In recent years, with the development of economy and the popularization of mobile payment e-commerce, there is no new retail began to rise, it makes people in the circle of science and technology, and retail has a chance to go to the same battlefield. A group of people advocate technology, another group of people who is good at running, two people the collision of ideas, produced a lot of interesting things, such as intelligent automatic vending machine, and convenience stores, no shelves, Now there is no shelves have been eliminated, the alternative is no one to sell container, smart to sell container) 。 If the retail formats according to the degree of radical, science and technology content of matrix, the differences between each other is more obvious.

But the only objection is that China will be more like that of the 70 s the United States, or Japan in the 70 s? Or who don't like us to go their own way? The problem of many things, but for the vending machine enterprise, is necessary to predict the future, because different mode may mean ending. In her book 'the hundred years old life, the author has a point: future repetitive work can be replaced by artificial intelligence, namely a hollowed-out middle industry. Human ends will focus on industry: the end is a service industry, end is original industry ( Science and technology, culture) 。 The pattern of the retail industry is no exception, since the most likely is: no one retail shopping scene in standardization, some retail offering services to have a temperature.
