although William came to China without any official Beijing, but the public's attention is no less than that of a state visit by a foreign leader.

The next day, Li Mu took William to visit the Taobao network, as well as the Taobao Logistics storage center and logistics distribution center in Yanjing.

although William was shocked by the Taobao storage center and logistics distribution center.

Brother Liu has put all its energy into the optimization and improvement of logistics system during this time. Now, the fleet size of Taobao Logistics, the belly warehouse resources and the automatic sorting system all over the country are in a period of rapid growth.

In addition to the rapid development of the Taobao network business, there are more and more domestic Online shopping users, so the entire Taobao Logistics has a huge order volume, of which one third is Taobao self-operated or Taobao warehousing and delivery, the rest Two-thirds of them are shipped by C2C sellers.

The huge amount of order support has provided strong support for the development of the entire Taobao Logistics. Therefore, the storage center of Brother Liu has been continuously expanded, and the distribution center has also been continuously expanded. Three stages were added to Germany a total of 15 automatic points The orders for system will be delivered to cities in Guangdong, Zhejiang and Shanghai in the future.

When William came to the Yanjing distribution center sorting center, he was completely stunned by the Hyundai / modern logistics scene in front of him.

A large number of packages are unpacked, sorted, and repackaged here, and then with the help of the logistics management system developed by Muye Science and Technology for Taobao Logistics, each included status is recorded and updated in real time.

Williameye ’s innumerable packages looks at quickly shuttled on the belt conveyor, and said to Li Mu in amazement: “I feel like I have arrived more than a decade later. I always feel that this advanced and efficient logistics method is not the current one. The product of the times ... "

Li Mu said with a smile: "Most of the equipment you see is made in Germany. This equipment was already available in Germany before 2000. In fact, it is not a very great thing. The reason why it is not very fast is The main reason for global promotion is that the vast majority of countries currently do not have such a large demand for small pieces of logistics capacity, and the requirements for efficiency are not so high. The reason why we need to use such equipment and develop automation to the extreme The most critical reason is that our demand for small pieces of logistics capacity is too large, and the efficiency requirements are too high to exceed any country in the world. "

The words of Li Mu are not credible, Taobao Logistics now carries the daily Online shopping transportation of China tens of millions of Online shopping users, the order volume is basically close to the state of Taobao in 2008-2010, this data is very terrible, it means that the demand growth rate has been It was five or six years ahead of schedule, which forced the solution to the demand to be five or six years ahead.

In view of the current global electronic Business retail market, no country can match the current Taobao. Except for China, the largest online retail market is the United States, but the order volume is not as good as a quarter of China. .

Moreover, American Electronics Business is very strange, that is, regardless of platform, seller or buyer, the requirements for logistics efficiency are very strong.

Even ten years later, the logistics efficiency of China Electronics Business is still far ahead of the world. Logistics companies like Shunfeng can already deliver 24 hours between most cities in the country. The United States is simply unimaginable, and the Europeans are even more incomprehensible.

Sure enough, William did n’t quite understand the explanation of Li Mu's, and asked: "Chief Li, is the efficiency of this small piece of logistics so important? China is so big, I think two-day delivery and four-day delivery are actually not. What a big difference, but in order to achieve the two-day delivery, it requires a lot of capital and manpower and material resources, which will cause a great waste of resources? "

Li Mu smiled and said: "China is a country that is developing at a high speed. Do you know what the countries that are developing at a high speed are most afraid of wasting?"

William asked tentatively: "Resources? Money? Or labor?"

"Nothing." Li Mu shook his head and smiled: "It's time."

Finally, Li Mu said: "You see, Japan, Germany, and France all have their own high-speed railway technology. The average train speed is about 100 kilometers per hour, but the high-speed railway can reach more than 200 or even 300. Km per hour, when the train travels to more than two hundred kilometers, the air resistance will increase the huge energy consumption, for example, the distance is also 500 kilometers. The ordinary railway takes five hours, but the energy consumption is only high-speed railway. One-third of the time, but the high-speed railway takes only one hour and forty minutes, and the energy consumption is three times that of the ordinary railway. However, I believe that the latter is obviously more suitable for the future China, because we have to compete for time. "

William nodded inexplicably, but in fact, he could not understand Li Mu's extreme pursuit of efficiency.

The pace of life of Europeans is far less than that of China Yanjing. The rhythm requirements of many infrastructures or services in Europe are not as perverted as Li Mu. The starting point for Li Mu to create Taobao Logistics is not to say that it leads the world in scale, but at least It leads the world in efficiency. There is no logistics company in the world that can compete with Taobao Logistics in efficiency.

Li Mu said to William: "William, you know why the United States created internet, but only China can compete with them, while Europe, which is also economically developed, and Japan & South Korea, have failed to make a difference on the internet stage. ? "

William shook his head gently: "To be honest, Mr. Li, I do n’t know much about internet, so I do n’t understand what you said."

Li Mu laughed: "It doesn't matter, let me tell you. Since the Hyundai / modern has been in the past two hundred years, China people have become accustomed to catching up with things because of the backwardness of the country. Western countries spend hundreds of years to pave the industry Revolution, China took only a few decades, and the overall process of Hyundai / modern construction although still has a gap with the West, but we have used 4-5 for ten years to catch up with the gap in the West for more than 100 years, and this gap is still narrowing. This is precisely because of our national character of "chasing". "

Speaking of this, Li Mu sighed: "You look at our internet, which only started at the end of the last century, but the steps are all in one hundred flowers. We have a large number of young people who have gone to the West to choose to go back to China and start business in the West. The business model is inconsistent. Take my own. If I have no extreme pursuit of efficiency, then Muye Science and Technology may only have one YY, and it is still being hit by MSN of Microsoft. Taobao network may also be controlled by Amazon and eBay. It ’s a pinch, so we have to think about it, and quickly find a breakthrough and sprint, which is why we can board the international stage of the internet industry after the United States. "

previous life, the only country that really followed the United States to seize the rising tide of internet, only China.

The entire Europe and Japan & South Korea have perfectly missed the huge opportunity for the rise of internet. This aspect stems from their obedience and acceptance of the US internet market, and it also stems from their own neglect of efficiency.

And the first generation of China internet people are really amazing. They have been exposed to internet and First Day, as if they were beaten with chicken blood, they worked hard to start a business. It took a few years to walk through other countries for more than ten years. After the end of the road, even if there is no Li Mu, China internet will still emerge a large number of cattle, a large number of innovative product models, a large number of large companies listed in the United States and Hong Kong.

Like the China high-speed rail, from the completion of the first high-speed rail to the total mileage of the high-speed rail surpassing the sum of other countries in the world, the time shared by China has not yet reached ten years. This is the pinnacle of the nation's "catch-up" skills.

After that, Li Mu took William to visit the storage center next to the distribution center. The huge storage center gave William a strong shock again.

Today, Taobao warehousing can only be informatized, and cannot be automated, but even so, the combination of shelves that are more than ten meters high and 7-8 is frequently struck by William.

The operation mode adopted at the current stage of Taobao warehousing is the warehouse software with modular shelf management.

For example, a single warehouse has a total of 20 shelves from A to T. Each shelf is divided into 8 layers in the longitudinal direction and 20 shelves in the horizontal direction. Each shelf has the same volume and size, and each shelf stores the same type or the same type. Branded products.

In this way, the goods have clear coordinate information on the shelves. For example, the edible oil is in A515, A represents the A row of shelves, 5 represents the fifth floor, and 15 represents the 15th grid.

The information of A515 is recorded in the warehouse software. When there is an edible oil storage warehouse, system will instruct the warehouse staff to put the product into the warehouse to A515, and when there is an order to edible oil out of the warehouse At that time, system will also instruct the library staff to pick up the goods at A515.

If it is a fully automated warehousing, the goods can be stored in A515 or picked up from A515, which can be completed automatically, but at this stage, there is no automation equipment in the world that can fully meet the needs of Taobao Logistics. Germany is also in trial production. At this stage, at present, the warehousing in and out of the warehouse also uses a semi-automatic way.

The so-called semi-automation is that there is a track in the middle of every two shelves, and two elevators are used in front of and behind the track. For example, there is a track in the A and B rows of shelves, there is one elevator at each end, and one is responsible for 1- 10 grids, another one is responsible for 11-20 grids, and each elevator can lift from one floor to eight floors.

The lift is manually controlled. When the A515 picks up the goods, the driver of the second lift at the back end directly enters the position of the A515, the lift will rise to the height of the fifth floor and come to the front of the 15th grid, after precise positioning , And then pick up the goods manually.

However, even if it has not been fully automated, this efficiency is already surprisingly high. A large number of elevators are running back and forth on the track, ups and downs, take out all kinds of goods, and then transport them to the conveyor belt at both ends of the shelf, and then Order packing and sorting by other staff is much more efficient than pure manual.

William stood under the huge elevator, and the looks at operator was constantly busy, exclaiming: "The scene in front of me is like watching a science fiction movie, it is incredible ..."

Li Mu said with a smile: "Trust me, you will come back in two years, the changes here will be more than you think!"
