Chapter 1153 (1/2)
Elder martial brother Liu was stunned by Li Mu's 2.1-billion-yuan plan for material storage.
He was not only surprised that Li Muyi would transfer 2.1 billion yuan from the reserve fund pool as soon as he opened his mouth, but also worried about several aspects.
The first worry is that he is afraid that the current storage capacity is not enough;
2.1 billion if he buys electronic products or valuables, he may not be able to use a large storage volume, but the anti epidemic materials Li Mu wants to make are disinfectant, masks, alcohol, gloves or even a part of drugs.
If there is an epidemic situation of infectious diseases, the biggest demand on the market must be disinfectant. The retail price of common 84 disinfectant is about two or three yuan per bottle, 450 to 500 ml per bottle;
if it is purchased in large quantities, it is estimated that the price per liter is about three yuan, 3000 yuan can buy one cubic meter, and this does not count the actual volume of packaging The impact of one cubic meter of disinfectant, if combined with packaging how to also account for 1.3 or even 1.5 cubic meters of space.
Three thousand pieces of 1.5 cubic meters, 30 million can be 15000 cubic meters. If the height of a single product is 20 centimeters, ten layers of stacking is the load-bearing limit of the underlying goods. In this case, the storage area of 30 million goods needs about 7500 square meters;
if 300 million, it can be 75000 square meters;
600 million, it can be 150000 square meters;
What's more, the warehouse has not been automated yet, there is no stacking tool, and the labor cost of ten layer stacking is very high, and the operation is very difficult;
such a large purchase volume, which was originally thought to be very frightening, not to mention that the self-supporting business of Taobao has occupied most of the warehouse storage volume, so the storage margin of the whole Taobao logistics is not large, which will be estimated at 2 billion Before he spent half of the money, Taobao's storage exploded;
the second worry was that he was afraid that Li Mu would flash his back. If Li Mu was too pessimistic about the whole epidemic, he would hoard more than two billion materials in a pessimistic attitude. In case things were not as serious as he expected, what would be done with the two billion materials?
Although these materials are all consumable products, they are not fast-moving products, so the market has been weak for a long time. Under normal circumstances, the production and sales of the market are saturated or even the supply exceeds the demand. If we want to sell these two billion materials at that time, I'm afraid it will be very difficult. At that time, we will probably completely rot in our own warehouse, and these costs will be Taobao by then Carry it by yourself.
Senior brother Liu expressed his two-tier concerns. Li Mu said to him, ”2.1 billion is only the initial plan, and it is likely to be added in the later stage. However, the storage problem is easy to handle. We immediately set up a team to find the available storage resources in the location of our seven major logistics bases, only to have them, and to take them at any cost.”
At first, Taobao logistics established six logistics distribution and storage bases, namely Yanjing, Shanghai, Yangcheng, chuandu, Hanjiang and Liaoshen. Later, because of the extremely hot electronic product transactions in Shenzhen, it built another one in Shenzhen. These seven cities are important logistics hubs. Although Taobao logistics has not enough storage, there are many storage resources in the society, which are complete The urgent need can be solved through leasing;
later, Li Mu said: ”as for the problem of capital risk, elder martial brother Liu, you should not put it in the first place for the time being. This time, we should put social responsibility in the first place. There are risks, but for Taobao, it is not a big risk. The worst result is that more than two billion materials are all in our hands, But the quality guarantee period of this part of materials will not be short. We have time to digest them slowly, and we can make up for some of the losses. We don't have to worry about the rest. Even if we really lose, we can't move our foundation. ”
Elder martial brother Liu nodded softly and said, ”I have no opinion at all about what you said. I just want to say if I can find a way to avoid risks as much as possible. If I can't find it, we should do it with risks on our shoulders. I agree with you!”
Li Mu smiled contentedly and said, ”that's great! Then I'll start to talk about some of my specific ideas. Listen to me, Ziwei. If you have any questions, please stop me at any time. ”
They nodded at the same time and said yes.
Li Mu immediately said, ”first of all, we need to send a business team to communicate with all the regular disinfectant manufacturers in the country, so that they can increase their production capacity in the future, burst out all the production capacity, and produce enough disinfectant for us. However, we must be careful in the operation. In order to be an offshore company, we bought it at home After a lot of shells have been purchased, they will be purchased through these bottom shell companies in order to avoid too much attention from the target; ”
