On December 30, 2016, the drone star company had 134 people with one-time layoffs. On December 9, another drone star company, Yihang, was also exposed to 70 layoffs. Earlier, the US star drone company 3DR also laid off employees and cut off the consumer drone business. Regarding the above-mentioned layoffs, Yang Jianjun, founder and CEO of Zero Intelligence, said in an exclusive interview with Tencent Technology that the layoffs may be that the drone business is no longer the focus of development, and then it will be transformed into another, zero-degree intelligent control layoffs. Because of strategic adjustments, layoffs are meant to better make consumer-grade drones. It is reported that after the layoffs of Yihang Airlines were exposed, Yihang did not comment, only to highlight the latest developments of the self-driving aircraft Ehang 184. In the opinion of many insiders, this is likely to be a signal that Yihang Airlines will turn its main business to 184. In March 2016, after seeing the prototype of the pocket drone Dobby made by Zero Intelligence, Yang Jianjun felt that this was a great opportunity to decide to do a big job in 2016, so he was madly recruiting more than 100 people. The population has expanded to more than 500 people. It is reported that unlike the most popular Elf series of UAVs in the outdoor high-altitude aerial photography, Dobby is small and light, flying at low altitude, can be placed in pockets, and can also fly indoors. Yang Jianjun believes that this is a brand new market, so he is determined to invest a lot of manpower and material resources, and personnel expansion has come. But as the number of people increased, the problem began to slowly expose. Yang Jianjun claimed to be a former military man. He was a pure engineering man. He was not good at management. In the end, the company began to have a large company illness. The surge in personnel led to a management radius that exceeded the scope of capabilities. Considering the lack of management talents, the executive team Consider repeatedly making a decision to lay off employees. It is reported that the layoffs involve employees during the probation period, and there are also old employees who have worked for more than two years. All departments are involved. “From obscurity to the second in the industry, the responsibility lies in my lack of management. Our development speed is a little beyond the management radius. My regret is also here. For the departing employees, we have communicated very well and ruled out Misunderstanding, and the majority of employees reached a consensus." Yang Jianjun said that many of the employees who left this job are very good, but may not be suitable for the current zero-degree intelligence control. Zero IQ does not sign any non-compete agreements with them, but hopes they can find a good platform as soon as possible. It is reported that Zero Intelligence has made the following arrangements for the departing employees: First, the commitment to implement N+1 times the compensation standard; the second and December wages will be paid in full, there will be no misunderstanding of the five-day salary; third, the company set up a support group, It is mainly to make relief work for the departing employees, including employment problems, life problems, and help these people solve some of the current difficulties. Yang Jianjun said that the strategic adjustment of Zero Intelligence is to pay more attention to consumer-grade UAVs and to meet the new corporate development strategy. But at the same time, industry-class drones will not give up. According to Yang Jianjun, Dobby, the pocket drone launched in 2016, reached 80,000 units at the end of Q3. At present, Dobby’s sales have exceeded 100 million. In December 2016, Dobby’s landing gear was over 100,000. . However, the previous expected sales of Zero is still far more than 100,000, which means that there is still a gap between Dobby's actual sales and expected sales. Yang Jianjun said that personnel adjustment is not directly related to sales volume, and there may be some indirect relationship. Yang Jianjun also admitted that as a startup company, the need for funds will always exist. However, for the current profit and loss situation of Zero Intelligence, he did not give specific figures on the spot. Unlike the drone leader Dajiang, which sells mainly overseas, the sales of Zero-Intelligence in Europe and America are very low. On the contrary, it has the highest sales volume in mainland China and a high sales volume in Japan. Yang Jianjun believes that the outside world is still underestimating the drone industry, and the real spring of the drone industry will come in 2017. "The UAV industry will become more and more subdivided in the future. For example, the market in agriculture, security and other fields will gradually grow stronger. This has nothing to do with our adjustment. We adjust because of management problems and develop too fast. The last step on the pit is not to say that the industry is not working. In fact, the entire industry is still growing at a high speed." Face mask and protective suit Face mask and protective suit Chuangying Electronics Co.,Ltd , https://www.cwpcb.com
