407 Fengchao Technology
Although Pinduoduo's logistics has been harassed by Santong and Yida, both Alibaba and others have underestimated how high people will demand when products with low prices appear in front of users.
Toutiao, Connotation Joke, and Quxin three major traffic engines jointly provide traffic to Pinduoduo. The big data such as Toutiao and Sogou input method provide user needs and preferences. Pinduoduo pushes products that people may need to users.
After Tiantian Logistics and Pinduoduo's comprehensive cooperation, coupled with Toutiao's targeted traffic drainage through geographical location, it greatly reduced Pinduoduo's demand for remote logistics, and the influence of Santong and Yida's difficulties on Pinduoduo has been minimized.
After Alibaba learned about the cooperation between Tiantian Express and Toutiao, it immediately issued a ban order, and the entire Alibaba-based logistics would not be handed over to Tiantian Express.
Zhang Jisheng naturally did not take this ban seriously. Tiantian Express also wanted to join Cainiao Logistics, but was rejected for various reasons. Before introducing Toutiao Capital, he received very few Taobao orders, most of which were separate merchants slowly developed by local business teams.
Now Pinduoduo has transactions of up to 2 million times a day, which means at least 2 million express delivery is available a day. Although these express delivery cannot be eaten all day, even if it can be taken half of it, it will be enough to make Tiantian Express eat a lot of fat. Not to mention that Pinduoduo is just the beginning, and no one knows the future achievements.
Maybe you can surpass Taobao? Then every day express delivery is enough to be comparable to SF Express. Anyway, it is a dream, so it’s not a loss to think about it.
With the rapid development of Pinduoduo, the downstream express delivery of e-commerce has also been seriously affected, and the industry has begun new changes.
Just as everyone focused on the express delivery industry and the e-commerce industry, a new merchant appeared at the final delivery end of the express delivery, that is, the community express cabinet.
Since half a year ago, property managers from many well-known communities in Shangshanghai, Yanjing, Shenhai and Hangzhou City have begun to receive a visit from a visit called Fengchao Technology Co., Ltd. After learning about it, they found out that they wanted to install express cabinets in their communities.
The property only needs to allocate a public place of more than ten square meters, and then Fengchao provides express cabinets, and Fengchao is also responsible for the wires. In the future, the property company will collect the electricity bills on its behalf.
After learning about the situation, many property managers found that this business model did not harm them. Anyway, there were many empty places in the community, so just rent them to them. As for electricity, it was simpler. Just connect a cable, and you could charge a little more expensive. You can make a small profit. With the credit of tobacco and alcohol, many property companies agreed readily and signed a contract.
The contract has a 15-year deadline and is exclusive. Once the community is signed, unless Fengchao breaches the contract in advance, the community will not introduce other express lockers.
At the same time, Fengchao's procurement team also went to some factories in southern Jiangsu and quickly customized thousands of express cabinets of different sizes.
The program department has also developed the corresponding program within the specified time. This program is not an APP, but is embedded within Quxin.
As long as any user's express delivery product enters Fengchao Express Locker, Quxin will receive a message with a withdrawal code on it, but users can also not care. Before you arrive at the express locker, you just need to scan it with Quxin to open the express locker directly.
By early December, thousands of express cabinets began to enter various communities one after another.
Tiantian Express is the first team to use express cabinets. After the courier puts the express in the express cabinet, he can call the user if he has time. He doesn’t need time, because the user’s interesting news and mobile phones will receive information on this.
Because you no longer have to contact customers to deliver goods to your door, the delivery speed of Tiantian Express at the terminal has instantly increased by several orders of magnitude, and the labor cost has also been reduced a lot.
You should know that the delivery speed of express delivery is not only the speed of logistics vehicles, the early delivery, the efficiency of intermediate warehouses, and the terminal delivery are one of them. The terminal speed has become faster, and Toutiao has specially optimized a lot of program for Tiantian, so that Tiantian Express has no less than three-way and one-way delivery in terms of delivery speed.
This naturally has more advantages for Pinduoduo's user experience, but many users still require express delivery to come to their doorsteps, and many disputes have also arisen.
But the problem of Fengchao Express also appeared soon, because in order to occupy the market in the early stage, Fengchao did not have any income. At this stage, couriers also offered express delivery for free.
Manual + rent + ordering express cabinets quickly began to consume 100 million yuan of the first funds.
However, Toutiao did not immediately inject capital. Instead, Zhou Yujie contacted SF Express’s boss Wang Wei and Wang through some relationships.
Speaking of Wang Wei, he is a legendary figure. He started his career in the Deep Sea City in the 1990s, and dominated the express delivery market in Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta for several years. In the following ten years, he became one of the largest express delivery companies in the country. Because of his high-end route, even if he faced the dimensionality reduction of e-commerce, SF Express is not afraid at all and still develops rapidly every year.
The two made an appointment in a single-family villa in Hong Kong. This is Wang Wei’s asset in Hong Kong. However, it is not in a high-end place like Taiping Mountain, but is located in Tseung Kwan O, with an area of about 600 square meters. According to the market price, it is impossible to get a 1 billion yuan without it.
"Mr. Zhou, are you interested in buying a villa in Hong Kong? Is this the best asset?" Wang Wei said with a smile.
Zhou Yujie shook his head and smiled, "There are only two high-quality assets in Hong Kong. One is the Taiping Mountain Villa and the other is the Central Building. Unfortunately, we missed the golden time, otherwise, it would be enough to last for a hundred years."
If you can be reborn and return to Hong Kong in the 1970s and 1980s and find a way to build several Central buildings, it will be more profitable than an Internet company, and there is almost no risk and no need to operate it.
Wang Wei said: "That's right, but it doesn't matter. With Toutiao's current development speed, if it goes public in the future, it will probably not be lower than Bat. It is not impossible to win a Central Building."
"Maybe it can be taken down, but there is no need." Zhou Yujie shook his head and smiled.
There is indeed room for growth in Hong Kong's housing prices in the future, but the base itself is already too high. When there are other development directions, investing huge amounts of money to buy may not be cost-effective.
Of course, you can also mortgage the property after purchasing it, but it is a waste of energy to do so.
Wang Wei smiled, but did not continue the topic, and said, "Mr. Zhou, why did you ask me out? Is Pinduoduo going to cooperate with me SF Express?"
