Zhejiang is breaking through the impact of a continuous and far-reaching epidemic.
The logistics industry is undoubtedly an ideal aspect to observe the health of urban economy . It is related to all aspects of economic production and goes deep into every corner of urban life.
4, this was one of the few peaks in demand in the logistics industry in the first half of the year, but this year, the situation is completely the opposite.
Some financial media quoted the road freight index of the intelligent logistics platform G7. The data shows that the Zhejiang freight flow index continued to be negative throughout April, and this is already the least affected by this round of epidemic among the Yangtze River Delta regions.
Fortunately, the situation has gradually stabilized since early May. G7 data shows that in the second week of May, the "National Road Freight Index" overall rose 16.7% month-on-month. The rebound in highway logistics data indicates that economic production and supply chains are back on track.
Logistics "break through"
ZTO Express The little brother Tian Xuebiao drove a 17-meter van and experienced the ups and downs of freight logistics in full.
In the past four or five years, Tian Xuebiao's transportation route has been traveling back and forth between the two cities of Hangzhou and Suzhou , basically one-sided trip every day. But starting from April, this route that he was so familiar that he could not be more familiar with was suddenly full of variables.
Especially after the outbreak of the epidemic in Shanghai, control measures on truck traffic have been upgraded around Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, and some highway sections have been closed one after another, and highway inspection points have been set up, causing logistics obstructions between cities.
What Tian Xuebiao saw was a large truck lined up with red brake lights in front of the toll station entrance. It was a partner of the same fleet, and some people had not met for more than half a year.
and fed back to the logistics terminal, consumers clearly feel that the speed of express delivery has slowed down significantly. The original one-day delivery and the next day delivery have become three-day delivery, and a week later...
Some netizens complained that the spring clothes bought in March arrived in early summer. The backstage is a long logistics round trip record that travels to many places, constantly sanitizing, and is returned to the original place.
industrial cluster is forced to bear pressure
"Just just vacate 40 square meters of space for an old customer." Debang courier Wang Xiaohui said that due to the impact of the epidemic, the freight in the customer's factory could not be shipped, and there was no place to put the finished products that had just left the production line, so he had to ask for help from cooperating express companies.
The impact of poor material circulation is being transmitted to the industrial field. The guys are the ones with the most keen feelings.
Equipment manufacturing is one of the three leading industries in Deqing, Zhejiang. In line with this, Wang Xiaohui’s Debang Express Huzhou Deqing Xingshan Road outlets usually receive construction machinery goods, which are called “heavy goods” in the logistics industry.
Affected by the epidemic, freight logistics transportation time has been extended, transportation capacity has decreased, fuel costs have increased, and the overall cost has increased significantly.
Wang Xiaohui’s intuitive feeling is that there is not enough warehouses. The heavy goods that were originally flowing very quickly began to accumulate in the warehouse. Some customers requested temporary storage, and some were unable to ship the goods due to epidemic control. They had to calculate the heavy goods of all sizes and sizes, compactly stack them.
"I'm not afraid of hard work, what I'm afraid of is that I have no work to do." Wang Xiaohui said bluntly that due to the impact of the epidemic in March and April, his income shrank by half.
Resuming work and production experiences pain
At the same time, Fang Lijun is experiencing the "pain period" of resuming work.
html Starting from March 6, major markets around Hangzhou Sijiqing will be suspended. The merchants' business stopped, and the couriers who delivered goods to the merchants had to rest, and Fang Lijun was one of them.Yuantong Express Qiutao Road Station is separated from Sijiqing all the way. Looking at the crowded market, it was suddenly empty, he felt uncomfortable.
Fang Lijun is mainly responsible for the collection and delivery of the four-season Qing Laohanghang Market. The number of orders per day exceeded 1,300 votes, but it has been zero in the past half month.
From March 19, major markets of Sijiqing have resumed work one after another. On the first day, Fang Lijun couldn't wait to go there - there was almost no customer in the entire market.
"I have never seen the scene of Sijiqing so deserted."The vigorous spirit seemed to disappear all of a sudden. In the first week of resuming work, the popularity in the market was still not strong, but the number of delivery items began to slowly rise.
After a week, it returned to about 30% of normal.
has resumed work for nearly two months, and the order volume has rebounded by about 60%.
Fang Lijun began to adapt to the new work rhythm: the trucks that originally sent two shifts a day, now two shifts are working one; the Sijiqing Market, which was originally closed at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, is often busy until eight or nine o'clock in the evening. "In order to save costs, merchants have also reduced their manpower, and the corresponding packaging and delivery are slow. "What should I do if I do? I can only persist and find a way.
Fang Lijun said that he had anxiety and loss, but never thought of giving up, just like his customers. They all believe that Sijiqing can recover from the crowded appearance of people from the past, and believe that the epidemic will not destroy the world.
makes every effort to ensure the supply of people's livelihood
From 00:00 on April 23, Zhejiang Province has launched a national unified "Pass for Transportation of Key Materials Vehicles".
On the same day, Tian Xuebiao received the first national unified key material transportation vehicle electronic pass reviewed and issued by Zhejiang Province, valid until May 22, 2022. "This means that within this month I can travel between Suzhou and Hangzhou, so that this transportation guarantee line connecting the two cities can run "faster". "Tian Xuebiao said this made him feel much more at ease.
From the performance of the execution, "passing the certificate" has indeed accelerated the inspection speed, and the slowed express delivery has been accelerated again. National Post Bureau monitoring data shows that during the May Day holiday in 2022, 1.34 billion express parcels were collected nationwide, and increased by 32.3% year-on-year; 1.47 billion express parcels were delivered, an increase of 19.7% year-on-year.
May 5, Yiwu lifted Level 2 emergency response , and Wei Yongkang's Yunda Yiwu Distribution Center was then lifted closed management. This distribution center with huge throughput is open all year round and does not stop 24 hours a day. Wei Yongkang alone handles more than 600,000 tickets per day. On April 14, Wei Yongkang and his colleagues took their suitcases to work. On that day, they began to enter a 21-day closed management, just to control the impact of the epidemic to the maximum extent and ensure the package. Smooth circulation.
Jin Bayuan also restored his original working rhythm. He went out at 7 a.m. every day, unloaded goods, processed parts, and delivered, had two hours off at noon, got off work at around 6 p.m., and the daily delivery volume was stable between 180 and 260 pieces.
This is a digital interval that makes him feel at ease.
On April 23, Gongshu District launched a level 2 emergency response, and Jin Bayuan's workplace of rookie direct delivery site just in place At the junction of Gongshu District and Xihu District, the number of orders placed by users suddenly doubled within a few hours, and continued to rise. The number of delivery items delivered per day exceeded four or five hundred orders for 7 consecutive days. Almost all the delivery capacity that
company can all be all released. He suddenly realized that the rice, flour, grain, oil, milk, and mineral water he carried every day also means a sense of mental security for the recipient.
"The amount of delivery items has stabilized, which means the epidemic has been controlled, right? "This is the simple understanding of every courier.
Yu Chao rented a shop near Kangshengyuan, Gongshu District, and opened a Cainiao Station . The station is Linping District across the street. Because the express companies are mostly concentrated in Linping and Yuhang , this time, after the suspension of business due to the epidemic, the number of orders at Yu Chao's site increased by three times. All of them resumed their posts and took three days to deliver all the express delivery backlogs in the station.
Zhejiang has stabilized.
for 17 years, Zhang Jianping has never been so intensively dealing with the relevant system and processes of epidemic prevention and control like in the past two years, and has to face a massive amount of information collection every day.
" process is becoming smoother. "Zhang Jianping said that since the end of April, employees of the express logistics industry, as a key group, have been included in the Zhejiang Government Affairs Network Material Defense Online for system management. "Because it is necessary to cooperate with the flow investigation, we will check relevant operators, couriers, etc. as soon as possible. Now the path of each package is in the system, and the inspection is faster. ”
He believes that as the industry's informatization level becomes higher and higher, emergency management in special periods can also become efficient.
breaking through the last kilometer
Today is the 38th day of Li Xiaoming's support for supply in Shanghai, and his work has not stopped.
38 days ago, Li Xiaoming, as the first batch of JD couriers to support Zhejiang, set off from Hangzhou to support Shanghai to ensure supply. At that time, Shanghai entered the entire region with static management, and all communities had been closed for more than a week.
Before aiding Shanghai, he worked at the Hangzhou Xiasha site in JD Logistics for 8 years. He thought he had enough experience to deal with various situations, but found that they still underestimated the complexity of epidemic prevention.
Due to the long closure period, there are a lot of backlogs of parts on the site, and the concentrated residence of the young man who aided Shanghai is more than ten kilometers away from the delivery station, so he can only use electric vehicles to deliver and the transportation capacity is insufficient. "Every time, the car bags, body, and large baskets behind the car are filled, because the gifts are rice, flour, fresh food, milk, tissues and other daily necessities, I just want to give as much as possible." I made antigen twice a day, and changed the accommodation multiple times for various reasons... In Li Xiaoming's opinion, these difficulties are not difficult. The most fear is that it rains heavily, because it will greatly reduce the efficiency of delivering items.
From May 16, Shanghai announced the promotion of resumption of business and market in stages.
Li Xiaoming's work has not stopped. Looking at the express delivery orders delivered every day, he finally saw the changes: in addition to daily necessities, there are also computers, USB flash drives, data cables, and auto accessories...
"I feel that it should be getting better slowly." He never regretted his decision to join the Shanghai support team, and was eagerly looking forward to returning to his job at the Xiasha site. "We are all working hard to do the right thing, no matter how small the strength is, we must give a little effort and shine."
[Let's hold a festival for the Chinese guys who are running hard]
The guys have been running hard.
We have been thinking about what can we do for them?
According to data released by the State Post Bureau, the number of express delivery personnel has exceeded 3 million. With the rise of the electronic logistics industry, this team of new industrial workers that match it is also growing rapidly and full of vitality.
Zhejiang Province is a major express delivery province with more than 300,000 express delivery personnel. In 2021, the express delivery business volume exceeded 23 billion pieces. Among the 50 cities with the highest business volume in the country, there are 8 in Zhejiang.
We follow the young man, which is due to Qianjiang Evening News' consistent attention to the general population, and the economic production, people's livelihood, and the fireworks of the world they are connected to.
From now on, Zhejiang Daily Group and Zhejiang Provincial Postal Administration will officially start.
The preparation period for the past two months is also a period of tense epidemic situation in the Yangtze River Delta region. Qianjiang Evening News reporters use records with individual emotions to continuously enrich the description of the couriers; they also try to start from different perspectives to express the most sensitive nerve endings of the real economy and the most vivid subtle changes in consumer life that they touch.
These words with sweat and the salty and sweet taste of life will be published in Qianjiang Evening News in different forms.
Transformation in an era is taking place.
We hope that with the "First Brothers Festival (China·Zhejiang)" as the prologue, while giving the boys specific and limited material care, we can also slightly touch on their needs outside their livelihoods, such as spiritual needs, planning for career prospects, and how to build a calm contemporary value of workers - this is a challenging topic.
is worth asking repeatedly.
