We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

Chapter 680 Logistics Storm
Pangu-Star of Shanghai, as a shining pearl of Far East Land's unique craftsmanship and world-renowned, the Pangu series stands proudly at the pinnacle of the world's real estate map. With its extraordinary design and excellent quality, it has set an iconic example worldwide.

It is not only a masterpiece of a building complex, but also a shining star on the city skyline, leading the new trend of future residential and commercial spaces, and making the glory and dreams of "Pangu" shine in every inch of space.

San Miguel Center, which is the headquarters of San Miguel Brewery Group on the mainland.

Although located in the prosperous Pangu Magic City Star, the heart of this high-rise city, the San Miguel Center may not have occupied a prominent position in the public eye. It is like a low-key and introverted pearl, quietly emitting its own glimmer and maintaining a rare humility and indifference.

However, being in this unique area itself symbolizes a significant improvement in status. It is not just a change of geographical location, but also a leap in identity and value, which makes people naturally feel noble and extraordinary.

Therefore, under the dazzling city skyline of Pangu Magic City Star, there are not only many world-renowned multinational companies gathered here, shining with international brilliance, but also many top domestic companies.

This is like placing an advertisement on CCTV, a national media platform. Once it appears, it will be like giving the company a halo of national fame, allowing the general public to naturally regard your company as a leader in the industry, enjoying extremely high social recognition and brand awareness.

Similarly, as long as you say that your company is located in Pangu Magic City Star, most companies will welcome you with a smile and gain your recognition.

Deppon Logistics, the number one private logistics company, has its new headquarters established by Zhang Qingyuan in the San Miguel Center.

“With 58 cities and more than 260 million home appliances, we have completely captured the market in the north thanks to the early business of Honor Mall.

This feat not only demonstrates our market penetration and brand influence, but also indicates that our leading position in the northern logistics industry has been firmly established.

Next, we only need to focus on the strongholds currently established in each city, taking this as the core, and implement flexible and changeable network layout strategies based on the specific conditions and characteristics of each city.

This layout will ensure that our influence and business coverage can penetrate every corner of the city accurately and efficiently.

These 58 cities in the north will be the focus of our future development. The strategic initiative of setting up franchise outlets in these cities will definitely be the top priority of our current work.

You must personally supervise me to ensure that every step is done to perfection.

This layout is not only related to the expansion of the company's territory and the deepening of its influence, but also a key step for us to seize the opportunities of the times and establish our leading position in the industry.

We closely monitor market trends, accurately grasp the unique advantages and needs of each city, and use flexible and efficient strategies to promote the rapid implementation and stable operation of franchise outlets.

At the same time, we will strengthen cooperation, communication and collaboration with local logistics in various places to ensure that franchised outlets can be quickly integrated into us.

Deppon Logistics will be listed on Hong Kong Island in half a year, and I need to produce a good business report before the listing."

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I know what to do."

At this moment, Zhang Qingyuan is full of vigor and ambition. A grand blueprint is slowly unfolding before his eyes. An emerging logistics empire is at its peak and rising slowly in the sky of the industry.

This is not only the rise of an enterprise, but also a glorious chapter of his wisdom and sweat, indicating that the logistics industry is about to usher in an unprecedented transformation and leap.

Zhang Qingyuan is standing on the crest of the times, writing his own logistics legend in the business world and in the industry.

The confidence behind all this is the large number of business orders given to him by Honor Mall. There are so many that he can't even imagine.

In just one week, the newly expanded 58 cities in the north took over 260 million logistics parcels, and the total number of parcels nationwide exceeded 600 million.

Thirty years later this may not be a big deal and may not even be a fraction of the number of express parcels delivered in a day, but in this era it is extremely exaggerated.

Of course, Zhang Qingyuan was very happy that Debang was facing a great leap in development, but there were also some troublesome problems that he had to let go and solve.

"I plan to set up a prosecutorial department in the company. What do you think?"

"For the old problem?" The vice president knew that some things could not be ignored.

Although Debang’s self-operated joint venture and franchise system enabled Debang Logistics to quickly occupy the market, problems also followed.

The most serious problem is that franchisees use the name of Deppon Logistics to solicit business for themselves and accumulate customers.

Not only did they make the money in their own pockets, but when problems arose, all the blame was directed at Debang.

The South opened early, and there are numerous small logistics companies in various local cities.

Some companies that were squeezed out by Deppon Logistics and could not survive have become franchisees of Deppon Logistics.

But these people all have their own little calculations, and there are many who take on their own parcels under the name of Deppon Logistics.

Now that the northern market is emerging, Zhang Qingyuan wants to put an end to this phenomenon from the very beginning.

"What if those people refuse to change?"

"Then terminate the cooperation with these franchise joint ventures. I would rather invest money in direct operation."

"Terminate the cooperation?" The vice president exclaimed, "This will cause conflicts of interest between us and many people."

"What are you afraid of? We are living in a society ruled by law. If you have any problems, come to me."

Deppon Logistics was expanding across the country, and Zhang Qingyuan became a prominent figure in the domestic private sector.

In other cities, many people are working hard and preparing for the future.

In a lower building in Xiaokunshan Economic Development Zone in Songjiang, the Magic City, Shengtong Industrial Co., Ltd., which was established less than two years ago, is facing a formidable enemy.

"Deppon Logistics has basically completed its layout in the south. Zhang Qingyuan's purpose of moving the headquarters to Shanghai is self-evident, which is to attack the northern market.

But I didn’t expect that Debang’s development speed would be so fast, and it completed the basic layout in the north in less than half a month.”

In the office, Chen Xiaoying, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at her husband Nie Tengfei with a serious face and spoke to comfort him.

“Education, connections, and knowledge are extremely important in the business world.

Zhang Qingyuan became a leader in the domestic business world at the age of over 30. Without these, it would have been impossible for him to achieve his current success.

This is despite the fact that there are so many business opportunities in the country, and it will only become more and more important in the future."

"It's from the Far East." When Nie Tengfei said this, he couldn't hide the envy in his eyes.

He thought that he was no less capable than Zhang Qingyuan, but unfortunately, just like some people who were born in Rome, Zhang Qingyuan easily obtained the resources that he coveted.

"You don't have to worry about me. Although Deppon Logistics is powerful, it can't hit me.

I am absolutely sure that the future market for express delivery business is so huge that it is simply beyond the capacity of one company.

As long as our business volume increases and the company has development prospects, we can also get the resources that Zhang Qingyuan has.

In addition, it is difficult for Deppon Logistics to compete with us in our main business, as the cost for them is much higher than ours."

Nie Tengfei saw it very clearly. What is Shengtong Industrial's main business now? It is the next-day delivery business.

After the 90s, import and export trade in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions was very hot, but foreign trade companies had a huge problem.

That is, the customs declaration must arrive at the port the next day, but EMS express delivery takes at least three days, which is simply unable to meet the needs of trading companies.

So Nie Tengfei saw a business opportunity here and started to help the boss of the foreign trade company deliver customs declarations, run errands for others, and go on business trips for others. So Nie Tengfei took the customs declarations that needed to be delivered the day before from Hangzhou to Shanghai every morning. His partners picked up the goods at the Shanghai Station and delivered them to all parts of the city. Soon this model developed in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.

Deppon Logistics has its own transportation standards. It is impossible for us to make a personal trip just for some customs declaration forms, and it is also impossible for us to deliver the customs declaration forms first after arriving at the destination.

If employees are assigned to do these things specifically, costs will inevitably rise. The main reason is that Deppon Logistics is not as good as Shengtong in terms of costs. Moreover, no one is willing to disrupt this lucrative market, which means that price wars are difficult to fight.

A train ticket costs thirty to fifty yuan, and delivering a customs declaration form costs 100 yuan. Excluding labor costs, you can earn at least fifty yuan from a customs declaration form.

But once a price war breaks out, no matter who wins the market, the profits will become worthless.

While Nie Tengfei was envious of the rapid development of Deppon Logistics, in Shunde, Guangdong Province, a young parallel importer also had a worried look on his face.

Parallel importers are the people who use backpacks and suitcases to transport goods.

"We handle more than 70% of the delivery business between Guangdong Province and Hong Kong Island, but the market will become saturated and we must expand our business into other areas."

"Domestic logistics market? But we can't compare with Deppon Logistics in terms of scale, market, and recognition."

"The market cannot be taken over by one company. Whether it is Hea or Amazon, the rise of e-commerce is unstoppable, and corresponding companies will soon emerge in China.

This is our opportunity, and we are not without advantages compared to Deppon Logistics and other domestic express delivery companies.

First of all, we are very familiar with Hong Kong Island, which will make it easier for us to obtain financing.

Deppon Logistics was supported by the Far East Group, and Hong Kong people must be very interested in this area of ​​Far East investment.

That is to say, even if we cannot get investment and support in the Far East, there must be capital willing to invest in us.

The most important point is that our profitability is very good."

In 1993, Wang Wei started his business with yuan borrowed from his father.

At this time, many factories in Hong Kong Island moved to Guangdong Province due to cost issues. Every day, a large amount of goods and documents needed to be transported between Hong Kong Island and Guangdong Province.

But at that time, the postal service had not yet opened up services between the two places, so if you wanted to send something, you had to make the trip in person.

But at that time, the round-trip fare between the two places was 400 yuan, which was very expensive, so this gave Wang Wei a business opportunity.

In fact, it was the same business opportunity that Zhang Qingyuan discovered when he traveled back and forth between the two places. However, Zhang Qingyuan was responsible for re-transporting the goods after they arrived in Guangdong Province, while Wang Wei was responsible for small-scale logistics between the two places.

"Mr. Wang is planning to raise funds?"

“Yes, I plan to go to Hong Kong Island to get in touch with various investors.

The development of Deppon Logistics has made it impossible for us to proceed step by step. The model of accumulating a lot of food and then slowly becoming king is no longer suitable. We must speed up the pace of development."

This is in the private and government sectors, as some changes have also occurred due to Debang's recent fierce offensive.

Posts and telecommunications are inseparable. This is the current situation in the country.

"Are you saying that the higher-ups are planning to separate the postal and telecommunications businesses?"

Luo Nianzhong was stunned by the news. He didn't expect that his butterfly would flap its wings again.

I remember that the two families separated in 1998, but I didn’t expect that they would be separated now.

“That’s right, Telecom is very dissatisfied with this prodigal brother, and it has reached the point where it can no longer tolerate him.

Last year, the postal business lost 52 billion yuan, and this year it is expected to exceed 70 billion yuan. Although the telecommunications business is very profitable, who would be willing to always subsidize their cousin like this?

Now the employees in Telecom are very excited, they are sure that this cousin is sucking their blood and eating their flesh."

I never thought that even the reasons for the split were the same.

I remember that in 1997, the postal service suffered a record loss of 179 billion yuan in one year. Telecom was completely desperate and simply quit its business and demanded to separate from the postal service.

After the separation, the two brothers drifted further and further apart. The rise of the Internet made telecommunications the trendsetters of the era, and its business grew bigger and bigger.

The postal service is like an abandoned child, and how to survive has become a problem.

当时国家队邮政实行了8531的计划，也就是改革头四年分别补贴80亿、50亿、30亿、和10亿，帮忙造血过度。

But no one expected that the postal service would lose 142 billion in the first year.

In a short period of time, Post and Telecommunications was a company that was not loved by its grandmother, uncle, and people, but Luo Nianzhong was very smart.

"You said that if we invest in the postal service now, I think they will line up to welcome us."

"Are you crazy? Unlike Deppon, it is impossible for China Post to make a profit from logistics business. Maybe there will be such a day, but it is a long way off."

Robert now regrets telling his boss the news. It was just a casual chat, but he didn't expect the other party to actually buy shares.

Luo Nianzhong also understood what the other party meant. If the post office wanted to make money through logistics, even he, a latecomer, would shake his head.

The reason why the postal service suffers such huge losses is because of its network of outlets spread all over the country.

Even Debang has not yet completed the construction of outlets in all cities across the country, but the postal outlets have achieved full coverage at the township level across the country, and postal delivery has been available to every village for more than ten years before roads have been available to every village.

There are more than 500,000 outlets, village post offices, and instant noodle service points, and more than 70% of them are in remote villages.

These are all money-losing products, and private enterprises will not be able to enter them.

But there is no way, this is the national mission and the postal service must do so.

Luo Nianzhong is not a saint, but he is happy to help others if it is profitable.

What Luo Nianzhong wants to do is that its properties determine that it cannot go bankrupt, but the country cannot give it large subsidies every year.

How did the postal service become one of the top 100 companies in the world? Because it developed banking, finance, insurance, securities and other businesses and completely revitalized the company.

Whether now or twenty years later, the population with rural household registration will be the main force.

You may have heard the news about an old man burying tens of thousands of dollars underground, only to have the money moldy and rotten when he took it out. The post office solved this problem.

Banks cannot go to the countryside because the cost is too high, so farmers have to keep their money in their own hands. But the post office has almost no cost, and only needs to renovate the current outlets.

There are also people who work away from home and cannot send money back home, but with the Postal Savings Bank they can.

This is a huge cash flow and customer base, and Luo Nianzhong saw this.

Besides, it is impossible for Deppon to take over the entire logistics market. The Far East Group is optimistic about this sector and will certainly cast a wide net. Why can't the Post Office do the same?
