In last year the 3rd GSS, an America procurer said: “The core competitiveness of the industry is to challenge the cost limits. The cargo has confirmed to be arrived in July 15th. If it arrive either on July 14th or July 16th, I have to pay extra money for warehouse and the bank. If it arrive in July 16th, the manufacture have to stop working, Who can make a promise that he can provide me the service?” The whole meeting was in silence. More than 500 worldwide executives can not provide an answer. Actually it is not question one company can solve. It needs a system which can connect the ports, logistics, Shipping and customs, commodity inspection to form a supply chain and product chain.
Recent statistics released by China's National Bureau of Statistics bulletin shows China's foreign trade amounted to 2.56 trillion U.S. dollars ,National scale above port cargo throughput of 5.87 billion tons to complete, to complete the container throughput of 126 million standard containers.

There is 500 billion dollars huge market. The blue economic has been the birth in China. However, there is one thing we concern about. China's total logistics costs accounted for 20% of the GDP. There is a big gap between developed country. In terms of logistics costs,the cost of labor and warehouse are much lower than developing country. But why the logistics costs is much higher than developed country. There are two major factors. On one side, there is a unreasonable layout of the entire industry ,which hasn’t form a industry yet. On the other side,Supply chain and industry chain is not the configuration of scientific . Material circulation、Warehousing、Transport pattern of serious dislocation ,Logistics, business flow, information flow, capital flow has not formed an organic integration project .The only way is to set up the 6 party logistics.
The 6 party logistics is a new concept. It is based on electronic networks as a service platform that will be third-party logistics industry chain and resource portfolio and system integration for users and efficient logistics operation to provide full service modeE-commerce as a means of survival figures represent the future of the trade patterns, logistics mode and service mode .February 25, the State Council executive meeting approved in principle the top ten industrial revitalization plan, including electronic information and logistics industry.
