Chapter 209 Expansion of the Logistics System (seeking tickets)
As soon as today is over, Tongye Shopping Mall will have a large amount of cash flow, and the logistics system and warehousing and transshipment center will expand rapidly. Nothing is more important than this right now.

After the two of them sat down in the office, Ye Feng said to Liu Dongqiang: "Brother Qiang, the finance side will soon settle the money, and the logistics system will immediately enter the stage of rapid development. What should you do with the hundreds of millions of dollars you have planned?" Is it spent?"

Liu Dongqiang knew about today, so these two days have been excitedly thinking about how to carry out the work after the money arrives. Now that the money has finally arrived, Liu Dongqiang's mind-filled plan can finally be realized. He simply sorted it out and said: "Money The first thing to do after arriving is to fully expand and upgrade our seven major storage and transshipment centers, and upgrade them all into logistics distribution centers with extremely strong handling capacity;

The second thing is to immediately use the middle and high-level managers of the logistics companies we have poached, invest in the establishment of logistics business points across the country, form local teams, and fully undertake the delivery and receiving work;

The third thing is to establish a logistics transportation network. In addition to obtaining aviation resources as soon as possible, the most important thing is that we must immediately expand the size of our fleet. The land transportation conditions of the entire third tier are very good, and bulk logistics requires strong land roads. In addition, our local point-to-surface transportation also requires a large number of trucks. "

Ye Feng nodded, interrupted Liu Dongqiang temporarily, and said: "Let me interject first, the three things you mentioned are all important and urgent things, and the ranking should naturally be placed first, but I have one more important but not important thing. It's an urgent matter. Recently, you sent a qualified person to go abroad to investigate the solution of the logistics company's automatic sorting equipment. We may not be able to afford this system right now. The main reason is that we have limited funds and give priority to upgrading logistics efficiency, but This facility will be launched in the near future, and the automatic sorting equipment combined with our full information logistics management system will be able to create a truly high-speed and efficient logistics.”

Liu Dongqiang immediately said: "I have known this before. The most advanced solution now comes from Bermann Machinery in Germany. The solution cost of a logistics distribution center is about 9000 to [-] million. If it is a super-large distribution center, the cost will be even higher. However, there are not many such systems in China for the time being, and the postal boss still uses an outdated sorting system, and the efficiency is not very high."

Hearing what Liu Dongqiang said, Ye Feng knew that he had been paying attention to this situation for a long time. He nodded with great satisfaction and said, "Then send someone to Berman, Germany to investigate. We need to understand the operation mode and efficiency of the whole system. , but also to understand its unit cost. If it is possible to sort [-] packages a day, how much does it cost, and how much does it cost to have [-] packages? Do a systematic investigation, and then we can judge when to use this package according to our actual situation. A system is more appropriate."

Liu Dongqiang nodded and said: "This system is indeed very important, but I think we should not consider launching it in the first two years. The cost is too high. If sorting centers in our logistics distribution centers are established, at least manpower and conveyor belt sorting can be achieved. After a few years, domestic logistics will not develop to such a high demand within two or three years."

Ye Feng smiled slightly: "Whether this system is needed or not depends not only on the future development of Tongye Shopping Mall and the demand for market capacity, but also on our capital operation. If the funds are sufficient, this kind of cost must be invested, sooner or later. , or the sooner you invest, the better."

Liu Dongqiang agreed: "That's right, it depends on how you plan your capital operation."

"Don't worry, I know it well." Ye Feng smiled slightly, and said: "Also, as you mentioned just now, land transportation is really important for the preparation of the logistics transportation network. Small and medium-sized vans, these two will be the top priority of our next bulk purchases, especially heavy-duty trucks, each of which carries tens of tons of express logistics and travels hundreds or even thousands of kilometers. , The quality of the car must be extremely reliable, otherwise a car lying on the way may affect the delivery timeliness of tens of thousands of people."

Liu Dongqiang said to Ye Feng: "I have learned about this. The key to heavy trucks is the tractor. The requirements for transportation in plain areas are not very high. Brands such as Dongfeng, FAW, and Steyr can do it. We need at least one truck in the first stage. Fifty such heavy-duty trucks, the overall investment is about 2000 million yuan."

Ye Feng waved his hand: "Heavy-duty tractors must not save money. In the future, all our heavy-duty tractors will drive at least 90-800 kilometers per day with an average monthly output rate of more than 1000%. To ensure timeliness and stability, we need More reliable tractors are used to complete these tasks, so my request is to use good quality tractors. If the domestic market is good, purchase domestic ones, and if foreign countries are good, purchase foreign ones. If there is not much difference between the two, purchase first. Domestic ones can be regarded as contributing to the domestic manufacturing industry, it’s not a problem if it’s 50% or even 100% expensive, the key is stability, stability, stability!”

Liu Dongqiang thought for a while, then nodded and said: "I have also learned about imported tractors. The better truck brands are generally Europe and Japan. In Europe, there are Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Iveco, and Scania. In Japan, there are Isuzu and Hino. The European ones are more expensive, and the domestic ones I have to actually check.”

Ye Feng nodded: "Just buy domestic or European heavy-duty trucks. I agree with the Japanese for other things, but I personally don't trust them for heavy-duty trucks."

Liu Dongqiang said: "Then I will ask my subordinates to go and investigate. First, I will contact the domestic general distributors of several heavy truck brands in Europe. I will go to the domestic ones in person."

Ye Feng said: "OK, don't save money in this link. Iveco can be removed from the European heavy truck brands you just mentioned, and Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, and Scania can be purchased first. Sometimes the research data is not as good as our own. Using the accumulated data, let our drivers judge which brand of vehicle is more suitable in actual use. This involves not only the performance and handling of the car, but also the failure rate and the convenience of later maintenance. When we really find the most suitable brand for us in our use, then we will increase our purchases later.”

Liu Dongqiang said, "OK, I'll arrange it."

Ye Feng went on to say: "In the first stage, I am afraid that at least several hundred small and medium-sized vans will be needed. This is probably a big order no matter how we cooperate with any car company, and our core demand for this kind of vehicle is not In terms of load, but in terms of stability, lightness, speed, and easy maintenance in the later period, I suggest you send someone to talk to Jinling Iveco. I personally feel that Iveco’s light passenger cars and light trucks are very suitable for use. Do point-to-point transportation."

Liu Dongqiang said with a smile: "You still know so much about trucks? Jinling Iveco, this is also a contribution to domestic enterprises."

Ye Feng smiled. He didn't mean to make contributions purely for domestic enterprises, but because in his memory, most of the black SF Express vehicles traveling through the city were Iveco, and the red Jingdong Transport vehicles also traveling on urban roads The car is basically completed by Iveco.

These two companies, one is the largest express logistics company in the country, and the other is the largest B2C e-commerce in-house logistics system in the country. The two logistics systems both use Iveco vehicles as solutions at the end of logistics and transportation, which proves that Iveco must It is one of the most suitable solutions. There are many suitable solutions, but since there are predecessors who have found out the way for me, why should I go to search for a new direction?

After talking about Iveco, Ye Feng said again: "By the way, Brother Qiang, let the people under him find a suitable motorcycle manufacturer and order [-] motor tricycles. The requirements for motor tricycles are that they must have sufficient power and battery life. Add a unified cargo box and front windshield to the motor tricycle, and like our heavy trucks, small and medium trucks, they must be uniformly painted."

Liu Dongqiang looked at Ye Feng in surprise, and asked him: "Ten thousand motor tricycles? Do you want to use motor tricycles to solve the last step?"

Ye Feng nodded, talking about terminal delivery, in fact, in Ye Feng's mind, motorized tricycles are the real overlord of terminal delivery!
At present, the express delivery rarely uses gasoline-powered tricycles for the final delivery. Small express delivery is basically bicycles and motorcycles, and large goods are basically light trucks. The latter has low turnover efficiency, and sometimes it takes half an hour to drive into a congested and narrow community and cannot get out. Motorized tricycles with small cargo boxes are the best solution.

After the rapid development of the express delivery business and the proficiency of the industry's operating methods in the future, the postal, SF Express, Shentong, Zhongtong, JD.com and other express delivery systems will solve the last step of logistics by sending people + motor tricycles. This will take more than ten years. The best solution summed up by hundreds of logistics companies, the logistics industry has not yet developed, and motorized tricycles have not yet emerged in the express delivery industry, so let's make a debut in your own logistics system first!
Liu Dongqiang can understand why Ye Feng needs [-] motorized tricycles, and he can also see the huge advantages of motorized tricycles, but when Ye Feng mentioned that manufacturers are required to carry out uniform painting, he couldn't help asking Ye Feng: "After talking for a long time, we What is the name of your self-built logistics?"

When it comes to self-built logistics brands, Ye Feng really doesn't have a good solution for a while.

Although the company has been registered long ago, the registered company name is Tongye Shopping Mall, which is under the Maple Leaf Technology Group, but Ye Feng has never taken the time to think about what brand the logistics will be launched in the future.

In logistics, the most perfunctory way of naming is all kinds of "Tong" and "Da". The homonym of Shunfeng is Shunfeng. If it is not because it is so big and forceful, the name is actually the same.

Ye Feng was suddenly stopped by Liu Dongqiang's question, and he held his chin to think about a famous brand. Not only must it be famous in China, but it must also be famous or easy to understand when it enters the international logistics market in the future.

After pondering for a long time, there was no result, while Liu Dongqiang clapped his fingers and said a lot of names to Ye Feng, such as "Tong", "Da", and "Speed", all of which were mediocre and unattractive.

Oh, by the way, Jingdong Express (Jingdong Logistics), Yuanfang Express, and the unified logo Ye Feng was so busy that he forgot all of them.

Ye Feng said with a smile: "It's called Tongye Logistics. In the future, heavy trucks, light trucks, and motor tricycles running on highways, national highways, urban roads, and streets and alleys will all have a uniform painting: Tongye Logistics itself is responsible for Tongye Logistics. Leaf shopping mall is also a huge publicity effect!"



"The Chinese name is Tongye Logistics, and the English name is Tongye Logistics!"

Liu Dongqiang smiled and said, "Then it's settled?"

"Okay, that's it!" Ye Feng didn't think about it. Although the logistics company and Tongye Shopping Mall are the main body of the company, brand interoperability is the best solution. Tongye Shopping Mall and Tongye Logistics can give each other brands. And the popularity brings a blessing effect. Think about the red background and white "Jingdong dog" that will be everywhere in the future. How much brand publicity will it bring to JD.com?It's a fucking bunker!
After deciding on the brand name, Ye Feng said to Liu Dongqiang: "Brother Qiang, logistics is extremely important to us. If it is done well and strengthened, it will not only solve our logistics efficiency, but also bring more benefits to our Tongye shopping mall." The huge auxiliary effect can help Tongye Shopping Mall surpass all competitors in terms of hardware, so it needs to pay more attention, it is best to catch it from the beginning to the end."

Liu Dongqiang nodded: "Don't worry, this is our top priority, I have a plan in my heart."

Ye Feng said: "The logistics system is an asset-heavy project, with huge capital investment and many procurement links before and after. You must also ensure that the team is clean. Internal anti-corruption is more important than anything else. We are willing to give our employees and middle and senior leaders far The salary exceeds the industry, but they must concentrate on doing things. If they seek profit for themselves in a way that harms the company's interests, they must be determined to the end. If the amount is too large, it will be directly handed over to the public security department. There’s not enough money to fill it in.”

Liu Dongqiang also nodded very seriously and said: "Don't worry about this, I personally hate this kind of person very much, I will set up a special internal investigation department, and every external transaction will be carefully evaluated and investigated to ensure that the team is clean and honest. "

Ye Feng stretched his waist: "With you here, I will definitely feel at ease."

After speaking, Ye Feng stood up and moved a few times, and said to Liu Dongqiang: "It's past two o'clock, I'll go back to rest first, don't be too late, the pre-sale data is already in your hand, so don't stare at it anymore Now that you have more important things to do next, hurry up and recharge your batteries."

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I need to remind."

Liu Dongqiang frowned slightly and asked, "What's the matter?"

Ye Feng said: "It's the first one billion loan. It was agreed to be paid off within five years, and the first year will arrive soon. Don't forget the stipulated repayment amount and interest. This money must be set aside in advance."
