Further reducing costs and improving efficiency have become key points in China’s logistics sector, as companies jockey for any advantage they can find in the crowded and highly competitive space where services are largely the same. JD Logistics Inc. (2618.HK) is taking the differentiation game further by trying to offer the widest range of “integrated supply chain services” that appeal to customers with many differing needs.
對於物流業來說，在運價、人力成本已接近極限的情況下，如何進一步降低成本、提升效率，是在這個早已內卷化的行業中繼續生存下去的關鍵。對於這個題目，京東物流股份有限公司(2618.HK)的答案是「一體化供應鏈整合」。
In the latest step in that direction, the company this month announced an agreement to buy the remaining 36.43% of Kuayue-Express that it doesn’t already own for up to 6.48 billion yuan ($894 million), making Kuayue-Express into a wholly owned subsidiary.
近日，京東物流宣佈旗下子公司已與跨越速運簽訂股權轉讓協議，擬收購跨越速運合共約36.43%的股權，對價不超過64.84億元。收購前買方已持有約63.57%權益，意味著完成交割後，京東物流將100%持有跨越速運。
The acquisition by the logistics unit of e-commerce giant JD.com is divided into three phases. In the first, JD Logistics will acquire about 16.43% of Kuayue-Express for 2.31 billion yuan. Payment for the second and third stages will be determined based on Kuayue-Express’ future performance.
公告顯示，此次交易分三期進行，第一期收購約16.43%的股權，對價爲23.14億元。第二期和第三期的對價及股權轉讓則有相應支付安排，將根據跨越速運的業績進行調整。
