"Logistics leads to poorer, more remote and backward areas, and the value of industrial products that consumers have to pay is much higher than that in wealthy areas such as Beijing and Shanghai. At the same time, because of high logistics costs, a large number of high-quality agricultural products cannot leave the village. After they come out to Beijing and Shanghai, the price is so high that consumers cannot spend it. We have spent 10 years to build a huge logistics network covering the whole country. We are also investing a lot of money in developing the latest logistics technology, the most important of which is drones, which is to solve the problem of the last mile of rural logistics."
