Chapter 184: The Problem of Logistics

Wu Chenggong was very good at cooking, and he wanted to help and help, but he was driven out by the people in the kitchen.

After that, Zhao Lingling's father handed over tea, fruits, melon seeds and so on. As for Wu Xianglan, she insisted on going in to help, and she wanted to learn how to cook, and claimed that the kitchen was a woman's territory, and a man went out.

In the end, Zhao Lingling's father was also kicked out.

So in the end, in the living room, it was Zhao's father and Wu Chenggong who sat next to each other.

"Brother, don't be busy, sit down, do you usually fish?" Wu Chenggong said, he likes fishing, just at the entrance of the villa is built by the lake, when he has nothing to do, he likes to fish or something.

Zhao Lingling's father looked a little shy, or shy.

"I like it, I like it, there is a river near our hometown, I plan to finish Ling Ling's work in Hangzhou after a while, and when the time comes, I will go fishing when I have nothing to do." ”

It's rare that Zhao's father also likes fishing, he actually wants to go fishing, but in Hangzhou, where can he go fishing, even if there is, how to get there?

The two fathers have common hobbies and similar life backgrounds, and when they chatted, they slowly became acquainted. Talking about some village affairs, or current world national events...

Well, they all love this, watch national events, and comment on national events.

The two mothers were busy in the kitchen, and the smell of food soon spread to the living room.

At this moment, Zhao Lingling, Jin Fei'er and Wu Bin were in Zhao Lingling's room. What for?

Ask the Question...

Zhao Lingling felt that when he was in high school, if he had half of the serious attitude of studying during this time, 985 or 211 should not be a big problem.

One question after another was thrown, and Wu Bin and Jin Feier were consulted to answer them, and these questions were recorded in a small book.

By the way, I have some derivative questions of my own thinking, and I asked Wu Bin and Jin Fei'er whether it is feasible.

For example, the inventory section also gave her some suggestions, and she actually knew that Wu Bin had always attached great importance to the inventory.

Therefore, the salary of the company's personnel who manage inventory and stock is much higher than the industry average.

The industry is in charge of the prosperity of inventory because all the sales base is based on inventory, once the inventory can not keep up, what plans are behind, what operational ideas, etc. are nonsense, no need to think.

At present, the company has a special docking inventory of employees, real-time staring at the inventory, grasping the stocking, and actively communicating with the operation, some goods are overstocked, or continue to stock up normally, the normal stocking is the previous month's sales shall prevail, if the excess stocking, it is according to the operation rhythm of the next month, what single product you want to promote, and then carry out overstocking.

There is no certain standard for the amount of stocking, but it must be taken into account that the time of the factory's order to be delivered is fast, three or five days, most of which are about seven days, but slow, fifteen days, twenty days or even a month, and then there is the time spent on the road, from the factory to the company's warehouse, so the specific stocking rhythm and stocking amount have to be different algorithm accounting, and try to ensure that the inventory is not continuous.

In this area, Zhao Lingling felt that the current requirements of the company's inventory were already very good, at least she couldn't find any major problems, even if there were problems, they were very small.

However, the stocking can almost be said to be designed and arranged by Wu Bin, can it be bad?

Stocking is one thing, the second point is the transportation of this piece, the current company is very large, every month of logistics costs, express delivery fees have been almost millions, some times have to exceed, so the company's pure profits, logistics has dried up a lot, if logistics can save a little, it is pure profits.

Some of the goods that cannot be sent by SF Express are directly contracted to a nearby express site, so that it is much cheaper to send express delivery by themselves.

Zhao Lingling's main suggestion is actually similar to contracting logistics sites, or take some money out and invest in logistics companies, so that the logistics costs will definitely be much cheaper in the future.

In fact, Wu Bin has also thought about this, he has been in Hangzhou during this time, and he has taken a break from today's news, and he has some money in his hands, and he has actually found some information about logistics companies.

But the final result is that it is not very reliable, and this part is abandoned.

Although logistics will definitely become more and more profitable in the future, there are many people who fancy this industry, so the competition behind will be great, and the profits will gradually become thinner.

Then there is the national restriction on the overloading of trucks, and then the logistics cost will definitely soar directly.

Of course, the most important thing is that Tmall supermarket will start to engage in the collection warehouse next year, when the time comes, although it is not mature, but the price is actually not much different, in general, compared to the normal logistics of merchants, it will gradually become cheaper...

Zhao Lingling is not Wu Bin after all, and he can't use the definite future as a basis to reverse whether the current decision is correct and appropriate.

In the short term, it is actually possible to invest in logistics. But in the long run, Ali will directly win the cake of logistics, of course, this is also the desire of merchants.

There is no way, now there are only three warehouses, and in the next two years, it can develop to more than a dozen warehouses or even more than 20 warehouses.

After all, after Tmall Supermarket is now taken back by Ali, a lot of money has been invested every year, and as a big money-burner for the entire Ali, the overall scale expansion must be very obvious.

And the scale expansion, the continuous improvement of popularity, the warehouse stocking must also keep up, the timeliness must also keep up, then inevitably, the warehouse has to open, keep open, keep open...

Think about JD.com, why JD.com can buy things so quickly and deliver them to buyers, because they have a lot of warehouses.

A few large warehouses plus dozens of small warehouses, the goods are nearby, can it not be fast? If it is the same as express delivery, from city A to city B, Jingdong is much slower than express delivery.

Jingdong also relied on the logistics to fight a bloody road, gradually gain a firm foothold, and continue to become stronger to make Ali jealous.

However, although Ali also learned about the advantages of Jingdong logistics and the places worth learning, there was a rookie.

But the difference between Ali and JD is that JD buys it by itself, builds it by itself, and makes it by itself.

And Ali is, cooperation. This place directly looks for this logistics, and another place may find another logistics cooperation. The most important thing for Ali is to provide technical support.

At the technical level, Ali is several grades ahead of JD.com.

"Well, this is indeed a good idea, if Tmall Supermarket has always been this scale, it is appropriate. But is it possible for Tmall Supermarket to continue at this scale?" said this, Wu Bin deliberately paused.

"Tmall supermarket is currently Ali's big money-consuming household, and the overall traffic is pouring in more and more, which can be said to be a stage of rapid development, and this stage will inevitably bring a sharp rise in the number of orders for Tmall supermarket, which brings the direct result of the rapid expansion of Tmall supermarket warehouses, and once the warehouse expands to more than a dozen or even more than twenty. Do you still think it is appropriate to use the current logistics and distribution method? In the past two days, you have also followed the logistics and distribution process several times. Once those things are multiplied tenfold, do you think that the company will have to hire a few more people to complete the work well..."Wu Bin said what was going to happen in the future in the name of hypothesis.

At present, the general logistics distribution on the market, the delivery fee of a warehouse has to be 100-150, which means that when there are really more than 20 warehouses in the future, the logistics and transportation costs are not counted, and it will cost more than 3000 to send all the warehouses once. Small businesses, it's OK to do it, and it's normal to send it three or four times a month.

That is to say, the monthly delivery fee starts at 10,000 yuan, plus the freight, about 100 square meters, and it is estimated that there will be a shipping fee of more than 10,000 to 20,000 yuan.

Even in 17 years, the vast majority of merchants have difficulty shipping 100 square meters a month.

According to this accounting, as long as Ali Cainiao's collection warehouse model, the logistics cost is not higher than 30% of the logistics company's quotation, because the logistics company plus the distribution fee is higher than the collection warehouse.

Finally, the warehouse also has a very obvious advantage, that is, merchants do not have to have a headache for appointments.

There are more than 20 warehouses, each warehouse has to track the logistics delivery to what extent, the handling of various problems encountered in the delivery of the warehouse, as well as the logistics and distribution in the middle, the damage of the goods, the damage of the outer packaging and other problems appropriate communication, etc.

In the past two days, Zhao Lingling has followed the company's assistant, and probably followed to familiarize himself with these or those things encountered in the delivery process, such as the number of goods is not right, and the number of goods is not checked in time to compare, such as how to deal with the damage and rejection of the goods, such as the damage to the outer packaging of the goods, the refusal of the cat's super warehouse needs to be coordinated by them, etc.

Wu Bin's family has a lot of goods, so the probability of encountering something is also very high, so Wu Bin's assumption, Zhao Lingling was stunned for a moment.

Hurriedly shook her head, and the things she dealt with suddenly multiplied tenfold, then she would have to go crazy.
