Compared with the urgent reaction of the tailwind, other logistics companies seem to be half a beat slower to react, in fact, it is not that they do not pay attention to this matter, but that other logistics companies still have some hesitation about this new thing.

To put it bluntly, I just want others to explore the way first, and I don't dare to eat the first crab, so I plan to wait and see first.

Shunfeng is clearly the first business to choose to eat crabs.

On the morning of Wednesday, September 6, Oriental Express, which had just been established for a week, and Kunpeng Technology had another big news, and the two companies announced that they had reached a strategic cooperation agreement, which contributed to a super large order.

The heads of both companies were present at today's press conference and the signing ceremony was held publicly.

Oriental Express spent 21 billion yuan to purchase 5,000 "Kunpeng-5B" drones from Kunpeng Technology to build a modern large-scale commercial drone cargo logistics system.

People from all walks of life were shocked by this order, and they came up directly to 5,000 planes, and the Oriental Express was the consistent style of the galaxy in the end, either not playing, playing big, and directly filling it up.

How can ordinary enterprises have such a skill? Even an industry giant like Shunfeng can't come up with such a big hand.

However, for the Oriental Express, which has an exclusive franchise qualification or the bloodline of the galaxy, although this is shocking, it is also very reasonable, and this subdivision of the industry will be the only one in the country to provide large-scale commercial UAV capacity services in the future, but the capacity of 5000 "Kunpeng-5B" UAVs may not be enough.

It is expected that in 2016, the national express delivery business volume is expected to exceed 30 billion pieces for the first time, with nearly 23 express delivery per capita, and the industry growth rate is more than 50%, and the frequency of express delivery used by users is still rising, and the entire industry is still in a high-speed incremental market state.

Now the daily express delivery volume of the country exceeds 100 million, and the market size ranks first in the world.

It can be said that the capacity of 5000 "Kunpeng-5B" UAVs alone is definitely not enough, the maximum load of this type of UAV is 1.8 tons, even according to the extreme value of the theoretical upper limit, roughly calculated the total capacity of a whole number of 5000 sorties is about 9000 tons, assuming that the total daily capacity can reach 30,000 tons, the annual capacity of about 10.95 million tons.

If all of Shunfeng's shipments are transported by this type of drone, the total capacity of 5,000 Kunpeng-5B drones will not be enough to meet the company's delivery needs based on the company's current daily shipment volume.

What's more, domestic logistics companies are not only tailwind, but the market share of the company has not reached the monopoly level.

And 5000 "Kunpeng-5B" UAVs roughly calculated annual 10 million tons of capacity is theoretical data, the actual situation is definitely not up to this scale, because there will always be a part of the UAV in maintenance, it is impossible to work at the same time, so 5000 is definitely not enough, and there will inevitably be additional purchases in the future.

Oriental Express dares to come up to play so big is not a decision to pat the head, this is a combination of market scale effect, exclusive licensing qualifications and other data indicators for professional and strict economic feasibility demonstration, the result is that the cost of large-scale commercial UAV freight logistics is lower than the current traditional logistics model, and the efficiency is also raised.

Express next-day delivery is fast enough, but Oriental Express can be faster, and it can be delivered on the same day.

Consumers buy an order online on the same day, the manufacturer delivers the goods in the magic capital, and the delivery location is in Pengcheng, a thousand kilometers away, and the Oriental Express can air transport the goods to the same day, and the consumer can receive the express mail on the same day, and place an order on the same day.

With such high efficiency and lower cost than traditional logistics, this competitiveness is self-evident.

There are also some remote areas, which cannot be sent by traditional logistics, and Oriental Express can also send it to you, which can also bring new performance growth points to logistics companies.

All of this has been calculated in detail, and the competitiveness index can be quantified, so I dare to play so big, because I am 100% sure that this model can be played.

The reason why Fang Hong let Oriental Express choose the "B2B" model is also to quickly open the market, and the efficiency of direct docking with consumer terminal business is too slow.

But directly docking with the enterprise side, it is much easier to do, you only need to settle those enterprises and it will be done, and you can directly open the market. It is also an important factor to promise to only provide capacity services to third-party logistics companies, and to promise to do only this one thing and never compete with it.

It is worth mentioning that Fang Hong was able to promote the Eastern Express to achieve the landing of boots, and the outside world did not know that he actually wrote an additional material to the military, which was actually the decisive factor, because it directly made the military's attitude towards the commercial issue of large UAVs usher in a big change.

This material written by Fang Hong expresses only one point of view: quasi-reserve force!

In peacetime, the large drones under the banner of the Eastern Express are used to transport all kinds of cargo express, and in wartime, they can be transformed into an air force that can be requisitioned by the army at any time.

If it is used as a capacity unit for war materials, it can directly go to the front line to perform logistics and transportation tasks without any changes.

If it is used as an attack weapon, it does not need any changes, and the cargo pod can be replaced with missiles and aerial bombs to become an attack drone with the ability to quickly support the front line.

That is to say, when the military's requisition order arrives, if the Eastern Express has 5,000 drones, it means that it has such a scale of reinforcements that can rush to the front line at any time, and what if the scale of the drones under the Eastern Express is 50,000? What a terrifying reinforcement is that?

Even if the production capacity and efficiency in wartime are full, there is still an obvious window period in time, and no matter how fast the production capacity is, it cannot be as fast as the ready-made on-call speed, and it is really wartime, and there is no need to say too much about how great the significance of today's modern warfare is to be able to respond quickly.

It was precisely because Fang Hong wrote this material that was recognized by the military that he contributed to the landing of Oriental Express' boots so quickly.

Oriental Express also has a top-secret information, that is, the military actually has the background management authority of the company's UAVs, which is equivalent to non-existence in peacetime, and the wartime state can directly cross the Oriental Express to carry out combat deployment of all UAVs in operation, focusing on a rapid response, and the Oriental Express may receive the news of being requisitioned afterwards.

This is top secret, and the people who know it inside the Eastern Express can also be counted on one hand.

There is another important factor that the military can recognize, that is, it is not suitable to have thousands or tens of thousands of such UAVs directly in the army.

First of all, if you really do this, you will definitely be accused of wantonly military expansion in the international community, and the tens of thousands of guys in Wuyang and Wuyang are really scary, okay, especially the neighbors next to them will be very scared. But let the Oriental Express engage in civilian commercial logistics and transportation, you can't say that I am engaged in military expansion, if you want to say so, I can also refute it with reason, our ancestors invented gunpowder but used it to set off fireworks, which shows that you have always loved peace, on the other hand, you have learned it but used it as a killing weapon.

Secondly, such a large number of scales are very expensive, logistics maintenance and maintenance have to cost money, but if it is the assets of the Oriental Express, then there is no need to allocate a penny from military spending, it is all borne by the Oriental Express, and when it is really time to use it, you only need a paper requisition order.

Coupled with favorable factors such as economic development, technological progress and the transformation and upgrading of high value-added industries, the Eastern Express has been able to land at the speed of light.
