Procter & Gamble is the leader, followed by a series of American brands such as McDonald's, KFC, and Yum Brands.
Since the trade war started, they have become cannon fodder. This was something they did not expect. They were removed from the shelves of the three major groups in China and also encountered resistance from the public.
The most frightening thing is that Chinese brands, led by Longteng Group, have popularized alternative products as quickly as possible.
This is the most terrifying thing. Under the leadership of Longteng Group, their market in China is being crazily backlogged.
At the same time, these three major groups control the media and public opinion, and during this period, shady news about these products has been continuously exposed.
Coupled with the government's covert support, they were unlucky. Their stocks fell one after another like a roller coaster.
Behind the scenes, the wolves on Wall Street took the opportunity to short their stocks. Since the trade war started, the stocks of these companies have been a tragedy.
Faced with this situation, the U.S. government is powerless. These are all voluntary actions of the people, and they also want American companies to learn from them, but American companies simply don’t buy it.
No American capitalist is willing to take risks. This is no joke. If you dare to follow the example of Longteng Group, you may kill yourself.
They don't have Zhang Fan's courage and strength, and even if they did, they wouldn't be willing to do this. Zhang Fan has made it clear that he doesn't want the American market, but they don't dare to say that he doesn't want the Chinese market.
So now, even though companies like Procter & Gamble are having a very difficult time in China, they still have not announced their withdrawal from China.
Everyone knows the situation Apple is currently in after it withdraws from China. The stock has fallen sharply, and its annual profits have dropped significantly.
Apple doesn't want to return to China, but they can't come back. The Chinese government won't let them come back. Although China hasn't said anything about it, they have already guessed it. China must have some evidence.
They knew what they were doing, and the only reason why they didn't break up now was for mutual benefit.
The U.S. government also knows very well, so it just keeps silent on Apple.
The trade war is still going on, but the United States has not reaped any benefits. On the contrary, it is now causing discord in the country.
The President of the United States stopped talking to Zhang Fan. He didn't expect Zhang Fan to be so bold. So now that loudmouth started to make trouble all over the world. In a word, it was very lively.
The second Global E-commerce Carnival is coming again, and people are focusing on the carnival. But what many caring people see are changes.
In this era, one year will produce many new things. One year is enough to produce many changes.
If an industry is said to be outdated, it will fall behind. If a company is said to be bankrupt, it will go bankrupt. Especially in recent years, many people have felt uncomfortable.
There are many problems in the global economy, including within China. Now it is also a period of trade war, and life has become extremely difficult.
Lanhai City, the unmanned research center of Longteng Group. Zhang Fanda led a group of people here.
Ma Baili, Ma Xunfei, and the CEOs of several major domestic express delivery companies. After they arrived here, they were immediately shocked by what was there.
Longteng Group has already started investing in unmanned vehicles. The unmanned delivery vehicles they invested in last year’s Global E-commerce Carnival left a big impression on them.
However, the number of these unmanned delivery vehicles invested last year was not large, and they were mainly experimental. Since the unmanned delivery vehicles were put into use for a year, they have been improved and upgraded again and again.
And now, what they see is version 2.0 of the unmanned delivery vehicle. To be precise, it should be an unmanned delivery robot.
The round little head and big belly look very cute. The internal space is cleverly designed to accommodate more things.
It is also equipped with a 2.0 artificial intelligence system, which has more powerful functions. It is also equipped with two multi-functional robotic arms. This robotic arm has very strong functions and can open doors, knock on doors, press elevators, etc.
In addition to the wheels, there are four multi-functional mechanical feet at the bottom. The four mechanical feet can allow the robot to steadily climb stairs, overcome obstacles, etc.
In the R&D center, these big guys personally watched the robot's drill. It was an old-fashioned residential building with a complex environment. But the robot was able to skillfully climb to the sixth floor, and then take out the express delivery and deliver it to the customer.
In the simulated office building, the robot enters the building. Then it enters the elevator, presses the elevator button, opens some doors, and delivers it directly to the customer.
The most surprising thing is that this thing can also ask for directions. Many people swallowed their saliva when they saw this function.
This robot is so powerful that it can completely replace couriers. If this thing is used on a large scale, couriers will be laid off.
"Not only that, our robots can also charge themselves. Our charging interface is the same as that of electric vehicles. At the same time, these robots can also take unmanned shuttle buses as transportation. To put it simply, they are unmanned
couriers, and the original unmanned delivery vehicles have become their means of transportation..."
The person in charge of R&D said seriously. The unmanned delivery vehicle has changed. The delivery vehicle no longer pulls express delivery, but these robots.
These delivery vehicles are like buses, stopping at fixed stops. Then the unmanned robots within this range will get off by themselves, and then deliver the express delivery within their range.
After delivering the express, return to the station and take the bus back to the headquarters.
"Mr. Zhang, how much does such a courier robot cost? How long is its service life? How efficient is it?"
A boss couldn't help but ask.
"The hardware has a service life of ten years, and the software can be upgraded for free. Within the normal range, a robot can deliver 30 to 50 orders a day, which should be fine. As for the price, I'm not sure about that yet..."
Zhang Fan smiled and said, everyone understands. The reason why Zhang Fan asked them to come here was just because he had some ideas.
Otherwise, Longteng Group can completely invest in it itself, but for everyone, we still have to consider the cost issue.
If using people is more expensive than robots, then consider using robots. If using people is cheaper than using robots, then consider using people.
Cost determines everything, and what everyone cares about is profit. But everyone has seen a trend in these things, that is, the unmanned era is rapidly approaching.
Since last year, unmanned supermarkets of the three major groups have been built across the country. Especially the Longteng Future Supermarket under the Longteng Group.
Currently, Longteng Future Supermarket has hundreds of stores across the country. And the business is very good. The unmanned era is accelerating in China. The arrival of an era means that the industry will undergo changes.
