Chapter 1196 [Determining the general strategic direction]

What happened on the external network was also reposted on the mainland Internet by netizens who climbed out of the wall. The comments made by netizens from various countries on the external network were translated and posted online, which also triggered heated discussions in the country.

Many domestic netizens are happy to hear this, and there are also many vicious people who call it foreign.

Some domestic bloggers found that mainland netizens were very interested in these things. Most of them couldn't access the Internet or could but found it too troublesome. So some people became porters and found that the attention was not low. So some people set up similar moving accounts specifically.

These things happening in the private sector have not affected the layout of Oriental Express. They are advancing steadily and orderly according to the established opportunities. Kunpeng Technology is also expanding its production lines.

After accepting a commercial contract for 5,000 "Kunpeng-5B" drones from Oriental Express, it will definitely not be delivered on time without expanding the production line.

Saturday morning, September 10th.

Fang Hong came to the high-tech industrial park in Xincheng again, but this time he came to the temporary headquarters of Oriental Express. The company is currently looking for land in the park to build its own headquarters building.

The earliest time to move into the new headquarters building will be around 2018, but these are not the focus. The preliminary framework of Orient Express has been established, the management team has been initially formed, and the recruitment of employees in various departments has begun to expand.

Upon learning that the big BOSS was coming, the first head of Oriental Express and its core executives came out to greet him.

Fang Hong came here today to make important arrangements for the strategic development of Orient Express. In a small conference room in the temporary headquarters, Fang Hong looked at the head of Orient Express and his senior executives who were present at the meeting. Said: "Oriental Express must proactively integrate into and serve the country's development strategy, accelerate the layout of key areas, achieve the goal of nationwide business coverage, and continue to improve operational capabilities."

The boss said: "The general direction has been clearly defined in the next three years. The goal of Oriental Express is to make every effort to refine and strengthen its digital advantages, give full play to the advantages of the comprehensive platform, including the advantages of the rural market, and continuously expand Develop scale and comprehensively improve quality and efficiency, and open up a good trend of progress and quality improvement."

Fang Hong nodded and said: "Digitalization and intelligence are the core elements of Oriental Express's business and management. This must be clearly understood. At the beginning of the company's establishment, what we have in front of us is an express market where opportunities and challenges coexist. Specifically, we will focus on the sixteen-character policy of 'technology leadership, data support, talent guarantee, and intelligent operation', and rely on the general tone of digitalization and intelligence as the core to emphasize both quantity and quality."

"Artificial intelligence, big data, autonomous driving and other technologies are major trends in the future. If express companies want to survive and develop in future industry competition, seizing digital opportunities and carrying out digital upgrades are the key. Against this background, Oriental Express's 'digital express' in the industry must be fully understood and clarified, and the goal is to achieve the transformation from traditional operations to unmanned digital operations."

“My requirement is that Oriental Express should be able to realize a new logistics model with intelligent traceability of products, visual intelligent management of logistics processes, intelligent enterprise supply chain, and modern auxiliary decision-making system, and truly complete the traditional logistics direction. The difficulty and challenge in the transformation of smart logistics is nothing more than how to integrate digital technology with physical logistics, which is where Oriental Express's competitiveness lies."

The senior executives attending the meeting were all taking notes. After a while, the current head of Oriental Express looked at Fang Hong and said: "The people who came with the wind the day before yesterday came over, and we also discussed with them the network layout and market and service expansion. Exchange and discussion.”

"Using regional advantage projects and operational advantages as breakthrough points, we will build a healthy matching of transportation capacity and resources, create a comprehensive logistics service platform, strengthen the comprehensive logistics layout, and continuously expand business areas and service scope based on customer needs, market development and industry dynamics, and create Differentiated product and service system.”

Hearing this, Fang Hong refuted on the spot: "To put it bluntly, Oriental Express is a company that sells transportation resources. You rent my drone and I will deliver the freight to the designated place you mentioned. It's that simple. , what should we do if it is so complicated? How else can we expand our business scope? What kind of differentiated service system can we create? These are all matters at the end of the chain and are what third-party logistics companies should do. Don’t be fooled by those who follow the trend. Let’s Your customer is not the Shunfeng family. If you want to cooperate exclusively with him, can he afford it?"

The leader nodded repeatedly, and he had no temper when faced with the public criticism from the younger BOSS. After a moment, he said: "In addition, this is what we think internally. On the basis of the existing main business, we will add The layout of large rural areas and remote mountainous areas will be strengthened to promote cost zoning, service stratification, and product classification."

Fang Hong nodded: "This is pretty good."

The head of Orient Express added: "In addition, yesterday we also discussed whether to expand overseas layout, improve cross-border service capabilities, and build new development advantages."

Fang Hong rejected the idea on the spot and said: "Let's avoid overseas layout for now. Don't cause unnecessary trouble to the country and WJB. The surrounding neighbors will not feel safe. Whether they feel safe or not is not what I care about." , the point is that it is easy to be framed. You drones frequently fly back and forth across borders. If someone secretly builds a drone, paints it with the logo of Oriental Express and drops a bomb somewhere, you have a chance. It’s hard to argue.”

Having said this, Fang Hong added: "Even if the company wants to do air cross-border express transportation, the country will not approve it. The appeal issue is only one of them. There will also be smuggling issues. If these issues are not resolved, there is no need to consider overseas layout." .”

The head of Oriental Express nodded: "That makes sense."

Fang Hong changed the topic: "But this does not mean that overseas business should be completely eliminated. It just cannot be done now. The current situation and timing do not allow it. It is unlikely to be possible in at least three to five years, but it does not mean that it cannot be done in the future."

The participants present quickly understood this. To put it bluntly, it is still a matter of fists. When the time comes when there is no need to consider the international impact, then it can be done.

Neighbors don’t feel safe? Just adapt slowly. You will be able to adapt to the new living conditions over time. If you don't adapt, you have to learn to adapt.

As for framing? Who would have the guts to commit a trap at that time?

If you don't want to reason with me, then I can only talk to you about physics.

This meeting did not last long and ended in less than half an hour. Fang Hong left and established the development strategy of Oriental Express in the next few years. The next step is the implementation level.
