Chapter 345
Zhuo Lin rolled the fragrant cup lightly in his palm: "Originally, I just wanted to build my own fleet to facilitate the transportation of agricultural products." But Xiao always feels that logistics is a very potential industry. Now that the city is going to develop, there is no shortage of fleets everywhere, don't you say? Once the fleet grows, it will be able to run goods all over the country. Mr. Xiao also talked about a situation that may happen in the future: phone shopping. ”
Zhou Xiaokun thoughtfully: "Phone shopping? ”
"Yes. This is already a very common way of selling abroad. No matter where you are, just buy something from a certain company and that company will take care of delivering it to your doorstep. Zhuo Lin explained slightly, and Zhou Xiaokun understood.
"Do you think there will be a day when phone shopping will develop in China?"
Zhuo Lin nodded: "This is inevitable. Mr. Xiao also said that in the future, there will be a more convenient way to shop than telephone shopping, but either way, there must be strong logistics support. ”
Zhou Xiaokun understood: "So, Xiao always thinks that I have experience and connections in this area, so you want to ask me to cooperate?" ”
Zhuo Lin asked rhetorically: "Is Mr. Zhou willing to cooperate with us?" ”
Zhou Xiaokun was silent for a moment: "You let me think about it." ”
Zhuo Lin nodded and pushed the tea canister of the big red robe to him: "Mr. Zhou, if you don't advance against the current, you will retreat." In the capital and Haicheng, the act of breaking away from public office and running a private enterprise is called 'going to the sea', and the reason for this is that it takes hard work to enter the sea. ”
Zhou Xiaokun said in a deep voice: "I understand what you and Mr. Xiao mean. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. ”
Zhuo Lin immediately resigned.
Zhou Xiaokun looked at the big red robe and was distracted.
Thanks to his ex-wife, his road to officialdom has reached a dead end. can let him leave politics and go to the sea to do business, but he is still uncertain.
Returning to the museum with his thoughts, looking at the truckload of mud and sand, he quietly stepped forward to talk to the driver and handed him a cigarette.
"Master, your team is doing a good business, right?"
The driver took the cigarette and smiled: "Leader." I'm just a creep. But it's a good business. Our team doesn't have time to pick up the work. ”
Zhou Xiaokun nodded and asked, "Then how many cars are in your fleet?" ”
The driver said, "Not much." Just six. But our company is ready to expand. A second fleet was built. ”
Zhou Xiaokun asked with a smile: "Is the business so good?" Then your team can't take over the business of other provinces and cities? ”
The driver smiled: "If you have money to make, we will take it." However, business in other provinces and cities is a bit troublesome. It's not a good road. The handover of goods is too cumbersome. And it's a delay. It's not as good as short-distance business. ”
Zhou Xiaokun was silent.
If you can hand over the fleet from one place to the next like a train, a lot of problems can be solved.
He called his son, who was far away in Haicheng.
Zicheng, who was devastated by his mother's suicide, spent a year recuperating in the hospital before recovering. He Wan's father and brother saw Zicheng's dementia, and they were painful and remorseful. The slightest thought of settling accounts with Zhou Xiaokun can't be lifted - after all, He Wan didn't even care about his own son and dragged him to the funeral, what position do they have and what qualifications do they have to trouble Zhou Xiaokun? He lost his future, and it would be good if the Zhou family didn't settle accounts with them. What's more, children need fathers.
"Dad." The son's voice on the phone was as calm as ever, calm and a little excited. "Dad. I participated in the school's mechanical competition, and our group won the third place! ”
Zhou Xiaokun's nose was sour: "Okay." Congratulations. ”
Zhou Zicheng asked again: "Dad." How have you been? Is the work going well? ”
Zhou Xiaokun was moved. The son also knew that He Wan's death had affected his career.
"I've got something I want to discuss with you."
"What's the matter?"
"Your high school classmate Xiao Lingmei invited me to start a business with her. Get a state-of-the-art logistics company. ”
Zhou Zicheng was stunned: "Dad-"
"Hmm. I know it sounds incredible, but—"
"Dad. Whatever you do, I've got your back. Zhou Zicheng was slightly excited, "What's more, the logistics company is a very good idea." Our teachers also mentioned the concept of logistics in their lessons. The teacher also said that everything from bicycles and motorcycles to trucks, boats and trains. There are also airplanes - the development of the country must be inseparable from the development of logistics, and the day when logistics passes through the whole country is the heyday of the country. Dad, you have connections and have studied logistics, this is a rare opportunity. ”
Zhou Xiaokun was aroused by his son's words.
"College wasn't in vain." He chuckled. "Okay. Your dad and I went to the sea in middle age and switched to logistics! ”
After decisively submitting her resignation and finishing her work, Xiao Lingmei finally ushered in the helm of her logistics empire in BJ.
The lights in the courtyard of Liulichang were bright all night, and Zhou Xiaokun and Ling Mei, Zhuo Lin, and Gao Jing talked and laughed, setting the grand cause of China's first logistics company.
More than a month later, there was another listing on the doorpost outside the courtyard: Huatong Logistics Co., Ltd.
Zhou Xiaokun's spirit has doubled into the ocean of entrepreneurship. His background and identity have solved many problems, and with his professional ability, the Huatong fleet has expanded from three trucks to ten in less than half a year. Most importantly, he effortlessly opened up the network of railway connections. In the future, the goods of the Huatong fleet will be transported by railway across provinces. So he immediately set up a company branch in Haicheng, and at the same time accepted business between Beijing and Shanghai.
At this time, everyone is used to sending things to the post office, but the disadvantage of the post office is that it cannot be delivered to the door. I also have to go to the post office to pick up the goods. Huatong Express was born, whether it is large or small, it must be delivered to the doorstep. And the price is about the same as the post office. As a result, the logistics business has become visible to the naked eye.
The logistics company had Zhou Xiaokun, and Ling Mei found the county magistrate of Yanqing County with the report card of Changping Strawberry and the negotiation team.
Gao Jing unveiled Lingmei's plan to develop Yanqing County into the country's first vineyard in front of the county leaders.
"It's not just grapes, it's wines that are more profitable." Gao Jing pointed out the key points, "We are cooperating with Capital Agricultural University for the wine project. ”
Lin Peixuan got up and said, "Leaders, I am a teacher of microbiology at Forestry University. Wine making is a new technology in the country. But we have a lot of experience and an ample testing environment. Moreover, we have already succeeded in making the first bottle of our domestic white wine. ”
The county leader stared at the two bottles of wine on the table, one of which was the fresh dry white of the imported xx manor. One bottle is the dry white of longan grapes. Lin Peixuan poured two glasses of wine for everyone present: "You can taste the difference between the two bottles of wine." I dare say that our wines are more mellow and fragrant. The aftertaste is stronger. ”
The county magistrates are not necessarily people who understand wine, but fortunately, they also invited a master Guan from the county winery and Li Changyan, a well-known "god of wine" in the county, to come to check for this exchange.
Lee Chang-yeon is a man with a bit of a legend.
