Chapter 717: The King of Express Delivery Cultivation Plan
The scorching summer did not stop the enthusiasm of SF Logistics. Because, at this stage, it is the graduation season for fresh graduates, and a large number of graduates are waiting to find jobs.
With a capital of 500 million yuan, SF Express is naturally unwilling to miss the cultivation and attraction of talents. You know, Wang Wei doesn't plan to be a kind of courier company that just earns some errands, what kind of employees can run errands and deliver, as long as they are familiar with local roads and have an outlet to support, how much is needed.
The more critical talents are technical talents, for example, for the Internet, transportation, etc., there is a certain level of professional personnel, these personnel continue to invest in technology research and development, in order to create a top logistics company.
Just like the sorting center of express logistics, SF Express has just been established for the time being, and it still uses manual sorting. However, Wang Wei is already cooperating with the technical department of the new entrepreneurship department to develop automated sorting. The main automated electric vehicles, as well as some industrial robots, use cameras to scan standardized logistics tracking numbers, and then they can be automatically sorted with robotic arms and sent goods to the corresponding places.
This advanced logistics sorting method has almost become the standard configuration of express logistics companies in the future. However, in the last mile of delivery, it still needs to be done manually.
Now Wang Wei has decided to adopt this technology in SF's logistics sorting center in the next three years. Of course, at this stage, this technology is not mature, after all, intelligent sorting needs to solve a lot of hardware and software problems, the hardware problem is that robots can do those complex things, do not interfere with each other, thousands of unmanned vehicles and robots flow in the sorting center, involving a large number of hardware technology and software algorithms.
However, although these technologies are very complex, the new venture electronics group has always had a related team to develop this industrial robot technology. Among them, the automatic sorting robots and unmanned vehicles in the express logistics industry are not only widely used, but also the market space in the future is a small number of tens of billions of dollars per year. If it is upgraded to unmanned docks, unmanned trucks and other fields, the market will be completely lost.
Therefore, the new entrepreneurship department invests no less than 100 million US dollars in resources in the field of artificial intelligence and industrial robots that can be applied on a large scale every year, and continues to spend money on research and development.
Although it can only be said that some artificial intellectual disabilities have been developed at present, and have not been maturely applied and promoted, Lin Qi does not care, but has been supporting the project team's continuous research and development.
SF Express cooperates with the new entrepreneurial artificial intelligence team to develop sorting robots, and the majority of the research and development is actually the artificial intelligence team's own funds and budget, but SF provides application scenarios for testing.
"In the future, we at SF Express will be a company with high technology content, high efficiency, and continuous self-improvement and improvement of functions, rather than just a company that relies on cheap labor to exploit surplus value. Although Wang Wei is in charge of his own business, he has been deeply branded with the new entrepreneurship department because he has worked in the new entrepreneurship department for a year, especially the brand of e-commerce on Tesco.com, which has given him great inspiration and touch, "When I only had a few brothers, it was just because we were professional and dedicated, so I was dug up by Boss Lin to work in Tesco.com." During the period of Tesco, we learned more, mastered new technologies and new thinking, and we realized for the first time that business can do this, and selling things can be sold in this way. Of course, at the same time, I also have a deep understanding that the future of express logistics companies, more advanced models, not the United States UPS Express and FedEx, we studied the model of these two express delivery, they are actually expensive, not so timely, the level of service is ...... It may not be better than the current domestic post, this model is generally high but the service level is not flattering. Just imagine, if we send express delivery on Tesco, we don't see anyone, and we just leave the package at the door of the person's house, it must be a bad review and unprofessional, but it is normal in the United States. Of course...... It is also related to the fact that the United States is very populous, and some suburban householders are far away from their neighbors, so no one may take away the door cancer. But in general, I think that the logistics system in the United States is mainly airplane, air and rail freight system, but the logistics company service is not very good. Boss Lin, let me set up SF Express, so that our future goal is to be a first-class logistics express company. Then, we must make a company that exceeds the level of logistics express companies in this era with high efficiency and high level, and can constantly evolve and improve itself, of course...... We say that the American express delivery is high and inefficient, a very ordinary package starts at 10 US dollars, and now, most of the packages start at 2 yuan, so that we are not envious of the high price of others, of course we envy. However, as a start-up courier company in China, it is impossible for us to charge such a high fee. Therefore, we need to start from improving the per capita delivery cost, per capita efficiency and so on. Of course, it is not to say that more harsh squeezing, this is not possible, we do not hesitate to improve the level of our own company's technology, operation and management and so on through a more reasonable and professional level, to optimize logistics costs, and will not deduct labor to achieve profit targets......"
The newly established SF Express Company will give a commission of 0.5 yuan per order to the personnel of the express delivery site. This commission is definitely a very high commission now. Therefore, even many second- and third-rate college graduates now want to send express delivery to SF. Because, SF Express now earns dozens of yuan a day and more than 1,000 yuan a month, which is very easy.
Of course, Wang Wei naturally will not use fresh college students as couriers, at most to experience grassroots life, and then begin to engage in technical and management positions. Of course, some people insist on continuing to deliver express delivery on the front line, so naturally let him do it. After all, now Wang Wei himself has to send at least 10 orders a day, as a way to show that he has not forgotten his original intention, and understands the problems that may be encountered by first-line express delivery.
……
The development of SF Express is currently a rapid progress. Basically, new people are recruited every day, and the run-in and training of the team is done from scratch.
At the same time, there will be tens of thousands of tasks to SF every day, starting at 2 yuan per order, and it is conservatively estimated that there are orders of 5~100,000 yuan a day, and the orders of Tesco will continue to grow. Therefore, SF Express is only receiving orders from Tesco.com, which is enough for the newly recruited team to have a lot of training opportunities.
At the same time, Wang Wei not only cooperates with Tesco.com, but also actively cooperates with some manufacturers, retailers, and wholesalers to transport goods to designated locations. Since the domestic economy is now in a stage of rapid development, SF Express has taken the initiative to find business and develop customers, and the business has been done quickly.
"Mr. Lin, SF Express only has half a year left this year, so the revenue will probably be more than 50 million. However, next year, I think 200 million in income should be no problem. Wang Wei took the development plan and said to Lin Qi, "Of course, it can be faster, after all, we have 500 million funds." However, I think it is better to have a stable foundation in the early stage, and wait until our IT system and sorting center are more perfect, and then the expansion period. At the same time, we now need to negotiate cooperation with domestic railway, shipping, civil aviation and other transportation companies, and we also need our transportation orders to be more stable in order to negotiate a good price. In the future, I even plan to become my own freight company and use airplanes to transport my own products. Of course...... This is not now, but in the future, when we have business needs, we are ready to buy aircraft. ”
"Tell me when you need to buy a plane!" Lin Qi said, "I don't mind continuing to fund the money needed for the project!"
Wang Wei couldn't help but sigh for a while, Mr. Lin was awesome, he didn't put forward a profit requirement at all, but put forward a longer-term goal, and when he needed to burn money to achieve a long-term goal, Mr. Lin still said a word, and waited until he needed the money to find him. Following this kind of boss to do things behind undoubtedly saves a lot of energy and time to go out to raise funds.
