Two days had passed since the Mango-ME event, and Boss Ma hadn't heard any feedback about the poor capacity of the 500,000 machines, which made him quite surprised.
According to his plan, he wanted to judge the current logistics carrying capacity of Taobao based on the logistics situation of the 500,000 Mango-ME units. If it took five days to gradually digest these 500,000 units of Yanjing EMS, then he could get a basic data. The capacity that Yanjing EMS could distribute to Taobao was at most 100,000 pieces per day. With this data, he could naturally judge the upper limit of the entire Taobao business in Yanjing in the future. This data was equivalent to the life and death line of Taobao's logistics link.
He estimated that the daily carrying capacity of Yanjing EMS would be no more than 100,000 pieces. This carrying capacity was not only to meet the needs of Yanjing itself, but also to meet the needs of other areas around Yanjing. Therefore, the overall capacity that the postal service could provide to Yanjing would be even lower. However, as far as he knew, the Mango-ME was delivered by Taobao itself. It was reasonable to say that the carrying capacity of Yanjing EMS should have been bursting long ago. Why hadn't he heard anything about it?
Boss Ma looked for Sun Tongyu and asked him if he had received any news related to Mango-ME. Sun Tongyu shook his head. He was busy following Boss Ma's request and estimating the number of shipments in Shenzhen based on the pre-sale situation on Taobao, so he didn't pay attention to Yanjing. When Boss Ma called him over to ask, he also knew nothing about the situation in Yanjing.
Boss Ma was a little unhappy and said, "Tongyu, you can't just do one thing when I tell you to do one thing. You have to drive yourself to go further. When I tell you to do one thing, you not only have to do one thing, but you also have to think and even do two and three things. You can't need me to urge you to do everything. You have to always remember to drive yourself to go further."
Sun Tongyu nodded in shame and said, "I'm sorry, Boss Ma. I'll definitely pay more attention in the future!"
"Okay." Boss Ma nodded slightly. He was a leader who knew how to manage and use people well, so he didn't continue to blame Sun Tongyu for this problem. Instead, he asked him, "Tell me about the work you're doing."
Sun Tongyu said, "It's like this, Boss Ma. I've been following up on Taobao's summer holiday brand pre-sales. Through tracking the movements of every official store, I've basically obtained a figure with a deviation of less than 3%. Let me briefly explain to you.
After saying that, Sun Tongyu took out the document he had prepared before he came and said, "As of 10: 30 this morning, in the 38 hours since the Taobao pre-sale started, a total of 1.55 million pre-sale orders have been generated. Among them, companies in Shenzhen have received a total of 961,000 pre-sale orders, accounting for 62% of the total. Because there is not enough data in a single day, I can't estimate the pre-sale situation in detail for the time being. However, I conservatively estimate that the turnover will be around 6 million orders, or even higher, so the number of orders in Shenzhen should be around 4 million."
Boss Ma nodded and sighed. "The development of Taobao is really fast! With so many payment users cultivated by Alipay, he directly skipped the initial stage and entered the relatively mature intermediate stage. He can generate more than five or six million orders just by planning an event. This data is really scary. If we don't stop him, even if we control the logistics channels, I'm afraid we won't be his opponent. Once his huge order volume is exposed, I don't know how many people will focus on the logistics industry. "
Sun Tongyu also agreed and said, "The private capital will definitely realize the huge demand for the logistics industry caused by the development of e-commerce. If they pay attention to the amazing turnover of Taobao, they should immediately take action."
Boss Ma said, "Fortunately, the logistics system can't be built in a short time. Even if the private capital wants to do logistics, it has to be done step by step. It's difficult to meet the demand of Taobao in half a year or even a year. This stage is the most critical time for us. If we can do it during this time, everything will be fine. If we can't, once Taobao breaks out of the shackles, we may really not be able to do it anymore."
Then, Boss Ma changed the topic and said, "If the Taobao Brand Day can really generate four million orders in Shenzhen, then we will try our best to attack the logistics in Shenzhen. No matter what method we use, from the day of Taobao Brand Day, we must try our best to delay the express parcels in Shenzhen from leaving the city. We must delay the millions of orders in Shenzhen, and then delay the speed of express delivery in the whole province of Guangdong. Then, we will have the opportunity to drag down Taobao. At that time, not only the merchants of Taobao Brand Day will be affected, but also the sellers of Taobao in the whole province of Guangdong."
Sun Tongyu nodded and said, "If millions of orders can't be delivered, it means that millions of consumers will have resistance to Taobao, which will have a great impact on Taobao."
Boss Ma said again, "Think of a way to organize a team of Internet Water Army. At that time, we will also make a batch of orders from Taobao, specifically from the stores of enterprises in Shenzhen. Once the transportation capacity of Taobao is paralyzed, let the Internet Water Army launch an attack on the whole network."
Sun Tongyu said, "Okay, I will prepare for this later."
Boss Ma said, "Don't forget to inquire about the situation of Yanjing EMS these two days. How is the batch of Mango-MEs now?"
Sun Tongyu said, "Don't worry, Boss Ma. I will go check it now."
Boss Ma waved his hand in satisfaction and said, "Okay, go do your work."
Boss Ma wanted to see Makino Technology struggle with the logistics and transportation of Mango-MEs, so he really wanted to know the specific situation. However, he didn't know that Li Mu had already distributed 500,000 Mango-MEs through the six storage bases. What's more, the people in charge of the six storage bases had spent a lot of energy and money to communicate with the leaders of the local postal system. Therefore, the level of cooperation of the postal service was extremely high, and they were almost working overtime to help. Therefore, while Boss Ma was still waiting to see Taobao make a fool of itself, a considerable number of Mango-MEs had already been delivered to consumers.
The first batch of people who received the Mango-MEs were users in or around the six storage bases. The postal service began to sort the goods that night, and the local ones were sent to the business hall the next morning. In addition, the leaders had requested that orders for Taobao be delivered as soon as possible. Therefore, on the second day of the Seckill Day, some users had already received the machines. The speed was beyond imagination. At this time, several Tieba related to Taobao, Mango-ME, and Easy Listening Network had already been flooded with users who had received the goods. The content was the same. They were all praising, "The speed of Taobao is too f * cking fast! Can you imagine the speed of ordering tonight and receiving the goods the next day? "
Users who were slightly further away did not receive the goods on the second day. However, on the third day, users in provinces with better economies had basically received the goods. Although it was not as fast as receiving the goods the next day, the speed of receiving the goods the next day still surprised them. There was a wave of praise for Taobao on the Internet.
In fact, Boss Ma could have found this news if he paid attention to the Internet. However, he did not do so because he instinctively thought that most of the goods should still be stuck in Yanjing. The postal service's parcel handling capacity was very strong, and the base was also quite large. However, their efficiency was also very low. It was like a cargo ship with a heavy load and extremely slow speed. Its carrying capacity was unparalleled, but its speed was also appallingly slow.
After Sun Tongyu returned to his post, he immediately called his friends for help. He inquired about the parcel turnover situation of Yanjing EMS in the past two days. After tossing and turning, he finally got an unbelievable statement.
"There was nothing special about Yanjing EMS in the past two days. Two or three days ago, they received 100,000 parcels from Taobao. However, due to special circumstances, the staff of the EMS system worked overtime that night. Before dawn the next day, these parcels were all sent out from Yanjing."
Sun Tongyu was extremely surprised. 100,000 parcels? How was that possible? Taobao had clearly sold 500,000 units. Could it be that they falsified the data? That should not be the case. According to his understanding of the production volume of Mango-ME, it was impossible for Taobao to falsify the data. That was because they had 500,000 units of real products produced from the production line. How could it shrink when it came to the sales terminal? It was even more impossible for it to disappear into thin air.
Inferring from the production capacity and sales frequency, Sun Tongyu believed that the 500,000 units sold by Taobao on that day should be the real data. However, they only shipped 100,000 units. This data was too different. Sun Tongyu thought about it and there seemed to be only one possibility. That was, Taobao was quietly accumulating inventory, and the remaining 400,000 units were withheld by them for some reason.
Although this hypothesis could explain where the 400,000 units went, it did not make sense from a normal point of view. Why would a manufacturer take the initiative to withhold their goods? Unless it was a product with room for appreciation. However, how could the MP3 have any room for appreciation? It would drop by 20% almost every six months. Was Taobao seeking death by withholding the 400,000 units?
No matter how he thought about it, it didn't make sense. Sun Tongyu suddenly began to worry. He thought of a saying: there must be a reason for something abnormal. Although he couldn't figure out the reason, it was precisely because he couldn't figure it out that he subconsciously felt that there must be a conspiracy behind it.
Sun Tongyu immediately went online to search for information related to Mango-ME. Once he searched, a bunch of content related to Mango-ME that was recently included by Baidu immediately appeared.
When he read the content one by one, he felt like he was struck by lightning.
Why did users in Shanghai post that they received the goods at noon the next day? Shanghai was about 1,500 kilometers away from Beijing!
Why did users in Guangzhou also say that they received the goods at noon the next day? What kind of joke is this?! Guangzhou is more than 2,200 kilometers away from Beijing! When did EMS become so efficient?
