In the small conference room.
While the others were busy, Li Dong was not idling around.
At this moment, Li Dong was in the midst of a video conference.
On the screen, Yuan Chengdao, Sun Tao, Chen Lang, Tan Haiying, and the rest appeared.
At this moment, Yuan Chengdao was reporting, "It's almost certain that we will surpass Ali in this promotion.
Today, the couriers are making things difficult for us at this juncture, and the timing is just right.
Although Ali is unwilling, I heard that they held a few meetings in the afternoon for tonight's promotion, and these couriers are temporarily appeased.
But from what I know, Ali's subsidy for each order has increased to RMB 3.
At this moment, Ali does not dare to share these expenses with the merchants, and they can only bear it themselves.
In a short while, there are tens of millions of expenses, and Yahoo and Softbank are at their limits.
In the past, I felt that outsourcing logistics can save a lot of expenses. But at this moment, I have to say that it's still better to have our own company. "
If Ali's own logistics could satisfy the demand, there would be no need for them to compromise.
But on the day before November 11th, the couriers were making things difficult for them.
Unless Ma Yun gritted his teeth and gave up on November 11th, he could only appease and compromise no matter how much he hated them.
Furthermore, this expense could be borne by the merchants in the past and passed on to the consumers. But not now.
Right now, their opponents were stronger than them, and it would be worse if they passed on the expenses.
But compromise also meant that the expenses would increase, and the shareholders would be even more dissatisfied.
The series of problems caused the atmosphere in Ali to be uneasy.
Li Dong smiled and said, "The timing of these few families is quite good. However, we still have to be careful of Old Ma's revenge if we add insult to injury at this time. When Ali's side stabilizes, Old Ma will definitely take revenge on them. "
"That's a matter for the future. Furthermore, these few companies are not really worried. After all, looking at the current situation, Taobao's future is hard to predict."
Li Dong sneered. "Regardless of whether Taobao has a future, or if we take over them, I don't dare to use these few companies. Stabbing him in the back at a critical moment. Leave such a partner to someone else. "
The others all looked at him with strange gazes.
They didn't believe that Li Dong wasn't involved.
Now that Li Dong had pushed for this matter, and then said that he would not accept them in the future, why did it feel like he was getting rid of the donkey after it had outlived its usefulness?
Although they thought about it, no one mentioned it.
In fact, they didn't know if Li Dong had pushed for this.
Most of the time, Li Dong arranged things through his own team. Even Yuan Chengdao wasn't clear about it.
Li Dong didn't care what they thought and continued, "Currently, all the arrangements are in place. However, there was one point that no one had mentioned. I don't know if you've forgotten, or if you think there's no need to mention it. "
Everyone was puzzled. What else was there that they hadn't prepared?
Li Dong continued, "Currently, our warehouse, e-commerce warehouse, and offline warehouse are all full.
There was a lot of inventory!
But even so, it's only enough to support less than 50 billion worth of orders.
If we add in our cooperation system, it's still possible to reach 60 billion worth of orders.
Don't forget, other than the online system, we still have our offline stores. These stores themselves have a lot of sales.
On November 11th, many of our products have integrated online and offline, and the pricing system is the same.
This also means that there might be a huge increase in offline sales.
In the end, if there's a shortage of inventory, have you thought about how to solve it? "
When he said this, everyone had a strange look in their eyes.
Are you really planning to go for 100 billion?
To be honest, even now, everyone was certain that 100 billion was impossible.
Far away, if there were too many inventory, there would be losses.
The loss rate in the supermarkets was not low either. It was usually above 0.3%. Especially with a large amount of inventory now, the loss rate might be higher.
With so many stocks, it would be bad if they couldn't sell them.
Some goods could be kept and sold slowly, and some could be returned to the manufacturer. But some products could not be returned.
In addition, some products had a short shelf life. If they stocked up too much, there might be a huge loss in the end.
Therefore, no one mentioned this matter much.
Or rather, everyone knew about it, but they did not think that the existing inventory would not be able to meet the demand.
Li Dong ignored them and said, "Our warehouses are full now. We can't increase our inventory even if we want to.
So, I've talked to some manufacturers.
When the time comes, we will transfer the goods from their warehouses, and our personnel will be stationed in their warehouses.
Hence, we have to make preparations.
Of course, I hope that this situation will happen. If it doesn't happen, then our own system will be enough.
Once this happens, we will get the major manufacturers to support us immediately.
It's better to be prepared than not to be prepared at all. I don't think 100 billion is an impossible goal. "
Since Li Dong had talked to them, Yuan Chengdao nodded and said, "We will contact them later."
The possibility of this happening was not high, but Li Dong felt that it was possible. The manufacturers had agreed. Far away, they just needed to arrange more personnel to prepare.
After discussing for a while, Li Dong switched off his computer.
Then, Li Dong made a few more phone calls.
It was not until almost ten o 'clock in the evening that Li Dong finished his work.
…
At eleven o 'clock in the evening, Li Dong and his team arrived at a Far away express delivery point in the Bincheng District.
There were many people in the team!
Because it was at night, the security guards had added a lot of people to strengthen the protection work. In addition to the other entourage and filming personnel, there were more than twenty people.
When Li Dong and his team arrived, the staff at the delivery point were dumbfounded.
This matter was not notified beforehand. The people at the delivery point did not know that Li Dong would come here.
They knew that Li Dong was participating in the delivery in Bincheng, but they did not expect that Li Dong would choose to participate in the delivery here.
Seeing that Li Dong had arrived, the store manager quickly came out.
At this time, the young store manager was at a loss and did not know what to say.
A deputy manager of Bincheng Logistics who was following the team quickly said, "Store Manager Zhang, General Manager Li will be here tonight to participate in the delivery work. Next, you must …"
Before he could finish, Li Dong interrupted, "You guys do what you need to do. Don't worry about me. I'll handle the small items that are close by. I won't be able to move the large items. In short, the items that are handed to me have to be close, small, and light … Once the delivery truck arrives, we'll start working immediately. This will demonstrate our efficiency and strength. Of course, it's fine if you can give me something that looks large and light, so that my solo show will be fuller … "
As soon as Li Dong finished speaking, many people beside him snickered.
The boss was really direct!
Li Dong did not care about this. He smiled and said, "I said before that this is a show. There's nothing to deny about this. I can't accompany everyone to deliver packages every day. The main meaning is the same. Let's not talk about this now. Prepare a set of work clothes for me. Change and get ready to start work! "
Naturally, Li Dong's work clothes had already been prepared. Without waiting for the dumbfounded store manager to prepare, the staff next to him quickly brought a new set of work clothes.
When Li Dong entered the store and began to change, some people at the scene came back to their senses.
At the delivery point, all the couriers were on standby.
In the crowd, someone could not help but ask, "Is this the big boss?"
"It's the big boss. I didn't expect him to come here."
"Then, will we be on TV later? Look, there are so many people filming! "
"…"
At the periphery of the crowd, not only had Fang Yuan's team arrived, but before long, a lot of media vehicles had also arrived.
Everyone knew that Li Dong was going to participate in the delivery in Bincheng.
Previously, they did not know where he was going, but the media reporters did not relax and kept an eye on him near the hotel.
As Li Dong's convoy stopped here, a large number of media reporters quickly chased after him.
Li Dong was a hot topic to begin with. This time, the outside world was discussing how long he could last. Many people even began to bet.
At this time, the media naturally would not let go of this opportunity.
When Li Dong changed into his work clothes and came out of the store, a large crowd had already gathered outside.
Li Dong had already expected this. When he went out, he said, "You can follow and film, but don't interfere with my work. Especially at the beginning, I won't accept any interviews or questions. But everyone has a good eye. When I'm tired, you can come out and ask a few questions. Let me rest for a while. This way, I won't be considered slacking off, understand? "
Many media reporters who came into contact with Li Dong for the first time did not know whether to laugh or cry. However, there were also many reporters in the crowd who were not locals of Bincheng and had rushed over from other places.
Among them was the media from Pingchuan. When they heard this, they immediately smiled and said, "General Manager Li, don't worry. I won't delay your work. If you're tired, I'll immediately stop you and interview you!"
Li Dong chuckled and said, "That's fine."
After chatting with the reporters for a while, Li Dong conversed with the employees at the distribution point.
The employees were both excited and nervous. All of them were very restrained.
When Li Dong asked if there were any times when they were dissatisfied with working overtime in the middle of the night …
In the crowd, a delivery man in his early thirties quickly said, "Satisfied, I'm really satisfied.
These few days, not only have our basic salary doubled, but our commission has also increased quite a bit.
"It's already more comfortable for us to deliver packages than people from other companies. It's so cold outside, so the company gave us electric tricycles with canopies and windshields.
"In Bincheng, it's not like we don't know the situation of other companies.
"Which company is like us?
"A few days ago, they gave us warm clothes and shoes. I can't bear to wear them.
"This time, everyone hopes to get more orders. One Double 11 can earn a few months' salary for others.
"It's almost the New Year, we can also have a good New Year …"
When Li Dong heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "If I didn't know better, I would think that you were hired. To be honest, I really didn't arrange for anyone to be hired. "It's good that you're satisfied. Everyone, pay attention to your safety. "Making money is important, but safety is more important. "Later, we'll arrange for someone to be my guide. I'm not familiar with the roads in this neighborhood. Tonight, in three hours, we'll deliver 100 orders to everyone. Far away efficiency!"
…
As Li Dong chatted with everyone, time passed bit by bit.
At 11: 50 PM, Li Dong stopped chatting.
Looking at the time, Li Dong said, "How long will it take for the sorting center to deliver the goods here?"
Immediately, someone said, "In the past, it would take more than half an hour. Today, we've informed them in advance. If there are packages nearby, they'll be sorted and delivered immediately. This is also the closest point to the sorting center, and they can arrive in 10 minutes."
"10 minutes …"
Li Dong nodded and said, "Try to complete the first delivery in 15 minutes. It's not specifically for me. It's better if other places are faster than me. We'll break all kinds of records and leave other platforms and logistics in the dust. "The current distribution system and sorting center actually rely more on manual labor. "When our smart logistics system is established, we'll rely more on big data calculations and smart sorting in the future. "When that time comes, our delivery efficiency will be higher."
When he mentioned the term smart logistics, many reporters nearby wanted to ask a few questions. However, when they thought of what Li Dong said previously, they could only hold back and wait for midnight to arrive.
However, Li Dong did not forget about them. He looked at the others and said with a smile, "Don't just watch. The goal of 100 billion also needs everyone's support. Since everyone is here, it's not good to just watch, right? The shopping cart is stuffed with things. It's not like before, and we can use the excuse that we can't go online. "Our mobile phones can also be used for shopping now. Although it's a little slow, we can still shop. "Don't care about that little bit of traffic money. Later, we'll have priority to interview those with high purchases, even if it's an exclusive interview. As for those with low purchases, we won't have this opportunity …"
When he said that, the reporters roared with laughter. However, someone else said, "This is what General Manager Li said. I've already stuffed the shopping cart full. I'll place the order directly later. General Manager Li, don't forget to give us the opportunity to interview you later."
Li Dong laughed and said, "It depends on the amount. If the order is high, it won't be a big problem."
Everyone laughed again, but they did not take it seriously.
Until now, there were not many media outlets that had interviewed Li Dong. Furthermore, there were so many people today. How could there be an opportunity for an interview?
Just as everyone was laughing and chatting, the time reached midnight.
When midnight arrived, everyone at the scene fell silent.
After about a minute or so, the Bin City staff said a few words through the earpiece. Then, they hurriedly said, "The first order nearby has been placed. The sorting center will start delivering immediately!"
When this was said, Li Dong said eagerly, "I'll deliver the first order here. Don't compete with me!"
Everyone laughed. You're already here, who would compete with you?
…
Although it was said to arrive in about ten minutes, in fact, it took less than eight minutes. Far away's delivery truck arrived at the distribution point.
Knowing that the boss was waiting there, the delivery driver also sped up and arrived at the distribution point as fast as he could.
When the delivery truck with the words "Far away Logistics" arrived, Li Dong walked forward and said to the camera, "In fact, we can be even faster. We can completely start delivering from the sorting center.
However, what we want is not just speed, but to let everyone see our perfect logistics and distribution system.
Warehouse delivery, sorting, delivery — this is a whole set of processes.
"What we are doing now is the perfect process. Of course, in the future, as technology develops and the road becomes smoother, some of the processes may be reduced.
For example, the distribution points that are densely packed now may be reduced in scale in the future.
"In the Central Region, we are now building a large logistics system and carrying out industrial centralization. When the time comes, warehouse delivery, sorting, and delivery will be centralized.
"In terms of efficiency, it will not be reduced, but it will be faster.
"However, at present, we are still mainly relying on manpower. In addition, the system is still not perfect. The layout of multiple stores is the embodiment of efficiency …"
After a brief introduction, when the people at the distribution point unloaded the packages from the delivery truck, Li Dong was suddenly a little dumbfounded.
Not only was he dumbfounded, but the faces of the few Far away management who were following him also turned green.
The few of them glared fiercely at the delivery driver. The driver's face was blank, and he had no idea what was going on.
Li Dong felt helpless and once again said to the camera, "From this point of view, I actually did not cheat. This is a good thing. "However, I remember that I had previously informed them that the first order would be placed by our own people, and we would just buy a few clothes. "I made the delivery easy, and it would also let everyone see our fastest efficiency. "But now … it seems that there is a slip-up. A customer placed an order faster than our people. "Furthermore, it is a big order, and it is really a big one!"
The reason why Li Dong said this was because the package that was unloaded from the truck was not small, but a big packaged box.
At the distribution point, it was slightly strenuous for two people to lift it.
After Li Dong finished speaking, he stepped forward and weighed it before saying, "At least seventy to eighty kilograms. I don't know if this customer who placed the order is a spy sent by Ma Yun. Forget it, since I said I will do the first order, let me do it myself. "
After saying that, Li Dong said to one of the delivery men who was carrying the box, "Let me do it. Later, just let someone lead the way. I will follow in the car."
After saying that, Li Dong and another employee lifted the box together into their own car.
As Li Dong walked, he said, "It is not that I don't want to drive an electric three-wheeled motorcycle, but the main thing is that it is late at night, and it is not easy to follow in this car. Everyone please understand. Actually, an electric three-wheeled motorcycle delivering goods in the city is more convenient than driving a car, and it is also more efficient. Alright, let's not talk about the small talk. Let's see if the first customer who placed the order is a spy for Ma Yun. The place is not far, everyone will be able to see it in a while. "
Although Li Dong did not stop talking, his actions were not slow. Very soon, he got into the car and began to follow the people in front of him to the place where the order was placed.
This time, he drove himself.
Although Tan Yong and the others were not at ease, with Li Dong's insistence, everyone had no choice but to follow in the car nearby.
The other media reporters also followed in their cars. For a moment, the motorcade was quite imposing.
After they left, an employee at the scene lamented, "The boss's delivery is more imposing than ours!"
Many people rolled their eyes. This was nonsense.
At this time, the store manager could not be bothered to reprimand them. He immediately said, "General Manager Li is here, and he will be back later. Everyone, keep your spirits up! We can't let General Manager Li lose to us. If that really happened, we would all be useless! "
With the store manager's arrangements, the others also began to get busy.
Li Dong's first order was special, and it was delivered by a special car. The subsequent orders would be delivered one after another.
…
While Li Dong was delivering the goods, many people from all over the country were sitting in front of the computer, watching Li Dong deliver the goods while shopping at the Far Away Mall.
When they heard Li Dong say several times that he was a spy sent by Ma Yun, many people were very happy.
Ma Yun, who was far away in Lin 'an, was still in the company at this time.
On the screen in front of him, it was Li Dong.
Although he still had a lot of things to do at this time and a lot of data to look at, Ma Yun did not care at this time.
Staring at the screen for a while, Ma Yun shook his head and said, "This guy really thinks of himself as a courier. I'm still waiting for him to say something useful."
Cai Chongxin, who was beside him, said suspiciously, "Something useful?"
Ma Yun said lightly, "Do you really think he is doing a live broadcast because he has nothing to do? Just wait and see. The delivery is incidental, and the morale is also incidental. There should be other purposes. I have a hunch that during the live broadcast, he will continue to shoot. "
Cai Chongxin frowned slightly, but did not ask again.
At this time, the two of them did not ask about the situation of Taobao, but kept staring at the live broadcast.
Li Dong could not care less about it. They were not busier than Li Dong.
