I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World

Chapter 785: Drone and express (four more tickets!)

This cooperation letter of intent comes from the domestic SF Express, the specific content is that it hopes to introduce drone express technology to the country, with Xiangjiang City as a pilot to complete the construction of the drone logistics network.

Honestly, after reading this document, Jiang Chen’s expression is very weird.

"Drone Express", this concept has been proposed long ago, not the first generation of the future people group.

As early as June 2013, the US rn company tested the drone network in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. The drone used can carry 2 kg of weight and fly 9.7 km. After completing the initial planning of the UAV network, the company will next plan to build a large international UAV transportation network and a global supply system for UAV accessories. At the same time, it is also planned to establish a charging base station so that the drone can land down along the way for charging.

In September of the same year, domestic SF Express's self-developed dispatched drones completed internal testing and conducted trial runs in some areas. This drone uses an eight-rotor with a flying height of about 100 meters. The built-in navigation system allows the staff to pre-set the destination and route. The drone will automatically reach the destination and the error can be controlled within 2 meters.

However, neither rn nor SF have been able to promote the spread of drone logistics to a wide range. The former drone seems to be only suitable for poor countries in the third world, while the latter's drones are only suitable for use in poor mountain areas in the country.

Although drone logistics can significantly improve distribution efficiency and reduce labor costs. However, it is limited by bad weather and the inability to avoid vandalism during the flight, which has made the concept of “unmanned express delivery” impossible.

Penglai City is probably the only modern city in the world that has realized the logistics of drones. However, the reason why this can be done, the advanced technology of the drone is one aspect, but the more critical factor is the security efficiency of Penglai City.

Far away, let’s take a look at the news from the previous period: “A young guy in Guangzhou used a drone to send a mooncake to his girlfriend, and was shot down by the square dance aunt. When the guy found out that he was “hijacked”, he rushed to find the aunts. Compensation, but the aunt did not only deny the shooting down the drone, but also said that he was almost injured by the drone."

Not to mention that the management of drones has always been in a gray area on the policy, and there seems to be no room for drone logistics to become bigger and stronger. About SF Express wants to introduce a series of drones from the future heavy work, and complete the construction of the drone logistics network in China. To be honest, Jiang Chen is not optimistic about their decision-making.

However, their offer is difficult for Jiang Chen to refuse.

For the completion of the construction of the Xiangjiang UAV logistics network, the SF offer is $450 million. Jiang Chen estimated that the 500 UAV terminals should cover all areas of Xiangjiang City, and meet the demand of Xiangjiang City. About 50,000 drones will suffice.

According to the production cost of 3 drones, one will be in the early stage of 3,000 US dollars. Compared with rn's $ 5,000 drone, it has an advantage in terms of technology and price.

Fully calculated, the cost of building this drone logistics network in Xiangjiang for SF will not exceed 200 million US dollars. Compared to its $450 million offer, this is almost a profit of 125!

Moreover, if it is the pilot of Xiangjiang City, it proves the feasibility of the UAV logistics network to be promoted to the mainland. The next step for SF is undoubtedly to expand the UAV logistics network to Shenzhen, then to Guangzhou, and then

Think about it, how many cities do you have in China? How many courier companies?

Such a huge market is simply an inexhaustible gold mine!

"Your expression tells me that you are very interested." Looking at Jiang Chen's expression, Xia Shiyu grinned and smiled.

"Yes, the value of this market is more than 100 billion. I don't think any company will be interested." Jiang Chen looked at the documents in his hand and nodded from time to time.

Honestly, the details of the cooperation, although he did not understand very well, but the prospects of the entire market, he saw very clearly in an instant. There are 283 prefecture-level cities in China, 374 county-level cities, and ten express companies. Even if the average city can only earn 500 million US dollars, the scale of this market is already terrible.

"I am also very optimistic about this agreement. No matter whether the SF Express pilot operation in Xiangjiang City is successful, there is no risk to us. But I have not agreed with their proposal for the time being."

“Why?” Jiang Chen looked at Xia Shiyu with interest.

He knows that there is a reason for her to do so.

“The price of SF is very attractive, but since we have the core technology, the funds are relatively abundant. This drone logistics, why don’t we do it ourselves?”

Why not do it yourself?

Future People Group has mastered sr, a huge virtual reality shopping platform, which integrates several home appliance dealers. Every day, the volume on sr has reached a rather horrible number. With such a huge resource advantage, the Future People Group can develop offline delivery services on this basis.

The user is on the sr, the future people group unified "mail" delivery!

The use of drone delivery technology will greatly reduce the labor costs of future people's groups. SF needs to pay 400,000 employees, but for the future group, this number can be compressed to less than 50,000.

In terms of operating costs, the future people group will first take advantage.

When I heard Xia Shiyu, Jiang Chen seriously thought for a moment.

“Do you do logistics yourself? Does our company have management experience in this area?”

“We don’t have to start from scratch. My advice is to acquire a ready-made logistics company, integrate its management team, and then reorganize it. In the process of sorting, transporting, and dispatching goods, we are sent by our head office. Responsible for redesigning and copying the model of Penglai City. If the trial run proves feasible, we will promote it in the Mainland and further promote it to the world!"

Prior to this, Xia Shiyu apparently had made some plans for the layout of this "unmanned aerials logistics", so she was confident when explaining to Jiang Chen.

And her words did make Jiang Chen heart.

To serve others, how can you make money by taking the entire industry chain?

“What about risk?” Jiang Chen asked the last question he was concerned about.

“It will take about US$3 billion to complete the acquisition. Then we will gradually cancel the local agency rights, turn the franchise model to offline, and establish our own distribution network in major cities. This work will cost about US$1 billion. As a pilot of drone logistics, the city costs $200 million."

In this way, the cost of the entire project is about 4 billion US dollars, with the financial resources of the future people group, it can completely resist this risk.

"Very good, please thank you for that!" Jiang Chen smiled and directed the documents in his hand.

Now that I have decided to do this drone logistics, it is natural that SF's letter of intent for cooperation is no longer necessary.

Xia Shiyu smiled slightly and gently picked up the hair of the ear.

"I will handle it."

Ok, I don’t buy games anymore on s. Four more outbreaks, the land to roll the monthly ticket is not yet to be continued
