Chapter 137 Supply Chain

The car was high, Guo Tao asked Zhou Liwen why he suddenly remembered to go back to Huacheng in advance, in order to avoid Guo Tao thinking too much, Zhou Liwen did not tell him about the possible changes in the group and his real plans, but only talked about the logistics project of the Li family.

"That's a good thing!" Guo Tao was excited when he heard this, patting his thigh and laughing, if he can win the logistics project of the Li family, Guo's business volume will at least more than double, which is what any logistics company dreams of.

"I'll discuss with Lao Zhang when I go back to the company, and come up with a plan as much as possible!" Guo Tao was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and before he skimmed the eight characters, he counted how much business he could have, and how much profit he could create for the company.

"It's not that simple." Zhou Liwen was afraid that his head would be hot, so he deliberately poured cold water: "This project has to be publicly tendered in April, due to bidding reasons, the profit is definitely not as good as the stall I am now in my hand, but the good thing is that the project volume is large, and the profit is still good from the overall point of view, if it can be taken down, it will be very beneficial to Guo's future exhibition." ”

"How could you not take it?" Guo Tao smiled without worrying at all: "With the private help of this kid Hao, coupled with the relationship between your Xiaoya and the Li family, this project is basically nine out of ten." By the way, I'm weird, Ah Hao, this kid seems to have mentioned giving us part of their logistics business, right? Didn't you say no? Why are you so concerned this time? ”

"One yard to one yard." Zhou Liwen then took a puff of the cigarette that Guo Tao helped him light, held the steering wheel in his left hand, and pointed to his head with his right hand holding the cigarette: "Do you think I didn't want to, but if I really agreed to him at the beginning, even if I did business with a relationship, it was only a small part, how much money can I make with such a little business?" Where can't you make this money, why should you owe someone a favor because of this? Now it's different, since the Li family has decided to outsource all the logistics, as long as our service is in place, the capacity is satisfied, and the quotation is moderate, this is business! There is a saying abroad that I think makes sense, how to say it...... Business is business, that's pretty much it. ”

"You ...... guy." Guo Tao smiled dumbly, feeling that Zhou Liwen paid too much attention to these, according to his opinion, what kind of business and friendship, China is not a foreign country, where can business and human relations be so clear, not to mention that foreigners are also people, this is said to be so, but the ghost knows what to do, he doesn't believe that foreigners do business, so they don't talk about relationships.

Guo Tao looked disapproving, Zhou Liwen just smiled and didn't explain much, but for the logistics project cooperation of the Li family, he still planned to take the formal bidding as an opportunity to win it directly, and try to put the friendship aside. Of course, Zhou Liwen also understands in his heart that in the final selection of the logistics company, the Li family will definitely take care of Guo's family, which is also inevitable, but no matter what, these are still two natures, this is probably not only Zhou Liwen thinks so, but also the Li family's potential meaning, otherwise Lin Sen would not have specially told him about the bidding issue.

In terms of capacity, it is easy to solve, and the old master Zhang Zhen is also relieved in Zhou Liwen, but there is one thing he still needs Guo Tao to implement, that is, a large part of this logistics project involves international transportation, and Guo has not yet carried out this business, so it is necessary to prepare for sea and air transportation before the bidding, and in addition, the transportation of container trailers must also be launched.

"I'm not familiar with this!" When Zhou Liwen put forward this consideration, Guo Tao was a little dumbfounded, thought about it, and found out the phone and planned to call Zhang Zhen and ask him if he had any channels for international transportation.

"Stop fighting, I've thought about it."

"Do you have a channel?" Guo Tao asked strangely.

"There is no channel, but it has a relationship, do you remember when we went to Minato Ward before?"

"Section Chief Wang!" Guo Tao had a flash of inspiration, raised his hand and patted his head and smiled: "Yes, yes, yes!" How did I forget him? I still have his business card, I'll talk to him as soon as I get back. ”

Zhou Liwen told him a few key points when chatting with Section Chief Wang, pointing out that Section Chief Wang only needed to deal with the problems of the Customs Inspection Department and the warehouse in the port area, and didn't talk about anything else. For the shipping business, Zhou Liwen instructed Guo Tao to go directly to the shipping company to contact the shipping agency, first connect the head, and wait for him to get the Li family's export business container volume plan jΓΉ to get the number of containers and then directly negotiate the price with the shipping company with the container volume, if you can get the internal price or the agreed price is the best, as long as these two links are done, the other qiΔ“ is not a problem.

In 2ooo years, the profits of international logistics are still good, until five or six years later, with the threshold of international logistics lowered, large and small freight forwarding companies have sprung up, and disorderly price competition has caused a sharp decline in shipping profits. When the next generation crisis in the United States broke out, the international market began to decline, and the international logistics industry was further impacted. After 2O1O, the RMB continued to appreciate externally, and international logistics was settled using US dollar foreign exchange, which caused further compression of profits, and then the country began to implement logistics value-added tax, which further suppressed the international logistics exhibition, thus making the former gold industry become yesterday's yellow flower.

However, these are all things in the future, at least in a few years the freight forwarding industry is still a good investment, especially the freight companies that hold a large number of import and export business, is the object of the shipping companies eager to woo. Zhou Liwen values the logistics project of the Li family, one of the main other points is to look at these large number of import and export sources, if Guo can win the project, it will complete his original goal of Guo Shi's exhibition, so that Guo Shi has become a full supply chain service from packaging warehouse - road transportation - container shipping (air transportation) - landing customs clearance - 6 trailers - destination factory (warehouse).

According to Zhou Liwen's knowledge, in the next ten years, the country will invest hundreds of billions of dollars in construction projects in the Middle East, India, Pakistan, Africa and other places every year, and these projects have high transportation requirements, cumbersome links but extremely lucrative .......

With Zhou Liwen's description of the prospects of the industry, if it weren't for being in the car, Guo Tao would happily even want to dance. Until he was eating at the high service station halfway, Guo Tao was still excitedly asking questions.

After driving all morning, Zhou Liwen felt a little tired, and handed over the right to control the steering wheel to Guo Tao in the afternoon. After finishing the meal and resting a little, Zhou Liwen just fastened the safety belt when the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

"Mr. Zhou! Happy New Year! Congratulations! I'm Lao Sha! ”

"Lao Sha? Sand Hosa Boss? Hehe, you also have a good New Year, congratulations Cai! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! That's me....... Sha Zihao's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone, he laughed and wished the New Year first, and then told Zhou Liwen that he had returned to Goose City, and in a few days friends from Taiwan would also come over, on the one hand, this call was to give Zhou Liwen New Year's greetings, on the other hand, to inquire about whether there was anything about the consignment of Zhou Liwen Group before, and finally invited Zhou Liwen to come to Goose City as a guest.
