Chapter 406 [Underground Dragon]
Speaking of AR glasses, in the previous life, Google Glass was born in 2012 and became a sensation all over the world.
Although the sales are not very good, the impact is great.
In the eyes of many people, Google is a great technology company that uses technology to change the world!
At that time, China's major Internet companies were still fighting for takeaways, group buying, taxis, etc., especially Baidu, which also started as a search engine, knew that it sold false medical advertisements and deceived the people, so that Baidu's reputation at that time was very declining, and Chinese netizens were extremely disappointed.
Before Zhao Ye's rebirth, Google's market value had reached $181 million, and Baidu, as the victor in Chinese search that year, had a market value of $38.66 billion, only 2.1% of Google's, which was an embarrassing batch.
Fortunately, now that Zhao Ye is here, changing the world starts with Wujiang Group......
In line with the principle of excellence and blockbuster, Wujiang Group does not plan to release Wujiang Glasses now.
If Wujiang Group chooses to sell AR glasses, then it will definitely not sell AR glasses in Wujiang flagship stores, but choose to sell them in glasses chain stores.
According to Wujiang Group's estimates, AR glasses can be released in the second half of 2015 at the earliest, and in the first half of 2016 at the latest.
The United States has a population of only 300 million, and China has a population of 1.4 billion, and if China also loses its manufacturing industry, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Now it's 2014, Google can launch Google Glass in 2012, so with the strength of Wujiang Group, of course, it can also launch Wujiang Glasses at this time. However, although Wujiang Group was able to launch Wujiang Glasses, it still had many defects due to the lack of advanced technology.
ZEISS eyewear focuses on the mid-to-high-end market, with revenue of 99.9 billion yuan last year, of which two-thirds of the revenue came from overseas, with an average revenue of more than 2 million yuan per store, which is much higher than that of other brand optical stores.
Zhao Ye was meeting with the person in charge of the Hongqi River Project to discuss speeding up the development of the Hongqi River Project.
Moreover, the Wujiang shield machine factory has a technologically advanced production line and skilled workers, every year, the Wujiang shield machine factory will also sell dozens of shield machine products overseas, now as long as the factory can work overtime to produce, then the manufacture of only 10 [underground Jiaolong shield machine] is not a problem at all.
3D printing leads the industrial revolution!
By that time, the number of ZEISS eyewear stores in the chain should exceed 40,000......
After the Bohai Dam, the Hongqi River Project has become the most high-profile and anticipated super project in the country, and it started construction earlier than the Bohai Dam. However, the construction of the Hongqi River project is difficult and time-consuming, and so far, the entire project has only been half completed.
"Great, Zhao Dong, with the [Underground Jiaolong Shield Machine], I am sure that the Hongqi River project will be completed within two years!!" Liu Yexin looked excited and swore an oath.
And the vast majority of this wealth will be used for research and development, so as to create more advanced technology.
"Okay, then I'll wait two years to see the completion of the Hongqi River project! During this period, I will always fully support you and let the Borderless Shield Machine Factory produce more shield machines for you! Zhao Ye smiled and patted Liu Ye's shoulder and encouraged.
For the development of AR glasses, Wujiang Group started as early as seven or eight years ago.
Lujiazui, inside the chairman's office of Wujiang Group.
Chief engineer Liu Ye heard this, immediately overjoyed, [underground Jiaolong shield machine] came out caused a sensation in the industry, known as the "king of construction machinery", Liu Ye yearning, if you can use [underground Jiaolong shield machine] to dig the canal, then, the progress of the Hongqi River project will be very fast!
The reason why the construction of the Hongqi River project is so difficult is that it is blocked by many high mountains, and it is difficult to realize "water flowing to high places".
Opening an optical store is actually very profitable, and the expansion of the ZEISS eyewear chain is not just about promoting Boundless AR glasses. With the advent of smartphones, people generally spend a lot of time playing with their mobile phones every day, which has led to more and more people's eyesight starting to deteriorate, so they need glasses.
The maturity and large-scale application of 3D printing technology have greatly improved the product quality and production efficiency of the major factories of Wujiang Group, and at the same time, the production cost has been greatly reduced and the profit has been greatly increased!
At the same time, a large amount of money will also speed up the development of some engineering projects.
Traditional manufacturing processes and factory assembly speed may be difficult to achieve, but Wujiang Group is the pioneer of Industry 4.0 and the leader of 3D printing technology and artificial intelligence.
In many small cities, more than ten years ago, there may have been a few optical stores in the city, but now, there are dozens of optical stores in the city.
The United States has lost its manufacturing industry, and everyone can see what the situation is at home.
Generally, dams and pumping stations are built to lift water step by step through pumping stations to ensure the reliability of water transfer.
AR glasses are also glasses, different people, different vision, need glasses, therefore, glasses chain stores are undoubtedly the best sales channel for AR glasses.
It is only natural that ZEISS Eyewear can develop into the world's largest chain of optical stores.
And for other companies, it is undoubtedly catastrophic.
In the short term, it will be difficult for these companies to catch up with the Borderless Group.
Right now, Borderless Group is spree-looting global funds and making incredible fortunes.
You must know that Zeiss in this world, with the support of Wujiang Group, has developed extremely rapidly, and it can be described as a well-deserved hegemon in the field of optics.
Moreover, Zhao Ye is also very aware of the situation of Google Glass, AR technology itself is not mature enough, and the price is expensive, the battery life and heating problems are serious, the application ecology is poor, the market positioning is not clear, and the sales channels are limited......
And for Vietnam, Myanmar, India and other countries that want to imitate China and become the next "world factory", it is undoubtedly a devastating blow.
So, does Borderless Group have any eyewear chain stores?
AR, or Augmented Reality, is also known as mixed reality. It uses computer technology to apply virtual information to the real world, and the real environment and virtual objects are superimposed on the same picture or space in real time, and the future prospects are very huge, which can be mainly used in games and film and television entertainment, education, medical care, real estate, industry, etc......
The large pumping machine specially developed by Wujiang Group for the desalination of the Bohai Sea can also be used in the pumping station.
……
Once the AR glasses are released by the Wujiang Group in the future, they will be able to ship them quickly through the ZEISS optical store.
At present, the diameter of the largest shield machine in other countries is still not more than 18 meters.
In the future, ZEISS glasses will also combine modern virtual technology, allowing consumers to experience the virtual wearing effect through the virtual try-on function, there is no problem in terms of technology, once this function is launched, combined with the offline store experience, it is likely to form a customer group fission, so that the revenue of Zeiss glasses will skyrocket!
……
Hardly any company is willing to spend that much time, manpower, and money on such a thing, but Borderless has done it.
Of course, the changes brought about by new technologies will allow a large number of humans to be replaced by robots, but this must also be their own revolution, throughout history, the progress of technology has not only changed the way we live, but also created many new career opportunities. Whoever dominates the technology profits.
Moreover, China will not allow these countries to easily snatch away low-end manufacturing industries, because China has come from this road and knows the importance of manufacturing.
In fact, it's not just the EPB machine that's being supported.
Poor countries want to use the demographic dividend to build a low-end manufacturing industry, but they can't compare with the production cost of intelligent industrial robots, especially the application of 3D printing technology, which is simply crushing!
Therefore, it is very difficult for these countries to replicate China's success.
Fortunately, the construction speed of the whole project is getting faster and faster, and many advanced technologies for digging canals have been developed, for example, the [Underground Jiaolong Shield Machine] independently developed by Wujiang Group is extremely strong, and the drilling speed is the first in the world, and it can chisel through a hill in one day, which can be excavated artifact! This is the "great power heavy weapon" created by Wujiang Group again, breaking the technological blockade of foreign countries and being far ahead of the world!
Of course, Wujiang Group has been developing shield machines for a long time, and has also developed several shield machine products before, and the birth of [Underground Jiaolong Shield Machine] is the success of Wujiang Group!
The 156-meter-long, 20.5-meter-diameter super-large shield machine is like an "underground dragon", silently blazing a trail forward in the dark.
The name of this eyewear chain is: Zeiss Eyewear.
But there are places where dams and pumping stations are really not suitable for construction, so the best thing to do is to make a hole directly through the ground or through the cave.
Absolutely!
And the scale is still very large, ranking first in the world, with a total of more than 38,000 offline stores!
"Chief Engineer Liu, [Underground Jiaolong Shield Machine] has been successfully developed, I immediately instructed them to establish a corresponding production line, and at least 10 [Underground Jiaolong Shield Machine] must be able to be delivered within three months!!" Zhao Ye said.
The main line of the Hongqi River project is about 6,180 kilometers long, of which dozens of pumping stations will be built.
At the beginning, a lot of money was invested in the development of pumping machines, and it was not a loss at all.
