Chapter 2633 Xiaoyao Mall's First Step in Overseas Development
As early as May, Xiao Qi sent people to investigate the cargo transportation route from Huaguo to India, in order to transport a large amount of Huaguo goods to the warehouse of Xiaoyao Mall in India.
In all aspects, the most convenient route is naturally from Caiyun through Myanmar, and directly transport it to the cities on the long eastern coastline of India through the Bay of Bengal, so that the cost along the way is the lowest.
But there is a problem here, that is, the situation in Myanmar is not stable, and the small leaders of the separatist regime are everywhere. If anyone plays a trick on this long transportation route, it will be very troublesome.
In fact, if the border between Kunlun Mountain Pass and Pakistan is not too steep, and the good weather is only a few months throughout the year, even if Xiao Qi spends a little more money, he is willing to let the train depart from Xinjiang and enter Pakistan by car. And then transported to India through transport in Pakistan.
This will increase employment opportunities in Pakistan and also prosper some of their industries, which is a benefit to Pakistan.
However, the harsh climate is not suitable for large-scale train and car transportation, and there is no way to bring extra income to the Pakistani brothers.
For this reason, Xiao Qi could only ask Niu Ruzheng for help. After discussing with several big bosses in Myanmar, he finally got through the issue of the channel. During the period, he only needed to pay a fee when the goods were in transit.
Looking at such a large-scale transportation, the Myanmar side also knows what a long flow is, and it is not too much to ask.
I calculated the cost superposition in Xiaoyao Mall, and giving them these benefits will probably increase the cost by about 5%. However, compared with the road starting from Laos, Thailand, or even from the west of Guangdong, the cost savings can be as high as 20%-50%.
In addition, Niu Ruzheng also told Xiao Qi that Huaguo is increasing its influence on Myanmar. If there is a close relationship with Myanmar through this transportation artery, then the next step is to pass through the Arabian Sea to the Bay of Bengal. After going ashore in Myanmar, it is even more beneficial to switch to Huaguo's oil and gas lines.
Even the transportation route of Xiaoyao Mall can directly overlap with oil and gas pipelines, which can save costs. It is also easy to maintain, and it can also have a cluster effect, increasing its influence on Myanmar, thereby bringing it into the scope of influence of Huaguo.
Of course these things have nothing to do with Xiao Qi, what he did was just to help along the way.
Of course Niu Ruzheng didn't ask Xiao Qi to do more. What the state does and what the private sector does must be separated.
The route from Caiyun, Myanmar to India basically piles up goods from all over the country at Ruili Port in Caiyun, then transfers in Mandalay, the largest city in central Myanmar, and arrives at Zigai Port in western Myanmar, where the fleet goes out to sea. Arrive at Kolkata port in eastern India.
Finally, it is transported from the port of Kolkata to the other six warehouses of Xiaoyao Mall in India.
The entire journey is about 1,500 kilometers, and the mode of transportation is the combination of car transportation, train transportation and shipping.
If it only refers to the departure from Rayleigh to Kolkata, the time span will reach an astonishing 20 days, not to mention the preparation and delivery time to other warehouse groups, which is usually calculated in one month. of.
under these circumstances. As long as Xiaoyao Mall has the best planning, as well as the dispatch and storage of various goods, and there cannot be a situation where a best-selling product cannot reach the warehouse for several months, that is a huge mistake of Xiaoyao Mall.
What made Jingxi famous in her previous life was that besides the delivery speed beyond imagination, she also had very precise control over the storage of goods.
Basically, their commodity turnover rate is about 15 days, which reduces the pressure on inventory and capital, greatly speeds up the turnover of goods, and can sell one or two more times than others in the same period of time. Profits will naturally increase.
The success of West Beijing is actually based on the complete network of roads and railways in Huaguo. It is precisely because of the road construction that the government spares no expense, that is why all kinds of transportation in West Beijing can go smoothly and smoothly.
But India can't, except that the railway network is not bad. The rest of the highway was a complete mess. Many places are like the market streets in Huaguo Town, making people who are in a hurry want to cry.
Therefore, this is the time to test Xiaoyao Mall even more.
While Xiao Qi was designing the route, Qin Yibin also started his own planning.
He needs to calculate the time most accurately and take all possible factors into account, and then he can use this time. To arrange various goods procurement, transportation, inventory accumulation and other matters in Xiaoyao Mall.
For this reason, Qin Yibin had a full two months to convene the senior executives of the Indian branch and the Huaguo head office every day, and held meetings and discussions over and over again. Zhu suggested to Qin Yibin that it can be loosened a little bit, if it is too tight, everyone will collapse.
However, Qin Yibin's efforts were not without effect.
The planning book he handed over after reading it, even Xiao Qi couldn't help but be overwhelmed. Such a careful and perfect planning book can only be obtained after such tedious and intensive thinking and discussions!
In order to support Qin Yibin's entire opening plan, Xiao Qi invested 3 billion US dollars in one breath, which was used for the purchase of land and construction of logistics warehouses, as well as the development and preparation of transportation routes, plus recruitment of employees, opening up domestic relations in India and transportation in Myanmar Channels and so on, basically the money is spent.
The law and order in India is not very good. In order to take care of this, Xiao Qi specially told Qin Yibin that the relationship with the local police station must be well established, so that if there is any dispute, the police station will be more inclined to Xiaoyao Mall. As time goes by, those petty gangsters will naturally not provoke the people in Xiaoyao Mall.
The policemen in India also know the international prestige of Fairy Company and Xiao Qi's strength, so there will be no such thing as taking money and doing nothing.
Of course, they are also eager to have such an extra income for a long time. No matter whether they are big or small policemen, they are very concerned about the increase in their wallets.
After solving these problems, the most important thing is advertising and stocking up. Another $3 billion has been prepared here, of which $1.5 billion is used for stockpiling and $1.5 billion is used for turnover.
Although compared to the seven major cities, 1.5 billion US dollars of goods seems to be a lot for the time being, but Xiao Qi has never been a short-sighted person. Since he has money, he will do it beautifully at the beginning, and will develop later. more smoothly.
The same is true for large working capital, which involves a one-month or so stocking period, so it must be considered thoroughly.
Even if you say that the third brothers and sisters do not have such high requirements for "fast service", you can't ask yourself so low.
For the sales of Xiaoyao Mall in India, the source of goods is generally two countries-Huaguo and India.
Huaguo selected some daily-use food, clothing, housing and transportation commodities that Indians like very much, involving more than 200 varieties and more than 18,000 items, accounting for 40% of the total purchases.
There are more products from India, more than 300 varieties, more than 16,000 products, but more of them are for daily use, such as rice, flour, cooking oil, bicycles, various daily necessities, etc. And most of them are ordered by Xiaoyao Mall, and they are asked to produce according to the requirements.
After all, the three buddies are too rough, and the quality of the things they make is generally not very good, and there is not much finishing, and there are many problems.
In fact, at the beginning, Qin Yibin did not want to purchase more products in India. Compared with the cost-effectiveness, even if the freight and profit are added, the small commodities in Huaguo are cheaper and better in quality than those in India.
But if Xiaoyao Mall just enters India, all of them will adopt the model of importing from China. The Indian government will definitely not agree, and the entire Xiaoyao Mall will be obstructed. I know it too!
Only by purchasing a large amount of local products in India and then mixing them with imported products for sale will the Indian government acquiesce. After all, you are also increasing their enthusiasm for production, increasing employment and gross industrial production.
Looking at the warehouses full of goods, Qin Yibin and a group of employees of the company were full of confidence and anticipation.
It couldn't be more convenient and quick to set up Xiaoyao Mall in Huaguo.
If you have money and someone, you still have a relationship, and you don't have to worry about any problems wherever you go.
Therefore, in such a short period of two years in Huaguo, Xiaoyao Mall has developed to such a large scale as it is today. Qin Yibin has nothing to be proud of, because he knows that Xiao Qi's contribution should account for more than half of it. Just a capable executor.
But in India it is different.
Qin Yibin took care of everything from getting in touch with building relationships, to building warehouses, recruiting personnel, and so on.
Only Qin Yibin knows how much hardship has been put in here.
Although the business of Xiaoyao Mall has only been established in the seven major cities now, Qin Yibin knows that if it continues to develop like this, there will be Xiaoyao Mall in all the first- and second-tier cities in India!
At that time, I will have the capital to walk outside with my head held high, because at that time I will be the real hero of Xiannv Company's pioneering!
Do not!
After occupying the Indian market, there are more markets waiting for you!
Whether it is Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines... these countries are all emerging markets that have not been explored!
Amazon can't take care of Southeast Asia for the time being, so just give Xiaoyao Mall a chance!
Only by slapping the entire B2C online shopping mall in Asia, that is really the pinnacle of your career! (~^~)
