Chapter 559

At the beginning of the year, Fang zhe sent Xu Wenbin, a senior backbone dug by Huizhong from Shunfeng, to Hangzhou to discuss the preparation for the establishment of a logistics network company with Alibaba, three links and one Da and other companies.

Originally, before Huizhong's intervention, Alibaba had had a general discussion with companies such as three links and one Da, but under Fang zhe7's cheeky and threatening negotiation, President Ma agreed to let Huizhong join the partnership.

With Fang Zhe's ambition and appetite, it is impossible to be satisfied with a few percent of the participating shares. Therefore, the three links and one Da and other investors such as Yintai group and Fosun Group can only hold their nose to renegotiate with ALI and Huizhong.

After three months of negotiations, several major investors finally finalized the investment amount and equity agreement of the upcoming rookie network.

Alibaba invested 3.4 billion shares, Huizhong invested 2.6 billion shares, Yintai Group invested 2.2 billion shares, Fuchun and Fosun invested 700 million shares, accounting for 7%.

In addition, the three links and one Da plus SF will each contribute 100 million, accounting for 1% of the shares. In total, the major investors will invest 10 billion yuan in rookies!

RMB 10 billion, which is double the investment amount agreed by several major investors when Huizhong intervened three months ago. Under the negotiation of Huizhong, several major investors can only bite their teeth and give up their shares while adding investment amount.

At the Hangzhou International Convention Center, guests and media reporters gathered together. On the podium, President Ma, who is also the leader of Alibaba, the largest shareholder of rookie network, organized and led the establishment of rookie network.

"First of all, on behalf of Alibaba, the investors of rookie network and the upcoming rookie network, I would like to welcome all guests, friends and media reporters.

Since the first day of its establishment, Alibaba has been dealing with express and logistics. Taobao, tmall and China's e-commerce have grown from scratch, from a small seedling to today's towering tree. Behind this, it is inseparable from the express industry and the contribution of tens of millions of couriers and truck drivers in the logistics industry.

The growth of e-commerce has nurtured the growth of express and logistics industry. In turn, the growth of express and logistics industry has improved the distribution service and distribution efficiency of e-commerce. They complement each other and are indispensable.

Today, China's e-commerce industry has become a multi trillion market, and the logistics industry has also achieved a market scale of hundreds of billions.

However, while affirming this achievement, we should also see the shortcomings.

More than ten years ago, there was only one state-owned China Post to do logistics and express business in China. Later, the policy was liberalized, and many express companies and logistics companies emerged all over the country.

Until today, there are thousands of express companies and logistics companies, large and small, all over the country, many of which belong to local logistics companies. The assets of the whole company may add up to more than a dozen vehicles, and the business scope is basically within a city or even a county.

This has also led to the low efficiency of express delivery in the whole logistics industry and the lack of smooth information. Many customers complain about the slow delivery of express delivery, the damage of express delivery and other problems in the express circulation link with us on Taobao and tmall.

This has always been a headache for me and all Ali people, because I said before that we Ali will not do logistics and will not enter the express industry to grab food from the current express companies.

Until today, I still stick to this sentence.

This time, the rookie network established by several of our investors in combination with three links and one Da and SF is not pure. There are many heavy asset logistics companies such as trucks and aircraft, but a company that plans, allocates and optimizes express logistics data.

From the seller's mobile phone to the final delivery to the customer, an express may have to circulate for thousands of miles, more than a dozen provinces, several transfer stations and the hands of several people. What the rookie network needs to do is to informatization and standardization of the whole process and continuously improve the express flow efficiency and distribution efficiency.

For example, if you want to send an express from Shenzhen sellers in the southernmost part of China to customers in Qiqihar in the northernmost part of China, it needs to be transferred at least five times.

The first is that the seller delivers the express to the receiving courier, the second is that the courier delivers the express to the unified centralized distribution station, and the third is that it is sent directly from the distribution station to Qiqihar. Of course, in the current domestic logistics system, the third link is difficult to be in place in one step, and there may be several transfers in the middle, but we only count once now.

The fourth and fifth times, in turn, repeat the previous two links. The fourth step is the express delivery to the distribution station in Qiqihar area for unloading. The fifth and last step is that the courier takes the goods from the distribution station and sends them to the customers.

A total of five steps are already the most basic five steps of most express delivery. What rookie network needs to do is to informatization each link, count and understand the circulation time of express delivery in each link, the logistics process, personnel, etc., and then optimize the efficiency of the whole express delivery circulation according to these centralized information.

For example, we found that in Qigihar and the whole northeast area, the toothpaste and toothbrush products purchased online are about 1 million, so we can establish warehousing system in the northeast area in advance and replenish 500 thousand to 700 thousand toothpaste toothbrushes periodically, so that the distance of customers' express delivery will be shortened by 1/3 directly.

Nowadays, in fact, many businesses of Taobao and tmall are already using their own warehousing systems. However, because Alibaba does not do logistics warehousing, each business is fighting its own way. The information is scattered and the distribution efficiency is very low. In the future, the rookie network needs to cooperate with several major logistics companies to integrate these resources.

For another example, we found that it took only two hours from the warehouse in the northeast to the distribution station in Qiqihar, but after the express arrived at the distribution station, the courier didn't pick up the goods and start distribution until two hours.

We will understand that the human resources of Qiqihar distribution station are insufficient and need to supplement couriers, or the current distribution route of couriers is not optimized, which wastes a lot of distribution time. In this way, we will optimize the best distribution scheme according to the address information of express and the human resources of the distribution station.

In the long run, our little optimization and improvement will continuously shorten the delivery time of the whole express.

According to the data estimation model we made before, by means of warehouse optimization and distribution optimization, three to five years after the establishment of rookie network, the distribution time of most express will be reduced to less than half of the current time!

Within 10 years, in most of China's third tier cities, express delivery will be delivered within 24 hours! "

Wow, fierce applause rang out in the whole venue like a tide!
