Chapter 210

After Henry's order, ICQ company quickly full speed operation, began to develop virtual community, design all kinds of virtual goods! At the same time, ICQ game platform is also ready to develop, and independent development of chess and card games, Texas ~ ~ poker, bridge, chess, go, baccarat, landlords

The most popular card game in the United States is Texas ~ ~ poker, which can be said to be popular throughout the United States.

Baccarat is popular in Europe, but it's not called "doulandlord" now. It originated from Hanyang area in Wuhan, Hubei Province. It was called "run fast". It was officially named "doulandlord" in 1995, and then it became popular all over China!

In order to speed up the development progress, ICQ company began to expand and recruit a large number of program developers!

The Los Angeles Times made a special report on this, saying that ICQ company interviews hundreds of people every day. What is the intention of ICQ company in such a hurry to expand?

The outside world is guessing that after ICQ company joined the Nicholas group, there will be a big move, but at present, ICQ company has not disclosed any information to the outside world. A spokesman for ICQ said that ICQ has occupied the largest market share in the field of instant messaging, and the company will carry out diversified development based on ICQ instant chat software!!!

With the participation of ICQ, Nicholas international e-commerce company is becoming more powerful!

Through the marketing of wish list, the number of online shopping users has increased sharply. At present, the number of users of PayPal has exceeded 10 million, and the daily payment or transfer has made the capital flow of PayPal exceed one billion US dollars. PayPal charges a renewal fee from it. What it has earned is a pot full!

In particular, the Internet has been connected to the world, and with the increase of international transfer business, the role of PayPal has become increasingly prominent: not only the procedures are simple and fast, but also the transfer cost is low, so it is loved by many international trading companies! Currently, PayPal is used as a third-party payment throughout Europe!

In the United States, there are various third-party payment methods imitating PayPal, but PayPal accounts for more than 90% of the market share.

AOL is also involved in e-commerce - AOL market. AOL pay is the payment method they launched. AOL market is supported by FedEx and UPS, with 10% and 15% shares respectively! Therefore, AOL is doing a good job in logistics!

In addition to AOL market, American Peapod company moved its non-staple food store to PC as early as 1989. Later, it saw that Nicholas shopping network developed rapidly and became a company with a market value of more than 10 billion. Therefore, it was stimulated and decided to make a big contribution in this industry. At present, it has developed into the third e-commerce company in the United States!

At the end of 1990, the fourth largest e-commerce website in the United States was called j.c.penney website. This is the first company that physical department stores enter the network. The website is developing very fast and will soon surpass panpo company, ranking the third largest e-commerce company in the United States!

Except AOL market, which uses its own aolpay and does not support PayPal, the other two e-commerce companies choose to support PayPal.

PayPal can already be used to charge phone bills, while in California, New York and a few other states, PayPal can also be used to pay for utilities! The function of PayPal is more and more perfect, and it is more and more convenient to use! If you forget to bring your bank card or credit card when you watch a movie in IMDB cinema, you can use paypal for payment. In addition, Paypal will give a certain amount of overdraft according to the user's credit and property status!

In other words, even if there is no money in PayPal, it can also be consumed!

……

Nicholas group soon acquired symbol two-dimensional code company, and then began to improve the warehouse management system, at the same time, began to make a variety of scanning guns!

Nicholas's warehouse management system is becoming more and more intelligent. The bar code is pasted on the shelves. When the goods are in stock, the employees scan the shelves with a scanning gun, and then scan the goods. Next time, when picking up the goods, the warehouse management system will directly tell the delivery clerk where to pick up the goods, and set the optimal picking up route. Picking up the goods one by one according to the route can save a lot of time. For example, in the packaging location, the staff just need to pick up the scanning gun to scan the goods, and then they can know the size, weight, and type of goods. Then the computer system will work out which kind of packing box to use and the size of the packing box. Then, the staff just need to choose the packing box recommended by the computer system!

In fact, Henry even considered developing robots to handle orders!

The labor cost will certainly be greater than the robot cost, but with the current technology, the robot developed may not be able to handle the task! But that's one of the goals. When WiFi technology is developed, the robot can be developed. WiFi is covered in every corner of the warehouse. The robot connects to the server through WiFi and executes commands!

In fact, with the current technology, we can develop some simple warehouse robots, such as AGV. AGV is simply a delivery truck. If you add two tentacles, you can grab the goods and become a robot! It seems very simple, but in fact it is very complicated.

AGV control system needs to solve three main problems

First, where am I?

Second, where am I going?

Third, how can I get there?

To sum up, there are three main technologies in AGV control system: AGV navigation, AGV path planning, AGV guidance control!

At present, AGV control system is widely used, and the prospect is bright, the development speed is fast!

The warehouse robot is a bit more difficult, because it needs to add two tentacles to pick up and place goods.

AGV technology adds tentacles, and then can be combined with shelves to form a logistics sorting system using robots. This kind of creativity is very outstanding. If we invest in R & D in technology, the possibility of realization is very great!

Previous generations, Amazon's robot processing orders, fully automatic words, the preparation rate of 99%, it is awesome! After entering the Amazon warehouse, I saw rows of robots standing there. The scene was like a blockhouse. Did you think you came to the robot world!!!

Henry thought of this, and then spoke to Geely Hutt in detail.

Considering that WiFi has not yet been developed, Henry does not expect the warehouse robot to be fully automated, but the AGV control system and the internal structure and shape of the robot have been studied earlier. When the technology is mature and WiFi is added, the automatic management of the warehouse robot can be realized!

Geely Hutt was stunned by what Henry said, and his heart was full of doubt. However, seeing that what Henry said was so firm, there was no refutation.

"Recruit talents in AGV and robotics, and then set up a Nicholas robotics department. I hope that in four years' time, this department can make some achievements!" Said Henry to Geely Hutt!

"OK, no problem!" Geely Hutt nodded!

Henry thought about it and said: "for those third-party businesses who have entered the company's website but have no experience in B2C warehouse logistics, they can choose to outsource the back-end logistics to Nicholas, and this way can effectively dilute the cost of Nicholas's warehouse logistics center! So, go and discuss with them! "

"Yes
