Drop baggage, control your own info nodes — that’s the DT era

CategoryReading Notes

Liu Qiangdong himself once said that if JD Logistics didn't exist, he wouldn't be running a loss—and he'd be enjoying the same monthly anguish as Jack Ma: raking in two to three billion yuan.

After all, logistics can simply be outsourced. Once you outsource it, you end up doing what Cainiao does—controlling only the data flow and building an information hub.

Put plainly: focus only on the highest-value work, using the fewest people, while capturing the most profitable slice.

What happens to the outsourced delivery drivers? Whether someone actually pays their social insurance and housing fund is anyone's guess—and it's certainly not your problem either.

JD Logistics has so many permanent employees with full social benefits—if it weren't losing money, that would be strange.

Now you get how this game works: shed the baggage, control the information nodes yourself, and welcome the so-called DT era. #ReadingNotes#
