Chapter 6: Making Money
Ma Yun once said in a keynote speech at the Global Smart Logistics Summit held in Yunqi Town, Hangzhou in 2017, "If you say that e-commerce is a miracle in China and a miracle in the world, I personally believe that the logistics industry is truly the greatest miracle born in China in the past decade." ”
Ten years ago, express delivery in China was still unknown and unaware of the existence of ghosts. But today, ten years later, it has become an indispensable part of people's lives. The rapid and even rapid development of this can be described as a miracle.
The United States spent a hundred years to develop express delivery, and Huaxia only took ten years to catch up, and the overall business volume of the express delivery industry in 2014 was 14 billion pieces, surpassing the United States to become the world's first. Since then, there has been no recession, and it has maintained rapid development every year.
Maybe someone wants to say it here, it is because of the large population of China and the relatively low labor cost. But anyone who has really been in this industry in the early days knows it. How lucrative is the courier industry.
When Xu Yu was in junior college, there were nine universities around. Zhongtong Express alone has to distribute at least about 500 parcels every day. Compared with Yuantong, Shentong is more than one step behind.
What's the profit? Xu Yu charged a delivery fee of three yuan per courier at that time.
You may not understand this.
Because express delivery was developing at that time, some places were beyond the scope of delivery, could not be delivered, and could only be picked up at the store.
And every day in the off-season, there can be almost 500 express deliveries, each piece is 3 yuan, which is 1,500 yuan per day. In the event of a festival like Double 11, the amount of delivery can even be tripled or five.
And how much does it cost? Xu Yu had a good relationship with the contracted senior at the time, and he talked to him when he was drunk. The senior said that compared to profits, the cost is almost negligible. Because when contracting, it is not contracted by piece, but signed a contract for half a year or even longer to contract and distribute.
Of course, it's not that the person in charge of that outlet is SB, but I don't know that these students are so dark-hearted, and I don't know how they charge. I just want to get rid of this burden that is beyond the scope of delivery.
At this time period, not to mention Zhongtong, which is not too big an express delivery now. Even Shentong, Yuantong and other express deliveries have not yet been discovered, and no one has contracted them for the time being.
If Xu Yu takes this opportunity to catch all these couriers. The daily profit can be said to be very substantial.
Shentong is at least 1,000 pieces per day, Yuantong is slightly worse but will not be less than 800, and express delivery such as Zhongtong and Yunda is also about 500 pieces per day. Other days, Baishihuitong, SF Express, etc. have not yet arrived in Songming.
According to this calculation, Xu Yu has at least 2,800 express deliveries per day, and each piece is three yuan, which means an income of at least 8,400 yuan per day, or 25,200 per month.
Of course, so many couriers Xu Yu can't be delivered alone. But there is not much else in the university, but there are many people. It's easy to find a few work-study jobs. There are a total of nine universities, according to the number of different couriers for each university. Xu Yu needed at least twenty or so people to help him. According to the salary of 800 per person, 200 words are compensated. The expenditure is around twenty or thirty thousand. Excluding the cost of pulling the express to the school and signing the contract, the net profit is at least 200,000 yuan per month.
It's not an exaggeration at all, Xu Yu still counts less, this is just delivery, and there are also commissions for sending express delivery and so on. Although the profit here cannot be compared with delivery for the time being, it is also one of the major focuses of income.
Why does Xu Yu know so clearly? Speaking of which, this is also one of the few things that Xu Yu regrets in his life.
At that time, the boss said that he would contract the express delivery from Songming to the school, but there were too many schools around, and he was ready to allocate a part of it to Xu Yu and a few of them to help deliver the express contract.
But Xu Yu didn't know if it was his brain or something, so he didn't agree and introduced him to a fellow countryman.
As a result, because the school contracted by his fellow countryman was a new campus, there were only freshmen and sophomores in the school, and if they were juniors and seniors, they would go to Kunming City to study. It's good to die, the school changed this rule the next year, and the sophomore and junior didn't go to Kunming, they stayed, and the freshmen also went to that school.
This is equivalent to adding at least one-third of the people, and his fellow also added one-third of the profit, and the fellow invited someone to send it, and he was idle, and he still got a profit of several thousand yuan every month. Xu Yu is all kinds of envy and jealousy.
So I know a little bit more about these.
Thinking of this, Xu Yu felt a faint pain in his heart again, and couldn't help but get up and get out of bed and walk outside. He wants to take advantage of the two-day holiday to deal with this matter.
......
Walking all the way out of the dormitory and into the campus, seeing the people on the sidewalk with yearning for college life on their faces, Xu Yu's heart seemed to be relaxed. The pressure on the system doesn't seem to be so heavy anymore.
In his previous life, Xu Yu often commented on the beauties on the side of the road with a few brothers in the dormitory, and when he saw the beautiful one returning to the dormitory, he couldn't help but boast, saying that he had met a beautiful woman with a good figure, a long look, and a pair of long legs.
Gee.
The girls of this era are not so realistic, although there are many people in the south and the north, but they are basically very simple.
can't wear makeup, can't sell cute, and can't pretend to be pure.
Each is all natural.
Xu Yu watched as he walked, because he had just entered school and didn't have any friends. A person's figure can't help but seem a little lonely. When I walked outside the school gate, I heard the familiar shouts at the door, and the corners of my mouth unconsciously flashed a smile.
"Yang Lin, Yang Lin. Ten dollars a piece, ten dollars a piece. ”
I randomly found a car that looked pleasing to the eye and sat on it, and Xu Yu's thoughts were a little fluttering.
In their previous lives, they were like this when they delivered couriers, not too tired, but very fulfilling. When the three-wheeled motorcycle responsible for delivering couriers to various schools was empty, Xu Yu and his friends often sat on the three-wheeled motorcycle and shouted:
"Yang Lin, Yang Lin, three pieces one, three pieces one."
Of course, this is just a joke. A way to relax that is unique to them.
Yang Lin is very windy, not the kind of biting, but very sticky, especially in winter, when riding on a tricycle, even wearing a thick cotton jacket and gloves will feel cold. Not to mention riding on a tricycle.
Hundreds of couriers a day, and that's how they were delivered at that time. Although he also shouted bitterness and tiredness. But it also has its own power that warms people's hearts.
The university is so in the past, obviously, in the future. Xu failed to live up to the hardships he had suffered.
However, this life begins anew. The future will change for me. I will take back all the sufferings I suffered in my previous life.
Thinking of this, a raging fire bloomed in Xu Yu's eyes.
