Cold chain for 20 years

Chapter 272 Luan Pingxin's Business Opportunities
Hu Shutong accompanied Liang Lu for a walk in the park, and talked a lot with Liang Lu during the process.

The layout of the cold chain park is similar. Where it can be seen, the operating efficiency is the most intuitive thing. All the moving lines in the park serve this purpose, regardless of whether it is between functional areas or within each functional area.

The real competitiveness of cold chain parks in the current era is actually more in invisible places, such as the application of intelligent delivery technology, screening technology that reduces human intervention, and the use of various materials in cold storage, etc.

Liang Lu realized that in the past, large-scale cold chain parks were easy to attract attention, and "quantity" was a big criterion. Nowadays, cold chain enterprises that only focus on scale and ignore technology will only step into a dead end step by step.

The ignoring of technology mentioned here does not mean not using technology, but not recognizing the profound changes brought about by technological changes in the cold chain.The double-edged sword of the market can be held in one's hand and used for one's own use, but it can also be cut off in the competition because others wield it better.

Some old parks are still singing the tune that they can run the cold chain with a warehouse and a car. In fact, this is a fatal thinking.Where is the brightest sword in today's cold chain environment, which is basically consolidated?It is technology.

Hu Shutong has a deeper understanding of this. In addition to the promotion of the industry's own needs, technological change is also inseparable from the compulsion of international trends. When the time comes to the second decade of the 21st century, global climate issues have become more prominent. Unprecedented heat.

The cold chain industry involves many chemical materials and emission issues. High efficiency, energy saving, environmental protection and emission reduction are also major issues that our country is striving to grasp.New cold chain equipment that is more energy-saving and environmentally friendly will usher in a high point of development. This is also a "compulsory course" in the development of cold chain. Like other industries, the era of blindly pursuing output value is gone forever.

Taking polyurethane foaming agent as an example, the first-generation blowing agent chlorofluorocarbon F11 proved to be the most perfect foaming agent for polyurethane, but because of the signing of the Montreal agreement, chlorofluorocarbon foaming agent has been completely replaced due to environmental pollution .At present, hydrochlorofluorocarbons can only be used as a transition in China, but there are still environmental problems, and they will be replaced again before 2020.

The update of technology and the leap of the times are closely related to the cold chain. Perhaps this is the difficulty of becoming bigger and stronger in this field. We have many gaps that have not been filled, lack of talents, standards, and self-discipline, but you must Think holistically, look forward with vigilance, and maintain insight into technology.

The cold chain is still "cold" and "chain", but every time it takes a step forward, it must have the awareness of conscious integration.

On a bright and beautiful spring morning, the last chill in the world disappeared, the willows sprouted buds, and the warm wind blew on the face.

Two cars are driving towards Tongxing. Luan Pingxin is sitting in the car, leading a team of Qingyan Refrigeration, each of whom is an elite soldier. something loud.

Luan Pingxin knows Tongxing's R&D center well. In the past two years, he has mostly done some planning and received some targeted orders, which is far from enough in Luan Pingxin's opinion.

It's not that she doesn't do these things, but from her point of view, she is far away from the word "research and development". Besides, even if she makes a top-level plan, she will only get some commissions and praise from Party A in the end. Xing has not substantially improved.

In Luan Pingxin's heart, she is planning a patent road. She has thought about many things before. With the general direction of the industry of "green, emission reduction, energy saving, and sustainable development", she feels that the best is ushered in. opportunity.

Where should the focus of Tongxing R&D Center be placed?
It is a product!
That is to say, if the new energy-saving and environmentally friendly cold chain equipment is the main part of the R&D center, Tongxing cannot become the owner of the manufacturer, but Tongxing can sell technical patents and hand over the research and development results to major cold chain equipment manufacturers for realization.A park planning proposal and a core technology patent are not of the same order of magnitude in return, and Tongxing can even take a commission based on sales.

As for R&D qualifications, although Tongxing is lacking, Qingyan Refrigeration's experience in the past few years is second to none in the industry.Luan Pingxin didn't think about any strategic cooperation, and it was so grand that it was useless except to earn more attention. This time, the action was joint research and development, leaving himself sufficient right to explain.

Under the current situation, what is Tongxing lacking the most, Luan Pingxin does not shy away from it, Tongxing is short of money.For the No. [-] land in Xizhen on the other side of Yuncheng, from the acquisition of the land to the construction to the operation, the support funds for the eight cold chains are simply not enough.Under such a turbulent real estate tide, the cost of cold chain in the suburbs of big cities can be seen from the comparison of land prices ten years ago and now.

Moreover, for the first mile, Hu Shutong has contracted a large number of wholesale markets in the production area for more than a year, and the expenditure on renovation has become a major flow of Tongxing funds.

These days, cold chain companies that have laid a solid foundation in advance are seeking financing for mergers and acquisitions, which can be called a fast and easy way to reap the rewards.By making the basket bigger together, the enterprise can make more money, and the investors can make more profits, but she didn't see any such intention from Hu Shutong.

So where does the money come from, we might as well find a way technically.

As for what kind of technology investment is the most profitable, Luan Pingxin has already had an idea, that is, to find the biggest demand in the market, such as high-tech and over-targeted constant temperature storage, which is essentially a point-based research and development.

And this time, the direction is on the cold chain equipment. In short, starting from the equipment used on a large scale in the market, and in line with the trend of technological innovation and energy saving, such products are the biggest business opportunities!

Luan Pingxin's ultimate goal is not only to be recognized by equipment companies, but also to have market space for mass production.

And this will become a continuous project, because there is still a huge gap in technology in this field, and there are far more promising places than what she is currently thinking about.

There are certainly technical difficulties, but apart from its own team, the people in the Tongxing R&D Center are not vegetarians. Given time, the results can be expected!

When the people in the Tongxing R&D Center learned that Luan Pingxin came to sit in the town, they all cheered up. They all heard that this is a technical strongman who can't even beat Mr. Hu!
