Chapter 730

For a vast country, the problem that more than 20 trucks can solve seems to be very small, but if these 20 trucks are really used well, it can play a very big role.

Each truck is given the responsibility to achieve rapid turnover between the six storage bases and the provincial capital cities within the coverage area.

This is a battle of trunk transportation. Taobao's own team is responsible for the 24-hour non-stop trunk transportation. The rest of the branch transportation and terminal distribution are distributed to the postal system of each province. That is to say, although Shenzhen's shipment accounts for half of the total pre-sale volume, all the pressure is left to Shenzhen, which has been divided into all parts of the country by Taobao.

This greatly avoids the congestion of the distribution center, and shares the pressure of transportation capacity to the greatest extent. Li Mu feels that if he puts this out, boss Ma will have nothing to do.

Generally speaking, the choice of storage base is the city with relatively central effect in geographical location, and the land traffic conditions are excellent. For example, Yanjing, Shanghai stock market and Yangcheng are the cities with all kinds of land traffic. Moreover, these 20 trucks do not need to run down to the market counties and towns. They only run the provincial capital cities. The best land traffic conditions are from the first tier cities to the first tier cities and the second tier cities The route between cities, so more than 20 vehicles are almost all high-speed in the whole process, and the turnover efficiency is very high.

In Yangcheng and Shanghai, two distribution centers that cover more than half of online shopping consumers, a large number of part-time temporarily recruited personnel, under the leadership of a professional team, are constantly packing, delivering and sorting. Within three to five hours, no matter whether the truck is full or not, they should start as soon as possible and send the sorted goods out first. When they rush to transport, a large number of packages are Continue to sort it out, get ready and wait for them to take it away next time.

There are a large number of postal employees and vehicles in the postal distribution center of each province. Generally, the postal service does not have such high efficiency and professionalism. However, due to the very good public relations work of Taobao, the relationship with the postal service has been quite close. In a word, leaders of each Province require employees to give priority to the package transportation of taobao.com as for taobao.com The parcels should be sorted quickly, transported preferentially and dispatched in advance.

For example, in Zhejiang Province where boss Ma is located, the large trucks from Shanghai stock market are loaded with packages from Zhejiang Province and quickly rush to the outskirts of Hangzhou city. After all packages are handed over to the post, employees of Zhejiang post work overtime in the morning to sort the packages sent by Taobao. After sorting them out according to the major cities under the jurisdiction of Zhejiang Province, they load dozens of waiting vans, and then Set out against the stars.

The Shanghai market in Hangzhou is very close. The first batch of goods arrived at Hangzhou post sorting center just before 5 a.m. and the rapid sorting lasted until 7:30. Dozens of box light trucks of post started to go to every prefecture level city under Zhejiang Province. The farthest one was only five or six hours' drive, that is to say, by about 12 noon, the first The parcels of Zhejiang Province will be delivered to the prefecture level cities where the consumers are located. Basically, the parcels will be delivered in the afternoon of the same day and in the morning of the next day in remote areas.

Because of the continuous improvement of social efficiency, people's thinking in 2016 is more efficient than that in 2002, and the requirements for efficiency are far higher than that in 2002. Therefore, Li Mucai will do everything to ensure the rapid and efficient logistics turnover of Taobao. His high requirements and goals even exceed users' psychological expectations.

Faster than the user wants, which is also one of Li Mu's core requirements for its own logistics system.

Li Mu, on taobao.com, and Liu Qidong, as well as Taobao employees working overtime, saw two things together. After the turnover exceeded 800 million yuan, he beckoned Liu Qidong to return to his office. Now, the daily progress of the brand doesn't need to be watched at all times. Everything in its front and back office is running well, destined to create a miracle. He doesn't need to witness how the miracle works Step by step, waiting patiently for the result is the best choice. Besides, Li Mu has more important things to discuss with Liu Qidong.

When the money arrives, the self built logistics system will be launched quickly. At present, nothing is more important than it.

After they sat down in the office, Li Mu said to Liu Qidong, "senior brother, Wan Ying has already printed out the money. The self built logistics system needs to enter the official stage immediately. Have you planned how to spend the five billion yuan?"

Liu Wudong knew that the money was coming, so he was excited for two days to think about how to carry out the work after the money arrived. Now that the money has finally arrived, Liu Wudong's brain filled plan can finally be realized. He simply combed it out and said: "the first thing after the money arrived is to expand and upgrade our six major storage bases in an all-round way, and upgrade them into all The second thing is to make use of the middle and high-level logistics companies we have dug, invest in the establishment of logistics outlets all over the country, set up local teams, and take full responsibility for delivery and receipt; the third thing is to establish a logistics transportation network, in addition to the aviation resources to be obtained as soon as possible, the most important thing is that we should Immediately expand the scale of our own fleet. The land transportation conditions of the whole third step are very good. The bulk logistics needs a strong point-to-point transportation capacity by land. In addition, our local point-to-surface transportation also needs a large number of trucks. "

Li Mu nodded and interrupted Liu Kaidong for a while, saying, "I'll put in a word first, these three things you said are important and urgent, and the order is naturally the first thing, but I have another important but not urgent thing. Recently, you sent a competent person abroad to investigate the solution of the automatic sorting equipment of the logistics company. Now we have this system It may not be able to play, but this facility is a must in the near future. The automatic sorting equipment with our full information logistics management system can create a real sense of high-speed and efficient logistics. "Liu immediately said: "I have known this before. Now the most advanced solution comes from German Berman machinery. The solution cost of a logistics distribution center is about 60 to 80 million yuan. If it is a super large distribution center, the cost will be higher. However, this system is not available in China yet. The old sorting system used by the postal boss is not very efficient High. "

When Li Mu heard Liu Kaidong's saying, he knew that he had been paying attention to this situation for a long time. He nodded his head with great satisfaction and said: "then send an individual to Germany Berman to investigate. We need to know the operation mode and efficiency of the whole system, as well as its unit cost. If we can sort 50000 parcels every day, how much is needed for 100000 parcels , make a systematic investigation, and then we can judge when the system is more suitable according to our actual situation. "

Liu Qiangdong nodded, saying: "this system is really important, but I think we should not consider getting on the horse in the last two years. The cost is too high. If the sorting center of our logistics distribution centers around the country is set up, the sorting with human resources and conveyor belt can last for at least a few years, and the domestic logistics will not develop to such a high demand in two or three years."

Li Mu smiled: "whether this system is needed depends not only on the development of Taobao in the future, the demand of market transportation capacity, but also on our capital operation. If there is sufficient capital, the cost that must be invested sooner or later, or the sooner the better."

"Yes, it depends on how you plan your capital operation," Liu agreed

"Don't worry, I know." Li Mu smiled and said, "besides, what you just said is to prepare for the establishment of logistics transportation network. Land transportation is really important. The heavy trucks responsible for point-to-point transportation and the small and medium-sized Van trucks responsible for point-to-surface transportation will be the most important ones we will purchase in bulk next, especially the heavy trucks. Each truck will carry dozens of tons of logistics express to travel hundreds or even to the top On the way of a thousand kilometers of transportation, the quality of the car must be extremely reliable. Otherwise, if there is a car lying on the ground on the way, it may affect the delivery efficiency of tens of thousands of people. "

Liu Qidong said to Li Mu, "I've learned that the key of heavy trucks is the tractor head. The requirements for the tractor head are not very high in the transportation in plain areas. Brands like Dongfeng, FAW and Steyr are competent. In the first stage, we need at least 50 such heavy trucks, with an overall investment of more than 20 million yuan."

Li Mu waved his hand: "heavy tractors must not save money. In the future, all our heavy tractors will drive at least 800-1000 kilometers a day at a monthly average rate of more than 90%. To ensure the timeliness and stability, more reliable tractors are needed to complete these tasks. Therefore, my requirement is that we must use pure imported tractors. 50% or even 100% of your tractors are free of problems. The key is It's stability, stability, stability! "

"I've learned a lot about imported tractors," Liu said with a nod of his head. "The better truck brands are generally Europe and Japan. There are Mercedes Benz, Volvo, Iveco and Scania in Europe. There are Isuzu and Hino in Japan. The price in Europe is more expensive."

Li Mu nodded: "just buy European heavy truck. I accept other Japanese things. I don't believe them personally."

Liu Kaidong said, "I'll go down and investigate. First, I'll contact the domestic distributors of several heavy truck brands in Europe."

Li Mu said: "OK, don't save money in this link. You just said that several European heavy truck brands can take away Iveco first. Mercedes Benz, Volvo and Scania all buy some. Sometimes the research data is not as good as the accumulated data we use. Let our company judge which brand of vehicle is more suitable in actual use, which is not only related to the car The performance and operation of the system also involve failure rate, convenience of later maintenance and other aspects. When we find the most suitable brand in use, we will increase the purchase later. "

Liu Qidong said, "OK, I'll arrange it."

Li Mu then said: "I'm afraid that at least hundreds of small and medium-sized vans will be needed in the first stage, which is a big order no matter with any vehicle enterprise. Moreover, our core demand for this kind of vehicle is not on the load, but on the stability, portability, rapidity and simple maintenance in the later stage. I suggest you send someone to jinlingyi Vico said, I personally feel that the light passenger cars and light trucks of Vico are very suitable for point-to-surface transportation. "

Liu Kaidong said with a smile, "do you know so much about trucks? Jinling Iveco has also contributed to the enterprises in his hometown. "

Like Li Mu, senior brother Liu is from southern Jiangsu Province. Jinling, as the capital city of the province, the joint venture of IVECO settled in Jinling is naturally considered as a half home enterprise in the hearts of the people of Southern Jiangsu. However, Li Mu didn't really want to take care of the development of the home enterprise, but because in his memory, most of the black Shunfeng transport vehicles in the city are Iveco, and they also travel in the city The red Jingdong transport vehicles on the city road are basically completed by Iveco.

These two companies, one is the largest express logistics company in China, the other is the largest B2C e-commerce self owned logistics system in China. Both logistics systems use Iveco's vehicles as solutions at the end of logistics transportation, which proves that Iveco must be one of the most appropriate solutions. There are many suitable solutions, but since there are predecessors who are themselves Having explored the road, why do you have to search for a new direction?After talking about Iveco, Li Mu said: "by the way, senior brother Liu, let the people under him find a suitable motorcycle manufacturer and order 10000 motor tricycles. The requirement of motor tricycles is that they must have sufficient power and endurance. The manufacturer is required to add a unified cargo box and front windshield for the motor tricycles, and the same as our heavy trucks and small and medium trucks, they must be painted uniformly To install. "

Liu Qidong looked at Li Mu in surprise and asked him, "10000 motorized tricycles? Are you going to solve the last step with a motorized tricycle? "

Li Mu nods and talks about the end distribution. In fact, in Li Mu's mind, the motorized tricycle is the real end distribution overlord!

At present, there are few oil tricycles used in express delivery. Small express delivery is basically bicycles and motorcycles, and large goods are basically light trucks. The former has a weak carrying capacity, and the dispatchers have to turn back to the business site; the latter has a low turnover efficiency, sometimes they can't get around for half an hour in a congested and narrow community, and they are motorized with small containers Tricycles are the best solution.

After the vigorous development of express business in the future and the proficient operation methods of the industry, the express delivery systems of post, SF, Shentong, Zhongtong, Jingdong, etc. all the solutions to the last step of logistics are dispatcher + motorized tricycle, which is the best solution summed up by hundreds of logistics companies in more than ten years. At present, the logistics industry has not developed, and the motorized tricycle still exists Did not emerge in the express industry, then first in their own logistics system to put on the stage!

Liu Qidong can understand why Li Mu needs 10000 motorized tricycles, and he can also see the huge advantages of motorized tricycles. But when Li Mu said that he required the manufacturers to carry out unified coating, he couldn't help asking Li Mu, "what's the name of our self built logistics after all this talk?"
