Chapter 1188 [Topped the News Search]

Chu Changxing, who was communicating via video, said: "The general manager at the front communicated with me not long ago. He is mediating the matter and intends to promote a compromise solution. The Kunpeng-5C drone will definitely not be able to be used commercially, but the Kunpeng-5B drone is still very likely."

"Of course, the military has also said that it is not appropriate for such large cargo drones to be flying all over the country and being bought and sold at will. It is also highly likely that the Kunpeng-5B drones cannot be bought and sold at will."

"Based on this situation, Mr. Fang plans to set up a company to obtain the exclusive franchise rights, specializing in providing unmanned transportation services to third-party companies, through a compromise form of 'renting instead of buying'..."

After hearing what Chu Changxing said, the person in charge of Shunfeng was also stunned, especially paying close attention to the word "exclusive franchise".

In other words, except for the company that has obtained the exclusive franchise, no one else can do it. Doesn't this mean that only Qunxing will unilaterally form a monopoly in the field of large-scale commercial drone logistics? Doesn't this mean that if you want to use large-scale commercial drones for logistics and transportation, you can't avoid this company at all?

Then there is no bargaining power or negotiation ability at all.

After a while, the person in charge of Shunfeng looked at Chu Changxing on the video and said half-jokingly, "Boss Chu, the military suddenly intervened in this matter. Could it be that you did it on purpose?"

Chu Changxing could naturally tell that he was testing him with a joke, and was also expressing his concerns.

It is hard not to think in this situation that the military is deliberately involved so that no one can play, and then you get an exclusive franchise qualification to achieve a de facto monopoly in this field.

After a moment, Chu Changxing denied his joke solemnly on the spot: "How is it possible? You have a huge misunderstanding. How can you have such a powerful power?"

Hearing this, the person in charge of Shunfeng smiled and did not answer. He thought that it was believable that Chu Changxing did not have such power, but what about the big boss in your family?
After Fang Hong became famous, especially with his influence today, all kinds of details about him have been infiltrated and studied, and many people have done background checks on him.

There have long been rumors that his background is not simple, and that he is not a self-made man from the bottom of the society. His grandfather went to the 38th parallel in the last century, and he is a descendant of a real meritorious service.

There are also rumors that although his grandfather retired in the last century, several of his former subordinates regarded him as a mentor and appreciated his help, and now he holds a high position in the army. In other words, he still has influence here, and in short, he has a strong military background, so it is not surprising that the person in charge of Shunfeng has such thoughts or speculations.

Not to mention, Fang Hong himself can now hear directly from the heavens.

The person in charge of Shunfeng also quickly understood that no matter whether Fang Hong used some resources behind the scenes to do it intentionally, one thing is certain, that is, it is highly likely that no one else will be able to get involved in the field of large-scale drone freight logistics.

Either the galaxy will get the exclusive franchise, or large drones will really not be allowed to engage in commercial cargo logistics.

Putting aside other things, not everyone can get such an exclusive business license, at least Shunfeng cannot get it, this is especially certain.

Finally, he sighed and said to Chu Changxing: "This is a serious matter. I can't make the decision on this matter. I have to report the situation to the company headquarters, and the headquarters will make the final decision."

Chu Changxing nodded and smiled, "I understand. Isn't this the first time I greeted you when something happened? This is both an apology and a sign of sincerity."

The video call between the two parties ended here, and the person in charge of Shunfeng immediately reported the matter to the company headquarters.

Whether the 17 billion order under the draft contract should be canceled or adjusted to a new "lease instead of purchase" plan is a choice that needs to be made. In fact, the 17 billion yuan of funds itself is a small matter for a large enterprise like Shunfeng, not to mention that the money has not been paid yet.

The key point is that this sudden change made Shunfeng realize that the drone cargo logistics concept it had proposed since 2012 was likely to fail. This is the biggest impact on Shunfeng, and means that the company's long-term development strategy plan has to be adjusted.

But then again, it is not entirely a bad thing for Yu Shunfeng. At least Kunpeng Technology has "explored the way" for him in advance and known the results, so that he doesn't have to invest a lot now and then fail to use it, which would result in greater losses.

Now that we know we cannot use it and are not allowed to use it, we can make timely adjustments in this regard to reduce losses and stop losses. From this perspective, it is not entirely a bad thing. It is also very important to determine that something cannot be done.

However, Shunfeng also has to consider another issue. If a company in the Qunxing system really obtains the exclusive franchise qualification for large-scale drone commercial logistics, it means that the unmanned freight logistics industry will continue to develop.

You don’t use it, what if your competitors do?
After much deliberation, SF Express’s management team decided that if Qunxing Star really obtained the exclusive qualification, they would still have to follow up on the “rent instead of buy” approach, just as if they were purchasing drone capacity to optimize their own logistics system.

This has both good and bad sides for SF Express and other logistics companies.

The bad side is that unmanned freight logistics cannot make its own decisions and must follow other people’s rules. It also has to pay long-term rental fees and has little bargaining power because there is only one provider in the entire market and it is impossible to find a second platform to purchase transportation capacity.

The good side is that it saves you time and effort. You just need to pay the money and that’s it. You don’t need to maintain the drone yourself, and it has nothing to do with you if anything happens. For example, if there are some accidents or drone crashes, the responsibility is not on the logistics company, and the economic losses incurred will also be borne by the transportation platform. After all, the logistics company has purchased the transportation capacity and is also the party A who has purchased the service.

After comprehensive consideration, Shunfeng still feels that if Qunxing really obtains the exclusive franchise qualification for large-scale drone freight logistics, it will still have to purchase transportation capacity and rent instead of buy.

……

The news that Chu Changxing recommended the "Kunpeng-5C" UAV at the military exercise and that the drone was seized by the military was leaked from somewhere. At the same time, some performance parameter index data also leaked out, including photos of the drone and pictures of the cargo pod being airdropped to the ground, which spread rapidly on the Internet.

Especially the performance parameters of the "Kunpeng-5C" UAV shocked countless people.

It caused a huge sensation in the industry at once, Kunpeng Technology also became a hot topic in the news, more details were revealed, the popularity on the Internet soared, and netizens who were watching the show could not sit still.

[Wow, are these performance parameters real? And the cost is only 300 million RMB?]
[Woc——!]
[Hahaha, I am dying of laughter. The Southwest region was conducting an exercise a while ago. It is said that the head of Kunpeng Technology went to promote this drone after learning about it. It is said that the performance was excellent and the military was very satisfied. Then they confiscated it and demanded that it be banned from commercial use.]
[Why disable?]
[Look at this picture of a cargo pod being airdropped and you’ll know why. What the hell is this? The more you look at it, the more it looks like a missile… (covering your face.jpg)]
[Military: Oh, you have?]
[Kunpeng: Ah, you don’t?]
[Military: What? Bring it here.]
[Hahaha! ! ]
[Kunpeng: Oops, I accidentally became a substitute for Oriental Express... (manually funny)]
[I think the fact that Kunpeng made this thing and advertised it to the military proves that he didn’t think about it that way at all… I feel like even if they build a light speed engine one day, their first reaction would be “oh hey, now we can kill everyone in the industry” (tearful smile.jpg)]
[It should not be possible to stop civilian use after military use, it is better to develop both military and civilian use.]
[I once had a chance to have a bomber deliver a package to me... (covering my face.jpg)]
[Repaint it. I have some noise-removing goods to send, and they cannot be returned. Absolutely zero negative reviews (Erha.jpg)]
[So it’s not that the skills are bad, but that the skills are too good and too severe. I used too much force and ended up with too much skills… (laughing and crying.jpg)]
[Dog Master: Young man, I think...]
