Xingyi UAV has five major departments and five types. Wang Yi has invested sufficient funds, given enough time, and given sufficient support to produce results!

Wang Yi's money didn't come from strong winds.

In the same two or three years, DJI and other friends have produced good products with less money.

However, Xingyi UAV has invested more money in research and development and has more resources. If it has no output, it may even just produce garbage...

Then it's not a question of ability, but a question of attitude.

Even the entire department is rotten to the core.

Under such circumstances, it is normal in the industry for the entire department to be disbanded and restructured, and all core senior management to be fired.

Just like in the previous life, the vehicle-engine system department of Volkswagen's new energy vehicles invested huge sums of money, but it was a mess and was constantly complained by users.

On the contrary, it is better to spend one-tenth of the money and use Xpeng's car-machine system, which will cost less and provide a better experience.

The reason is that Volkswagen's automotive and engine departments are useless.

From top to bottom, he is doing nothing but earning ten times the salary of Xpeng's automotive and machine department and achieving one-tenth of Xpeng's output. It's completely rotten to the core.

There is absolutely no need to keep this kind of department.

So Volkswagen directly disbanded the vehicle system department of new energy vehicles, used R&D funds to invest in Xpeng, and adopted Xpeng's technical solutions...

This kind of thing is very common in the industry.

When the efficiency is too low and only money is spent but no output is produced, then the only option is to disband and fire them all.

It is precisely for this reason that foreign brands such as BBA have begun to cooperate with domestic brands such as BYD, Huawei, Ideal, NIO, and Xpeng to use domestic technology.

The domestic technology is completely better, and it saves money and time compared to their own research and development.

Wang Yi also has the same attitude towards various business units and departments.

As long as the project has a future, it needs money, people, support, and time.

But if it's a reasonable time and all the friends have good output, but Xingyi Technology has none and is just a bunch of worms messing around with money, then it doesn't make sense.

It's time to be fired, it's time to be disbanded.

These are industry rules.

It is precisely because of this that some project managers who have burned money and produced no output will also be blocked by other business partners.

For example, Xiaomi’s drone department experienced failure and only sold 3,000 crowdfunded 1080P version drones before being taken off the shelves.

It has not been officially released in the future, and the originally planned 4K version is still far away.

Without him, after the failure of the 1080P version, the factory stopped production, personnel were evacuated, and the department was disbanded.

The entire project was abandoned directly.

The only news is the follow-up recall of 3,000 crowdfunded drones...

It wasn’t until seven or eight years later that Xiaomi drones came back again...

As for drone delivery of food, it is not out of reach.

In fact, Meituan began developing drones for food delivery in 2017.

In 2021, we will start to open dedicated lines and try to use drones to deliver food.

By 2024, Meituan's food delivery drones will have reached the fourth generation, and dozens of dedicated lines have been opened in Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Shanghai and other cities, and more than 300,000 orders have been delivered by drones.

And it’s all autonomous driving!

It’s just that everyone doesn’t know it.

Just like Baidu's driverless taxis, when the public thinks it is out of reach, it has actually been in operation a few years ago.

It's just that due to certain restrictions, it has not been promoted vigorously for the time being.

Science and technology are developing faster than the public imagines.

The difference is that both Baidu and Meituan have chosen a substitution model, using driverless cars to replace online ride-hailing drivers, and using drones to deliver food to replace delivery people.

After Meituan users place an order, they choose drone delivery and it is expected to be delivered in fifteen minutes.

After the meal is served in the store, the clerk loads it into the drone lunch box, scans the code, and the Meituan drone intelligently identifies the destination and takes off automatically.

Only one order is delivered at a time, and the whole process is driverless, and you go straight to the Meituan food counter in the destination community to place your order.

After placing the meal, the user received the message and went downstairs to the Meituan sideboard to scan the code to pick up the meal.

During the entire process, only one meal was delivered at a time, and Meituan drones were used to directly replace the delivery boys, which ruined the jobs of a large number of riders.

Wang Yi, on the other hand, adopts a win-win model, and some orders are still delivered by takeaways.

Another part of the route is suitable for drones, which adopt the model of delivery person + drone to deliver three to five orders at a time.

Let the delivery staff stationed in the mall to pick up the food, pick up all the same community orders from several nearby stores or the orders from the community on the way, and then load them into the drone and deliver them to the community.

After delivery, the delivery staff stationed in the area took the orders and delivered them upstairs one by one.

The whole process requires two delivery people, which can definitely create a lot of jobs.

No way, Wang Yi doesn’t use drones to deliver food, Meituan will use them too.

Meituan has invested heavily in drone delivery since 2017.

Meituan's drones will have developed into the fourth generation in 2024. With so much money invested, it is impossible to just do it in a small way. It must wait for time and promote it comprehensively!

Wang Yi's use of drones to deliver food will at least give delivery workers a chance to work and make money easier, but what about Meituan?

Seriously, it is a capital operation, and drones will directly replace delivery workers!

Moreover, Wang Yi’s drone delivery will only be promoted in large shopping malls and commercial streets where stores are concentrated, as well as in large communities.

Small stores and small communities do not have enough orders, so they still use takeaways to deliver the goods.

It won't be one size fits all.

There are also driverless taxis. Even if Wang Yi doesn’t do it, won’t Baidu do it? Don’t other giants do it?

Not only do they do it, they do it even more, leaving no room for error.

When Wang Yi builds driverless taxis, he will provide ordinary drivers with an income guarantee by cooperating with experienced drivers from AutoNavi.

The sales of Xingyi unmanned taxis will be strictly restricted and will only be sold to experienced drivers of AutoNavi Taxi and will not be sold to wealthy people and capital.

The entire process requires real-name authentication, relevant information must be submitted for review, and big data is reviewed in a multi-faceted manner. You must queue up to purchase based on the length of the order, and one person can only purchase one vehicle.

At the same time, profits will be controlled to a certain level, to a level that is friendly to ordinary drivers but not favored by capital.

Baidu's self-driving taxis will directly replace them and ruin their jobs.

To put it bluntly, if Wang Yi doesn’t do these things, his friends and businessmen will.

Once all the friends and businessmen promote it, even if Wang Yi insists on not doing it, he will not be able to carry it out and will only go bankrupt.

The simplest thing is that in the future, Baidu will vigorously promote driverless taxis, and a large number of online taxi drivers will lose their jobs, but the taxi fare will be much lower, and users will be very happy.

In order to prevent online ride-hailing drivers from losing their jobs, Wang Yi's AutoNavi does not develop self-driving taxis and still adopts driverless taxis. The cost will be high and the fare will not be reduced. Users will abandon AutoNavi and choose Baidu!

At that time, Amap Taxi will go bankrupt, and all the drivers of Amap will still be unemployed!

The same goes for takeout.

When Meituan vigorously promotes drone delivery, food delivery is faster and delivery fees are lower, which is pleasing to the eyes of users.

However, Wang Yi's Ele.me continues to deliver food manually. The food delivery is slow and the delivery fee is expensive. Users will protest and give up Ele.me and choose Meituan.

As for consumers, they will consider the overall situation.

They will give up Baidu driverless taxis, which have lower taxi fares, and choose Amap taxis, which are more expensive and have human drivers.

They will give up Meituan's drone delivery, which is cheaper and faster, and choose Ele.me's riders, who are more expensive and slower to deliver food.

This is unrealistic.

The simplest thing is that cities that have not opened Carrot Run are all criticizing capital for being ruthless.

But in cities where Carrot Run is open, many people also support Carrot, thinking that taxi fares are cheaper, they won’t cause disputes with drivers, and they are safer...

It's like scolding electric cars for being unruly when driving.

But when I went out on my electric bike, I started scolding those drivers for their bad eyesight...

Everyone will think about themselves.

Even if Wang Yi doesn't use drones and still uses riders to deliver goods throughout the entire journey, the vast majority of users will then choose the lower-cost Meituan drone delivery.

Even old users of Ele.me will complain about Ele.me’s slow delivery and backward technology, and will all give up on Ele.me and choose Meituan...

Eventually, it won’t be long before Ele.me goes bankrupt and all riders lose their jobs.

By then, Meituan will be the dominant company, and the vast majority of riders will be replaced by drones and collectively lose their jobs.

Exactly the same result.

Facing the torrent of the times, each of us is like a small piece of grass, unable to resist.

Just like in the cotton textile industry, mechanized and automated production lines have become popular, and textile workers have been laid off collectively.
To be continued...
