Li Mu met with Brother Liu and several staff who are responsible for the logistics business all afternoon. The purchase order of the first stage of Taobao Logistics has basically been finalized.
The most important thing in the first stage of procurement is the vehicle, storage, and sorting equipment. Because there is no financially automated sorting equipment, the Taobao Logistics's current first-stage sorting mainly relies on traditional conveyor belts and manual sorting for efficiency. although is not as good as automated equipment, but in terms of early stage, it is the most suitable sorting solution.
Because the government has not given a clear reply, what kind of preferential policies can the Taobao Logistics enjoy in the future, so the Li Mu decided to temporarily control the capital investment a little bit. The demand plan for the vehicles purchased in the first phase is: 60 Heavy Vehicle imports The tractor is matched with one hundred domestic medium-sized cargo trucks and three hundred Iveco light vans.
At present, the tariffs for imported vehicles are divided into several levels. The tariffs for the import of passenger cars are all 25%. Tractors vary greatly according to the tonnage, type and fuel used. That is to say, even Tariffs for gasoline and diesel trucks of the same tonnage are also different. Gasoline vehicles have the highest tax rates and diesel vehicles are relatively low. Taobao Logistics needs to be used to solve heavy-duty tractors for point-to-point transportation. The positioning is high-ton diesel tractors. The current tariff is 21% .
The 21% tariff, if you count the purchase tax, the overall standard has reached 30%, which is already a very large proportion. For Li Mu, if these two heavy taxes can be resolved, Taobao Logistics is used in heavy vehicles. Imports can be greatly improved.
Taobao ’s financial affairs Director also told Li Mu and Liu Qiangdong a situation that the two did not consider before: if it is for daily vehicle imports, it will also involve 17% VAT, which is finally added to the car price. If the government can also waive the 17% value-added tax, the overall tax incentives will be even greater.
Generally speaking, for projects supported by the government, if it involves the import of equipment and raw materials, the government will give certain preferential policies. Tariffs are only one aspect, and import value-added tax is also one aspect.
Value-added tax is collected from customs declaration companies. If Taobao Logistics directly orders with overseas enterprises, then when the vehicle arrives at the customs, Taobao Logistics needs to pay 17% of the purchase tax to the customs at the time of customs declaration. Then, the value-added tax will have to be paid by the dealer and added to the car price, and in the end it must be Taobao Logistics's own responsibility.
However, the government has always encouraged and subsidized policies for companies with far-reaching significance, and VAT is not unprecedented. Most of the VAT concessions are first collected and then retreated, that is to say, when Taobao Logistics declares customs The VAT will be paid as usual at a rate of 17%, but the money will be refunded to the Taobao Logistics corporate account immediately after customs clearance.
Li Mu knows that there is no way to find the leader ’s request to exempt VAT, so VAT can only be seen by the leadership.
If the leaders really value and encourage the development of Taobao, then the value-added tax is afraid not to mention it themselves, they will also think that it does not matter if it is unexpected, tariffs and purchase tax reductions are very important for Li Mu.
However, Li Mu still secretly broke his finger and figured it out. If the government really exempts the purchase tax, the price of imported trucks can be greatly reduced.
If you want to meet your requirements for logistics capacity, the number of heavy-duty tractors responsible for long-distance transportation on the trunk line must reach at least 300, and in the distant stage may reach 500 or even higher, if there are sufficient policy preferences , The funds saved are absolutely over 100 million.
If the money is saved, the automatic sorting equipment can be put on the road ahead of time, so Li Mu asked Liu Qiangdong: "I said last time that you would send someone to Germany to visit Beumer machinery, did you start the arrangement?"
Liu Qiangdong nodded: "A three-person team has been arranged. I just set off a few days ago, and I have already approached Beumer over there, but they have returned information. Beumer seems a bit perfunctory. They do n’t seem to believe A China private courier company will have the ability to automate sorting equipment on a large scale. "
Li Mu was stunned.
"What is the age of the mother, the Germans still wear these colored glasses?"
Liu Qiangdong smiled awkwardly and said, “It ’s not wearing colored glasses, they also kindly received our people, and also took our Renmin to visit their equipment demonstration, but they involved specific customization details. It ’s a little bit unattractive. "
Speaking, Liu Qiangdong said again: "Beumer mainly feels that the China market is temporarily immature, not to mention that the domestic automatic sorting penetration rate is indeed very low. At present, the national express logistics industry is used by our postal brother, Moreover, there are only three sets of equipment in the whole country. At present, a considerable part of the airports in China have not yet realized automatic sorting of luggage. Let alone express delivery, Beumer basically has no customers in China, not even branches. "
"Damn it." Li Mu said annoyedly: "In this way, let them stabilize their emotions first, even if they have a hot face and cold buttocks, they must stick to it. In addition, from now on, let them live in Germany. The best hotel, rent the most high-end car, the car must not be driven by yourself, you must hire a local German driver, daily travel consumption level is also raised, if you invite Beumer people to eat and drink, all use high standards, first spend The money impressed the Germans a little. "
Taobao Logistics people are neglected by Beumer. 80% of them are because they did not let Beumer be aware of the business opportunities that exist. There may also be Beumer's contempt for the China market, but Li Mu no matter what kind of mentality they are from, he The first thing to do is not to allow those sent by him to be ignored in front of the Germans. He has to ensure that even if the Beumer people ignore the market space of China, they ca n’t ignore the splendid posture of several representatives of Taobao Logistics, and then let them reexamine Taobao Logistics Strength.
No company will send a group of people to travel to Germany and consume a lot of travel expenses every day just to pull the calf. Even if it is really for the calf, at least it proves that the company has strong financial strength. The popular point is that there are four words: some are money!
If Beumer can realize this level, they will surely take away the contempt in their hearts and truly regard Taobao Logistics as a big customer in the future.
Many plots are already vulgar in life and film and television works. For example, when customers who wear ordinary clothes enter a luxury store, they will always be scorned and discriminated by waiters. In real life, most waiters although will not Actively find customers trouble, but their eyes are indeed thieves. If there are more guests in the store, they must focus on serving the brightly dressed and seemingly rich guests, so as to actively or passively ignore those who do not seem to be. Like a very rich customer.
Li Mu although ’s ignorance of Beumer is quite uncomfortable, but I also know clearly that their approach as a whole is understandable. Even if I ignore the China market in my heart, the basic etiquette and reception are also there, so what he has to do now is Let Beumer look at the people who sent Taobao Logistics in the past, just like the brightly dressed customers, whichever store they go to, they will be regarded as the most potential customers.
In addition, Beumer is currently the number one enterprise in international logistics automation solutions. Only looking for them can solve all problems at once. They must be paid attention to Taobao Logistics, and it is possible to provide more solutions for Taobao Logistics in the future. .
Beumer has more than just the automatic sorting system that Li Mu is looking forward to. They also have a very awesome solution-a complete solution for automated high-level warehousing.
Automatic sorting system is a solution for express logistics and airline baggage sorting, and the complete solution for automated high-level warehousing is an essential tool for large-scale Hyundai / modern warehousing.
Ordinary warehousing is very weak in terms of space utilization, inventory records, and access efficiency. With the same storage area, the inventory of automated high-level warehousing can exceed the normal warehousing by a maximum of ten to twenty times, and the operating efficiency is much faster. many.
Automatic high-level warehousing, to put it bluntly, the entire storage base all uses tens of meters high multi-layer shelves, the same footprint greatly improves storage space, and the goods are fully automated in and out through automatic sorting system, so warehousing turnover The efficiency has also been greatly improved, and the problem of difficulty in high-level operations is also easy to solve. The automatic access of high-level warehousing can be achieved through automated palletizing system. Jingdong's "Asia No. 1" warehouse is such a fully automatic high-level storage base.
Li Mu and Liu Qiangdong discussed the construction of an automated high-level warehouse base. This cost is indeed very high. From the beginning of the factory building, the cost is several times worse than the ordinary warehouse base, and the price of the entire equipment is even more. Highly outrageous.
However, Li Mu always thinks that automation must be planned earlier, and the cost is high to find a solution. As long as the competitors can make a big step of automation reform in advance, it will not only greatly improve efficiency, but also provide strong competitiveness. If Taobao Logistics If the strength of "SF Express + Jingdong Logistics" can be reached in the next two to three years, then the impact of this foundation on the entire industry will be enormous. In the future, at least 50% of the express delivery market will fall into the hands of Taobao Logistics.
Liu Qiangdong's obsession with logistics is stronger than Li Mu. This kind of high automation is also his most coveted solution. Since the big boss Li Mu also supports it, the two of them are just one shot. A three-stage implementation plan.
The first stage: first get land in the city where the major logistics distribution bases are located, and the area of land to be acquired includes the first stage and second stage projects;
In the first phase, do not rush to build high-level warehouses, only build large-scale general warehouses, plug the sorting center and storage center from Construction logistics together, the sorting center and storage center are semi-automatic, that is, half manpower and half machinery ;
Before the continuous improvement of the national logistics market, the business of Taobao Logistics and the improvement of Taobao ’s self-operated B2C business, and before the capacity of the first stage is about to be fully loaded, start the second stage project in time;
The second phase of the project must first build a large high-level warehouse near the warehouse of the first phase, which is why the first reason to take the land is to meet the basic needs of the first and second phase of the project;
Next, after the construction of high-level storage was completed, all the storage centers that were originally located under the same roof as the sorting center were withdrawn and moved into the automated high-level storage base. In this way, the overall capacity of the storage was greatly improved. The picking center also has more room for improvement and upgrading.
In the third stage, sorting and warehousing are fully automated. By that time, the dual-mode operation of "SF Express + Jingdong Logistics" will be smooth and smooth!
