Although large-scale construction has begun in China, the construction of highways and railways is far from being comparable to that of later generations. Therefore, very few logistics parks are actually established now.
Many large factories basically use trucks to pull goods directly from the warehouse, and there is no concept of centralized logistics park operation. Because the toll for land transportation is too expensive now.
If possible, the transportation method chosen by many manufacturers is first sea transportation, which is the cheapest, then railway, and then land transportation.
Therefore, when Miaoshan established logistics parks in seven major provinces in China, many local governments were very enthusiastic about this large investment. But there is no specific concept of what a logistics park is. They generally think that it is just a huge storage warehouse.
However, when the Institute of Physics started to operate, especially when it was distributing goods in large supermarkets near the city, people really saw how efficient a highly efficient logistics park could really be.
Moreover, current e-commerce is undoubtedly the industry that is most inseparable from logistics, because air transportation is not cost-effective, and sea transportation or water transportation is far from meeting the requirements for distributing goods nationwide. Land transportation is the only way to go. .
In later generations, Jingdong obviously felt that it was always inferior to Tmall and Dabao. Every time a promotional period passed, the sales volume always felt that there was a big gap between the two.
But Jingdong still has a market value of hundreds of billions, of which his own logistics system is worth more than tens of billions of dollars. Then there are other assets.
The market value of Alibaba is only so high. In fact, the main core is the success of Alipay's financial services. As for e-commerce, it slowly improved its logistics system later, leaving behind the first competitor. Advantages, to be honest, the net worth may not be able to beat JD.com.
"You've gained weight again, it's time to control it." Yang Dongxu joked when he saw Miaoshan in a teahouse.
Compared with the Mr. Miao who was on the road a few years ago, the current Miao Shan is more like a good person who eats fast and chants Buddha's name. Not even a hint of aggression could be seen on his body, and his whole person felt very kind.
As soon as he puts on the kind of button-up shirt that the elderly people wear and holds a rosary in his hand, he looks like a wise man who has seen through the prosperity and cultivated his character to a certain level.
When a person reaches a certain age, especially when his hair turns gray, as long as his face is not too ferocious and vicious. Basically, a thinner person shows off his character, while someone as fat as Xiang Miaoshan looks kind-hearted.
"I can't lose weight anymore. I can only try my best to control my blood pressure and blood lipids. I finally live a little more comfortably, but I can't owe myself this mouth anymore." Miao Shan put the rosary beads in his hand on the table, picked up the teacup and took a sip. . Even the pretty tea art lady next to him felt that this uncle was very stylish.
"Have you encountered any trouble in the operation of the logistics park?" Yang Dongxu asked.
"Everything went smoothly. We were familiar with the field of large truck transportation when we started. The cargo barcode scanner you asked Dongxu Technology to develop before, and that other software are so easy to use.
All goods coming in and out, scanning the barcode, the production date, the number of pieces, when it was put into the warehouse, what went out of the warehouse, and where it was sent out, everything is clear.
As long as you are careful not to break the packaging when loading and unloading the truck, the entire delivery efficiency will be much more convenient than before. The most troublesome thing now is online shopping.
Although many goods are shipped together by manufacturers, they are sent to different places. All goods are shipped to the logistics park one by one, and they have to be sorted one by one according to which express delivery is from that place, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. "Miao Shan said helplessly.
People are like this. When it can save trouble, they will try to save more trouble. Nowadays, shipping containers and bulk goods is not as troublesome as before, so I thought that the always time-consuming and labor-intensive anti-express sorting would be more convenient.
"The requirements for an automatic sorting instrument or software are a bit high. Even if it can be made, it is worth a lot of money." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
There is only one piece of smart sorting, and if it can be done within ten years, it will be considered fast. There are some things that the basic technology cannot reach, and even if they are barely made, there is no way to achieve cost-effectiveness.
"It's just a bit greedy." Miao Shan couldn't help laughing.
"Do you have any suggestions for the future development of the company?"
"The logistics park is basically enough. Two in the middle, two in the north and south, and one in the west. It can basically cover the whole country.
Therefore, rather than establishing a logistics park, I think what should be more important is specific door-to-door delivery services. However, this is not easy to do at the moment. There are no roads in many places and cars can’t get through at all. Even if we want to deliver it to your door, we can’t. "
Now it can be said that Dafeng Logistics has basically completed all construction of the superstructure. The logistics park is now available, and trucks and truck drivers are basically in place.
Now as long as the most downstream couriers are arrested, Dafeng Logistics can basically be smoothed from top to bottom. In Miaoshan's opinion, this structure will not require major rectification in ten years. It only needs to be slightly modified and supplemented according to the development of science and technology.
But now the most downstream distribution service not only requires a large number of couriers, but this road is also a big problem. You said that the couriers can still be recruited and trained, but this road cannot be repaired.
"Let's go to the township level first. Nowadays, roads at the township level across the country are still passable for small trucks. And now broadband has basically reached the township level.
There are basically two types of goods delivered to towns and villages: rural supermarket distribution and online shopping express delivery. So stretching to this level first is basically enough. Let’s wait until the national infrastructure is further developed. Yang Dongxu said.
"This is not easy. You don't know how to do it, and you will be shocked when you do it. You know that our country has 1,636 county-level regions alone. Each county is responsible for a dozen or so towns, even if it is small. With three or four couriers, the number of couriers has increased many times. So even if there are two couriers in one town, there are tens of thousands of people."
Miao Shan couldn't help feeling a little emotional. To be honest, when he was messing around on the road before, he felt like he was already dominating with a hundred or so horses in his hand.
I never thought that one day I would be able to manage the feeding of tens of thousands of people under my command, and this does not include the logistics personnel. If all were included, some large towns would have to allocate more people.
If this stall is completely spread out. The official employees of Dafeng Logistics cost at least 100,000 yuan, not to mention the other people and families who rely on Dafeng Logistics to work.
"Didn't I remind you before to cooperate with the postal service? Every bank in the country counts, even if we take the eldest central bank as an example. No one can have a large number of postal savings base stations. It is standard to have at least one postal savings base in every town." Yang Dongxu Said with a smile.
Miao Shan couldn't help but nodded, "I have to say, before I learned about the postal service first, I always felt that among the domestic banks, the four major state-owned banks were the most powerful, and then the remaining banks felt that Minsheng was richer than the postal service. Look at people's livelihood. Bank business hall, are you looking at the post office?
But I was dumbfounded by this understanding. In terms of having a strong family background, I still feel that the postal service is awesome. Even though there are few business outlets in township offices, farmers in every township deposit money there. Mosquito legs are also meat. Adding up all the meat in the country, the four major banks may not have as much total deposits as the Postal Service. . "
"There is strength when there are many people. This saying also makes sense in the banking industry." Yang Dongxu laughed. Even if a farmer's family only saves 10,000 yuan a year, there are still many farmers.
Moreover, farmers’ savings are very stable, basically unless they encounter major events such as family members getting sick, building a house, or weddings and funerals. It is common to deposit that money in the bank on a regular basis for three to five years.
In recent years, as the country continues to open up the banking industry, there has also been some competition in the traditional banking industry. Many banks have assigned employees the task of collecting deposits.
But it is rare to see Postal Bank employees make news for soliciting deposits, or have other bad things reported to them. In many towns and villages, there is only one bank, the Post Office, so there is no need to rush, they can just wait for depositors to come to their door.
And because there is only a Postal Bank in my hometown, the money earned by so many people working outside must also be deposited in the Postal Bank. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome to have to go to the city bank to get money back home.
"How's the cooperation going?" Yang Dongxu asked.
"We're almost done talking. Our express delivery can go through the postal service's transportation system. The online store can also be built through the postal service, or even open a separate counter at the postal service, which will save a lot of trouble at once." Shan said.
"The other party doesn't want anything less, right?"
"That's not good." Miao Shan even spoke in Northeastern dialect.
The Postal Service has a strong financial background, but this financial strength has become obsolete over the years. Basically, what postal savings in villages and towns looked like 20 years ago is basically the same now except for the installation of more computers.
Moreover, the more outlets there are, the more people there are. Add in the retired people and the new ones recruited every year. No matter how rich the Postal Service is, it will not have more money to spend on improving its own system.
Therefore, the township online store post office provides Dafeng logistics with convenience, especially in modern logistics and transportation in big cities. In addition to those special materials and special express delivery, Dafeng Logistics needs to help share the pressure on the postal service.
It allowed him to take a breather and see if he could take the opportunity to adjust and optimize the already tense and congested logistics and transportation. After all, with the rise of e-commerce now, anyone who is not blind can roughly see the importance of logistics in the future.
Haven't you seen that Ma Fengyun has been hurriedly trying to get rid of Dafeng with his own logistics in the past few years?
As the immediate boss in the express delivery industry, he is still the absolute leader in this industry. If the Post Office is determined to adjust, then other logistics companies will basically have nothing to do.
Even a logistics company like Dafeng Logistics, which was the first to try it out and was willing to spend money, can at best be top-notch, and the boss position must be Postal Service.
It's just that it's hard to turn around a big ship. This doesn't mean that reform means reform or transformation means transformation. This is also the reason why Yang Dongxu invested a lot of money to promote the rapid deployment of Dafeng Logistics.
Taking advantage of the fact that the boss is now too big and difficult to adjust, we should capture the market first. When the boss also wants to do this, at least there will be a market that can hold on.
