I’m afraid no one can figure out the total amount of goods stored by these leading domestic e-commerce and supermarket groups.
But take ID, an e-commerce company that is not considered the top in the country, as an example. ID’s self-built logistics warehouse alone can accommodate at least 30 million cubic meters of goods.
The total value exceeds ten trillion dragon coins.
And this is just an ID.
According to rough statistics from analysts at the Ministry of Commerce of the Spark Consortium, the total value of domestic logistics and storage alone exceeds 80 trillion dragon coins.
Even excluding the high-premium electronic products, cosmetics, etc., the basic survival supplies in the apocalypse such as rice, flour, grains, oils, and frozen pork alone are at least more than 10 trillion dragon coins.
The layout of the domestic logistics and warehousing industry is rapid, and the advancement of overseas markets is not slow either.
The cost of logistics and warehousing services has almost halved, which is a huge temptation that all relevant e-commerce and supermarket companies cannot ignore.
Soon, the Spark Consortium finalized cooperation intentions with Amazon, eBay, which ranks first and second in overseas markets, and Wal-Mart, the world's largest supermarket chain.
Spark Consortium's logistics and warehousing bases have been established in more than 1,250 cities in 86 major countries and regions around the world.
As early as when the plan was finalized, this unprecedented large-scale logistics base construction project had already started.
The major domestic construction engineering companies, which were still worried about the industry's downturn and faced the threat of layoffs and bankruptcy, instantly started operating at full capacity.
It’s not just the 356 large-scale logistics bases in Longguo.
There are still more logistics bases waiting to be built in overseas markets.
The Xinghuo Consortium headquarters only has requirements for the construction period of the logistics and warehousing construction project, which is to be as fast as possible.
The plan aims to complete the construction of all logistics bases within half a year, and it must be connected with various e-commerce and supermarket groups within 9 months to be officially put into operation.
The construction schedule was so tight that it was unheard of.
But this is not impossible for the Spark Consortium, which has completed the acquisition of major domestic construction engineering companies.
As a representative of the financial investment department of the Spark Consortium, Wang Xiaoyu was assigned to handle the specific construction of the logistics and warehousing project.
To put it simply, it serves as a headquarters supervisor.
Major domestic e-commerce companies, supermarket groups and the Spark Consortium have just signed relevant cooperation plans. Just three days have passed and the construction of the first logistics and warehousing base located on the outskirts of Magic City has been announced to be completed.
Such an exaggerated construction speed made Wang Xiaoyu, who is responsible for tracking the investment status of the financial sector, stunned.
Only when he arrived at the site did he understand why the construction speed could be so exaggerated.
The exterior wall of the cement gray logistics base is more than 30 meters high.
The shape of the entire logistics base can be described as rigid and boxy, with no sense of beauty at all.
The exterior walls are entirely made of reinforced concrete.
There is only one gate in the entire logistics base, which is made of welded steel iron plates. It is as heavy and thick as the ancient knife-style city gate, and it is opened and closed by hinge lifting.
Compared with the glass curtain walls and green decoration of the park in other logistics parks, this logistics base owned by the Spark Consortium can no longer simply be described as "unsightly".
It's almost to the point of being ugly.
"Why does it feel like a prison when I look at it?"
Wang Xiaoyu looked confused after getting out of the car.
If some barbed wire fences were installed on the outer wall of this logistics base, some people might believe the claim that it was a prison.
He really didn't want to believe that such an 'ugly' building would come from a professional design institute within the consortium.
However, the words of the representative of the construction unit responsible for the docking completely shattered his illusions.
“We built it according to the drawings you gave us.
Well, look at it, it’s just square on the drawing, we just restored it to the same proportions.
But to be honest, I think this is quite reasonable.
It was originally a logistics and warehousing base, used to store things. What’s the point of making it so beautiful?
You see, we use high-standard reinforced concrete. The construction quality of this logistics base is certainly unparalleled!
It is no exaggeration to say that even if you use a 150 mm caliber heavy artillery to bombard it, you may not be able to blow up the outer wall. "
Wang Xiaoyu was speechless as he listened to the project leader bragging in front of him.
'Silly, big, black and thick' turned out to be an advantage?
'No, even if it can withstand 150mm heavy artillery, what's the use?
Don't you think this thing is built like a prison? '
Wang Xiaoyu was wailing in his heart, but he didn't express anything publicly. After all, he represented the headquarters of the Spark Consortium and could not lose his composure in front of outsiders.
“The logistics base is also equipped with high-power diesel generators, which, combined with energy reserves, can provide energy supply for at least one month for low-power operation logistics bases in the event of a city-wide power outage.
Oh, by the way, it is also equipped with living facilities with at least 50 security personnel on duty.
I heard that in the future, the head office will equip each logistics base with security forces.
We also specially built eight guard towers around the outer wall of the logistics base to facilitate the security personnel stationed at the base for observation. . . "
Listening to the introduction of the project leader, Wang Xiaoyu felt more and more weird.
Why does this look more and more like a prison?
And a 50-person security force? It’s still around the magic city, so there’s no need, right?
"Good guy, if we equip each person inside with an automatic rifle and a few light and heavy machine guns.
Behind closed doors, this logistics base looks like a military fortress!
The outer wall is more than 30 meters, and there are guard towers and blockhouses around it. The high ground fights the low ground, and there is cross fire, which gives them an advantage.
No matter how many people come outside to attack, as long as they don't have heavy weapons, they won't be able to get in! "
The driver who followed also started discussing with great interest.
Wang Xiaoyu was also stunned when he heard the driver's words.
Many of the driver masters in the financial investment branch are recruited from veterans.
Master Liu, who was responsible for picking him up and transporting him, had served in the domestic main battle force, so he naturally still had basic military qualities.
The advantages of this logistics base as a military facility can be seen at a glance.
Military fortress? machine gun? Crossfire?
As soon as these ridiculous-sounding images appeared in Wang Xiaoyu's mind, he shook his head and threw them away.
This is a peaceful time. Although this place is located in a relatively remote suburb, it is also the suburb of the magic city, and it is not a lawless place.
The Spark Legion's logistics base was violently besieged by outlaws?
Are the consortium security personnel resisting with weapons in the base?
Don't be kidding, Wang Xiaoyu would rather believe that a zombie crisis will break out in the world than think that such a thing will happen in the suburbs of Shanghai.
