Chapter 1153 Let Go!

Li Mu's 2.1 billion material hoarding plan left Senior Brother Liu dumbfounded. ??Look at the book W?W?W??KA?N?SHU.COM

He was not only surprised that Li Mu would use 2.1 billion from the reserve fund pool as soon as he opened his mouth, but also had several layers of worry.

The first worry is that he is afraid that the current storage capacity is not enough;

If the 2.1 billion yuan buys electronic products or valuables, it may not use much storage capacity, but the anti-epidemic materials that Li Mu needs to do are, to put it bluntly, disinfectant, masks, alcohol, gloves, and even some medicines.

If it really enters the epidemic situation of infectious diseases, the most demanded disinfectant on the market must be disinfectant, and the ordinary 84 disinfectant is now sold at a retail price of two or three yuan a bottle, and a bottle of about 450 to 500 ml;

If it is a large-scale purchase, it is estimated that the price per liter is about three yuan, and three thousand yuan can buy a cube, and this does not count the impact of the packaging on the actual volume. One cube of disinfectant, if you add packaging, how can you buy it? Take up 1.3 or even 1.5 cubic meters of space.

3,000 yuan is 1.5 cubic meters, and 30 million is 15,000 cubic meters. If it is calculated according to the height of a single product of 20 cm, stacking ten layers is already the load-bearing limit of the bottom layer. In this case, 30 million is stacked. For the goods, the storage area needs to be about 7,500 square meters;

If it is 300 million, it is 75,000 square meters;

600 million, 150,000 square meters;

What's more, warehousing is not yet automated, there is no stacking tool, the labor cost of ten-layer stacking is very high, and the operation is very difficult;

Such a large purchase volume is very scary to think about, not to mention that Taobao's self-operated business itself occupies most of the storage capacity, so the storage capacity of the entire Taobao Logistics is not large, and it is estimated that 2 billion will be left by then. Before half of it was spent, Taobao's warehousing exploded;

The second worry is that he is afraid that Li Mu will lose his waist. If Li Mu's judgment on the entire epidemic is too pessimistic, and he hoards more than 2 billion supplies with a pessimistic attitude, in case things are not as serious as he expected in the end, two How to deal with billions of materials?

Although these materials are all consumable products, because they are not fast-moving consumer goods, the market has already weakened. Under normal circumstances, the production and sales of the market are saturated or even oversupplied. If you want to use these two billion materials at that time It may be difficult to sell it. At that time, it is likely to be completely rotten in its own warehouse, and Taobao will have to bear these costs.

Brother Liu expressed his two levels of concerns, Li Mu said to him: "2.1 billion is only an initial plan, and it is likely to be added later, but the problem of warehousing is easy to deal with, we immediately set up a team, at the location of our seven major logistics bases. Look for available storage resources, as long as you have them, you must take them at any cost.

Taobao Logistics originally set up six logistics distribution and warehousing bases, namely Yanjing, Shanghai, Yangcheng, Chuandu, Hanjiang and Liaoshen. Later, because of the extremely popular electronic product transactions in Shenzhen, a new one was built in Shenzhen. The seven cities are all important logistics hubs. Although Taobao Logistics has insufficient warehousing, there are many warehousing resources in the society, which can be solved by leasing.

Later, Li Mu added: "As for the issue of capital risk, Senior Brother Liu, don't put it at the top of the list for the time being, this time we should put the sense of social responsibility at the top of the list. There are risks, but for Taobao, it's not bad. no big risk,

The worst result is that more than 200 million worth of materials are thrown into our hands, but the shelf life of these materials will not be short, we have time to digest them slowly, and we can still make up part of the loss, and the rest Don't worry too much about that part, even if we really lose, it won't touch our foundation. "

Senior Brother Liu nodded lightly and said, "I have absolutely no opinion on what you said, I just want to say whether we can find a way to avoid risks as much as possible. I agree with you on this matter!"

Li Mu said with a satisfied smile: "That's great! Then I'll start talking about some of my specific thoughts. Listen to it, Ziwei memorize it, and feel free to interrupt me if you have any questions."

The two nodded at the same time and said yes.

Li Mu immediately said: "First of all, we will send a business team to communicate with all the regular disinfectant manufacturers in the country, and let them increase their production capacity in the future, so that all the production capacity can be exploded. We produce a sufficient amount of disinfectant, but we must be careful about the operation method. In order to be an offshore company, we bought a lot of shells in China. At that time, we will complete the procurement through these bottom shell companies, so as not to cause too much damage. focus on;"

Brother Liu immediately said: "ok, I will arrange this matter."

Li Mu added: "The specifications of the disinfectant should be considered. In principle, most of them are small specifications, that is, about 200 ml. One is that more single products can be split in this way, and the other is that most families There is no need for such high-intensity disinfection at all, 200 ml is theoretically enough for a long time, and the less it is, the more people can understand how to use it rationally."

"In addition to most small-size packages, we also need a small number of large-size packages, such as two-liter and five-liter packages. Such large packages can be used to solve the disinfection needs of schools, kindergartens, and enterprises."

Senior Brother Liu said with a look of approval: "This consideration is very detailed, I think for most people, if 200 ml of disinfectant is used for 20 days, then 500 ml is estimated to be 20 days, and the more it is, the less likely it will be Control your dosage carefully!"

Li Mu went on to say: "Secondly, it is best to purchase n95 masks with breathing valves worldwide, preferably 3 meters. First, let's understand the cost of purchasing such masks in large quantities. If it is less than five yuan, prepare at least 200 million. ."

Brother Liu was almost dumbfounded: "What does n95 mean? Besides, 200 million masks? Brother, the urban population in the country is about the same!"

Li Mu said seriously: "Masks have a lifespan. After a certain level of protection, the protective ability will decline. It is estimated that a mask will only last for ten days and eight days. If it is used very frequently, the lifespan will be shorter, so be sure to make good reserves. , Masks, our people just don’t pay enough attention to this thing, taking this opportunity, we can use it to publicize it with everyone.”

Even Senior Brother Liu doesn't know what the n95 mask is, but if it comes to 2016, I am afraid that junior high school students will know what the n95 mask means, because at that time, smog and pm2.5 have become inseparable in people's lives. At that time, everyone knew the difference between professional-grade protective masks and ordinary disposable masks. Almost most people will choose n95 masks to fight smog.

At the moment, most people are probably still stuck in any disposable medical mask, which can isolate dust, bacteria, and viruses. Even some medical staff do not realize that they need to use n95-level or higher-level masks. Protective masks, they are even using the solution of double-layer disposable masks, even thicker cotton masks that have basically no protection.

In addition, so many migrant workers suffer from pneumoconiosis every year because they do not wear masks. There are many people who lose their labor force in their thirties and die because of them in their forties. In fact, they only need to wear an n95 grade when they work. They can avoid the danger of pneumoconiosis to a great extent, but no one popularizes them. They can only earn low salaries every day while keeping the deadly threat of industrial dust safe.

What Li Mu is thinking now is that once the drug is released to the world, he must make a network-wide popular science on the use and importance of protective masks, and he can even invest a sum of money to do offline popular science. People pay attention to respiratory protection in daily life and during epidemics and special operations, so even if 200 million masks cannot be sold, Li Mu is willing to give them all to workers in the mining, stone, wood and hazardous chemical processing industries. Taobao now has such a With a big plate, this social responsibility is still completely bearable.

Senior Brother Liu knew Li Mu's way of doing things. Although he didn't understand it very well, he didn't say anything against it, but immediately said, "I'll handle this."

Li Mu hurriedly said: "Let me handle this matter. Professional protective equipment manufacturers such as 3m and Honeywell are all American, and the sales in Huaxia are not high at present, so I will not grab inventory in the Huaxia market. That way As a result, it will squeeze domestic supply, so let’s scour it from overseas, preferably directly from the United States.”

Speaking, Li Mu added: "We are familiar with the United States, there are many acquaintances, the key is that I am a person with some industry and influence in the United States, by the way, do you still remember the Elon who came to China to touch porcelain with me? Musk?"

Senior Brother Liu nodded: "Remember, that guy who is quite wretched, looks very chicken thief."

Li Mu said with a smile: "On the surface, he looks like an Internet guy, and he is a science fantasy in the flesh, but he is actually a bragging broker. This person is very social and has a wider range of fields. If you find him, you should be able to get on the line. , what's more, I not only need their masks, but also more top-level protective equipment from them, it would be great if the resources that can be used can be replaced!"

3m and Honeywell are basically the two most famous mask brands in the anti-haze stage of later generations. At that time, the mask industry ushered in a trend, and everyone advertised themselves as masks that could really prevent PM2.5, but After real monitoring, most of the products on the market are false propaganda. Many products are not as reliable as brands like 3m, so they focus on appearance and gimmicks. The masks are more beautiful and the functions are more fancy. But in the final analysis, 3m is the world-class brand with the best protection and the most reliable quality.

Finally, Li Mu arranged: "There are still some medicines that may temporarily increase the price. Let's go directly to pharmaceutical companies and ask them to produce a batch of daily medicines such as isatis root and disinfectant alcohol in case of emergency."

Senior Brother Liu nodded and reminded: "But we don't have the qualifications to sell medicines. I have to remind you of this."

Li Mu waved his hand: "Hey, it doesn't matter, we are not allowed to sell, but I didn't say that we are not allowed to buy, this kind of thing has to be done with hands and feet, in an unconventional way, first buy it in and hoard it. Don't let us sell it, the big deal is to give it to the CDCs around the world, it is better than being hoarded by those profiteers, sitting on the ground and raising prices, making the country difficult to make money!")!!
