Chapter 1390 Logistics Status
Although the country has kicked off the prelude to large-scale construction, the construction of highways and railways is far from comparable to that of later generations. Therefore, few logistics parks have been truly established now.
Many large factories basically use trucks to directly enter the site and pull from the warehouse, and there is no concept of centralized logistics parks. Because the toll for land transportation is too expensive now.
If it is possible, many manufacturers will choose the cheapest mode of transportation, first sea transportation, then railway, and then land transportation.
Therefore, when Miaoshan established logistics parks in seven provinces in China, many local governments were very enthusiastic about this large investment. But there is actually no concept of what a logistics park is. Generally speaking, it is just a huge storage warehouse.
However, when the Institute of Physics began to operate, especially when it was distributing goods to large supermarkets near the city, people really saw how efficient a highly efficient logistics park is.
Moreover, e-commerce is undoubtedly the industry that is most dependent on logistics, because air transportation is not enough to cover the cost, and sea transportation or water transportation is far from meeting the requirements of distributing goods to the whole country. Only land transportation can be taken.
The reason why Jingdong in the later generations always feels that it is not as good as Tmall and Taobao is that every time a promotion festival is over, the sales volume of the two companies always feels a bit different.
But Jingdong can still be worth hundreds of billions of dollars, of which his own logistics system is worth more than hundreds of billions of dollars. Then there are other assets.
The reason why Alibaba's market value is so high is actually mainly due to the success of Alipay's financial services. It has only gradually improved its logistics system in the e-commerce sector. Putting aside the advantage of being the first to eat crabs, to be honest, its net assets may not be able to compete with JD.com.
"You are getting fat again, you should control it." Yang Dongxu teased Miaoshan in a teahouse.
Compared with the Miao Ye on the road a few years ago, Miaoshan now is more like a kind person who eats vegetarian food and chants Buddha. Not to mention that there is no hostility on him, the whole person gives people a very kind feeling.
When he wears the button-down shirt with the lines of the elderly, holding a rosary in his hand, the whole person looks like a wise man who has seen through the prosperity and cultivated his body and mind to a certain level.
When people reach a certain age, especially when their hair turns gray, as long as their faces are not too fierce and violent, they will look more graceful. People who are thinner will look more dignified, and people as fat as Miaoshan look kind.
"I can't lose weight, so I can only try my best to control my blood pressure and blood lipids. I finally live a little more freely, but I can't let my mouth down again." Miaoshan put the rosary in his hand on the table and took a sip of the teacup. Even the tea art lady next to him felt that this uncle was very stylish.
"Did you encounter any troubles in the operation of the logistics park?" Yang Dongxu asked.
"No, everything went smoothly. We started out with trucks and transportation, and we are familiar with this. The barcode scanner and software you asked Dongxu Technology to develop are so useful.
All goods in and out, just scan the barcode, and you can see the production date, the number of pieces, when they were put into the warehouse, what was shipped out, and where they were sent. Everything is clear.
As long as you are careful not to break the packaging when loading and unloading the truck, the entire delivery efficiency is much more convenient than before. The most troublesome thing now is online shopping.
Although many goods are also shipped by manufacturers in batches, they are sent to different places. All trucks are transported to the logistics park, and they have to be screened one by one according to which courier is from which place. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive." Miao Shan said helplessly.
People are like this. When they can save trouble, they want to save more trouble. Now it is not as troublesome as before to transport containerized and large goods, so I think that this time-consuming and labor-intensive reverse express sorting is more convenient.
"It's a bit demanding to have an automatic sorting instrument or software. Even if it can be made, it's very expensive." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
Intelligent sorting is just one part. If it can be made within ten years, it will be considered fast. Some things cannot be achieved by basic technology, and even if they can be made, there is no way to achieve cost-effectiveness.
"It's a bit greedy." Miao Shan couldn't help laughing.
"Do you have any suggestions for the company's future development?"
"The logistics park is basically enough. Put two in the middle, two in the north and south, and one in the west. It can basically cover the whole country.
So compared to building a logistics park, I think we should do more specific door-to-door delivery services. But this is not easy to do at present. There are no roads in many places, and cars can't get through at all. Even if we want to deliver to the door, we can't do it."
Now the superstructure can be said that Dafeng Logistics has basically completed all the construction. The logistics park is there, and the trucks and truck drivers are basically in place.
Now as long as the couriers at the bottom are caught, Dafeng Logistics can basically be straightened out from top to bottom. In Miao Shan's opinion, this structure does not need to be rectified for ten years. Just slightly modify and supplement according to the development of technology.
But now the most downstream delivery service not only needs a large number of couriers, but the road is a big problem. You say that the couriers can be recruited and trained, but the road cannot be repaired just like that.
"Let's go to the township level first. Now the township-level roads across the country are still passable for small trucks. And broadband has basically been popularized to the township level.
There are basically two types of goods delivered to towns and villages: rural supermarket distribution and online shopping express delivery. So stretching to this level first is basically enough. Let’s wait until the national infrastructure is further developed. Yang Dongxu said.
"This is not easy. You don't know how to do it, and you will be shocked when you do it. You know that our country has 1,636 county-level regions alone. Each county is responsible for a dozen or so towns, even if it is small. With three or four couriers, the number will increase many times, so even if there are two couriers in one town, there will be tens of thousands of people. "
Miao Shan couldn't help feeling a little emotional. To be honest, when he was messing around on the road before, he felt like he was already dominating with a hundred or so horses in his hand.
I never thought that one day I would be able to manage the feeding of tens of thousands of people, and this does not include the logistics personnel. If all were included, some large towns would have to allocate more people.
If this stall is completely spread out. The official employees of Dafeng Logistics cost at least 100,000 yuan, not to mention the other people and families who rely on Dafeng Logistics to work.
"Didn't I remind you before that you need to cooperate with the postal service? Every bank in the country counts, even if we take the eldest central bank as an example. No one can have a large number of postal savings base stations. It is standard to have at least one postal savings base in every town." Yang Dongxu Said with a smile.
Miao Shan couldn't help but nodded, "I have to say, before I learned about the postal service first, I always felt that among the domestic banks, the four major state-owned banks were the most powerful, and then the remaining banks felt that Minsheng was richer than the postal service. Look at people's livelihood. Bank business hall, are you looking at the post office?
But I was dumbfounded by this understanding. In terms of having a strong family background, I still feel that the post office is awesome. Even though there are few business outlets in township offices, farmers in every township deposit money there. Mosquito legs are also meat. Adding up all the meat in the country, the four major banks may not have as much total deposits as the Postal Service. . "
"There is strength when there are many people. This saying also makes sense in the banking industry." Yang Dongxu laughed. Even if a farmer's family only saves 10,000 yuan a year, there are many farmers.
Moreover, farmers’ savings are very fixed, basically unless there are big events such as family members getting sick, building a house, or weddings and funerals. It is common to deposit the money in the bank on a regular basis for three to five years.
In recent years, as the country continues to open up the banking industry, there has also been some competition in the traditional banking industry. Many banks have assigned employees the task of collecting deposits.
But it’s rare to see Postal Bank employees make news for soliciting deposits, or have other bad things reported to them. In many towns and villages, there is only one bank, the Post Office, so there is no need to rush, they can just wait for depositors to come to their door.
And because there is only a Postal Bank in my hometown, the money earned by so many people working outside must also be deposited in the Postal Bank. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome to have to go to the city bank to get money back home.
"How's the cooperation going?" Yang Dongxu asked.
"We're almost done talking. Our express delivery can go through the postal service's transportation system. The online store can also be built by relying on the postal service, or even open a separate counter at the postal service, which will save a lot of trouble at once." Shan said.
"The other party doesn't want anything less, right?"
"That's not good." Miao Shan even spoke in Northeastern dialect.
The Postal Service has a strong financial background, but this financial strength has become obsolete over the years. Basically, what postal savings in villages and towns looked like 20 years ago is basically the same now except for the installation of more computers.
Moreover, the more outlets there are, the more staff there will be. Plus there are retired people and new ones recruited every year. No matter how rich the Postal Service is, it will not have more money to spend on improving its own system.
Therefore, the township online store post office provides Dafeng logistics with convenience, especially in modern logistics and transportation in big cities. In addition to those special materials and special express delivery, Dafeng Logistics needs to help share the pressure on the postal service.
It allowed him to take a breather and see if he could take the opportunity to adjust and optimize the already tense and congested logistics and transportation. After all, with the rise of e-commerce now, anyone who is not blind can roughly see the importance of logistics in the future.
Haven't you seen that Ma Fengyun has been hurriedly trying to get his own logistics out of Dafeng in the past few years?
As the immediate boss in the express delivery industry, he is still the absolute leader in this industry. If the Postal Service is determined to adjust, it will basically have nothing to do with other logistics companies.
Even a logistics company like Dafeng Logistics, which was the first to try it out and was willing to spend a lot of money, can at best be first-class, and the boss position must be Postal Service.
It's just that it's hard to turn around a big ship. This doesn't mean that reform means reform or transformation means transformation. This is also the reason why Yang Dongxu invested a lot of money to promote the rapid deployment of Dafeng Logistics.
Taking advantage of the fact that the size of the boss is too big to adjust, let’s capture the market first. When the boss also wants to do this, at least there will be a market to hold on to.
