Chapter 539

Two days later, President Ma left Yanjing and returned to Hangzhou.

Accompanied by Xu Wenbin, an executive hired by Fang zhe from Shunfeng, he was appointed by Fang Zhe to follow President Ma to Hangzhou to discuss the preparation for the establishment of a logistics company with companies such as three links and one da.

Xu Wenbin was a senior vice president of SF. He has been struggling in the logistics industry for more than ten years and has accumulated rich experience.

After meeting Xu Wenbin, Mr. Ma secretly said that he had Fang Zhe's way. If Fang zhe had not had the idea of entering the logistics industry, why did he dig senior executives to reserve talents early?

In fact, Mr. Ma guessed right. Fang zhe dug Xu Wenbin to prepare for the establishment of a company to solve the last kilometer of express delivery, Fengchao.

Fengchao express cabinet is an intelligent storage equipment laid in communities, office buildings and other areas, which is specially used for temporary storage of express, mail and other sent goods.

If the customer is not at home or it is inconvenient to pick up the express, the courier can directly deposit the express in Fengchao, and then the customer can take out his express from Fengchao at any time.

In the previous life, in 2015, SF jointly invested and built Fengchao technology with express companies such as three links and one Da, and then began to gradually put in and lay Fengchao express cabinets throughout the country.

The emergence of Fengchao express cabinet has greatly improved the delivery speed and efficiency of couriers in the last kilometer. For customers in the same community, couriers no longer need to knock door-to-door upstairs and downstairs as in the past. They only need to put the express in the community directly into Fengchao express cabinet to complete the distribution.

At the same time, for many customers who have no one at home or are inconvenient to receive express, the emergence of Fengchao has also greatly improved their express harvest experience.

However, from the popularity of Fengchao in previous generations, many problems have also been exposed. For example, many couriers directly put express into Fengchao in order to save trouble without the consent of customers.

Sometimes Fengchao's cabinet entry rate is very low, and most cabinets are empty. Sometimes there are too many express, and Fengchao can't fill it at all. Occasionally, some customers forget to pick up the express, resulting in the express staying in the express cabinet for too long, which seriously occupies Fengchao's use efficiency and resource space.

For these problems, Fang zhe was involved in chatting with Xu Wenbin and planning Fengchao system. However, these problems have been encountered in the process of popularization after the establishment of Fengchao.

Before that, how to persuade SF, three links and one Da express companies to willingly put express into Fengchao is the most critical and important.

Finally, Fang Zhe's calculation also hit the logistics company that Ali is about to take the lead in establishing, which was called rookie network in the previous life and has not set a name in this life.

There is no doubt about the business prospect of Fengchao. Now the annual express delivery volume in China is close to 10 billion, and in the previous life, it exceeded 50 billion in 2018, and is increasing by tens of billion every year. Even if only one tenth of the express delivery will use Fengchao, it is 1 billion to 5 billion, billions of pieces.

Assuming that each express using Fengchao charges a deposit fee of 1 yuan, it will be a turnover of 1 billion, 5 billion and billions of yuan.

And this is just the most conservative algorithm!

In the current express delivery, one of the most unreasonable is to package mail home. Suppose customer a lives on the 1st floor and customer B lives on the 10th floor. Although their express fees are the same, the time and other costs spent by the courier in the delivery process are different, which is equal to that customer a apportions the distribution cost for customer B.

Therefore, in the future, after the popularity of Fengchao system, in order to improve the distribution efficiency, it is an inevitable event for express companies to charge additional service fees for delivery home.

Assuming that there is an extra charge of 3 yuan for delivery to the home, and the Fengchao downstairs of the community is free or only 1 yuan, I believe most customers will choose to use Fengchao.

In this way, with the passage of time, the entry rate of Fengchao system will be higher and higher. If half of the hundreds of billions of express deliveries in China use Fengchao in 2025, the annual turnover of Fengchao will exceed 50 billion!

This does not include various income such as express detention fee and advertising fee. In a word, Fengchao's business prospect is unlimited!

Although the prospect of imagination is good, at this stage, in order to promote Fengchao system, laying Fengchao express cabinets at a loss and allowing users to use express cabinets free of charge are necessary commercial means. In recent years, they include travel subsidies for kuaan taxi, free distribution when hungry, reduction of red envelopes, etc.

Free first, wait for users to get used to it, and then charge after monopolizing the market. This routine has been tried and tested!

In March, when Xu Wenbin went to Hangzhou for negotiation with Fang zhe Gou through many cooperation conditions, Huizhong announced a heavy news that shocked the world: the total number of wechat users in the world exceeded 1 billion!

One billion! What is the concept of 1 billion? The total population of Europe is only 740 million, the total population of China is nearly 1.4 billion, and the total global population surveyed in 2012 just exceeded 7 billion.

This means that the total number of wechat users has exceeded the total number in Europe, accounting for seven tenths of the total number in China and one seventh of the total number in the world!

One in every seven people in the world uses wechat!

Terror! Unimaginable terror!

When the Internet was born, people never thought that the number of users of an Internet product could exceed 100 million, but later, the number of users of Internet products such as Yahoo, Google and QQ broke 100 million one after another.

Until later, people raised the threshold to 1 billion. So far, except for Google, which covers the world, the number of users of search engines has exceeded 1 billion, other Internet products have gradually touched their own ceiling.

1 billion, just like an astronomical figure, is an unimaginable number of users of countless Internet products. However, today, wechat, an Internet product less than four years old, has crossed this threshold.

It's not like QQ or other Internet products. There are a lot of small false accounts. It's not like Google search. You can use it by opening the page without registering an account.

Wechat is a social software, a mobile social software specially tailored for smart phones.

Such a software has more than 1 billion users. While marveling at the infinite potential of the mobile Internet, people are even more amazed at wechat, the most dazzling product in the mobile Internet era.

The New York Times columnist commented:

"I used to think that the mobile Internet was just an extension of the computer Internet, but now I find I'm wrong.

The mobile Internet era is a greater era than the Internet era, and the software wechat made by the Chinese is the most dazzling crown of this era! "
