Chapter 389: Negotiated

"Director Hu, hello, hello!" Liao Chengzhi shook hands with the business manager, Manager Hu, and said politely. The Railway Bureau is a state-owned unit at the department level, and Manager Hu is at the level of director general, so he likes others to call him Director Hu instead of Manager Hu. Because the manager doesn't bring the president, he doesn't make a sound.

After shaking hands, Director Hu asked Liao Chengzhi suspiciously: "Mr. Liao, is there anything you have to do with your visit today?" Director Hu knew that Spring Logistics was a subsidiary of Changsheng Investment Group, so he was more polite. Who doesn't know about the Changsheng Investment Group today? Their company's annual turnover is the same as the country's annual economic data, and it has to be disclosed. Because it is too large, it is more inspiring to the morale of the people.

"Director Hu, I am here today to further cooperate with your Railway Bureau. Liao Chengzhi said simply.

Liao Chengzhi's words, as if the article had only begun, made Director Hu hear the clouds, so he asked again: "Cooperation? What kind of cooperation law?"

Liao Chengzhi explained with a smile: "Director Hu, that's the case, our company has newly established a spring express. There are a lot of business, but it is relatively scattered, just within the scope of your bureau. I have two ideas, the first is the normalization of freight trains, which are used to consign relatively large goods, as well as logistics goods.

The second is that I would like to set up a station at each railway station of your bureau to carry goods using the luggage trunks of the passenger train carriers. ”

In fact, Liao Chengzhi's second thought is the main purpose of his visit today, the freight train only sends one flight a day, and it does not stop in the middle, which is still not flexible and convenient enough, and the timeliness is not high. But the passenger train is different, it departs at all times and stops at various stations along the way, which is much more time-sensitive and flexible.

For example, if an express is sent from Guangzhou, it may only need to Chenzhou, if it is still a freight train, it can only go to Changsha first, and then transport it from Changsha to Chenzhou by car, which is not only time-consuming but also quite expensive. However, if you use a passenger train to consign, then you can drop off the goods directly at Chenzhou Station, and its flexibility is clear to everyone.

"Hmm...... I don't see any benefit to our railway bureau for the time being, but it seems to be just convenient for you. Of course, the normalization of freight trains, I think it is feasible, as for you to set up points at our railway stations, I think it will be forgotten! After all, it will affect the reputation of our railway bureau a little, as if we can only live by you. Director Hu pondered it for a while and denied Liao Chengzhi's idea.

Liao Chengzhi listened to Director Hu's words, and his heart was cold, it seems that today is destined to be in vain. He knew that the railway department liked to eat alone, and they would never want to see other logistics or express stores at the railway station, otherwise other logistics companies would have taken the lead. He thought for a moment and then asked Director Hu: "Director Hu, can we cooperate with the baggage check-in offices of the railway stations of your bureau? We do not set up points at the railway stations, and we also check luggage like other passengers, because there are more goods, so we send people to help load and unload the goods, that is to say, our goods, the baggage check-in office only need to be weighed once, and we will do the rest by ourselves." So, can we get some discounts?"

"That's ...... Yes, but your staff can't wear conspicuous spring logistics clothing, and your goods can't use conspicuous spring express logos, anyway, so that passengers can't see that they are the goods of your spring logistics company. Can you do it?" Director Hu thought for a while and thought it was no problem, so he agreed, but he made two more requests.

"Director Hu, this doesn't seem to be a hindrance, right?" Liao Chengzhi asked Director Hu pretending to be very incomprehensible. He also wanted to try his best to fight for it, the staff did not wear uniforms, but it was better to say that the packaging of goods did not use the logo of spring express and it was more troublesome. Because all of their packaging bags, cartons, sorting boxes, pallets, forklifts, etc., all have the logo of Spring Express.

Here is one more thing to say, the spring express delivery of goods turnover is more scientific, all the goods are not directly exposed, all with the finishing box boxing, divided into several size levels, that is, the community, school, the company such as this, from the receipt of the goods until the customer signs for the receipt, the goods are in the sorting box, absolutely ensure that the goods are not damaged. The specification is that one consignment board just fits 4 large sorting boxes, of course, the above can be accumulated. A large organizer can hold 12 small organizers. The sorting boxes are made of high-strength engineering plastics, which are comparable to rigid iron and are very strong. There is also a kind of extra-large sorting box, which itself has the function of a consignment board, which is the same size as the pallet, up to two meters, and is specially designed for consignment of large goods. This may be a bit of a waste of space, but it ensures that the goods are not damaged, which is also the credit of Changsheng Laboratory's quality standards.

"Absolutely not, you have to be like you, and other logistics companies are doing the same, so what does the railway station look like, and it won't become your freight station." Director Hu flatly refused.

Liao Chengzhi couldn't do anything, so he had to agree: "Okay then! Let's find a way to wrap it up and ensure that the logo of the spring express will not be revealed." His idea was to wrap the entire consignment board in a large canvas, and as for the forklift, it had to be repainted.

Liao Chengzhi's words finally satisfied Director Hu. He nodded and said, "Well, as long as you do that, you'll be fine, and as for the discount, I think it's 90% of the travelers!"

"90%? Director Hu, isn't this preferential amount too little? After all, we have a lot of goods. Liao Chengzhi heard Director Hu say 90% and would not agree, and he argued loudly.

"Mr. Liao, it's good enough, our profits are not much, and it is impossible to have too many discounts. If you don't accept it, I can't help it. Director Hu pretended to be very embarrassed and said.

Liao Chengzhi knew that the state-owned unit was like this, and he was very stingy. But the train consignment was relatively cheap, so he had to grit his teeth and agree: "Okay then! Director Hu, let's sign a contract!" What do you think?"

Signing a contract is as it should be. State-run units attach more importance to these. Therefore, Director Hu readily agreed. In this way, Spring Express finally opened the consignment channel for passenger trains. They rent a shop outside the train station, which not only receives deliveries, but also delivers goods onto and off the train.

Today's logistics companies can't do that. Because their goods are all bulk, it is difficult to sort. And the spring express is a sorting box, with a destination logo on the outside. Not only can a city and a county be sorted, but even sorted to the community level. Moreover, Hunan and Guangdong have opened a light-year network. When did the goods arrive, what kind of goods did they have, and even which boxes were there? They knew at a glance.

Spring Express also has two proprietary delivery vehicles. The first is a van simplified from the Tang Dynasty m6, called the Spring Speedy, and the second is the Spring C1.

The van is responsible for the delivery from the store to the freight sorting center, and one store has a limited amount of goods, so it must be sent to the freight sorting center for unified packing. There is also a pick-up of goods from the freight sorting center back to the store. Generally, there is only one van in a store, and there are a little more in the train station, there may be several, and some even have small vans. Their position is more important, they are responsible for sending from the railway station to the freight sorting center, there are more goods, and of course there are more vehicles.

The spring C1 is the special car of the courier, just like the three-wheeled electric vehicle of the current courier company, and the courier is responsible for receiving the goods from the customer and delivering the courier to the customer. Generally, a courier is responsible for a street or several neighborhoods, schools, companies, and so on. It is very unsafe to have to shuttle on the road every day and use a three-wheeled electric vehicle. And it is not formal, no wonder the courier company of later generations is often checked by the traffic police, if there are several traffic accidents, the pressure of the traffic police is also very great.

You know that, too. The Spring C1 is a very beautiful miniature car, its prototype is a BMW mini, but the shape adopts a Beetle-like design style, which is even more beautiful than the BMW mini.

It's because C1 is so beautiful in the spring, so there is such an interesting love story, let me tell you about it.

Ms. Zhang, a white-collar worker in a foreign-funded company in Guangzhou, has a relatively high salary and a very relaxed life, and she not only bought a house in Guangzhou, but also wants to buy a car.

Her hometown is Changsha, because the economic conditions are better, so she often buys things to send back to her parents, which used to be generally consigned through China Post or through Guangzhou Railway Station, which is very troublesome. In particular, the goods consigned through the railway station are generally relatively large in size, such as some large household appliances. She is a woman, and it can be said that her fingers do not touch the spring water, and she can't hold it at all, so she often has to ask male colleagues to help carry it. But she was afraid that her male colleagues would misunderstand what she thought of him, and she was very distressed.

One day, she saw a psoriasis advertisement for spring delivery in the stairwell downstairs of the community. I think that's the best way for her to ship. So she copied the phone number on the spot. When the weather was cold, she bought a winter suit for each of her parents, so she called the courier company.

"Hey, is it the Spring Express?"

"Yes, is there anything I can do to help you?" replied the courier, Xiao Wang. Miss Zhang's community is in charge of him, so the phone number on that psoriasis ad is his.

"I have a few pieces of clothing to send to Changsha, are you responsible for door-to-door collection and delivery?" Ms. Zhang asked him.

"Yes, it's all clearly written on the advertisement, and the services written on it are our promises to our customers. Xiao Wang replied affirmatively.

"Then you come to Unit 2, Building 5, Liuhua Home! When you get there, call me and I'll come down." Miss Zhang made a decision without any thought. Either way, give it a try. A few pieces of clothing were light, and she could take downstairs. She is a single woman, and she doesn't dare to ask a strange man to come to her house, so she only asks Xiao Wang to pick up the goods downstairs.

…… To be continued

The second one is sent.
