zhu Mingxu said: "I know this, my son told me." ”
"In that case, do you know Mr. Zhu, what is the biological cornea made of?"
"What?"
"3D bioprinter! The printer was imported before, and later our company developed its own bioprinter;
The other is the material for making biological cornea, which is a special biological material, which was also invented by our company, and has applied for international patents!"
Zhu Mingxu is not a fool, everyone has said this, why doesn't he understand what it means?
gave a thumbs up and said convincingly: "Mr. Su, your company is this!"
