Chapter 1004 Warehousing and Logistics Center
There was a huge group of people, about thirty or forty people, from more than twenty large and small investment companies, all present.
After the long journey, Su Yang arranged for everyone to have a meal first.
Among this group of people, there are Chinese people, foreigners, some like to drink white wine and cannot live without it, some don’t drink at all, some like to drink red wine, and some even like rice wine...
In fact, there are all kinds of people who invest.
A successful investment is like being lifted to the altar, while a failed investment is like falling from the clouds.
They may have insights, analytical abilities, and the ability to judge and bargain that ordinary people do not have, but sometimes, they are just ordinary people.
As long as one is human, he or she will make mistakes. No brilliant entrepreneur or investor needs to be deified. They also make mistakes and are flesh and blood beings.
They may even make mistakes that are difficult for ordinary people to understand, or even worse, lose their ability to take care of themselves...
Ge Weimin took Su Yang to each table to toast. Even if they didn't drink, they had to meet and talk to them.
These people met Su Yang for the first time, so naturally they didn't know him very well. But when it came to Jitu Express, a rapidly rising express delivery company, they were very familiar with it.
As for the logistics industry, especially Su Yang who proposed the pioneering concepts of smart logistics and Internet logistics, they came from afar and still felt that it was worth seeing.
William from Goldman Sachs pulled Su Yang and said with a smile: "Su, you know, we would rather visit Jitu Express than have a meal."
"I heard that you have built a new storage and logistics center. Can you tell us about it?"
"Mr. Ge mentioned it on the way, but we always feel that it would be more accurate if you describe it!"
Su Yang smiled and said, "At present, Jitu Express is still in the early stages of development. In the future, we will build at least 20 warehousing and logistics centers like Jiangcheng!"
"The booming e-commerce, Taobao and Dongdong Mall, as well as Dangdang, Suning.com, and Vipshop, which was just established last year, indicate that in the future, traditional shopping methods will be greatly impacted!"
"The original chain from factory to provincial agent to distributor, wholesaler, store to consumer will cut out a lot of complicated steps due to the emergence of e-commerce!"
"This means that consumers' consumption scenarios will change!"
As Su Yang was speaking, Li Guanhua, Sun Ming, and a group of people beside him all looked over.
Sun Ming smiled and said, "Mr. Su is right. We have also made a lot of investments in e-commerce, but what does this have to do with Jitu Express?"
Su Yang smiled: "Express delivery is the best companion enterprise for e-commerce. I proposed Internet logistics to break the traditional concept of express delivery and turn it into a managed warehousing and logistics management method for directly-operated stores!"
“Imagine that in a few years, an e-commerce company can prepare inventory in advance and put it in Jitu Express’ warehouse based on big data analysis of the previous quarter before starting promotions or even daily sales.”
"With the start of promotions and daily sales, we synchronize data and dispatch goods from the warehouse closest to the customer and deliver them to the customer the moment the customer places an order!"
“This model will greatly solve the problem of long delivery times after users place orders on e-commerce platforms!”
“If we have enough funds, we can use drones, driverless cars, or even dark warehouses to deliver the goods we sell the next day, or even the same day!”
After Su Yang finished speaking, everyone at the scene fell silent.
These things were realized more than a decade later and even became well-known to this group of investors on the front line in 2009.
Still brought a lot of shock and impact...
Li Guanhua frowned: "But if this is the case, the logistics cost will increase greatly, and timeliness means higher costs."
“Can the range of average customer spending that users can accept cover the investment and costs after the logistics system is established?”
Su Yang smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Li has a lot of knowledge about the logistics industry."
"All I can say is, give the choice to consumers."
"Low price, slow delivery, high price, fast delivery, and even in the future, we can set up a cargo airline to ensure the timeliness of delivery."
In fact, it was this year, 2009, that SF Express purchased its first cargo plane and opened a route from Shenzhen to Hangzhou.
Prior to this, SF Express also contracted multiple flight routes at a low price to transport express deliveries.
Li Guanhua nodded. He was not sure about Su Yang's answer, but he did not object either.
According to their predictions, low prices will still be the main force in the market in the future, and a large number of people can accept relatively poor services because of the low prices.
However, this group also has a demand for an efficient and fast logistics system.
The two sides complement each other and make up for each other's shortcomings.
Su Yang smiled slightly: "I am just talking now, since all the investors have come to Jiangcheng, why don't you go to our logistics center for a walk."
"Let's take a look at the differences between our new business model of Jitu Express warehousing and traditional logistics companies."
The group of people had almost everything they ate and drank. Although they were tired from the long journey, after Su Yang's promotion, they were still curious about Jitu Express.
In-depth understanding of a company and what you see with your own eyes are more convincing than empty words.
After Su Yang's organization, a group of people put down their luggage, left the Hyatt Hotel, and went straight to the new headquarters of Jitu Express.
Jitu Express’ new headquarters is just opposite Songjiang Shengshi City.
This place was originally a shantytown and was part of Tiegong Community and Tiebei Community.
Later, part of it became Songjiang Shengshi City.
The remaining part was sold to Jitu Express and became a logistics distribution center and the new headquarters of Jitu Express.
More than a dozen cars stopped outside a building.
This building has about 20 floors. Although it is not so tall that it reaches the sky, the four big red words "Jitu Express" hanging on it are quite imposing.
At the back is a huge square, which is actually a parking lot for storing vehicles.
Inside, surrounded by a group of factory buildings, the factory area has two floors. The first floor is responsible for receiving and sorting goods, and the second floor is responsible for some daily offices of the distribution center.
The building is responsible for customer complaint services, as well as investment, planning, personnel, and financial work for Jitu Express across the country.
Outside the door, He Rongfa had already arrived and, along with a group of senior executives from Jitu Express, extended a warm welcome to these investors.
At the same time, the door of the workshop was opened and the workers were asked to change into Jitu Express work clothes.
