Chapter 863: Legend is no longer legend

With the passage of time, the news of Yuanfang Group seeking a logistics partner was also leaked.
For a time, the business community set off an uproar.
This is not simply a question of seeking a logistics partner, but the remote self-operated logistics model has been extremely questioned!
Over the past year, Yuanfang has invested nearly 10 billion yuan in logistics companies.
Now, however, the facts have hit the distance a lot.
Self-operated logistics is the wrong path, with high costs and low efficiency. Even the business of Yuanfang Mall cannot satisfy itself, and Li Dong's huge investment is completely wasted.
Before the cooperation between Yuanfang Mall and Yuanfang Logistics, others also felt that they saw a new road.
But now, whether it is the IT industry or the logistics industry, or venture capital institutions, have begun to make their own remarks.
Self-operated logistics is not promising!
The technical industry has a specialty, and let others do the things that logistics companies should do.
I want to catch everything in my hands, but in the end, nothing will happen.
The long-distance logistics of up to 10 billion investment is the biggest proof.
If Li Dong invests the money in Yuanfang Mall or supermarket, perhaps the Yuanfang Group will do even more now.
At this time, many people began to regret.
...
Capital city.
Liu Qiangdong looked heavy.
The change of the remote logistics system will not only affect the distant place, but also JD.com.
Even industry giants such as Far East have proved that self-operated logistics is not going to work. The pioneer is now facing a swamp, and he is no exception.
Several investment institutions have previously discussed financing 300 million US dollars for JD.com.
However, as soon as news from afar came out, these capital institutions repented.
300 million US dollars has now become 100 million US dollars, and these investment institutions have advised him not to invest in the logistics system.
Even the far side has failed. Is Liu Qiangdong better than Li Dong?
In the business world, Li Dong is a legend.
Now the legends are falling down, you Liu Qiangdong and He Dehe can feel that you can surpass Li Dong.
Liu Qiangdong no longer smiled on his face and muttered: "It shouldn't be!"
"The importance of self-operated logistics is self-evident. The logistics system is the lifeblood. How can you help people ..."
"Li Dong, you're suffering me!"
Liu Qiangdong was really suffocated at this time. He thought he was right, and Li Dong was actually right.
Self-operated logistics is necessary, even more than the construction of e-commerce websites.
But now, the industry's forerunner, Li Dong, the first to eat crabs, fell.
He spent a lot of money and established a self-operated logistics system, which not only failed to form an effective fighting force, but also dragged down the development of the distance.
Until now, Li Dong had to resort to foreign aid.
This is a thunderbolt for Liu Qiangdong!
Li Dong is wrong, is he right?
Will he continue to persevere?
Once perseverance, investment institutions may not be optimistic about him, no money, what development and what he takes beyond.
Not as big as Li Dongcai, now Jingdong is just like the children who are going to feed, and they have not been able to support themselves.
He relied solely on the optimism and support of investment institutions.
At the time, Li Dong defeated Taobao once by self-operated logistics, and all major investment institutions were very optimistic about Li Dong and the self-operated logistics system.
At that time, everyone was almost rushing to send money to Jingdong Development.
In half a year, JD.com raised US $ 200 million in financing, more than JD.com ’s total assets.
Even, 300 million US dollars of financing will soon be ushered in. At this time, everyone is as excited as the chicken blood, and feels that Jingdong's future is extremely brilliant.
In just a few days, the situation changed.
JD.com, who is optimistic, fell into the bottom suddenly because of the events in the distance.
This is a bit exaggerated, but Liu Qiangdong's self-operated logistics system was rejected by major investment institutions.
Of course, the veto is not so thorough.
After all, Li Dong has not yet failed, and there were some difficulties in the early stage, which everyone can understand.
However, if the situation in the distance continues to deteriorate, then self-operated logistics is a dead end in the country, and I am afraid that no one will support Jingdong again.
Liu Qiangdong sighed softly, before he was anxious to Taobao or far away.
However, at this moment, he hopes that the distance will cheer up.
The logistics system in the distant place is in a state of collapse, and Liu Qiangdong's dream may also be shattered.
...
at the same time.
Lin'an.
Ma Yun frowned tightly and shook his head: "Guang Chang, it's too early to make a conclusion."
Guo Guangchang said helplessly: "I wish him success, but now the result is obvious, Li Dong failed."
"Old horse, rookie, you said continue to invest, then I continue to support, in fact, no loss for me.
Isn't that just a storage center?
I took it without losing it, anyway, the skin was there.
Can you?
You have to think about it yourself. Can billions of dollars of investment be agreed between Softbank and Yahoo?
If Li Dong succeeded, they would be tempted to keep up and eat meat.
But now, the situation on Li Dong's side is not so good. Almost 50% of the business in the remote malls is handed over to outsourced logistics, and they can only provide 50% of the services themselves.
Nearly 10 billion investment!
After so much money goes down, 50% of the business goal is completed, and the efficiency is too low.
Your share price of Ali has been declining during this time. If you still go all out and spend a lot of money on investment, I think you are in trouble. "
Speaking of the stock price problem, Ma Yun frowned: "What do they know!
I said at the beginning that it is not a good time to go public, but those people must not listen.
However, listing is not without any benefits, at least tens of billions of capital development for us.
Now that the stock price is falling, let him fall. When the stock price falls below the bottom line, I ... cough ... "
Guo Guangchang knew what he meant and frowned slightly: "Do you want to exit the market?"
"I don't have this plan yet."
"You'd better not have this plan, old horse, it's not me who hit you. Once you leave the market, how many people will scold you and can't lift your head?
Investors will scold you, investors will scold you, I am afraid even Ali employees will scold you ... "
"I do not care!"
Guo Guangchang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Then you can do it yourself. In short, you have to think twice about this matter.
On the rookie side, I will not divest.
In fact, I think that self-operated logistics can still be done. Li Dong ’s failure to do so may be a management problem.
I heard that Qin Hai, the CEO of Far East Logistics, was the father of the girl Li Dong took to the meeting last time.
It's a pity for Li Dong. I thought he could go on. I didn't expect to be able to escape the narrow thinking of private enterprises in the end. "
After Guo Guangchang finished speaking, Ma Yun also sighed: "I, like you, say that I am an opponent with him. In fact, I still admire him before.
Unfortunately, this guy is still not open-minded enough.
Why don't private enterprises do big?
Can't be the top in the world?
Management is the biggest problem!
In terms of employment, appointing kinship is safe, but it also inhibits the development of the enterprise and cuts off the momentum of the upward impact of the following people.
Do employees lack motivation and struggle with passion?
I see that Li Dong is blind, and some are immersed in the success of the past.
If he were to replace him now, I wouldn't be able to recover from the distant logistics. "
Guo Guangchang nodded his approval, and both felt sorry for Li Dong.
After chatting for a while, Ma Yun replied: "But this guy Li Dong didn't forget to put me together when he arrived, and he directly blocked the 50% logistics channel in East China.
According to my budget, their remote logistics can still maintain complete operations in East China.
As a result, he was willing to spend money to deploy in East China. Isn't this intentionally giving me eye drops? "
Guo Guangchang couldn't help laughing when he heard it: "I know a little bit about him, and he can do this kind of thing.
But having said that, is there any problem on your side? "
"It's no big problem for the time being, but I still have to guard against it. The logistics channel that is less than half can still barely satisfy our operation.
If he were to dig some more away, the trouble would be even greater.
At that time, Su Guo was defeated on this, and the supply channel was cut off ... "
Saying Ma Yun suddenly frowned, picked up the coffee and drank: "Guangchang, don't you think something is wrong?"
Guo Guangchang is not a fool, he said suspiciously when he heard it, "You mean ..."
"Correct!"
Ma Yun's eyes flickered and said: "You said, did he reapply? He deliberately confuses us with fake news?
Then we cut off our logistics channels and lost our competitiveness at once. "
"But this doesn't make sense. After all, you still retain more than half of the logistics channels.
And you do not have high requirements for logistics. Except for Taobao Mall, other businesses provide logistics services by themselves.
There are countless small and medium-sized logistics companies everywhere, even if there is no support from those large logistics companies, you will not have too much trouble here.
Unless Li Dong cut off all your logistics channels at once, is this possible? "
"It's not possible, but I always feel something is wrong. Faraway Logistics has been operating quite well before, so why suddenly it won't work?
What is Li Dong doing? "
At the moment, Ma Yun couldn't understand it. Obviously something wasn't thought through.
Guo Guangchang smiled and said: "No matter what he wants to do, just don't give him this opportunity.
This time he digs out only some channels of East China Logistics, and elsewhere, you serve dim sum.
At that time, unless he cut off all the national logistics channels, otherwise he can do nothing to you? "
Ma Yun nodded slightly: "This is also true, it seems that a little blood is enough."
Keep your own logistics channel, it will definitely not work without bleeding.
Now SF's families are waiting for prices to sit.
In order to take control of the East China channel of several major express companies, the conditions and prices offered by the far side are very favorable.
If he didn't bleed, he would be cheaper when he had internal strife.
...
plain.
The sky is getting darker.
The weather forecast says that there have been sleet in the past few days, the snow has not been seen, and the small raindrops have dripped down.
After a while, the glass on the window was cracked.
Li Dongzheng stared out of the window, Chen Ke knocked on the door and said: "Mr. Li, Mr. Qin is here."
"Let General Qin come in."
Soon, Qin Hai pushed in.
Seeing this, Li Dong smiled: "Uncle Qin, why not take a few days off after a long journey?"
Qin Hai didn't answer, stared at him for a while, and said in a deep voice: "You always have your own idea, I usually just need to execute it.
I have no idea about this incident.
The problem with the logistics company is that I didn't make it, I admit it.
But one thing I have to say, the current logistics has not reached the point where it can't sustain!
Just give us a few days to get used to it, we will be able to do our best soon, I have this confidence!
But now?
Seeking foreign aid is a major blow to Yuanfang Group and Yuanfang Logistics.
The morale of the employees on the logistics side suddenly fell. In the past, we felt that we were doing well, but now we only know that in the eyes of the group, we are the drag.
Mr. Li, I hope you can give us a reason for this.
Not for me, but for employees of all logistics companies!
A team of 7000 people, because of your decision, we have become the laughing stock of all our peers.
In the past, when we went out and put on work clothes in the distance, everyone raised their heads higher than others.
But now, when I meet other logistics company employees on the road, especially the people of the three links, we can't wait to put our heads in the crotch!
Distant courier shipments are not actually transported by our people, but by people from other companies. Can you understand this kind of blow? "
Li Dong sighed: "I can understand, really understand.
But Uncle Qin, I naturally have my reasons for doing so.
And the logistics side is indeed expanding too fast, we need to slow down.
After this year, we have the experience and the order. At that time, we will kick the others out.
This time, we only signed a one-year agreement with the three links. One year later, our foundation is solid. Who will dare to laugh at us then? "
"Okay, I admit what you said makes sense." Qin Hai nodded and said, "But why didn't you even give us the opportunity?"
"In a few days, the group can't wait to sign the agreement. Can't we hold it for a few days?"
Li Dong said softly: "It's raining."
Qin Hai frowned.
Li Dong said: "The forecast says there will be sleet."
"Even if it snows, we can hold on!"
"I dare not take this risk." Li Dong sighed: "You have to understand me, it is not easy to develop the mall in the distance. After the Taobao mall goes online, we are under great pressure.
"At this time, if there is a problem with logistics, who will give us a chance to save ourselves?"
"I can only choose to plan ahead. It's best not to have an accident. If something goes wrong, we still have a way to go.
Anything that is not afraid of 10,000 is afraid of anything, what if we ca n’t hold it?
Maybe you think I think too much, but we have not experienced these.
Last year, the Far Eastern Mall has not opened a national channel. Even in the East China region, our logistics cannot be supported.
Now not only has the nationwide channel been opened, the business has also increased by a factor of 100!
What is the concept of 100 times?
The daily turnover of our mall has reached more than 50 million, and because of the close year, we will only have more.
Even if an average of 80 million a day, 100 yuan for a single order, there will be 800,000 pieces of courier to be delivered in a day.
In this rain and snow weather, can we really hold it?
There is still one month before the New Year, more than 20 million express delivery, 7,000 employees, each person to send more than 100 pieces per day per day.
This can be done for experienced veterans, can it be done for newcomers?
Especially in this season, I find it difficult, too difficult.
More than 90% of our employees are newcomers, which is really difficult to achieve. "
"But as long as we increase the incentives, 100 can still be done!"
"What if the daily sales exceed 80 million? This may not be without."
"Then there is no need to sell more than 50% of the business in the east, and at most three achievements are enough." Qin Hai continued: "I'm not struggling. This is the case. The company spends too much money and is not worth it."
Li Dong said with a smile: "It's all about whether it's worth it or not. Besides, I'm not just for our business."
What does Qin Hai surface look suspicious?
Li Dong did not explain, and he was too lazy to explain.
In fact, even without this snow, he also wanted to give it a try.
Boil the frog in warm water.
Today, 10% of Taobao ’s channels in the east are cut off, and 10% will be cut tomorrow.
It's just money. Taobao won't notice it if you go on like this.
They are different from distant places, most of the goods in distant malls are operated independently.
And Taobao is all self-employed.
Self-employed people will not be so keen, they will only feel that the courier is a little slower and the delivery is a little harder.
When Taobao noticed this, I'm afraid it was too late.
Of course, in this way, the capital spent in the distance may not be small.
So Li Dong's action is a little bigger this time, just want to take advantage of the snow when it hits a kill with one blow ~ EbookFREE.me ~ If you can't do it this time, then come slowly.
Although Taobao will definitely know after this time, but that is nothing, even if they can not be defeated from the logistics, Li Dong ’s involvement will also cause logistics costs to rise.
The courier company is not stupid, and it will not wait until when the price starts.
And faraway is not afraid, faraway logistics is the bottom line.
Does rookie have this confidence now?
No!
All in all, Li Dong is not at a loss whether it succeeds or fails this time.
Success, Taobao products can not be sent out, consumers are completely disappointed.
If it fails, the logistics cost will increase, and the merchants will only earn back from the consumers. In the end, Taobao ’s biggest advantage will decline.
Taobao is now slogan of high quality and low price. Once the quality is low and the price is low, what advantages do they have?
And Li Dong paid only the reputation of distant logistics and a part of the money.
As for fame, you only need to know your own affairs.
By the end of this snowstorm, everyone will know if the remote logistics has any combat power.
The reputation is not touted. If you do n’t play it out, who knows if you can do it.
Qin Hai didn't get an answer, but Li Dong gave an explanation anyway. At this time, he also stayed soon, and some things had to be proved by himself.
When he left, Li Dong continued to look out the window.
The rain is getting heavier and the weather is getting darker.
I am about to launch an attack on Taobao. At this time, will Xu Shengzhe also be preparing to launch an attack?
Li Dong sighed at the thought of the Xu family's father and son. The affection of the big family will always be so weak.
I do not know if there will be a day in the future, the Li family will become like this.
Li Dong smiled self-deprecatingly. He was really worried, and he was only in his twenties, thinking about what the use was.
