In the evening, I had a meal to celebrate the successful signing of the contract.

The next day, Du Gang rushed back to the imperial capital.

There are still a lot of things at hand, so they don't hinder Wang Chen's eyes.

Kim Sam-seok also began to make relevant preparations after the contract.

Especially in terms of new energy, Jin Sanshi went to BYD's headquarters directly with a plane.

In order to face the follow-up large orders, BYD, as the only cooperative manufacturer, must stand up.

Although the technology gate side also needs to increase production capacity, it needs to leave enough funds to cope with the upcoming construction of the island.

Not only that, but Wang Chen began to behave again in the past two days, so that Jin Sanshi left enough space on the ground approved before.

Wang Chen didn't say what he wanted to do, but just asked Jin Sanshi to build a few large-scale high-standard factories first.

With Jin Sanshi's understanding of Wang Chen, this is definitely the rhythm of doing things.

Therefore, in case of emergency, you must set aside enough funds.

And on the laboratory side.

After sending Du Gang away, Wang Chen also entered a busy state.

Orders placed through internal channels have been completed one after another, and various spare parts are almost filling the few spaces in the laboratory.

Wang Chen also decided to officially launch the robot development plan in May, which may be the last time he tossed the project in person for a long time.

--------------------------

In mid-April, when Wang Chen was hiding in the laboratory, he was busy.

The boss at DJI headquarters received a phone call.

The two sides chatted for more than an hour, and when the phone hung up, the DJI boss also showed a hint of thought on his face.

This call was made by the CEO of SF Express, and to be honest, he did not have much contact with the express delivery industry.

Receiving a call from SF Express is also a little unexpected.

However, the helmsman of SF Express talked about something that interested him.

That is to build a new logistics system based on drones.

To be honest, I have also considered the development prospects of drones in the field of express delivery before.

It's just that without the collocation of artificial intelligence, this scheme is still somewhat unreliable.

In particular, the population density in the country is very large, and if the safety cannot be guaranteed, the higher authorities will not approve the project.

SF Express is also very clear about this.

It's just that they came up with a very interesting solution.

That is to upgrade most of the current rider training to flight controllers.

Set up flight control centers in each major city.

Through human control, the drone can be safely and punctually delivered to the target.

This proposal is indeed novel enough, and it is indeed possible to improve the safety of drones by ensuring the safety of drones through manpower.

The most important thing is that the upgrade cost is not high, and it can be fully supported by SF's current system.

And with drones, many places that were previously impossible to reach can be explored

For example, some mountain villages.

These places, which are more troublesome by manpower, can be quickly reached by drones.

Once this system is successful, SF Express can take advantage of the current decadence.

One thing to say, from the words of the CEO of SF Express, it can be heard that they attach great importance to this project.

Of course, DJI also understands the situation that SF Express is facing now, after all, their children are not having a good time now.

Judging from the current situation, SF's profit has dropped by 80 percent compared with before.

One of the most important reasons is that there is no e-commerce platform behind them.

Although it suppressed the four links in the past, with the continuous development of e-commerce and the involution of the industry.

SF's advantage has been disappearing little by little.

Nowadays, the most express delivery is Taobao, Pinduoduo and Jingdong e-commerce platforms, four links and one reach to occupy Taobao, Tmall territory, with a large number of orders has become the main force in the express delivery market.

J&T is exclusive to Pinduoduo, and has successfully entered the domestic market with the rapid rise of Pinduoduo. JD Logistics also has the JD Mall behind it to do support, but what about SF?

Without the support of a fixed e-commerce platform, although it focuses on the mid-to-high-end market, it is obvious that this can no longer continue to provide advantages for SF's development. In addition, everyone is fighting a price war, in 2010, the average unit price of the express delivery industry was 24.60 yuan, and in 2020, it has dropped to 10.55 yuan.

Although SF Express has been at a high level in terms of price and has not participated in the price war, it has also been greatly affected.

Under the pressure of this trend, high-priced and high-quality services can no longer keep up with the pace of industry development, so SF Express can only make adjustments.

Since 2019, SF Express has launched economic express products, and with the weakening of the advantages of time-sensitive express delivery, these economic express delivery has become the main source of SF Express's revenue. However, the profit of this kind of product is low for SF, so the overall revenue situation is not good.

This situation has been going on for a long time, and although SF has been looking for opportunities, the dilemma of having no one behind them also makes it difficult for them to reflexively.

So they are always looking for an opportunity that will completely change the situation.

They had already thought of this plan when they announced the graphene battery from the gate of technology.

But the internal disagreement is a bit big, so it's been analyzing and researching all the time.

However, with the release of this year's financial report, looking at the losses that have appeared on the books, the boss of SF Express can't sit still at all.

Sitong Yida and J&T obviously want to force themselves to death, and those e-commerce platforms cannot accept themselves at this time, waiting for themselves to die in order to occupy the market.

At this time, continuing to raise will only miss the overall situation, it is better to give it a go, anyway, the situation is already very bad.

So this plan, which had been studied for a long time, was put on the table again.

From the perspective of the situation, it is indeed a great risk to promote drone express delivery now, but the agility and convenience brought by drones are indeed much more than manpower.

After all, people are walking in the sky, and they have a very high cost performance for the delivery of small pieces.

After internal research, if SF's current small business is upgraded to drone delivery, then the efficiency can be increased by at least 40% if the flight controller personnel are sufficient.

This is not a small amount, you must know that the speed of SF Express is already very fast, even now it is comparable to JD.com.

The efficiency that comes out of this is all money.

So after more than two months of discussion, the boss of SF Express made this call to DJI.

Not only do I want to get DJI's customized models, but I even want to sign a strategic partnership, cutting off the way of other peers in one go.

And DJI has also shown enough interest, after all, the drones needed for this project are not a small amount, which is all money.

The reason why I didn't immediately agree that in addition to thinking about it myself, I also had to ask the meaning of the top.

Not only do you have to ask the top, but you also have to go to the flower manufacturer to measure it.

Drones need 5G networks to support them, and without flower factories to join, DJI alone is powerless.
