Chapter 785 (1/2)

This letter of intent is from the domestic SF express, and its specific content is that it hopes to introduce UAV Express technology to China and complete the UAV logistics network laying in Xiangjiang city.

To be honest, after reading this document, Jiang Chen's expression is very strange.

The concept of ”UAV express” has been put forward a long time ago, and it is not the first creation of futureman group.

As early as June 2013, the US company RN tested UAV networks in Haiti and the Republic of Dominica. The UAV can carry 2 kg of weight and fly for 7 km. After completing the preliminary planning of UAV network, the company plans to establish a huge international UAV transportation network and global supply system of UAV accessories. At the same time, it is also planned to build charging base stations so that UAVs can land along the way for charging.

In September of the same year, the domestic SF express independently developed dispatch UAV completed the internal test, and carried out trial operation in some areas. The built-in rotor system can be used by the UAV to reach the destination within 2 meters, and the flight path error can be set automatically by the UAV within 2 meters.

However, neither RN nor SF has been able to promote UAV logistics to a large extent. The former seems to be suitable only for poor countries in the third world, while the latter is only suitable for poor mountainous areas in China.

Although UAV logistics can significantly improve the efficiency of distribution, as well as reduce labor costs. However, the concept of ”UAV express” has not been realized due to its limitations in bad weather and human destruction during flight.

Penglai is probably the only modern city in the world that has realized UAV logistics. However, the reason why this can be achieved is that UAV technology is advanced, but the more critical factor is the public security efficiency of Penglai City.

If you don't know, just look at the news some time ago: ”a guy in Guangzhou sent moon cake coupons to his girlfriend with a UAV. He was shot down and robbed by the square dancing lady. When the young man found out that he had been hijacked, he rushed to find the aunts for compensation, but unexpectedly, the aunt not only denied that she shot down the UAV, but also said that she was almost injured by the UAV ”

let alone the policy, the management of UAV has always been in the gray area, and there seems to be no room for UAV logistics to become bigger and stronger in terms of civil conditions. Shunfeng express wants to introduce a series of UAVs from the future Renzhong to complete the construction of UAV logistics network in China. To be honest, Jiang Chen is not optimistic about their decision.

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

For the completion of Xiangjiang City UAV logistics network, Shunfeng side of the offer is 500 million US dollars. Jiang Chen estimated that 500 UAV terminals should be able to cover all areas of Xiangjiang City, and about 50000 UAVs would be enough to meet the demand of Xiangjiang city.

According to the production cost of 3 UAVs, one UAV is about 3000 US dollars. Compared with RN's 5000 US dollars UAV, it has the advantages both in technology and price.

The cost of establishing this UAV logistics network for SF in Xiangjiang will not exceed US $200 million. Compared with its $500 million offer, this is almost 125% profit!

Moreover, if Xiangjiang City, as a pilot city, proves the feasibility of UAV logistics network promotion to the mainland, SF's next step is undoubtedly to expand the UAV logistics network to Shenzhen, followed by Guangzhou, and then

think about how many cities in China? How many express companies are there?

Such a huge market is an inexhaustible gold mine!

”Your expression tells me you're interested.” Looking at Jiang Chen's expression, Xia Shiyu pursed his lips and said with a smile.

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

To be honest, although he didn't understand the details of the cooperation, he understood the prospect of the whole market in an instant. There are 283 prefecture level cities, 374 county-level cities and 10 express companies in China. Even if the average city can only earn 500 million dollars, the scale of this market is already terrible.

”I am also optimistic about this agreement. No matter whether SF express can succeed in the pilot operation in Xiangjiang City, there is no risk for us. But I have not agreed to their proposal for the time being. ”

”Why?” Jiang Chen looks at Xia Shiyu with great interest.
