Since Taobao and Taobao Logistics developed rapidly during Brand Day and SARS, Li Mu has not found a suitable opportunity to promote the hard power behind Taobao and Taobao Logistics.

Traditional self-proclaiming is certainly OK, but the effect is not that good or that explosive. The best way is to show off invisible.

The highest level of invisible display is not that I say I am awesome, but that I show my awesome side and make others stunned and say I am awesome.

Therefore, Li Mu deliberately wanted to bring William to visit, but in fact he wanted to show the development of Taobao and Taobao logistics to the outside world.

Especially in the Western world, they know Muye Technology very well, but they have basically only heard of Taobao and Taobao logistics. They know that this company is also owned by Li Mu, but they have no idea about how this company is doing.

Li Mu also wanted to show his Taobao and Taobao logistics to the Western world through William's perspective, and the height and scale it has reached at this stage, so that Western people can have some understanding of Taobao and Taobao logistics.

Taobao and Taobao logistics are very different from Muye Technology's businesses. Muye Technology's business is a completely online business, so you can expand your business to any corner of the world along the network cable, but Taobao and Taobao logistics are not good yet.

E-commerce is almost all an industry that combines online and offline, and expands to overseas markets. The online part is easy, but the offline part is very difficult, and logistics is even more difficult. After so many years of development, I have not really made a big name overseas.

Even at this stage, Muye Technology is developing so rapidly, Li Mu has no intention of letting Taobao and Taobao logistics flow overseas.

However, not going to go overseas for the time being, it is not that you are not going to develop overseas in the future.

Li Mu is still very familiar with Amazon's rapid rise in the next decade. Once Taobao and Taobao Logistics accumulate enough power in China, he will inevitably invest a huge amount of funds to tie these two products to overseas.

It is not time to go to sea to start and go to sea, but it is still necessary to lay the groundwork for publicity in advance. What's more, advertising to the Western world through William is more effective than other means.

After the news of William's visit to Taobao Logistics was released, Li Mu's plan received excellent feedback. Most people in Western countries' impression of China is still in a backward and unopen-minded prejudicial thinking. In their eyes, the success of Makino Technology is an individual case of overtaking on the Internet, but it cannot represent that the private enterprises in this country have entered a stage of rapid development.

However, Taobao logistics’s entire information process from warehousing to sorting, and then to transportation has fooled the people of the entire Western country.

Li Mu can say confidently that small logistics in any country in the world are far less advanced than Taobao logistics!

The reason is very simple. E-commerce is far from developing as fast and mature as China in any country. Therefore, small-piece logistics has not yet reached its peak demand in any other country. In this case, companies involved in small-piece logistics have no motivation to innovate.

But Taobao is different. Li Mu faces a huge market with a population of 1.3 billion, and has a large set of guiding ideas that will mature in more than ten years, as well as sufficient financial and technical strength to support it, and quickly makes the 2C-end e-commerce bigger and stronger.

2c, that is, e-commerce for ordinary consumers, most of the orders belong to small-item logistics, so Li Mu naturally has enough motivation to quickly promote the strength of Taobao logistics in small-item logistics.

It is precisely because of this that Taobao Logistics has shown the innovative side of Chinese private enterprises to the whole world.

There are not many physical enterprises that can fully informatize and automate in the early 21st century, especially those in traditional physical industries, in the world. However, a logistics company in China is deliberately trying to do informatization and automation. This almost sci-fi operation process is enough to shock people all over the world.

For a time, the entire Western media almost agreed and praised Taobao Logistics. Many media even believed that Taobao Logistics is a model for the development of global private enterprises. Its awareness is advanced and almost leads the traditional industry by an era.

Even the German media said in their own reports: "Li Mu took away our automatic sorting system, took away our heavy trucks, and then made such a grand and advanced logistics system like magic. They even installed chips, radio frequency systems and gps positioning systems in every German-made truck. We were thinking about how to make the trucks run farther and faster, but Li Mu connected our trucks into the Internet, making them part of the Internet system..."

The Japanese media has the most sour taste. They said: "Our GDP is above China, but there has never been an Internet company in our country that can compete with Makino Technology. Oh no, there seems to be no Internet company in our country. As for small logistics, it feels that the daily package volume of Taobao logistics is close to Japan's whole year..."

The proud British media said: "Thanks to Prince William for helping us open our horizons and breaking our usual confidence and arrogance. Taobao Logistics's sci-fi operation process is enough for every British company to study hard for a period of time. What we need to reflect on is why we have never tried our best to make a system more perfect like Taobao Logistics."

The American media, which has always regarded itself as a pioneer in technology, also expressed the same view: "It's just an ordinary small logistics. In the eyes of Americans, it is to mail a postcard from one city to another. It doesn't need to be fast. It can arrive before Christmas or New Year. Even if the postcard is sent in October, Li Mu, who is far away in China, is trying to shorten the logistics time between most cities in this country to within 24 hours. It's also a postcard. In the United States, you have to prepare one or two months in advance, otherwise you will miss the festival. But in China, as long as you think about it the day before the festival, you can deliver the postcard to your friends on time. This is the gap in doing things, but in the final analysis, it is the gap in entrepreneurial thinking."

Faced with the praise from the whole world, Li Mu was particularly satisfied while not worried about the secret leak.

Senior Brother Liu and Mr. Lei were still a little worried. Li Mu had disclosed too much, and even announced his algorithms, logics, and processing plans. Will potential competitors benefit from it in the future?

Li Mu didn't care at all. Instead, he said to the two of them confidently in the high-level conference room of Taobao: "Small logistics is so crazy about informatization and automation. Only we have the ability to do it in the world, and only we have the need to do it."

"Look at ups, their family is big and their business is widespread, where is their money spent? The fleet is constantly expanding, with hundreds of aircraft themselves and hundreds of them leased. With such a heavy asset model, you can let them achieve comprehensive automation and informatization on a global scale in a short time, and update automation equipment to all logistics hubs around the world and update all warehousing equipment, which will not take long to drag them down!"

"The larger the existing scale, the more difficult it is to make comprehensive innovations. This cost is too high. CEA does not have this courage, and the board of directors will not have it. They can only upgrade and innovate little by little, and take a long time to complete the iteration of the entire system."

"In contrast, small and medium-sized logistics companies are already struggling to survive under the blow of large enterprises and do not have enough capital support. What can we use to imitate us? Not to mention other things, only large Internet R&D companies can do the logistics management system we are using now, including architecture design, software support, hardware design, software and hardware linkage debugging, combination optimization, checking for omissions and filling in gaps. With so much work, the comprehensive R&D cost of a system will inevitably be more than tens of millions of dollars, and the maintenance costs behind it are also amazingly high. Who can afford it?"

Senior Brother Liu was stunned and scratched his head and said, "That's how not many people can afford to play..."

Master Lei also smiled and said, "I feel much more at ease after hearing what Mr. Li analyzed this way."

Li Mu smiled and said: "Not every logistics company has a Taobao and Muye Technology behind it. In the future, Muye Technology's hardware laboratories continue to develop in the field of software and hardware development of smart devices. Our level of informatization can be further improved. In the next step, we must further increase the construction of domestic distribution centers, use more distribution centers to disperse the pressure of core hubs, and at the same time use more advanced technologies and equipment to improve our overall turnover efficiency."

Senior Brother Liu said: "We are preparing to continue to invest in the construction of warehousing and sorting centers to increase the density, especially in the southeast region."

Li Mu nodded and said, "Warehouse capacity and operation efficiency are on the one hand, and transportation capacity is on the other hand. Our fleet must continue to expand. At the same time, we will continue to increase cooperation with civil aviation, strive to sign long-term strategic cooperation agreements with several major airlines, and seize most of their belly cargo warehouse resources."

As he said that, Li Mu said again: "Senior Brother Liu, I heard that the country is planning the fifth railway speedup. Do you know about this?"

Senior Brother Liu immediately said: "I understand that this speedup is different from the past, and the movements are very big."

Li Mu asked him: "What are the specific manifestations?"

Senior Brother Liu said: "I have a high school classmate who studies mechanical engineering and works as an engineer at Qishuyan Locomotive Factory. After I heard that I wanted to speed up, I specifically talked to him. He revealed some hardware-level information to me."

Li Mu was in a state of interest and hurriedly said, "Tell me."

Senior Brother Liu said: "Qishuyan Locomotive Factory developed a new set of dual-machine reconnected passenger locomotives, the model is df11g. The biggest difference between this locomotive and other Dongfeng locomotives is that it runs fast and has a maximum speed of 170 kilometers per hour, which is very amazing."

Master Lei asked curiously: "Mr. Liu, please interrupt me. What is a dual-machine reconnection?"

Senior Brother Liu said: "It is the two locomotives that run together in one piece. DF11g is a fixed locomotive that connects the two locomotives, so the traction power will be larger and the acceleration will be high, which is suitable for fast running."

Li Mu asked him: "Senior Brother Liu, what are the main uses of these new motorcycles?"

Senior Brother Liu said: "Of course it is passenger transport. In terms of railway transport, freight transport is more jogging, and passenger transport is less jogging. The designed locomotive with a speed of 170 kilometers per hour is born with passenger transport. I heard that the railway department is planning to use this locomotive to drive direct trains between first and second-tier cities across the country, which is the z-header. Generally speaking, a distance like Yanjing to Shanghai Stock Exchange can achieve the night of departure and morning arrival."

Li Mu asked again: "What good news is there for us?"

Senior Brother Liu said: "We do small-piece logistics, which is actually more similar to passenger transport, and is most suitable for fast-tracking trains. In the future, if such direct trains are opened from provincial capitals to first-tier cities across the country, the speed is much faster than our motor transport, and the load and cost are much lower than air transport. It is just between land transport and air transport, and the cost is very high. The easiest thing is that we can directly cooperate with the railway department. For each direct train, we contract one to two chartered cars, and even apply for the opening of point-to-point express express trains."

Speaking of this, Senior Brother Liu was a little excited and said, "Mr. Li, think about it. A container truck with a 40-foot cabinet with a capacity of over 50 cubic meters. However, the construction speed of the xl25t truck bottom produced by the railway department is designed at 180 kilometers per hour, which is completely matched with df11g. Moreover, the effective capacity of its bicycle is more than 160 cubic meters. One truck can support 3 container trucks, and a special train can be used to generate 20 trucks. This train has 60 container trucks on the roof!"

When Li Mu heard this data, he was also excited.

Senior Brother Liu continued: "Look, the designed speed is 170 kilometers per hour, and the arrival of the morning is in the morning. In other words, the loading train from Yanjing will basically arrive at the Shanghai Stock Exchange at 8 o'clock tonight. At the same distance, the container truck will run for about 24 hours. What is the difference? If the railway department is willing to open a special train for us, one train every day, and two trains will travel from the Shanghai Stock Exchange to Yanjing. In 12 hours, 12 containers of goods can be exchanged between the two cities! This efficiency is not much slower than that of the aircraft! The key is that the transportation capacity is large and the cost-effectiveness is higher!"

Li Mu's eyes lit up and he blurted out: "This is reliable! If we can open a special train between major hubs, our entire turnover speed and capacity will be greatly improved. Speed ​​and capacity will also be a huge boost to Taobao's business development. This is very important to us!"
