Chapter 3135: Milestones in the express industry

Qin Guan was not joking.

People with a little brain will know how big the risks are.

The postal service was established by the state and covers all areas of the country. The state has invested a large amount of funds for this purpose and established such a network. In addition to railway transportation, road transportation is also quite common. There are tens of thousands of postal systems, large and small vehicles!

Now, if a private company wants to achieve the same scale as the postal service, it is conceivable how much risk is involved. You must know that it wants to communicate mail between two cities across the country. It has to go through many transfer processes. If it arrives directly, it means that there will be more routes and more fleets will be needed.

In short, even if it is to establish a few nodes and then distribute them layer by layer, the basic capital that needs to be invested is also massive, and the sorting of mails, etc., requires manpower.

If such a company is to be established, it is estimated that the first batch will have to purchase thousands of trucks from the northern heavy-duty truck factory. If each is 300,000, that is 300 million!

This is indeed a gamble for Wang Erzhu to take out all his wealth.

At this time, Qin Guan finished his thoughts and was waiting for Wang Erzhu's consideration.

In 1993, it has a special meaning. In that parallel time and space, it was also a milestone, a milestone in the express industry in Han.

In the spring of this year, the new district of Huating was established and the import and export trade began. In the southern land of fish and rice, there are a large number of individual industrial and commercial enterprises doing various foreign trade businesses.

At this time, there was a problem. In order not to delay the export of goods, the customs declaration form of the foreign trade company needs to be delivered to Huating the next day, but the postal express can take three days at the earliest.

This is still the fastest way. If it is an ordinary letter, it is possible to walk for half a month. For businessmen, time is money. Therefore, in order to catch up with the ships in the port and export the goods in time, foreign trade companies do A decision was made and he was willing to pay 100 yuan per order, so that people who trusted him would send foreign trade orders to Huating for customs declaration.

In this way, the workers in a humble ordinary factory have become more flexible. If you charge 100 per customs declaration, you can spend 15 yuan to catch the train to Huating that night and arrive at the station early the next morning. One night, you have to stand all the way, but then you can ride a bicycle to the city. The expenses are reduced to the utmost extent. In this way, if you deduct the round-trip fare, you can make 70 yuan per order. If you take a few more jobs and send more than a dozen orders at a time, you can earn thousands of dollars a day.

In this era, it requires brains. As long as you use your brains, there is gold everywhere.

So, he drove a few people together and started to do it prosperously. His wife was in the land of fish and rice, calling for orders all day long, and his friends ran back and forth, constantly sending orders, while he was sitting in Huating and riding a bicycle to make orders. In this way, their express company was established.

After doing business, the business was not good. This company was originally called "Shengtong" and later became Shentong. Later, his friends saw business opportunities one after another and left them to work alone. In this way, one by one express companies formed In order to quickly develop a nationwide network, they adopted the franchise system, spreading their fellow villagers to open franchise stores, and Shentong’s express network quickly spread across the country, and the business volume will also explode exponentially.

When it reached the peak, there were even hundreds of express companies across the country, but soon, the waves scoured the sand, and the last remaining ones were just a few, such as Four Links and One Express and SF Express.

At present, other express companies have not yet developed, and another major user of express companies, which is online merchants, has already developed. Therefore, everything is in urgent need of the arrival of express companies.

Using franchise stores, it is easy to open express companies across the country at the lowest cost. However, the quality of service cannot be guaranteed. Many junk express companies have extremely poor service quality.

The courier is very mobile. I delivered the courier today and resigned tomorrow. As a result, what should I do if the package is lost? The franchise store pushed it to the courier, and the courier said that I had resigned. As long as the user was on the job once, he would never choose this courier company again. The reputation quickly deteriorated. There were few couriers and the courier could not make money. It forms a vicious circle.

Therefore, Qin Guan's proposal to Wang Erzhu is to effectively improve the quality of service, and then we must grasp everything in our hands. If it is analogous, it should be more similar to a certain Dong's express delivery method, and everything is done by ourselves.

In this way, a huge amount of investment is required, and only Wang Erzhu can do it.

"In China, express companies have not yet appeared, but in foreign countries, express companies are very common." Sandra finally said: "In the Western world, the main express delivery companies are in the hands of private companies, in order to achieve timeliness. Because of sex, they will even choose to use airplanes for express delivery. This is a promising industry, and the most important issue is the country’s attitude."

Sandra has been in Han for many years and has already understood the situation here. Does the state support it? This is clearly fighting business with the postal service!

The postal service has the greatest advantage. After all, they are a department established by the state, and their services can directly sink into the village. However, the quality of postal services is beyond justifiable.

Does the state allow private companies to divide up this cake?

"The country is okay." Qin Guan said: "We are now engaged in a market economy. We must compete. If there is no competition in the postal service, there will be no progress. Even after we set up this express company, others will follow the same pattern. For those who have created similar companies, we hope to achieve the rapid development of our logistics industry through competition."

The postal service is a unit that eats imperial food. However, with the rise of domestic courier companies, they are also changing. They have also begun to improve transportation efficiency. The postal staff of their terminals have even begun to ride on electric three-wheelers to deliver goods. Became a new type of express company.

Through competition and common progress, the country can continue to develop.

"Our Hantong company mainly takes the high-end route. Our express delivery fees may be more expensive, but our service quality must be good. All business outlets across the country are directly managed by the company." Qin Guan Said: "In the competition, those who are eliminated will always be low-end competitors. In the future, our Hantong Express Company will develop into a global express company, and we will also be able to take a share in the foreign express industry. Soup."

You must have your own courier company to do this. Think about the parallel time and space. Huawei’s commercial-secret courier was directly stopped by Eagle Country’s courier company. In the future, we must prevent this from happening.

The development of the North Industries Corporation is too large, so Qin Guan did not intend to do it himself. Now, he is constantly supporting others to reduce the size of the North Industries Corporation as much as possible.

Now, it depends on Wang Erzhu's courage.

"A world-wide courier company?" Wang Erzhu's thoughts only lasted two minutes, and then he decided: "Okay, let's do it!"
