Chapter 1607

Huaxia railway is experiencing rapid development at the present stage. To improve the operation speed and transport capacity has always been a problem that the railway department has been trying to solve. Therefore, the first, second and third time in China The nth speed increase.

For a long time, there are three problems plaguing the railway transportation in China. One is that the railway operation mileage is not enough, the other is that the operation speed is not enough and the traction load is not enough.

On the one hand, the railway department hopes to improve the operation efficiency of the existing line by increasing the speed of passenger cars, on the other hand, it also hopes to achieve freight efficiency by increasing the traction weight of a single train.

Over 20 years ago, more than 400 ND5 diesel electric locomotives from GE in the United States brought a huge promotion to the freight transportation of China Railway. These old and strong locomotives even contributed to the existing railway more than ten years later;

now, the railway department has put forward the top peak work of China's internal combustion Passenger Locomotives - DF11G diesel locomotive, which is matched with 25t series from Bombardier technology in Canada The bottom of the train, this set of combination, is the highest combination of China's railway passenger transport before the take-off of China's high-speed railway.

According to the information received by senior brother Liu, the DF11G of Qishuyan Locomotive factory has started to go offline in large quantities and is ready to be allocated to each bureau section, while the 25t underbody of Sifang Bombardier vehicle factory is also in mass production.

25t series underbody, including yz25t, rz25t, yw25t, rw25t and XL25T, with the initial letter representing their use, such as hard seat, soft seat, hard sleeper, soft sleeper, and luggage.

The car bottom suitable for high-speed driving has very high requirements for bogie. This series of car bottom are designed with a construction speed of 180 km, and can realize the operation of more than 20 hours at 160 hours without stop.

This data can basically ensure that the train will not stop from any first tier city in China to another first tier city.

When Li Mu really started to do logistics, he knew how big the transportation capacity was. It was like the bandwidth problem of the Internet industry at this stage. The upper limit was very low and it was difficult to improve.

At present, China's civil aviation is not developed enough, and the total volume of belly cargo warehouse is very limited, which is not enough for Taobao logistics. Therefore, Taobao logistics needs a faster transportation channel with large capacity.

If there is no such technical innovation as DF11G and 25t bottom, if traditional freight diesel locomotive is adopted to pull the common luggage bottom, the speed per hour can reach 80km / h, and the most embarrassing thing is that the priority of passenger transport on the existing line is higher than that of freight transport, so freight trains are basically slow, stop and go, such railway transport, for Taobao logistics The pursuit of high efficiency of small logistics companies, it is not significant.

However, if the railway department can use the DF11G and 25t bottom to open a special train for Taobao logistics, and give it the same priority as the direct and special trains, then it can go to the destination smoothly, and the efficiency will be improved several times at a time.

Therefore, the railway transportation, which was not attractive to Li Mu at first, suddenly became a hot spot in his eyes, making him crazy.

In his eyes, this kind of change, just like the era of Internet bandwidth booming, suddenly one day, the bandwidth reached a new height, and Youtube came out.

In the eyes of ordinary users, YouTube is just a new way of playing in the Internet life. But in the eyes of practitioners, when the global Internet bandwidth and data computing ability can support global users to visit youtube and watch videos online, they see a new era.

But in other words, the railway sector is a state-owned sector, and they need to consider the national passenger and freight lines. Therefore, it is difficult to provide personalized customized services for private enterprises under normal circumstances. That is to say, although the railway sector has such a powerful thing, whether it is willing to use it for private enterprises is a big problem.

Therefore, Li Mu asked elder martial brother Liu to make an oral military order, communicate with the railway department as soon as possible, and strive to win the special express luggage train for Taobao logistics.

What's more, Li Mu's planned route is that in the first stage, he must take down Yanjing to Shanghai stock market and break through the Beijing Shanghai line; then take down Shanghai stock market to Yangcheng and break through the Beijing Guangzhou line, and use these three cities to connect the eastern part of the mainland, and then break through Yanjing to Yudu and Yudu to Shanghai stock market, so as to link up the central region;

in the second stage, he must extend from Yanjing to the Northeast outside the pass, at least first Through Beijing and Shenyang, then from the capital of Henan to the west, through Chang'an, then from Shanghai to Chengdu;

if these two stages can be achieved, then the efficiency of Taobao logistics in the country's express delivery turnover will be greatly improved. At that time, even all land transportation can achieve 48 hours of delivery in the main areas of the country, except for the southwest and northwest border areas, all of them can achieve 72 hours of delivery 。

In front of elder martial brother Liu and master Lei, Li Mu spread out a map of China and popularized the concept of time effective zone, a logistics concept he planned for them, with three colored pens.

The red pen stands for the 24-hour time effective zone;

the blue pen stands for the 48 hour time effective zone;

the black pen stands for the 72 hour time effective zone;

Li Muxian used the red pen to circle the three cities of Yanjing, Shanghai and Yangcheng, and said to the two people: "in my eyes, the development of express logistics is the division and expansion of the time effective zone. When we started to do this, First, the first tier cities will be included in the 48 hour time effective zone, and the radiated surrounding areas will be included in the 72 hour time effective zone. Then, by enhancing the speed and efficiency of trunk logistics between the three cities, the first tier cities will be included in the 24-hour time effective zone, and the radiated surrounding areas will be included in the 48 hour time effective zone. ""Then, we added more point-to-point trunk transportation. From the first tier city to the first tier city, it is the point-to-point trunk transportation. From the first tier city to the second tier city, it is also the point-to-point trunk transportation. From the second tier city to the second tier city, it can be the point-to-point trunk transportation. In this way, more 72 hour time effective areas can be upgraded to 48 hour time effective areas;"

"In this stage, if we want to develop further, we need to make greater use of aviation to upgrade the point-to-point air transportation of trunk lines, handle more air cargo warehouse resources, handle more freighter resources, and even build our own freighter fleet."

When Li Mu mentioned that he wanted to set up his own fleet, senior brother Liu and master Lei looked forward to it. Like Li Mu, they were deeply aware of the pain point of the logistics industry, either that the transportation was not enough or that the transportation was not fast enough. Therefore, they also knew how significant it would be to the whole logistics system if they had their own cargo transportation fleet.

In the last life, Shunfeng is the first private logistics enterprise to develop its fleet. The development mode of Shunfeng fleet is relatively stable. It starts from two mobile phones, one for one, which seems to be too big and risky. However, Shunfeng soon tasted the advantage of owning its own cargo aircraft from the high-speed development of Huaxia e-commerce, and then continuously expanded itself The size of the fleet.

Li Mu also knows that in the future, no matter whether Taobao logistics goes to sea or not, there must be a fleet. For bulk logistics, they pay attention to railway and road at home and shipping at international level, but for small logistics, no matter at home or abroad, airplanes are the main force to win.

Li Mu said to the two people, "in the future, there are two ways for us to set up an airline and develop our own cargo fleet. The first is to be steady and steady. For example, when we first buy two cargo planes over ten years old, and only two planes, the long-distance trunk transportation from feiyanjing to Yangcheng will give full play to the advantage of aviation timeliness to the greatest extent. When there are four planes When there are eight airplanes, they can cover the central region, the northeast region and the western region. When there are sixteen airplanes, they can cover more provincial capitals, even the northwest and southwest borders. "

"The second is to fight high. We can invest at least eight full cargo aircraft in the way of financing, loan, purchase and lease at the beginning, directly activate the domestic hub cities, and then multiply on this basis."

"Mr. Li, this kind of asset investment may be too heavy. We have invested a lot of money in logistics at present. We need to invest more money in the further development of automation in the future," Lei said

Li Mu said: "money is never the most critical issue. The question is whether we can make the best use of everything once we start our own fleet, once we have eight or sixteen freight planes. Taobao has sufficient cash flow and redundant funds to supply blood to the logistics. Muye technology as a standby blood bank is always ready to provide blood for Taobao logistics when it is most needed For interest free loans calculated by hundreds of millions of dollars, if Muye technology is listed in the first half of next year, our cash reserves will exceed 10 billion dollars, enough for Taobao logistics to move forward at full speed. "

Said Li Mu: "moreover, for logistics transportation, we don't need to buy new airplanes. We need to purchase all second-hand airplanes. In this way, the cost can be reduced by half."

Professor Lei nodded softly and asked, "when do you think it's appropriate for us to start the fleet construction?"

Li Mu said firmly, "now!"

With that said, Li Mu explained: "now is a good time for Taobao logistics to shine in the world. Like Muye technology, Taobao logistics will become the business card of Chinese enterprises. At this time, we will announce major decisions, which will have the best effect on improving the influence of enterprises. Moreover, at the time when we are the best to play coquetry with the country, the express luggage train should play coquetry and the fleet should play coquetry Construction should also be coquettish. "

"In this case, we will apply for the establishment of Taobao logistics Airlines first," said senior brother Liu

Li Mu asked him, "elder martial brother Liu, you have done a lot of research on logistics. What processes do you need to set up an airline?"

"The most important thing is that the CAAC is required to approve the preparation. We need to submit an application to the CAAC first," Liu said

Li Mu nodded and blurted: "there are two ways for the army. One is responsible for the preparation of the airline company, and the other is to make preparations in advance, including finding suitable aircraft, pilots and airport resources. It's better to dig out a group of experienced people from the current civil aviation system first!"
