Chapter 586 The Halo Space Station Is Completed, and the Manned Plan Is Launched (Seeking a Monthly Ticket)

The smart city is officially opened, and more and more companies are renting office buildings in it, and merchants have applied to settle in one after another.

In terms of shops, Xinghai Group does not charge fixed rent, but takes a certain percentage of turnover or profit as rent and management fees. Merchants are prohibited from collecting money, and the cash register system must be unified.

It is also difficult to collect them secretly, as every store is equipped with surveillance cameras. This is very similar to the model of major shopping malls, instead of purely collecting rent, it is actually equivalent to the partnership model.

All merchants must pass an assessment before they are allowed to settle in. For example, for catering, branded catering is given priority. In addition to strict compliance with hygiene, environmental protection, ingredients, price setting and other rules, it is also required to be equipped with smart devices provided by Xinghai Group.

It is not enough money to settle in a smart city. Before joining, you must submit a decoration plan, operation plan and product pricing plan to the smart city project team of Xinghai Group, and compete with other businesses. Whoever has the best plan will win, not just financial strength , let alone a high rent ratio, it must conform to the characteristics and rules of the smart city.

In order to ensure reasonable prices in smart cities, merchants are not allowed to price products too high. For example, the profit margin of a certain type of catering must not exceed 300%, that is, the cost of 50 yuan (including labor and others), and the price cannot exceed 200 yuan.

If the price is too high, tourists who come to the smart city must have a very bad impression of the smart city.

If it is a very distinctive restaurant, it does not necessarily require a branded restaurant. Even if the business is average, the Xinghai Group will allow it to continue to settle in, and the merchant will not have too much rent pressure. Anyway, the Xinghai Group gets a share, and the merchant also gets a share.

If the customer's score is too low, the cooperation may be cancelled.

It is to require merchants not only to do a good job in quality, but also to do a good job in sanitation and service, so as to be well received by customers.

The Xinghai Group's set of rules can ensure that passengers can eat safe food at reasonable prices.

It is no longer like going to a certain scenic spot and being ripped off by merchants when traveling.

Except for the catering industry, other merchants are required to abide by the business rules of Xinghai Group. They need to meet certain standards before entering the smart city. For example, they need to have certain technical content and innovation, which can bring more technological innovation and development to the smart city. power.

This management model of smart cities not only safeguards the rights and interests of consumers in smart cities, but also provides strong support for the sustainable development of smart cities. It is a new urban management model worthy of reference and promotion by various tourist areas.

Judging from the hot sale of new houses and the overcrowding of the whole city in the past few days, all businesses are very eager to settle in the smart city.

The number of shops in the smart city, how they are laid out, and the business scope and requirements of each shop are announced in detail on the official website.

For example, the No. 1 store on the right side of the main gate of Xinghai Mingzhu is a smart small store in nature. If various businesses compete, they have to submit their plans to compete with their peers.

On August 15th, Xinghai Group separated Smart City from Xinghai Group, and Zhou Chen was no longer in charge of smart city related work.

No matter how well a smart city is done in the future, it will have some negative impacts, which is not good for the Xinghai Group brand.

After the establishment of an independent company, the word "Xinghai" is no longer included, and it is named "H City Smart City Co., Ltd.", and Xinghai Group holds 65% of the shares.

Maybe it's just a change of skin, but it can also leave the Xinghai Group aside.

Such an approach can effectively reduce the negative impact of smart cities on the brand reputation of Xinghai Group. Smart cities operate independently and are more flexible and efficient, which is conducive to the development and growth of smart cities themselves.

In short, this is a wise decision, and it is a good choice for both Xinghai Group and Smart City.

...

Yu Province, Xincheng.

The chairman of Shoudonglai Supermarket, Yudong, was inspecting the operation of the supermarket in Xincheng, when he suddenly received a phone call, which indicated that ZF Xucheng grew up with Shishi.

"Hello, leader."

"Dong, where are you now? There is good news."

"Inspecting the company here in Xincheng, is there any good news?"

"It's like this. The vice president of H City Smart City Co., Ltd. called to inquire about your personal number. He said that there is cooperation. It is very likely that he wants your supermarket to participate in the smart city's supermarket bidding or something."

"Leader, is this true?" Yudong was a little surprised. If it was true, he could send an invitation to the company. He was really afraid of meeting a liar.

He is required to have seen the supermarkets in smart cities. The requirements are extremely high, and small brands are probably useless, so he feels that there is no hope, and he doesn't want to join in the fun.

"Why are you lying to me? The other party and I are already acquaintances. It was not him who appointed your supermarket, but Mu Yang, the chairman of Xinghai Group, who casually said, 'It doesn't have to be a big brand, as long as the service is good and the quality is good. Even if it is a small brand, we have the ability to support a big brand. Slender East Supermarket is quite good. Why do we invite international brand supermarkets in our own shopping mall? Their leaders noticed it. Is it true, when you arrive H City Smart City Service Center will know."

"Okay, thank you leader."

"You're welcome, I also hope that you will develop better. You can take the initiative to call and consult later. This is a good opportunity for your company to develop vigorously. As long as you can get on the ship of Xinghai Group, you can have everything you want."

"Well, yes, thank you leader, then I'll hang up first and call right away."

Yudong was very excited, and at the same time he was very grateful to Leader Shi and Mu Yang.

After a while, Leader Shi sent over his phone number, and he called in person.

After a few minutes, end the call.

Yudong’s mood was hard to calm down. The other party said, if he is willing, let him take a team to the H City Smart City Service Center to discuss with him about the development of smart city supermarkets. Xinghai Group provides a technical team to build unmanned supermarkets. Worry about funding.

If there is not that will, they will choose from various supermarket brands.

Of course he is willing to do such a good thing.

The unmanned supermarkets in smart cities are not really unmanned.

Instead, the human cost of a large number of cashiers is omitted, but marketing, replenishment, shelf arrangement, cleaning and other tasks still require manual operations, or adding some robot operations, which cannot fully realize "unmanned", at least not at present. of.

The other party also explained that if businesses can’t take the needs of consumers as the core pursuit, and pursue no one without no one, then all innovations are useless.

Hearing what the other party said, Yu Dong also understood that the other party did not understand.

After calming down, he has been in the supermarket for so many years and understands that whether shopping is convenient and whether the products are cheap are the most concerned issues for consumers. If you add good service, it will be even better.

Yudong doesn't know what level of smart city technology has reached. He has a little understanding of the concept of unmanned supermarkets, and he is also aware of its drawbacks.

If it is face recognition payment, will there be inaccurate recognition when the flow of people is dense?

Also, if the product is sensed by attaching RFID, the consumer avoids the camera and tears off the RFID sticker on the product, the box will not be able to sense the product in the user's hand, and the door will automatically open.

When he planned to go to City H to discuss these issues with the other party, he still made it clear. Since people believed him, he asked Dong to also clarify the possible problems.

...

As time passed, more and more businesses settled in the smart city.

On August 20th, all real estate projects in the smart city began to process house payments and contracts. The owners of the full payment quickly got the keys, simply renovated the new house, bought electrical appliances, and planned to move into the new house as soon as possible.

It has been more than two weeks since the opening of the smart city on August 5. Although the number of people who travel to the smart city every day is not as popular as those days, there are still millions of people visiting it every day. Most of the people come from outside. over here.

In order to speed up the opening and operation of new businesses, they worked overtime day and night to decorate stores and stepped up training. Smart cities began to have new migrant workers living in them and began to glow with vitality.

It can be said that smart cities change a lot every day.

After another ten days,

The number of residents and migrant workers in the smart city has reached 30,000, and the growth rate is very fast every day. Many businesses have opened for business.

All smart systems in the city are officially in full operation, such as smart logistics. Residents experience the joy of new shopping, shopping directly at home, buying oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and rice. As long as the store delivers quickly, the logistics box can arrive at home within one minute. .

The logistics fee is not expensive. If you start the transportation from the store in the community, it costs one yuan each time, and every additional 5 kilograms will cost you one yuan more, and you can transport up to 20 kilograms at a time.

Outside the community, if it exceeds one kilometer, the fee will be doubled for every additional kilometer.

Even, you can try on new clothes from clothing stores at home, without going to the store to shop at all.

Some merchants are willing to bear logistics costs for promotion.

For rich people, time is money.

For example, a resident is at home, logs in to the shopping system through the shopping touch screen, looks at the clothes of a certain store 2.5 kilometers away, chooses a few clothes, and there are clothes prices on them. A deposit must be paid first, which depends on how the merchant formulates Transaction rules, what percentage deposit is required.

Of course, you can also have a direct video chat with the store.

The resident confirms the try-on, and the merchant throws a few clothes that the customer likes into the logistics box in the store, and confirms the transportation. The logistics box can drive in the urban transportation channel at a maximum speed of 20 m/s. After about two minutes, The customer will receive the logistics box.

A few pieces of clothing are less than 5 kg, and the one-way logistics fee is 3 yuan.

Residents finally choose the right one, and can choose to "buy" in the shopping system, or it's okay if they don't operate, and the merchant will eventually verify the returned item.

Then put the unnecessary ones back into the logistics box. After receiving the logistics box, the merchant will see which clothes are missing, directly deduct the cost, make up for the excess, and finally complete the transaction between the two parties.

This is the convenience brought by smart logistics, and many residents quickly fell in love with smart logistics.

In the smart city shopping system, you can quickly find the housekeeping services you want.

For example, an old man has a heart attack and directly calls the family management system "Xiaobai".

"Xiaobai, help call the 120 ambulance, I have a heart attack."

"Okay, I'll help you deal with it right away."

If the family management system agrees to install a camera, Xiaobai's family management system can automatically analyze and find out which family member it is, and send the information to the hospital in the previous health checkup calendar.

If you are unwilling to install a camera, you can analyze it based on the sound.

Under normal circumstances, the home management system will not interfere with residents unless the residents wake up the system.

The hospital quickly received emergency information, including the owner's address, age, and past medical history, and dispatched a vehicle quickly.

In this case, the elderly may already have difficulty walking, or even fall ill. When the doctor arrives, Xiaobai can help the owner open the door of the room, and the community also activates the emergency channel.

Emergency greenways will be activated throughout the city. For example, the time of traffic lights may be speeded up or slowed down to allow ambulances to pass unimpeded.

If it's not an emergency and you don't want to drive, call directly: "Xiaobai, I want to go to the hospital, call a taxi for me."

"Okay, it's been arranged for you."

Then, you can leave the house directly and take the elevator directly to the underground garage.

After about a minute or two, Xinghai Group's driverless express car arrives at your underground garage, and even uses your face to identify whether it is the car you called.

If it is confirmed, the door will be opened automatically. After you sit in the car, the express car will automatically close the door. Of course, it can also close the door for you.

Once you confirm the departure again, you will be sent to the gate of the hospital soon, and the express bus will be parked in a nearby parking space, and the fee will be automatically deducted from your family account at home.

It is so convenient. At present, there are not enough express buses in smart cities, and they can only be used by residents.

If you are a passenger, you cannot enjoy this service for the time being.

If you want to eat delicious food, you can lie on the sofa and wake up Xiaobai directly, "Xiaobai, order me a takeaway, fried crayfish with green onions"

"Master, how many people are there?"

"For two people, please recommend it. I don't want to wait too long."

"According to the current order status of various merchants, I recommend XX Crayfish, a merchant 2.1 kilometers away, with a score of 9.2, 158 yuan for two people, and free shipping. Master, how spicy do you like to eat? There is *** on it"

"Okay, let's make it slightly spicy, confirm the order, I'm too hungry, let the store put more chopped green onions."

"Okay, the merchant has accepted the order, and the specific information has been communicated. After deducting the fee of 158 yuan, it will be delivered in 15 minutes."

The home management system will report according to the status of the store shelves. It is only because all businesses are connected to the Internet that the perfect logistics of the smart city can be truly realized.

Home cleaning robots, window cleaners, air conditioners... as long as they are smart appliances, they can be managed by a networked home management system, and technicians will come to help and provide services to truly realize smart homes.

Some time ago, some netizens said that the intelligence of smart cities is not very good.

After experiencing many services, some homeowners directly recorded a video, experiencing all services such as car calling, shopping, housekeeping, etc., and said, "Technology changes life, and it is cheap. It is worth spending money to buy this house." After recording to the video platform.

Soon, the video became popular, and netizens exclaimed, "It's really fun!"

"It's not that it's not smart, but that we need to discover many functions and services slowly. Xinghai Group has established this platform and completed the basic framework. The rest depends on how merchants and residents play."

"Actually, the technical team of Xinghai Group has already thought of it. It's just that everyone hasn't discovered the function yet."

"It's really convenient, hey, it's a pity you can't call me a girl."

"Damn, who said this is not a smart life, it feels so perfect, I especially like the one who buys clothes at home."

"The house is not big, but this kind of life is too enviable. It's a pity that you can't afford a house in a smart city. The cheapest small-area suite costs nearly ten million."

...

Smart cities are bringing more and more surprises to the public. Many residents of smart cities also want to move into their new homes as soon as possible after seeing the video.

The smart life that can be realized in a smart city can also be realized in the Xinghai Group's residences, but they are used to the technological life of the company, so they don't feel any fuss.
