Chapter 37: Talking about couriers

The next day, Monday, the second week of Ye Fan's rebirth, began.

Just after seven o'clock, the alarm clock in the dormitory woke Ye Fan.

"Jiaqi, your phone is ringing."

Sun Jiaqi pressed it several times with his eyes closed, and finally stopped the alarm clock, and he continued to sleep with his eyes closed.

Soon, Zhao Dahao's alarm clock rang again, and he quickly turned off the alarm clock, but no one got up.

Ye Fan couldn't help but scold and said, "Nima, your alarm clock is ringing, and you don't get up, why do you say you are adjusting the alarm clock?" ”

"Brother Fan, you don't understand this, adjusting the alarm clock is an attitude to life, and not being able to get up is another thing, like if you don't even set the alarm clock in the morning, it's too depraved."

Sun Jiaqi replied with his eyes closed, and the person didn't move at all.

"You're awesome, you just keep pretending to be asleep."

After a tiring day yesterday, Ye Fan wanted to sleep lazily, but he didn't expect him to be the first to get up in the dormitory.

Seeing that Ye Fan got up, Li Weixue, who took Ye Fan as an example, also followed suit.

After getting up, Ye Fan quickly brushed his teeth and washed his face, and then started working.

He opened the store first and saw that there were more than a dozen people, but the sales were still zero, and he was ready to wait for himself to get a few orders first.

Then, Ye Fan opened the forum blog and saw that there were several new replies, and Ye Fan immediately responded one by one.

After replying, Ye Fan still disliked scolding himself for having fewer people, so he was simply going to register a few more accounts and scold himself in a targeted manner, so as to better drain the traffic.

While Ye Fan was working, several other people in the dormitory finally got up late and stepped out to go to class.

Sun Jiaqi and Lin Wu were the last to go out, and Sun Jiaqi glanced at the time: "Brother Fan, you're going to be late, aren't you going to class?" ”

"I decided, I must skip the elective courses, and I will skip the professional courses, well, Mr. Wen's class will not be skipped, and I won't go without Mr. Wen's class this morning."

After hearing this, Lin Wu nodded thoughtfully: "Well, Xiaofan's summary is quite reasonable, and I don't even want to go to class." “

"No, we are good students, we have to study hard." Sun Jiaqi was also a little moved, but when he thought that Wen Lan was in the classroom and it would be good to see beautiful women, he was still ruthless, turned around and walked out.

"Xiao Fan, you are too depraved." Lin Wu hesitated for a moment, but finally walked out.

"Hey......

At this time, there is no technical content at all, Ye Fan logged in to the trumpet, found the product and took a picture directly, Ye Fan quickly completed ten orders.

That is, the network is slow, otherwise his hand speed can be faster.

After swiping the order, Ye Fan knew that the next step was to get the express delivery.

For e-commerce, express delivery is also very important, especially in 08 years, express delivery is not only costly, but also the express delivery is not perfect.

Expensive and slow, broken and lost, is the current express delivery norm.

In 08, young white-collar workers and school students are the main force of online shopping, near the school gate, there are several express outlets, the most recent is Yuantong and Zhongtong.

The two families happened to be opposite, and Ye Fan also came here to send express delivery in his previous life, and he also had a general impression.

Yuantong's boss is a middle-aged man, with a wife and children, he looks quite honest, and he is estimated to be responsible for doing things.

Zhongtong's boss is a young man, young people are easy to communicate, but he looks a little slippery.

In 08, before the express delivery began to break out, Ye Fan observed a little at the door, and there were no customers in the two express stores.

Express delivery is a hard job, but it is also a fine job, Ye Fan still likes to deal with honest people, and he plans to talk about it first.

Seeing that there were two couriers at the gate of Yuantong bragging about it, Ye Fan walked over and handed over two cigarettes and said, "Hello courier brother, is the courier boss here?" ”

The two guys saw that it was China, which was a grade better than the Hongtashan they smoked, and they both smiled and took the cigarette.

The young man who looked a little confused, he sniffed the cigarette and said, "Just send and receive the mail to find me, why are you looking for my brother?" ”

Ye Fan was not surprised to hear that this little brother was the boss's younger brother, because at this time, doing express delivery was hard work, and the profit was not high, and it was often a family, and relatives and friends were involved in it.

Seeing that the guy liked to smoke, Ye Fan simply handed him the remaining half pack of cigarettes: "I am an online store, and I want to talk to the boss about sending express delivery." ”

"Okay, take your cigarettes, I won't let you suffer, I'll take you to him."

The guy took the pack of cigarettes and said with a smile: "My name is Yuan Huaqiang, you can find me in the future, for the sake of cigarettes, I will definitely give you the best price." ”

Ye Fan followed Yuan Huaqiang and chatted as he walked: "Okay, how many pieces can you receive in a day?" ”

Yuan Huaqiang said a little proudly: "Seventy or eighty pieces, I am the one who usually receives the most mail here." ”

Ye Fan nodded: "Then how much do you usually send a day?" ”

Yuan Huaqiang said: "There will be twice as many deliveries, and your students will receive more mail and send less." ”

Ye Fan nodded, he was thinking about calculating, the number of receiving and delivering items in a day at this outlet was hundreds of pieces.

Ye Fan was also observing the environment, and saw that the packages stacked outside the door were all placed casually, and the packages in the hall were only simply sorted.

Entering the office, it was only a little neater, but there were also courier orders scattered in a mess, and a middle-aged man was checking and sorting out the courier orders in the office.

Looking at this environment, Ye Fan frowned silently, but he also understood, because the management of express stores at this time was relatively chaotic, and the gate of Zhongtong on the opposite side was also a bunch of messy express delivery.

Seeing his younger brother bring someone in, Yuan Huafu said, "Huaqiang, what's the matter?" ”

Ye Fan took over: "Hello boss, my name is Ye Fan, I want to send a courier." ”

Yuan Huafu waved his hand: "Just send the courier outside and fill in the form." ”

Ye Fan explained: "I am an online store, I have to send express delivery every day, and I want to talk to the boss about long-term cooperation. ”

There are a lot of students who do online stores now, but they can't do it well, seeing Ye Fan so young, Yuan Huafu didn't care very much and said, "How many orders do you have a day?" ”

"Hundreds of orders."

Seeing that Yuan Huafu didn't care, Ye Fan simply blew it first.

"Well, which store is you?"

People in these years like to brag when talking about business, and Yuan Huafu is used to it, but he is not stupid, he simply doesn't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles.

Seeing that Yuan Huafu was not easy to fool, Ye Fan thought about it, and simply spread it out and said: "Boss, let's spread it out and say, I don't have 100 orders a day yet, so you can give me a quote for 10 orders, 50 orders, and 100 orders a day." ”

Yuan Huafu raised his head unexpectedly, he suddenly felt that this way of bargaining was actually quite good, the boss looked at Ye Fan carefully, although he was young, but he was very calm and calm, making people inexplicably feel that he might be able to succeed.

Yuan Huafu thought for a while and said: "If there are not enough ten orders a day, 7 yuan in the province, 9 yuan outside the province, 9 yuan for more than ten singles, 8% off for 50 singles, if there are more than 100 orders a day, I will give you a 6.5 yuan pass." ”

This price, compared to the freight ten years later, of course, is sky-high, ten years later, Yiwu's e-commerce express, as long as the amount is large, one or two pieces of a single can be.

But in 08, the domestic express delivery volume is small, the cost of a single piece is high, and this price is decent.

Ye Fan also understands the market, although he has reached the psychological price, he still said: "Boss, your price is not as cheap as Zhongtong on the other side." ”

Yuan Huafu shook his head: "Doing express delivery is hard work, not much profit, Zhongtong's kid is more slippery, if he gives you a lower price, you have to be careful." ”

Regarding Yuan Huafu's words about attacking competitors, Ye Fan did not comment, but asked: "Then boss, can the courier fee be settled monthly?" ”

The boss shook his head: "Only long-term cooperative company customers, we can settle monthly, and we start with daily settlement for new customers."

Ye Fan directly took out his student ID: "Boss, don't worry, I am a student in the School of Finance, I will definitely not be able to run away, can you help with the monthly settlement and make a good fate." ”

In the future, there will be a quantity, and the price will naturally be negotiable, Ye Fan does not plan to negotiate the price for the time being, but the account period of Dibao.com is more than 10 days, and he is more worried about his lack of working capital, so he wants to win the monthly settlement.

Ye Fan does not have a fixed office space and business license, according to usual, the boss Yuan Huafu will not agree to the monthly settlement, but looking at Ye Fan who is calm and calm, he suddenly hesitated.

Ye Fan is very different from the students he came into contact with before, he always feels that this young man can succeed, if he can become big in the future, I will give him a little favor now, it is cost-effective.

After pondering for a while, Yuan Huafu said: "The company that usually cooperates with us for a long time will only settle monthly, but I believe in you, then monthly, you will settle the courier fee of the previous month on the 1st of the next month." ”

"Okay, then thank you Boss Yuan, then please give me a hundred courier orders and courier bags first."

Ye Fan didn't want to talk about the price anymore, anyway, he didn't sign a contract, so let's talk about it after he really has the quantity.

"Hua Qiang, help get the courier bag and the courier order, send it to Boss Ye, remember to recognize the ground."

When Yuan Huafu said, "Recognize the ground", he deliberately accentuated his tone, and he did not avoid Ye Fan.

Obviously, although Yuan Huafu promised that the month was over, he still had to let his younger brother follow him to confirm whether Ye Fan was a student of the school.

Of course, Ye Fan also understands the meaning of the courier boss, although the boss Yuan Huafu is willing to buy himself a good one, he is also cautious in doing things, not as honest as he seems.

Sure enough, people who can be bosses are not simple.

Yuan Huaqiang took the express delivery bag and followed Ye Fan to the school dormitory, and then said with a smile: "Boss Ye, I put it here for you, you can send the express in the future, just contact me before nine o'clock in the evening to collect it." ”

"Okay, no problem." Ye Fan smiled, and then sent Yuan Huaqiang out.

After Yuan Huaqiang left, looking at the express delivery sheet, Ye Fan suddenly became entangled.

Because there is no electronic face sheet now, the traditional four-link express list is handwritten or printed, Ye Fan has not bought a printer, writing the express bill and shipping, it is also a meticulous and slow work.

Ye Fan suddenly thought of Lan Mengmeng, he planned to order more in the future and ask Lan Mengmeng to help deliver the goods.

"Well, it can create income for her, solve my problems, and deepen the relationship, killing three birds with one stone."
