Related Q&A: Related Q&A: What is the model of rookie network? What profit does it have? At the just-concluded 4th world internet conference Entrepreneur Summit Dialogue, Lin Wan, president of Rookie Network, revealed the model of Rookie Network: "Cooperation in Competition".

"Cooperation in competition" mode

In fact, we need to know a data, that is, in the past two 1 1, 8120,000 logistics orders were generated on the same day, and the rookie and logistics partners basically completed the delivery in just one week. Created a miracle in the history of world commerce and the history of world logistics.

So, what kind of model is this?

Simply put, the rookie network is like a distributor, sharing the optimal allocation of resources of the whole industry and society with its own courier company partners.

What does the rookie network make money from?

Before we know what the rookie network relies on for profit, let's take a look at the business section of the rookie network:

First, warehousing and distribution network services

There are two main modes of warehousing and distribution network services:

1. Use the warehouse of Cainiao. In the future, Cainiao will provide delivery service directly.

Merchants regularly transport bulk commodities to transportation points according to sales volume, and then Cainiao.com is responsible for transporting them to five warehouses in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Tianjin and Wuhan. After the buyer places an order, the goods are delivered from the warehouse nearest to the buyer, and the specialized express delivery enterprise of rookie network is responsible for the terminal delivery. During the period, according to the rookie big data estimate, the merchant will be notified in advance to replenish the goods.

2. Using its own warehouse, the rookie network is only responsible for distribution.

Second, cross-border services.

The logistics coverage capacity of rookie network can reach 224 countries or regions around the world, and the number of cross-border warehouses reaches 74.

1, portal service

Mainly based on e-commerce platform, it provides overseas bonded warehousing, customs clearance and international distribution services for overseas buyers.

2. Outbound service

Alibaba mainly focuses on overseas merchants, providing warehousing, transshipment, customs clearance and final overseas distribution services for domestic goods.

Third, the express service platform.

Cainiao. com integrates the logistics and warehousing resources of its e-commerce platform to face consumers with a unified interface.

An intuitive metaphor is that before the rookie network, consumers and e-commerce need to face multiple courier companies and warehousing companies; With the rookie network, face the rookie network!

Fourth, provide big data analysis and logistics cloud services for logistics enterprises.

1, big data analysis

Promote the electronic face sheet with unified format of rookie network, and provide goods sorting solutions for logistics enterprises with the support of big data of rookie network.

2. Logistics Cloud

Provide a one-stop express logistics system management solution for logistics enterprises, optimize its operation mode, and perfectly fit the rookie network. According to this, we can control the whole logistics industry and enjoy the absolute right to speak.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) rural logistics

Rookie network rural logistics provides coverage in rural areas and goes deep into various towns and villages.

It aims to provide rural residents, township enterprises and rural governments with logistics services of "agricultural products entering the city" or "commodities going to the countryside".

Six, rookie station

Through the rookie station, the problem of insufficient express service capacity is solved as a whole.

Extra capacity

Give a simple example.

A merchant successfully traded a single business, in which 10 yuan was needed in addition to warehousing and distribution, and the gross profit earned by an ordinary courier company was 10 yuan.

However, if this single business costs 200 yuan, the rookie network can increase the profit margin of 10% through its own system turnover and save 20 yuan. Then, the profit margin of rookie network is here in 20 yuan. It is quite different from the gross profit of the courier company 1 yuan.

First, bring a premium to customers through their own capabilities, and then get profits from this premium.

As a masterpiece of express delivery industry, rookie network is a long-term strategy. Although the profit model is not clear, or the money earned is still very small. But once you have the right to speak, it will be a terrible thing. Do you dare to think?
