The next day, until 10 o'clock in the morning, Liu Fangfei had not seen Mu Dong come to work. She couldn't help muttering a little, the boss's itinerary was all arranged by herself, and there were no activities?

After some pondering, Liu Fangfei gave up the idea of calling Mu Dong, since the boss didn't say it, then he had his reasons, don't ask more.

Faintly, Liu Fangfei felt that something was wrong, she rolled her eyes, and called Dadong Express, saying that there was a document to be transferred to Mr. Zhu, and the reply was that Mr. Zhu was on a business trip.

Liu Fangfei was happy, hehe, Mr. Mu must have gone to Guangdong Province with Mr. Zhu to see Fang Xiaojie.

Well, I didn't tell myself, I guess I wanted to surprise Fang Xiaojie, afraid that I would leak the news.

Hmph, am I that kind of person?

Liu Fangfei guessed correctly, Mu Dong and Zhu Xuesong, as well as several executives of Dadong Express Corporation, were chatting on the fast-flying Gulfstream G550.

Dadong Express has developed rapidly in recent years, the earliest batch of employees who joined the company have grown rapidly, freight supervisor Tan Sanjie has concurrently served as the deputy general manager of Dadong Express, and Liu Guisheng, the manager of the operation department, has been promoted to the director of operations, and even Yang Jianwei, who followed Zhu Xuesong to create a business in the province, has also become the director of the marketing department.

Boss Mu is nostalgic for the old, and Dadong Express has indeed grown up rapidly with the joint efforts of many old employees, and they can be promoted and raised, which is well deserved.

Everyone took this precious opportunity to be alone with Boss Mu to discuss some of the current problems faced by Dadong's express cabinet business.

In fact, Mu Dong's idea of applying for a patent for an express cabinet was not implemented in the end, and he had enough aura on his body, so he should not be in the limelight.

Therefore, Mu Dong quietly contacted Suzhou Zixin Company and told the engineer Liu Dong his idea, so that they could manufacture the physical object and apply for a utility model patent. At the same time, Mudong promised to buy in large quantities.

There is only one condition for Boss Mu, which is to enjoy the exclusive right to use patented products within two years from the date of patent approval. In other words, after two years, Suzhou Zixin can sell express cabinet products to other customers.

The patent in the utility model has a patent protection period of 10 years, and Boss Mu's request is very sincere.

A week ago, Suzhou Zixin reported that the utility model patent of the express cabinet had been approved.

In order to seize the market, two months ago, Dadong Express has begun to promote the express cabinet business, and has set up a special secondary branch - Dadong Yizhan Company.

Two months have passed, and we quickly found that the current people's acceptance of new things is very fast, and more than 1,000 sets of express cabinets have been installed in Ludong Province, and the usage rate is very high. Especially in many communities, the express cabinet is regarded as the savior of the rescue room, and the willingness to install is very high, and even some properties take the initiative to contact Dadong Yizhan Company to request installation as soon as possible.

The government has also affirmed this new thing, and praised the express cabinet for solving the problem of "the last 100 meters", which is worth vigorously promoting.

The hot scene finally attracted the attention of people in the industry, so some shrewd people began to imitate, and now several express cabinet operating companies have sprung up in China, and everyone doesn't care about any patents, and directly imitates them roughly. Some people also slightly changed the layout of the express cabinet, and many companies changed the color and copied it as it was.

Made, isn't this a patent infringement?

So, today, taking this opportunity, everyone wants to hear Mu Dong's opinion.

After listening to the introduction, Mu Dong pondered for a while and asked slowly: "Do you have any expectations for the difficulties you may encounter in the next step?"

Zhu Xuesong said: "We feel that the difficulties have just begun, patent infringement is only the first step, and the later stage will face the fierce competition among peers, the growth of entry fees, geographical protection and other three major problems, Mr. Mu, these are actually most of us can overcome, now the core problem is that this is a money-burning project, there is no profit point, can we install a display screen on the express cabinet to play advertising? ”

Mu Dong smiled and said, "Your prediction is quite sufficient, let me say a few points." ”

Several people hurriedly pricked up their ears to listen, and some people even took out a small notebook to record.

"First, the problem of patent infringement must be solved by Suzhou Zixin, but you don't have too much hope, such a thing is likely to take several years and spend a lot of money, but in the end it will not be resolved. So, it's just pretending to scare the faint of heart. ”

"Second, there are several other difficulties that we need to work on to overcome. Whether it is fighting financial resources or manpower, Dadong Yizhan can afford to fight, I have only one requirement, to ensure the promotion rate, we must firmly hold the first position in the express cabinet industry, if there is a problem, you have to play the board. ”

"Thirdly, regarding the profit model, there is really no hope now, because we are now open to all courier companies and free to use. Not only us, but anyone who enters this industry has no profit point. What I can tell you is that the express cabinet is a key part of our company's big data operation, and these data are really valuable things. In addition, with the increase in operating costs, the express delivery industry can not always be in a low-cost operation mode, the cost of human resources will be higher and higher, at that time, who has a courier cabinet in hand, who will have more advantages. ”

Zhu Xuesong answered: "Mr. Mu, do you mean that in the future, there may be two modes of self-pickup and door-to-door delivery of express cabinets, and the prices of the two models are different?"

Mu Dong snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "That's right, I guess it will be like this." ”

Zhu Xuesong became excited: "In that case, if our express cabinet is for the company's own use, we can occupy the advantage of the industry, and if it is open to peers, we can charge a fee." ”

Mu Dong nodded: "My prediction is so. As for the display screen that Cedar just said, it's good to be able to actively think of a way, but the execution of this idea is not high. This is different from the display screen inside and outside the elevator, the time to pick up the express is in seconds, and the time to wait for the elevator is minutes, the time is too fragmented, and the commercial value of the advertisement is too low. ”

Zhu Xuesong scratched his head: "I'm just thinking about it." ”

The captain began to make an announcement, and the plane was about to land. Everyone ended the conversation, fixed the seat belt, and with a sense of weightlessness and overweight at the moment of landing, Guangzhou arrived.

This was a raid inspection and commendation for the Guangzhou branch, so no one came to pick up the airport, Fang Jiandong quickly rented two Buick GL8s at the airport and drove to the Guangdong branch of Dadong Express.

The Guangdong branch is divided into two parts: the urban office and the suburban sorting center, and everyone goes to the office location. In fact, this office location also takes over some of the functions of the downtown outlets.

It is a street-facing courtyard of about 1,000 square meters, and at the end of the courtyard is a small three-story building. The vehicle drove into the small courtyard and did not cause any reaction, and the people in the courtyard were busy.

Mu Dong and the others got out of the car and watched. I saw two vans unloading in the yard, and more than a dozen tricycles were waiting to be loaded.

Unlike many places, the unloading here is not one by one, but plastic transfer baskets, basket by basket. In the hot and humid weather of Guangzhou, everyone's faces were covered with sweat, and the clothes on their bodies were also wet marks.

Zhu Xuesong whispered on the side: "Mr. Mu, this yard and the sorting center in the suburbs were bought by the company, and the property rights are clear. In addition, because of the high rent of the façade in Guangzhou and the strict management of the city, the goods have been distributed to the specific courier when sorting in the suburbs, and after arriving in the urban area, there is no need for secondary sorting, and it can be directly delivered by loading it into a basket on a tricycle. This method was invented after Fang Xiaojie arrived, and we are promoting it in some big cities recently. ”

Mu Dong sensitively found the problem and asked directly: "...... large express and special-shaped express mail?"

Before he finished speaking, Boss Mu smiled himself, and asked more! Of course, he also sorted people and unloaded the truck directly, and some large pieces were larger than the transfer basket.

A group of several people finally attracted attention, and someone stepped forward and asked, "May I ask you...... Mr. Zhu!"

People who came were surprised, and it turned out to be Zhu Xuesong, the general manager of Dadong Express.

Zhu Xuesong once dealt with the violations of the previous management in the Guangdong branch and was resident for a period of time, so many employees know him.

At this moment, Mr. Zhu asked with a smile: "Xiao Wang, is Mr. Fang still in the hospital?"

Xiao Wang hurriedly said: "I was discharged from the hospital yesterday afternoon, and I was in a meeting in the office, so I will take you over." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Wang led the way, but he didn't notice that there was another leader in the crowd who was bigger than Zhu Xuesong.

Mu Dong looked at it while walking, although the yard was busy, it was well organized, the small building had obviously been repainted, and it looked very clean, and in a corner of the yard, a few people were busy picking and washing vegetables, it should be that the room was preparing meals.

Well, it is almost a copy of No. 32 Luda Road, Quancheng, when Dadong Express was first established, but the yard is smaller.

The conference room was on the first floor, and Mu Dong heard Fang Xiaojie's crisp voice echoing in the corridor.

"I've only been hospitalized for two days, and the volume of pickups has dropped by 15%, even if the weather affects the volume of shipments, but such a big decline is absolutely intolerable, you must pay attention to it......"

Mu Dong smiled knowingly and gently unscrewed the door.

Fang Xiaojie, who was sitting on the main seat of the oval conference table, was tired for a while, who is this, come in without knocking, she turned her head angrily, but opened her mouth wide in surprise, and she didn't close it for a long time.

"Fang Xiaojie, are you in a meeting?" Mu Dong asked with a smile

"Mu ...... Mr. Mu, why are you here?" Fang Xiaojie said with a stumbling forehead, completely losing the impassioned majesty just now.

Mr. Mu: The other people sitting in the room were taken aback, Mr. Mu of the group company?
