Since Taobao and Taobao logistics developed rapidly in Brand Day and SARS, Li Mu has not found a suitable opportunity to promote the hard power behind Taobao and Taobao logistics.

Traditional boasting is okay, but the effect is not so good and not so explosive, and the best way is to pretend to be invisible.

The highest level of invisible pretending is not that I say that I am awesome, but that I show my awesome side and make others stunned and say that I am awesome.

Therefore, Li Mu deliberately wanted to bring William to visit, in fact, he intended to show the outside world the development of Taobao and Taobao logistics through him.

Especially in the Western world, they know Makino Technology very well, but for Taobao and Taobao logistics, they have basically only heard of and know that this company is also Li Mu's, but they have no concept of how this company is doing.

Li Mu also wants to show his Taobao and Taobao logistics to the Western world through William's perspective, and the height and scale that Taobao logistics has reached at this stage, so that Western people can have an understanding of Taobao and Taobao logistics.

Taobao and Taobao logistics are very different from the business of Makino Technology, which is a completely online business, so it can follow the network cable and expand its business to any corner of the world, but Taobao and Taobao logistics are not enough.

E-commerce is almost all a combination of online and offline industries, to expand to overseas markets, the online part is easy, but the offline part is very difficult, logistics is even more difficult, Shunfeng has developed for so many years, and it has not really made too much of a name overseas.

Even at this stage, Makino technology is developing so rapidly, Li Mu has no plans to let Taobao and Taobao logistics go to sea for the time being.

However, not preparing to go to sea for the time being does not mean that we are not preparing to develop overseas in the future.

The rapid rise of Amazon in the next ten years, Li Mu is still very aware of the process of Amazon's rapid rise in the next ten years, once Taobao and Taobao logistics accumulate enough strength in China, he will inevitably smash into the sky, so that these two products are bundled together to go to sea.

It is not yet the time to go to sea and anchor to the sea, but it is still necessary to do a good job of propaganda and foreshadowing in advance, not to mention that it is more effective to advertise the Western world through William than other means.

After the news of William's visit to Taobao Logistics was released, Li Mu's plan received excellent feedback, most of the people in Western countries have the impression of Huaxia, and they are still in a backward and unopen prejudice thinking, the success of Muye Technology, in their eyes, is an example of Internet curve overtaking, but it does not represent that the country's private enterprises have entered a stage of rapid development.

However, the entire information process of Taobao logistics from warehousing to sorting to transportation has fooled the people of the entire Western countries.

Li Mu can confidently say that the small logistics of any country in the world are far less advanced than Taobao logistics!

The reason is very simple, e-commerce in any country, is far from the development of Huaxia so fast, so mature, therefore, small logistics in any other country has not ushered in the peak of demand, in this case, involved in small logistics enterprises simply have no motivation to innovate.

But Taobao is different, Li Mu is facing a super market of 1.3 billion people, and has a large set of guiding ideologies that will mature more than ten years later, and there are enough financial and technical strength to support it, and quickly make the 2C-end e-commerce bigger and stronger.

And 2C, that is, e-commerce for ordinary consumers, most of the orders belong to small logistics, so Li Mu naturally has enough motivation to quickly promote the strength of Taobao logistics in small logistics.

Because of this, Taobao Logistics has shown the whole world the innovative side of China's private enterprises.

At the beginning of the 21st century, there are many entities that can do comprehensive informatization and automation, especially enterprises in the traditional entity industry, and there are not many in the world.

For a time, the entire Western media almost as agreed, Taobao logistics did not hesitate to appreciate, many media even believe that Taobao logistics, is a model for the development of global private enterprises, its consciousness is advanced, almost ahead of the traditional industry an era.

Even the German media said sourly in their own reports: "Li Mu took away our automatic sorting system, took away our heavy trucks, and then like magic, came up with such a grand and advanced logistics system, they even installed chips, radio frequency systems and GPS positioning systems in every German-made truck, we are thinking about how to make the truck run farther and faster, but Li Mu connected our trucks to the Internet, so that they become part of the Internet system......"

Japan's media is the most sour, they said: "Our GDP is above China, but we have not seen an Internet company comparable to Makino Technology in our country, oh no, we don't seem to have Internet companies in China, as for small logistics, I feel that Taobao Logistics's parcel volume in a day is close to the whole year of Japan......"

The proud British media said: "Thank you Prince William for helping us open our eyes, but also shattered our consistent self-confidence and arrogance, Taobao logistics is full of science fiction operation process, enough for every British company to study seriously for a period of time, we need to reflect on why we have never been like Taobao logistics, try our best to make a system work more perfect." ”

The American media, which has always regarded itself as a pioneer in science and technology, expressed the same opinion: " It's just an ordinary small piece of logistics, in the eyes of Americans, is to mail a postcard from one city to another, it doesn't need to be fast, as long as it can arrive before Christmas or New Year, even if the postcard is only sent in October, but Li Mu, who is far away in China, is trying to make the logistics time between most cities in this country shortened to less than 24 hours, the same is a postcard, in the United States, you have to prepare one or two months in advance, otherwise you will miss the holiday, but in China, as long as you think about the day before the holiday, you can send the postcard to your friends on time, this is the gap in doing thingsBut at the end of the day, it's the gap in entrepreneurial thinking. ”

In the face of praise from all over the world, Li Mu was extremely satisfied, but he was not worried about the leakage of secrets.

Senior Brother Liu and Mr. Lei are still a little worried about whether Li Mu has disclosed too much, and even announced the algorithm, logic, and processing plan at the bottom of his box, whether it will benefit potential competitors in the future.

Li Mu didn't care at all, but said to the two of them with a confident face in Taobao's high-level conference room: "Small logistics is so frustrating informatization and automation, only we have the ability to do it in the world, and only we have the need to do this." ”

"You look at UPS, the family is big, and the business is all over the world, where is their money smashed? fleet, constantly expanding the fleet, hundreds of aircraft, but also leased hundreds, such a heavy asset model, you let them achieve full automation and informatization in a short period of time on a global scale, update all the logistics hubs in the world automation equipment, update all the warehousing equipment, it won't take long to drag them down!"

"The larger the scale, the more difficult it is to do comprehensive innovation, the cost is too high, the CEO does not have the courage, and the board of directors will not have it, they can only upgrade little by little, innovate little by little, and take a long time to complete the iteration of the entire system. ”

"On the other hand, small and medium-sized logistics enterprises, which are already struggling to survive under the blow of large enterprises, and do not have enough capital support, what to imitate us? Checking and filling in the gaps, so much work to sit down, the comprehensive research and development cost of a system is bound to be more than 10 million US dollars, and the maintenance costs behind it are also surprisingly high, who can afford to play?"

Senior Brother Liu was stunned, scratched his head and said, "In this way, there are really not many people who can afford to play......

Sect Leader Lei also smiled and said, "Listening to Mr. Li's analysis, my heart is much more steady. ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "Not every logistics company has a Taobao and Makino technology behind it, and so on in the future, the hardware laboratory of Makino technology will continue to develop in the field of software and hardware development of smart devices, and our degree of informatization can be further improved. ”

Brother Liu said: "In the next step, we plan to continue to invest in the construction of warehousing and sorting centers to increase the density, especially in the southeast region. ”

Li Mu nodded and said: "Storage capacity and operational efficiency are on the one hand, capacity is on the other, our fleet will continue to expand, at the same time, continue to increase cooperation with civil aviation, and strive to sign long-term strategic cooperation agreements with several major airlines, and win most of their belly warehouse resources." ”

Saying that, Li Mu said again: "Senior Brother Liu, I heard that the country is brewing the fifth railway speed-up, do you know about this?"

Senior Brother Liu immediately said: "I understand, this time the speed is different from the past, and the action is very large. ”

Li Mu asked him: "What are the specific performances?"

Senior Brother Liu said: "I have a high school classmate, who is studying machinery, working as an engineer in Qishuyan Locomotive Factory, I heard that I was going to do a big speed-up after talking to him, and he revealed a little hardware level information to me. ”

Li Mu was interested, and hurriedly said, "Tell me." ”

Brother Liu said: "Qishuyan Locomotive Factory has developed a new set of double-engine reconnected passenger locomotives, the model is DF11G, the biggest difference between this locomotive and other Dongfeng locomotives is that it runs fast, with a design maximum speed of 170 kilometers per hour, which is very remarkable. ”

Sect Master Lei asked curiously: "Mr. Liu, let me interrupt, what is the reconnection of two machines?"

Senior Brother Liu said: "It is two locomotives that run together, and DF11G is a fixed two locomotive heads together, so the traction power will be greater, the acceleration will be high, and it is suitable for fast running." ”

Li Mu asked him, "Senior Brother Liu, what is the main purpose of these new locomotives?"

Brother Liu said: "Of course, it is passenger transport, railway transportation, freight is more than jogging, passenger transport is less pull fast running, the design speed of 170 kilometers per hour locomotive, is born to do passenger transport, I heard that the railway department is ready to use this locomotive to run the country's first and second tier cities between the direct train, that is, the Z prefix, generally speaking, such a distance from Yanjing to Shanghai, can achieve the arrival of the evening." ”

Li Mu asked again: "What good news is there for us?"

Senior Brother Liu said: "We do small logistics, in fact, it is more similar to passenger transportation, and it is most suitable for traveling package express trains. In the future, if the provincial capital city to the first-tier cities are opened such a direct train, the speed is much faster than our automobile transport, the load and cost is much lower than the air transport, just in the middle of land transport and air transport, the cost performance is very high, the simplest is that we can directly find the railway department to cooperate, each straight special, we contract one or two lines of chartered carriages, and even, you can also apply for the opening of point-to-point express package trains. ”

Speaking of this, Senior Brother Liu became a little excited and said: "Mr. Li, think about it, a container truck, a 40-foot cabinet, with a volume of more than 50 cubic meters, but the bottom of the XL25T car issued by the railway department is designed at a speed of 180 kilometers per hour, which completely matches DF11G, and its effective volume of a single car is more than 160 cubic meters, a wagon can top 3 container trucks, a special train is 20 wagons, and 60 container trucks on the top of this train!"

When Li Mu heard this data, he was also excited.

Senior Brother Liu continued: "You see, the design speed is 170 kilometers per hour, and the evening departs from the sunset, that is to say, the loading from Yanjing at 8 o'clock tonight will basically arrive in Shanghai at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, and the same distance, the container car will have to run for almost 24 hours, what a big gap is this? If the railway department is willing to open a special train for us, one train a day, two trains from Shanghai and Yanjing, 12 hours, we can exchange 120 containers of goods between the two cities! This efficiency is not much slower than that of an airplane! The key is that the capacity is large and the cost performance is higher!"

Li Mu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he blurted out: "This is reliable! If we can open a special train between the big hubs, our entire turnover speed and capacity will be improved a lot, and the speed and capacity will also be a huge boost to Taobao's business development, which is too important to us!"

After that, Li Mu said to Senior Brother Liu: "Senior brother, hurry up and find a way to establish in-depth cooperation with the railway department, we resolutely support the railway speed-up, and are willing to become the first batch of cooperative enterprises for the railway speed-up, no matter what, we have to beg the railway department to open a few express package special trains for us, even if it costs more, we must find a way to win! At this stage, capacity and efficiency are far more important to us than money!"
