On June 7, Reuters reported that Alibaba's logistics platform rookie will invest 1.5 billion US dollars to build a "super eHub" project at Hong Kong airport.
Also participating in the investment are China's state-owned giants China Aviation Group and express giant Thong. After the investment is completed, Alibaba's rookie network will own 51% of the new logistics center.
“This is not only a logistics facility, but a digital hub that supports international trade. It is the eHub on the intelligent logistics backbone network,†said the rookie-related person in charge.
According to a report by the well-known US financial media BusinessInsider, Ali's logistics center built at Hong Kong Airport will cover an area of ​​380,000 square meters. After being fully operational in 2023, it will be able to handle 1.7 million tons of air cargo per year.
Reuters also reported that the rookie has three distribution centers in Hong Kong, and the rookie announced the investment in the new logistics center, which is part of the rookie's global expansion plan. The first batch of rookie national intelligent logistics backbone network has deployed six eHub nodes in the world, located in Hangzhou, Kuala Lumpur, Dubai, Moscow, Liège (Belgium) and Hong Kong.
In Ma Yun's view, the national intelligent logistics backbone network consists of two parts. The first is to build a 24-hour freight network in China, and realize that the proportion of logistics cost to GDP falls below 5%. The other part is to achieve 72 hours of arrival on a global scale along the Belt and Road.
Just a few days ago at the Smart Logistics Summit held in Hangzhou, Alibaba Chairman Ma Yun said that it will build a 24-hour logistics network in China, and the logistics cost will drop below 5%. In addition to this "China Network", there will be a "global network", global cargo will be shipped globally within 72 hours. Ali's investment indicates that the construction of its global logistics network has entered an accelerated period.

Ma Yun also said that "world trade will be unstoppable, and economic globalization is even more impossible to block. Therefore, our logistics express industry has not moved grain and grass first, and the logistics industry must first prepare for this, because our preparation and our efforts can make Globalization is more inclusive, making globalization truly universal."
Ma Yun’s words, especially regarding global trade, and China Unicom’s global economy, have aroused great interest in the world media at this node.
British media TameBay quoted Ma Yun's speech as a big part, saying that the problems raised by Ma Yun have already occurred in the field of e-commerce and logistics. Merchants need to plan ahead and prepare for the future.
Tamebay went even further, comparing Alibaba's global ambitions with Amazon, saying that Alibaba's plan to connect the world's logistics service providers is obviously better than Amazon's attempt to build a global logistics network with its own efforts. It is tempting. But this is also a bigger mission, requiring more investment and longer time.
Ma Yun also recognized the daunting task before Alibaba. At the meeting, he said: "Today, rookies have connected more than 3 million couriers and more than 30 million square meters of warehouses. But this is not enough. This network should be connected to all global and national logistics express companies, all The warehouse, the network, connects the world."

In 2017, Ma Yun put forward “global buy, global sell, global pay, global transport and global tour†at the online business conference. Since then, the rookie network has started a rapid global expansion. In September 2017, Alibaba announced that it will invest another 100 billion yuan in the next five years to build a global logistics network.
