Sun Tongyu has a clear understanding of the current domestic logistics situation.
At present, no logistics company really takes high efficiency as its service purpose. Although EMS is the fastest express delivery service of the postal service, its efficiency can only be regarded as pretty good. If an express package is sent from Yanjing to Yangcheng, it will take a plane. The possibility is very slim. It is basically road transportation or railway transportation. Road transportation is the most likely. Generally speaking, the whole vehicle starts from Yanjing and travels more than 2,000 kilometers in the middle. Even if the driver only needs to refuel, eat and use the toilet Without stopping, it would take at least thirty hours to reach Yangcheng, but the time node Sun Tongyu saw was far less than this time!
He rummaged around and found that the earliest time when Yangcheng users received Mango-ME was at 10 a.m. on the second day of the flash sale.
This post was posted at 11am. The user ID is Qingfeng Xuxu. His post was posted on Taobao. The title is: "Holy shit! The speed of Taobao is incredible! I placed an order at 8pm last night and it was finished at 10am. received!"
In the text, Qingfeng slowly described the process of receiving the goods in detail: "Damn it, I arrived at the work at half past nine. I had just finished a meeting and was preparing to go out for an interview. The delivery room called me to say that there was a courier from me. I was still puzzled at that time. I I didn’t buy anything before, so why would there be my express delivery? When I got to the delivery room, I saw, damn, the express package and the receipt said Taobao. I thought it was a dream, but when I opened it, it turned out to be Mango- ME, I received the goods in just a dozen fucking hours, it’s so damn fast!”
Later, Qingfeng Xuxu also took a photo of her Mango-ME with a digital camera and uploaded it to the post. There was a work ID card in the photo, and the words "Yangcheng Evening News Press Card" could be vaguely seen on it. It seemed that Qingfeng Xuxu was a newspaper reporter. .
Below is a list of users’ responses: “Did Taobao specially hire a plane to deliver it to the poster?”
"The speed is too scary! You can't get there that fast by plane! I checked and found that the earliest flight from Yanjing to Yangcheng is at 7:30 in the morning, and it's already past 10 o'clock to land at the airport!"
“Taobao is really awesome!”
"I envy the poster. I also grabbed it last night, but I didn't get it. I have to wait until next time."
"Haha, you, the poster, are not as good as me. I am from Liaoshen, Northeast China. I received it at eight o'clock this morning. The people at the post office said that the first one was sent to me first. It only took twelve hours!"
Seeing this, Sun Tongyu was even more out of his mind. How could this be possible? You are in Liaoshen, and you received the goods within 12 hours of placing the order
Looking back, there are still surprises. Some Sichuandu netizens said that they had received the goods before nine o'clock in the morning. Sichuandu is more than 1,500 kilometers away from Yanjing, and the key is that the traffic is not smooth enough. The roads are difficult to walk on, even on highways, when passing through Qinling mountain roads and long and short tunnels.
Sun Tongyu racked his brains for a long time and concluded that it was impossible for Taobao to use all-air transportation because it was impossible for the postal service to achieve this. Therefore, this fundamentally denied one thing: these goods definitely did not ship from Yanjing. In the past, because there was simply not enough time.
The only possibility is that these goods are sent from other places...
When he thought of this, Sun Tongyu's mind buzzed, and he could vaguely grasp Taobao's operating mode in his mind.
The reason why users in Yangcheng were able to receive the goods the next morning must be because the delivery place was near or even in Yangcheng.
The reason why users in Shanghai, Sichuan, and Liaoshen were able to receive the goods in the morning must be the same.
Sun Tongyu recorded the names of these cities and couldn't help but admire in his heart, the people on Taobao are really so smart, how could they think of using this method to ship goods? Picking a few nails in a few cities in the southeast, northwest and northwest of the country will perfectly solve the problem of insufficient EMS transportation capacity and slow turnover efficiency? This is too awesome!
Hangzhou is very close to Shanghai. Sun Tongyu suddenly thought of several of his old classmates. He had more acquaintances in Shanghai than in Yanjing, so it would be easier to inquire about the situation.
After several phone calls, Sun Tongyu waited for about twenty minutes before receiving a call from one of his old classmates. The other party said on the phone: "Tongyu, I asked someone to inquire about the matter you asked me to investigate. The municipal EMS did receive a lot of express parcels from Taobao in the past two days, a total of 125,000, and these express parcels were all shipped locally in Shanghai."
When Sun Tongyu heard the news, he immediately realized that the situation was very bad, so he immediately got up and rushed to Boss Ma's office.
At this time, Boss Ma was communicating with the two most core executives about the launch of his C2C platform.
Lu Zhaoxi is mainly responsible for building the platform. Some time ago, Mr. Ma personally decided to buy the domain name and planned to use it to build a website called Letao. The website has already been developed, but because it involves the front-end and back-end systems, ordering systems and Inventory system, so it will take some time to go online, so he and Boss Ma checked the specific time node for the website to go online.
Cai Chongxin is mainly responsible for the integration of logistics resources and is prepared to choke Taobao at critical moments. Boss Ma also learned about some specific situations from him.
As for the payment channel project that Boss Ma is responsible for, Boss Ma also vented his anger with the two of them: "Li Mu's Alipay took advantage of the loophole at the beginning. The central bank did not realize that someone would engage in payment channels like this, so it was already taken advantage of by Li Mu before he could react. Yes, and Alipay only served 3321 at the beginning. It was a purely public welfare project, and the central bank was not allowed to interfere, so it allowed Alipay to develop like this. Now the central bank has warned the major banks not to open payment channels at will. Merchant interface, all interface applications must first be reviewed by the central bank.”
Cai Chongxin asked in surprise: "In that case, wouldn't it be difficult for us to build our own payment channel?"
Boss Ma smiled slightly: "It's not difficult, it's just not that easy. I have already figured out a way to make it work. It can still be opened up by finding some connections, but it will take some time and cost."
Lu Zhaoxi said: "Alipay started under the nose of the central bank. At first, it was only for charity. The central bank certainly didn't think much about it. But now it is getting bigger and bigger. Li Mu's ambition to spy on the entire Internet online payment has been exposed. , the central bank still hasn’t taken action to deal with him?”
Boss Ma said: "The central bank will not do such a thing. Now, if we take down Alipay, aren't we looking for scolding? Besides, all of Li Mu's industries are linked to Alipay. If the central bank wants to touch Alipay, will Mr. Chen behind it agree? Don't Forgetting where his father is, the central bank also wants to see his face. What's more, Li Mu's Taobao was mentioned in the internal reference in the last issue. It is said that the senior management personally gave instructions and believed that e-commerce will have great development in the future. Relevant departments are paying attention. How dare the central bank take down Alipay at this time? It can only suffer a loss and then find ways to block latecomers."
With that said, Boss Ma waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry. Although this matter is a bit troublesome, it can definitely be solved, and it won't be long after our platform goes online. Don't be affected and do what you should do." matter."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Boss Ma said, "Come in." Sun Tongyu immediately pushed the door open, looked at Boss Ma breathlessly, and said out of breath: "Mr. Ma, something... something is wrong... "
When Boss Ma saw Sun Tongyu's out-of-breath posture, he knew that he must have run all the way here and there must be something urgent, so he quickly said: "Don't be anxious first. Let's calm down before talking."
Sun Tongyu nodded repeatedly, and then took a few deep breaths to control his breathing rhythm. Then he swallowed dryly and said with a dejected face: "Taobao's 500,000 units of Mango-ME have already been shipped. , it is estimated that more than 80% of orders have been delivered now!"
As soon as these words came out, Boss Ma waved his hand vigorously and blurted out with great certainty: "Impossible! In two or three days, let alone how many deliveries were made, it would be incredible if 80% of this batch of goods could leave Yanjing. !”
Sun Tongyu hurriedly explained: "But Taobao didn't concentrate all the goods in Yanjing! They only shipped 100,000 units in Yanjing, and the other 400,000 units were all scattered. I searched many users' posts on the Internet, and statistics After checking their addresses and the time they received the express delivery, I found that users in the five cities of Shanghai, Yangcheng, Liaoshen, Sichuandu, and Hanjiang all received the goods on the morning of the second day of sale or even in the morning. I called I called my classmate in Shanghai to inquire, and he said that Shanghai EMS received 125,000 express packages from Taobao on the day of the Mango-ME flash sale, and they were all sent from Shanghai!"
Boss Ma had just confidently overturned the results of Sun Tongyu's feedback. But after hearing Sun Tongyu's words, he immediately lost his previous confidence and his expression suddenly became extremely complicated. He didn't speak for a long time, and so did Cai and Lu. You look at me and I look at you. Everyone heard the actual content of Sun Tongyu’s words. They all understood that Taobao distributed 500,000 machines to six cities for delivery. The two of them, like Sun Tongyu, had the same attitude towards Taobao. This method of the net was astonishing, and at the same time very depressing. I was originally thinking about how to block others, but suddenly I found that I had found a perfect way to cross Chencang secretly. I found six exits for myself at once. Whoever came up with this strategic solution is simply a genius...
No need to think about it, everyone knows that this plan must have been come up by Li Mu. Li Mu has long been recognized as a genius among geniuses. His brain is terrifying. Whenever he comes up with new tricks, his colleagues can't help but admire him. At the same time, I couldn't help but wonder in my heart whether I was a fool.
Boss Ma's expression was uncertain. After a long time, he slapped the table in annoyance and said angrily: "That's unreasonable! It's simply unreasonable! This guy Li Mu is really good at playing! We put the rope around his neck, so it's okay He can find a way to get around it!"
The new January starts with the outbreak. I stay up late and add another chapter. I just want to show my mood of working hard to break out this month. Then I ask everyone to vote for a monthly vote. Please don't dampen my hot blood and desperate enthusiasm.
