Rebirth in a Perfect Era

Huaxia Railway is currently undergoing rapid development in the current stage. Increasing the operating speed and capacity has always been a difficult problem for the railway department to solve. Therefore, it is the first time, the second time, the third time ... the Nth large speedup in the country.

There are three problems that have plagued Huaxia's railway transportation for a long time. One is insufficient railway operating mileage, the other is insufficient operating speed and insufficient traction load.

On the one hand, the railway department hopes to increase the speed of passenger trains to improve the operating efficiency of existing lines, and on the other hand, it also hopes to increase the weight of single-row traction to achieve freight efficiency.

More than 200 years ago, more than 400 ND5 diesel electric locomotives from GE in the United States have brought huge improvements to the freight transportation of Huaxia Railway. These old and powerful locomotives are still working on existing lines even more than ten years later;

Now, the railway department has come up with the pinnacle of the China Xia internal combustion passenger locomotive-the DF11G diesel locomotive, with the 25T series of car bottoms derived from Canadian Bombardier technology. This set of combinations is the highest before the Huaxia high-speed railway takes off. combination.

According to the information received by Brother Liu, the DF11G of Qishuyan Locomotive Factory has started a large number of offline, and is ready to be assigned to various sections, and the Sifang Bombardier Vehicle Factory's 25T car bottom is also in mass production.

The 25T series includes YZ25T, RZ25T, Y25T, R25T and XL25T. The initial letters indicate their use, such as hard seat, soft seat, hard sleeper, soft sleeper, and luggage.

The bottom of the car suitable for high-speed driving has very high requirements on the bogie. This series of bottoms are designed at a structural speed of 180 kilometers and can achieve non-stop operation at a speed of 160 hours per hour for more than 20 hours.

This data can basically ensure that trains stop from any first-tier city in Huaxia to another first-tier city.

When Li Mu really started to do logistics, he knew how big the capacity was. It was like the bandwidth problem of the Internet industry at this stage. The ceiling was very low and it was difficult to improve.

At this stage, China Civil Aviation is not sufficiently developed, and the total cargo volume of the aircraft belly warehouse is already limited. The total amount is not enough for Taobao Logistics to jam the teeth. Therefore, Taobao Logistics urgently needs a faster transportation channel with large capacity.

Without technological innovations such as the DF11G and 25T undercarriages, if traditional cargo diesel locomotives are used to tow the undercarriage of ordinary luggage, the hourly hourly speed can also reach 80 kilometers per hour, and the most embarrassing thing is that the priority of passenger transport on the wire For freight transportation, freight trains basically go slowly and stop and go. This kind of rail transportation is of little significance to small logistics companies such as Taobao Logistics, which pursues high efficiency.

However, if the railway department can use the DF11G and 25T vehicles to open a special train package for Taobao Logistics and give it the same priority as the direct train, then it can go to its destination unimpeded and improve its efficiency several times at once. .

Therefore, the railway transportation, which was not very attractive to Li Mu, suddenly turned into a fragrant incense in his eyes, which made him all enthusiastic.

In his eyes, this kind of change is like the era when Internet bandwidth was booming. Suddenly one day, bandwidth reached a new height and Youtube was born.

In the eyes of ordinary users, Youtube is just a new way of playing in Internet life suddenly, but in the eyes of practitioners, when the global Internet bandwidth and data computing capabilities can support global netizens to visit Youtube and watch online When they watch the video, they see a whole new era.

However, after all, the railway department is a state-owned department. They have to consider the passenger and freight lines across the country. Therefore, it is difficult to provide customized services for private enterprises under normal circumstances. In other words, although the railway department is so aggressive It is a big problem whether you want to use things for private enterprises.

Therefore, Li Mu asked Brother Liu to issue an oral military order, communicate with the railway department as soon as possible, and strive to win a special express train package for Taobao Logistics.

Moreover, Li Mu's planned route is that in the first stage, he must win Yanjing to Shanghai and cross the Beijing-Shanghai line; then he will win Shanghai to Yangcheng, open the Beijing-Guangzhou line, and use these three cities to connect the eastern part of the mainland. Then open Yanjing to Yudu and Yudu to Shanghai, and connect the central region;

In the second stage, to extend from Yanjing to the Northeast Customs, at least first through Beijing-Shenzhen, then from the west of Yudu, through Changan, and then from west of Shanghai to Rongcheng;

If these two stages can be realized, then the express delivery efficiency of Taobao Logistics in the country will be greatly improved. By that time, even if it is all land transportation, it can also be delivered within 48 hours in all major parts of the country. Delivery within 72 hours.

In the presence of Brother Liu and Master Lei, Li Mu spread out a Huaxia map and used three colored pens to popularize a logistics concept he planned—the concept of a time limit zone.

The red pen represents the 24-hour aging zone;

The blue pen represents the 48-hour aging zone;

The black pen represents the 72-hour aging zone;

Li Muxian used red pens to circle the three cities of Yanjing, Shanghai, and Yangcheng and said to them: "In my eyes, the development of express logistics is the division and expansion of the time limit zone. We have just started When doing this, firstly include first-tier cities in the 48-hour aging zone and radiated surroundings into the 72-hour aging zone. Then, by enhancing the speed and efficiency of trunk logistics between the three cities, first-tier cities are included in the 24-hour aging zone. The periphery of the radiation is included in the 48-hour aging zone; "

"And then, we added more mainline point-to-point transportation. From the first-tier cities to the first-tier cities, the mainline point-to-point was developed. The development from the first-tier cities to the second-tier cities also became the mainline point-to-point, and then to the second-tier cities to the second-tier cities. Become a mains point-to-point, so that you can get more 72-hour time-zones and upgrade to 48-hour time-zones; "

"Further development at this stage will require greater use of aviation to upgrade the point-to-point air transport of the main line, get more resources for the belly cargo warehouse, get more resources for freighters, and even set up our own freighters. team."

When Li Mu mentioned that he wanted to build his own fleet, Brother Liu and Master Lei both looked forward with optimism. They, like Li Mu, were deeply aware of the pain points of the logistics industry, either they did not ship enough or they did not ship fast enough. Therefore, they also know how important it is to the entire logistics system if they have their own freighter fleet.

In the last life, Shunfeng was the first private logistics company to develop its fleet. The development mode of Shunfeng fleet is relatively stable. Starting from two mobile phones, buying one by one, it seems that the purchase of aircraft is too large and the risk is too great. But Shunfeng soon tasted the sweetness of owning its own cargo plane from the fast-growing Huaxia e-commerce field, and then continued to expand its fleet size.

Li Mu also knows that in the future, whether Taobao Logistics is going to sea or not, the fleet must be there. For bulk logistics, they focus on railways and highways at home and shipping internationally, but for small logistics, regardless of domestic Still abroad, aircraft are the main force for victory.

Li Mu said to the two: "In the future, there are two ways to set up airlines and develop our own freighter fleet. The first is to steadily. For example, we first buy two freighters over ten years old, and only two When flying, the long-distance trunk transportation from Feijing to Yangcheng maximizes the advantages of airtimeliness. When there are four aircraft, it circulates between long-distance eastern trunk cities and long-distance western trunk cities. "When there are eight aircraft, we can cover the central region, northeast region, and western region. When there are sixteen aircraft, we can cover more provincial capitals, and even the northwest and southwest borders."

"The second is to hold high. We can use financing, loans, purchases, and leasing to start with at least eight all-cargo aircraft, directly activate domestic hub cities, and then multiply on this basis. "

Lei Jiaozhu said, "General Manager Li, such asset investment may be too heavy. Our current investment in logistics is already very huge, and further development of automation in the future will require more investment."

Li Mu said: "Money is never the most critical issue. The question is whether we can make the best use of it once we start the organic team and once we have eight or sixteen freighters. Taobao has sufficient cash flow and Redundant funds can be used to supply blood to logistics. Makino Technology, as a backup blood bank, is always ready to provide Taobao Logistics with hundreds of millions of dollars in interest-free loans when Taobao Logistics is most in need. The cash reserves here will be more than 10 billion US dollars, enough for Taobao Logistics to move forward at full speed. "

Then, Li Mu said, "Moreover, for logistics transportation, we don't have to buy new aircraft and buy all second-hand aircraft. In this way, the cost can be reduced by more than half."

Lord Lei nodded slightly and asked, "So when do you think it is more appropriate for us to start fleet construction?"

Li Mu said firmly: "Now!"

After finishing ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Li Mu explained: "Now is a good time for Taobao Logistics to shine in the world. It will become a business card for Huaxia companies like Makino. We will announce major decisions at this time. Increasing corporate influence will have the best effect, and now is also the time when we are best to coquettish with the country, express trains must be coquettish, and fleet construction must be coquettish. "

Brother Liu said: "In this case, let's apply for the establishment of Taobao Logistics Airlines!"

Li Mu asked him: "Brother Liu, you have a lot of research on logistics. What are the processes required to set up an airline?"

Brother Liu said, "The most important thing is that the CAAC needs to approve the preparatory establishment. We must first submit an application to the CAAC."

Li Mu nodded and blurted: "Some soldiers are divided into two routes. Some people are responsible for the preparation of the airline, and some people start to prepare for the preparation in advance, including identifying suitable aircraft, pilots, and base airport resources. It is best to start with the current civil aviation system. Dig a group of experienced people out there! "
