Chapter 9: Everything is ready
At eight o'clock in the morning on Monday, the master arranged by the manufacturer came to install the shelves as agreed. In accordance with Zhao Lihong's previous design requirements, the installer placed two columns of four-row express shelves in each of the four rooms. There is a certain distance between the shelves, as well as between each column and each row of shelves and the wall, so that a small trolley can pass smoothly, so that the walking route is in a straight line, and there is no need to go back when placing and picking up goods.
Zhao Lihong sorted according to the average number of express mail per day of each company, set the shelf positions of different express companies, and marked them. The shelves of express companies with more express mail are placed in the outermost part, and the shelves of express companies with fewer express mail are placed in the innermost, following the principle of stacking products with higher turnover in the shortest distance. All the goods are marked to the channel, and face the same direction, so that there is no need to stop to confirm the signs during the access to the express mail, which can ensure that the process of putting and picking up the goods can always be carried out smoothly and improve work efficiency. In addition to renting two dormitories, in order to expand the scale of operation and save operating costs, the two also applied for the installation of smart express cabinets in Fengchao, China Post Express and Cainiao Station.
She originally thought that the express station was how to pull the source of goods, delivery, delivery, but when the planning content in the feasibility report was put into practice, she found that what was written on paper was simple and simple after all, even if it was a small "x large express service station", in actual operation, there was too much work to be done and too detailed, and it was too complicated than the content of the original mental plan. Of course, she also knows that in order for this express service station to operate smoothly, the most important thing is that there must be sufficient supply. To this end, Zhao Lihong in the past summer vacation, has communicated with YTO, SF, Shentong, Zhongtong, Yunda, Tiantian and other express companies in the nearby distribution center, asking them to transfer the express mail to their side, and help complete the last 100 meters of delivery service. Teachers and students at the school naturally hope to be able to get express mail easily and quickly, but for the sake of campus safety, the school has banned the express vehicles of these companies from entering and leaving the campus at will. Sometimes the delivery staff has to take advantage of the inattention of the school staff on duty to sneak into the campus, or can only inform teachers and students to go outside the school gate to pick up the express mail. In addition, these delivery personnel should not be too close to the school gate, otherwise they will be fined after being seen by the urban management. Now there are people who take the initiative to contact and cooperate, and can help complete the last small service of delivery to the customer, as long as the price is fair and reasonable, these express companies are really asking for it. In order to open up the market, Zhao Lihong gave the express company enough discounts, so the operation was beneficial to both parties, and it was natural to hit it off.
On the same day that the container master installed the indoor express shelves, the equipment installation company of Express Easy and Cainiao Station also arrived at the express station at about 10 o'clock in the morning, and began to install the intelligent express cabinet equipment of Fengchao, China Post Express and Cainiao Station on the vacant land behind the express station. These express cabinets are mainly used to store express mail sent by companies and manufacturers that have business dealings with the company, and indoor express containers are used to store some express mail that has not applied for express delivery and Cainiao post station self-service, as well as some large parcels or special express mail.
Because the scale of this newly established express service station is much larger than the two of them used to work part-time, the number of express mail is at least ten times that of the previous small shop, the two are completely busy, and they must find part-time students to help and share some of the work of the two, such as receiving express mail from various express companies, putting express mail into the corresponding shelves or express cabinets, and sending pickup codes to customers' mobile phones or sending express mail to customers, etc., which can be done by part-time students. So when the masters installed the express cabinets, Zhao Lihong and Yu Xiaolong organized a job fair in the express service station, preparing to recruit three work-study students to work part-time. Because she didn't want to recruit people and cause too much impact on the school, Zhao Lihong asked Yu Xiaolong to post a recruitment notice on the bulletin board in front of the first student cafeteria the afternoon before, preparing to tear down the recruitment advertisement after the job fair. But what they didn't expect was that less than six hours after the recruitment advertisement was posted, Yu Xiaolong's phone was about to be blown up by the students who applied for the job. They left a list of the 20 students who contacted him first, told them to come over at 1 p.m. the next day for an interview, and then immediately rushed to the first cafeteria to tear down the job advertisement. Later, a student called to apply, and Yu Xiaolong was told that the recruitment was full, and there were no vacant places.
Zhao Lihong knows that because the express delivery industry this kind of e-commerce is facing the terminal are individual customers, the requirements for speed and accuracy are very strict, even if the company only has one in 10,000 mistakes, it is a 100% mistake for each customer, so we must pay great attention to the quality of the recruited personnel, and require these three students to be very rigorous, in order to ensure that there is no mistake as much as possible, which requires them to conduct a more detailed examination of the students who come to apply.
Zhao Lihong and Yu Xiaolong used to start their part-time careers through a friend's introduction, and then went directly to the store to start working, and did not go through any interview links, let alone recruit personnel, but to establish a "company", recruiting personnel is a necessary link. They had no choice but to put the small office on the shelves themselves, temporarily set up this small office as a recruitment office, arrange for these 20 students to come to apply, and control the interview time of each student to less than five minutes. Fortunately, the two have accumulated a lot of experience in the previous express station work and know the basic conditions required to be couriers. After nearly two hours of interviews, Zhao Lihong and Yu Xiaolong successfully recruited three junior students who seemed to be serious and diligent. One of the girls was Zhang Yan, a student at the School of Arts, who wore a pair of round, large-framed myopic glasses, lively and cute, and two boys from the School of Architecture, one named Song Xuesong and the other named Qin Wei. Song Xuesong and Qin Wei are both of medium stature, Song Xuesong is relatively clever, and Qin Wei is relatively calm. The courses for third-year students in the School of Art and the School of Architecture are mainly design drawings, and the class time is relatively flexible and free, which is suitable for part-time work. Each student works six days a week with one day off, and the student can decide to take any day off during the week. Working hours from 10:10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with a 30-minute meal break at noon, and a salary that satisfies both parties.
At this point, Zhao Lihong and Yu Xiaolong's "X Big Express Service Station" is ready and can officially start construction. According to the agreement, although the three students who successfully applied for the job started to work the next day, after Zhang Yan signed the work agreement, they all took the initiative to stay to help clean and organize the indoor items. With the help of Zhang Yan and others in the express service station, some teachers and students who have not taken away the backlog of express mail in recent days have been quickly cleaned up and placed on the shelves that have just been installed.
