Chapter 553
Zhang Dong had heard from Lin Feng before that in the future, the warehouse of JD Logistics will be made into a smart warehouse, and the warehouse will be intelligently managed by then.

When Zhang Dong heard Lin Feng's idea, his first feeling was that Lin Feng was bragging.

After all, in his opinion, Lin Feng's idea is as impossible as the Arabian Nights.

However, after Zhang Dong listened to Lin Feng's explanation, he deliberately went to the Internet to check the information, only to realize that the future trend of overseas logistics is also unmanned delivery.

According to the assumption, in the future, everyone’s logistics will be delivered by drones and unmanned vehicles, and logistics warehouses will also be managed by robots, so there is no need for humans to handle everything as it is now.

After Zhang Dong read those materials, he was also very excited about that kind of future vision, but these visions have too high requirements for technology, so there is no way to realize them in a short time.

"Smart logistics is now enabled?" Zhang Dong asked suspiciously: "But we don't have such technology at all."

Zhang Dong didn't understand why Lin Feng suddenly started smart logistics. After all, the current technology of JD Logistics couldn't support the construction of smart warehouses.

Lin Feng laughed when he heard Zhang Dong's words.

"Since we don't have the technology in this area, let's introduce those technologies."

"Not only do I want to make JD Logistics into a smart logistics, but I also want to make Star Logistics into a smart logistics. When the two logistics companies get through the system, no one can shake our Star Group's position in the logistics market."

Zhang Dong felt very helpless when he heard Lin Feng's words.

Do you think too much, kid? Do you know who is the leader in the domestic logistics industry?
Do you know which logistics company can deliver to those remote places in China?
I think you kid can brag because you don't know anything.

Although Zhang Dong had great doubts about Lin Feng's words in his heart, he would not say it foolishly.

Anyway, Lin Feng is now the boss. Since the boss said that he wants to start smart logistics, he should start doing it.

After figuring this out, Zhang Dong didn't argue with Lin Feng either.

After talking with Lin Feng on the phone, a high-level meeting of JD.com began.

Zhang Dong is also very thoughtful. He knows that if JD Logistics has been managed within JD.com, the complicated company structure will definitely affect the progress of logistics.

So Zhang Dong started to create a separate department for JD Logistics, which is responsible for the intelligent rectification of JD Logistics.

In order to enable Jingdong Logistics to realize intelligentization smoothly, Zhang Dong also specially authorized the person in charge of Jingdong Logistics to have the privilege of passing all planned budgets first, and when necessary, the plan can be implemented without reporting to the company.

The person in charge of JD Logistics is Zhang Dong's confidant and has followed him for many years.

This time, in order to ensure that there is no accident in Jingdong Logistics, Zhang Dong deliberately transferred his love general from his side and asked him to be in charge of Jingdong Logistics.

On the one hand, it is to ensure the smooth completion of intelligentization of JD Logistics, and on the other hand, it wants to train the other party.

Once he completes the work of intelligentizing JD Logistics, he can recommend to the board of directors to let him join the board of directors, and his influence on the board of directors can be strengthened by then.

Although Jingdong Company has been controlled by Lin Feng, Zhang Dong has been strengthening his power in the board of directors, thinking that one day he can take the company back from Lin Feng's hands.

Zhang Dong knew that it was Penguin, which was also controlled by Lin Feng.

Boss Ma's response method is much better than him.

Although Lin Feng is the controlling shareholder of Penguin Company, on the one hand, Boss Ma has attracted many directors to him on the board of directors. Therefore, even though Lin Feng is the largest shareholder of the company, he has no ability to cover the sky on the board of directors.

In addition, Boss Ma successfully introduced new funds to buy shares in Penguin Company, which greatly diluted Lin Feng's shares in Penguin Company.

Even if Lin Feng is the major shareholder of the company, as long as the plan to issue additional shares is approved by two-thirds of the board of directors, there is no way for Lin Feng to stop it.

If Lin Feng, the major shareholder, had the privilege of veto, maybe Boss Ma would not be able to bypass Lin Feng and introduce new shareholders. Unfortunately, Lin Feng did not have such a privilege.

But it is different in JD.com.

When Lin Feng became a shareholder of Jingdong Company for the first time, there was a stipulation in the document signed with Jingdong Company that if Lin Feng felt that the company's decision violated his rights, he had the right to veto it with one vote.

But if the plan rejected by Lin Feng is approved by two-thirds of the board of directors, then even if Lin Feng opposes it, it will be useless.

However, Lin Feng mobilized a huge amount of funds to participate in the two financings of JD.com, so currently two-thirds of the seats on JD.com's board of directors are in Lin Feng's hands.

So it is impossible for Zhang Dong to learn from Boss Ma.

Unless Lin Feng controls less than two-thirds of the board of directors.

Zhang Dong also thought of this, so he is trying every means to continuously expand the size of the board of directors. As long as he guarantees that every additional seat is on his side, one day Lin Feng can be included in the board of directors. The seats were reduced to less than two-thirds.

Lin Feng still doesn't know that Zhang Dong still has such thoughts in his heart.

After Lin Feng and Zhang Dong finished talking on the phone, they called Jiang Bufan.

Jiang Bufan is now in charge of Star Logistics.

When Jiang Bufan heard that Lin Feng wanted to develop Xingkong Logistics into an intelligent aspect, he agreed without saying a word.

After all, it was mainly thanks to Lin Feng that he was able to sit in this seat.

Although he also knows that intelligentization of Star Logistics at this time will cost a lot of money, and it is not a good choice for the company.

But Jiang Bufan also knew clearly that although Lin Feng said on the phone that he wanted to discuss with him, but he knew that as long as his side dared to object, then he might be dismissed by Lin Feng tomorrow.

Although Jiang Bufan didn't spend much time with Lin Feng and didn't work with him, he still knew Lin Feng's style.

He knew that once Lin Feng made a decision on something, no one could object to it, and those who opposed him generally had no good results.

After Jiang Bufan listened to Lin Feng's words, he also started to hold a high-level meeting of Star Logistics. The theme was how to realize the intelligence of Star Logistics.

If a logistics company wants to achieve intelligence, it first needs advanced technology, otherwise, all mechanized processes are empty talk.

Although the Star Logistics Company does not have a department specializing in high-tech research, their company has a lot of book funds, so after Jiang Bufan set the tone, he began to ask people to bring funds to find technology.

When Jiang Bufan was working at Porsche, he understood one thing, that is, only when he has strong skills can he have the right to speak.

So he knows that the intelligentization of Xingkong logistics has just started, and advanced technology can be introduced from the outside.

But once the intelligence of Xingkong Logistics is slowly on the right track, it becomes very necessary to develop technology by ourselves.

Jiang Bufan thought that there were still tens of billions of liquid funds lying on the company's books, and those funds were the profits of Star Logistics in recent years.

So Jiang Bufan made a very bold decision. Star Logistics established a research and development department to specialize in the research and development of automation technology suitable for the logistics system.

Although this department needs to invest a lot of money at the beginning, once the technology is developed, it will be of great benefit to Xingkong Logistics Company.

When Jiang Bufan thought of this, he quickly reported his thoughts to Lin Feng. Although he didn't think the problem was too big, he thought it would be safe to talk to Lin Feng.

In this way, even if there is any problem, Lin Feng will stand in front of it.

After Lin Feng listened to Jiang Bufan's suggestion, he fully agreed with this decision. After all, Lin Feng wanted to make logistics the world's top level in the future. How could he do without his own technology research and development department?
So after listening to Jiang Bufan's report, Lin Feng swiped his pen and asked Jiang Bufan to invest one billion yuan in research and development funds for this research and development department, and he must produce some results in the shortest possible time.

With Lin Feng's support, Jiang Bufan was no longer intimidated, and began to boldly arrange the work below.

Recently, many investors who opened long positions in copper futures have been liquidated.

Recently, investors in the futures market never imagined that when they thought that the price of copper futures was just a normal correction, the price of copper futures actually dropped from a price close to [-] US dollars to [-] US dollars in a few days. Hundred dollars.

Many investors with high positions were liquidated one after another.

All of a sudden, the investors in the futures investment market were devastated.

They never imagined why the copper futures, which had clearly stepped out of the technical bull market, ended the bull market so quickly, and changed from a technical bull market to a technical bear market in just a few days.

At this time, those investors who had opened short positions when the copper futures just started to pull back were making a lot of money.

Since the price of copper futures has fallen by nearly 20.00% from the high level, some bulls have closed their positions and changed to short copper futures.

At the same time, some investors who have not had time to get in the car also started to get in the car one after another after seeing that the technical bear market of copper futures has been confirmed, unwilling to miss this great opportunity to make money.

As the wind direction of the market changed, the price of copper futures quickly fell below [-] US dollars, and fell towards the price of [-] US dollars.

The continued decline in the price of copper futures has attracted more investors to enter the market to short, so the price of copper futures has fallen faster.

But what they never expected was that when the price of copper futures was still a few price points away from [-] US dollars, the downward trend was suddenly stopped, and at the same time, it began to fluctuate and release huge amounts.

Before investors in the market could react, the price of copper futures rebounded sharply.

The market also suddenly increased a lot of long positions, so the price of copper futures returned to the price of [-] US dollars in just one hour.

This rebound has blown up a lot of short funds.

Because the rebound speed of copper futures was too fast, many people had no time to react, and their positions had already been forcibly closed by securities companies.

The price of copper futures rebounded sharply, and many short-selling funds began to close their positions one after another. They were also afraid that the price of copper futures would continue to rise sharply, and their positions would be in trouble when their positions were liquidated.

But not long after they closed their positions, the price of copper futures began to fall again, and in just one hour, the price returned to the price of one thousand dollars again.

However, the price of copper futures did not fall below the psychological price of [-] US dollars. At [-] US dollars, the price of copper futures had been accepted, and then began to fluctuate and increase in volume.

When some short sellers who closed their positions saw that the price of copper futures returned to [-] US dollars, they all beat their chests and cried bitterly, regretting why they didn't wait and see just now, and don't rush to close their positions.

At this time, some well-behaved investors cleared their positions and came out to wait and see, not daring to gamble in it.

However, some radical investors speculated that the previous rebound in copper futures was only a flash in the pan, and copper futures will continue to fall in the end.

So these people began to enter the market one after another to short, and they were sure that the price of copper futures would fall below $[-].

And once copper futures falls below the price of [-] US dollars, it will inevitably cause panic among long-term investors, and when the other parties close their positions one after another, it will inevitably lead to a continued decline in the price of copper futures, or even a sharp drop.

So many people began to enter the market to short copper futures at this time, and they knew from the list of opening positions that there were not a few people who were short copper futures, and there were even many institutions following in to short copper futures.

Because there are too many short-selling funds, the shock situation of copper futures has been broken, and the price of copper futures has indeed fallen below [-] US dollars.

And when the price of copper futures fell below 950 US dollars, more and more short-selling funds began to enter the market to open positions, and the price of copper futures began to plummet, falling from [-] US dollars to [-] US dollars in a short period of time.

At this time, there is still not much money in the market to open a long position in copper futures, so the short-selling investors in the market began to cheer and shout.

After all, if this situation continues, copper futures will start a new round of sharp decline, and they will make a lot of money by shorting copper futures.

Just as those short-selling investors were in ecstasy, a huge amount of long orders suddenly flowed out.

The price of copper futures was pushed back to the thousand-dollar price in an instant.

At least billions of dollars worth of positions were liquidated.
