Chapter 139: Century Logistics
Just as Fang Yi was closing his eyes and thinking, there was a knock on the door of the office, Fang Yi opened his eyes, saw that it was Huang Tao, stretched out his hand and beckoned, and said, "Brother Tao, I haven't seen you for so long, why are you still seeing me like this, what are you knocking on?"
Huang Tao walked over and sat opposite Fang Yi and said, "Mr. Fang, now is not as good as before, you are now the leader of the Century Group, all our brothers are begging for a life under your banner, there should still be rules, it is impossible to mess up the dignity and humility just because we were brothers before."
Fang Yi smiled and took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from the drawer and threw them to him and said, "Brother Tao, then, I don't smoke, you are free to do it alone", as the saying goes, smoke is with gas grass, there is no cigarette among smokers that cannot be close, if there is one, then two.
Huang Tao lit the fire and spit out a smoke ring and said, "Mr. Fang, I heard that you are looking for me?"
Fang Yi also picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip and said, "Yes, Brother Tao, we brothers, you said how long it has been since we met, if you don't get together again, you may forget me."
Huang Tao sat up straight and said, "Mr. Fang, you can blame my brother for saying this, I think about my brothers every day."
Fang Yi didn't believe his words at all and asked, "Brother Tao, how is the sales of your software company recently?"
Huang Tao said with a smile, "We have occupied Sichuan Province and several surrounding provinces and cities, and now we are gradually advancing to the periphery, and we are preparing to advance to Hui Province and Henan Province next month."
Fang Yi also laughed and said, "It seems that Brother Tao's pocket is getting more and more bulging."
Huang Tao glanced at Fang Yi's eyes, didn't see anything wrong, and said, "Is there any?"
After a simple snort, Fang Yi said with a straight face, "Brother Tao, now your software sales company has been straightened out, right?"
Huang Tao nodded and said, "Yes, after the hectic situation in the early stage, now all kinds of sales promotion strategies have been very mature and solidified, as long as the recruitment is promoted, the final thing is to collect the money."
Fang Yi said affirmatively, "Brother Tao, your software sales company provided rich cash flow at the most difficult time for the company, and on behalf of the entire group, I would like to express my gratitude to you, but now, I think you are going to be busy again."
Huang Tao suddenly became interested and said, "Brother, because the software sales company is getting smoother and smoother, and there are fewer and fewer things that can make my brother and me worry about it, I feel a bit like I am in retirement, Chen Zhao, Tang Chun, and you are sending them far away, so that I can't even find anyone to chat with, brother, do you have a new task for me?"
Fang Yi knew that this guy couldn't be idle, and said, "It's still our brother Tao who understands me, you are the big brother of our dormitory, isn't there a good saying, if you have difficulties, find a big brother."
Huang Tao secretly said in his heart, is there such a sentence? Why haven't I heard of it, he smiled and said, "If there is anything, you can say it, as long as you don't sell me for more than 100 catties, brother, where do you point to my brother?"
Fang Yi organized the language and said, "Brother Tao, that's the case, our group has set up a shopping website C, and now the main purpose is to sell our small C, but as a shopping website, it is impossible to sell only one product, and now our C-shopping network has established three large business divisions, mainly electronic products division, FMCG division, Sporting goods division, you also know that now our country's express delivery industry has just emerged and there is not much time, all kinds of supporting services are not perfect, in order to improve the consumption experience of our customers, so I want to establish our own distribution team, temporarily named Century Logistics, temporarily only serve in our C shopping online goods delivery services"
Huang Tao didn't expect Fang Yi to give him such a big task, he thought about it and said, "Mr. Fang, I also went up to see what you said, but do you know how big our Huaxia is, to establish a logistics company, and arrange all the cities in Huaxia with our people, what a huge organization it must be, for so many people and so many things, I think about it."
In fact, Fang Yi did not want to start establishing his own logistics company at this time, but in the previous life, Fang Yi deeply felt that if there was no logistics of his own, a shopping website could be played to death by the outbreak of distribution and trust crisis at any time.
At the same time, Fang Yi also felt that it was a bit heavy to hand over this burden to Huang Tao, and said comfortingly, "Brother Tao, we are a team, if you have any problems or anything, you can raise them at any time, and I want to find a way to solve them together." Since you think that our Chinese territory is too big, then let's first step is to establish the logistics system of these 34 provincial capitals and municipalities directly under the central government, and then we will run through these 34 provincial capitals and municipalities directly under the central government, and then push to the prefecture-level cities below, and then push the construction of prefecture-level cities to the next level of counties, smaller than the county administrative area, let's not consider it first, if it is still too big, we can first eliminate the two provinces of Tibet Province and Xinjiang Province."
Huang Tao's heart turned upside down, kept thinking about the various regions on the map of China, thinking about how much manpower and material resources are needed to build a huge logistics company, and said after thinking for a while, "Mr. Fang, we are all studying finance, do you really think that establishing your own logistics company will really make C shopping network rich?" Even if you put 5 people in a county and 50 people in a prefecture-level city, if you think about it, how many people do we need for this logistics team, how much salary will be paid every month, and even if they are allowed to ride bicycles, it will be an astronomical amount."
In fact, Fang Yi secretly calculated the relevant input-output ratio when he wanted to establish his own logistics company, Fang Yi said, "You only see the input, but have you ever thought about the output, a courier delivers 50 pieces of goods a day is more conservative, a piece of goods is calculated at a cost of 6 yuan, then he can create a value of 300 yuan a day, and it is 9000 yuan a month, but do you calculate what is the average salary of a courier now, can it exceed 1,000?" In 2000, not long after Huaxia entered the population of Manulife, the reform and opening up after being imprisoned by long-term thoughts, the vast number of unemployed young people in the city, the surplus labor force in the countryside were pushed to jobs, the level of productivity in Huaxia that had just opened up was still very low, and the jobs in the whole society were only so little, so many surplus labor force looking for jobs, under the supply and demand relationship of the market economy, the supply far exceeded the demand, what kind of low level would the wages be suppressed, Fang Yi expected that no more than 1000 is already a very large estimate, and the actual situation is not even 500。
Huang Tao seemed to be moved when he heard Fang Yi's words, if he could lead such a huge team to shuttle through the streets and alleys of a big city, it would be a long time to have a sense of achievement. Said "Okay, leave this job to me, I'll say okay, when I ask you for help, everyone in the company can't shirk because of this and that."
Fang Yi saw that Huang Tao agreed so simply, and said happily, "Certainly, definitely, but Brother Tao, let me remind you again, our country's current logistics industry has 4 links, 1 to 5 major express companies, you can go to their company to dig a few people who can be motivated, so that our century logistics company will take a lot of detours."
Huang Tao nodded and agreed to undertake this work, Fang Yi said again, "Brother Tao, you first sort out the team and the operation plan, I am going to Hong Kong tomorrow, this time I will stay for nearly a month, and when I come back, you will basically do this work, when the time comes, we will review the plan together, and then start the formal implementation, before chopping wood, let's try to sharpen the knife as fast as possible."
The affairs of the Century Group have been arranged, Fang Yi chose to arrive in Guangzhou on September 14, and went to Hong Kong together after meeting Zheng Rongjun in Guangzhou.
When Fang Yi and Zheng Rongjun arrived in Hong Kong, it was already half past three in the afternoon, in the Hong Kong International Financial Center, Li Sen had already been waiting for Fang Yi's arrival in the office, Fang Yi had just entered the door, and before he put down his bag, he was pulled to his office by Li Sen, pressed it to his seat and said, "Boss, you can be regarded as coming, you look at this market, with an ancient poem of your Chinese people, it is: flying down three thousand feet"
Fang Yi looked at the inventory and said with a sigh, "With such a decline, I don't know what kind of free fall the entire Hong Kong stock market will land in, how many assets will evaporate, and how many speculators will die."
Li Sen didn't know what Fang Yi sighed there and said, "Boss, where do you think this wave of decline will continue to fall?"
Fang Yi looked at the plate and said, "This is not accurate, look at the falling frame, and the bursting of the Internet bubble in Europe and the United States after the second half of this year, will lead to the weakness of the entire economy, if this weakness produces multiple fermentations, it may form an economic crisis"
Li Sen listened to Fang Yi's words, smiled and said, "The boss said that you have to be too alarmist, it is impossible to produce an economic crisis, because Europe and the United States have not yet come out of the economic crisis in 1998, since they have not yet come out of the economic crisis, then there will be no more economic crisis, the biggest possibility is to expand this crisis even more, in short, they are more lice and are not afraid of itching"
Fang Yi also feels the same way, but most of the current worldwide economic crises are caused by the United States, and they often take advantage of their advantage that the dollar is the world's settlement currency, and when the US economy is in danger of a downturn, the giants led by the Federal Reserve manipulate the leverage of the dollar and force the world to share the economic risks and pressures of the United States.
