Chapter 582: Trample the Core of the Opponent
Liu Yongdong finally understands why Li Mu has always respected the belly and warehouse resources so much. If logistics are operated according to Li Mu's model, next-day express delivery can be achieved in most parts of the country. Compared with the current express delivery, the speed of Li Mu's plan is simply terrifying. The disruption of the industry is also unprecedented.
In fact, what is the hardware difference between the logistics in 2002 and the logistics in 2016? Are 2016 planes faster than 2002? Or is the 2016 car faster than the 2002? No, the real advantage in 2016 lies in the market trend and the maturity of supporting support. Moreover, even in 2016, most logistics companies cannot achieve next-day delivery, and only SF Express can basically guarantee point-to-point transportation between big cities. The next day delivery, other companies still can't keep up with the rhythm in terms of timeliness.
Li Mu also does not want to do all air transportation, but mainly air transportation, supplemented by land transportation. He will use such a high-end and efficient blueprint to plan the future high-end competitiveness. After planning these, he also immediately planned the supporting two Class solutions, land and rail transport.
Li Mu said to Liu Qidong: "Air express delivery is fast, but the cost is also high. In the future, market demand may not necessarily pursue timeliness. Many users will still pursue cost-effectiveness. , when the three-day land shipment only needs 15 yuan or even lower freight, I believe that a large number of users choose the latter, but for us, whether it is the former or the latter, the point-to-surface transportation process remains the same. Yes, but the carrying method of the latter point-to-point transportation has changed. We will purchase a certain number of container trucks to replace the airline’s belly cargo warehouse to complete point-to-point transportation. Although the timeliness of land transportation is poor, but The cost reduction is not just a little bit.”
Liu Yingdong saw it very clearly, nodded, and said excitedly: "As long as our model is determined, these details will be very flexible, but Mr. Li, you have planned so much, and the funds of 80 to 100 million are afraid. It's not enough."
Li Mu said: "It's definitely not enough, it's far from enough, but it doesn't matter, Alipay has a huge amount of accumulated funds now, and it has a close relationship with the major banks. As long as the central bank has not intervened, we can always maintain love with the major banks and take Alipay. If you brush your face, they will also give a highly leveraged loan, and every penny and every item we invest in hardware in the future must be mortgaged to the bank, and then we will borrow more money from the bank.”
Li Mu doesn't have much money on the books of several companies now. Some time ago, he transferred most of the funds into Wanying Yanjing Branch, and used the land for Song Liang. After the land acquisition is successful, the money will be pushed up. For a period of time, Li Mu expected that after the line map of Line 10 was announced, the land price would rise, and then re-mortgage it to the bank to obtain more funds, so the money would not be able to move for a while.
In this case, it is already a limit for several companies to raise 80 million to 100 million immediately without affecting their own operations, and the rest have to ask banks for help, but several other companies The cash flow of the company is very healthy, and it can continuously conduct blood transfusions to the logistics company.
In fact, Li Mu also has a trump card for mobilizing funds.
That is the Alipay guarantee. With the current scale of Alipay, it is also very easy to use it as a guarantee to obtain loans from banks.
Soon, Fang Xudong was also called over. In front of Liu Yingdong, Li Mu explained the current situation and his plans for self-built logistics. Fang Xudong didn't seem to fluctuate much after listening to it, but in fact, he was already inside. Like a stormy sea.
Fang Xudong is a geek. He has never been involved in operations at Google before. Today, after listening to Li Muyi, he understands how dangerous the real shopping mall is. In the shopping mall, it is by no means that you can win the final victory by being yourself, but who will start. More ruthless, who will have the last laugh.
Although he was amazed, Fang Xudong still showed extremely high professionalism. He immediately took out a pen and a small notepad and asked Li Mu, "What are the specific requirements of the logistics management system, or what functions should be implemented?"
Li Mu thought for a while and said: "Our logistics management system not only needs to store and update all the information of express shipments in real time, but also track and record each of our vehicles, containers or packages, and accurately record the records. The warehousing situation of each of our logistics bases is even accurate to the information of each employee, as well as the jurisdiction the employee is responsible for, as well as his work status, every package he receives, and every package delivered. In a word, this The system needs to monitor every department and link of the logistics.”
Fang Xudong nodded and asked Li Mu, "How do we determine the id of our shipment? If we want to track the dynamics of each shipment, it must have a unique id."
Li Mu said: "The waybill must be specially customized. We can cooperate with special printing factories for this, which is not a problem. Then each waybill will have a unique waybill number and match the barcode of the corresponding waybill number. Then you need to let Combining the code scanning gun equipment and software, when the front-end courier takes back an item, the person who receives the parcel must scan the code of the express waybill, as long as he chooses the 'warehousing code scanning' system at this time To automatically enter this waybill number into the system, from this moment on, the status of the package is officially defined as being collected, and the name of the collection office is automatically indicated. Jinling, then the receiving processing personnel in Zhongguancun only need to scan the order number, the system needs to automatically enter it, and the status is defined as: a certain year, a certain day, a certain time and a certain minute, the Yanjing Zhongguancun business hall - has been taken receive."
Fang Xudong nodded, and the pen in his hand quickly recorded Li Mu's needs on paper.
Li Mu went on to say: "Then, continuing with the example I just gave, the Zhongguancun business office takes 6:00 p.m. every day as the deadline for receiving parcels on a working day. Packing, all express items are packaged into one package or several packages, and the system will automatically generate a name for the packaged package. For example, the time of the day is January 1, 2003, then the package id to be packaged is defined as: Zhongguancun Business Office Code +20030101 + Serial number."
"If the code of the Zhongguancun business office is 0010022, the first four digits of 0010 are the area code, representing the city, and the last three numbers represent the order of the business office in the city, so that a unique id can be generated for each business hall, and The express of the day was divided into two packages, so the names of the two packages are 0010022-20030101-01 and 0010022-20030101-02. Although they seem to be numbers, it is easy to understand the information if you know the rules. right?"
Fang Xudong tapped the pen: "I understand very well."
"Ok!" Li Mu continued: "During the packing process, each small parcel must be scanned before being packed into the package. This is a convenient time, and it won't take much time, but it can record the status of the parcel being packed. , so, at this time, our packer only needs to select 'packing and scanning code', then for every shipment he scans, the system status will automatically change to: Zhongguancun business point - packing."
"After the packaging is completed, the staff will print out the barcode generated by the package code and paste it on the package. These two large packages will be sent to the Yanjing logistics base. Before loading, the staff will scan the code to confirm the package. , change the status to loaded and sent to Yanjing logistics base. At this time, you should pay attention that once a large package is scanned and confirmed to be loaded, the status of all small shipments contained in the large package must be changed to: Zhongguancun in batches. Business point - has been loaded and sent to Yanjing logistics base."
Fang Xudong continued to nod: "Understood."
Li Mu went on to say: "After the express arrives at the Yanjing logistics base, someone will be responsible for scanning the code of the large package while unloading the truck. Each time one is scanned, the system will change the status of all the small packages in the package to: The express has arrived at the Yanjing logistics base."
"clear."
Li Mu said: "The next step is unpacking and sorting. The super-large express delivery companies in Western countries have now entered the era of automatic sorting, but the equipment cost is too high. Now neither we nor the postal big brother can afford it. So we can only do manual sorting, manual sorting, we need to simply build several belt conveyors, and then distinguish according to the logistics base to which the express delivery address belongs. The same principle, each package is sorted and sent to a certain When the strip conveyor is on the conveyor, the staff also needs to scan it, and the system also automatically updates the status at this time: the Yanjing logistics base has been sorted and is ready to be sent to the Shanghai logistics base."
"clear."
"Further, all the express items sent to the Shanghai stock market on the same day have been sorted, and they will be sorted into two batches according to the mode of transportation, one of which will be transported by air to the Shanghai stock market, and the other batch will be transported by land to Shanghai. City, if our shipment is an air shipment, it will be repackaged after being sorted. The process is the same as the packaging before loading in the business hall. We must promptly show that it has been packaged in the Yanjing logistics base and is ready to be sent to Shanghai. City logistics base.”
"Further, the express will take the earliest flight to Shanghai in the early morning of the second day after packing. After arriving at the Shanghai logistics base, it will still need to be scanned before unpacking. At this time, it will be updated again, and it will display: The express has been Arrived at the Shanghai logistics base, ready to unpack."
"After unpacking, it will be sorted according to the different cities the express is going to, and after sorting, it will be packed, and the status will be changed to: The Shanghai logistics base has been packed and sent to Jinling."
"The shipment arrived in Jinling and was unpacked and sorted at the Jinling headquarters. At this time, it was very close to the recipient. When the shipment was sent to the recipient's business location, the status should be updated to: Sent to the business location."
"After arriving at the business location, perform another scan, and the system will automatically change the status: Arrived at the business location."
"Before the dispatcher at the business point departs, it is necessary to perform a pre-delivery scan of all the parcels to be delivered, and select 'Delivery Scan'. After this scan, not only the status of all parcels should be displayed as: The courier has departed, please do When preparing to receive the package, it is also necessary to display his personal information according to the id of the dispatcher, for example: dispatcher Liu Yingdong, contact number 139."
"The dispatcher Liu Yingdong went out and delivered a total of 30 express parcels. When he returned to the company, he had 30 express delivery receipts in his hand. The last thing he had to do was to finalize these 30 express delivery receipts. For one scan, as long as he selects 'Due Delivery Scan' and quickly scans the 30 initial receipts, the system will update the status of these 30 shipments for the last time: the shipment has been signed, thank you for using XX Express."
"This is the information system I want, a complete background management system, and a real-time inquiry system at the front desk. Whether it is ourselves, or the senders and recipients in our users, we can control each of our express delivery in real time. The route, at a certain moment, at a certain place, and performing a certain operation will bring our customers an unprecedented use experience! This system will be the core support for us to crush our opponents!”
Adhering to air transportation, informatization, automation, and ensuring high efficiency will be the basis for SF Express's success in the Huaxia express market in the future. Now, Li Mu's dependence on the next step of express delivery business is the same, but it will be realized a few years earlier than SF Express. It's not that he imitated SF Express, because this is not the original of SF Express at all, but the way of the rise of the international express oligarch ups. SF Express can achieve great success, thanks to the teacher of ups, and thanks to ups, dhl, and FedEx in those days For various reasons, he did not enter the Huaxia market. Otherwise, no matter how powerful Wang Wei is, SF Express would not be able to achieve such high achievements as later generations.
Li Mu said that the passion was surging, Liu Yingdong and Fang Xudong looked at each other, both of them were shocked by the whole process of Li Mu's framework.
The logic of Li Mu's management system is unprecedented in the domestic express delivery industry. One of them is a master of operation and the other is a master of technology. They both have a very thorough understanding of logic and products. Try to deduce it and you will know Li Mu's logic is perfect to the point of impeccable. He will make the trend of each express be monitored in real time. Needless to say, the management convenience and efficiency it brings will also improve the user experience. In the past, sending express delivery was equivalent to releasing a carrier pigeon. If the recipient did not reply, the sender himself would not know where the carrier pigeon went or whether it flew or not. The whole process was completely uncontrollable, but , if this system is put into use, users can firmly grasp the dynamics of each step of the express, which is simply too convenient!
In 2002, the express delivery industry was still in its infancy, and information processing was an unimaginable cross-border product. It was almost impossible for them to invest in developing such a system, and software development companies on the market would never develop such a product, because The audience is too small, and it will pay to die. At present, only those popular industries will be targeted by software companies, such as: hospitals, Internet cafes, and supermarkets.
In order to highlight the force of Zakushou's two systems, he always likes to bring the word "informatization" with him when he blows it out. However, these two systems are only internal management systems that are still being tested, and their functions are better than Li Mu's. The required front-end, back-end, internal and external management systems are far from one hundred and eighty thousand miles away. If nothing else, they do not support users to query the status of shipments in real time.
Therefore, Liu Yingdong and Fang Xudong are very clear that if this management system combined with hardware is developed, no matter what kind of express company Li Mu wants to do, he can kill the whole industry in seconds!
