How to lay pipelines
When you turn on the tap, the water is coming. When the power switch you open the lamp, lamp will light. Although these will be not at all surprising, for you are already be accustomed to. But have you ever thought of, the moment you open the faucet, the water flow down is not just from the tap water in the factory; you turn on the power switch of that moment, in fact, not just from the power station electricity is sent to the electric. Water is the water inside the water, electricity is the electric field effect. They have already paved lines, waiting for you to give him an action, he will give you instant response.
But today, if you buy a commodity on the Internet, you submit payment might have to wait two or three days, until the cargo to you. Sometimes waiting is looking forward to a happy, but I believe, more time is impatient and anxiety. You see something like the clothes in the store on the net, and the price is cheap, you quickly decided to buy it. But when you finish the payment, how is your mood? Maybe another two or three days to go, or can accept. If I give you a choice, can reach 24 hours or half a day! Your mood will change? Your shopping experience will be more to your satisfaction? Unfortunately, now the business model and logistics distribution mode will still make you wait two or three days or more. Only a small part of the goods will be delivered within 24 hours, for example, buy a birthday cake or a bunch of flowers for your girlfriend, the business in that city your girlfriend's agent or warehouse, he can quickly delivered to you. Today I said pipeline is e-commerce logistics distribution mode of the pipeline, the inspiration from a small story I saw today.
The story is like this: there is a farm needs to recruit two water, two are very honored to have this job. They work from a river outside the village take water to farms in the pool, of course they haven't got the car. Two people start with bucket pick, but later one think there should be more simple method. Yes, he found a shortcut, pipe laying. So, one still has been using a bucket of water, and the other one except a day fetching water, also taking the time to the laying of water pipes. At first people don't understand, mocked him as a pipeline for boring. Later, the laying of pipelines is good, he went to rest, water continuously to the pool. Another person, he can carry only a half barrel, because he was old. At this time, people laughed at him is a will only pick barrel man.
The world is changing constantly, you don't change, you will be left behind, the result is eliminated. Or your hard work, but the reward is less and less. Pipeline power is very great, it will source and closely linked to the terminal, improve the efficiency of. Now I am in Hunan, Changsha, if I want to buy a shirt, but electricity in Guangdong Guangzhou, warehouse there. Dealers will tell me, the goods sent from Guangzhou, Changsha three days. Goods from one city to another city distribution methods, and use the bucket to the river inside the water out to a distance away from it in the pond no difference, which obviously can not form the pipeline! It is a must to change the mode of distribution!
Then how the pipeline laying? This is a problem to be solved. I have this idea: if I buy a shirt, if it has a small warehouse in Changsha, it can not be quickly came to my house to Central South University? But someone will say, build a warehouse in Changsha that cost is too high, and in accordance with this model in each city to build the warehouse, it is not worth! But I want to say, this idea is still very old-fashioned. In fact, you don't need their own warehouse, you can rent a warehouse on the line, and then find a proxy. Some people say that this still doesn't work, find an agent to pay, the cost is also high. Yes, this cost is still high! But we want to completely change, is not so simple. I want to say, the warehouse is not only you a person in the warehouse, and the agent is not just one agency. I think this cost may not be so high? Give a simple example, if you want to rent a house, but the house is very big, can put two beds, in does not affect your personal life, you is it right? Can consider to seek a person flat-share with you? So if you are only pay half the rent it! Now, I can still find the warehouse is such, lattice shop. This is a very good as a pipeline warehouse entity. As we know, a lattice shop, divided into many lattices, it is very small, each lattice display different commodities. If you rent such a lattice as your warehouse I think this should be good! The shop owner as your agent, and he is not just your agent, you only need to hire a lattice, the lattice leased to others, he is someone else's agent. We add up to the owner to pay wages, I think this is allocated to each business of the head, the cost should not be very high? Then you in every city rent a lattice, add up to perhaps only have you a store is now so large area. But the benefit is not the same, a, you can start using the logistics distribution slow each lattice fill to reduce costs; two, you increase the user's shopping experience, others would like to you the store shopping, and increase your sales, improve earnings. Of course, the various lattice distribution type and quantity of goods should be much, it needs to pass through the market survey and summarize the experience, which can be obtained by using data mining methods. When a commodity is sold out, you can everfount to fill the grid gap, like water out there, water everfount water filled pipe. This is the pipeline!
Of course, the pipeline laying lattice shop success also need support or similar lattice shop as something better, can be used as a pipeline. Pipe laying is not tell some fantastic tales, it will be a beautiful scenery, is a commercial development, but also for the daily life of people with great ideas and convenient !
