SF Status: pressure and attemptThis is an era of soaring express industry, but in recent years, courier industry is also beginning to show a different situation, is no longer the previous threshold is low, investment, long cycle and so on. A vice president of the SF Group, said: 'courier industry in recent years has begun to become a light-asset business asset-heavy, high-tech industries.' He said, with the current growth in business volume SF, SF various management and control systems We have been constantly improved, has been upgraded using the fourth-generation systems. If the Chinese express delivery market compared banquet table, Dawa described as: 'This is a very, very large tables meal, eat not finish, do not rush.' But the reaction tough growth of China's private express delivery companies is to eat a little less cool. He believes that the future of China's express delivery industry is to fight to the last service, and the current conflict is an existing courier companies can not meet the market demand, most companies only stay in the low-price competition stage, far from technology and service . Reporters from the pros learned a postal system: 'China's express delivery market has at least 100 billion US population of 300 million, total delivery is 8 billion a year, we will exceed 4 billion this year, the ability to turn one. Fan to reach US levels, the current license issued by the courier company is 8000. 'Challenges facing the express industry naturally can not be ignored, along with the SF company of this size is large enough. As Dawa concluded the same: 'The main contradiction of the express industry in recent years is the service capacity can not meet market demand.' 'China Express Development Report 2011-2012' released data show that the first half of 2012 the volume of business express delivery services business grew 51 %, annual business volume is expected to reach 4.8 billion, revenue is expected to break through 100 billion yuan for the first time. Growth rates have been rising showing the growing prosperity of the industry, but this set of data does not make Wang Wei slightly pleased, because he cares about corporate profits have not gone up, the cost of upgrading being squeezed profit margins even more be smaller. 'Get our hands on very thin margins, more and more thin.' China Logistics Association executive director Liu Jianxin analysis, rising operating costs are difficult to express the whole industry is facing. First, labor costs, courier companies is labor-intensive enterprise, prices 5% -8% annual rate of rising labor costs to more than 5% growth rate. A person in charge of the operation, said Zhang SF, SF clutch big stall 150,000 employees livelihoods, this pair is apparently becoming increasingly heavy burden. Followed by rising oil prices, logistics and express themselves burning oil line of business, while oil prices 15% rate of growth. Furthermore is the surge in the cost of land, the amount of land logistics center and distribution center is very large, but buying an acre of land from the past fifty thousand now risen to hundreds of thousands or even millions. Rent SF Beijing several distribution centers from the two or three million in 2001, rose to the current 300,000, up 10 times. Companies to join the system this burden should be lighter, but Air Jordan 4 insisted Direct SF for this is not around the past heavy investment assets. Not only that, coupled with the increase in taxes, the cost of business management, information systems and other inputs, these hard costs become hard growth companies can not solve the problem. Faced with the enormous cost pressure, SF is not without considering price hikes, price increases two years ago SF per 500 grams. But 1% price increase of 5% Nike Air Max 90 Hyperfuse in the face of rising labor costs speed, oil prices rose 15% speed and 10 times the speed of land prices seem so insignificant. Dawa said: 'Two years ago up one or two rational regression, not yet fully in place in the postal sector in the delivery of high-end service, the service is a cost, what services in respect of what means the price, the next step you want to upgrade, you must. To boot with a path leading to quality of service pricing. for SF, the challenges do not stop there. China 600 million people throughout the online shopping to buy things, total shipments this year nearly 5 billion, of which more than half are from the electricity supplier. Wang Wei has I realize that there is no e-commerce this business, mean the industry will be discarded. 'Stone one of' 80 percent of its business comes from Taobao, and SF's e-commerce business accounted for more than 10% less than in the interview a Bit industry veteran, he determined that the SF is too late to cut into e-commerce. 'SF has not cut into this one, it is now also want to cut, but has been cut does not go, because the 'Stone one of' is almost divide finished. 'Side to beat domestic rivals, maintaining the status to make moves, Wang Wei while also resist FedEx, UPS express two foreign menacing reached. The latter is the larger and more lethal undoubtedly not be ignored, because SF the high-end market could not escape the fate of being eroded and diversion. Asked what the current development of the industry SF biggest bottleneck is, the answer is money. One solution is to bank loans, which private brand name of SF is not easy Another way is to market, Wang Wei is also very much the concerns he had privately talked chat and Liu Miao listed issues, Wang Wei worried that financing market, the company will have some pressure on profit forced to make that do not meet long-term development of decision-making; on the other hand, from the management team in terms of money once more on the possible emergence of impulsive feeling all these years, there are investors who are always looking for Wang Wei, but Wang Wei or not seen, or declined an industry. even believe that as Wang Wei of Hong Kong people on the mainland policy is blurred, or that he is wary of. In fact, SF interior, especially in the last two years with the company's business volume rose for every one link in high-speed operation, the pressure toward everyone Nike Free Mens in the building close to the airport customs are eight good luck new year moved call centers, in the hallway, a female employee towards nine, said:. 'Our House On home 'wolf' (referring DHL). 'Yang Feng confessed internal pressure is very great:' For now the Air Jordan 12 courier industry, the situation at home and abroad, we are still very sense of crisis, and now the costs are rising, increasingly slim profit margins, going out too hard, foreign express delivery companies monopoly strong, good luck as they would a strong competitor, will continue to pressure. The SF Early in foreign investment has been a lot of investment money, do not exist to make money. 'Dawa think, SF falling profits and Direct also has a causal relationship. The reason is that most money Direct investment in distribution centers, and distribution centers in each province at least 200 acres of land, in addition to the plant, computer systems, machinery and equipment, the number of labor costs and so on. 'The phone like a key control naturally good and bad, how to take advantage obviously not a simple matter. 'Worry plus in the new attempt of foreign aggression, both want and do not want to, Wang Wei have to make some necessary adjustment from the' 24 pieces 'to SF preferably, from convenience stores to treasure SF, SF has footed, and it hopes to traffic , capital flow and logistics third-rate one, and embark on a path different from other express delivery companies. undeniable fact that SF has been difficult to direct 'cut' blue ocean in the electricity supplier. in August this year, announced the launch of the first SF Economics Express products, '24 pieces', mainly for land side of the business, for off-site delivery, including cosmetics, CDs, milk, electronics and other aviation channels can not be posted and delivered category are available '24 pieces of' Send outside world once commented SF move intended to wrest from Stone one up 20% -30% by weight of the price of light aging clients into his own. 'Wang Wei in-depth understanding of the postal industry, appreciate the 2015 Latest Nike Shoes level of market demand. 'Dawa evaluation 24 members are to express market segments products. In fact, the upgrade of this product is based on continuously enrich the land resources, aviation and distribution of a supplementary empty area. In this case, strengthening advantage competitive field may be a more effective development. Although in SF Express has become a leading brand in the field, but equally impressive profit Taobao position, its business volume only less than 10% of the total business volume of SF, while the other A fact is, 'Stone one of' virtual monopoly Taobao sellers express the amount of 90%. Moreover, with the 'four-way one up' as well as other small and medium sized delivery gradually began to join the reform turn Direct, and the leader SF Gap-speed transport is gradually shortened, if we do not have good luck, power and the future will undoubtedly be greater involvement of difficulty. Two years ago, the SF has been testing the waters of e-commerce. in August 2010, 'SF E Circle' put into operation, however, the project subsequently ceased operations in the Mainland, currently only operates in Hong Kong. Wang Wei had many people ask, why has not formally launched again to turn off the electronic business platform. Wang Wei Consider, first, SF expand existing business enough to do it. Secondly, electricity supplier logistics business mostly low end, by the price war to win, and good luck in business has been a walk in the high-end positioning, while its high-end positioning strategic market and today's 'preferred SF' is quite similar. Wang Wei and Dawa had privately discussed the preferred platform to build something. 'He asked me okay, I say not a bad idea, as long as your network can do, can the industry extension of the upstream and downstream chain. Electricity providers and express all aspects of integration. Either express or electricity supplier, can see their money close to the extension cord. 'Dawa think Wang Wei do electronic business judgment and positioning both born and raised in Hong Kong and its environment in recent years, he saw a large number of needs of this market.' SF is the original intention of doing e-commerce, SF preferred not Forced upstream downstream extrusion, nor is it a rebound, but to be able to make a healthy and secure network platform selling imported food. 'SF preferred president Wang Wei Liu Miao accompany discarded into the sea adventure career in the industry view, SF targeting high-end market is a smart move, because China's competitiveness in the high-end e-commerce market is very small, this part of the consumer price sensitivity is low, a larger market space, which can lead to higher added value for the SF, while Wang Wei the electricity supplier market in a game of chess under, seemingly rapid, but in reality over a long period of consideration. Xu Yong opinion, Wang Wei is not the most sensible thing to do on the original platform electricity supplier, in accordance with international practice, to diversify extend professional basis, must be resolved. 'The reason why the transformation of home delivery failed because then in a different operating platform up diversified products, the advantage is to split the main industry will not be affected. 'For good luck, the Express is the main industry, SF preferably only a sub-brand, the advantage lies in the early first use of the SF brand to expand the preferred market, once the preferred brand of failure nor will express the main business impact. But There are some views that the SF neither the experience nor the retail electricity business experience, whether it is a convenience store or SF preferably, are just tentative pace, if they fail to withdraw. Try not put too much meaning, just leave, and Transition presages a major cross-border express delivery industry from the current master of the situation, SF opened in Beijing 'SF shop' within a few months of time already closed some convenience services. preferred aspect, the logistics subsystem SF with a large network is independent of the two systems, and did not say good luck using existing logistics base and network. whole preferred burn operation is required, Liu Miao said the original plan was in Beijing this year after the opening of business, Next, in Shanghai, Guangzhou began to take drastic measures to accelerate the rate of expansion, but the SF preferred line for months and did not get the results he imagined. 'somewhat frustrated, I thought with SF brand, preferably on-line performance, at least not what it is today Now look at the entire investment is to have a certain control and rhythm. 'Before the preferred on-line, Wang Wei had specially from Shenzhen to Beijing, to the preferred executive meeting, he repeatedly stressed:' SF is preferably not failed projects. 'Listen Wang Wei talked SF preferred people are convinced that this is not just a simple try.' Because Wang Wei is very frugal, not such a waste. 'With Dawa words to describe each of the money spent on what Wang Wei, his own sense of propriety,' To my knowledge, he also made repeated demonstration of market research. SF meeting is to eat lunch, costing well. Costing state-owned companies like Chinese food, who ate what food to eat is not clear how many, like Wang Wei Enterprise Management eat Western food, who's plate number, how much to eat, are crystal clear. 'Wang Wei is obviously a great sense of crisis, in addition to the four movements, SF distribution in overseas markets has already started, which have opened in the United States, Southeast Asian countries receiving express mail business. But SF is considered international unknowable future internationalization compared with FedEx and UPS and other global enterprises, SF just a fledgling, fledgling. objective reality is that the current terms of the biggest competition for good luck, does not come from foreign investment, but the entire market competition is not standardized, low-cost competition, vicious competition, as well as laws and regulations lag. On the one hand is facing SF malicious market competition, prices can not rise (peers are relying on low-cost), companies have to develop new markets, cost high, naturally difficult but most domestic express delivery companies in order to be able to rely on low-price competition, are not required by law to pay the necessary expenses, such as employee social security, which is relatively unfair terms SF; second, relevant laws and regulations lag, poor market environment, such as express delivery vehicles into the city difficult now, parking is difficult and hard into the campus, into the community difficult. The third is the courier for compensation law is not always clear. In order to respond to market Nike Blazer Unisex changes, diversified on the road to development, good luck and a lot of Nike Lunar Womens pay. This year is obviously particularly active year for good luck. But transboundary easy cross-border difficult, for good luck, whether it is electricity supplier or international, are difficult to imagine. a Bit SF executives said, a series of actions this year are the boss SF layout are also try, as a result of how tentative, very hard to say.
