Share a good news and a bad news with you. The good news is that the Bo Five Master Brothers in my laboratory successfully graduated and joined the US group! The bad news is that he's three years younger than me, but graduated earlier than me
Putting aside the graduation question, I was full of curiosity about my brother's meituan offer. After all, before mentioning the US group, I can only think of small yellow cars and takeaways, and there is only a piece of yellow in front of me... My brother said I was too limited and rushed to popularize science:
AMAZING！ It turns out that Meituan has so many magical businesses! In order to explore the way for myself to find a way out after graduation, I spent two days, under the leadership of several brilliant Tsinghua alumni, visited the major business points of Meituan In Beijing, from automatic delivery car takeaway to dessert tasting, and then I came to take you to see the world!
First, the automatic delivery vehicle that can be automatically delivered
Automatic delivery vehicle, as the name suggests, is a car that can be automatically delivered, and it is the kind of self-developed and self-made automatic delivery of takeaways. For the first time, I knew that Meituan still has this business! The first stop I went straight to the automatic car delivery station of the US group in Shunyi, a row of small cars waiting for delivery at the door, and it was weird
I was received by Xuetao alumni who were responsible for developing automated car delivery algorithms. He is a Ph.D. in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Tsinghua University for the 20th term. According to him, the small yellow car they developed is full of capacity, and can deliver 10 orders at a time, and each single weighs more than a dozen pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables bought by the METUan. A while ago, a batch of automatic delivery vehicles were also dispatched to Help Shanghai to help contactless delivery, which was very nice
But what I am most curious about is how this little yellow car is safely on the road, and will it really not hit people? The alumni laughed and suggested that I could stop the little yellow car and see if I would die.
I personally tested it, and it was okay, no die
I drove the whole process to copy a delivery, and found that the delivery process of this cute car was like this, and the whole process was very silky
And the current road performance of automatic delivery vehicles is very eye-catching, even better and more civilized than many people driving! Not only will they wait for traffic lights and give way to pedestrians, but they will also skillfully turn around and park on the side, which is a full score of the second section and the third full score. Even the takeaway brother who passed by was amazed to see it
Alumni said that doing this job, the algorithm is not only run up on the computer, but also directly on the road, when you see that the technology you developed can land in the real world, and promote change, it is still quite a sense of achievement! Welcome people with lofty ideals to come here together!
Second, drone takeaway that can drop pie in the sky
In addition to automatic delivery vehicles, Meituan also has a drone takeaway business! The drone test site is in a popular science park called Eagle Captain Aviation in Changping, I don't know if it is taken from the harmonic sound of eagle strike long sky...
Waiting for me here is the U.S. U.S. drone boss LiJun Senior. As soon as I arrived, the alumni enthusiastically introduced me to their drones. I have to say that this small courtyard for testing high-tech drones is really rustic, just look at the left picture you may think we are discussing the postpartum care of sows
The big guy told me that the current UAV load of the US group is 2.6 kg, and it can send four cups of milk tea at a time. The flight speed is 20m/s, and the theoretical delivery distance of 2km can be delivered in 2 minutes in a straight line. Much faster than automated delivery vehicles. Now the drone business has opened 9 routes in Shenzhen, and there is no apron at home
You can really choose drone delivery! Friends in Shenzhen can try
Next the big guy decided to give me a test flight directly!
Only to see the drone slowly take off on the vast grass, the speed of 20m/s makes people's eyes can only chase wildly, and the right angle turn draws a B word after safely returning, and this wave of rows is full!
Can you see that it is flying a B!
And the drone is still filled with pie. Let's take a look at the pie in the sky:
After the flight, I talked to the big guy. The big guy is a 08-level Tsinghua Aviation Academy, who created a business before coming to the US group, but then he couldn't let go of the dream of spaceflight, so he came to the US group to continue to dream of flying circles. The big guy also warmly welcomes students from all majors to join their team and fly together, structure, machinery, mechanics... Anything professional!
I think you can really think about it. After all, it seems that engaging in drones is really casual, you see this big lawn, even if you are at work, it is like camping, which is a beautiful thing

Third, the programmer has to go to the delivery business of delivering takeaways
Next, we returned to Wangjing to visit the technical team of Meituan's delivery business! They mainly use algorithms to make takeaways better delivered, such as assigning riders more convenient orders, developing smart helmets, etc.
It sounds like a lot of programmers, but they're also very good at delivering food.
The teacher I interviewed, Jing Hua, stayed in the school after graduating from Tsinghua University and worked as a teacher, and now often rides a takeaway car through the city. I asked the teacher if this was abuse, and the teacher said that he just wanted to change the world quickly with knowledge.
I also experienced the whole process of delivering takeaways!
First of all, wear the smart safety helmet independently developed by the US group, which can voice orders, voice calls, even Bluetooth songs, and intelligent helmet detection to see if the rider is wearing, which is great. The only question is that the Meituan classmates saw me and blurted out that this helmet was small...
Fortunately, the smart helmet can adjust the head circumference! Big head is not worried
Next, please take a look at Bi Dao's takeaway live:
Waiting for the time of the order is a bit boring, and when you take the order, you find that there is still a smart cabinet. Riding an electric car, I looked very fast, but the speed did not exceed 25 miles.
The overall delivery feels very smart! Because I'm a newbie, the system sent me a simple order. Although I am not familiar with the road, with the blessing of planning algorithms and smart helmet voice navigation broadcasts, I quickly found the ground!
Finally, Teacher Jing Hua said with emotion that he found that he really preferred to solve practical problems than doing academic work in the ivory tower! Programmers are also welcome to deliver takeaways here!!
Fourth, the fast donkey who is responsible for "delivering takeaway" to the merchant is restocked
Fast donkey purchase, is also a distribution-related business department of Meituan! The main business is to send ingredients to merchants "takeaway", mainly raw material distribution, such as delivering dishes to restaurants, sending meat to barbecue restaurants, etc., which are quickly very capable.
I chatted with the Qizhu classmate of the fast donkey, the pillar brother is the 18th Tsinghua automation department, after graduation automatically came to the fast donkey, he said that because the fast donkey has one of the best experts in the national machine learning. Although the family began to have some misunderstandings...
But the technical content of the work of the pillar brother is still very high. He is responsible for the wiring and path planning, such as which driver with which order, how to let the driver run the road he is most familiar with, etc., to ensure that fresh dishes are delivered to the merchants.
Every day, he will also take the initiative to follow the driver to the front-line warehouse, often follow the freight driver to start work at 10 pm, follow the review and adjust the algorithm, and the pillar brother also grows rapidly under this rhythm. After listening, I also told Brother Zhu to take care of his hair.
Fifth, how many nights can buy medicine Meituan to buy medicine
Presumably, many students have been sick, and they have bought medicines in the Us group! I also interviewed Yongkang from the Meituan drug buying team this time, and I felt that his name was very suitable for this job.
After graduating from Tsinghua University with a master's degree in hospital management, Yongkang came to Meituan to do business analysis. I asked the little brother if your major is helpful for the job? The little brother said that the help can be great, many drug names I can see at a glance to know what it is, such as sildenafil citrate tablets. I said what is this, the little brother smiled shyly... I also shyly realized...
What makes Yongkang feel very accomplished is that last year's participation in the Meituan BuyIng Medicine Xiaohuang Lantern People's Livelihood Service Plan promoted the popularization of 24h pharmacies. Previously, many pharmacies did not open their doors at night due to cost concerns, and many people could not buy medicines at night. But they have driven many merchants to start business for 24h through data analysis, which is convenient for more people to buy drugs. "It's worth it to be able to directly help people with the work you're involved in."
When I decided to buy medicine online in the future, I said thank you, Yongkang.
Sixth, run all over the country to pick delicious elephant chefs for you
The last business I visited was like a chef! As a private brand of Meituan Grocery, they have a variety of product lines such as baking and cooked food, and have developed a lot of delicious food!
Behind the delicious is inseparable from the hard work of R & D personnel, they often have to travel around the world to dig up food, publicly-funded to try hundreds of products, each category must be scored and evaluated to screen out the most delicious, and even many people have paid the tragic price of gaining 10 pounds!
Like the chef team works daily
There is a young master sister Yang who is in charge of Tsinghua In the elephant chef, and with his love for food, he resolutely abandons the business and becomes fat here. After listening, I also strongly demand that I experience the hardships of your work:
Like the classmates of the Chef Team are offering me Amway Gourmet... What a fragrance!
But I thought about it, if I had to eat like this all day, it would be difficult. They not only want to eat, but also eat professionally, from the selection of products to the landing, where the intermediate raw materials come from, how to control the ingredients, how to control the quality of factory production, are very strict. Daily is also very Chinese small boss is very god-eating, very professional
It can be said that each product that is finally launched is screened layer by layer before it comes to you. And this process is also the part of the student who feels the most rewarding and fulfilling in his work. So in order not to live up to their good intentions, I packed all the tasting products when I left
epilogue
What a fulfilling visit to the U.S. group! This visit made me find that me have so many rich retail business and so many big cattle in our school...
Visiting each business, I can feel the technological content inside, from automatic delivery vehicle drones to technical distribution to commercial data analysis, this is the "retail + technology" wang fried combination!
What touched me the most was that when I interviewed each of the alumni why they came to the US group, in addition to the offer, they all said that they could quickly put the knowledge they learned into practice and really change people's lives. Indeed, you can see that during the epidemic, the small yellow car invested in sharing the pressure of transportation, using data and algorithms to help drivers solve the problem of recognizing the road, so that more 24h pharmacies can be opened to facilitate everyone to buy medicine at night, and carefully select more delicious and healthy food for everyone... These have truly improved people's lives and created beautiful social values!
In short, it is really a vast world with great achievements, ah, welcome to the US group to submit resumes ah!
