Chapter 15 Invincible after Selflessness
You don't have to be too polite to contact your old classmates, Yang Zhou directly dialed Guo Wentao's phone.
It's just that the phone was not connected, maybe Guo Wentao was recording the show, Yang Zhou had to leave a message on WeChat first, telling Guo Wentao that he had something to do with him.
Yang Zhou also checked the news on the Internet, this is the first time he has run a large-scale commercial project, and he has no capital in his pocket, so the preliminary work must be done in place.
If you want to sell goods to all parts of the country and solve the problem of publicity, the most important thing is the courier fee.
Yang Zhou was a little worried that Wang Binxiang would not be able to handle this matter, he inquired about the express fees of major companies on the Internet, and his heart was cold after reading the charges of each company.
It turns out that most courier companies charge quite expensive, especially for shipping things that exceed a few kilograms.
In the past, many products on Taotao were free of charge, but that was because the express delivery was very small, such as data cables, and the power bank could not occupy much space at all.
And Yang Zhou wants to express vegetables, which are not small in size, and they must be more than 5 catties when they sell 5 catties plus packaging.
The sales price is only 0.8 yuan, which means that the total is only 4 yuan, and Deng Yun also said that it is free shipping!
"No, you can't sell five catties at the minimum, at least 10 yuan to start!" Yang Zhou frowned and thought.
Yang Zhou compared various express companies, 10 catties of things, the average discount is at least 3 yuan per kilogram, and the standard is 5 yuan a kilogram, no wonder few people express delivery to sell vegetables.
Rubbing his temples, Yang Zhou continued to inquire about the news through various information channels, and found the cheapest courier fee from Zhihu, large-scale mailing, starting at 4 yuan for 1kg, and adding 1 yuan for each additional 1kg.
According to Yang Zhou's planning just now, 10 yuan of vegetables is about 12.5 catties even if it is 6kg, and the final freight is 9 yuan, and Yang Zhou's income is 10 yuan, the cost of vegetables is more than 6 yuan, and the packaging is 5 cents, and the final cost is 16 yuan.
Propaganda relies on Guo Wentao, if you owe personal favors and don't calculate, each package will be counted as 1 yuan in labor costs, and in the end, a package will lose 7 yuan!
After calculating, Yang Zhou found that as long as the express delivery cost was compressed from 9 yuan to 2 yuan, the capital could be guaranteed, and the price was less than 2 yuan.
Yang Zhou gave up the lowest price of 10 yuan and decided to 19.9 a box, so that it was just 25 catties, and 30,000 tons was 1.2 million boxes.
In this way, there is a lot of room for negotiation, and the packaging cost and labor cost are also 1 yuan, and in the end, there is 6.4 yuan in addition to the hard cost, and the express delivery fee must be within 6.4 yuan, so as not to lose money.
It is best to send 25 catties of express delivery for 5 yuan, and each express delivery earns 1.4 yuan, and the profit is 1.68 million.
The courier fee seems to be a big loss for the courier company, but the total amount is calculated, but it is a large order of 6 million!
Yang Zhou's thinking is a little clearer, if the order of 6 million, it is still possible to convince the express company.
After all, the express company is at least 20 yuan according to the normal price of 25 catties, and the cost is naturally not so much.
Yang Zhou is responsible for packing vegetables into cartons, they are transported to each city, the cost of the express company is freight, the cost of the wagon fee does not count the loss of the vehicle, there is only the fuel money and the driver's salary, as well as the storage cost, originally each express company is also spending this part.
It's a big deal to send it slowly, and it should still be able to be solved.
After feeling a little bottom in his heart, Wang Binxiang also called in the afternoon.
"Senior brother, I have mobilized everyone to contact several express delivery points, the situation is not ideal, their minimum charge is 1 yuan per kilogram, your cost can't be reduced! However, the problem of packing boxes was solved, I found the secretary of the regiment, and asked the school-affiliated printing house to help under his guidance, and the cost of one or two million boxes was finally reduced to 3 or 4 cents each. Wang Binxiang said.
Yang Zhou has already calculated the approximate cost, and immediately said: "I have also calculated here, a total of 30,000 tons of vegetables need to be shipped, the lowest price is 19.9 yuan, 25 catties of a box, a total of 1.2 million boxes, the express fee must be compressed to less than 5 yuan, this is a list of 6 million, can you talk to the courier company?" ”
"I remember that there are many online stores that sell fruits, onions, and potatoes in Pinxixi, and they can sell more than a dozen catties of things for 9.9 yuan.
Since Yang Zhou has pulled the help of the president of the student union, he will naturally not solve any problems by himself, Wang Binxiang is a student in Qingbei University, and he is studying economics and social sciences, and he has more connections in school.
For example, if Yang Zhou asked Yang Zhou to talk about the packing box, he really didn't necessarily want the school-affiliated printing house to help.
Wang Binxiang obviously also thought of the express delivery method of Pinxixi, explaining: "In fact, the model of Pinxixi is a little different from ours, they are Pinxixi take the initiative to go to the countryside to help farmers sell, in other words, Pinxixi is the seller, 9.9 yuan, some of this is Pinxixi in order to advertise, even if it is lost, it can be calculated in the advertising cost." ”
"In addition, Pinxi has branches in most cities, and towns are no exception, as well as their own freight storage system, things are digested internally, and finally 9.9 also earns."
"Unless you want to take your place and let them come, we don't have anything to do."
Yang Zhou immediately understood what Wang Binxiang meant, if this project is operated day and night, the profit will not be anything to Yang Zhou.
"There should still be a lot of sellers who contact their own couriers, you inquire again, it is also a 6 million courier business, and the courier company explains, we are also helping classmates to help the villagers, and the profits will also be donated! Let's talk about it from the perspective of the media, let's mobilize our contacts together and make the whole thing appear in various self-media or TV news, do you think it is feasible? Yang Zhou asked in a different way of thinking.
Wang Binxiang was stunned for a moment, Yang Zhou had said about the donation before, and he thought that Yang Zhou would donate a little bit or talk about it verbally.
But judging from the current posture, it is really doing charity.
"Senior brother, your idea is very good, but if you do it, under the supervision of the media, you can't play any tricks during the period!" Wang Binxiang asked solemnly.
"I know, this matter was going to help Deng Yun from the beginning, as well as Qiankou Village, since we didn't plan to make money from the beginning, then we will do it generously, and we have to pull more people to do it, you can see if you can let the business school come up with a plan, let's do a big job?" Yang Zhou smiled.
Anyway, now that he has taken the initiative, Deng Yun and him are good friends, and Qiankou Village is tied to him because of land contracting, and no one can replace him.
When the time comes, the media will supervise, and the money earned in the early stage will still go into his account, and in the eyes of the system, it must be his own income.
If you can really earn millions, donate if you donate.
Yang Zhou simply became a hands-off shopkeeper and supported the students of Qingbei University to operate.
If Wang Binxiang used the name of charity to let the express company also greatly reduce the freight, the matter would definitely be successful.
Yang Zhou didn't think that the courier company was completely free, and he had to let the family recover the cost, of course, it was not ruled out that the courier company invited the name and really reduced the millions of courier fees.
For express delivery companies, it is not uncommon for millions to be used as an advertisement.
It all depends on how the business school students talk about it and which step they can talk about.
"Okay, this matter is more meaningful, there are a lot of media people in our school, I will write a report on this matter, so that the Youth League Committee also knows, when the time comes, the school may support our students' good deeds, before that, I want to take the students to Qiankou Village for an on-site inspection, so that they also know what they are doing, can the senior brother arrange it?" Wang Binxiang asked.
Yang Zhou immediately agreed, hung up Wang Binxiang's phone, Yang Zhou immediately contacted Deng Yun, this time the matter was really out of control, Deng Yun couldn't drop the chain.
really responded to that sentence, the more selfless you are, the more invincible you are, you don't even make money, and standing in the name of righteousness, many things will naturally get a lot of help.
