Chapter 0350: You're an Outlander
Gao Ping is annoyed now!
It's really annoying!
He is the CEO of a company specializing in RFID technology and sensing IoT.
In recent years, due to the rising labor costs in coastal cities, in order to alleviate the pressure of labor costs, Gao Ping decided to move the factory to the economically backward provinces in central China to save labor costs, and at the same time get some government subsidies.
The initial decision is Jiangzhou City.
Mainly a few of the company's regular customers, that is, auto parts manufacturers, introduced him here.
Gao Ping came to Jiangzhou City last year to inspect and found that the labor cost here is cheap, the transportation is also convenient, there are waterways, highways and railways, and the local government has preferential policy subsidies.
I simply planned to invest in Jiangzhou City to build a factory.
How did it turn out?
Obviously, it has been determined to build a factory, but several auto parts manufacturers suddenly came to say that everyone was going to leave.
If you don't go with them, then they won't look for Gaoping Company for RFID technology in these factories.
Are you kidding!
These auto parts manufacturers can bring nearly 10 million profits a year.
Where is Gao Ping.
But when you go to a new place, you have to spend time researching and reinvesting, how can you have so much time!
This is not Gao Ping's hypocrisy, it is really no time.
Gaoping's induction IOT is a high-tech enterprise of Internet of Things RFID located in southern Jiangsu Province, integrating R&D, production, integration and sales.
RFID technology of inductive IoT is widely used.
For example, attendance, vehicle positioning inquiry, production tracking and technical system, process management and tracking system, transport vehicle weighing and technical system, warehouse warehousing and inventory system, etc.
Of course, it also includes RFID electronic tags on the goods, which are convenient for scanning codes.
This is currently the main aspect of the induction of the Internet of Things.
It is mainly to receive orders from some large supermarkets and large enterprises in China.
Supermarkets and warehouses scan goods, and there is a place that delays time, that is, when scanning goods, they must be scanned one by one.
For example, after buying something in the supermarket, at the time of checkout, whether it is the supermarket cashier or the self-service checkout counter, they all take the goods and sweep them one by one, and they must be aligned, otherwise they may not be scanned.
It's a waste of time.
Even if the unmanned supermarket uses RFID electronic tags, it can only have a maximum of 5 products at a time.
As for the accumulation of goods in the warehouse.
It is difficult for RFID to achieve good penetration technology, such as encountering metal and other objects, and the penetration effect is poor.
It's not like online shopping, where you add everything to your cart and what products are available, the respective prices, including the total price, are immediately available.
So supermarkets and warehouses of some large enterprises want to improve this aspect.
The warehouse hopes that the induction IoT can create a bunch of goods to put together, and they can also be quickly scanned, saving the time of scanning labels, so as to reduce the time cost and management cost of the enterprise.
The supermarket cashier can also greatly improve the user experience and increase the competitiveness of physical enterprises.
Once the research of induction IoT is successful, Gao Ping expects his company's annual profit to be at least 100 million.
But it's just a beautiful vision.
The induction IOT has been researched for 2 years, but it has never been able to break through this technology, and it has to throw money into research and development every year.
For Gao Ping now, time is of the essence.
A year's delay is a year's huge R&D expenses, so he is very reluctant to spend any more time looking at the new factory site.
But he had a real problem that he had to face.
R&D costs money!!
So he has to keep open source to make money.
These auto parts manufacturers can bring tens of millions of profits to Gaoping every year.
Forced by the helplessness of the current situation, Gao Ping could only agree to invest in Dongnian City to build a factory.
After having breakfast at the hotel this morning, Zhang Bo, an auto parts dealer, brought people over and invited Gao Ping to visit Dongnian City.
When I got out of the hotel, the staff of the Jiangzhou Municipal Commercial Management Committee kept saying that the director would come soon, and many things could still be discussed.
However, under the pressure of Zhang Bo's auto parts, Gao Ping could only give up his cooperation with the Commercial Management Committee.
After leaving the hotel, I was going to go straight to Dongnian City, but I didn't know what was going on, Gao Ping suddenly felt very thirsty.
It may be that the rice noodles I ate in the morning were too dry, and I didn't drink water.
Gao Ping asked Zhang Bo if there was any water in the car.
Zhang Bo, who has always liked to prepare some mineral water in the car, ended up drinking it yesterday and forgot to bring it when he went out today.
"Mr. Zhang, pull over, I'll go to the supermarket to buy some water. ”
Zhang Bo didn't think much about it and pulled over.
After Gao Ping got out of the car, he felt more and more thirsty, and he didn't have the heart to look at the name of the supermarket, so he walked in directly.
When he came in, Gao Ping habitually looked at the cash register.
It was found that there were only 3 cash register lanes.
This made Gao Ping very strange.
At a glance, you can see that this is a very large supermarket, and according to the standards of other supermarkets, there are at least 10 cash registers.
Maybe it's self-checkout.
Gao Ping thought that in many supermarkets, customers push their carts to the independent settlement counter, pick up and scan one product after another, and then scan the code to pay.
Gao Ping didn't think much about it, but went directly to the supermarket to get a bottle of water.
Just when you take the water.
Gao Ping's eyes lit up.
Because he found that this supermarket located in a fourth-tier city actually has an RFID electronic tag on each product.
Supermarkets in such underdeveloped areas actually use RFID technology??
TM is a fool!
Although Gao Ping likes to use RFID electronic tags in supermarkets on a large scale, he believes that the use of supermarkets at this stage is actually similar to that of Silly X.
Each product gets an electronic tag separately, and the cost is about 5 cents.
And that's not even counting the labor costs of labeling each item.
And when you settle the bill, there are only 5 at a time, and you are worried about being blocked by metal and so on.
In terms of cost and efficiency, it is not very cost-effective.
"Hey, I don't know when the new technology will be developed. ”
Thinking of the technology he was researching in his lab, Gao Ping was depressed.
I grabbed a bottle of drink.
Just as Gao Ping went to the cashier to scan the code and pay the money, a little girl pushed a cart of things and ran out of a door next to the cashier.
Right!
It's really pushing the cart all the way away.
It's like when you grab a bunch of stuff at the supermarket and run out while everyone isn't looking.
Gao Ping hurriedly called the security guard at the door.
The security guard looked confused???
In a hurry, Gao Ping ran directly over and grabbed the little girl.
"What are you doing!"
The little girl was in a hurry to go out for something, but when she was caught, she shouted angrily.
"You didn't pay the money, just pushed things and ran, what do you say I do!"
Gao Ping was blocked today because of the factory incident, and when he arrested this little girl, he was purely uncomfortable.
"You're sick, I've already settled the bill. The little girl aired.
"Paid?" Gao Ping looked the little girl up and down, "What are you kidding, I watched you run out of this door, and I didn't see the process of you settling the goods at all." ”
The little girl who was originally angry, when she saw Gao Ping talking, she was happy: "Poof, hahaha...... Little brother, you're a foreigner, aren't you?"
