There was no Double 11 promotion in his previous life.
The 618 promotion in 2004 was not as lively as the Double 11 in his previous life.
However, although it was not comparable, the logistics industry at this time was far from anticipating the sudden explosion of online shopping.
Wang Haimei's shop only received a few hundred orders a day.
However, for the major logistics and express delivery companies, the sudden orders were like a flood passing through, exploding in an instant.
"Oh my god, so many orders. How many days will it take?"
"What do you mean by a few days? Brother, hurry up and find a warehouse. This place can't hold anymore."
"Yes, yes, yes. Find a warehouse."
Faced with the terrifying number of orders, the bosses of the major logistics companies quickly rented several warehouses.
Of course, this was not enough.
The warehouses could not store so many things forever. They had to be moved away quickly.
They called their superiors and asked them to quickly send vehicles to move these goods away.
However, it was not so easy to move them away.
The sudden explosion of orders made the original delivery vehicles too busy.
At this time, there was a problem.
Should they increase the number of vehicles or delay the shipment for a few days?
Now, every long-distance trailer was ridiculously expensive. It could be said that every additional trailer increased the cost of the major logistics companies.
However, if they did not increase the cost, these goods could only be queued to the back.
The goods that originally arrived in three days could arrive in a week or even two weeks.
Of course, if it was in the past, under normal circumstances, these express delivery companies would delay the shipment for a few days.
After all, promotions had a peak period. Once the peak period was over, it would return to normal.
If they bought more vehicles to cope with the peak period, they would lose a lot.
However, this time, it was different from the past.
Some express delivery bosses had a keen premonition that this might be an opportunity for their logistics and express delivery industry.
For example, SF Express.
Almost on the same day, the boss of SF Express, "Wang Wei", immediately came to Huanyu Technologies's e-commerce department.
"Boss Chen, I can't believe you created so many orders today."
"Boss Wang, there are so many orders to come. We'll have to rely on you to send them to all parts of the country."
"To be honest, Boss Chen, I'm also here for this matter. However, you also know that the cost of large trailers is too high. Whether it's renting or buying, it will put a huge pressure on our cost in a short period of time. "
"Boss Wang wants to know if we can maintain this order volume?"
Chen Yu met the legendary King of Express Delivery in the company.
It could be said that the CEO of Shunfeng, Wang Wei, was the most powerful courier magnate in the country.
Even Teacher Alima couldn't do anything to such a big shot.
It was rumored that this CEO was very low-key, so low-key that he never accepted any interviews from the media.
There wasn't even a photo.
Speaking of which, Chen Yu also admired this legendary figure in the delivery industry.
"Boss Wang, I don't know if you're optimistic about e-commerce. If you are optimistic, I will tell you that e-commerce will experience explosive growth in the next few years. This growth was even faster than the growth of online games. In terms of order volume, this promotion might be 10 million orders, and the next promotion would be 20 million orders. If we do it next year, our promotional order will be 200 million. "
"200 million orders?"
Wang Wei almost couldn't believe it.
What he meant just now was not that he wanted Huanyu Technologies to maintain the current promotional order volume.
Everyone knew that the promotional order volume would definitely increase much more than usual.
Once the promotion was over, the order volume would drop.
Of course, it was fine if it dropped, as long as it kept rising in the long term.
However, Wang Wei was not sure how great the long-term growth potential was.
If he looked at it from the perspective of B2C, although there was the potential for growth, the performance was average.
However, C2C made Wang Wei feel a little unusual.
Just like today.
Under normal circumstances, if they were doing B2C before, their orders would not be so terrifying.
It was already very good for everyone to buy one or two items.
After all, B2C sold large items, such as home appliances and branded products.
However, a lot of C2C's purchases were small items.
Some of these small items were dozens of yuan, and some were even only a few yuan.
However, even if it was a few yuan, he would still buy an order.
Moreover, with such a single order, the logistics transport volume he needed was dozens of times that of B2C.
Now, Chen Yu actually said that next year's orders would exceed 200 million …
This was no longer an ordinary increase.
This was something that had never happened in any field before the Internet.
"Boss Chen, are you sure?"
"I'm sure."
Chen Yu nodded.
Then, he glanced at Wang Wei. "Boss Wang, how about this? I wonder if your company needs financing?"
"Boss Chen, we'll talk about this later."
Wang Wei did not respond to Chen Yu's words.
Wang Wei had very strict control over his business. He usually did not want others to interfere.
Especially Internet giants like Huanyu Technologies.
In addition, Huanyu Technologies had its own e-commerce business.
If they were allowed to enter …
Although it seemed that they might benefit greatly from B2C …
This also gave Huanyu Technologies a chance to compete with B2C in the future.
However, although he was rejected by Wang Wei, Chen Yu was very calm.
Although Chen Yu wanted to enter the express delivery business, he did not want to go so deep for the time being.
Express delivery logistics was also a huge field. Just the hardware investment alone was a huge sum.
At present, Chen Yu did not have the energy to be distracted by doing express delivery.
It would not be too late to do express delivery after his e-commerce business matured.
"Okay, Boss Chen, I'll go back first."
After a round of inspection, Wang Wei returned to the company.
Moreover, he immediately allocated a huge sum of money to buy a large transport trailer.
Yes.
Although Wang Wei rejected Chen Yu's investment, a round of inspection gave Wang Wei a little confidence in his heart.
Now, just the promotion orders for the clothing category were already so terrifying.
If other things were added in the future, he really did not know what kind of record would be created.
Perhaps, it might really break the 200 million number of orders next year.
…
June 19, 2004, 0: 00.
The 618 promotion had passed for 24 hours.
Holding the 24-hour data, Wang Zheng excitedly came to Chen Yu's office.
Although it was 0: 00, no one in the company had left at this time.
Everyone wanted to see this data as soon as possible.
"Boss Chen, it's out, it's out."
"Why are you so excited?"
Chen Yu smiled and said, "Didn't I see it once an hour ago?"
The most popular time of the 618 promotion was at 0: 00 that day.
The other time was at 8: 00 p.m. the next day.
After 10: 00 p.m., there were basically not many orders.
Just now, the orders were counted once an hour ago. It should be said that there would not be much change in another hour.
But even so, after the 24-hour data came out, Wang Zheng was also very excited.
"Boss Chen, let me report the data to you."
"618's turnover on that day exceeded 500 million yuan, the total number of orders was 13.6 million …"
Wang Zheng excitedly read the data.
He believed that as long as these data were announced, it would definitely shake the entire industry.
