Chapter 1094 Drive the Opponent to the Third Echelon

Before the reporter came in, Brother Liu stopped the battery car and took Li Mu into the sorting plant. The first automatic sorting system purchased by Taobao Logistics from Berman, Germany, was installed here.

The huge sorting system takes up almost half of the workshop area. The machine has just been installed, and it smells of strong industrial lubricants and rubber. Most of it comes from various bearings and a complete set of conveyor belts.

The shiny lacquer finish of the entire machine made Li Mu's blood boil faintly after seeing it.

He is the son of a worker and grew up in a coal mine. Similar large-scale machinery is not uncommon in coal mines, especially the belt conveyor transported by the coal bunker, which continuously transmits the black coal 24 hours a day, which makes people inexplicably excited. Li Mu I can't help imagining what this sorting system looks like when it is fully powered. The packages sent to various distribution centers across the country are quickly separated, delivered, and aggregated here, and then quickly ready to go to the next destination, this feeling. Think about it with a sense of accomplishment.

The unit price of tens of millions of RMB is really terrifying in this era when the purchasing power of RMB is still very strong. There are many domestic private express companies and enterprises running regional logistics, but all the actual assets of the company can be worth it. Sorting system, few.

However, with such a sorting system, Taobao Logistics has installed six sets in one go.

This is just the beginning. Li Mu's goal is to build at least 12 logistics distribution bases in China, and each distribution base must be equipped with at least two Berman automatic sorting systems. This is the standard for a distribution center. configuration.

In addition, Taobao's self-operated business will gradually increase in the future, and I will also start looking for manufacturers like Berman to solve the problem of automated high-level warehousing. At that time, the capacity of warehousing and the efficiency of entering and leaving the warehouse will be greatly improved. , which is also the solution used by JD.com's self-operated warehouse in later generations.

People with a technical background will never exclude the upgrade of production tools.

Just like Li Mu had no money in his last life, the computers and hardware he used were completely useless, his desktop computer was always dual-screen, and he used the mid-to-high-end configuration on the current market, and his laptop always used Apple's latest products. , especially the Apple notebook, is an indispensable efficient production tool for every technician.

Even the keyboard, Li Mu didn't dare to be sloppy at all. In addition to mobile office, he used mechanical keyboards at other times. The feedback of fingertip strength would make his work more efficient.

Because of this, Li Mu would spend a lot of effort on the automation system in this era of extremely cheap labor in China.

The sorting center originally used a belt conveyor with manual sorting, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive.

After the automatic sorting system is put into use today, the manpower can be reduced by 70%, the efficiency will be greatly improved, and the error rate will be greatly reduced, which will play a crucial role in Taobao Logistics' leading nationwide in the future.

After reading this set of Berman's automatic sorting system, Brother Liu took Li Mu to the next-door factory for temporary storage and indoor loading. In this huge factory, half of the area is a high platform of about one meter. The packaged express packages are neatly stacked, and on the other side, ten imported Mercedes-Benz container-type heavy trucks are parked side by side.

Brother Liu pointed to the Mercedes-Benz heavy truck with strong exhaust and said: "All our long-distance heavy trucks are imported tractors. I have to say that this is very far-sighted. Our tractors have never appeared on the road. In the case of lying in the nest, the occasional failure is also due to the trailer or the tire."

Li Mu said, "Isn't Scania quite reliable, what about our group of Scania leaders?"

Senior Brother Liu smiled and said: "Scania is on the shore of Tianjin City, and the nearest ones are assigned to the north."

Li Mu nodded and said, "The next step is to continue to order heavy-duty tractors from these manufacturers. We now have a comprehensive policy preferential policy for import tax. We will take this opportunity to build our land transportation network first."

Brother Liu said: "We have invested a lot in logistics, basically all of which is made up from Taobao. However, it is not very good to use this precipitation fund all the time. Do you think our Taobao is also like Muye Technology? Bring in a round of financing?"

Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "There must be talks on financing, and it won't be too long, but it can't be now."

Li Mu is now working on the next big banner around SARS. When the time comes to help the government solve the SARS problem, it will also be a good opportunity for Taobao and Taobao logistics to develop rapidly. A few months are enough for Taobao and Taobao logistics. Bringing qualitative improvement, then you can take advantage of that wave to raise funds for financing.

Brother Liu heard Li Mu say it won't be long, basically it is like taking a reassurance. He knows Li Mu very well. In his eyes, Li Mu is simply a midfield master on the football field, and his control of the rhythm is simple. Since he has a plan, he will follow his plan completely.

The automatic sorting machine just now, and the ten Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks waiting to be loaded in front of him made Li Mu feel very proud. At present, Taobao Logistics is already the largest private express delivery company in China, relying on the perfect combination of money, resources and strategy. The first step is to take the initiative to launch an attack on the national express delivery market, and gradually defeat all competitors.

The first thing Li Mu thought of was Shunfeng.

Wang Wei's Shunfeng grew into a behemoth with a market value of more than 200 billion yuan in his last life, but there is still a huge gap compared with the international express delivery giants. Li Mu's current Taobao Express has completely exploded the tailwind in scale, and there is an entire Taobao behind it. With the support of the system, the future development speed will definitely be much faster than the tailwind. If Taobao Express develops rapidly, it will not be long before you can build your own fleet and embark on the road of advanced players.

Still, tailwinds are always a threat.

Thinking of this, Li Mu said to Brother Liu: "Brother, Guangdong Province, especially the area of ​​Guangfo, Guanshen, and the express delivery industry will definitely be the most important part of competition in the future, and we must firmly grasp this market in our hands. , do not give any competitor a chance, even if it loses money, we must use our price advantage, speed advantage, security advantage, and our most powerful information advantage to completely drive other competitors in this area directly. Third or even fifth tier."

Brother Liu asked subconsciously, "What about the second echelon?"

"There is no second tier." Li Mu said decisively: "What we want is to be one level ahead of all our opponents, so that others can't catch up with us!"

...

After Li Mu visited in advance, Senior Brother Liu's assistant came to inform that it was almost time for the media to enter the venue. The media had to come in ahead of time to occupy seats and debug the equipment, and the scene would definitely be chaotic.

Brother Liu called Li Mu to the temporary office area outside to take a rest, and then officially entered the venue when the media was almost ready and the time was almost up.

Brother Liu's office space in Shenzhen these days is in an office temporarily spliced ​​with prefabricated houses behind several factories.

The prefab house was cold in winter and hot in summer, and humid, and the conditions were relatively difficult. However, Senior Brother Liu enjoyed his stay here. There was a photo of him and his girlfriend on the desk in the office.

Seeing the photo, Li Mu asked him jokingly, "Senior brother, when will you marry Sister Jing?"

Senior Brother Liu smiled slightly: "She said it, and I also want to get married, but now I still want to focus on my career first. Getting married takes too much time and energy."

Li Mu smiled and said, "You can get the certificate first."

Brother Liu nodded: "We have also talked about this topic. If nothing else, we will get the certificate in May next year."

"May?" Li Mu asked him, "Want to be stuck at 520 or 521?"

"Yes." Senior Brother Liu said with a smile, "That's what she means, she wants a better life."

Li Mu said with a smile: "It's good, it's a commemoration!"

Saying this, Li Mu was thinking in his heart: Brother Liu, Brother Liu, for your wisdom, you should get married quickly, don't wait for that little girl to grow up, an Internet giant with a net worth of tens of billions. Ka, it’s a bit of a downgrade to find an internet celebrity to be your wife. I urge you to get married for your own good. After all, your current girlfriend is a good match for you, and she can really help each other in your life. , The role of mutual support is the best for you.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, if the two of you have a chance to meet in the future, and you are really moved, you will adopt it and keep it outside. Everyone has a love for beauty. If you do this, I, a junior and a junior, not only understand , and agree.

At this moment, hundreds of journalists from various media have flocked to the sorting plant.

The huge and spectacular automatic sorting equipment shocked most reporters. In these years, the automation of domestic enterprises has not really started. When reporters see such a domineering automatic sorting system, it is like seeing foreign robots full of robots. The automated production workshop for the arm is about the same.

The entire sorting system has a very eye-catching logo in many places, which reads BEUMER-Mahinery, which is the words of Berman Machinery. This whole set of equipment, from the hardware logo to the software system, does not even have Chinese at all, which makes Li Mu. It's also a bit unpleasant, but there is no way. For Berman, they don't regard Huaxia as a potential market for this product. If Huaxia is regarded as a potential market, it makes sense to translate a Chinese operating system. .

However, at some point, for reporters, the more equipment that does not have half a Chinese character in the whole body, the more compelling it is. This is not surprising, because domestic industrial equipment is still relatively backward for the time being, unlike ten A few years later, it was so strong, so now at the industrial level, everyone has a potential perception that foreign equipment, especially Western countries' equipment, is the best and most professional.
