An industry insider told reporters that a transaction must go through at least seven or eight steps, from intended cooperation, framework agreement, bid announcement, formal procurement, customer order placement, to production dismissal, delivery, inspection, and revenue confirmation. However, when a company advertises to the outside world, any of these steps may be packaged as an order. In addition, a number of robotics industry insiders pointed out to reporters that now when companies send good order news, it is really difficult for the outside world to understand and even easy to ignore these key questions: What is the advance payment ratio? What are the acceptance conditions? How long is the payback period? Everyone just looked at the amount and the customer's name. According to the above sources, there is usually some moisture in the three types of orders in the market. The first category is local government investment promotion projects. In order to introduce humanoid robot companies, many places place purchase orders under the name of placing robots in government affairs halls, cultural tourism attractions, and digital collection centers. This type of order is essentially a variant of industrial subsidy. Purchases are “display value”, not production value. The second category is upstream and downstream “mutual insurance” agreements. In order to maintain major customers, parts suppliers promise “trial and purchase”; in order to support shipment volume figures, component companies “feed back” complete machine orders to parts manufacturers. The third category is the overseas prototype mentality. The so-called “intended order” is just a verbal promise from an overseas integrator to request a prototype for testing. It is neither binding nor prepayment.
