Chapter 159 Logistics Solutions

After listening to Fang Yi's several problem solutions, they all nodded in agreement, and Fang Yi continued, "In fact, in general, it is still the problem that our related supporting facilities are not perfect, since we know the problem and have sorted out a solution, then we need to implement it concretely." I think the core key to solving these problems lies in logistics, Huang Tao, tell me how happened to the Century Logistics Company you are in charge of recently?

Huang Tao sorted out his thoughts and said, "Mr. Fang, according to the guiding spirit of your last meeting, our Century Logistics Company has set up logistics departments in 32 provinces and municipalities in addition to Xinjiang Province and Tibet Province in China, but because of the transportation capacity, our transportation efficiency is not very high, and the goods after the customer places an order, as long as it involves inter-provincial goods, it will take about 4 days to receive the goods."

Fang Yi sorted out his thoughts, he had no experience in this area in his previous life, but he had never eaten pork but had seen pigs run, and said, "I put forward a goal for our logistics and distribution here, and the goods after consumers in our provincial capital cities and municipalities directly under the central government need to be delivered to consumers the next day."

Hearing this goal, Huang Tao jumped up and said, "Mr. Fang, this is impossible, I think it is compressed from the current 4 days to 2 days, and it is already the limit to achieve next-day delivery, and it is completely impossible to achieve next-day delivery across provinces."

Fang Yi didn't reason with Huang Tao and asked, "Brother Tao, now I give you a task, I need you to go to Yanjing on a business trip immediately, how long will you be able to arrive at the earliest?"

Huang Tao didn't know why Fang Yi asked like this, "If the matter is urgent, I'll take a plane and I can arrive tonight."

Fang Yi spread his hands and said, "Then since a person like you with more than 100 catties can arrive tonight, then our goods may only weigh a few catties, why can't we arrive in Yanjing tomorrow?"

Huang Tao quibbled, "Mr. Fang, how can the goods be compared with people, we are on a plane"

Fang Yi asked again, "Why can't the goods be compared with people, and who stipulates that the goods can't be taken on a plane?"

As soon as they heard that they were going to let the goods fly, everyone here looked at each other, and some people here have not yet taken a plane, so they want to let the goods fly, and at this time taking a plane is a very expensive and luxurious consumption.

Fang Yi waited for their emotions to reply before saying, "I can't let every commodity take a plane, but some of our goods definitely need to be sent by plane, for this I divide it into two steps, first, in the national Gaoli turnover warehouse, I decided to establish a turnover warehouse in Yanjing, Modu, Tangcheng, Shudu, Yangcheng, Jiangcheng, Shencheng these seven places, second, reasonable allocation of goods, we need to make full use of our C shopping network data, analyze consumer behavior, cycle statistics consumer clicks, The browsed goods are allocated in advance according to a certain proportion;Third, the nearest delivery, after our consumers place an order, we will deliver the goods from the nearest warehouse to the consumer;Fourth, the distribution team, establish their own distribution team, the goods arrive quickly picked, and quickly distributed. Brother Tao, do you think you can achieve the goal of the next day's delivery after completing these 4 points?"

Fang Yi's words made Huang Tao speechless, he thought that he could establish a provincial transportation team in such a short period of time, which was not easy, but he didn't expect Fang Yi to think so much and be so thoughtful nodded and said, "Mr. Fang, if you really follow your line of thinking, there will be no problem, but there will still be all kinds of problems, such as our transportation capacity is a big problem, and the current transport vehicles are often hundreds of thousands, and we don't have the kind of cars that can purchase such a large number of cars."

Fang Yi heard Huang Tao's approval, and put down a big stone in his heart, because as long as they recognized the operability of the plan, Fang Yi didn't have to worry about the execution of this team at all, but cars are really a big problem, China has a wide area, even if the two largest provinces are temporarily eliminated, but there are still hundreds of prefecture-level cities, if it is as small as the county level, it will be thousands, even if it is a line and a car, the funds required are also astronomical, thought about it and said" Why should we buy it, we can cooperate, there are transportation companies in various cities, we find one or two large-scale transportation companies in each province, and they will be responsible for transporting the goods for us, and we will pay them the corresponding transportation costs."

Huang Tao nodded and recorded it in his notebook, Fang Yi looked at him and continued to add, "Brother Tao, you must pay attention to the publicity of our company in your work, and you must unify the requirements when negotiating with the transportation company.

Seeing that Huang Tao's record was completed, Fang Yi continued, "Brother Tao, you have to be prepared, the execution of our meeting today is basically on the side of your logistics company."

Huang Tao nodded to express understanding, and Fang Yi continued, "Regarding the few questions just raised, I have summarized a plan, first, we have launched a fund protection plan, where the funds enter our Century Pass membership system, if they are lost for no reason, we are responsible for compensation, second, we have launched a seven-day no reason return service, all the products we sell, in the case of the appearance of the product is not damaged, consumers can return the goods within seven days without reason; In the area where we have opened our own delivery service, consumers can choose to pay on delivery, that is, consumers only need to place orders on the C shopping network, without paying any price, our delivery staff will send the goods to the address designated by the consumer, and after the consumer opens and checks the goods, the consumer will pay the purchase price in cash or by card; After-sales service problems, are handled by our C shopping network, and finally we confirm the solution with the manufacturer, in short, we sell the goods, we will be responsible for the end. ”

Mi Shi really didn't expect Fang Yi to have such a big adjustment to C-shopping and Century Logistics today, but if Fang Yi's idea can really be realized, then C-shopping will rise rapidly and lead the trend of online shopping.

Fang Yi continued, "The aircraft problem I just talked about also needs to be promoted, some of our products are not suitable for stocking up in various turnover warehouses, we have to use air transportation methods, such as mobile phones, hand accessories and other high-value goods, Mi Shi, you will cooperate with Huang Tao to negotiate with the airlines where our turnover warehouses are located, we will charter the belly space of their related routes, women sometimes speak more conveniently, if the conversation is deadlocked, you can also maneuver during the period" Speaking of this, he turned to Huang Tao and said, "Brother Tao, we have chartered the belly of the plane, and other express companies and logistics companies have to pay us if they need to use it, maybe we can also earn a certain profit in this area." In fact, a passenger plane, the proportion of the cabin position is relatively small, most of the space of the entire aircraft is in the belly, during which there is a lot of space to transport goods, it can be said that the real profit point of the airline lies in the cargo transportation, and the cabin transportation is a small head of them, but now in this year, the use of aircraft air transport is still a very high, large, upper line, not very important goods will not be used by air. It is this kind of thinking that leads to the price of air freight is very expensive, think about the whole cabin with a big belly, only transport such a lost cargo, and share the costs of all the costs, how high the transportation cost of the airline will be for this cargo, the cost is high, and the pricing will rise.

Mi Shi nodded and accepted this task, although Century Logistics is managed by Huang Tao, but now the entire Century Logistics is only serving the C shopping network, and she can only look forward to the rapid improvement of Century Logistics, so that the traffic and sales of the C shopping network will grow.

At this time, Fang Yi said to Zhao Li, "Zhao Li, now your team is going to start the development of our logistics system, so that consumers can intuitively see the real-time status of the goods they purchase, such as whether they are received, whether they are packed, whether they are loaded, whether they are sorted, whether they are delivered, etc."

Zhao Lizhi shook his head and said, "Mr. Fang, I don't think it's realistic to track this order, because our system can't determine the various statuses of orders, so we can't give feedback to consumers."

Fang Yi thought about how these logistics companies operated in the previous life, and said, " The current satellite positioning system is not yet open, but we can use a stable position to determine the status of these goods, for example, we pack, just use the scanner at the packing place to scan it, through the scanner to scan the goods, their status should be automatically changed to packed; to find or design a scanner suitable for our Century Logistics company"

Fang Yi today's meeting, will C shopping network and Century Logistics company recently encountered a centralized summary, centralized solution, with the deepening of the work, there will be more and more problems emerge, but we believe that today such a difficult few problems Fang Yi can discuss and solve with everyone, then the future Fang Yi can also lead them to eliminate difficulties, ride the wind and waves. Fang Yi didn't expect today's meeting at all, so that he gained some middle-level management fans.
