Chapter 583: Different
Chapter 583 is different
Lin Rong turned her head to take a look, and immediately twisted back and said, "They are going to store valuables."
"Storing valuables?" Su Aijun said in surprise, "There is still this service in the car?"
"Yes, Mr. Milton brought it up, and he thought it made sense, so he asked for it. Lin Rong explained. The passenger trains on the Fengtong Railway provide passengers with the storage of valuables, such as cameras, jewelry, cash, etc. Access fees start at $1 and go up to $10.
"The highest ten yuan, that's not expensive" Su Aijun nodded and said, today's Pingchuan, the wholesale place of small commodities is already worthy of the name, and the small commodities here are not only merchants from Qinxi Province, but even merchants from the five northwestern provinces and neighboring provinces of Qinxi Province have come here to purchase. In '93, bank services were not as convenient and fast as they were later, and it was not easy for private individuals to use cheques, so many individual businesses and small business owners had to carry large amounts of cash with them, and the train was crowded with people, which was a favorite place for thieves. And the provision of such a service on the train will naturally be welcomed by these people.
"It's just that the journey is a little too short, so there aren't many people who go to save. In addition to giving us a good reputation, this business does not have half a penny of profit, and we have to put money into it. Lin Rong muttered quietly.
Fang Mingyuan just didn't hear it, at this point, Lin Rong was more concerned about cost control than Lin Lian, and she didn't like it when she couldn't reach the break-even project.
Su Aijun glanced at Fang Mingyuan knowingly, obviously, this is also a pilot, if the effect is really good, he can ask Su Huandong to promote it in the future. It is believed that on long-distance passenger trains, this business will definitely be welcomed. It's just that Su Aijun feels that how to control these people from stealing without guarding is a troublesome matter. However, since Fang Mingyuan dared to make this decision, he naturally already had corresponding countermeasures.
As he spoke, he saw the crew on the car pushing a shopping cart from the side of the carriage, and from time to time someone asked for the price of shopping, Su Aijun noticed that the price of these goods was also set quite low, basically equivalent to the price of ordinary commissary goods in the town.
"This is also his decision?" Su Aijun pointed at Fang Mingyuan and asked with a smile. You must know that all people who have taken the train know that near the train station, including the train station and on the train, all the goods are of high quality, high price, and you don't negotiate anyway, there are many people in Huaxia, and there are many people who need to take the train every day, these people don't care about the reputation of any business, and they don't care about any repeat customers, slaughtering one is one.
"Yes, the whole journey of the Fengtong Railway is only 138 kilometers, and the original slow train has to drive for nearly five hours, and people stay on the train for a long time. But now that he has changed to an express train, the whole journey is only more than an hour, if you sell goods like that, I'm afraid this will become an ornament, and no one wants to be the wronged boss. That's why he demanded that the price of goods must be brought down. In this case, it is the quantity that wins. Lin Rong said in a low voice, "Actually, our profits are not low, and the cost is much lower if the goods are purchased from Carrefour Supermarket." ”
"Haha......" Su Aijun couldn't help laughing. That's the benefit of diversification, which naturally reduces costs. If the Pingchuan Railway Transport Company purchases these materials by itself, the purchase price it gets will definitely not be comparable to that of Carrefour Supermarket. Today's Carrefour supermarket has spread all over the country's first-tier cities, and is developing to second-tier cities, the number of branches has exceeded 150, in the face of such a big customer, any manufacturer that dare not slacken. Naturally, the purchase price that their purchasers get is also the lowest.
"Mingyuan, the people involved in the Pengyu case have been dealt with, basically according to your request, Xu Nan and that judge were dismissed from public office, and they were clearly prohibited from working in state-owned enterprises and institutions in Qinxi Province, and some other people who were not deeply involved in the case were also punished. However, Mingyuan, I have to remind you that some people in this city and province are quite dissatisfied with you, and there are a lot of rumors, thinking that this still damages the face of the government," Su Aijun lowered his voice.
"Well, I've heard about it too" Fang Mingyuan nodded. He has been mentally prepared for this, and with these people, you have no way to reason. As a member of a state organ, knowing the law and breaking the law, and creating unjust, false and wrongful cases, this does not disgrace the government, but dealing with them, but it damages the government's face, such bullshit logic sounds like a fantasy, but this is true
"This kind of bastard logic, among today's officials, is very marketable, this time Mingyuan you succeeded, but you can't always be like this. Although I am also very unwilling to say this, but sometimes, I really respond to that sentence, people are in the rivers and lakes, and I can't help it" Su Aijun said with emotion. Although it has only been two years since he stepped into the officialdom, Su Aijun feels that his mentality is old, thinking that his father has been mixed with officialdom all his life, this kind of psychological exhaustion, he is afraid that he has endured it for many years.
"I understand, Uncle Su, you have to change slowly like a frog boiled in cold water, until even if they are aware of it, they are powerless to change, and then it is done. Hehe, I don't know if I can see it in my lifetime" Fang Mingyuan sneered.
"Smack" Su Aijun gave him a burst chestnut, and said angrily, "If you don't know if you can see it, then I will definitely not be able to see it" Lin Rong and Chen Zhong and the others who accompanied him covered their mouths and snickered one by one.
With the rapid accumulation of personal wealth of the Fang family and Fang Mingyuan, there are only a handful of people who dare to knock on Fang Mingyuan's head now.
Since the small station in the middle does not stop, it only took 40 minutes for the train to arrive at the Pingchuan County Railway Station.
Everyone got off the train, Pingchuan County Railway Station is not the same as before, although it can not be compared with Fengyuan Railway Station, but in Qinxi Province, it can be regarded as reaching the standard of those prefecture-level cities. In a county-level railway station, it can definitely be called top-notch. Everyone walked out of the station along the passage, and Su Aijun felt strange that here, he didn't see a scene at the entrance of the domestic railway station - that is, whenever a passenger left the station, it was like a swarm of bees to greet the women who solicited customers for the hotel.
However, he soon noticed that not far from the exit, there was a parasol, under which a table and chairs were placed, and a row of people were sitting, and in front of the tables and chairs was a large billboard with not only photos but also the price of accommodation, which looked like all hotels in Pingchuan. There are quite a few passengers who have left the station gate and are walking in that direction.
Fang Mingyuan noticed his gaze and said with a smile: "This is what Mr. Milton meant, he thinks that if the sales staff of these hotels are allowed to solicit customers like before, it will not only cause chaos at the entrance of the railway station, but also be prone to many problems." Therefore, he stipulated that all hotels that want to solicit customers here must pay a certain amount of deposit to the train station before they can enter the hotel to solicit customers. If a passenger complains to the station and it is verified, the hotel will deduct the corresponding amount from the deposit to compensate the passenger if it does not compensate the passenger for the loss. Haha, now not only Pingchuan, but also the corresponding stations on the Fengtong Railway have promoted this regulation. I think the effect is remarkable, the travelers can stay more confidently, and there is a lot less trouble outside the station. ”
"That's all, no fees or anything like that?" asked Su Aijun with a smile.
"There are no fees, and as long as they are sure to withdraw, the deposit will be refunded to them the next month. Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Then don't you have to pay for the extra affairs because of this?" Su Aijun is even more strange, one more transaction will naturally cost a lot more, even if Fang Mingyuan is rich, he can't afford to spend money here.
"It doesn't cost money, and if we put a deposit in our hands, we can play a lot of tricks. In this way, it is equivalent to getting an interest-free loan with no number of years," Lin Rong smiled proudly. Although the idea was made by Milton, the specific operating procedures also have her credit, how can it be possible to come out without money to work in vain.
Su Aijun patted his head, how could he forget about this A treasure place with a large passenger flow like the train station, these people in the hotel industry are not trying to get in, so the railway station doesn't have to worry about repaying this "loan" at all, even if someone wants to quit, then as long as the news spreads, I'm afraid there will be more people waving money to get in. Although there is a limit to the amount of money that can be paid per hotel, it should be quite a significant amount as long as the amount is reached.
"Go that way" Su Aijun, who left the station, was not in a hurry to leave, he also wanted to see the rest of the railway station in Pingchuan County.
Fang Mingyuan naturally would not refuse, and accompanied him to wander around the train station.
Compared with Fengyuan Railway Station, Pingchuan County Railway Station is not so crowded here, and it also makes people feel much more comfortable staying in the station. There were a lot of vendors selling goods outside the station and inside the station, and Su Aijun paid attention to the price, which was about the same level as an ordinary commissary. Obviously, this is again by taking the goods from the Carrefour supermarket at direct cost to make the difference, and win by volume.
"Why are you so unreasonable?" came the girl's obviously angry voice from somewhere, and it sounded familiar.
Lin Rong obviously heard this voice as well, and couldn't help but look around with Fang Mingyuan. "Hey, isn't that Xiao Yuxin?"
