The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 634 Logistics
Li Weidong's expectations for Huitong Logistics are not as high as he is for Zhou Shuangxi, nor are they as demanding as they advertise, Huitong Worldwide.

However, Zhou Shuangxi is a very high-spirited person, and has always determined to make Huitong Logistics a giant in an international logistics company, at least in terms of their company's strategic goals.

Of course, Li Weidong could only agree with this goal with a smile, but he didn't take this goal to heart, let alone use this goal to evaluate the performance of Huitong Logistics. Of course, there is no need to pour cold water on Comrade Zhou Shuangxi.

After all, this requirement is a bit difficult for others. After a few years of development, you can be comparable to those international giants, which is a bit too ridiculous.

The reason why Huitong Logistics occupies such a high share in the country, if it is said that it has little relationship with Huitong Logistics, it would be a little underestimating people like Zhou Shuangxi, but if it is said that they are capable, it would be even more nonsense.

The reason is more because Li Weidong's advance layout has seized the pioneering period of China's logistics industry and the opportunity for the great development of the e-commerce industry.

At present, other private logistics companies have not developed greatly, but with the rise of e-commerce, the market of the entire logistics industry will increase rapidly, and the number of people who see this business opportunity will definitely increase. getting bigger.

Of course, if Huitong Logistics can still maintain its current market share, maybe ten years later, with the expansion of the market, it is really possible to compete with other logistics giants in the world, or even compete.

But the probability of this happening is extremely low, and this cake is destined to be shared by others. After all, this industry does not require too many technical barriers, and in the last year alone, several logistics companies have been established. .

Zhou Shuangxi saw this situation, knew that ants were killing elephants, realized the crisis here, and had to find a way.

So he came to the capital this time to let Huitong Logistics go to a higher level, maintain a certain advantage in this competition, or open the gap with these newly established logistics companies.

Since last year, the entire aviation industry has been facing huge losses. It is no secret that many airlines have tried many ways to make up for this loss, such as secretly offering discounts. But it had little effect, and it made the Aviation Administration unhappy.

However, Zhou Shuangxi saw business opportunities from their losses. The reason for the airline's losses is that the number of passengers is small, and there are not so many passengers on the plane, resulting in a relatively high empty-load rate of the flight, and a corresponding increase in the cost of transportation per person.

The logistics company has also encountered some problems, such as receiving more and more urgent express delivery, relying on car transportation can no longer guarantee the capacity, and occasionally cooperates with airlines, and is subject to more restrictions, which is very inconvenient.

Now Zhou Shuangxi is thinking about whether their logistics company can cooperate with airlines and use those planes with higher empty load rate to deliver some goods.

After all, the number of people who choose to fly will not increase too much in a short period of time, and the losses of airlines will not change fundamentally in a short period of time, but it is impossible for airlines to ground their flights, otherwise it would be a slap in the face.

If the cooperation can be successful, both logistics companies and airlines can achieve a win-win situation.

After Zhou Shuangxi contacted the leaders of the airline, they were very interested in this proposal, but the only problem was that although they were an airline, under the current system, many things were decided by the aviation authority above.

If it is a routine matter, they can also call the shots, but this kind of new thing, and it is a sensitive industry like aviation, naturally no one will take the lead.

So this time when Zhou Shuangxi came to the capital, he wanted to use the intermediary relationship to see if he could discuss cooperation with the relevant leaders, and this time he wanted to meet the intermediary.

In fact, the intermediary had given him feedback before that. Although the airline had no problem, the department that managed the airline was cautious.

This is related to the fact that the aviation industry is currently discussing a policy, that is, whether the aviation industry is open to private and foreign capital.

If at this time, the aviation management department makes a decision to cooperate with famous companies like them, it is more or less expressive. As a leader, you have to worry about the cost of this.

If it is an occasional cooperation, it can also be explained as temporary. If it is fully open, it is a bit out of date at this time.

Occasionally cooperating will definitely not meet Zhou Shuangxi's requirements, so this time he came here just to get through this link.

Even if you can't get through, you have to find the problem, and you can report it to the higher authorities.

After the meeting, they chatted romantically for a long time without discussing anything serious, but the middleman suddenly said, "I heard that Chairman Li is in the capital at this time." Zhou Shuangxi understood what it meant when he said this.

I am the chairman of Huitong Logistics, and I also have a place on the domestic rich list, but it seems that it is not enough for these people.

The meaning of the middleman is obvious. If you want to negotiate this matter, it will be very difficult for you Zhou Shuangxi alone. It would be best if Li Weidong came forward.

It was all said so clearly, so Zhou Shuangxi could only do so. After meeting with the middleman, after thinking about it for a long time, he finally called Li Weidong and asked him for help.

Coincidentally, when Zhou Shuangxi called, it was the time when Li Weidong and Comrade Lao Liu had chatted and were in a happy mood.

Hearing Zhou Shuangxi's proposal, although I feel that this kind of cooperation is not a long-term solution, but in the current environment, if you want to improve the quality of the logistics company, you can only do so.

So without much hesitation, Li Weidong agreed!
Although Li Weidong, the leader of the Air Traffic Management Bureau, knew who they were and had met several times, they were not familiar with each other. To be on the safe side, Li Weidong also found a third person who was familiar with each other to have tea together.

It's just a coincidence that the leader of the Air Traffic Management Bureau is not in the capital, but he is very clear about what Li Weidong said. Although he cryptically explained his embarrassment, he finally agreed.

It is estimated that they are waiting for Li Weidong's call. It is very likely that Li Weidong is the force that broke the internal balance.

Zhou Shuangxi has been working hard for more than two months without any results, but a phone call from Li Weidong solved it, this is the gap.

But even so, Zhou Shuangxi also knew that if Li Weidong was called for this matter from the beginning, although Li Weidong would also make this call.

But the nature is different. If Li Weidong needs to do everything, he, the person in charge of the company, has no need to exist.

And if he does it, the favor he owes will naturally be repaid by him, and he can always repay it, but if Li Weidong comes forward, the debt will be huge, and the cost of repaying it will naturally be high.

Therefore, at this time, Zhou Shuangxi was full of gratitude to Li Weidong, and at the same time promised: "If we can develop in-depth cooperation with airlines, I will definitely let Huitong Logistics go to a higher level and speed up our sprint to become a giant in the international logistics industry!"

It is a rare thing for people to fly in this era, and it is not something that ordinary people can experience, let alone cargo, air transportation is definitely a gimmick.

This kind of cooperation will definitely produce a huge advertising effect and brand effect. For those who have just entered the logistics industry, it is simply a dimensionality reduction blow.

Li Weidong looked at the excited Zhou Shuangxi, and couldn't help but remind him: "Don't be too happy, as far as I know, these airlines have already planned to do cargo business, and now they are cooperating with you, I guess they are also accumulating experience! "

"I think it won't be long before they set up a dedicated shipping company. By then, not only you, but other logistics companies will also be able to cooperate with them, and even join the logistics company industry. It's not impossible!"

After hearing Li Weidong's words, Zhou Shuangxi nodded helplessly. Zhou Shuangxi had already thought of this. He also wanted to run his own air cargo company like the world's logistics giants, but it was simply impossible in China.

However, feeling that this kind of mentality is unacceptable, Zhou Shuangxi vowed: "Don't worry, as long as it is a fair competition, with the strength of Huitong Logistics, we will not be afraid of anyone!"

"It's good to have this confidence!" Li Weidong nodded and said, this is the only way to do it now. If you want to buy an airplane by yourself for aviation logistics, it may take a few years before the situation becomes clearer.

"The matter is over, call Dachun and the others at night, find a random place to get together!" Li Weidong did not forget the promise he made to Zhou Shuangxi last night.

Douban echoed from the side, "Brother, I know a good place, I'm sure it will satisfy you!"

"It's different for catering, and he's excited when it comes to eating!" Li Weidong joked with a smile.

It's just that Li Weidong didn't expect that the good place for bean cakes is neither a big hotel nor a private kitchen, but a barbecue stall.

Li Weidong looked at the scene in front of him, no wonder Douban suggested him to dress casually before going out.

I even got off the car a block ahead of time and walked to this very lively place, a small road with barbecue food stalls on both sides, commonly known as a barbecue street.

Li Weidong looked at the short-sleeved pants and the slippers on his feet. They really fit the atmosphere here, and they were more casual.

The proprietress who was soliciting customers saw a group of people coming, and immediately came to say hello. After seeing the bean cakes in front, the smile on her face became even wider. It seems that bean cakes are regular and distinguished customers here.

"Boss Zhu, you are here, please, please, please, the roast whole lamb you ordered has been roasted, and I will bring it up for you in a while!" The proprietress said with a smile on her face, and smiled at Li Weidong and the others.

She probably never thought that the casually dressed person standing in front of him would be the richest man in the world, and who would have thought that the richest man in the world would come here for dinner.

"Brother, don't worry, I live next to me. I go out for a walk at night, and I often eat a couple of bites here. The ingredients are absolutely fine, and there are two brushes for cooking. The taste is very good!" Dou Cake said in a low voice.

Li Weidong said he wanted a place to order casually, and Doubing immediately thought of this. Of course, he didn't dare to decide this matter by himself, so he asked Ding Yuan to discuss it.

They are all old people who follow Li Weidong's side. They know Li Weidong's character better, and know that he likes this kind of unrestrained place where he doesn't care about etiquette.

And usually at home in Qizhou, Li Weidong would occasionally call a few people to have a small barbecue in his yard, drink two glasses of beer, and entertain himself.

So Ding Yuan also knew that the proposal of bean cakes was in line with Li Weidong's preferences, and the only concern was safety.

Personal safety, the bodyguards they bring are all elite, so they can't escape their eyes, but food safety, invisible and intangible, is not easy to handle.

However, Doubing said that he will solve this problem. In order to let Li Weidong eat safe food, he also worked hard. Not only did he make an appointment in advance, but he also sent two people to watch the whole process. The sheep were all killed now!
The food stall is located in a large open space, and there may be a shed on the top to prevent rain.

When Li Weidong and his party went in, they didn't attract the attention of the people around them. Their clothes didn't look much different from ordinary working-class people, the only thing was that there were a little more people.

Of course, if you observe carefully, you will definitely find that they are different. Even if they wear ordinary short-sleeved pants, their temperaments are somewhat different. .

The proprietress seemed to lead Li Weidong and his party to a table unintentionally, but after looking carefully, Ye Neng could find some clues.

On the next few tables, there were a few people sitting sparsely. Although these people were all sitting, their expressions changed somewhat.

Li Weidong has already recognized several familiar faces among these people, some are his bodyguards, and some are faces that he has often seen these days.

Although he was under strict protection, this kind of environment still gave him a very comfortable feeling, and even the excitement and joy of doing bad things.

A few people ate very happily, and it seemed that to suit the occasion, Liu Dachun and Dou Bing also took off their shirts and became Mr. Bang, completely blending in with the surrounding environment, making them even less special.

Early the next morning, Li Weidong started his return journey, but not many people came to see him off, which was also Li Weidong's request.

When he first came, there were so many people picking up the plane, and he made such a big move, and even a few blurry photos leaked out on the Internet, and there were even some sour rumors.

Although Li Weidong was not afraid of these things, he also felt quite uncomfortable, so he naturally didn't want such things to happen when he left.

Li Weidong's plane took off and landed, and when he arrived in Qizhou, not many people came to pick him up.

However, apart from a few people from the company, these people are his own brothers. Seeing these people, Li Weidong is also a little curious. Doesn't today seem to be a special day?
