The development of express delivery is very simple, in the same city, usually recruit more than a dozen salesmen, run to other people's shops every day to hang around, receive goods and pick up goods, and then ride an electric bicycle to send it out.

If it is a medium-sized company that runs business in the province, then you can run by adding a few cars.

Expanding to the whole country, it is to subcontract each province, entrust the aircraft to send the goods out, and the subcontractor there can send the goods after receiving them.

In the future, tens of thousands of express delivery companies, large and small, will be able to live a more nourishing life, which is the reason.

It's just that Xiao Qi wants to do his best, so he can't be so sloppy.

First of all, the first point is that you must not contract out each business location, so many things are not within your control, and it is too easy to ruin your reputation if something happens.

In the future, the grade of Weishenme Shentong, Tiantian, Yuantong, Yunda and other express delivery is not high, and most of them have this factor.

And all those who do haode, such as Shunfeng, DHL, FedEX, UPS, are each branch is its own direct store, unified management and standardized management, it is easy to form brand awareness, bigger and better.

If you want to become a top express company, in addition to Xiaoqi's first step of large-scale land enclosure and construction of logistics parks, there is also an equally important condition - to do a good job in the transportation network!

A successful transport network includes three elements: land, sea and air.

"Sea" refers to the tactics of the sea of people, that is, the army of electric bicycles and electric tricycles in each city forms a people's war. The sea of contention stretches the tentacles of delivery pickups to every corner of the city.

"Land" is naturally land transportation, mainly short- and medium-distance truck transportation, usually the smallest range is between cities. The largest area is the surrounding provinces.

"Air" refers to the airplane, and it is best to be a dedicated cargo plane, which is fast and convenient in time, far better than you and other couriers to compete for a little space under the belly of the passenger plane, which is also the biggest secret of Weishenme Shunfeng Express to stand out from many express deliveries.

Both the "sea" and "land" aspects are easy to handle.

Couriers have begun large-scale training in North China and Jiangnan, with the hand-in-hand teaching of Japanese logistics experts. As soon as they come out, they will be much higher quality than ordinary couriers.

Land transport drivers, cars, is also very easy to do, as long as there is money, good welfare, then a huge logistics fleet will appear in front of you.

The key is on the plane.

Now there are many private airlines in China, and in 2002, the domestic civil aviation industry was reorganized and reformed on a large scale. After the sharp drop in air freight rates in 2003, private airlines sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

But until today, 5 years later, their life is very difficult, and like other industries, the government departments are giving priority to taking care of their sons. Therefore, factors such as scale, routes, allocation of resources, control and so on restrict the development of most private aviation.

Even Dongxing Airlines will collapse next year, followed by Okay Airlines, etc., will also be ordered to suspend business for rectification and go bankrupt.

However, what Xiao Qi wants to do is not a private passenger airline, but a specialized cargo airline.

At the forefront is Shunfeng Express, which in 2003 took advantage of the Civil Aviation Administration. After the bureau lowered the price of each air route, it leased two Yangtze River Express planes. Started to deliver goods for their own express delivery in Guangdong, Dongfang and Lin'an.

However, Shunfeng Express simply did not realize that in the next few years. The development of Huaguo's express delivery industry will reach a crazy level, so now they are only leasing five cargo planes to transport goods.

What Xiao Qi admires most is the operation of large-scale and large funds.

At the beginning, it was necessary to vigorously and quickly occupy the market, and then slowly encircled and suppressed other express delivery industries and became the boss of domestic express delivery.

That's why he spent more than 450 billion to frantically hoard land for logistics parks.

Naturally, the plane is also something that Xiao Qi will be considering.

Starting next month at the latest. The logistics base of Xiaoyao Express is about to start construction.

After the initial construction of the logistics base is completed, there will be a maximum of five months before the inter-city Xiaoyao Express will start to operate.

At that time, the plane should have arrived in China and began to be handed over to the cargo airline formed by Xiao Qi. Slowly try to quickly deliver express mail in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen.

To this end, in the land reserve in Xiao Qi's hands, dozens of acres of land have been bought around almost every important airport in China, and preparations are ready to build distribution centers and quickly disperse and distribute them to various cities and regions.

The only thing that is not under Xiao Qi's control now is the plane itself.

Buying a brand-new cargo plane is definitely the most haode, but the cost is very high, so just like many young people abroad buy a car, if you want to buy it, you must first buy a second-hand one to use it.

Listening to Xiao Qi talk about the idea of doing freight logistics, Branson who had long known UPS, DHL, FedEX and other companies immediately understood what he meant.

"This is easy to do, Europe and the United States have a large number of second-hand aircraft scrapped every year, we don't need to buy retired second-hand aircraft, but two or three years away from the retirement of the aircraft, or the performance is very good, the price is also cheap. After the EFW factory in Germany is retrofitted, you take good care of it, and it will definitely not be a problem to use it for three or five years. Branson gave Xiao Qi this advice.

"In terms of maintenance, you have to help me train a group of people." Xiao Qi said.

Only one's own personnel to maintain and overhaul the aircraft is the most reassuring.

And foreign aircraft maintenance jishu is undoubtedly very high.

Virgin Atlantic's learning is only the first step, and in the future, Xiao Qi will send more JISHU personnel to various airlines in China and Europe and the United States to study and study JISHU, and strive to create a first-class JISHU personnel like our rocket research and development team.

"No problem, ask them to go to our company for further study. I heard that you Chinese people are the most industrious, and I will have another batch of free laborers. Branson said unequivocally.

Xiao Qi smiled when he heard this, capitalists are capitalists, and they will still take advantage of them when they encounter a bargain.

But it should also be the tuition fee, and it is good to subsidize those workers on your own side.

As Branson said, Chinese people learn things the fastest and most seriously, and their ability to imitate is also super strong, otherwise there would not be so many mountains. Zhai products have counterattacked the world.

"Get me ten crosses at the beginning, and deliver them in half a year." Xiao Qi said, "I hope to have a cargo capacity of more than 40 tons. ”

"No problem, the A300B4 has a freight capacity of 43 tons, and the price of second-hand goods is about 35 million US dollars. EFW only 22-25 modifications a year, although the A300B4 is already a cargo aircraft, but it still needs further modification, you want it within half a year, the modification fee, the expedited fee together, I'm afraid one will cost 2 million. Branson calculated the price.

"Tomorrow I will transfer the money to your account and entrust you with full authority." Xiao Qi said dryly, "Half a year later, I want to see them all land on the airport in Huaguo!" ”

"Haha, Qi Shao, you are really refreshing!" Branson said with a smile, "This courier company has not yet been built, and the cost investment is so large, it seems that you want to wrestle with several major courier companies!" ”

"Every country has its own quotes." Xiao Qi said with a resolute expression: "Although they have achieved success in Quanshijie, it doesn't mean that I can't defeat them in Huaguo!" ”

Branson nodded, how can you do business without being a little domineering?

Xiao Qi's fearless character is exactly what he wants.

The two have reached a consensus on solidarity and the plane, and Branson is becoming more and more down-to-earth: "Then, look at our cooperation......"

Xiao Qi said solemnly, "Let the people below them negotiate, if there is no big problem, you will be my partner!" ”

"Great!"

Branson flicked his fist excitedly.

With a stake in DreamPad, he can reach a new level in terms of wealth and prestige! (To be continued......)
