Wan Jin, a retired soldier and vice president of of Blue Pigeon Group, said that many of the backbones of his company are retired soldiers. , "Retired soldiers dare to chew hard bones, so we specially organized the backbone of retired soldiers into a research and development group to carry out technical research on related products."

For Robot Technology Co., Ltd., it has taken root in the field of intelligent equipment and provided more than 600 employment positions.
