Under the auspices of Li Zetian, Cainiao Network Company was formally established, with Li Zetian as chairman and Ma Yun as CEO of Cainiao Network.

In the entire logistics network, warehousing is the storage and management of goods, and it is the top priority! Li Zetian spent a huge amount of money to build a rookie network, so naturally he would not spend money on building traditional warehousing. The times are developing, and if we want to build it, we must build a modern warehouse! In Li Zetian's vision, the warehouse should be built into an "unmanned warehouse!!

Through artificial intelligence, deep learning, image intelligent recognition, big data applications and many other advanced technologies, industrial robots can make independent judgments and behaviors, adapt to different application scenarios, commodity types and forms, complete various complex tasks, and realize automation in commodity sorting, transportation, and delivery.

Amazon has built some unmanned warehouses in the United States, according to statistics, the storage efficiency of "unmanned warehouses" is more than 10 times that of traditional beam shelves, and the picking speed of parallel robots can reach 3600 times per hour, which is equivalent to 5 to 6 times that of traditional labor.

The "unmanned warehouse" can not help but save a lot of labor costs, and also greatly improve work efficiency! However, the initial investment is relatively large and the technical requirements are relatively high, but these two points are no problem for Li Zetian.

On the morning of November 30th, the weather was sunny and the quiet West Lake was beautiful.

Cainiao Network hosted a business summit at the Four Seasons Hotel in Hangzhou's West Lake, where manufacturers, online merchants, third-party service providers, Alibaba, SF Express, Three Links and One Reach, and many more courier companies, and even government officials, gathered.

At the beginning of the summit, Li Zetian was the first to take the stage, first made a speech at the summit, put forward the idea of "unmanned warehouse", and even slightly mentioned drones and unmanned vehicles, he said: "'Unmanned warehouse' is the development trend of modern warehousing, then I believe that one day, couriers may also be gradually replaced by drones and unmanned vehicles!! future, the warehousing deployment of the entire logistics line to the final end of the distribution, will be fully enabled intelligent equipment, from unmanned warehouses, Drones to unmanned vehicles will provide users with a more efficient and smooth shopping experience!!"

After speaking, the bigwigs who came to the summit all expressed their shock.

Li Zetian's words vividly depicted the future logistics scenes for them, which surprised them and broadened their horizons!

At present, the unmanned warehouse is enough to break the cow, and it is crazy to think of using unmanned aircraft or even unmanned vehicles to deliver goods!!

Of course, there are many people who question this, and they think that Li Zetian's idea is a bit whimsical, and he once thought that he was a combination of a madman and a genius!

"I can't believe that if it's really as chronosli said, then many logistics personnel will be unemployed in the future......"

"It's okay to say that unmanned warehouses are a bit unreliable for drone and unmanned vehicle delivery. ”

"Hehe, how complex the modern traffic road environment is, old drivers can't guarantee that they will be safe, let alone unmanned cars. If an unmanned car is driven on the road, there is no telling how many traffic accidents will occur......"

"Chronosli has a big heart, hehe, I really dare to think of anything!"

“……”

Some people are dismissive of Li Zetian's ideas, and naturally some people are full of curiosity and interest in Li Zetian's ideas.

After the summit, the content of the summit was reported by major media around the world.

Within a few days, the chairman of BMW contacted Li Zetian.

"Hello Chronosli, I'm Norbert Ressef, Chairman and CEO of BMW AG. ”

Li Zetian was slightly stunned, a little surprised, what did the chairman of BMW contact him for?

"Oh, hello, Mr. Norbert Resev!" Li Zetian paused and asked, "Excuse me, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Yes, Mrli. "A few days ago, your speech at the Hangzhou summit was very good, and it mentioned the unmanned car project, and BMW was very interested in it. ”

Li Zetian smiled bitterly: "I heard that many people do not agree with the unmanned car project, but your company is actually interested?"

"Haha, mrli, can I say that those people are blind?" Norbert Reseff laughed, then slapped himself on the back and said, "Who in the world doesn't know that Chronosli is a super genius and that there is a design project that didn't work out." Although the unmanned car project seems absurd, BMW believes that it is possible to realize it!!!

When Li Zetian heard this, he was stunned, and he said lightly: "Mr. Resself, I think you should know that I have a car company under my name......"

"Yes, of course I know, it's Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. However, mrli, I think you also know that BMW's technology is much more powerful than Rolls-Royce's motor car! If you want to develop unmanned cars, then cooperating with BMW will definitely be beneficial to both parties!" Norbert Resseff's tone softened, "MRLI, BMW and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars can jointly form an unmanned car company, what do you think?"

Li Zetian pondered at this time, he was thinking about BMW, one of the world's top automobile giants, why did he have to cooperate with him, suddenly, Li Zetian thought that unmanned cars need to use a lot of artificial intelligence technology, and artificial intelligence technology, Chronos Industrial Artificial Intelligence Laboratory is the leader. You must know that at present, almost the entire Internet is using the artificial intelligence technology of the Chronos Industrial Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, such as Microsoft Cortana, Apple Siri, Google Home, Baidu Dumi, etc.

The focus of unmanned vehicles is on "unmanned driving". Obviously, BMW makes unmanned cars on its own, and it will definitely not be able to win Li Zetian. But if it cooperates with Li Zetian, BMW can quickly enter the unmanned car market and become the first company to eat crabs. In the future, if BMW wants to make its own unmanned car brand, it will have a technical advantage and rich development experience over other car companies.

In addition, since Li Zetian proposed the unmanned vehicle delivery project, this means that after the unmanned vehicle is built, there will be a large number of orders.

Li Zetian quickly thought of this, he smiled and politely refused: "Mr. Norbert Reself, I need to think about this matter carefully!"

"No problem, mrli, what we have is time, you can call me anytime you think about it. ”

"Oh, okay. ”

After saying that, the two ended the call.

Li Zetian shook his head secretly, although the unmanned vehicle project has not yet been approved at this time, he has been doing technical reserve work. The unmanned vehicle project has great potential for development, and it would rather develop it alone than let BMW get a piece of the pie, unless BMW is willing to accept its own acquisition.

Unmanned cars caused a stir in the automotive industry, but soon calmed down again. Research and reporting on driverless cars has always existed, and in 2004, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) spearheaded the most important ever challenge for driverless cars, with the team successfully getting them across the Mojave Desert. By 2005, a modified Volkswagen Touareg from Stanford University had taken on the challenge even better.

However, no car company really regards unmanned vehicles as a key development project, at least until they see the prospect of unmanned vehicles, they will not spend their main resources on the development of unmanned vehicles.

Where there is demand, there is a market.

In Li Zetian's view, people have great doubts about the safety of unmanned vehicles, and they are by no means the best users. Just go to the street to do market research, and the vast majority of people say that they dare not take unmanned cars!

Unmanned vehicles must first be tested by the market, and after being recognized, people will be assured and bold to buy drones. Therefore, the best use of the first batch of unmanned vehicles is delivery. When people find that unmanned vehicles deliver goods without car accidents, they will gradually recognize unmanned vehicles.

Therefore, Li Zetian vigorously developed logistics, and after forming a huge scale, he felt that he could develop unmanned vehicles, produce and sell them by himself, and not worry about sales.

……

After the Hangzhou summit, Li Zetian did not return to the United States immediately, but continued to stay in China for a while. He then went to Shenzhen to inspect Xiaomi.

Because of the support of the Android system and strong spare parts suppliers, the development cycle of Xiaomi phones will not be very long.

When Li Zetian came to Xiaomi, Lei Jun came out with the company's senior management.

This is the first time Li Zetian has seen Lei Jun, and he can't help but look at him carefully, he is quite tall, Si Swenwen, maybe because of the pressure of work, the dark circles under his eyes are a little serious.

Another tech tycoon from a previous life......

Li Zetian smiled, Lei Jun stepped forward at this time, with excitement on his face, and said excitedly: "MRLI, hello, I am Lei Jun, welcome to Xiaomi Company!!"

The amazing degree of the iPhone is indescribable!

Lei Jun can't help but regard Li Zetian as his idol, and Xiaomi mobile phones are almost modeled on iPhone mobile phones.

Li Zetian stretched out his hand and shook his hand, and said, "Hehe, hello, Lei Jun." ”

"Oh, by the way, let me introduce you to the people around me, this is Zhou Guangping, the former senior director of Motorola's Beijing R&D Center, and this is Liu De, the former director of the Industrial Design Department of the University of Science and Technology Beijing......" Lei Jun successively pointed to several people around him and introduced them one by one.

"Hello!" Li Zetian shook hands as he nodded at them.

After a brief introduction, Lei Jun took Li Zetian to visit the Xiaomi mobile phone R&D laboratory.

In the Xiaomi mobile phone R&D laboratory, Lei Jun introduced the characteristics and R&D progress of Xiaomi mobile phones to Li Zetian in detail.

Li Zetian nodded secretly, very satisfied.

The development of Xiaomi mobile phones is very fast, from September to now, it has lasted two months, and Xiaomi mobile phones have almost completed 35% of the development progress.

"Xiaomi is still recruiting, and the speed of mobile phone development will be further improved in the future!" Lei Jun said, "We strive to officially launch Xiaomi mobile phones in April next year!"

Li Zetian nodded, pondered for a while, and said: "By April next year, Nokia should also release a new mobile phone, which will be a huge challenge for Xiaomi!"

Lei Jun said with confidence: "MRLI, don't worry, my team and I are full of confidence in Xiaomi mobile phones!!"

"Well," Li Zetian nodded again, he wanted to mention Xiaomi's marketing methods, but he swallowed the words in his mouth, what use did Lei Jun and others do if they didn't have the ability to take charge alone......

Shenzhen has many Li Zetian's industries.

The next morning, Li Zetian went to Tencent (China), and in the afternoon, he went to Baidu.

On the third day, Li Zetian traveled from Shenzhen to Hong Kong to visit his parents. He spent two days in Hong Kong before returning to the United States.

As soon as he arrived in the United States, Robert Retheff, chairman of BMW, actually called again, and it can be seen that BMW is really interested in unmanned vehicles.

Li Zetian thought about it, and simply had a showdown with him, so he said: "Mr. Norbert Reseff, it's not impossible for BMW to want to cooperate with me, but I have one condition. ”

"What conditions do you say?"

"I want to take a stake in BMW!" Li Zetian said lightly.

"If MRLI wants to invest in BMW, we are very welcome!"

"Mr. Norbert Retheff, maybe you don't quite understand what I mean, I want to buy BMW!" Li Zetian paused and said, "Rollslas Motor Company can be merged into BMW, and in addition, I will invest 25 billion US dollars, and BMW will sell 60% of the shares to me." ”

When Norbert Resev heard this, he immediately frowned!

ps: Something has happened in the last few days, so the update is a little less, and it will be updated a little more tomorrow
