Chapter 38 Its over, the rider is going to lose his job
As if he had discovered a new world, Lin Xiaohang shared with other colleagues in surprise, "Hey, [Feixia Takeaway] has launched a drone to deliver food?"
A colleague who was close to Lin Xiaohang put his head over, glanced at it, and then turned his head away.
He said casually, "Drone food delivery, Lituan food delivery, and Taobao food delivery have all been done before. They are just gimmicks."
"What gimmick?" Lin Xiaohang asked curiously.
“The so-called drone takeout of Lituan Takeout is like this. You place an order on the platform, and then the rider goes to the store where you placed the order to pick up the takeout, and then delivers the takeout to a special drone parking platform, and puts the takeout into the drone.
Inside the aircraft, the drone then flies to the nearest drone parking platform, and the rider here picks up the meal and then works hard to deliver it to you."
"This is food delivery by drone! Do you understand?" the colleague said in a serious tone.
Lin Xiaohang felt a chill and said, "Don't explain that a drone delivers food, but you also express the artistic conception of Yuhuatian's father-in-law? What if people who don't know see it and think you are a fake? How bad it would be."
"
The colleague was still feeling proud at first, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Co-author Lin Xiaohang was mocking him for being a real eunuch.
He immediately glared at Lin Xiaohang and retorted, "You are the eunuch!"
"Haha!" Lin Xiaohang smiled and turned his attention back to the food delivery platform. He found that the delivery fee for using [drone food delivery] was as high as ten yuan.
The average delivery fee for riders is only 2-3 yuan. On rainy days or special circumstances, the delivery fee is usually 4-5 yuan.
However, [Feixia Takeout]’s [Drone Food Delivery] delivery fee is as high as 10 yuan.
"This is too high!" Lin Xiaohang thought and said this.
"What's too high?" A colleague poked his head over.
"The shipping fee!" Lin Xiaohang showed him the phone.
"The delivery fee of ten yuan is a bit high." The colleague looked at it, nodded, and said, "But this is not surprising. Think about it, there are two riders in front and one drone serving you.
, If you don’t charge a higher delivery fee, how can you recover the cost? If not enough people order drone food delivery, it is estimated that the delivery fee of 10 yuan per time will be lost to grandma’s family!”
"I always feel that [Feixia Takeaway] will not come up with such a meaningless [drone food delivery]. It must be a breakthrough in technology before it is released and applied." Lin Xiaohang said.
"Why?"
"Because the parent company of [Feixia Takeout] is [Chaoqun Group]!" Lin Xiaohang said matter-of-factly.
"..." The colleague was speechless. He asked Lin Xiaohang, "Do you know how difficult it is to make real [drone delivery]?"
"Anyway, I feel that [Chaoqun Group] must have made a technological breakthrough in this area before it can be applied." Lin Xiaohang said stubbornly.
The colleague was speechless at him, and he said, "You can order whatever you like. Anyway, the one I ordered from [Lituan Takeout] at the same restaurant is more than ten yuan cheaper than the one delivered by your drone."
"What's more than ten yuan more expensive?" Lin Xiaohang said with a bright eye, "Just think that I support the technological development of [Chaoqun Group]."
With that said, Lin Xiaohang ordered takeout and chose [drone delivery]!
But after selecting [Drone Delivery], the ordering process did not end, but a prompt popped up:
[The system recognizes that the user's address is located on the upper floor of an office building. Please go to the window on that floor where takeaways can be received and take a photo.]
"Huh?" Lin Xiaohang exclaimed, but he didn't say much. Instead, he followed the software's prompts and walked to an open window in their company and selected [Location] and [Photography].
Then, the software popped up a prompt saying "The address has been determined, please wait patiently for food delivery, thank you", but it disappeared.
This takeout order was placed successfully.
Lin Xiaohang walked back to his original position.
His colleague looked at him doubtfully, "What are you doing there?"
"The system requires positioning and taking pictures." Lin Xiaohang said.
The colleague frowned.
Lin Xiaohang noticed this and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I remember that drone food delivery doesn't have to be so troublesome. You can just place an order normally!" said a colleague.
"I don't know either! Anyway, we'll find out later!" Lin Xiaohang said.
"Yes!" The colleague nodded and asked the restaurant where Lin Xiaohang ordered takeout. Within ten seconds, he ordered a takeout in the same restaurant as him. He wanted to see whether it was a normal rider or a drone.
The delivery time is faster?
After the two of them ordered takeout, they continued to fish.
I’ve almost finished my work in the morning, but now it’s a bit boring at this time, as I’m just waiting to get off work.
Fifteen minutes later.
It was only 11:45 at this time.
Lin Xiaohang suddenly received a call.
The voice on the phone was an electronic sound synthesized by the system, which made him realize that it was an intelligent program.
Lin Xiaohang only heard the electronic voice of the system saying, "Mr. Lin, your takeout has been delivered to the designated address. Please go to the window to pick up the meal. Pay attention to safety during the pick up process."
"Ah? So fast?" Lin Xiaohang was a little surprised. It felt like it didn't take long after ordering the meal. Well, no, it didn't take long to work!
"What are you doing?" A colleague who was happily fishing together turned to ask.
"The takeout has been delivered." Lin Xiaohang replied.
"So fast? This [Chaoqun Group]'s drone food delivery is really good! Just ask him to put it at the front desk." My colleague said, "It's only been less than 20 minutes."
"15 minutes, I just looked at it." Lin Xiaohang corrected, paused, and then said, "Besides, it doesn't seem to be delivered by a rider."
"What do you mean?" My colleague frowned.
Lin Xiaohang stopped talking. He walked to the window and opened it. There was a drone holding a takeout box suspended outside.
"Please state your username and phone number."
Electronic sounds from the drone came from the wind.
"This..." Lin Xiaohang was shocked, but he still said it reflexively, and then he saw the takeout box under the drone opened from both sides, revealing a full nine-square grid of takeout, and at the same time, a board extended from the bottom.
The window is used to prevent accidents when users pick up their meals.
"This is such a comprehensive consideration." Lin Xiaohang thought to himself.
"Please take away the fifth takeaway. Please note that everything you do is captured by the system's camera." The electronic voice on the drone prompted.
"I won't take more takeaways from others." Lin Xiaohang said speechlessly as he took away his own takeaways.
“Wish you a pleasant meal!”
The board of the takeout box was retracted, the box was closed again, and after the drone made this sound, it flew away to other places.
It also has other takeaways to deliver.
Lin Xiaohang returned to his work station with the still-warm takeout.
My colleagues seemed to be reading a fantasy, and the first thing they said was, "It's over, the rider is going to lose his job!"
