Chapter 1667: Double 11
In the small meeting room.
Others are busy, and Li Dong is not idle either.
At this time, Li Dong was holding a video conference.
On the screen, the faces of Yuan Chengdao, Sun Tao, Chen Lang, and Tan Haiying appeared one after another.
At this moment, Yuan Chengdao is reporting: "For this promotion, surpassing Ali is almost inevitable.
Today, several major express companies are in trouble, and they are stuck at this node, and the timing is just right.
Although Ali was unwilling at this time, I heard that several meetings were held in the afternoon for the promotion in the evening, which temporarily appease these courier companies.
However, as far as I know, Ali now subsidizes the logistics and delivery price of each order, which has risen to 3 yuan.
At this time, Ali did not dare to distribute these expenses to the major merchants, and they could only bear them themselves.
All of a sudden, there are tens of millions more expenditures, and Yahoo and Softbank may have reached the limit of their patience.
In the past, I thought that outsourcing logistics could save a lot of money, but at this time, I have to say that it is better to own things. "
If Ali's self-operated logistics is developed and can meet the needs, there is no need to compromise.
But the day before Double Eleven, the major express companies launched an attack.
Unless Ma Yun gritted his teeth and stopped playing Double Eleven, otherwise, even if his teeth were itching with hatred, he could only appease and compromise at this time.
Moreover, this cost could be borne by merchants and passed on to consumers in the past, but not now.
Now that their opponent is already stronger than him, it will be even worse if they pass on the cost.
Compromise means that expenses will increase again and shareholders will be more dissatisfied.
A series of problems made Ali's current atmosphere very uncomfortable.
Li Dong smiled and said: "The timing of these companies is not bad, but at this time, when things get worse, we still have to be careful of the old horse's revenge.
When Ali's side stabilizes, Lao Ma will inevitably take revenge on them. "
"That's for later, too.
What's more, several companies may not be really worried. After all, judging from the current trend, it is really difficult to judge the future of Treasure. "
Li Dong said with a sneer: "Whether Dibao has a future or is taken over by us, I dare not use these companies.
Stabbing a knife at a critical moment, such a partner should be left to others. "
The others looked at him one after another, with strange expressions in their eyes.
They really didn't believe that Li Dong didn't have hands and feet this time.
Now Li Dong promoted this matter, and then said that he would not accept them in the future, why did he feel like killing a donkey?
I want to return to thinking, but no one mentions it.
In fact, whether Li Dong promoted this matter, they don't know.
Many times, some of the things Li Dong arranges are arranged through his own work team, and even Yuan Chengdao is not very clear about it.
Li Dong didn't care what they thought, and continued: "At present, all our arrangements have been completed.
But there is one thing that no one has mentioned.
I don't know if you forgot, or if you don't feel the need to mention it. "
Everyone showed doubts, what else is not ready?
Li Dong continued: "At present, our warehouses, e-commerce warehouses, and offline warehouses are all full.
Lots of stock!
But even so, it is only enough to support orders of less than 50 billion.
If we add our cooperation system, there is still hope that more than 60 billion can be completed.
Don't forget, in addition to the online system, we also have offline stores, and these stores themselves have a lot of performance.
On Double Eleven, many of our products have achieved online and offline integration, and the price system is consistent.
This also means that there may be a substantial rise offline.
In the end, once there is insufficient inventory, have you thought about how to solve it? "
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of several people were a little strange.
Are you really planning to go to 100 billion?
To be honest, even now, everyone has decided that hundreds of billions is impossible.
If there are too many stocks in the distance, it will be wasted.
The loss rate of supermarkets is not low, generally more than three thousandths, especially now that there is a large amount of stockpiling, the loss rate may be higher.
With so much hoarding, if it can't be sold, it will look good.
Some products can be kept and sold slowly, some can be returned to the manufacturer, but some products cannot be returned.
In addition to some products with a short shelf life, if you really have to stock up too much, you may end up with a lot of losses.
So this matter, no one has mentioned it much.
In other words, everyone knows, but does not think that the existing inventory cannot meet the shopping needs of this time.
Li Dong didn't care about them, and said to himself: "Our warehouse is full now, and there is no way to increase the inventory.
So, I talked to some vendors.
At that time, the goods will be transferred directly from their warehouse, and our personnel will be stationed in their warehouse center.
Therefore, this preparation work must be done well.
Of course, I hope to see this situation appear, if not, then our own system is enough.
Once this happens, let the major manufacturers support it as soon as possible.
It is better to be prepared than not to be prepared. I think that this time 100 billion is not an impossible goal. "
Now that Li Dong had talked, Yuan Chengdao could only nod his head and said, "Then let's talk about it later."
It is unlikely that this event will happen in the end, but Li Dong thinks it is possible, the manufacturer has agreed, and Yuanfang just arranged more personnel to prepare.
Several people discussed for a while, and Li Dong turned off the computer.
Next, Li Dong made a few more phone calls.
It wasn't until almost 10 o'clock in the evening that Li Dong finished the matter at hand.
...
At 11 o'clock in the evening, Li Dong and his party arrived at a distant express delivery point in Bincheng City.
There are many people in the team!
Because it was at night, in order to strengthen the protection work, the security side added a lot of manpower, plus other entourage and follow-up personnel, there were more than 20 people in total.
When Li Dong and the others arrived, the staff at the distribution point were also dumbfounded.
There was no notice of this matter before, and the people at the distribution point had no idea that Li Dong would come here.
They knew that Li Dong was participating in the delivery in Bincheng, but they never thought that Li Dong would choose to participate in the delivery here.
As soon as he saw Li Dong coming, the manager of the store came out quickly.
At this time, the young store manager was a little overwhelmed and didn't know what to say.
A vice president of Bincheng Logistics who was following the team quickly said: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Li will be here tonight to participate in the delivery work. Next, you must..."
Before he finished his instructions, Li Dong interrupted: "You are busy with your work, don't worry about me.
Later, some small items that are close to each other will be handed over to me, and I can’t move the big ones. In short, the express items handed over to me should be close, small in size, and light in weight...
As soon as the delivery vehicle arrives, we will start working immediately, reflecting our efficiency and strength.
Of course, it’s okay to give me some items that look large and light, so that this personal show will be more full..."
Li Dong's voice fell, and many people beside him laughed.
What the boss said is really straightforward!
Li Dong didn't care about these, he said with a smile: "I said it before, this is a show, there is nothing to deny.
It is also impossible for me to accompany everyone to deliver express delivery every day, mainly because of one meaning.
Let's not talk about these, prepare a set of work clothes for me, change clothes, and get ready to start work! "
Naturally, Li Dong's work clothes had been prepared long ago, and there was no need for the dumbfounded store manager to prepare them. The entourage next to him quickly brought a new set of work clothes.
When Li Dong entered the store and began to change clothes, some people at the scene came back to their senses.
At the delivery point, all the couriers are on standby now.
In the crowd, someone couldn't help but ask, "Is this the big boss?"
"It's the big boss. I didn't expect to come to our place."
"Then will we be on TV later? Look, a lot of people are taking pictures!"
"..."
On the periphery of the crowd, not only Yuanfang's own follow-up team arrived, but after a while, many media vehicles rushed over.
Everyone knows that Li Dong will participate in the distribution in Bincheng.
I didn't know where he was going before, but the media reporters didn't relax and kept watching near the hotel.
As Li Dong's motorcade stopped here, a large number of media reporters soon followed.
Li Dong himself is a hot topic, and this time the outside world is discussing how long he can last, and many people even started to bet.
At this time, the media will naturally not miss this opportunity.
When Li Dong changed into his work clothes and came out of the store, a large crowd had already gathered outside.
Regarding this, Li Dong had already expected it, and said as soon as he went out: "It's okay to follow the film, but don't interfere with my work.
Especially at the beginning, no interviews, no inquiries.
But everyone has a little discernment, and when I am tired, you can come forward and ask a few questions, so that I can rest for a while.
In this way, I'm not being lazy, understand? "
Many media reporters who were in contact with Li Dong for the first time were a little dumbfounded, but there were also many reporters in the crowd who were not from Bincheng, but came from other places.
Among them was the media from Pingchuan, who immediately laughed and said, "President Li, don't worry, I won't delay your business, as long as you are tired, I will stop you to interview you immediately!"
Li Dong smiled and said: "This is fine."
After chatting with the reporters for a while, Li Dong communicated with the distribution point employees on the side for a while.
The employees were both excited and nervous, and each of them was very restrained.
When Li Dong asked about working overtime in the middle of the night, was there any dissatisfaction?
A courier in his early thirties in the crowd quickly said: "Satisfied, really satisfied.
In the past few days, the basic salary has doubled, and the commission has also increased a lot.
Our deliveries are more comfortable than people from other companies. It is so cold outside, and the company has equipped us with electric tricycles with canopies and windshields.
In Bincheng, it's not like we don't know what's going on in other companies.
Which company is like us?
A few days ago, I was issued warm clothes and shoes, and I was reluctant to wear them.
Everyone hopes that there will be more orders this time, so that a Double Eleven can earn someone else's salary for several months.
It’s almost the Chinese New Year, and we can also have a good New Year..."
Li Dong laughed immediately after hearing the words: "Those who don't know thought you were entrusted, but to be honest, I really didn't arrange entrustment.
It's good to be satisfied, everyone pay attention to safety.
Making money is more important than safety.
Later, let's arrange a person to be my guide. I'm not familiar with the road conditions in this neighborhood. For three hours tonight, we'll send him a 100-ticket order, so that everyone can see the efficiency in the distance! "
...
As Li Dong chatted with everyone, time passed little by little.
At 11:50, Li Dong stopped chatting about family affairs.
Looking at the time, Li Dong said, "How long will it take for the sorting side to deliver the goods at the earliest?"
Immediately someone said: "It used to take more than half an hour at the fastest. Today we greeted in advance. If there are pieces nearby, we will sort and deliver them as soon as possible. This is also the closest point to the sorting center. It can be done in 10 minutes." arrive."
"10 minutes……"
Li Dong nodded and said: "Strive for 15 minutes to complete the delivery of the first order.
Not specifically referring to my side, other places are faster and better than mine, we set new records, leaving other platforms and logistics behind.
The current distribution system, the sorting center, actually relies more on labor.
After our smart logistics system is established, we will rely more on big data computing and intelligent sorting in the future.
At that time, our delivery efficiency will be higher. "
When he mentioned the words smart logistics, many nearby reporters actually wanted to ask a few questions, but thinking of Li Dong's previous words, these people had no choice but to hold back and wait for the arrival of zero one by one.
Li Dong didn't forget them, he looked at the others and said with a smile, "Don't just watch, the goal of 100 billion also needs everyone's support.
Everyone is here, so I'm too embarrassed to just watch, right?
There is something stuffed in the shopping cart, and now is not the same as before, with the excuse of not being able to surf the Internet.
Our mobile phones can now also be used for shopping. Although the speed is a bit slower, we can still do shopping.
Don’t care about the small traffic money, we will give priority to interviewing those who spend a lot of money later, exclusive interviews are fine, but if the shopping amount is low, then we won’t have this opportunity..."
As soon as these words came out, the reporters roared with laughter, but some people answered: "This is what you said, Mr. Li. I have already filled up my shopping cart, and I will place an order directly later. Mr. Li, don't worry about it." Forgot to give us the opportunity to interview."
Li Dong laughed and said, "Look at the amount, the order is high, so it's not a big problem."
Everyone laughed again, but they didn't take it seriously.
Until now, there are not many media who have interviewed Li Dong, not to mention there are so many people today, how can they have the opportunity to do an exclusive interview.
In the midst of everyone's jokes, the time pointed to zero.
At one o'clock, the scene was collectively silent.
After about a minute or so, the staff of Bincheng said a few words through the earphones, and then hurriedly said: "The first order nearby has been placed, and the sorting side will start delivery immediately!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Dongyue was eager to try: "I will deliver the first order here, and no one will grab it from me!"
Everyone laughed, you are here, who will rob you.
...
It is said that it will arrive in about 10 minutes, but in fact, the delivery vehicle from afar arrived at the delivery point in less than 8 minutes.
Knowing that the boss is waiting here, the driver of the delivery also worked hard and arrived at the delivery point as quickly as possible.
As soon as the delivery vehicle with the words "Yuanfang Logistics" arrived, Li Dong walked forward and said to the camera: "Actually, we can go faster and start delivery from the sorting side.
But what we want is not simply fast, but to let everyone see our complete logistics distribution system.
Out of the warehouse, sorting, delivery, this is a whole set of processes.
What we are following now is a complete process. Of course, with the development of technology and the smooth road in the future, some procedures may be reduced.
For example, the distribution points that are now densely populated may be reduced in size later.
In the central region, we are now building a large logistics system and carrying out industrial concentration. At that time, warehouse delivery, sorting, and distribution will be concentrated together.
In terms of efficiency, it will not be reduced, only faster.
However, at present, we still rely mainly on labor, and the system is not yet perfect, and the layout of multiple stores is the embodiment of efficiency..."
After a brief introduction, when the people at the distribution point unloaded the courier from the car, Li Dong was suddenly a little dumbfounded.
Not only was he dumbfounded, but the faces of several distant managers who followed him also turned green.
Several people glared fiercely at the driver who delivered the goods. The driver was in a daze, completely unaware of what happened.
Li Dong was helpless, and said to the camera again: "From this point of view, I actually did not cheat, which is a good thing.
But I remember, I said hello before, the first order we place an order ourselves, just buy a few clothes.
I send it easily, and let everyone see our fastest efficiency.
But now... It seems that something went wrong, some customers placed orders faster than our people.
Moreover, it is still a big order, enough to pay for it! "
The reason why Li Dong said this was because what was unloaded from the car was not a small item, but a large packaged box.
At the distribution point, both of them struggled to lift up.
After Li Dong finished speaking, he stepped forward to give his hand, weighed it and said: "At least seven or eighty catties, I wonder if the customer who placed the order is a spy sent by Ma Yun?
No matter, since I said that I will come for the first order, then let me do it myself. "
As he said that, Li Dong said to one of the couriers who carried the box: "I'll come, you can let someone lead the way later, and I will drive along."
After all, Li Dong and another employee carried the box to his car together.
Li Dong said as he walked: "It's not that I don't drive the electric three-wheeler, it's mainly at night, and it's not easy to follow along with this car, please be considerate.
In fact, electric three-wheeled delivery in urban areas is more convenient and efficient than driving a car.
Okay, let's stop talking, let's see if the first customer who placed an order is Ma Yun's spy?
The place is not far away, you can see it in a while..."
Although Li Dong kept talking, his movements were not slow. He quickly got into the car and started to follow the people in front to the place of order.
This time, he was driving by himself.
Although people like Tan Yong were not too reassured, Li Dong insisted that everyone had no choice but to drive around.
Other media reporters also drove up to follow, and for a while, the team was quite imposing.
After they left, the employees on the scene said with emotion: "The boss is more powerful than us in delivering goods!"
Many people rolled their eyes, this is nonsense.
The store manager didn't bother to reprimand at this time, and immediately said: "Mr. Li is here, and I have to come back later, everyone cheer up!
We can't let Boss Li go down in the competition, if that's the case, we'll all be worthless! "
Following the arrangement of the store manager, other people also started to get busy.
Li Dong's first order is special, delivered by a special car, and subsequent orders will be delivered one after another.
...
While Li Dong was delivering the goods, many people from all over the country were sitting in front of their computers, watching Li Dong deliver the goods, and at the same time visiting the distant shopping mall.
When Li Dong mentioned several times whether he was a spy sent by Ma Yun, many people were overjoyed.
Ma Yun, who is far away in Lin'an, is still in the company at this time.
On the screen in front of him, Li Dong was displayed.
Although he still had a lot of things to do and a lot of data to look at at this time, Ma Yun didn't care about it at this time.
Staring at the screen for a while, Ma Yun shook his head and said, "This guy really thinks of himself as a courier. I'm still waiting for him to say something useful."
Cai Chongxin on the side asked suspiciously, "Something useful?"
Ma Yun said indifferently: "Do you think he really seems to have nothing to do to start the live broadcast? Look, the delivery is incidental, and the morale boosting is also incidental. There should be other purposes.
I have a hunch that during the live broadcast, he will also fire cannons. "
Cai Chongxin frowned slightly, but didn't ask any more questions.
At this time, the two of them didn't ask about the situation of Treasure, and just kept watching the live broadcast.
Li Dong can ignore it, they are no busier than Li Dong.
