China Exports Record $5 a Month Global Logistics Support Trillion-Dollar Business

This is a great reversal.

In November 2020, the total value of China's foreign trade exports reached 1.8 trillion yuan, up 14.9%, setting a record high in a single month, and the monthly growth rate was also the highest in nearly 20 months.

China, which was the first to suffer from the outbreak, was the first to emerge from the gloom and export goods and services to the world. From the performance of the export data for the whole of the third and fourth quarters of 2020, we can see that China is trying to lead the world in combating the economic recession caused by the epidemic.

Behind the record export figures lies an even higher level of China's global logistics network infrastructure. For the same cross-border package, the US FedEx charges US $100, but China can deliver it to the world for US $5. One hundred years ago, Jin merchants' dream of "goods all over the world" is now "goods all over the world".

Under China's double-cycle strategy, the cross-border logistics network with private express delivery companies such as ZTO, YTO, STO, Yunda, Best, 4PX, etc. as the main force, is like the "second high-speed railway network", delivering economic kinetic energy to every corner of the world and helping China's cross-border trade to move forward.

The online miracle of empty mulberry ancient city: 70% Heze manufacture sells the whole world

Thousands of miles away from Europe and America, I am afraid that almost few people know that there is a city called Heze in China, but they are likely to have agricultural products from Heze on the table, home with small commodities made in Heze.

Although four thousand years ago, Heze, known as empty multicultural land, gave birth to the first grandmother Huashu in China, but in today's Shandong Province, Heze does not belong to the city with a high level of economic development. For now, however, Heze is rapidly increasing the dynamism of its urban economy through a network connecting the world.

From January to November in 2020, cross-border e-commerce in Heze achieved a turnover of USD 790 million, with a year-on-year growth of 14.7%, gradually becoming the main driving force of Heze's export. So far, more than 340 companies in Heze have exported through platforms such as Alibaba, 40 more than last year.

Heze City with taobao village as the origin, the outbreak of the digital economy of the powerful growth force. Up to now, Heze has 180,000 e-commerce enterprises, 570,000 employees and 51 e-commerce parks, with its GDP ranking among the top 100 in China.

Now, Heze has been upgraded from goods through the whole country to goods through the world. For many overseas businessmen engaged in foreign trade, now Heze of Shandong Province is just like Yiwu, which is a treasure city of commodity trade. Moreover, they don't even need to visit this city, and they can continuously deliver orders through online.

We should know that 70% of "Made in Heze" is sold to the world by cross-border e-commerce, and behind the cross-border e-commerce is a cross-border package network jointly built by domestic and foreign express logistics companies and Cainiao. The domestic part of this network, by Zhongtong, YTO, Shentong, Yunda, Best, 4PX and other express delivery companies responsible for the collection and first transport; In the foreign part, more than 100 logistics partners connect the logistics links of different countries through digital technology, and the distribution range can be to 224 countries and regions around the world.

More than 200 cross-border warehouses, more than 300 cross-border special lines, nearly 200 charter flights per month, the logistics time from China to key countries from 70 days to less than 10 days, which allows Heze and other regions of the country's goods, can be sent to any overseas user's family in a constantly shortened time.

This is the mystery of Heze becoming "online Yiwu". There are many other places like Heze. Besides Yiwu, new e-commerce cities such as Jieyang, Linyi, Langfang and Baoding are emerging rapidly. China's complete industrial belt production capacity is going global, not only for domestic sales, but also for export, to fill the gap in global production capacity.

An export business powered by logistics: $5 to the world

Just like the 9-9-yuan package of shipping on Taobao in China, logistics costs are a key factor in determining the survival of cross-border e-commerce businesses. Therefore, whether the cost can be reduced and the speed can be raised determines the life and death of cross-border logistics.

At present, it takes five days for a 0.5 kilogram parcel to reach London from Shanghai and costs $100, according to Time. But newbies can get it for $5 and hope to get it down to $3 in the future.

Of impression, only with the high value goods to aboard charter flights, the network through a smart technology, make a lot of $5, 10 wallet mail piece of high quality and low price goods such as following, toothpaste squeezer, toilet cover, also on the charter flights, for the small and medium-sized businesses to provide a new export logistics solutions, to reduce the price of cross-border logistics to acme.

Based on smart technology, different orders from the same consumer within the same cycle can be integrated into one large package and upgraded from surface mail to direct air mail. The delivery time can be cut in half, without any increase in shipping costs for merchants, and without the compensation disputes that were caused by the lack of logistics details.

It also allows overseas consumers to cut down on waiting times and avoid the hassle of multiple packages. A Russian web celebrity who found five orders he had bought were combined into one package posted a video on social media saying, "The combined package invented by the Chinese is amazing".

Russia "shopaholic" of the devil is not worse than Li Jia Qi's fans.

Chen Peng, an exporter, is happy to see that the warring nations are also buying, especially Chinese goods. Due to the underdevelopment of Russia's light industry, a large number of daily necessities have to be imported. Meanwhile, the country's consumers have also popularized the habit of online shopping, with 90% of consumers shopping online daily.

In the Russian "chopping hands" preferred goods, small toys, small handicrafts and other categories are more popular. Therefore, Chen Peng has been "specializing" in the case business in Russia in recent years, selling tens of thousands of mobile phone cases a year through AliExpress.

However, as surface mail continues to rise in price, the logistics cost of a mobile phone case sent to Russia will be 10 yuan, catching up with the cost of the mobile phone case, the postage can lose to 100,000 yuan a month, how can this be accepted?

This new cross-border e-commerce route "Super Economic Special Line", built by the cross-border package network, reduced the logistics price of delivery to Russia to 4 yuan, bringing Chen Peng's business of 10 yuan back to life.

Overseas Warehouse and Charter Airline: China's cross-border parcel volume has become the world's leading

An express parcel from Huanggang, Hubei province, to Changsha, Hunan province, became the 80th express parcel in 2020, setting a new record in the history of express delivery in China, according to the real-time monitoring of the China express big data platform of the State Post Bureau on Dec 21.

You know, in the last few months, we've pressed the pause button on the economy. But 80 billion yuan is not all of China Express.

In terms of globalization, the transport capacity of China's express logistics industry has maintained a rapid growth. Data from the international logistics industry show that the daily transport volume of Cainiao's cross-border logistics is on a par with that of FedEx, DHL and UPS.

The speed of cross-border express delivery has also amazed a growing number of overseas consumers. Alejandro, a 35-year-old Madrid resident, received a Chinese product he bought online in half a day in 2020, which was delivered directly from Cainiao's overseas warehouse in Spain.

Relying on this logistics system, the compression of logistics costs and the improvement of time, so that the advantages of Chinese manufacturing have been reflected again. Many small and medium-sized enterprises have bucked the trend.

It is based on the logistics facilities set up by China Express in the world, including private express enterprises, customs clearance enterprises, overseas warehouses, e-hub of eWTP, overseas distribution partners, etc., that the global intelligent logistics backbone network is formed, which provides matching distribution efficiency for the quality blowout of export goods in 2020.

The continuous investment of China's express delivery industry in the global layout has enabled the concept of "global village" to be realized and upgraded from the previous online global information connection to the offline global commodity express connection.

Known as the "second high-speed rail network", China's express delivery is cheap and convenient, which not only guarantees the strong consumer demand in the domestic market, but also directly increases the re-purchase rate of overseas consumers on cross-border e-commerce platforms, bringing more orders to Chinese enterprises.

From serving China to connecting the world, as far as the eye can see, demand for goods from China, the only major economy with positive growth, will accelerate as the ongoing global epidemic brings economies to a standstill.
