Chapter 105 Setting up a dinner party

After conducting detailed research in Yiwu Mall, Xu Cong has some contact with these merchants in Yiwu Mall.

This will also make it easier for more individual merchants to join the e-commerce platform after it is built in the future.

After staying in Yiwu Mall for almost a day, Xu Cong also returned to the hotel to rest.

The current development of e-commerce is still in its infancy. The main profits of some domestic e-commerce platforms come from individual merchants.

After all, merchants who register on e-commerce platforms need to pay settlement fees every year. These settlement fees are equivalent to the store rent of individual merchants on e-commerce platforms.

Just relying on this method to make profits is not a long-term solution, and this method will also limit the development of e-commerce.

Merchants themselves cannot make money, so they will eventually choose to gradually leave the e-commerce platform. As merchants gradually leave, the e-commerce platform will eventually reduce the store entry fees earned, and will eventually slowly decline.

This is a very bad vicious cycle. If the vicious cycle continues, domestic e-commerce platforms will never be able to develop in the future.

Buyers can purchase products at the most favorable prices on e-commerce platforms, and receive products via logistics express within a short time.

Individual merchants who open online stores can rely on a large number of orders to eventually obtain enough revenue to insist on staying on the e-commerce platform.

As for the e-commerce platform, it is more about providing a platform and relative transaction specifications, so as to obtain part of the profits by relying on the flow of funds.

This is the best way for modern e-commerce to achieve a win-win situation for all three parties.

Only by achieving a win-win situation for all three parties can the development of e-commerce be smoother. At the same time, such a virtuous cycle can also allow more individuals, merchants and buyers to enter the e-commerce platform.

All that needs to be done now is to prepare the big cake of the e-commerce platform.

"The next step is to contact several current logistics companies. After all, logistics is the most solid foundation for the development of e-commerce. If logistics companies do not become bigger and stronger and spread across the country, the prosperity of e-commerce will no longer exist!"

Xu Cong, who returned to the hotel to rest, also began to prepare to consider the next development steps.

The development of e-commerce is closely related to the development of logistics.

Although the current logistics is said to have postal express delivery that can be used throughout the country, the transportation speed is too slow. This transportation speed is not suitable for the development of e-commerce.

Most consumers who shop online hope to receive the goods within one to three days after placing the order. A delay of one week will cause some consumers to worry.

The current development of the domestic logistics industry is basically in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai delta areas. After all, the business circulation here is the most extensive.

Companies with three links and one extension were basically established in this area, and after continuous development, they eventually went nationwide.

At the same time, there are also some small logistics companies in various parts of the country in this era. Even after the development of the Three Links and One Road is completed, there are hundreds of small intercity logistics companies in various parts of the country.

Why three links and one reach can truly become the ultimate king in the domestic logistics industry mainly relies on the expansion of three links and one reach across the country.

Other small logistics companies are all regional logistics companies. In terms of logistics transmission, they only carry out logistics transportation in the corresponding areas.

However, the three links and one reach relied on the development in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai in the early days, and the sufficient profits gained gradually began to spread to wider areas, and eventually the business became nationwide.

The current three links and one extension are regional logistics companies, but according to the news that Xu Cong inquired about, these four logistics companies have begun to prepare to build transit logistics stations in first-tier cities in China.

This means that current logistics companies have gradually entered the right path of development. In the future, with the establishment of logistics transfer stations in various places, the logistics industry will usher in rapid development.

Of course, with the four-way connection now, although various first-tier cities are gradually preparing to build logistics transfer stations, building logistics transfer stations still requires a certain amount of funds to maintain the development of the transfer stations.

First of all, building a logistics transfer station requires a very large logistics transfer station. This place must be a warehouse that can accommodate a large amount of goods.

In contrast, purchasing or leasing a factory requires a large amount of funds.

Of course, most logistics companies will establish their transfer stations in suburban areas, which can save a lot of costs and facilitate the transportation of goods. After all, these suburban areas are actually very close to highways.

In fact, the initial development of logistics companies relied on the company's own funds for development and establishment. Transfer stations and sites in first-tier cities were all funded by the company.

However, transportation points in some second- and third-tier cities or counties are all logistics points built by local investors and logistics companies.

With the continuous development of online e-commerce, many people have seen logistics and have very considerable profits.

Sitongyida also relied on its own reputation in the logistics industry for many years and its extensive logistics network, which eventually attracted many investors to join and built many branches in various regions.

It is also true that in the most prosperous years of the development of e-commerce, the number of logistics sites across the country has increased by at least more than 10,000, and many people have also relied on the rise of e-commerce to take the first place in the logistics industry.

A wave of dividends.

"Acquisition, I'm afraid it won't work..."

In fact, Xu Cong had the idea of ​​​​acquiring three links and one extension in his mind, but this idea was eventually thrown away by Xu Cong.

Even if you are willing to acquire the other party, the other party may not be willing to be acquired by you.

The idea of ​​setting up a logistics company by yourself is a very good idea, but after Xu Cong's careful calculation, Xu Cong felt that this method was not particularly cost-effective.

Building a logistics system from scratch requires a lot of time and money, and it also consumes most of Xu Cong's energy.

Now Xu Cong manages a very large number of companies, and he does not have a particularly long time to operate, manage and build logistics companies.

In addition, the current logistics industry itself is a very ranked industry. Many established logistics companies are full of resistance to new logistics companies. Their entry will inevitably arouse the same hatred among logistics companies.

Secondly, although the development of logistics companies is expected to expand on a large scale due to the rapid prosperity of e-commerce, many problems have arisen after the prosperity.

These problems will intensify conflicts within the entire logistics company, and will also have a huge impact on the reputation and reputation of the logistics company.

Although Xu Cong wanted to establish a logistics company, after thinking about it, he temporarily slowed down the matter and decided to see if the three links and one reach were willing to cooperate with him.

The boss of Three Links and One Express quickly received a call from Xu Cong.

With Xu Cong's current strength, it only takes one sentence to find the phone numbers of these bosses.

The bosses who first received the call thought they had encountered a scammer, so they hung up Xu Cong's phone decisively.

Who is Xu Cong! The boss of Wanxiang Technology, the largest Internet industry in China, and the nominally richest man in China.

How could this big boss who stands at the top of the pyramid call the small bosses of these logistics companies!

Fortunately, Xu Cong persevered, and after several rounds of phone calls, the bosses of these logistics companies finally believed that the person on the other end of the phone was Xu Cong, the richest man in the country.

Xu Cong's invitation also made this group of logistics bosses interested.

So under Xu Cong's planning, a new dining hall was built.

Three days later, a private room in a hotel in Hangzhou was already full of people.

Xu Cong was sitting in the main seat at this time, looking at the boss who came to the box with a smile.

To be honest, the relationship between the three links and one extension is actually very close, and even the bosses of each company have a certain relationship.

Some are classmates.

Some are fellow countrymen.

There is also a brother-in-law, his late brother’s wife, and his wife’s new husband.

Generally speaking, the relationship between the three links and one extension is still very close, and although there is competition between the three links and one extension, a certain contract has been reached in the process of competition.

Regarding the dinner organized by Xu Cong, these bosses all participated in the dinner with curiosity.

Obviously, everyone present is still full of expectations for this dinner.

Facing the bosses of various logistics companies who had been invited, Xu Cong also bluntly stated the reasons for organizing this dinner.

"In the future, e-commerce will be fully developed across the country, and logistics, as the core foundation of e-commerce, will reach a new level in terms of transportation speed and transportation time..."

Xu Cong said to everyone present while drinking wine.

Listening to what Xu Cong said, everyone's eyes slowly turned from confusion to excitement.

In three days, through continuous transfer at the logistics transfer station, it was transported from the far northeast to Shenzhen City in the south.

Monthly subscription system for express logistics...

With the help of this wine bureau, Xu Cong directly clarified some of the main directions for the subsequent development of logistics, and the leaders of these companies who are deeply involved in the logistics industry directly and decisively made it clear.

After listening to Xu Cong's words, these logistics companies also became more certain about their future expansion plans across the country.

When talking about the most exciting moment, Xu Cong also directly revealed his purpose of setting up a wine bureau this time.

"The domestic logistics industry determines the development of e-commerce, but our domestic logistics development is still too slow. Now I plan to speed up the domestic logistics development!"

"I plan to invest 500 million for everyone present!"

As you can see from the picture, Xu Cong is now officially planning to invest in several domestic logistics companies with the greatest potential.

On the one hand, it allows future e-commerce platforms to have close cooperative relationships with these logistics companies to facilitate the development of e-commerce platforms.

On the other hand, it relies on investment to promote the development of the entire logistics industry, so that the era of domestic large-scale e-commerce will come faster.

Of course, investing in these logistics companies now will definitely be a profitable business for Xu Cong within the next ten years.
