When the strong winds are up, how do these founders who are betting on future exam questions view the opportunities and challenges brought about by the new infrastructure?
Since the beginning of this year, the central government has made important strategic deployments on accelerating the construction of new-type infrastructure on many occasions, and new major investment projects in 2020 issued by many provinces have frequently appeared “new “Infrastructure”. At the regular press conference of the National Development and Reform Commission held on April 20, the relevant person in charge defined the field of new infrastructure and initially clarified the focus and direction of new infrastructure development. On May 22, the new infrastructure was written in the 2020 government work report, and officially rose to the national strategic level after the government clearly defined its scope. The top layer is designed to press the “acceleration key” for new infrastructure construction. Relevant industry, academia, and investment circles have set their sightsOpportunity to “new infrastructure”.
Zhong Ding has been focusing on supply chain innovation investment and improving industrial efficiency. In Zhong Ding’s investment layout, many invested companies are active in the fields covered by the concept of “new infrastructure”. These companies have won A rare window of development.
We interviewed a few representative companies that were invested, to talk about the new infrastructure in their eyes. We asked the founders the following three questions:
-
What do you think of the relationship between your business and the concept of new infrastructure?
-
How do you view the opportunities and challenges brought about by the “new infrastructure”? What is your new inspiration?
-
What will happen to our lives in the future when the new infrastructure is launched? What kind of contribution will your company make in it?
When the strong winds are up, how do these founders who are betting on the future exams view the opportunities and challenges brought about by the new infrastructure? In the first issue, we invited the founder and CEO of G7, Zhai Xuehun. Zhai Xuehun believes that G7 is gradually digitizing the production factors of the entire road logistics chain. Whether it is a large logistics enterprise, small and medium-sized fleet or individual driver, G7 products and services can meet almost all the work of every logistics organization and individual Scene requirements. This is the new infrastructure of the logistics industry, that is, the digital infrastructure of the logistics industry. This is also a matter of continuous exploration and persistence in the ten-year development of the G7.
What kind of thinking does the new infrastructure concept bring to G7? May our sharing be inspiring for you.

What do you think of the relationship between your business and the concept of new infrastructure?
G7 is the new infrastructure for highway logistics.
In the 5G era, the first benefit will be the Industrial Internet, of which logistics should be one of the highlights. The Thai joint venture book specifically mentioned in an industry-recognized article on Industrial Internet that logistics is the first scene of Industrial Internet. With the connection of IoT, the logistics industry will become a key infrastructure that promotes the transformation of business upgrades.
This is exactly what G7 has been exploring and persevering throughout the 10-year development of G7.
On the tenth anniversary of the Geek Park Innovation Conference, I once said, “Single scene to infrastructure is an inevitable process.” From the location information service of the GPS box in 2010, to the popularization of the logistics line in 2012 after hitting the pain point of the logistics fleet, to the fleet safety management service in 2016, and the world’s first smart trailer in 2018-Digital With the listing of cargo compartments and the launch of digital settlement services, every product and service innovation is based on a single scenario and meets universal needs. It has quickly evolved into the infrastructure of the entire industry. This process is a tiny epitome of technology making the industry progress.
It can be said that G7 is gradually digitizing the production factors of the entire road logistics chain. Whether it is a large logistics enterprise, small and medium-sized fleet or individual driver, G7 products and services can meet almost all logistics organizations and individuals Work scene requirements. This is the new infrastructure of the logistics industry, that is, the digital infrastructure of the logistics industry.

How do you view the opportunities and challenges brought about by the “new infrastructure”?
What new inspiration do you have?
The epidemic has accelerated the advancement of “new infrastructure”. In a special period, “smart logistics” played an important role in the emergency response of the social material security system; characterLogistics, network freight, and autonomous driving will also bring about the upgrading and transformation of the logistics industry again, and will require more digital infrastructure that can cover the entire industry chain of the logistics industry to play a foundation role. G7 is very serious about the future of artificial intelligence, autonomous driving, the safety and efficiency of trucks, and its commitment to all new technologies. We hope to help all aspects of the logistics industry step by step and solidly, whether it is a cargo owner, a logistics company or a driver, to achieve safer, more efficient and better smart logistics. “

What will happen to our life in the future when the new infrastructure is launched?
What kind of contribution will your company make in it?
Take the organization as an example. The core needs of logistics companies and fleet owners are to reduce costs and increase efficiency. Through the G7 operating service platform and asset service platform, they can solve the three core pain points of cost, timeliness and safety. G7 intelligent asset management platform can help logistics enterprises to flexibly lease digital cargo cabins and pay on demand in the off-peak season, while improving asset operation efficiency, from heavy assets to light assets; through safety management to reduce accident rates and improve drivers’ safe driving level, so as to obtain Better insurance services. This will greatly optimize the company’s balance sheet. In the course of fleet operations, G7 can meet a series of daily high-frequency needs of fleets, such as: oil, ETC financial services, online settlement of wages, taxes, freight, and better-priced aftermarket services such as tires and lubricants. Help the fleet greatly improve human efficiency and reduce costs, thereby optimizing the company’s profit and loss statement.
Let’s think about the daily work of an individual driver like this: The car is almost out of gas. Open the G7 truck baby app. The location and price of the nearby gas station are clear at a glance. One-click gas and complete online settlement immediately; long After driving, you can find the nearest G7 driver’s home on the APP, where you can fill your stomach, take a hot bath, and take a nap; a series of actions such as ETC, repair and maintenance, and freight settlement can be completed through the APP. Carry a lot of cash with you, you don’t have to apply for many cards, and you don’t need to keep a bunch of invoices to return to the company for reimbursement. During the driving process, dangerous actions such as fatigue, yawning or making phone calls will be reminded in real time. High will trigger the G7 security housekeeper to carry out manual intervention until the risk disappears. During the current epidemic, G7 also provided free new coronary pneumonia insurance for drivers in Hubei. In short, the driver’s entire need for a trip can be achieved through the G7 platform.
The layout of the G7 full industry chain not only empowers companies and drivers directly involved in the transportation process, but also realizes the connection between upstream cargo owners and downstream fleets, and at the same time insurance Companies, energy companies, financial companies and other organizations that indirectly serve the logistics industry are also connectedTogether, the production factors of the entire industry chain began to be digitized and intelligentized, thus forming a virtuous circle and promoting the digital transformation of traditional industries.
Behind this, G7 has continued to cultivate and iterate in the logistics industry for ten years. Today, G7 has provided more than 500 Chinese cargo owners and logistics companies, more than 7,000 growing fleets, and more than 1.5 million drivers with full-chain integrated intelligent services covering network freight, security insurance, smart equipment and fleet management, and connected insurance, Eco-partners such as energy, finance, and equipment will play a synergistic effect.

Do you have any other points to add to the new infrastructure?
Autonomous driving and asset service will be the new infrastructure of the logistics industry in the future.
Automated driving technology applied to commercial trucks will greatly improve people’s work and living conditions. Automated driving technology supplements freight drivers, which will reduce work intensity and reduce accident rates; at the same time, it will bring 5% to operators. 10% cost reduction and efficiency improvement, thereby generating huge economic benefits and social value. Autonomous driving is a fundamental tool that can dramatically change productivity in this industry.
G7 is building a self-driving robot network with ProLogis and Wintech. In the future, logistics companies will not need to hold heavy assets such as vehicles, not just relatively low-value trailers. With the launch of the subsequent autonomous driving front, this brand-new epoch-making technology product will definitely sell at a relatively high price, and is more suitable for entering the market through a service-oriented model. Allow users to enjoy the latest productivity tools without increasing cash flow pressure. High-value driverless trucks will become a cost-effective tool for logistics fleets in a more intimate way.
