188bet is the "merid" of the real economy, connecting production and consumption, and is related to people's livelihood and development. Reducing the 188bet costs of the whole society can "relax the muscles and promote blood circulation" for economic development.

The "Action Plan for Effectively Reducing Logistics Costs in the Whole Society" issued in November last year proposes that by 2027, the cargo transportation structure will be further optimized, and the proportion of 188bet freight and 188bet freight turnover will strive to increase to about 11% and 23% respectively, and the port container rail-water transport volume will maintain rapid growth.

With the implementation of the special action to reduce logistics costs in the whole society, what new measures have the 188bet department introduced and what are the benefits of reducing logistics costs? The reporter conducted an interview.

One kilometer in front and behind the factory area and store——

The 188bet "free shipping" saves effort

Ordos City, Inner Mongolia, on the special line loading line of Yitai Guanglian Coal Chemical Co., Ltd., a C800,000-ton train loaded with coal is ready to depart and is about to head to Caofeidian West Station in Tangshan, Hebei.

"This year, we signed a year-round logistics general contracting service with Yitai Company, and have shipped a total of 2.3315 million tons." said Zhang Bin, director of the marketing department of Baotou 188bet Logistics Center, Hohhot Bureau of the National 188bet, said.

For Yitai Company, from the mine entrance to the coal stove in the power plant, the full-chain logistics services such as automobile transfer and 188bet transportation experienced by these coal are undertaken by the 188bet department.

The 188bet "free shipping" sounds simple, but it is an important reform of the 188bet department.

The biggest advantage of 188bet transportation is its large transportation volume and low cost, but outside the 188bet trunk line and freight station, the short-distance connection between the factory area and the store has become a bottleneck for "road to rail". "Don't underestimate this 'one-kilometer'. Each one-way short-barge transportation means an additional loading and unloading, which involves a lot of materials, labor and possible losses." Zhang He, deputy director of the Marketing Department of Baotou 188bet Logistics Center, Hohhot Bureau of the National 188bet, introduced.

In the past, the 188bet department was only responsible for trunk transportation. Nowadays, after promoting logistics general contracting, the 188bet department will tailor the best logistics solutions for customers, solve the problems of short-distance transportation, and provide storage, loading and unloading, handling, packaging and other services, thereby achieving the effects of "door to door", "production line to production line" and "factory-station-kuan-distribution store" and helping customers reduce the cost of comprehensive logistics service.

Not only that, relying on logistics general contracting, the 188bet department has also optimized the internal freight organization. In the past, cargo transportation involved loading and unloading, dispatching and other departments. It usually took about 4 days from submitting the cargo transportation application to departure. After the implementation of logistics general contracting, the 188bet department will implement a unified office within the joint office, and there will be personnel monitoring each operation link to ensure that the goods are shipped within 1 day.

Itai Company has a deep impression of this. This year, Yitai Company has issued nearly 3 million tons of ships, with an overall transportation time of 10% and a reduction of comprehensive 188bet costs by about 20%.

Data from 188bet Group showed that a total of 655 logistics contracts were signed in the first five months, with a contracted transportation volume of 979 million tons. Taking the Hohhot Bureau of the National Railways as an example, it has signed a "total-to-to-to-to-to-large" logistics general contract with Baotou Steel, China Coal and other enterprises, signed 68 logistics general contract projects, and locked the contract transportation volume of 114.88 million tons.

"Locking the freight volume in advance will help us arrange freight transportation in advance and improve the efficiency of line use." Du Hui, a staff member of the Freight Department of the National 188bet Hohhot Bureau, introduced that thanks to this, in the first five months, the cargo shipment volume of the National 188bet Hohhot Bureau reached 111.23 million tons, an increase of 11.438 million tons year-on-year.

"To carry out logistics general contracting business is to maximize the network advantages of railways and the production capacity advantages of enterprises, reduce logistics costs and improve logistics efficiency." A relevant person in charge of the Freight Department of the 188bet Group said.

From 188bet to sea transportation—

"One order to the end" crosses mountains and seas

Fuzhou Port, Fujian Province, with blue sky and blue sea, and the crane operation is busy. A train departed from Zhangshu Station in Jiangxi and a 188bet train carrying 36 cabinets of industrial salt arrived at Gangqian Station successfully. After the goods are unloaded, they will be transferred to Yingkou Port in Liaoning by liner.

"Different from previous modes of transportation, this batch of goods has achieved a 'one order system' from 188bet to sea transportation." said Bu Fanhua, marketing manager of the logistics business department of the Nanchang Bureau of the State 188bet.

"Multimodal transport 'one order system' is a concentrated reflection of the smooth flow of things." Bu Fanhua introduced that "one order system" refers to the integrated 188bet service model of one-time entrustment, one order to the end, one box to the end, and one-time settlement of the shipper during the entire process of multimodal transport of containers.

However, it is not easy to implement the "one-order system".

Unified standards are the prerequisite. The key to realizing the "one-order system" of multimodal transport lies in the system connection and data circulation between 188bet transportation and water transportation. There are many difficulties in this process.

"To give a simple example, it is also a coconut juice beverage. In the railway system, the goods are called coconut juice and in the shipping company's system, and if the names and standards are different, data docking cannot be achieved." Feng Yibin, director of the multimodal transport department of 188bet Container Transport Co., Ltd., said.

To this end, the 188bet department has built a new sea shipping booking system to provide "translation" function, solving the problem of mutual recognition of basic data such as tens of thousands of cargo names and port terminal names.

Reform quotations are the key. The outstanding feature of the "one order system" is to achieve one order to the end and one settlement. In order to adapt to the quotation needs under the "one order system" conditions, the 188bet department changed the past post-quotation to real-time quotation, so that users can clearly see the transportation price when choosing a transportation method.

At the end of February this year, 188bet Group signed a cooperation agreement with four shipping companies, Zhonggu Logistics, Xinfeng Maritime Transport, Antong Logistics and Pan-Asia Shipping, and jointly carried out the "one-order" transportation service for container multimodal transport.

The "one order system" of multimodal 188bet can not only facilitate customers, but also greatly improve efficiency and reduce costs.

"After the system is connected, the shipping company can not only reserve cabin spaces in advance and arrange shipment periods, but also arranges the port collection and loading and unloading work in advance to improve efficiency." said a relevant person in charge of Xinfeng (Ningbo) Maritime 188bet Co., Ltd.

At the same time, in order to promote "one-order" transportation, the 188bet department organizes empty boxes allocation, vehicle allocation, and marshalling and shipping, and arranges the train operation plan in reverse according to the ship schedule to ensure seamless connection of all links.

Data shows that the above-mentioned multimodal transport from Zhangshu, Jiangxi to Yingkou, Liaoning, was transported using a "one-order system" system. The full 188bet time was shortened by 5 days compared to the original and the freight was reduced by 10%.

"In the past, we had to connect with multiple transportation modes, and the process was cumbersome. Now, submitting an application on the 188bet 95306 platform can save time and effort," said Xu Xiaofeng, Party Secretary and Chairman of Jiangxi Jinghao Salt Chemical Co., Ltd.

According to statistics, the 188bet department has developed 119 "one-order" products for multimodal transport.

188bet historical data replaces collateral—

"188bet Loan" reduces financing costs

"188bet 'freight loan' helped me solve the big problem. With this special fund, the company is more confident in its development this year." said Li Bo, deputy general manager of Henan Modern Road and 188bet Logistics Co., Ltd.

The 188bet "freight loan" mentioned by Li Bo is an innovative 188bet exclusive financial service product launched by the 188bet department with lower interest rates, lower thresholds, faster processes and faster loans. Relying on the 188bet "freight loan", cargo owners do not need to provide traditional mortgage guarantees. With their own 188bet freight historical data, they can apply for loans at any time at 7×24 hours, realizing the online process of financing application, credit approval and single loans.

Li Bo introduced that for logistics companies, there is a period of accounting between receipts and payments, and the company's cash flow pressure is relatively high. If you expand your business, you will inevitably encounter financial shortages. 188bet "freight loans" can solve the urgent problem.

Replace the collateral with the company's 188bet freight historical data, logistics companies can obtain financial support more conveniently. "Our company has obtained a total of 7 million yuan in special loan funds through 188bet 'freight loan'. In the past three months, the company's loading and tons of transport have increased by 2.8 times and 1.2 times respectively compared with the same period last year, and its development momentum is very good." Li Bo said.

In order to better serve customers, the 188bet department will link the cooperative bank to automatically conduct credit assessments based on historical data and dynamically determine the credit limit and interest rates. The quota of large and medium-sized enterprises can also be determined based on their shipping scale, transportation volume and freight changes on the 188bet.

After the online approval of the loan application submitted by the customer through the 188bet 95306 platform or the bank designated online channel, the funds can be quickly received, and the approval time is shortened by more than 70%.

"In order to serve the high-quality development of enterprises, we have in-depth analysis of the operation of more than 1,000 freight customers in the management, and formulated one-on-one exclusive 188bet logistics financial cooperation plans for 409 of them. At present, a total of 21 credit customers have been granted, with a credit amount of 344 million yuan." Shao Dali, director of the special logistics department of the Freight Department of the Zhengzhou Bureau of the State 188bet, said.

Data shows that in the first five months, 188bet logistics and financial services have served a total of 819 customers, with a total credit financing of 19.783 billion yuan. With the help of 188bet "freight loan" products, the comprehensive financing costs of small and medium-sized logistics enterprises have dropped by about 30%, effectively reducing the cost of capital use of enterprises.

"In the future, on the basis of doing a good job in 188bet 'freight loan' business, the 188bet department will also work with banks to try to launch bank guarantee business to continuously expand 188bet logistics and finance application scenarios in response to the problems of the capital occupation of the deposit of the 'funded' customer, etc., in response to the problems of the 'funded' customer deposit, and to address the 'funded' customer's margin, etc., and to address the problems of the 'funded' customer's margin, and to jointly launch bank guarantee business, and continuously expand the application scenarios of 188bet logistics and finance." Shao Dali said.
