In the "Nancheng Garden" community of Nanjin Street Street, Hechuan District, Chongqing City, near the back door of the community, there is an "excellent supermarket" without salesmen and cashiers. Although the supermarket has no salesman and cashier, and the supermarket door seems to be closed, customers can use their mobile phones to scan the *** on the supermarket gate to enter the supermarket, buy items in the supermarket, and then go to the cashier without a cashier to scan the code to pay, and then use the mobile phone to scan the *** on the supermarket door to leave the supermarket, and no one "intervenes" in the whole shopping process, which is very convenient. This "excellent supermarket", which seems to have a closed door and no salesmen or cashiers, is a 24-hour unmanned supermarket built by Zhou Shijie.
I want to use innovation to change life and use innovation to facilitate the public. Zhou Shijie, 42, is an independent entrepreneur and a "dream chaser" who realizes his dreams with innovation.
Zhou Shijie said that his hometown is in Longgu Village, Dashi Street, Hechuan District, and his parents are farmers, and he is an authentic farmer. Since he was in junior high school, he has been particularly fond of mathematics, physics and chemistry, and has participated in junior high school mathematics, physics, and chemistry Olympiads, and won many awards. When he went to Hechuan Middle School to study high school, his mathematics, physics and chemistry grades were also very good, and he continued to participate in the National Mathematics and Physics Olympiad, and still won good awards. Originally, he was at the top of his grade and planned to apply for Harbin Institute of Technology, but he performed abnormally in the college entrance examination in 2002, and his score was just on the main line, and he was admitted to Guilin University of Electronic Technology.
Go with the flow, the requirements of the children of the peasant family are not high, as long as they can be admitted to the university!Although he failed the college entrance examination, Zhou Shijie gave up repeating his studies to study at Guilin University of Electronic Science and Technology, and he also wanted to use his ingenuity and enterprising spirit to stand up.
During his studies at Guilin University of Electronic Science and Technology, Zhou Shijie learned professional knowledge while designing and developing program software, and also worked part-time to be a leading businessman for communication companies, selling digital products such as mobile phones and PHS, and completed 4 years of college not only did not let his parents bear a penny, but also earned 500,000 yuan.
After graduating from university, many of my classmates went to work for Huawei, ZTE, and Tencent, but I chose to start my own business, and I wanted to be a boss who changed life with innovation and made it convenient for the masses with innovation. Zhou Shijie said that after graduating from university, he started his own business in Guilin, specializing in digital product sales and artificial intelligence development and utilization, and at the same time did business for China Mobile and China Unicom. After accumulating some experience and funds, he returned to Chongqing in 2010 to start a business and continued to engage in artificial intelligence development. After more than ten years of innovation and accumulation, he decided to use his expertise to develop an unmanned supermarket system and apply his scientific and technological innovation achievements to practice. To this end, in 2020, he opened this 24-hour unmanned supermarket called "Excellent Supermarket" in the Garden Community of Hechuan Nancheng.
According to Zhou Shijie, the unmanned supermarket system he developed includes an access control system, a monitoring system, a cashier system, a takeaway system, a voice prompt system, etc., and the entire technology and equipment cost is about 10,000 yuan. Through the practice demonstration of "excellent supermarket", there are currently 9 local supermarkets in Guangxi, Chengdu and Hechuan, which not only have a low cost threshold, but also are practical and affordable, which greatly reduces the operating costs of supermarkets, especially labor costs.
The reporter saw in the "excellent supermarket" that in addition to young people, there are many middle-aged people who come to the supermarket to buy goods, and there are also merchants who come to the supermarket to visit and experience. A merchant who came to experience told reporters that this unmanned supermarket is open 24 hours a day, which is very convenient and worth promoting.
