Chapter 864: Crimes Other than War

January 10th.

Snowflakes began to fall all over East China.

The feather-like snow seems to be pouring down from the sky.

On the 11th, the Jiangbei Meteorological Bureau produced the first issue of the "Major Meteorological Information Special Report".

On the 12th, the special report reported that the 24-hour snowfall in Jiangbei reached 12mm!

What is the concept of 12 mm, 7.5 mm or more can be called Blizzard.

There are also differences in snowfall and snow depth. Simply put, if the snowfall is 1mm, if there is no melting on the ground, the snow depth will reach 6-8mm.

The 24-hour snowfall is 12 millimeters. If it is not for the rain mixed with snow, it will melt a lot, and the snow accumulation will reach about 8 centimeters!

Even with the rain washing away, the snow depth in Hirakawa that day reached more than 5 centimeters.

And this is just the beginning, the heavy snow in the sky shows no signs of stopping.

...

Sunan.

Jinling.

Up and down a slope, four young girls wrapped like rice dumplings, stood by the side of the road and waited.

Soon, a car appeared in front of several people.

Several girls hurriedly scanned the tires of the car, seeing that the other party did not install snow chains, their eyes lit up, and they hurriedly raised the signs in their hands.

The signboard reads in big bold letters - snow chains for sale!

The car did not stop, and drove directly uphill.

However, these girls chose to sell snow chains here, so they were naturally prepared.

This is an uphill area, and the road is too flat.

When the weather is fine, Kaiping Road is naturally cooler.

But now it has been snowing for two days, and the road is icy and slippery.

As long as the average driver is not a particularly powerful veteran and the driving force of the car is not very strong, he will definitely not be able to climb up.

Sure enough, the car tried several times, and finally found that it might not be possible to go up the slope by itself.

The car quickly stopped doing futile work, the door opened, and a middle-aged man got out of the car and walked towards several girls, asking, "How much are the snow chains?"

"Uncle, this is the latest rubber chain, only 400 is enough for a pair..."

The middle-aged man said with an ugly face: "400, you guys are too dark, it's not that I haven't bought it before, I just forgot to bring it this time. It seems that it was less than 200 when I bought it last time..."

"Uncle, ours is different. There are good and bad things. Our snow chains are the best. We got 380 from the manufacturer. In such a cold day, we are almost frozen in the wind here. , Always give us some money.

And we only sell a pair for 400, you go to the front and see, there are people selling it there, and if it is less than 500, no one will pay attention to you. "

The ponytail chattered for a while, and the middle-aged man looked at the steep slope, and then at the nearby roads. It might take dozens of miles to detour, forget it, 400 is 400.

When the middle-aged man finished paying and left with the snow chains, the girls couldn't help sniggering.

Qian Jiajia rubbed her red face and said excitedly, "The 12th pair! The purchase price is 240, and one pair earns 160. Tingting, do the math, how much did we earn?"

Ponytail smiled and said: "1920 yuan! We still have 18 pairs, so it shouldn't be difficult to sell them today.

When it's sold out, we can earn 4,800 yuan. According to the ratio of our payment, Jiajia, you can get almost 1,400 yuan.

In just one day, we earned two months of living expenses, which is really cool! "

Qian Jiajia immediately cheered up, feeling so happy to make money for the first time in her life.

Although it was a bit cold, although I was still a little scared when I bought it.

But now, Qian Jiajia only feels refreshed from head to toe, and doesn't even care about the cold.

...

When Qian Jiajia and the others were having fun, Li Dong was not.

He still underestimated the impact of heavy snow.

In just two days, the snow has almost reached 10 centimeters thick.

Such heavy snow not only affected the logistics of e-commerce companies such as Taobao, but Li Dong's side was also greatly affected.

He still overestimated the bearing capacity of Yuanfang Logistics. He felt that others could not continue to do it, but Yuanfang could definitely do it.

But the snow was too heavy. In two days, more than 20 vehicles from Yuanfang Logistics were blocked in the middle of the road, and more than 10 vehicles just lay down and turned off.

Listening to the reports around him, Li Dong suddenly said: "Contact the supermarket storage centers in various places, if the express mail from the distant mall cannot be delivered in time, you can get it from the local supermarket storage center!

When necessary, it can be obtained directly from the supermarket store. "

The big conference room fell silent for an instant.

Sun Tao frowned slightly and said, "President Li, this will affect the normal operation of the supermarket.

At this time, the logistics system on the supermarket side also came to a standstill. Fortunately, we prepared a few days in advance, and the storage center has sufficient goods, which is more advantageous than other supermarkets.

But if we still have to meet the supply of the mall, our advantage will no longer exist.

It may even affect the operation of the entire supermarket, plus the temporary call at this time, which is too much trouble. "

Li Dong said with a serious face: "This is not the time to think about these things, I said that Yuanfang Group is one, you have to understand what I mean!

Supermarkets and shopping malls are originally a combination of online and offline, and the two complement each other.

On the one hand, there are problems, and on the other hand, we can make up for the shortcomings. This is our advantage.

We have opened more than 500 supermarket stores throughout East China.

At this time, which e-commerce company can compare with us?

Do they have storage centers all over East China?

Do they have physical stores all over East China?

No!

And now their logistics channels have been intercepted by us for a small part. Our own logistics and outsourced logistics can't meet the logistics needs. How could they do it?

Since they can't do it, then we have to do better!

They may not be able to deliver the express delivery for half a month or a month, but we can be in a hurry. No matter how far it is, it will arrive in three days. What do you think consumers will think at this time?

Don't think too much, I trust our logistics team!

There is enough storage in the supermarket, and it will not affect the temporary call. We will deliver the follow-up goods in time. "

Sun Tao didn't object after hearing the words, nodded and said, "Then I'll make arrangements, but I'm afraid it will take some time."

"It's okay, don't panic, the more you panic, the easier it is to mess up."

Li Dong said again: "This is our opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"I don't care about other places, East China, I want to make Yuanfang Mall the largest electronic mall!"

"Shen Qian, go arrange it right away and prepare to hype it up. The items from Taobao won't arrive in eight or ten days, but all of our items will arrive within three days.

No matter how heavy the snow is, no matter how congested the roads are, let all consumers know that there is nothing we people from afar can't do! "

Shen Qian nodded and didn't say much.

This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it has destroyed Taobao's credibility in East China. This is just the beginning.

As long as it succeeds this time, it will be very difficult for Taobao to surpass Yuanfang Mall in the future.

Now let's see how long the heavy snow can last. It's not that everyone is cold-blooded, but it's like this in the business field.

Now the bigger the snow falls and the longer it takes, the more obvious their advantage will be.

If it lasts for ten days and a half months, other courier companies may have to suspend operations.

And Yuanfang Logistics will not!

Because they are fighting for their own business, even if they rely on manual handling, they can do their best.

Next, Li Dong issued a series of orders. At the moment when the heavy snow was flying, Yuanfang Group was enthusiastic.

Beyond Taobao!

Beyond Taobao!

They have shouted this slogan for a long time.

Soon after the establishment of the mall, they began to shout this slogan, and they have been shouting this slogan since the 7.18 war.

After the end of July 18, they surpassed briefly and were soon chased back by Taobao.

At that time, everyone felt that there might be no hope in recent years.

However, now everyone sees hope.

As long as the heavy snow lasts for a period of time this time, Taobao's logistics will come to a standstill, and their opportunity will come.

When everyone went out to do errands, Li Dong picked up his coat and went out.

Seeing this, Chen Ke hurriedly said, "Mr. Li, are you going out now?"

"Well, I'm going to visit various stores.

The snow is so heavy, I am not at ease. "

"Mr. Li!" Chen Ke hurriedly stopped him: "Mr. Li, let's forget it at this time. It's snowing too much outside, and I can't even see the road clearly. It's too dangerous."

Li Dong ignored her, and it was dangerous to inspect the store in Pingchuan, and the people from the logistics company were dead.

Putting on his coat, Li Dong went straight into the elevator.

Seeing this, Chen Ke gritted his teeth and hurriedly followed.

...

Lin'an.

Ma Yun stood by the window, his body already covered in snow.

Lin'an also had a heavy snowfall, very heavy, no less than Pingchuan.

After standing for a while, Ma Yun said with a hoarse voice, "What do SF Express and Yunda say?"

"Chairman, the snow is too heavy, and SF Express has requested to suspend operations. They said that they can't joke about the lives of employees, and other places are fine. Most cities in East China will suspend operations."

The man who spoke paused and continued: "The same goes for Yunda and several other logistics companies. At this time, we can only choose to stop.

After all, the snow is too heavy, accidents are easy to happen at this time..."

"Out of service!"

Ma Yun's face was a little stiff, and he gritted his teeth slightly: "Where is the distance?"

"Far away...far away..."

"explain!"

"Yuanfang Logistics is still in operation, and I heard that they have adopted an integrated online and offline strategy.

Now that the Internet has become popular, Yuanfang Mall guarantees that no matter how bad the weather is, it will arrive within three days.

Because of the last payment incident, consumers trust them very much.

In addition, Tee is also willing to continue to serve the distant place, and has not chosen to stop the operation. "

"Why?"

Ma Yun really couldn't understand why this happened?

SF Express and Yunda are not weaker than Santong, and even Santong can continue, why can't they?

The subordinates who reported didn't say a word, in fact, they knew it in their own minds.

Why?

Because there are too many merchants on Taobao!

Yes, but too complicated.

There are everywhere, maybe in the countryside, maybe in a remote street, or in an abandoned factory that doesn't shit.

It is too troublesome to pick up these logistics express, especially in this bad weather.

What about the distance?

Over there, big manufacturers deliver goods in a unified manner, and the work of express companies is much simpler and easier.

Just pull the goods directly from the warehouse and pull them to the express delivery point in the distance. Such a simple matter is too easy.

Although the road is a little dangerous, there is no job that is not dangerous these days.

At least compared to Taobao, it's much easier and safer to get files from far away, so Santong is naturally willing to continue working.

If the operation is stopped, they will also suffer heavy losses. No one wants to stop the operation unless it is a last resort.

Ma Yun was a little slumped, and murmured: "I hope the snow will stop soon."

The subordinate employees also hope so, but looking at the current situation, it seems that it will not be possible in a short time.

After being decadent for a while, Ma Yun regained his fighting spirit and gritted his teeth: "Continue to contact various logistics companies, talk to them, and add money!

We will increase the fee for Taobao Mall, and we will also provide express subsidies for other merchants!

I don't believe it, they are not tempted! "

"I'll get in touch right away."

The man didn't say much, what else can he do besides adding money at this time?

If all the shopping malls are out of service, there is nothing to say, and Taobao doesn't care.

But others have stopped, but the distance is continuing, they can't stop at this time.

The East China region is not small, and the population is even more numerous. This is not the west region, where you can just give up if you say you want to.

Once East China is abandoned, even if Taobao is not finished, I am afraid that it will lose its competitiveness in front of Yuanfang.

For consumers, the sense of responsibility and credibility of a company is of paramount importance.

At this time, many people were unable to go shopping because of the heavy snowfall. Originally, everyone pinned their hopes on Taobao.

In the end, Taobao told them that because of the weather, they had to wait for ten days and half a month, what did they think?

Every family is like this, so they can only admit it.

But at this time, Yuanfang jumped out and told everyone that we can, and we will definitely deliver it within three days.

Good guy, he snatched away customers from other e-commerce companies in one fell swoop.

It's easy to snatch it away, but it's not so easy to snatch it back.

That's why Ma Yun was in a hurry, he understood this better than anyone else.

When the subordinate left, Ma Yun said a little tiredly: "Is even God helping you?"

If it weren't for God's help, how could Li Dong have such an opportunity.

Taobao's logistics channel was cut off partly, and then encountered heavy snow, and most of the channels of other logistics companies were paralyzed.

At this time, what else can Ma Yun say?

Non-war crimes!

It's not that Taobao is inferior to others, it's not that they don't work hard enough, and it's not that they don't develop well.

It's just that this snow came at an inappropriate time, one year in advance, or one year later.

The year before, Yuanfang didn't have the strength to challenge Taobao. After another year of delay, his rookie logistics network had also been built to a certain scale. At that time, he was not afraid.

But it happened at this time, hell!

Thinking of this, and remembering that he had suspected Li Dong's conspiracy before, Ma Yun suddenly bent down.

This is not a coincidence, this is all premeditated, Li Dong has premeditated!

He probably knew that it was going to snow heavily, and Li Dong would bet on it after knowing this.

It is not difficult to know if it is snowing, and some professional organizations and old farmers can actually tell.

But if you want to know how big the bet is, you need to gamble. There is no doubt that Li Dong won the bet.

In fact, even if he lost the bet, Li Dong didn't seem to lose anything.

If it were me, I would be willing to take a gamble.

Unfortunately, it was too late. He never thought that Li Dong would find another way to defeat himself in terms of weather.

At this time, Ma Yun thought of a person, Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge used the east wind to defeat Cao Cao, now Li Dong also wants to use the heavy snow to defeat himself?

Ma Yun laughed at himself, how could that guy look like Zhuge Liang, and he was not Cao Cao.

"Why!"

A sigh, drifting away with the wind.
