Reborn multinational giant

Two days later, President Ma left Yanjing and returned to Hangzhou.

Along with him, there was also Xu Wenbin, an executive who Fang Zhe dug from SF Express. He was appointed by Fang Zhe to go to Hangzhou with Mr. Ma to discuss with Santong Yida and other companies to discuss the preparation of a logistics company.

Xu Wenbin was formerly a senior vice president of SF Express. He has accumulated rich experience in the logistics industry for more than ten years.

After meeting Xu Wenbin, Mr. Ma secretly said that he had followed Fang Zhe's way. If Fang Zhe had already had the intention of entering the logistics industry, why should he dig out senior management and reserve talents early?

In fact, Mr. Ma was right. Fang Zhe digs out Xu Wenbin for the purpose of preparing for the establishment of Fengchao, a company that solves the last mile of express delivery.

Fengchao express cabinet is an intelligent storage device that is laid in residential areas, office buildings and other areas, and is specially used for temporary storage of express, mail and other items.

If the customer is not at home or when it is inconvenient to pick up the courier, the courier can directly deposit the courier in Fengchao, and then the customer can take out his courier from Fengchao at any time.

In the previous life, in 2015, SF Express teamed up with express companies such as Santong Yida to jointly invest in the establishment of Fengchao Technology, and then began to gradually launch and install Fengchao express cabinets across the country.

The appearance of Fengchao express cabinet has greatly improved the delivery speed and efficiency of couriers in the last mile. For customers in the same community, couriers no longer need to knock on doors from door to door as they did in the past. The express delivery of the community is directly put into the Fengchao express cabinet to complete the delivery.

At the same time, for many customers who have no one at work or are inconvenient to receive express delivery, the appearance of Fengchao has greatly improved their express delivery experience.

However, from the perspective of the popularity of Fengchao in the past life, many problems have been exposed. For example, many couriers directly put express delivery into Fengchao in order to save trouble without the consent of customers.

Sometimes the entry rate in Fengchao is very low, most of the cabinets are empty, sometimes there are too many express delivery, Fengchao can't fit it at all, and occasionally some customers forget to pick up the express, resulting in the express stay in the express cabinet for too long , Which seriously occupies the efficiency and resource space of Fengchao.

For these problems, Fang Zhe was involved in chatting with Xu Wenbin to plan the Fengchao system, but these problems have been encountered in the process of popularization after the establishment of Fengchao.

Prior to this, how to persuade express companies such as SF Express and Santong Yida to put express delivery in Fengchao willingly is the most critical and important.

In the end, Fang Zhe’s abacus also hit the logistics company that Ali was about to take the lead in the establishment, which was called Cainiao Network in the previous life and had not yet decided on a name in this life.

Fengchao’s business prospects are unquestionable. Today, the country’s annual express delivery volume is close to 10 billion. In 2018, it exceeded 50 billion in the previous life, and it is still increasing by an annual increase of tens of billions, even if only One-tenth of the express delivery will use Fengchao, which is also 1 billion to 5 billion, billions of pieces.

Assuming a storage fee of 1 yuan is charged for each item using Fengchao's express delivery, that is a turnover of 1 billion, 5 billion, and billions of dollars.

And this is just the most conservative algorithm!

In the current express delivery, one of the biggest unreasonable is the delivery home. Assume that customer A lives on the 1st floor and customer B lives on the 10th floor. Although their courier fees are the same, the courier spends time in the delivery process. The cost is not the same, which is equivalent to customer A sharing the distribution cost for customer B.

Therefore, in the future, after the Fengchao system is popularized, in order to improve the efficiency of delivery, it is an inevitable event that the courier company requires home delivery to charge additional service fees.

Assuming that the delivery to the home will charge 3 yuan more, and the delivery to Fengchao downstairs in the community is free or only 1 yuan, then I believe most customers will choose to use Fengchao.

As a result, as time goes by, the entry rate of Fengchao's system will be higher and higher. If half of the hundreds of billions of express delivery in China in 2025 use Fengchao, then Fengchao's annual turnover will exceed 500 Billion!

This does not include express detention fees, advertising fees and other diversified income. In short, Fengchao's business prospects are limitless!

The imagined prospects are good, but at this stage, in order to promote the Fengchao system, laying Fengchao express cabinets at a loss, and allowing users to use the express cabinets for free are all necessary commercial means. In recent years, including the travel subsidy of Kuaian taxi, I am hungry. What is free delivery, red envelope reduction, etc.

Free for the first time, wait for users to get used to it, and then charge after monopolizing the market. This routine has been tried and tested!

As time entered March, when Xu Wenbin went to Hangzhou for negotiations with Fang Zhegou through many cooperation conditions, Huizhong announced a blockbuster news that shocked the world: the total number of WeChat users worldwide exceeded 1 billion. !

1000000000!What is the concept of 1 billion? The total population of Europe is only 740 million, and the total population of China is nearly 1.4 billion. The global population surveyed in 2012 just exceeded 7 billion.

This means that the total number of WeChat users has surpassed the total number of users in Europe, accounting for seven tenths of the total number of people in China, and one seventh of the total number of users in the world!

One out of every seven people in the world uses WeChat!

terror!Unimaginable horror!

When the Internet was born, people never thought that the number of users of an Internet product could exceed 100 million, but later, Yahoo, Google, QQ and other Internet products have successively exceeded 100 million users.

It was not until later that people raised the threshold to 1 billion. At this point, with the exception of Google's global search engine with more than 1 billion users, other Internet products have gradually reached their ceilings.

One billion, like an astronomical number, is an unimaginable number of users for countless Internet products, but today, WeChat, an Internet product that was born less than four years ago, has passed this threshold.

It's not like QQ or other Internet products. There are a lot of fake accounts with small numbers. It's not like Google search, which can be used when you open the page. You don't need the relatively complicated operation process of registering an account.

WeChat, it is a social software, a mobile social software tailored specifically for smartphones.

The number of users of such a software exceeds 1 billion. While people marvel at the infinite potential of the mobile Internet, they are even more amazed at WeChat, the most dazzling product in the mobile Internet era.

The editor of the New York Times column commented:

"I used to think that the mobile Internet was just an extension of the computer Internet, but now I find that I was wrong.

The mobile Internet era is a greater era than the Internet era, and the WeChat software made by the Chinese is the most dazzling crown of this era!"
