Chapter 1606

Since the rapid development of Taobao and Taobao logistics in brand day and SARS, Li Mu has not found a suitable opportunity to promote the hard power behind Taobao and Taobao logistics.

Traditional boasting is OK, but the effect is not so good and not so fried. The best way is to pretend to be invisible.

The highest level of invisible force is not that I say I'm good at it, but that I show it and let others say I'm good at it.

Therefore, Li Mu deliberately wants to take William to visit, in fact, it is intended to show the development of Taobao and Taobao logistics to the outside world through him.

Especially in the western world, they know Muye technology very well, but for Taobao and Taobao logistics, they basically only heard about and know that this company is also Li Mu's, but they have no concept of how the company is doing.

Li Mu also wants to show his Taobao and Taobao logistics to the western world from the perspective of William. At this stage, he has reached the height and scale to let the western people know something about Taobao and Taobao logistics.

Taobao and Taobao logistics are very different from Muye technology's business. Muye technology's business is a complete online business, so it can expand its business to any corner of the world along the Internet, but Taobao and Taobao logistics are not enough.

E-commerce is almost an online and offline industry. It's easy to expand to overseas markets, but the offline part is very difficult, and logistics is even more difficult. After so many years of development, e-commerce has not really made a great reputation overseas.

Even at this stage, with the rapid development of Muye technology, Li Mu has no plan to let Taobao and Taobao logistics go to sea.

However, if we are not ready to go to sea for the time being, it is not that we are not prepared to go abroad for development in the future.

During the rapid rise of Amazon in the next decade, Li Mu is still very familiar with it. Once Taobao and Taobao logistics have accumulated enough strength in China, they are bound to invest a lot of money to tie the two products to the sea.

It's not the time to go to sea, but it's necessary to do a good job of publicity in advance. What's more, it's more effective than other means to advertise the western world through William.

After the news of William's visit to Taobao logistics was released, Li Mu's plan got excellent feedback. Most people in western countries have an impression of China, and they are still in a backward and unopened prejudice thinking. In their eyes, the success of Muye technology is an example of overtaking on the internet corner, but it can't represent the rapid development of private enterprises in this country Exhibition stage.

However, the whole information-based process of Taobao logistics, from storage to sorting to transportation, has fooled the whole western people.

Li Mu can confidently say that no matter in any country in the world, the small goods logistics is far more advanced than Taobao logistics!

The reason is very simple. E-commerce in any country is far from the rapid and mature development of China. Therefore, small parts logistics has not reached the peak of demand in any other country. In this case, the enterprises involved in small parts logistics have no power to innovate.

But Taobao is not the same. Facing the huge market with a population of 1.3 billion, Li Mu has a set of mature guiding ideology more than ten years later, and enough financial and technical strength to support it. He quickly made the 2C end of e-commerce bigger and stronger.

And 2c, that is, e-commerce for ordinary consumers, most of the orders belong to small parts logistics, so Li Mu naturally has enough power to quickly promote the strength of Taobao logistics in small parts logistics.

Because of this, Taobao logistics shows the innovation of Chinese private enterprises to the whole world.

At the beginning of the 21st century, there are not many enterprises in the world that can be fully informationized and automated, especially in the traditional industry. It's just a Chinese logistics enterprise that has to work hard to do informationalization and automation. This kind of almost sci-fi like operation process is enough to shock the people all over the world.

For a while, the whole western media almost agreed to appreciate Taobao logistics. Many media even think that Taobao logistics is a model for the development of private enterprises in the world. Its consciousness is ahead of the times of traditional industries.

Even the German media in their own reports, sour said: "Li Mu took away our automatic sorting system, took away our heavy trucks, and then like magic, came up with a set of such a grand and advanced logistics system. They even installed chips, RF system and GPS positioning system in every German truck. What are we thinking about Let trucks run farther and faster, while Li Mu connected our trucks to the Internet, making them part of the Internet system... "

Japan's media is the most sour, they said: "our GDP is higher than that of China, but there is no Internet enterprise in our country that can compete with Muye technology. Oh no, there seems to be no Internet enterprise in our country. As for small logistics, it feels like the package volume of Taobao logistics in a day is close to the whole year of Japan..."

Proud British media said: "thank you Prince William for opening our eyes and breaking our consistent self-confidence and arrogance. Taobao logistics, a sci-fi operation process, is enough for every British enterprise to study hard for a period of time. What we need to reflect is why we have never tried our best to make a system work like Taobao logistics Better. "The American media, which has always been a pioneer in science and technology, also expressed the same view: "it's just ordinary small logistics. In the eyes of Americans, it's just mailing a postcard from one city to another. It doesn't need to be very fast, as long as it can arrive before Christmas or new year. Even though the postcard was only sent in October, Li Mu, who is far away in China But we are trying to shorten the logistics time between most cities in this country to within 24 hours. It's also a postcard. In the United States, you need to be prepared one or two months in advance, or you will miss the festival. But in China, as long as you think about it the day before the festival, you can send the postcard to your friends on time. This is the gap in doing things, but in the end Bottom is the gap of entrepreneur's thinking

In the face of praise from all over the world, Li Mu was extremely satisfied, and at the same time, he was not worried about the leakage of secrets.

Elder martial brother Liu and Lei are still worried about whether Li Mu has disclosed too much, or even publicized his own algorithm, logic and processing scheme for pressing the bottom of the box, which will benefit potential competitors in the future.

Li Mu didn't care at all. Instead, in Taobao's high-level conference room, he confidently said to the two of them: "small logistics is so crazy about information and automation. Only we have the ability to do it, and only we have the need to do it."

"If you look at UPS, it's a big business, and its business is all over the world. Where did their money go? Fleet, constantly expand the fleet, own hundreds of aircraft, and lease hundreds of them. Under such a heavy asset model, you can let them realize comprehensive automation and informatization in a short time around the world, update automation equipment and all storage equipment for all the world's logistics hubs, and soon they will be dragged down! "

"The larger the scale is, the more difficult it is to make a comprehensive innovation. The cost is too high. The CEO has no such courage, nor does the board of directors. They can only upgrade and innovate a little bit, and take a long time to complete the iteration of the whole system."

"On the other hand, small and medium-sized logistics enterprises are already struggling to survive under the attack of large enterprises, and they don't have enough capital support. What can we do to imitate us? What's more, as far as the logistics management system we use now is concerned, only a large Internet R & D company can make it. With so much work to do, such as architecture design, software support, hardware design, software and hardware linkage debugging, combination optimization, and leak detection and defect filling, the comprehensive R & D cost of a system must be more than ten million dollars, and the maintenance cost behind it is also staggering Who can afford it? "

Elder martial brother Liu was stunned and scratched his head and said: "so, there are not many people who can afford to play..."

"Lei also said with a smile:" listen to the analysis of President Li, I'm much more down-to-earth

Li Mu said with a smile: "not every logistics company has a Taobao network and Muye technology behind it. In the future, the hardware laboratory of Muye technology will continue to develop in the field of software and hardware development of intelligent equipment, and our informatization level can be further improved. Next, we need to further increase the construction of domestic distribution centers, and use more distribution centers to disperse the core pivot New York's pressure, at the same time, also uses more advanced technology and equipment to improve our overall turnover efficiency. "

"The next step is to continue to build storage and sorting centers, especially in the southeast," Liu said

Li Mu nodded and said, "storage capacity and operation efficiency are on the one hand, and transportation capacity is on the other hand. Our fleet will continue to expand. At the same time, we will continue to increase cooperation with civil aviation, strive to sign long-term strategic cooperation agreements with several major airlines, and take most of their aircraft warehouse resources."

Said Li Mu: "elder martial brother Liu, I heard that the country is planning to speed up the railway for the fifth time. Do you know about this?"

Elder martial brother Liu immediately said, "I understand that this acceleration is different from the past, and the movement is very big."

Li Mu asked him, "what are the specific performances?"

"I have a high school classmate who studies mechanics and works as an engineer in Qishuyan Locomotive Factory. I heard that I wanted to talk to him after the big speed increase. He told me something about the hardware level," Liu said

Li Mu came to be interested and said, "talk about it."

"Qishuyan Locomotive factory has developed a new group of double locomotive double locomotive passenger locomotives, the model is DF11G. The biggest difference between this locomotive and other Dongfeng locomotives is that it runs fast. The design maximum speed is 170 kilometers per hour, which is very remarkable," said Liu

"Master Lei asked curiously," Mr. Liu, I'm interrupting. What is double plane reconnection

"It's two locomotives running together, and DF11G is a fixed two locomotives running together, so the traction power will be greater, the acceleration is high, and it's suitable for fast running."

Li Mu asked him, "brother Liu, what are the main uses of these new locomotives?"

Mr. Liu said: "of course, in terms of passenger transport and railway transport, the freight transport is more slow running, while the passenger transport is less fast running. The design of a locomotive with a speed of 170 kilometers per hour is born to do passenger transport. It is said that the railway department is going to use this locomotive to run the direct special train between the first and second tier cities in China, that is, the z-head. Generally speaking, the distance between Yanjing and Shanghai can be realized It's lateLi Mu asked again, "what's the good news for us?"

"We do small logistics, which is more similar to passenger transport. It's the most suitable way to travel, pack and express," Liu said. In the future, if such direct and special trains are opened from provincial capitals to first tier cities, the speed will be much faster than our automobile transportation, and the load and cost will be much lower than air transportation. They are just in the middle of land transportation and air transportation, with high cost performance. The simplest thing is that we can directly seek cooperation from the railway department. For each direct and special train, we can contract one or two carriages, or even apply for them Open point-to-point express line package special train. "

Speaking of this, Mr. Liu got excited and said: "Mr. Li, you can think of a container truck with a 40 foot cabinet and a capacity of 50 cubic meters. However, the XL25T car bottom from the railway department is designed at a speed of 180 km / h, which fully matches the DF11G. Moreover, the effective volume of its single car is more than 160 cubic meters, and one car can hold three containers Freight cars, 20 wagons for a special train, 60 container wagons on the top of this train! "

When Li Mu heard the data, he was excited.

Elder martial brother Liu continued: "you see, the design speed is 170 kilometers per hour, which means that at eight o'clock tonight, the truck will be loaded from Yanjing to Shanghai at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. At the same distance, the container truck will run for almost 24 hours. What's the gap? If the railway department is willing to open a special train for us, one train a day, two trains from Shanghai and Yanjing, 12 hours, can exchange 120 containers of goods between the two cities! This efficiency is not much slower than that of an airplane! The key is large capacity and high cost performance! "

Li Mu's eyes suddenly brightened and blurted out: "this is reliable! If we can open a special train for luggage and bags between big hubs, our whole turnover speed and transportation capacity will be improved a lot. The improvement of speed and transportation capacity is also a huge promotion for Taobao's business development, which is too important for us! "

After that, Li Mu said to Liu, "elder martial brother, we need to find a way to establish in-depth cooperation with the railway department. We firmly support the large-scale railway speed increase and are willing to become the first batch of cooperative enterprises for the large-scale railway speed increase. In any case, we have to beg the railway department to open several special express trains for us, even if we spend more money, we have to find a way to win it! At this stage, capacity and efficiency are far more important to us than money! "
